CHALMERS AND LYNCH

Theaction Of the committee OF the
United States House Of Representatives
in deciding by a vote OF ten to two in
favor Of uusenting Gen. Chalmers, and
seating Lynch instead, ia another indi-
cation Of the stalwart process TO disre-
gard the sovereign rights of the people
ignoring the voice Of the majority.
The preliminary attempts TO uuseat Gen
eral Chalmers, probably obtains its i'm
petus from the fact that the contestant,
whether successful or not, draws the
salary Of a Congressman, thus being
we'll remuuerated for his devotion to the
party 10 power, and especially if said
contestant has nothing else to do, he can
make very good support at that kind
Of business. The usage of paying con-
testauts, has tendency to encourage
the practice. and in some instances meas
ures of this sort are probably inaugura.
