The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1877-02-01

The Washington Correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial thus speak OLSEN
ator Thurman's speech on the Compro.
mise Bill.
Mr.. Thurman rising to speak, draws the
Senate about him in a manner that ought
to be fattering to him. He first answers
the objection that the bill is novel by say
ing that he who says this, shows that he
has not studied the Constitution or the
history of this country with profit. The
proposed Commission will be no more
secret tribunal, as was hiuted by his col
legue from Ohio, than is the Senate when
acting as Court Of impeachment, or than
the Supreme Court is. Abiding to the
charge that the members of the Commits
sion will act as partisans, he says that if
we have come to that, our institutions
have lasted too long. We must have no
more Judges of the Supreme Court if we
can not trust them. The people ought
not to be expected to obey laws enacted
by men who are not of such character as
to command their esteem and confidence
or to hold in reverential respect the de-
cisions ofa court composed of men who
can not be trusted in situations demand
ing the qualities of honesty and integrity.
He entraps Senator Sherman into an eff.
fort to explain who in his opinion ought
to count the votes, wherein he says that
while the acts of great States should be
opened and tabulated by the President
of the Senate, he also holds that the two
hn, Ho, oofhiY,,r laou tN Il 1O
with the ceremony. And then he finds
it necessary to take turn towards shore,
for the water is getting deep, and he sat
down very pale, and feeling very uncom-
Portable, apparently, while the entire
audience, above and below, laugh with
great gusto.
Mr.. Thurman has such faculty ofget-
ting right down to the merits of points
without fuss or feathers, and has such a
delightful way of spicing his strong logic
al arguments with jokes of subaside fer
vor, that it is really as great pleasure to
hear him as any other man in the Senate,
the circumstance that
he never rises to a flight of eloquence or
the sublimity ofhyperbole. AS
he progresses, clinching point after point
in favor of the bill, the wonder grows
that after all the talk so much has been
left for him to say.
Mr.. Thurman closed with an expression
of pride that he lad been member of
the committee to frame the bill, and had
used his best efforts to bring about
peaceful solution of question which
if left unsettled, to bring
upon the country. He was glad
to know that he would go down to history
As one of the authors of this bill.

tigated by scientific men. "A commission
ofable men was appointed to investigate
the disease in Missouri, and and an al
most exhausted report was made but
still the hogs died. The conclusion ar
rived at was It was not "cholera," which
was correct, as there were no symptoms
of the disease, Post m0rtem examina.
tions showed diseased tissue of the vari-
GUS kinds Being inclined to help in the
investigation, made an examination of
q hog about six hours after its death and
to sum up the result large cancerous
growth was found in the intestines, and
the most astonishing feature was the dis
covery Of, living parasites in the lungs.
They were 80 small as not to be seen with
the naked eye, but under magnifying
power of 200 diameters the parasites
could be seen moving through the fields
of the microscope, and more astonishing,
they were discovered after maceration in
acetic acid for three days, and the same
time in alcohol.
A detailed account of the above was
published in the Independence Register,
and copied iu the st. Louis papers, which
attracted the attention of Prof Riley,
State entomologist, who denied my state
ment, and commented on it severely, and
held the parasite business up to ridicule.
To back up my discovery / examined the
carcasses of slaughtered hogs and found
with the unaided eye some more para.
sites of the same kind, measuring about
ten lines Length and to all appearance
belonged to cy8ti cerci / closed the con.
by sending one of them bottled
in alcohol to the State Board of Agricul-
ture, and there the matter rests. So much
for the microscope and its teachings.
Now those who hoist or think to hoist
their banner Westward, Hol" or believe
in the maxim of H, G. had better stay at
home and hoe.
A person well fixed in Stark county or
in any place east ofthe Mssissipl River
had better stay there unless they have
plenty of wealth to stand the reverses of
fortune which will surely overtake them
in the West The principal reverses are
1rowth, failure of crops from various
causes, and it is sure death to pork. One
nan alone lost III hogs that he had been
all he had.
Well, | have stretched this letter lit
lie longer than l intended, and must ask
your pardon for trespassing on your time
ind space. Respectfully,
FRED. A. BALLARD.

PROGRESS OF THE EXAMLNA TION
OF LOULSLANA'S RETURNING
BOARD.
BOARD.

