INELIGIBLE ELECTORS.

NEW YORK, Feb. IT, The Herdld's
special has the following points on the
ineligible elector question: In Judge
Bradley's written opinion he lays it down
that if anywhere an elector was Federal
officer and cast his vote for elector while
holding the Federal Office, such vote can
not be counted. The Democrats mean
to produce such a vote in Wisconsin,
where DR.. Downs, one of the electors
was pension surgeon when chosen cleo
tor, did not resign, held the office when
he voted in the Electoral College and
continues to hold it. OF course, as there
is but single return from WisconsinthIs
case will come up only before the two
houses, but it will there have to be voted
for. ...
Among the Democrats there are vari-
Gus shades Of feeling, ranging from deep
disgust and anger to belief that the
Oregon case is now stronger than ever
and cannot be decided for Hayes without.
such complete reversal Of the grounds
of the two decisions made, as can hardly
be expected of lawyers and Supreme
Judges. The party leaders are quiet and
self possessed and will prevent any fool
ish action, if any should be attempted,
unless it be the adjournment, which
appears to be generally determined
on, and which they mean to justify by
speedy action on Monday.

Louisiana to find what hassbeeif enacted
under that proviso. This brings us back
to the act of1S68. We there find, under
section $3.50 of the Revised Statutes, as
follows: ....f
off any one or more of the Electors
chosen bg the people shall fail, from any
cause whatever, to attend at the appoint
ed place, at the hour of 4 D. m. of the day
prescribed for their meeting, it shall be
the duty of the other Elec5ots Immediate
ly to proceed by ballot to supply such va
cancy or vacancies" 'ji
This law, 1t is clear, fully provides for
vacancies which might have occurred be-
tween the election (Nov.7 1876, when
the electoral college was created by the
votes of the people, and the sixth of De
cember, when the college met to cast its
vote, and comes fully under the first pro
viso Of the act of Congress; but does 1t
touch the difficulty in question? Does 1t
provide a way for completing an elestor-
al college where Ithe people have not
chosen slectors2 It's swords are: l"IfIany
one or more of the electors chosen BIZ tie
iF~0l''Ntl lNrS' - - =" laws Wy
must look further into the law of the
State for our remedy; but, unfortunately
for the hopes of this incomplete Electora
College, our lawmakers seem never to
have contemplated the event Of a failure
to mako a choice upon the part Of the
people, and there is no lawupon the stat
ute books of Louisiana enacted under the
second proyiso of the act of Congress. 81
1t may be stated then, as an irrefutable
fact, that in the State of Louisiana, if, at
an election for Presidential ELECTORS, the
people fail to chose electors or an elector
then there is no law by which an elector-
al college may be created or an incom-
plete electoral college completed. The
Republican electoral college was compos-
ed of but six members on the sixth day of
December. and there was no law, nation
al or State, under which it could be COM
pleted. .t r..a..f .. .

TITR ELECTORAL COIf1fISSION
FRA I'D

FRA I'D.
Mr.. BoGY (Mo.) said while he con-
Cured in much said by the Senator
from California in condemning frauds
in Oregon, he was not willing to re-
main iu his place and permit O. stigma
of that kind to be fixed upon the Dem
ocratic party as the only party guilty
of fraud. He was opposed to fraud ia
every shape, political or private quiet
but the country knew that fraud was
not confined to Oregon. There were
frauds in Florida. Great frauds were
perpstrated there by the Republican
party. Frauds were perpetrated by
that partylina Louisiana, aud the coun.
try knew, the result of the frauds.
These States were like whited sepul.
chres-fair without. but within as
foul as heH.W AaBleiDoI DIG si9i.goy
Telegrams were sent from the city
OF Washington to Florida Immediate
|ly after the election which meant
fraud. That fraud was not SO plain
% I'M the Oregon case as the man Gin
Oregon was new in the business. The
kilograms from Washington, to Florida
emanated from men of more expe-
rience in fraud and rascality. He
thenlreferred TO the proceedings be-
fore the Electoral Commission IL and
said, the commission In the case OF
Florida laid down two rules for its
guidance: First that they would not
Investigate anything which had trans
pired before or preceding the return
made by the Governor, expecting 4 in
relation TO the eligibility OF electors.
Their decision left that question open
for investigation by q vote Of eight to
seven. 1t was of course believed by
the whole country that the same, rule
would be applied to Louisiana. Who
on earth would have doubted the pro-
priety of the application Of that rule
when 1t had beeR enforced in the State
yesterday that decision was reversed
we know that q member OF that COM
mission but yesterday changed his
position upon that subject. And
while it was competent in the State
of Florida to 60 behind the returns to
examine whether. electors were or
were not eligible under the Constitu-
tion of the United States, when the
motion was made by the Senator from
Delaware (MB. BAYARD, to apply the
same to Louisiana, the decision was
reversed. ....,....4 ...l..... 49,.
The case had been made so plain by
counsel, SO strong, so irrefutable that
such an examination: could not take
place without proving beyond the pos
sibility OF doubt. that more than one
elector from that State was not enti-
tied 10 the position Of elector, be-
cause he was not eligible, and this de-
cision was changed by this commls-
sion. Sir, the name Of G .Ieffreys and
Marlborough have come down to us
for ages past covered with disgrace
and shame because they were corrupt
judges: and the name of that man
who changed his vote upon that com
mission: (Justice Bradley)i.will go
down to after ages diagraced. his
name " ill be assoc lated with Marl-
borough ana Jeffreys, and it never
will be pronounced without hiss
from all good men in this country.

