CONTESTED ELECTIONS.

When the journal says that there is no
serious question that Mr.. Peelle received
majority of the legal votes it makes what IS
merely a partisan and untrue statement.
The record will show that he did not receive
majority of the legal votes, and it is not at all
likely that Democratic Congress will hest
tate to give the seat to the Democrat in a case
as clearly in his favor as this is.-Sentinel.
The Journal states only what is VIGOROUSLY
true. 1t is neither partisan nor untrue
to say that there is no serious question
that Mr. Peelle received legal majority of
the legal votes of the district. The cause of
the contest and the record will prove that fact
beyond question. Where one witness was in
troduced to testify upon the point affecting
the majority of votes cast, scores, if not
hundreds, were examined upon the technical
question of the quality of paper upon which
the Republican ballots were printed And the
"evidcnce" affecting the question of the ma
jority of the votes was of the fimsiest possible
Observation-Disclosures, we say again, that would
not be held good for moment in Dogberry's
court
The Journal was not talking of the question
of contested elections from partisan point Of
view at all 1t readily confesses that wrongs
have been practiced in the name of the Re
publican party in this behalf; but we believe
the records will show there has been much less
of it when Republicans had the majority than
when the Democrats have been in power. But
this aside. Everyone ,"bH - "

0ntested elections are, and have

in, nine times out of ten, without the slight
est regard to merit, but because complaeent
majority is relied upon to give the office to
their partisan contestant, or to pay him such
a sum for expenses as makes it more
/ profitable business than any other in which he
can engage for the same length of time, There
are other contests Of more local character,
and of which indianapolis and Marion county
have had their full share which are brought
by defeated candidates simply to be bought
off. The Journal is opposed to all
this business. Contests should be
entered into whenever there is good and
valid reason to believe that such frauds and
injustice have been committed as make it
reasonably certain that the contestee Is hold
ing his Office wrongfully. A contestant should
be willing to have his case passed upon by his
political opponents. One way to reduce the
number and character of contests is to make
them improbable to those who engage in
them

administrations last that was, and may

Gin the month Of December, 1860, the Hon
Howell Cobb then Secretary Of the Treasury
acting under the authority conferred by an
act dec. II, 1860, just then passed by Con
gress, invited bids for $50, 900, 900 one year
treasury notes. the bidders to indicate the rate
of interest at which they were willing to take
the notes The proposals received were for
various amounts at widely different rates Of
interest, ranging from 6 to SO per cent. per
annum Under these bids notes were issued
to the amount of $40, 900, 900, bearing interest
at rates ranging from to II per cent. per
annum, nearly one-haf of the entire amount
being at the highest named rate, and the av-
erage being lll92 per annum. Other bids
demanding interest up to Sc per cent per an
mum, We're declined. The several amounts
awarded at the various rates are stated in the
inclosed printed copy of Department letter
of Sept 25 1878. No list of successful bid
ders appears to have been published but the
names are on record in this office and can be
be furnished if desired. On February %,
1861, General Dix who had assumed the office
on the 18th of the preceding month, nego-
tiated loan under authority of the act Of
Feb. 8, 1861, which loan is often spoken of as
the first war loan, although actual hostilities
did not break out for nearly two months there
after.
''Under the same authority Secretary Chase
obtained loans during the ensuing three or
four months, the obligations issued under the
act being $18, Ais, 900 in twenty-year per
cent. bonds, for which the treasury received
$l6, 1895, 223.90 or an average of about 500 03
for each 800 in bonds"
Is it not plain that rascally party that has
so conducted the business of the country that

to let in party that 50 managed affairs that
money readily commanded IL per cent?
