BEAfY, Editor. ! SATU1JDAY, FEB. 17, 1877. Counting ll?yes in for l*i'c?dilcut. The latest nowK indicates very ,' clearly that the patriotic efforts made by the Democrats in Congress lor the peace of the country in delegating j sulhoiity to a partisan comniieaion, with one majority against them, to determine and decide the rules governing the action of that body, as to ( what evidence should he considered in connection with the disputed returns, and which of the disputed votes are the votes provided for hy the Constitution and as sneh to be counted, will ( result in the sacrifice of the people's i light to choose their rulers, hy counting Hayes and Wheeler in over the , expressed will ot a majority of the people. The decision of the Commission in the Florida ease is that the fraudulent returns are the ones ]}rovidcil for by the ('oust itnt ion. The Commission decided that "no evidence would he received or considered hy the Commission which was not submitted to the joint convention ( ol the two houses hy the Fiesidcnt ol ( I L! * ?- - I - ' im_-oL-niiii* wim mo u.nerent. cernn- i cat cm,' except 8licit as relates to lite eligibility ol" 1'". (J. Humphreys, one of ilio Electors." This was erpiivelant to letting the ( l'resident of the Senate count the < votes, as it excluded all evidences ol lite correct vote of the people, as well as all evidences ol the Irmtd practised by iho returning boatd and Gov. Stearns. The action of the Courts and Legislature ordering a tecunvans of the vote and the result ol that ro-eanvass, was | presented along with lite certificate | ol lite l ildelt vole, and nolwilhslirild* tng lite Court papers showed that ii attached to the Hayes electors bclon1 they cast their vole, the Commission ruled it out on a strictly partisan vote. In I act the decision was made on the simple basis that the Hayes electors had received the eertilicale of the returning hoard, and it mattered not ; wnat iMo majority was against them they wore the ones provided /or by the Constitution. The decision of the Commission was objected to by Democratos in the Senate and House. Tlio Senate Mistimed the decision by a party vote, and the i louse sustained the objection* to the decision, by a party vote. Alter counting the vote ol Florida for Hayes the count ol the States went on until it came to Louisiana when objections were made, and the case was referred to the Commission. The Democrats claim that the Lou isiana ease presents several different leattires from that to Florida, chief among which is that action ol the Returning Hoard was without the authority ol the law ol that State; the law requiring a Hoard composed ol live, whereas there was hut lour and they ail ol one party while the law requires that they shall ho of both parties. Next they expect to show that two or throe or the Hayes' elec- i tors were disoualitied troin bnhlim/ I nlHce. Ari l finally tho question will ?' ho brought up whether Kellogg was 1 legally the Governor ol Louisiana. We expect the Lo lisiana vote to go t the sains way that Florida's has gone, I for Hayes by a purely partisan vote ol 1 tho Commmtsston. Wlio Elects the President! | On what a slender thru id doth life hang, and just now the election ol ) President hangs on one equally as slender. Judge Bradly casts the deciding vole, and though considered a mild Republican his wife is bitterly in favor of Hayes. She wants to visit the Whitehouse and between her and Morton the old gent has a hard road to travel. So one woman has the electing of the President in this Jiepubli. can government.

Hut this gray and palsied politician lias not died, j lie has been sued for breach of prom ise. For seventy years false to all that is usually held in esteem by j others; this ancient man has crowned a career remarkable lor its length ami i s iniquity, by a sin that his years, it j j not Itis moral-, should have saved him ( 1 It out.

The notion o( the Kleetoral Com mis. nidi, in t he case ol Florida, is a public calamity?not because it defeats Til* <ien or elects Haven, tor such may not t>e the final remiti, lint because this high tribunal, \\ hone members were selected from the Supreme Con it and Iroui the two brunches ol the National Legislature tor the purpose of deciding the gravest National issues, has dclib j eralely decided that it has no right to inquire into the justice and equity ol i the case, but must coiiliue the exercise ol its powers within the strictest lech* idealities ol the law?and has, more* | over, reached that decision by a strictly party vote. In a body ol men, so selected that they must he presumed to represent whatever ol virtue or , mo I'd i won u mere n lit the country, not one man has been loumt with sufficient null peitdeneo ot thought, ami manliness ol character to lead him to conclusion a regardless of party interests. Can anything he conceived more mortifying to the national pride or more dirogatory to the national character? Leaving nut of view, however, anything ol what in this utilitarian age might fie called sentiment, j the disastrous c fleet ?d this decision j upon the public welfare cannot, bo j exaggerated.
