now try to vitiate presidential elections had not
been invented. 1t is an unpleasant truth to
contemplate, but the probability of fraudulent
objections to an electoral vote is tenfOld greater
now than it was ten years ago, and the chance
that the present Congress would decide sucn
objections upon other than purely partisan con-
sideratons is almost infinitely small.
If we would realize what the caucus resolu-
ton means we must call to mind the character
of the objections which the Democrats raised to
some of the electoral votes in 1877. They at
tempted to throw out the vote Of Mr.. Hum
phreys in Florida because he had been United
States shipping commissioner. 1t was proved
that he resigned that Office month before the
November election; his resignation was i'm
medately accepted by the Judge of the United
States Circuit Court and another person was
assigned to the duties of the vacant place.
Nevertheless the Democratic counsel before the
Electoral Commission insisted that the vote
ought to be excluded, because the acceptance OF
Mr.. Humphreys resignation by Judge Woods
appeared to be the act of m individual, and
@not the act Of the COurtw If this absurd pre-
text had been admitted Mr.. Tilden would have
been made President. Trivial objections to the
eligibility of Republican electors in Michigan,
Nevada, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wiscon-
SIM or to the regularity Of certain appointments
to fill vacancies, were warmly debated in the
Senate and the House and everybody remem-
brrs what happened in Oregon, when sham
electoral college was set up with money fur
nished by Colonel PeltOn, for the purpose OF de-
feating the admitted wishes of the people of the
State. The whole Democratic party fought tooth
and nail for that piece of chicanery; and if the
joint resolution now proposed had then been in
force, with O Democratic majority in both houses,
Cronin and GObble," with the aid of Pelton's
S., 900, would have chosen the President of the
United States.
No reasonable being doubts that the same
tactics will be pursued again. The prepare
tons are plainly visible. 1t would not surprise
us much to hear even of the appointment of q
Democratic electoral college in Maine by
Governor GarcelOn's bogus Legislature resus-
citated for the OCCASION. If the Republicans
should carry any Southern State it IS certain
that competing colleges would be organized
and double sets of returns transmitted to Wash
ington. The people cannot be too careful IN
watching tho development Of the plot. The
Democratic party is determined to steal the
Presidency if it cannot win it; and it has nearly
made up it's mind that itcannot win.

According to the old rhyme, it is the "cold, wet
May" which fills the barns with grain and hay.'
and so far May this year has been anything but cold
and wet. Tho sudden burst of foliage during the
past ten days would seem to indicate that the trees
have no complaint to file against the weather, but
in many respects it has been trying time for tender
vegetation. The arid winds have licked up every
particle Of moisture from recently worked soils and
the thrcad-liko roots of seeds just terminating
roots which have not had time to take hold of the
firm damp earth below the surfacc-are already
shrivcing Tho transplaned stock Of florists and
market gardeners has suffered little for these people
have learned by bitter experience the need of COM
pacting tho soil as q prophylactio against these
early drouths. But amateurs who shrink from what
looks like tho cruelty of treadng herOically on
their tender plants and seeds, are mourning over
the devastation Of their gardens. drOuth in May
is most untimely If tho young clover is to be
saved from pcrlshing outright and the product of
the pastures is to keep in advance Of the eager
cropping of the CATTLE and tho meadow bottoms arc
to thicken for an average burden Of nourishing
grass and the Winter grain is TO blossom and fill for
an abundant harvest, tho clouds must make up
their minds to drop some fairness hcreabOut without
delay. The storms which hayo lately gathered in

The cipher kilograms produced by Mr.. Hill in his
speech against Senator Kellogg do not seem to be
startling productions; at least they arc very mild
hy comparison with certain more famous dispatches
of which the people have lively recollection. But
whatever they may be, there is nothing to show as
vet that Mr.. Hill has discovered their meaning.
The readings which ho offers as Transitions nro
apparently only guesscs In simple substitution
cipher Of this character there is no way of arriving
nj the signiicati0n of the arbitrary words except
by the comparison of considerable number OF
specimens. The few kilograms produced by Mr. Hill
do not afford material for testing tho accuracy Of
his conjccturos, and it would probably 10 easy TO
guess at another rendering entirely different from
his in sense, and quite as likely to be correct. The
GraIncrcy Park ciphcrs were 30 abundant that
there WAS no difficulty in putting the interprcta-
ton To the scYrTst tests, and tho lntrlcacy OF the

The holding of four Republican State Con-
yentions during the current week has made 1t
possible to enlarge the estimates of the vote at
Chicago given on Saturday last. A revised
statement, made elsewhere, shows Mr.. Blame
to be within exactly 100 votes of nomination.
while General Grant is 153 votes away and
there are only 1O9 delegates still to be elected
Should General Grant obtain all OF these ne
would still be nearly fifty votes short. But ne
cannot obtain all of the torty-twO votes OF ILL
nois except by measures which would ruin his
candidacy, and it seems to be well understood
that the ten votes of Minnesota will be for MIR.
Blaine, to say nothing of his strong chances in
Nebraska and Colorado. The new estimate
strengthens the probability of General Grants
defeat. He will be much short OF majority
when the Convention meets and men who have
been elected to oppose a third term are not
likely to desert their colors.

It is gratifying to find that the Democrats of
the Senate are not solidly arrayed in defence Of
the iniqutous project to steal MIR. Kellogg's seat
Senator HamptoD's declaration of his intention
to vote against this most unjustifable deed will
domore to bring him the esteem of all men whose
esteem is worth having than any other act OF
his career. His speech is marked with no more
than the customary regret of the party man
who finds himself compelled to separate him
self from his political associates and it contains
the substance of law and justice in this matter
The Democratic Senators have shown no dis
position to be convinced by the arguments of
Republicans. Perhaps they will give greater
attention when one of their own number asks
them, If the case Is to be reheaTd now, what is
" to prevent its being reheard again and again Y
Under the theory of the present majority, it
might be reopened, and every case might be re-
opened, with every change Of political control,
and the Senate be permanently Mexicanized.
The RICH ttulness of Mr.. Kelloggs title is not,
as General Hampton showed. now an issue at
all. That question has once been decided, and
the decision, whether right or wrong, must be
respected. To quote his own words, E" the con-
"sequences of leaving titles to seats forever