LOUISIANA TO BE REFUSE TO
BE FURTHER OPPRESSED.

NEw ORLEANS, La, February 1S.
The feeling in this city is very fever
ish in view OF the possible recognition
of Packard in the President this week
Governor Nichols is determined to
maintain his position as Governor,
whatever action may be taken by the
authorities at Washington. There is
no doubt that any attempt to reinstate
Packard by means of the Unite States
troops will be resisted. Arms have
been arriving in the city lately quite
extensively and it is reliably reported
now that about seven thousand OF the
finest rifles are in the possession ofthe
Nichols militia, besides other inferior
guns. 1t is pretty generally under
stood that Governor Nichols will
abandon his position only to super
ior force. e--.-

Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1877-11-22

THE new road from Diamond to Tongue
river is to be looked out yet this winter. &c.
A. Kellogg passed through to the East Side
a few days ago for that purpose. c. w.
Cook, one of our efficient County Commits
%sione1s, will accompany him. They will
first survey the route down the Musclesllell
and across to the waters of the Little Porcu-
pine, and down it to the Yellowstone. This
road located, they will prospect for another
from Tongue river to Carroll. As stated
last week, it is probable that the govern
ment freight for the new Posts on the Vel
lowstone will be shipped via Carroll, and
this latter route is being looked out with
this view. The Diamond r transportation
company are greatly interested in this mat
ter, and will do much towards establishing
it. The new Tongue river road will be of
great benefit to Meagher county, as the dis
lance from Diamond to the new Post is not
greater than from BoZeman, and the road
will be as fine as can be found in the world.
The late improvement on the road in Con
federate gulch, enabling teams to reach Dia-
mond without a hill, makes this route across
the Belt range one of easy grade and the
best mountain road anywhere, and there is
no doubt a great deal of travel to Eastern
Montana will pass this way next spring.

The Taylor Family visited Diamond this
week, playing Monday and Tuesday nights
to good houses, considering that they were
~unannounced. This, however, was not the
fault of the company, as they had sent bills
a week ahead, out owing to the carelessness
OF the Express Co.. the bills were DELAYED.
and the company arrived only a few hours
before the performance Monday night. The
audience was much larger Tuesday night.
the news of their presence having become
better known. This company has played
in all the principal towns in the Territory,
and were we'll advertised, and a sufficient
notice of their coming would have assured
them a large turn out. Having heard much
through the Territorial press of the talent
of the company, our expectations We're
great. and we are pleased to say we were
not disappointed. This is a truly talented
family, and their entertainment is flrst-class.
The selections We're all of a moral character,
and performed in a manner which won loud
and prolonged applause. Joe Taylor as a
banjo manipulation has but few equals, and
he succeeded in getting more music out of
his favorite instrument-the African harp
than any one we have ever seen before Z; Mrs.
Taylor has a very melodious voice. and both
are clever light comedy artists, and sustain
their characters well. Little Matte, who is
the chief attraction, is a wonderful prodigy,
and a whole show of herself. We haye
never before seen Sc fine a juvenile artist as
this little girl. Her facial representations
and character aelineatIons We're excellent
indeed. The entire audience was well
pleased, and will ever have a cordial well
come for the Taylor family, come when they
will. The company left for Radersbnrg on
Wednesday. and will perform in Bozeman
Monday and Tuesday next, from whence
they will go to Pony and Virginia City, anA
thence to Corinne. We wish them a pleas
ant journey, wherever they 60, and a safe
return to our mountain land.
