COUNTING the VOTES.
EDMUNDs' BILL.

speclal Di5Patcn 10 tne 4TiUune
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Senator Ed
munds. impressed during the sessions
of the Electoral Commission with the
necessity for more definite legislation
regulating the counting of the votes
for President and Vice President, had
a select committee appointed by the
Senate at its last session to take into
consideration the state of the law on
the subject, and to report what addi-
tionai legislation might, In their opin-
ion, be found necessary. A bill was
accordingly framed by the committee
and reported at the last session OF
Congress, and to-day Senator Ed
munds called 1t up. He explained
with great clearness the provisions OF
the bill, and, without making long,
set speech, showed the eminent neces-
sitd for its passage. Tomorrow, Sem
ator Morgan, Of Alabama, demo-
ocratic member of the Committee,
will also urge the enactment of the
bill, and he will probably be followed
by Senator Bayard, another demo-
cratic member Of the Committee, who
supports the bill. 1t Is not even GER
tain that Senator Thurman, who was
also of the Committee, will oppose
the bill in the Senate, and It's passage
in that body may be regarded as GER
tain, although several democratic
Senators may not vote for 1t; but it is
hardly probable that the democratic
House will pass that or any other
measure which takes from Congress
full power over the Presidential elec-
ton. The year 1880 is at hand, and,
as the democrats will then have full
control of both the Senate and the
House Of Representatives, the present
democratic House will hardly consent
to any legislation now by which their
party may suffer then. The country,
which does not want a repetition of
the trouble CT 1876, would prefer such
d legal adjustment of disputed powers
as is found in the bill broughtforw
by Senator Edmunds to-day.

A Composition on Tobacco.

The small boy, who began his at.
ternpts at composition by the follow
ing brilliant essay, will make IA
mous writer some day, II he contin-
ues to do his best. His prospects are
hopeful:
Tobacco grows something like cab
bages: but l never saw none Of 1t
boiled, although I have eaten boiled
cabbage and vinegar on 1t. and have
heard men say the cigars that was
given to them on election days, for
nothing, was cabbage leaves.
Tobacco stores arc mostly kept by
wooden Injuns. who stand at the
door, and try to fool little boys, by
Offering them q bunch of cigars,
which 10 glued into the Injun's hands,
and is made of wood also.
Hogs do not like tobacco-neither
do I. Tobacco was invented by .
man named Walter Raleigh. When
the people first saw him smoking, they
thought he was steamboat, and as
they had never seen steamboat, they
were frightened.
My sister Nancy is a girl, or lady.
| don't know whether she likes to-
bacco or not There is . young man
by the name of Leroy who comes to
see her. Iguess she likes Leroy. He
was standing on the steps one night.
and he had cigar in his mouth, and
he said he didn't know a. she would
like 1t, and she said, LEROY. that per-
tune is agreeable" But the next
morning, when my big brother Tom
lighted his pipe, Nancy said, "Get out
of the house, you horrid creature ;
the smell of tobacco makes me sick. y

bacco. took little snuff once, and

New YoRK, Dec. 13.-Dr. Brad

of Sarah Victoria Conner, by NAL
practice, was taken to the court of
general sessions to-day for sentence.
His counsels made . futile appeal for
. new trial, ON legal points, and on
the ground of newly discovered evil
dence. DR.. Bradford then addressed
the court, protesting his innocence
and narrating the manner in which
he discovered his new evidence. He
said while in the Toombs . young
woman visited him and remarked
that she had some little things be-
longing to Vicky Conners. He close
ly questioned her and che admitted

girl. At this point . woman arose In
the court and exclaimed: at 10 all

Christ that lam guilty and that man

her way to the side Of Bradford and
gave the details Of the crime. She
stated that It was only after continu-

that she consented to perform the op.
eration, receiving therefor 0.00.-

THE st, PAUL

SpeCiAl DlspRicH 70 the tribune.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. Sit is
we'll known that, during the last sea-
son, there has been the germ of a war
existing between the Northwestern
and st. Paul Roads, on account of the
construction of new short lines by the
former company into territory claim
ed by the latter, especially in Mime
sofa, and it was believed that the re-
suit would be a conflict of considera-
bic magnitude between them, to the
injury of both companies; but it has
transpired that the principal officers
Of the two companies had meeting
quite recently, In which all causes OF
difference were considered, and per-
feet harmony restored, all conflicting
interests arranged, and mutual plans
of business adopted. The former
pooling contracts at the principal COM
peting points were renewed, and
plans to increase business and to pre-
serve rates were formed. The last
week in November of the st. Paul
Road shows earnings largely In excess
of the corresponding week of last
year, and prospects for increased
earnings for the balance of the year
are good. Large purchases of st.
Paul stock have been made here since
the price was above 20 for preferred,
and the shorts, who covered and went
on the long side, have partly made
up their losses.

