4 Dem.er.uo rre.,aea. o.rs.,.

The HERALD declines to be brow
beaten by the Republican press. q
brow-beating proposition which Is
founded on the fact that certain
Republican States this year re-
turned a popular Republican ver-
dict. Our own party won the
Presidential election OF 1876, al
though 1t was cheated out of the
real result by succession of cap
per and gambler experiments and
sxpedients which ought to involve
the extinction of the hitherto re-
spectacle Republican party.
Through the aid Of John Kelly,
who received upwards Of eighty
thousand Democratic votes, the
Republicans appear to have elected
their Governor in New York by q
respectable majority. But, maugre
this apparent result, there is not q
Republican who has attained his
personal majority In the United
States, and who is outside Of q lun-
alto asylum, who does not know
that, If John Kelly had been doing
bis duty as Democrat, Gov. Rob-
inson would have been elected Gov
srncr OF New York over Cornell by
ct least forty thousand majority.
We have lost New York this
year through causes which will not
operate next year. Kelly, in his
maddest moments, would not think
Of running a Kelly electoral ticket.
Waving this view Of the matter,
Kelly, Democratic traitor decis-
lively defeated, don't really amount
to "deuce aces" in national poll
tics. 1t is now seen that this fell
low played the part Of Republi-
can stool-pigeon; and he, and his
friends, would scarcely number
nifty votes in a poll of the two na-
tional parties. AS Mr.. Tilden has
periodically announced that he is
not o candidate, the New York ele-
ment of revolt In the Democratic
party is not to be regarded here
after.
With Horatio Seymour or Gen.
Mcclellan, or Bayard; or, we shall
venture to say, Tilden, as the DEM
ocratic candidate for President OF
the United States, on the supposi-
tion that any Of these gentlemen
can carry New York, the party, in
addition to the "Solid South, y
which expression involves a total
Of 1873 electoral votes, will only need
two electoral votes to be success
full. AS we run loyal and staunch
Democratic paper, we say here, as
we have said always, that Tilden,
despite his patriotic Indifference,
should be the next nominee. We
believe that he could carry New
York by majority ranging be-
tween his lowest and highest trl-
umph, Is q nominee Of that State.
Should Tilden be forced to accept
the nomination, by legitimate
enthusiasm OF his followers, he
would carry the "Solid South" and
New York, which would of them
selves give him one hundred and
sighty-three electoral votes. This
would leave him two votes of lack
ing . majority of the electoral
colleges. To recruit these two votes
the Democratic nominee would
have New Jersey, Connecticut,
Nevada, Oregon and California
twenty-four votes-every one OF
which he would be likely to get, and
which would leave him President
by . handsome majority of the
electoral colleges.

A RGGHTEoUs DEcIsyoN.--The Su-
preme Court of the United States has
rendered in the whisky cases one of the
best decisions on It's calendar. The suits
were te recover double taxes and enforce
forfeitures upon various Quantities of dis
titled spirits for violation Of the Internal
revenue laws. The defense set up was
based upon an alleged agreement, made
by the owners OF the spirits with the
District Attorney, guaranteeing to the
former immupity from lprosecutlQn if
they, would plead guilty and furn ish evie
dence 10 convict their accomplices. The
Supreme Court holds that the District
Attorney has no authority to make such
agreement, and that when an sccompiice
discloses the guilt Of b imse1f and his as7
sociates he merely establishes an equt-
able title to the mercy Of the Executive
and can. ask the Court only fer the, post =
ponement of his trial in order to give him
time to make an application for pardon,
The decision Of the lower Court is there,
fore reversed, and the causes rcnlanded
for further proceedings in conformity
thereto. Too many scoundrels escape the
justice of the law through This game Of
turning States evidence, when sufficient
proof is already st hand even without
their story, and this decision will meet
with the approval ofal thinking people.

ABOUT REGISTRATION.

The following circdlar letter, which
fully explains itself, will probably re-
ceive attention at the hands of our Board
otSupervisors at the Special Meeting
on Monday next: ~
SACRAMENTO, April 7, 1879.
To the Honorable the Board OF Super
visors ot--county:
The law which provided FOR the calling
Of the Constitutional Convention provides
also for the submission of the C0nstitu-
tion which the Convention framed to a
vote of the people on the 7th day of May
ensuing. /: also makes all persons who
were entitled to vote for delegates to the
Convention voters at such election. In
another section, it made all persons who
were by law entitled to vote for members
of the Assembly voters at the election for
delegates. 1t is, therefore, clearly the
right Of all persons to vote at the cleo
tion for the adoption or rejection of the
Constitution who would be qualified to
vote for membsrs of the Assembly.
While there can be no question as to
the right OF all such persons to vote, there
is some doubt as to whether the election
laws, construed strictly and literally,
would secure TO all the exercise Of that
right. An Act entitled An Act con
cerning special eectiens," approved
February 8, 1878, provides that, at spe-
cial elections, copies of the Great Regis
ter, printed before, and used at, the last
preceding general election, shall be used.
Section i,227 Of the Political Code, as
amended by an Act approved March 80,
hat huD hA
allowed to vote tChOSe name is not on The
register an use at the 7recinct." The
effect OF the amendment to this section to
prevent all voting on certificates, and to
restrict the right to vote TO those whose
names actually appear on the printed
register in use Mt the polls.
Az the election to be held on the 9TH
proximo the printed register in use viii
be the ono printed in August, 1877, and
will contain only the uncanceled nam es
on the Great Register OF the county on
the lst day of August of that year. 1t is
plain, that to so construe the law es not
10 allow any persons TO vote whose names
are not on tho Great Register, made up
twenty months before, would deprive
many citizens Of their constitutional right
of suffrage.
i nat tnls great wrong may not ne done
to citizens through a too strict and teeh-
nical construction of the law, which
should be as careful to protect those who
are qualified in their right 10 vote as to
prevent those who are not qualified from
voting, we respectfully advise that you
cause a Supplement Register to be print
ed, which shall contain all the uncancel~
ed names and other entries on the Great
Register of the county, which were pac-
ed there subsequently, TO the 1st dav Of
August, 1877, and prior 20 the day on
which ven may deem it necessary tor
such Supplement Register to be placed in
the hands of the printer; and that you
cause copies Of this Supplemental Regis
ter to be furnished to officers of elec ton,
as copies of the Great Register are fur
nished to such officers in pursuance Of
law. Very respectfully yours,
WILLIAM IRWIN, Governor.
