The capital commission as legal and
Ordwayian creation. has been the object
OF much criticism the reverse Of compli.
mentary. In the controversy, the indl-
vidusls who compose the commission,
are not TO be considered in the question
at all. As individuals, their hard for
tune in being chased BY the minions Of
the law, the diseomforts they have had
to endure in consequence Of It must
claim sympathy.
As individuals, We have no criticism to
offer concerning them. They are
but the instruments by, and through
which certain acts are to be performed
Their situation 10. anomalous in the,
fact that, as officers of the law, to enforce
o law, they are reduced to the necessity
of fleeing, twisting and turning, to es.
cape the officers OF the law. Although
this mode Of procedure may be the only
one left them-no man can claim Il to
be dignifed or calculated to create con.
fidence in their mission.
In the general indignation against the
capital swindle, some confound the mem.
bers of the commission who have been
selected to enforce this odious and un.
just law, with the law itself. It 10 use.
less to argue with men whose ideas are
80 contracted by prejudice. They never
could be made to comprehend the facts.
A certain class of minds are said to be
so constructed that nothing short of .
surgical operation can make them see q
joke, we doubt if even surgery could
reach those cases which cannot distin.
guish between tie commissioners as pri.
vate individuals and e. commissioners
When the courts decide that the capital
law is illegal and void, as 1t is probable
they will, then the capital commission
must be considered q practical Joke upon
his excellency and the commissioners
who have been, as it were, victimized BY
an April fool hoax.
We sympathize with these gentlemen
in their suffering. It il no joke K
have to flee from the officers of the
law. to be compelled to ride in cattle
cars IN cold weather to escape them, an6
be forced to loiter around wretched way
stations and corn cribs to elude theil
vigilance. To be compelled to depar,
from whence they came without homo
or profit from their service, as they will
be compelled to do, is also no Joke
Many things in this capital scheme ar
no joke to either the commissioners OF

A MOnstrOus Doctrine.

The State House of Representa-
tives has just considered the Reilly
Jennison case and decided against the
right of the Legislature to go into
joint convention to pass upon the title
of judges in contested election cases.
AS the courts have no jurisdiction in
these cases, and as the Legislature has
now decided that they have no juris-
diction, it would seem that any town
or ward in the State may make the
Governor, Supreme Judge, or any
State officer, by fraud or otherwise
and that no remedy can be applied
In other words the Legislature have
adopted Jennison's theory of the case,
page 8 of respondents BRIEF as fol-
lows:
Until the adoption of the consti-
tuition of 1850, the courts had COM
plete jurisdiction over matters Of this
kind while this jurisdiction was not
disturbed generally, it was taken away
as far as it might under the former
state of things be exercised, in cases
Of elections determined by State Board
of Canvassers."
We have then left the monstrous
doctrine that the people who vote for
a constable have a right to free vote
and fair count" and to a judicial en-
quiry into the same, while they have
no such right as to.Governor, Supreme
Judge, or any officer, when the re-
turns are sent to that exclusively min
isterial body the State Board of Can
vassers.
The question was decided by party
vote, nearly all the Republicans re-
cording themselves in favor of such
an infamous doctrine.
