title"
That is INST our opinion, and il is
the basis Of our objection to the plan
commonly associated with the name Of
Mr.. Blair--though, We think, not
drawn by his hand-for constituting
the Supreme Court and a struck jury,
composed Of State officials, into a sort
Of commission to try the title to the
Office Of President. The way Of con-
stltutiag the tribunal makes ii rather a
commission than strictly a court The
proposed jury IL not n common law
jury, ADD TO call it u jury is to give n
popular name to what we apprchend
would be an unpopular body. There
is too much about the plan that is
n~ew-langled aud untried for il to con
mend itself TO the approval Of u peop.c
whose recent experience renders them
particularly dlslrusttul of novel ways
and speculative expcdients.
But the grand and conclusive Office
ton to it is that its cons,iiulionalitl
would be at least doubtful.
For these reasons our preference is
for an Investigation by n joint commit
tee of the two Houses. This could
not be opposed on any ground Of want
of precedent. Such All Investigation
would bring out all the facts, duly au.
thenlicated. The people would keep
pace with the proceedings OF the com
mittee. and would form IN intelligent
judgmen: of the merits OF the case.
The facts being made plain, the judy
ment Of Il seli-governing people would
almost inevitably be correct. Then il
would be for Congress. possessing the
constitutional authority, to act on the
report of the committee. We II no
more Electoral Commissions, o 9th
er commissions, ordinary or extraordi-
nary. Congress is sufficient.
Our esteemed contemporary is not
quite 40 confident that the result of an
Investigation would he satisfactory as