WASHINGTON, January 29.-Mr. Little
field, one of the Clerks of the Louisiana
Returning Board, was examined to-day
by Morton's Committee, and was asked
the following questions; "Did the Board
or any member thereof, give directions to
clerks other than by written memoranda
concerning returns2" "Did any member
of the Board ask you to perform any duty
in relation to returns from any parish p
"Do you know, of your own knowledge or
information, of any instruction from a
member or members Of the Returning
Board conccr ming alteration of records as
they originally came to the Returning
Board2" "Did you tabulate or perform
any DUTY in connection with returns from
Vernon parish ?" "Did not somebody di-
rect you to change the vote of Vernon
parish.
The witness refused to answer all the
above questions, and he also refused to
answer the question whether the paper
shown to him was the original of the re.
turns from Vernon parish.
Odd you not abstract this paper
from the files of the Returning Board of
New Orleans?
Al did not.
Q-Doyou know how this paper came
hereP
Al do not.
The witness refused to answer whether
a change was directed by any member of
the Returning Board transferring the
Democratic vote to the Republican side,
and whether the change was not made
before the paper passed out of the hands
of the returning Board,
Testimony Of Another Clerk.
York A. Woodward, one of the clerks
of the Returning Board, testified that he
did not know of any instructions to the
clerks in relation to addition, tabulation
and compilation other than instructions
written on returns themselves, although
suggestions might have been made by
members ofthe Board He did not know,
by conversation or otherwise, ofthe pur-
pose, on the part of any members ofthe
Board or other leading officials connected
with the vote of having it come out in a
particular way. He could give no expla-
nation as to the change OF record of votes
in Vernon parish. H,s nt t.o

tilted that having received telegram in

COUNTING THE VOTE.

The law under which Congress pro-
ceeds to count the Electoral vote to-day
is carefully framed, and there cannot be
unnecessary delay once the business is
begun. The Senate and House assemble
in joint session, the President of the Sem
ate (Mr. Ferry presiding, at ten o'clock
a. M Each body having previously ap-
pointed two tellers, the presiding officer
proceeds to open the certificates of the
States, and all papers relating thereto,
calling the States in alphabetical order.
The tellers having read the certificates
and counted the votes, shall hand the re-
suit to the President, who will announce
it.
If there be but one certificate from
State, and any objection is made on its
reading, the objection shall be made con
cisely in writing and be signed by at
least one Senator and one Representa-
tive. The objection being so framed,
the Senate and House shall withdraw
and consider the objection. If the OBJ
lection is not sustained by the affirma-
tive vote of both houses it goes for moth
ing. The vote will then be counted.
1t is for the consideration of cases of
the States from which there is more than
one return that the Commission is crea-
ted. When the certificates and papers
from this class of States shall have been
opened and read, and objections made in
writing and without argument, all the pa
pers and objections are to be submitted
to the Commission of Arbitration, which
shall proceed to decide by majority of
votes whether aay and what votes from
such States are the votes provided for by
the Constitution of the United States"
On the reassembling of the two houses
this decision shall be submitted to them,
and unless objection is made over the
signatures of at least five Senators and
five Representatives, the counting of
votes shall proceed. But the case of
each State must be disposed of before
proceeding to the next in alphabetical
order. If the two houses concur in re-
versing the decision of the Commission,
it will not stand. The dissent of either
house is not sufficient
No debate is allowed in the joint ses-
sion. Objections are to be put in wri-
ting and submitted without argument,
and no questions are to be put by the
presiding officer except to either house
on motion to withdraw. The houses, in
separate session, are limited to two
hours debate, when the main question
shall be put. The speeches will have to
be short and sweet. When the Joint ses-
sion is organized it is not to be dissolved
till the count is completed, and no re-
cess is to be taken, except to consider OBJ
jections, as provided, and then not be-
yond 10 o'clock a, m, of the following
day.
The Commission is not limited as to
the time to be taken in deiberation upon
the questions submitted to its decision.
The work, once begun, must go on, and
there is a month in which to complete il.
1t is safe to presume that less than half
that time will be consumed for a ruling
in the case of Florida, for example, as to
The power to go behind the returns, will
govern in ether cases-the sole remain
ng question being, which of the returns
shall be counted.

THE conspiracy of the Mortons, Chan
dlers, Shermans, Camerons & Co., to
count in Hayes by their villainous plan
is broken, and worse disappointed set
Of political hucksters never was seen in
this or any other country. OF course
Grant was a necessary instrument and
the scheme was to ride over law, consti.
tuition and usage, with as little regard to
propriety and right as any set of unprin-
cipled revolutionists ever exhibited
Their plan was utterly at variance with
the Morton bill, and their utterances one
year ago only, and wholly unlike their
own twenty second joint rule under
which Republican Congresses acted in
1866 1860 andI873. But when did con.
spirators ever regard consistency? Their
own needs to accomplish their ends is
their only rule of action.
