that they mover took the position that
.he president had the power to annul or
set aside the finding Of the court.martial
and approval OF sentence OF dismissal
from the army. They coincide i'll this
respect with the opinion of the attorney
general. but their view was that the
president could remit the sentence and
that congress could by law restore him
to the army and they have supposed that
the president would exercise his pardon
ing power and would recommend con.
grcss to pass Law which would carry
out the recommendation. The board OF

SOUTHERN ELECTION FRAUDS.

There promises to be considerable music
In the House, not OF the most harmonious
sort, when the contested election cases
are reached. II the Democrats are foolish
enough, as it appears quite probable they
will be, to shoulder and defend all the
frauds and outrages perpetrated in their
name at the South, the Republicans will
be under continued obligations to them.
1t will furnish On effective remnant Of the
old southern question for use In the fall
elections, in districts where the leaders
still depend on the remains OF the war is
sues. The evidence OF deliberate and
widespread conspiracy to thwart the will
OF the voters by ballot-box stufllng, false
returns, and dishonest canvassing, Is too
conclusive to leave those who planned and
executed 1t any defense except an alleged
necessity. The Msckey canvass in South
Carolina, on which the report has been
prepared, Is one OF the worst of these. In
forty five precincts G,2i7 more votes were
found 10 the boxes than there were names
on the polling lists. 1t Is in evidence that
the Republicans, voted open tickets, 50
that no chance for concealment was possi-
ble, even had not their known large ma
jority rendered fraud unnecessary. The
Democratic ballots, on the other hand,
were printed on very thin paper, and they
became separated when shaken up. AT
the close OF the polls the excess was re-
moved by drawing ballots; but, as the I'm.
gers OF the Democratic election officers
could not fail to detect the difference
which their eyes were not permitted to
see, in twenty nine precincts, 2i5i Repub-
lican, aud only 3S5 Democratic ballots
were drawn. In other heavy Republican
precincts the whole Republican vote was
thrown out by Democratic cayassers. As
the result OF all this effort 10 assert the
supremacy OF the white race" Repub-
lican majority OF over 1000 was wiped out
aud Democrat returned to Congress. In
the present state OF parties and OF the coun-
try, no southern district needs o.called
Democrat in Congress badly enough TO re-
sort to such desperate and despcable mea-
sures to elect him. II is not probable that
these tactics will be repeated, but they will
be less likely TO be, II the House sends
back the bogus member. And, the Dem
ocrats are not fools and blind, they will
show their regard for "a free ballot and an
honest count" by voting to unseat him

A GOOD RECORD.

In speaking Of the work Of the present
Congress Senator Frye said There are
three measures already passed or assured
on which alone the Republican party can
60 to the country this fall and fairly claim
the election Of Republican House OF Rep
resentatives. The resolution for the ap-
pontment OF q commission TO investigate
the alcoholic liquor traffic has been walt
ing before Congress for ten years, during
six Of which the Democrats had control or
the House. 1t has been passed by the
Senate over the opposition Of the Demo-
cratic Senators, and will undoubtedly be
passed by the House. The Republican
party can fairly claim that 1t has done for
the temperance sentiment Of the country
what the Democratic party party was not
willing to do, either now or when 1t had
control of Congress. The question Of po-
lygamy has been before Congress for many
years. The Democratic party has never
been willing, either as majority or min
ority In Congress, to take any efectual
action to suppress that evil. This Con-
gress has passed and passed promptly the
most stringent and effective law that has
ever been adopted on that subject. The
Democratic party was never able or will
ing, in the six years 1t controlled the House,
to revise the tariff and remove its inequal-
tiles. This Congress will undoubtedly
pass the commission bill, which means a
thorough revision Of the tariff That is
record enough for one session Of one Con-
0ress"
