Common Sense and Common Honesty.

THAT is the common sense view ex-
claims Hup'rs weakly, referring to the
view which would retain Mr. HAYES in the
White House. without regard TO the frauds
by which he was put there.
Can that ever be common sense which is
at variance with common honesty? Com
mon honesty demands that frauds sL0uld
Do exposed and defeated Can there he u
greater fraud than that which dcprives
free people OF their highest constitutional
privilego-of the right to elect their own
Chief MagistrateY
l. it only minor and private frauds that
are to bo looked into and STOPPED Are
gigantic frauds to be- couutenanccd and up-

The POTTER resolution. offered on Monday,
for an investigation of the frauds in Florida
md Louisiana, concerning which the state
of Maryland alleges that they deprived her
electoral vote for President and Ncc-prcsi-
den, in 1876 Of it, due effect, is still the UNI
finished business before the House The first
vote taken was on scconding the demand
for the previous question upon the rcsolu-
ilon. Repeating their tactics Of the day
before. the Republican members sat silent
In their seats, not answering when their
names were called; and there were even
fewer Democratic members present
and voting than on Monday. Only
III yeas were rccorded-lcss than a
quorum. Consequently IL was announced
thct the demand for the previous question
had not been seconded. 4 call Of the House
was at once ordered; il showed that 2ij
members were present in the Chamber and
by answering to their names the Republic
cans prevented the majority from taking
steps To compel the attendance Of absent
Democratic membcrs Another vote was
taken ON sccondng the demand for the pre-
Niuus question; ll3 members answered yea.
md one EUGENE HALE of Maine
voted nay. So the demand was not second
ed Seeing that Il was useless to prOtract
the struggle at that timc Mr.. FERNANDO
WOOD then moved an adjournment putting
his motion distinctly upon the ground that
the factious minority seemed fixed in their
purpose TO obstruct the pubic business. The
House adjourned accordingly. the Repubi-
can ilibu-tcrs chuckling over the continued
success of their tactics. and greeting the
call for Democratic caucus with jcering
laughter. Majorities may be thwarted for
a time by vcXatious obstruction. but they
generally carry out their purposes in the
long run.
In the Democratic caucus the consldora-
tion of the Senate proposition for a final adj
journmcnt OF the two Houses on June - was
postponed until May %; Il better course, in
the actual circumstance, would have been
Ia postpone it indefinitely Mr. WILSON Of
West Virginia was for letting the Rcpub-
lcans offer their amendment to the
POTTER resolution. but his motion to
that effect was voted down. Messrs.
YorNG Of Tennessee and HARRISON
Of Illinois wanted the caucus to
declare that it was not intended to disturb
HAYES title, but this the caucus wisely de-
not to permit any amendments to bc offered,
and 1t was unanimously agreed not to al
low any other business to bc transacted un-
I'll his resolution shall have been acted upon
by the House. II was further ordered that
all Democratic members absent from the
city be notified TO return, and that all pairs
be terminated as soon a possible. Lastly.
the Joint Committee were instructed FOR the
future to submit their decisions TO the eau
Gus for It's approval before acting upon
them.
The first thing in order to-day after the
reading Of the journal will be another vote
on scconding the demand for the proviou
question. II this demand is not seconded, u
will be- because ncn elected t. the House a.
Democrats are traitors to their party a.
well "a to their country.

Gov. RoBISsoS's veto OF certain items in
the Supply blu affords a fresh illustration of the
wisdom Of that provision in our amended Con-
stituton which authorizes the Executive to OBJ
lect to portions Of an appropriation bill while
approving Of the rest Of il. So admirably has
this provision worked In the interests Of purity
and economy in the expenditure of money by
the Legislature, that it is rather surprising that
a similar amendment has not been engrafted
upon tho Constitutions OF other States. Then.

President in the White House. how many mill

Let no one imagine that Mr.. ALvoRD or
the Republican majority In the Legislature re-
grcts that the Appointment bill was practi-
cally buried for the session yesterday in the
Assembly. Tho Conference Committee re-
ported in favor Of the Senate amendments,
which made the scandalous measure yet moro
unfair. and five Republicans voting in the neg
ntivc tho report was disagreed to. This has
been the programme from the first The Re-
publicans have not intended to make Il new ap-
portiOnmcnt for the reason that the existing un-
fair one suits them. Under it they are en-
abled to send Republican majority to the
Legislature. in n State that gives largo Demo-
cratic majoritics for Governor and Secretary.
Democratic Suffolk county for instance. with Il
population Of $1,000. has only one representa-
tive in the Lower House. while Republican 81.
Lawrence. with 81 O00. has three. The injustice
10 New York and Kings is yet more marked.

sonts 292. 25S persons. while Mr.. EDIcB tRcpub-
lean OF the Twentieth District represents So
600. These partisan advantages tho majority
have striven TO retain. oven though il has been

FAR APART.

Beneath the quaint old bridge you hear
The waves make music as they pass;
And, winding 90 the elm tree near
You see the pathway through the grass,
Where we were won't to walk, alas
The river wanders as of old,
Beneath the shade of willow trees;
The sunlit waters gleam like gold,
And nipple to the gentle breeze;
But l am far from thee and thesel
The sky bends over, broad and blue,
And in the soft and mellow light,
You tread the lane our footsteps knew
In f,,rmer days, when days were bright;
Do these days bring such sweet delight
And still that lane with grass is green.
With fragrant fieweIs the banks are fair
In golden gloss and silver sheen,
he bees still haunt the balmy air
But you will f4iI to find me there.
Again, peTcbanee, May not see
The rustliRg rows of willow trees,
Which lent leafy canopy
When we strolled underneath at ease;
For am far from thee and these.
Our joys forsake US. Soon does spring
Pass by and for the summer call;
Soon do the birds lose heart to sing,
When fading leaves ia autumn fall;
And winter is the end of all.
