made the pretext for taking from the peo-
pie their rightful choice for the Presiden-
cy and Vice. Presidency. These certificates
were declared by the tribunal to.which
Congress had abdicated the function Of de.
Gliding the count Of the disputed electoral
yotess,to be the absolute and indisputable
conveyance OF the title TO the chief magis.
tracy Of the nation. Florida, which had
united all her executive, legislative and
judicial places to testify to Congress long
before the count, who were her gen.
uine agents, which had by statute
caused re-canyass and the issue
OF new certificates and formal sovereign
Authorization OF the rights OF the true
elector to deposit votes entitled to be
counted, was held to be incapable, COM
municating to Congress fact which can
not now be disputed. Congress, though
vested by the Constitution with the au.
thority to count the electoral votes, though
unrestricted either as to the time when 1t
should receive evidence or as to the nature
OF that evidence, and though subject to no
appeal from its decision, was declared to
hayetno power to guide its own count by
any Information It could obtain, or by any
authority which 1t might accept from the
wronged and betrayed State whose vote
was about TO be falsifed.
THE MoSsrRous CONCLUSION
was thus reached that the act OF one hold
ing the deciding vote, in Board Of State
Canvassers (for without his concurrence
frauds OF other returning boards would
have failed), in giving certificates, known
at the time, and now BY himself confessed,
false and fraudulent, and confessed to
have obtained by promise Of Office, certi-
ficates whose character was known months
before Congress could begin and count,
must prevail over MI the remedial powers
Of the'state OF Florida and OF the Congress
ofthe United States combined, and must
dispose OF the Chief Magistrate OF this Re-
public. S. j. TILDES.

But VIC were obliged to has Ion on to reach the city, which we did early last evening We are to spend the day here, as this city has much of in- tertsst for the traveller. Glasgow, the commercial Capitol of Scotland, Is finely situated on the River Clyde. It contains about one-half million inhabitants, and has a large shipping interest. Next to Liverpool, 1t ranks In being one of the largest In the British Empire. Its great interest is iron. Here on the Clyde are built from year to year most of the line Ocean steamers that sails between Liverpool and New York. It was Il native or Glasgow, James Watts, that in 1773 hlst applied steam us Il motive power. On our arrival here we found 1t very cool and were glad to order fire in our rooms, which we have kept up while here. This Is in striking contrast to what we see tel egruphed from you, that the thermometer Is in the nineties. Our party here to-day visited the cathedral which ranks next to Westminster of England. Therein we found some beautiful memorials, among the number one to John Knox, the great reformer. This statue Is one of whom Scotland delights to honor. It is found in the ground of the cathedral, which wlth it's gravel walks, trees, shrubbery and flowers have more tie appearance of q magnificent garden than that of rest ing place for the dead. There are many other objects of interest in the place which we visited, but VIC have not time to refer. We leave this evening for Edin- burgh, where we hope to receive letters from home, also the BEE, which we have awaiting us at our bankers. We shall spend two days there and then proceed toLiverpool, and if we can arrange sat- isfactorily our business we shall cross over into Ireland, spending two days there, and leave Queenstown, Friday, Aug. 3Oth, steamer Britanic, for New York.

The Dark Lantern

II be true, Gsis alleged, that a political
party is being organized in portions Of the
country in the form of a secret and oath
bound society, it cannot be too soon known
nor too strongly condemned. In any coun-
try whore freedom of discussion exists,
where the press is not restrained and
limited by the exercise Of government sur
Vigilance, and where suffrage is practically
universal, no reasonable and even no
plausible excuse can be offered for the
formation Of oath-bound political organiza-
tons. The first step towards conspiracies
against government, the first efficient
movement for the extinguishment Of civil
and political liberty, can be traced to
societies and political associations of the
dark lantern order. 1t is of no conse-
quence whatever as to the pretended OBJ
jects which may be given forth to the
public as to what such a party intends to
accomplish, there is no certainty, and
from the nature of things there can be nc
certainty, that the avowed purpose is the
real one. Rather it is to be presumed
that the secret intent is wholly at variance
with the ostensible object. But even
upon the most favorable view, and
upon the supposition that such an
anti-republican political organization has
no ultenor and cryptic purpose known only
to the initiated, and probably only to {
portion of those, it still remains dangerous
in its character, reprehensible in its mode
Of operation, and to be denounced as ar
unworthy and improper method of attempt
ing to influence public measures and ac'
complish party ends. The man who 81
far forgets the dignity Of his manhood ant
yields his independence as freeman anC
voter to the dictation and imperiou
orders of secret council has gone Ions
ways towards becoming the serviceable
blind, and obedient tool of designing knaves
and of Inscriptions and ambitious leaders
The man who obligates himself to and will

and direction of the officers of his oath
bound organization, and promises to vet

or not they be such men as his judgemen

from the domination and comma nds of tn
leaders of his party, has lost the character
istics of a freeman, and lends himself to
despotism and political servility, to whic
the evils of ordinary party drill and di
cipline are in comparison as different an
as much more to be desired as freedom
preferable 10 slavery. Do the men WI
assembled in Killers Hall, in this city, q
last Saturday night, want repetition {

German Syrup"

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such test of its curative qualities
as Boschees German Syrup. In three
years two million four hundred thousand
small bottles of this medicine were dis
tributed free of charge by druggists in this
country to those afflicted with consumption,
asthma, Group, severe coughs, pneumonia
and other diseases of the throat and lungs
giving the American undeniable proof that
German Syrup will cure them. The re-
suit has been that druggists in every town
and village in the United States are re,
commenting them to their customers. GC
to your druggist, and ask what they know
about it. Sample bottles 10 cents
Regular size rs cents. Three doses vii
relieve any case.
