In the view OF the Florida confession,
Congress IS bercft of every pretext for
longer delaying to take measures fora
reopening, in the courts, Of the Presi-
Dental question. The thieves them
selves who took the plumber are turn
ing States evidc nee. Shall the law
still protect them, Or the receiver of the
stolen goods, in the enjoyment thereof?
Shall the rightful owner be longer de-
barred from his own? We warn the
Democrats ofthe House Of Representa-
tives that the eyes Of the IA ton are
upon them, and that their Democrat C
constituents look to them to strike
quickly and vigorously for a recti6ca :
ton of the great wrong done the Demo-
cratic party and tn cause Of popular
governm ent in the settlement Of the
Presidential controversy. A title
founded on fraud is house built on the
sand. The sooner il is wcptaway and
a new title is moored in the rock, the
better for the country, the safer for the
preservation of our liberties. Let us
hear from Proctor Knott and his Com
mittee OF the Judiciary.-Syaease Cca-

The Tax on Compensation Of The Su'
preme Court.

In the Supreme Court OF Appeals
Judge Christian made the following
announcement:
In the case OF Hartman VS.. Green
how, treasurer. the president OF the
court was so situatedaS in his opinion
TO make it improper for him TO sit on the
case; it was consequently argued before
. court Of four judges.
The question so deliberately and ably
argued at the bar was upon q petition
for q mandamus.
Hartman, being taxpayer reading
in the city Of Richmond, rendered to
Greenhow, the City treasurer, in pay
ment Of his State taxes, a coupon Tor
$50 cut from a bond Of the State Of Nlr-
ginia. but Of which Hartman was not
the holder. GreenhOw refused to re-
Seive this coupon at its iace-value. but
insisted upon deducting there-irom the
tax prescribed by the act Of Assembly
and thereupon Hartman applied to this
court for madamUs. A rule was issued
by this Court against Greenhow, the
City Treasurer, to show cause why a
uondamus should not be awarded. An
answer to the rule was filed for Green
hsw by the Attorney-General. Upon
this rule and answer the case was argu-
ed. The Court has considered the case
with that elaboration which the gravi-
" OF the question demanded. | have
now to annoucc that the Court stands
equally dividcd-Judscs Staples and
Burks being Of opinion that the mand0-
0aus should he refused; Judge Anderson
and myself being OF opinion that per-
smptory mdn1e0qs should be awarded.
The result - that by divided Court the
rsle must be discharged. and such will
,. entered a. the Judgment ef the
Court.
general rule Of this Court that
where the Court is equally divided no
opinion j. written or hlcd with the re-
cord. but the questions involved in this
case are Of such grave public Importance
each of the judges reserves the right to
writ, ont aud file with the record his
respective views.
In consequence Of this position fthe
court the collectors throughout the
Commonwealth will contiaue to deduct
the tax.

\ case Of the most revolving creuelty
has Just been developed in New York,
the wlckodest city in the world. On
Friday a little blind girl was brought in
to Court with every indication that her
blindness had been caused by violent
means, for the purpose Of using her as a
beggar. The little unfortunate was
found in the keeping ola vile Italian
heggar. The details Of the case as de-
yeloped thrill the blood with horror, and
it would seem Incredible that such
things could be but that it was shown
there were similar cases on record 1t
appeared that the little enc had been
blinded with AIRED hot poker.

GuiIly by Confession

The story Of the heinous crime by
which Mr. Hayes was made President OF
the United States is now being told by
those who knew it all and committed a
great part Of it. We print a patch OF
startling confessions in tO-day'S sun.
They relate to the fraudulent return OF
the vote of Florida in favor Of Mr..
Haye, when it belonged to Mr.. Tilden.
An effort Is made to disparase the
value sfthese confessions by assaling
the motives of those making them. The
motives ofthese men is matter OF Sc
condsry importance, which but little
concerns anybody but themsclyes-a
matter mainly between them and their
Maker. If we should refuse TO reco9-
aizs and punish crime except when
proved from exalted motives, pirates,
burglars. and murdtrers might often go
scot free.
There is but one question Of any sig
nifcance, and that, is, Are The confess
sisns tru;
Ifthey are true, we have in the Office
Of President a man placed there by
frauds to which he was consenting
and an active party.
There is good reason to believe the
confessions to be true. They are album
dainty confirmed by other evidence. 1t
i. hardly possible for them to be untrue.
The frauds alleged arc true. There
is no room for reasonable doubt Of
this.
Was Hayes party to them
Judge McLin, who knows, is clearly
Of opinion that he was. It is lmpossl-
bic 10 believe that Mr. NoycS, the
leading promoter Of these frauds, and
the ri.ht-hsnd man OF Hayes. acted
without Hayes full knowledge and ap-
probation Of what was being Gohe.-
Hayes vas N realiiyas guilty as Noyes.
IfHayes was innocent his first act after
the discovery Of the crime would be 10
resign. Ifhc IS willing to retain an Of
fee acquired by fraud. he was wiling to
acquire the same Office fraudulently.-
For him - hold on in the face Of these
confessions is in effect for lin to plead
guilty.
Its Of no Use for any one to deny
any longer that we have an incumbent
Of the highest Office who has no right
there. Under these circumstances the
question arises whether this state Is
represented in the national Legislature /;
and fit is, whether we have a member
of either House who is not blind, or
deaf, or dumb;
If we have such a man in the Senate
or in tie House Of Representatives, 1t
70 time he should be heard from.-N.

The goods were stolen. Hayes knows
It. He has possession Of them. In fact
they were stolen expressly for him.-
More than this, he sent men for the ve-
ry purposc ofstealing them. Is not the
receiver, lhen, as bad as the thief? And
when the thief confesses and would fain
make restitution if he could, but the
receiver refuses TO surrender the plum
der, is he not worse than the thief -
