SENSIBLE ACTION.

William d. Washburn was the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in the
Third Congressional District of Mime
sofa in 1878. Ignatius Donnelly, who
had formerly represented the District
in Congress as Republican, and sub
sequently experienced change Of po-
litical sentiments, was his opponent on
the Democratic ticket. Some 1900
votes were polled in the District, of
which Washburn, according to returns,
received 2l,036, and Donnelly lS,O24.
Washburn received a certificate oc
election, but his seat was contested
upon the ground of bribery and intimi-
dation of electors. The matter was
referred to the House Elections Com
mittee, before whom it was shown that
considerable money had been used in
the District in purchasing votes. 1t
was also shown that manufacturing
companies, of which there are several
ia the District, instructed those in
their employ to vote for Washburn un-
der penalty of being discharged, and that
the ballots were numbered in order to
determine how many mill hands voted
the ticket prescribed for them by their
employers, though the laws of the State
.,ra,r,lol LII L, IL
tions shall be uniform. The House
Committee after thorough investiga-
ton of the case, have decided that
neither Washburn nor Donnelly is en-
titled to the seat, and have recon-
mended that the matter be remanded
to the people for new election This
action, considering the fact that bribery
and intimidation were shown to have
been used at the election in 1878, ought
to receive the approval of both parties.
The question will now be resubmitted
to the people of the District to decide
who shall represent them in Congress,
and if the tactics of 1878 are repeated,
it is not probable that either of the
candidates will be admitted to seat.
This is exactly the course pursued by
the California Legislature in case of the
joint-Senator from San Francisco and
San Mateo counties. Desty, the Work
ingmen's nominee, received majority
of the votes polled at the Septetaber
election, but his seat was contested by
Byrnes, upon the ground that Desty
was not eligible. The Senate decided
that as Byrnes did not receive ma
jority of the votes, and no frauds on the
part of the Workingmen were shown,
it remained for the electors of the dis
trict to determine who should represent
them in that body. Bypnes was re,
nominated by the Republicans, and at
the election week ago defeated Freud
by several thousand majority. This
ends all doubt as to his right to the
seat, whereas, if he had been seated be-
cause of the ineligibility of Desty, it
would be justly claimed that he was
not the legal representative of the
people.

he was before. 1 am no sickly senti- mentalist as you know, but by reason and experience try to find out what is the greatest good for the greatest number, and make that my rule of action. There are two forces by winch we can govern men and make them better, the moral :nd physical.
 By the proper use of these two forces
 in each individual case, varied to suit
 the nature of each, we can govern
 and make better the toughest savage
 and he who fails to study the philoso-
 phy and practical application of the
 same will never make successful
 rule for mankind. Most certainly the
 State has the right to punish crime,
 but certainly no mora! right to visit the consequences upon innocent wUm-
 en and children. The state has no
 right to deprive wife and children
 of the fruits of the convict's labor. Let just estimate be placed on his labor and the fruits of the same
 be paid at stated intervals to his family and if he has no family let it go into the common school fund of the State, and not into the pock- cts > of some one to make
 him princely fortune, at the expense of the sorrows and tears of worse than widowed women, and worse then orphaned children. Whilst the State deals out strict and exact jus tice to the violator of law, she should at tie same time lessen the consequences as much as possible to the innocent. Every convict in our State prisons
 should be placed under system of moral, physical and mental training, carried out in spirit of firmness, req son, and kindness, that will make hlm better man if possible than he was when he entered the prison walls. l know many will say such a course IS not practical, but the results in States
 where it has been tried show to the contrary. J. W. r.
