The Electoral Commission.
JUICE MILLER's REPORTED STATEMENTS
CoNcERNING THE VoTE OF LOUISIANA.
From the st. Louis Republican.

From the st. Louis Republican,.
Judge Miller, of Iowa, one of the ablest
Justices of the United States Supreme Court,
and one of the members ofthc Electoral Com
mission of 1877 that awarded the Presidency
to its present tenant, has recently given an
explanation ofthat extraordinary award. 1t
is not formal and public statement; it is
only conversational one, but it may be ac-
cepted as the authorized vindication for the de-
cision. Judge Miller deals only with the
vote of Louisiana. He is reported as saying
that ''t was generally understood and be-
lieyed that on the popular vote as returned
in Louisiana the democratic Electors were
chosen by from 5000 to 10000 majority. 1t
was a matter of common report, and entitled
to all the belief that such statements usually
receive" Whether this democratic majority
was secured by intimidation or not is a ques-
ton he does not consider, as it did not enter
into the case before the commission. But
the Louisiana Returning Board, acting under
law which the State, acting under its ''sov-
ereign right" had authority to enact, reduced
the popular vote. Whether this was fair and
honest or not is another question, which the
Electoral Commission had nothing to do With :;
it was sufficient that it was lawful. "That
such authority should be conferred upon a
board of five men alone concerns the State of
Louisiana says Judge Miller. 1T might,
by its legislative enactment, have given it to
two, or to one man, and such an act would
have remained unchallenged under the Con
stitution and the laws. Having given it II
Returning Board, their decision was as final
as any act limited in the rights of a State
Whether the trust was honestly or dishonest
ly discharged, from their decision there was
no appeal, and neither under the Constitution
nor the laws OF Louisiana was there any rem
edy for alleged venality. The act of the
Louisiana Returning Board was State $
! right act in the supremest sense. The decis-
ions of the Electoral Commission were based
upon the sovereign right of State to lcgs-
late as it chooses on all matters expressly de-
clarcd by the Constitution. The result
reached by the majority was that the decision
of the State authority in the selection of
Presidential electors is, under the Constitu.
/ ton and laws. conclusive"

The Ohio Result.

From the New York Tribune.
This great victory must not be belittled by
assigning it to too narrow causes. 1t is not
nor Of any one man, however able and sin
cere. 1t is not the result of the Sherman
boom, nor of the Grant boom, nor of the
Blaine boom. All these currents in the cam.
one mighty cause has been the profound con
vction Of the people that the interests of the
country would not be safe for the next foul
years in democratic hands. They were
the one hand, the tendency of the controll
ing element in the democratic party toward
soft money, initiation and reputation theo
ries: and confronted. on the other, the ag.
gressiye insolenec of the Solid South.
The people of Ohio realized, perhaps for
the first time, how little aid the South needed
from its Northern allies to conquer the coun-
try, and how near We were to the rule of a
party which has repudiated $500, 900, 900 of
debts, which made the chief of infiationsts
its leader in this very campaign, which has
virtually abolished the ballot in at least six
States, and murders even women and chill
dren for the crime of republicanism
If Ohio voters have been repealed
from the democratic party by the sense
of danger both to the stability of
the finances and to the political liberty of
millions Of the citizens of the South, they
have been at the same time drawn toward the
republican party by powerful influences. Re
sumption was a republican achievement. The
revival of business was known to be the result
Of the republican financial policy The whole
country was aroused, and the old war feeling
named out again in resentment at the course
Of the Confederate Brigadiers in Congress
The vetoes of President Hayes and his recent
speeches, helped. The innate love of the
people for public honesty helped. The Amer-
can dislike TO seeing a man shot for his polit-
zeal opinions helped. Many things worked
together, and the result is splendid triumph
for the right.
II is victory great in itself, but vastly
greater iu its far-reacbing consequences. 1t
will give tremendous impetus to the repub-
lican cause in New York. Three weeks hence
the Empire State will have substantially the
same issue before it. She will render snb-
stantially the same verdict Let every re-
publican do his best in the time that remains
The republicans Of Ohio have put the infia-
ton and shotgun democracy TO flight Now
let the men Of New York rise in their might.

"Frightening IMvalids."

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt FASTENED the
death of many invalids, by depriving them OF
the consolation of hope Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theoriZe as they will, we have a mass of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms Of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhpa. night swcats, burning
fever, &c, have been permanently cured by
"Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup Of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy pre-
pared only by DIR. Swayne 4 Son, Philadel-
phia. Price % cents and 81 or six bottles

cal. Sold by all prominent druggists.

What then thought the Emperor Nap

Why, ween he thought it small delight
To fight all day and to freeze all night;
And he was beside in very great fright,
Fora whole skin he liked to be in;
And so, not knowing Whist else to do,
When the fields wercs so white, and the sky so

So the Devil may take the hindmost.
Too cold upen the road was he;
Too hot had he been in Moscow:
But colder and hotter he may be-
For the grave Is colder than Moscovy;
And place there is tn be kept in view,
Where the fire is red, and the birthstone blue,

He has recon'd too long without him;

But there he must stay very long day,
For from thence there is no stealing away,
As there was on the road from Moscow.
