ssays:
Neither the public nor the citizens,

tons OF fraud, perjury and forgery, il
The measures Adopted IL ibis case are
held to be int ffectnt,l and inst fficiept.
Judge Bradley, TO whose opinion. as
the odd mau. much imporsauce was
attaeht d, say of Florida:
1t seems to me clear, therefore, that
Congress cannot institute a scrutiny
into tho appointment of electors by the
State. While the two Houses are
authorized to canvass the electoral vote,
no authority is given them 10 canvass
the election OF the electors themselves
Aud here the inquiry naturally arises
as to the manner ia-whlch the electors
appointed by State are to be accred-
aited. Itbink 1t eaunot be denied that
the certificate of the Governor is the
proper and regular credential of the
ssppointment and official character of
the electors. "
In the Oregon case this opinion was
.overruled by Bradley. VINO fonnd it
necessary to deny the above assertions

the action OF deputy constable connected
with the Seventh Justices Court, but as yet
nothing concerning the matter has been heard
from tho Grand Jury. That an officer of the

sngis Of q writ, TO break In and enter dwell

to be looked into and the inquiry should be
pushed. II he had entered the residence Of
some Of our wealthy merchants, who are ablo
TO prosecute, the case mightbe different. The
poor mans rights, under the law, are the
same and his little $40 are as much TO him as
hundreds are to others.
This constable pest has had It's day, and the
