Ger, without noticing the interruption.
Il repeat-.you arrived in Paris about
the 18th, and you were in your wife's
bedroom on the night of the 18th and

AT these words the Barren leaped to his
feet, his face distorted with pangs of
fear and passion.

handed hat to the Baron.
All eyes were bent upon him. The
Baron turned deadly pale, and remained
speechless for Il considerable time. At
last he stammered forth incoherently.

questioner. "Monsieur le Baron, you

and committed the diabolical deed for

But such IL confession was never made.
That night Baron dc G.. was safely
shut up in prison till his trial should
take place. All Paris rang with the
news that the real murderer of the Bar
oness had been discovered, and that he
was no other than her own husband. But
that night the prisoner escaped. On
entering the cell the following morning,
he was found lying stretched out on his
couch, cold and stiff. 1t was supposed
that, living lawless life, he had been
in the habit of carrying poison about
him.

a Supposed Case.
st. Louis Republican


The New York Tribune claims that four
years ago it ''showed that the power to
count the electoral votes was by that in-
strument the constitution vested 10 the
vice president alone, and that sthe pres-
ence of the two houses was intended to be-.
and necessarily would be. a powerful
moral restraint against the commission OF
any wrong by him." 1t adds;
but 1t may as well be said, frat ss last. that
any rule that congress can possibly pase on this
subject wonld be a nullity. The constitutional
power of the Vice-President cannot be usurped by
any resolution. or by airy formal enRctments OF
congress. II Viee-President Wheeler, at The sp-
pointed time. the two honses having assembled TO
witness the proceeding, counts the votes and de-
clares Garfield and Arthur elected, the constitu-
ton requires that those persons hall be lnaugrated
and obeyed president and vtce-pres1dent, and
gives no power whatever to either branch OF con-
gress to set aside that formal declaration"
This is a case Of plain sailing. But
there may be a case of toni weather in
which things would not run SO alGoo;hly
suppose Vice-President Wheeler should
declare, not Garfield and Arthur. but
Hancock and English, elected; or suppose
Vice President Wheeler. being i'll at the
time, the Democrats president pro ten!
pore of the senate should declare Hancock
and English elected. should they and
would they be peacefully "inaugurated and
obeyed as president and yiOe-president =

Torrance of duty the president OF tne sen>
ate would be Inpeached, convicted and
disgraced Perhaps he would and per-
haps not; but even admitting &hat he
could and would be. What good would it
do in the way Of remedyiRg the wrong?

r1tz John Portar.s Case.

The passage by the senate OF the bill

justice to that prosecuted man, and be and
his friends have reason to rejoice that
even this morsel is permitted. The Chi
cago Times says. of this case that iii a

merits, and there is little chance that it
can be 30 discussed so long as it is treated
in the senate as party question. Cen

his alleged disloyal conduct. instead of be-
ing relieved at once. as he should have
been had he been guilty. His trial oc-
Cured at time when there was bitter
feeling towards General Mcclellan land all
his friends. The fact that an officer was
Democrat or friend of General McClel-
Ian created afpopular suspicion against
him, and was in the minds of many people
evidence of treason. That General Pope
had been outgeneraled. and was practically
beaten in advance; that the situation Of
affairs when he gave his orders to Porter
was totally different from what he supp
posed it was; that the more blame Porter
could be made to bear, the less would rest
on Pope: and that if Porter were guilty
Mcdowell was not free from blame, are all
facts that cast doubts on the justice OF
Porter's sentence. But however conscien-
tious the original court.martial may have
been, the fact remains that recently
Porter's case was investigated at
great length by board OF army
officers, as free as men can be from
political fbiases and from thesanimosit
that grew out!of events in the war, and
with large amount of information before
them which was not accessible to the
court-martial, and the result of this was
Porter's exoneration, Now it would seem
30 be the decent thing for the senate to
pay some respect to this recent, thorough,
bipartisan, and'well informed investiga-
ton. The utmost that congress can do il
to authorize the president to reinstatt
Porter, and it is now only asked by his
friends that he be placed on the retired
list. without pay for the period that hal
elapsed since he was oashiered. Thu

RaYard and Conklinp.

With great flourish Senator Conkliug,
Boutwell,, Arthur and others have seen fit
to indulge in strong language against Sem
ator Bayard, charging that gentleman with
talsehood in a speech at Dover, Del This,
it now appears, is unjust to Bayard and
uncalled for. The speech referred to was
never delivered. and when OonkliDg and
his tools grow SO suddenly indignant. it is
well TO call attention 10 some facts which
have never been denied, A Washington
correspondent states that CoRkling'a cause
of omplaint against Bayard is that the
Delaware senator said in his Dover speech
that it was understood that Conkling had
received compensation in Phelps, Dodge
i Co.'s case as their counsel for Arthur
Cornell and Latin, the then cusium off,
GERS of New York. Examination Of the
record shows that Senator Bayard had
abundent evidence to sustain this asser-
ton, In his examination before the ways
and means committee in 1874 Wm. E.
Dodge, senior member of the Erm in
question, testified that not only was Gep
Butler counsel for Jayne and discharged
clerk that stole the papers frcm Phelps
Dodge & Co.. but that Senator Oonkline
was IN New York and in consultation with
these gentlemen at the time. when for two
days the question hung, whether this
thing should be settled or not. Comment-
ing on this statement 10 the speech deli

that charge until he denied it IN his letter
to Mr.. Bayard. His alleged clients, one
of whom was Arthur. were invited to
appear before the committee, and failed or
refused to appear. Conkliug may perhaps
now think he can escape from the FIRST
charge by concealing it in q windy contest
about a charge that was never made, but
he will probably be unsuccessful. The
