Mr.. EDITOR In looking around
for the many causes that are running
our whole country, where do we find
one that is half so potent as extrava-
gance and speculation, and who is
most to blame for it9 Well, let US
commence at the head of our list and
come downwards. Our President,
the wisest as we'll IS the best, so say
his party, receives $50, 200 salary.
Does he comprehend the condition
of the country, when he accepts such
an enormous sum? Then the Cab

who are not entirely innocent; but
probably the members OF Congress
and the Senate are most guilty tor
voting these salaries, and their own
five or six thousand. Does one of
our private citizens in ten Thousand

lifetime by hard and honest work.

9he People Protest.

An objection is interposed by the
undersigned senators and represen-.
tatlves to the decision made by the
commission constituted by the act
entitled an act to approve and regu-
late the counting OF the votes for
president and vice,president and the
decision of questions arising there~
from for theterm con1ihencing March
3, A. D. 1877, as to the true and le>
gal electoral vote of Florida on the
following ground: ... .......
: The decision determined that the
vote cast by Q. FL. Pearce, F. O..
Humphries, W. 81. Holden, and T.
W, Long, as electors of president and
vice president Of the United States
in>and=for and behalf of the State Of
Florida, is the true and legal elector-
al vote of the said State, when in
truth and in fact the vote cast by
Wilkinson Call, J. E. Young, Robert
Z. Hilton and Robert Bullock, is the
true and lawful vote of said State.
For that committee refused to re-
ceive competent and material evi-
dence tending to prove that @. 81.
Pearce, f. @. Humphries, 7. w.
Long, and w. II. Holden we're not
appointed electors in the manner
prescribed by the legislature of the
State of Florida, but were designated
as electorsby the returning board of
said State corruptly and fraudulently
in disregard Of law, or with intent to
defeat the will Of the people express
ed in the choice Of Wilkinson Gall,
j. E. Young, r. O. Hilton and Rob-
ert Bullock, who were legally and
regularly appointed electors by the
State of Florida in the manner pre-
scribed by the legislature thel eof. y X
For that the commission refused to
recognize the rights of the courts of
the State of Florida to review and
reverse the judgment of the returning
board Of canvassers rendered through
fraud, without jurisdiction, and re-
jected and refused to consider the
action of said courts after their decis.
ion that Pearce, Humphreys, Holden
and Long were not entitled to cast
the electoral vote of the State of
Florida, which said decision was rem.
dered by a court of said State, law
fully brought before said court,
which court had jurisdiction over the
subject matter thereof, and whose
jurisdiction over the said Pearce,
Humphreys, Holden and Long bad
attached before any act was done by
them as electors. IT,. n
That said decision excludes all ev.
licences tending to show that the
State Of Florida by all the depart
ments of it's goVernment-legislative,
judicial and execntive--had decreed
as fraudulent all the certificates of
Stearns, governor, as we'll as that of
the state canvassers, upon which
certificate the said canvassers had
acted. and by means of which the
true electoral votes of Florida have
been rejected and false ones substi~
tuted in their stead, and -
s. For that the count of the votes
OF Pesrce. Humphreys, Holden and
Long for presidentand vice.president
would be violation of the constitu-
ton of the United States.