in the future. Mr.. Edmunds said he
understood Lamar to warn New Eng.
land congressman that they were
overturning the constitution in insti-
eating an inquiry into violation OF
the rights of any part Of the people Of
the states. In other words, that they
had no right to stand up for the con-
stitution and run the risk Of reducing
themselves to servitude.
Mr.. Lamar protested that he SIM
ply showed that the prosecution Of
the line Of argument thrown out by
Blaine, would lead to an inquiry into
the system and genius Of the govern
ment upon which the Amecican fab
ric rests, that would condemn II, aud
Edmunds said the senator had mis-.
taken what Blaine stated and did not
his point which was that
a small number of men in the south
had, by grossly violating the consti-
tuition, taken to themselves the power
Of . large number. Granting that
the statements were true, Of course
Lamar would be glad to rectify the
fraud. Why, then, say It will over
turn the constitution to Investigate
into the truth Of these charges2 He

England runs,

mission of the grossest outrages and
the defense of these outrages by Thur
man and Lamar only tends to black
en- still deeper the infamy of the DEM
ocratic party. While the outrages
rested with the democrats of the
South the infamy was more particu-
larly their own, but when a defense
of them is made by Thurman, the
spokesman of the Senate democratic
caucus. and a leading probable can
didate for President, then the whole
democratic party become the pack
horse of the infamous burden. AL
len G. Thurman will never travel
well with that load. 1t was, howev-
er, o load we expected he would
shoulder. It is characteristic of him
to do so. During the rebellion his
home, upon his invitation, was made
a most hospitable Mecca for rebel
prisoners Of war; SO much so, that 1t
became remarkably offensive to Union
people. No invitations were extend
ed by him to Union officers.
Thurman was by instinct copper
head--he has never changed his spots.
In the days of slavery the South
had congressional representation for
three fifths of their slaves. Now, as
Blaine plainly shows, they get rep
resentation for the entire colored race
and the whites do the voting and de-
what that representation
shall be. This is the crack of the old
shareholders whip and, as of old,
Thurman and his party play the

PERHAPS the New York World is
the chief sachem among democratic
papers in the United States. Of 1880
politics 1t says it is encouraged to
believe that Mr.. Bayard will be the
democratic candidate for President In
1880, and that his opponent will be
General Grant. It trusts that the
democrats will adopt the New York
platform Of "gold and silver coins
and paper convertible into coin at the
will of the holder, the only currency
OF the country" This condition of
things, 1t declares, would give Bayard
the votes OF Connecticut, New York,
and New Jersey, as well as those of a
s'solid South"

Ex-CoNFEDERATE Gen. Chambers,
of Fort Pillow fame is the democrat
ic member who succeeded under the
Mississippi bulldozing and fraudulent
plan in being elected to Congress in
a district that is republican by twen-
ty thousand on a fair vote. He has
recently introduced the following bill,
which may be styled a real confeder-
ate democratic measure:
Be Il enacted, etc., That no officer,
agent, or contractor, or other person
holding office or employment oftrust
or profit under the Constitutional aud
laws of the United States Of Ameri-
ca, shall, or by the use or abuse of any
official privilege or function, or by
threats and menaceS, or in any other
manner, intermeddle with the cleo
ton of any member or members of
either house Of Congress, or of the
President or Vice President of the
United States of America; and every
such officer or other person offending
therein shall be held guilty of high
misdemeanOr, and, on conviction
tneTeOI IN any court OF the United
States having jurisdiction thereof,
shall be removed from such office or
employment, and fined in sum not
exceeding $1,000; and that all laws
and parts Of laws in conflict with this
act be, and the same are, hereby re-
pealed.
SEC. 2. That any person who shall,
by solicitation or otherwise, attempt
to induce any officer or person hold
ing an employment of profit or trust
under the United States to contribute
money or any valuable thing, to be
used for election purposes in any elec-
ton enumerated in this act, shall be
held guilty of a high misdemeanor,
and, on conviction thereof In any
court of the United States having ju-
risdiction thereof, shall be fined In q
sum not exceeding 81 1000.

RAlNEY AND 8MAIlS.
WILL THEY BE CNsEATED?


WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Messrs. Raj
ney and Smalls, the colored Congress-
men from South Carolina, whose seats
are contested, both remarked to-day
that they believed an attempt would
be mad to unseat them before the end
of the present week. The Committee
ON Elections has decided by strict
party vote that the election In South
Carolina in 1915 was illegal, on &C.
count Of the interference of troops,
and they are therefore not entitled to
seats, but even such partisans as
Springer did not have the aulacity
to hold that their democratic oppo-
nents were elected, but recommend
that new election be had by the
people. I'm case the House adopts
their recommendations an election
could not be held 80 as to allow the
successful candidates to act for more
than few days with this Congress,
but snch action would give them pay
and mileage for the session. II is
doubted whether sufficient democrats
can be obtained to vote for this scan
daloua report to unseat Rainey and
SmAlle.

THERE was q State Greenback
gathering at Des Moines on the 18th
inst. Gillette, Weaver, Hoggatt, P.
p. Ingalls, and Welch, of Bloomfield,
and others, were speakers. The Court
House was comfortably filed In the
evening to hear the speeches. The
programme, as announced by Weaver
and Gillette, was war on the nation
al banks and for silver. Fiatism and
communism were to be dropped. We
gather from what the State Register
says Of the speeches that Gillette and
Weaver are paving their way into the
democratic party. The Register says:
Gillette and Weaver, in theirspeech-
90 at the Court House last night, did
not tell how they are going to get out
Of going into the democratic caucus.
The speeches of these gentlemen and
others last night indicate that the
whole Greenback campaign hereafter
Il to be turned into q war on the ma
tonal banks.
Both Gillette and Weaver empha-
died the necessity for organization Of
clubs In neighborhoods. Ifthis thing
Of secret political organization is to
be pushed further we notify our re.
publican friends that at the prope,
time 1t will have to be met with vigo,
on their part. It is probable that II

MorAsLE DEBATE.


The debate In the U. 8. Senate, of
the 18th inst, on the election investi-
CATION resolution of Senator Blaine,
we predict will mark an epoch In the
current political history of the nation
for years to come.
The hall, the gallery and corridors
OF the Senate were crowded to their
utmost capacity to hear it.
Blaine in the Senate is not Blaine
in the House. In this regard many
Of the spectators were disappointed.
The fame Of Blaine is intimately as
sociatsd with that great effort In the
House In the winter of 1876, In q con-
teat with the ex-rebel hosts, when he
appeared like q thunderbolt dashing
into the midst of his opponents.
In this effort he had carefully pre-.
pared argument which he read most.

occasionally did he, for a paragraph

THE Saturday Revie,c, leading
journal of England, says:

THE Saturday 1Iertetc, leading
journal of England, says:
Hence it has come to pass that al
though in the thirty years more than
$50 millions sterling of gold (s2, ,750,-
O00, ,000) are estimated to have been
extracted from the worlds mines,
there is felt an actual scarcity of the
metal. The purchase of 70 millions
1850, ,0O0, ,0OO) by Germany for coinage
has brought trouble into every money
market in Europe. And the prepar-
ations of the United States at this
moment for resumption are also caus-
ing perturbation.
The $3.50, ,O0O,O of gold purchased
by Germany has also thrown on the
market about the same amount Of sill
yer. The Revie,c goes on to say that
these disturbing causes In the volume
of money have greatly affected val
ues, and as a consequence have trench
ed upon the prosperity of manufac-
turing and all branches of business.
In turn, too, the perturbations caused
in business circles has lessened prog
ress and the employment of labor.
So the laborer and artisan has been
unable to get his usual employment
and wages, and this in turn has nec-
essarily reduced the consumption of
products and SO reached the farmer.
We cannot avoid the conclusion In
our own mind that throughout the
civilized world the cause for the close
ness of times has in part, and no small
part either, been produced by the at.
tempt to demonetize one of the pre-
cious metals.

The proposition for the free coin
age Of the silver dollar will be found,
upon careful consideration, to involve
an absurdity. A law providing for
free coinage would enable the holders
Of bullion to have eighty-three cents
worth coined into dollar, making a
clear profit on every coin of about IA
cents. Instead Of the Governments
making profit on the coinage, as at
present, private spectators would
make 1t. 1t Is better for all the peo-
ple-the Government--to get the adj
vantage Of the transaction than to put
1t In the hands of a few men. Let
silver be purchased for coinage at
present and until some step be taken
to relieve the present embarrassment.

A STRONG case for the unseating Of
Butler as United States Senator from
South Carolina is made out sn the re-
port of Senator Cameron, of Wiscon-
sin, representing the views of the ma
jority of the Senate Committee on
Elections. It Is shown that Corbin's
election was valid as the act of a quo
rum of the legal Legislature, while
the body which assumed to elect But
ler had not legal quorum and was
not legal body. In the light ofsuch
facts 1t is expected that the republic
ans of the Senate will vote to sustain
the position taken by the committee
and unseat Butler.
