The Question Not Settled.

Eminent lawyers differ in their views Of
the effect of the decision of the Electoral
Commission. Some hold that it was a
final settlement of the Presidential qucs-
ton and that no renewed agitation of the
subject can affect the tenure of the present
incumbent. Others contend that the power
and authority to count the vote belongs to
Congress, that Congress could not delegate
that authority to another tribunal, no such
power existing in the Constitution. That
although Congress created the Electoral
Commission, the Commission did not fulfil
its duty under the law, and that even if
it had carried out the provisions of the law
to the fullest extent, the law itself provides
for the review Of the decision of the Com
mission in court. They hold, therefore,
that the case is still open to review; that
neither Congress nor the Electoral Com
mission did their duty in the premises,
that the most positive evidence of fraud
is now before the country and may be ad-
duced either in Congress or in the Courts;
that fraud taints and vitiates al that it
touches, and no decision resting upon
fraud, or which fraud underlies, can be
regarded as valid.

The Great Fraud.

IL it be true that the decision of the
Electoral Commission is a finality aud can
not be disturbed either by the action Of
Congress or by process of quo toarydato in
fhe Supreme Court, there is one way by
which his frauduiency can be reached, if
proof can be adduced of his completely in
the electoral frauds in Louisiana and Flo
rida, aud that is by Impeachment. Cir
eumstantial evidence is very strong against
hin, and it is believed and alleged thsG lie
had guilty knowledge Of the matter, and
made certain promises to the active agents
in these frauds, or 10 their friends and re-
personalities, to the effect that he would
reward them with Office, all Of which pro-
snises he has fulfilled An the members
of tbs Louisiana and Florida Returning
Boards have been provided for. This fact
alone is straDg presumptivo evidence Of
his guilt But it Is believed that positive
evidence can be adaaeed If so his i'm
parchment would be assured, and the Chief
Aagistracy purged of its ]rapdpIent in
cuHbent.

long statement of John f. Mines in the New

his letter in the same paper last Saturday.
Senator Conkling should feel it compulsory
to stand up in his place in the Senate and
either emphatically repudiate his asserted
knowledge about the electoral votes of Lou
lslana and Florida, or give the weight of his
knowledge and influence to the most thorough
investigation of them. The New York Sena-
tor IS in such position that he can affect no
disdain of the matter. He is charged with
a full knowledge of evidence sufficient to
convict the President, Secretary Sherman,
Senator Stanley Matthews, and others OF
prominence, of personal completely in secur-
ing the votes of Louisiana for Mr.. Hayes In
the most infamous way. Mr.. Mines, who
makes the statements, is evidently "no

personal character to strengthen his position,

WHAT SHOULD HAYES Do?-Nelc York
Sun.-lt is impossible to believe that Mr..
NGyes, the leading promoter of these frauds,
and the right-hand man of Hayes, acted with
out Hayes full knowledge and appreciation
of what was being done. Hayes was in real.
ity as guilty as Moves. If Hayes was limo.
cent his first act after the discovery of the
crime would be to resign. If he is willing to
retain an Office acquired by fraud he was
willing to acquire the same office fraudulently.
For him to hold on in the face of these con
LESSONS is in effect for him to plead guilty.

PACKARD GONE HoNE MAD.-A special dis
patch to the n. y. World dated Washington.
April 80, says "A serious difference has
been outcropping during the past few weeks
between Ex-Governor Packard and Senator
Kellogg, Of Louisiana, on the one hand. and
Messrs. Wells and Anderson, Of the Return
ing Board, on the other, over the Federal an
pointments in that State. Packard has gone
home much dishearteued and indignant over
the treatment he has received here. As the
result OF this the anti Hayes Republicans are
intimating that there will be soon revelations
from Louisiana which will far exceed the
Florida confessions. Packard is said to be
possessed OF important secrets regarding the
doings of the Returning Board, and more i'm.
portant ones as to the way the result of the
Louisiana Commission was secured. Gen.
Butler has been investigating too latter, it is
said, for the benefit Of Wayne McVeagh, of
Pennsylvania, member of the commission.

Destructive Hail Storms.

The fall Of hail On Friday. Saturday and
Sunday last, in some places YES very heavy,
causing much loss to wheat, vegetables and
frait. We give the following summary:
A dispatch from Canterbury, Kent county,
Delaware, states that violent rain and hail
storm visited that locality 0n Monday after
noon. At Canterbury the store building OF
&. c. CoOlbaugh was struck and badly dam
aged, and the depot was slightly damaged.
VIM. Morris. railroad traekman was knock
ed down and rendered senseless for several
hours. The hail fell in torrents, the stones
varying from the size of peas 10 that of very
large marbles. In short time the ground
was covered nearly a foot deep with the
frozen rain, and ON Monday morning even
vas banked up in some places two feet
deep. The storm was entirely local. only
extending within a radius of a mile and
half Il is probable that all of the fruit
within the hail-stoTRl limit has been entirely
destroyed, aud the gEasa very materially
damaged.
AdSices from crisfeld, Md, saate that on
Sunday night a storm something simiiaF &C
CURED there, the hail entirely running the
early peas and other vegetables, but Il did
got extend very far. The ground on Mon.
day VS. covered with hail foot thick.
lnformaticp from Gloucester and Middle
sex counties, virginia, is to the effect that
disastrous hail-storms h2ye visited those
counties, inhicting great damage e the grow
ing crops.
At Bethlehem, Caroline county, Nd, dur
ing the gust on Sunday afternoon, hailstones
Cell as large as English E2lnuts. The ground
was covered with hail after the storm As
there was Lille wind, the damage Of crops
Was not great.
Ga Sunday in Montgomery county, Md.
the storm was Of unusual severity Wheat
fields were moved down, many of which will
not produce as zach as was seeded, fruit
trees stripped, fences blown down and trees
torn up, while the hail lay ia great heaps
where 1t had been washed Mr.. SiableT,
President of the Montgomery Fire Insurance
Company, says the loss was caused by the
vast quantity of hail that fell; for / did not
observe much, II any, over one inch in diam
eter, and generally not larger than chestnuts.

life of eighty-four years have ] seen the
