Governor Hoyt, of Pennsylvania. has
been ruled out of the party by the loyal
press of that state. for.daring to appoint a
Democrat to position on the supreme
bench Of that model Republican strong
hold. The appointee is son of the late
Chief Justice Woodward, an Old personal
friend of Gov. Hoys, and the latter not
only refuses to withdraw oodward's
name. but insists that il shall stand This
announcement so incensed the Hoyt club
at the home of the governor. that the
small minded creatures composing IT, tore
down the portrait of the governor from It's
place on the wall, trampled it under foot
and then threw il in the gutter. This
acriJn Is commendsd by the stalwar. press
as showing Governor Hoyt that be has
been guilty of Il most unpardorabe sin.
1t Is to be hoped that Democrats in future,
will have the good sense to leave Republ-
cans severely alone in that den of ring rule
and corruption-Pennsylvauia.

probation.

The New York Express says, "a con-
stltutiOn either means what it says or it
means what it does not say. Governor
Garcelon maintained the good old fashion
ed Democratic doctrine that "a constitution
means exactly what it says. The supreme
court of Maine agreed with him until it
was bullied and soverslaughed By Blaine
into declaring that the constitution of that
state means what it does not say, that
when it says must" and "shalP' it means
may" and that when statutes framed
under the constitution say may they
mean must" and shall" The whole
question at issue in that state resolves
itself at last into this single alternative.
And the Republicans have committed
themselves to position which is sufficient
ly ridiculous to excite merriment and suf-
6ciently lamentabIe to excite pity.

ME. Bicknell's Bill for Counting and
Declaring the Vote.

Declaring the Vote.
us.h;raton corresnopdence of the N Y. Herald
Both parties in the house manifest de-
cided interest in the bill TO ascertain and
declsre the results of presidential elections.
and there is fair prospect that this ques-
tiop. so vitality important TO the country,
will be settled by the present congress.
The bill was reported to-day, and the 10Th
of January was set for its consideration.
The Republicans as we'll as Democrats
desire 10 adopt some measure, and there
is at present a strong disposition among
the wiser men OF both sides to perfect the
present bill as far as possible and enact it
into law. The gist of the Bickuell bill is
contained in section s, which is in these
words:
SECTION s. Congress shall be In session
on the second Monday In February sue
ceeding every meeting of the electors.
The senate and house of representatives
shall meet 10 the hall of representatives at
one O'Clock. post meridian. on that day,
aud the president of the senate shall be
the presiding officer, Two tellers shall be
previously appointed on the part OF the
senate and two on the part of the house OF
representatives. The president of the
senate shall then open all the certificates
and papers purportipg 10 be certificates
of the electoral votes. The votes shall
then be counted by the two houses of
congress, 10 the alphabetical order of
the states, as certified by the electors.
unless rejected by both houses. but if 10
any state there is controversy as to the
appointment or eligibility of electors the
decision thereof by its highest judicial tri-
bunal shall be conclusive, and the vote
shall be counted In accordance Herewith,
unless reversed by both houses, and if
there be more than one judicial decision,
each purportlng to be By the highest court
of the same state, the decision held by
both houses to be that of the lawful tri-
bunal shall be conclusive unless reversed
BY both houses. Where there has been
a controversy In any state as aforesaid. and
no such certified decision has been trans
mitted, or when two or more such oerti-
fed decisions have been transmitted the
contested votes from such state shall not
be counted unless both houses concur there
in, and if there be several electoral certi-
fcate had by both houses to be executed
by the proper authority shall be conclusive
unless rejected by both houses
Under the old twenty second joint rule
which was adopted by the representatives
to enable them to throE out the votes of
unTecOnsLrueted states, and which was
later repealed By them 10 order 10 obtain
a different rule when they feared the
Democrats might use it, the practice was
that no vote objected to shall be counted
except by the concurrent vote OF the .wo
houses" In the present bill the vote of
state must be counted unless rejected By
both houses, and tie decision of q state
court in the case of disputed election is
to stand unless reversed by both houses.
This aecords substantially with the meas
ure so long ably and Professionally advocated
in the senate by the late Senator Morton.

Under the existing constitution OF Indi-
ana no specified time is required for resi-
dence to enable any one to exercise the
right Of suffrage. A foreign born citizen,
even if in the state but six months, and
declaring his intention to become citizen
is allowed to vote at all state and NUM-
cipal elections. Nor does changing of
residence from one county, ward or precinct
to another, invalidate the right TO cast
baiiot. In April seven amendments to the
constitution will be voted on, and among
the number is one requiring fixed resi-
dence of six months 10 the state, sixty
days IN the county, thirty days ia the town,
ward or precinct. Another amendment
changes the time of holding state elections
to the first Tuesday alter the first Monday
in November, whish. if adopted. would
bring the state and national elections on
the same day. 1t Is expected that these
two amendments will be defeated and the
adoption of the five others is doubtful, the
sentiment of the people being 10 favor of
allowing matters to remain as they now
are.

So intense is the feeling in Maine, that
neighbors who have been on good terms
all their lives until the present troubles
came, refuse to speak to each other. For
this unfortunate of affairs. tbs blame
rests with the preachers who have stepped
aside from their calling as ministers Of the
gospel, and openly advised such action,
and urged its adoption. These religious
fanatics who wear the livery of Heaven to
serve the devil. will probably repent of
their folly, but the bitter feeling their en-.
sane teachings has engendered will not
be removed in years. This may be the
true Christian spirit according to the Re
publican teachings of the Maine leaders, but
in enlightened communities, it is generally
believed that Christs teachings are the
opposite of what the Maine preachers lead
their f1cks to suppose is the proper inter
probation.

The agitation OF the currency question
has begun in Congress. and now we may
expect the usual number of spread eagle
speeches from self-constituted financial
reformers, who imagine the peoples will
ignore their existence unless they appear
to be dong something for the good of the
country, It is q satisfaction, however.
to know that there is strong following in
both branches Of Congress in favor of
letting the currency question alone, and
for the sake of maintaining the business
prosperity which seems to abound, it is
earnestly to be hoped the policy of this
class will prevail. The country is doing
we'll enough and certainly experience
ought to teach US to leave we'll enough
alone.

Maine has two governors, one Joseph L,
Smith, the legally elected executiver, the
other Daniel f. Davis elected by q rump
legislature. Through q partisan opinion
of the supreme court, aided by a hireling
styled General Cham berlain, this usurper
Davis has been allowed TO occury the
state Offices. 1t is asserted that Smith,
the governor elected by the Fusionists will
not abdicate, aud should nc adhere to
that resolve, nothing short of bloodshed
can be the outcome. in which event the
blame will rest with the Republican lea
ders, who, rather than loosen their ill
