Toe Electoral Count RiIi

Il was expected that the democratic
managers at Washington who are so
persistent to pass the electoral count
bill, would have had She Democratic
members all gathered in yesterday so
that tAsy could have proceeded with
the bin. 1t seems however that they
did not succeed In gathering up The
stragglers and the bill did not com. uD.
1t is reported that the Democrats and
the Greenbacksrs have formed an al
liance for the purpose Of Fnshing the
bill through, though we cannot see the
necessity 70. passing it at this session
of Congress- unless 1t means mischief
aud TO plunge the country into anarchy
ard confusion, which will he pretext
for referring the election OF President
to the House. Alexander e. Stephens
said, recently Of this measure, that "it
is i'll advised" and if this scheme is
never counting out Garfield we car
not imagine what it is for. There is
consolation in the thought that if troa-
BILE arises ont of this electoral count /.
will not be chargesble to the RepubA.
can leaders but to the Northern Demo
cratic leaders who are bringing ii
about.
Representative FELTON,, Of Georgia,
also said; 'In my view this joint rule is "a
political trick, a means Of attem pting
to secure partisan ends. Everybody
admits Garfeli's election. To doutt
to institute measures TO defeat or
prejudice the casting Of the electoral
vote for him is madress." The views
Of both these men, both Of them emf
nent Democrats, fully justify the opin-
ion of the Republicans Of the country
that unless the Morgan rale is utterly
useless and purposelesa, it has a pur-
pose that Is rascslly and vicious ana

|demnation Of the Irish people Upon the
fac. that they have committed agrsrian
outragss in Ireland. There is a po5si-
bIlity that people who do Hct and never

appreciate their suferings because they
never we're placed in their position.
The man who has never been the vic
tim Of want, nor felt the Cravings Of

great injustice apd depth Of degrads-
ton 10 which the Irish people have
been subjected, and Lencs sympathy
