The basis for j this declaration as stated in the re- e port is that the State law imposes a 11 y number of restrictions upon thee\- ' efeise of the right of suffrage which J are in eonllict with the Stab- Consti v tution. Whereas the Constitution c deprives a person of the right of suffrage only upon conviction of J murder,'felony, duelling and treason ( The State law prohibits the exercise t of the right of suffrage bv persons / who were entitled to register in 1SS1 (' and neglected to do so; bv t hose who moved into the State and neglected to register at the first ensuing regist rat ion; and liy those who so'd their 2 registration certificates for valuable v consideration. . The report states a number of no 1 N groes have bean compelled by pover !. ty while waiting for the maturity of the cotton crop, to negotiate their *' certiticatoH to traders who immcdi- 1 i ..I l 1 i 1. 1 . i r j ; I I - 1 UlilV M'lIU I IM' 111 III pOIIMCUl IUYIU ( ipiarters, with the result that tli?' j ?j negroes are permanently disfrun-1 ' ehised. . After laving down this proposit ion J the report proceeds to diseuss Ilie h* | gal aspects of the election from the usual standpoint, and recites the fact that in certain precincts what amounted to an educational test (and . V therefore an illegal test ) was imposed hy lettering the ballot boxes, which 1 were separate in the case of each of- i ficc, and that the voters were deceived hv an intentional shifting of the N ? j boxes so that the managers of the election were able to throw out all ' of the ballots cast in wrong boxes. ' There was also, says the report, evidence of ballot box st ufling. Summing up, it is found that taking a position most favorable to tinsitting member, contestant Miller had a majority of 7"?7; while, if the law is strictly followed, his majority will reach 1,1 IX. Wilson of Missouri will prepare a minority report-. Oomstock opened the discussion with an argument in favor of the claims of the contestant. ('lisp presented the claims of the con tost ee.

Unwell defended the committee on lections from the charge of part kilty, and in allusion to Crisp's noiniintioii of Turpin, said that in the lection here there would bean lionst count and no stuffing of ballotloxes?a thing which bad not taken dace in the fourth District of Ala- j >aina for the last ten years.

"A p'ague on all cowards!" says shakespeare's Kilt Knight, himself lie 1mm ideal of a bullving polroon. Hut is it just to couple infamy villi coward ice?

IHs reason may tell him that his hack is as broad a target as liis breast, and that he is as likely to be shot retreating as advancing; j indeed, more likely, for even a brave man can take a steadier aim at a living adversary than at a furious foe rushing upon him at the "doublejuick.M Hut instinct is stronger than reason in the craven, and all his locomotive muscles arc at its command. j Under these circumstances, ought; i military man who shows the white j feather in the presence of the enemy ' to he shot therefor? lining, as Kail j staff says, "a onward upon instinct," , is he morally responsible for running away? Perhaps not. Nor is it for the net itself that he is doomed, hut hecause of its consequences. Terror is epidemic. It is more rapidly caught than the small-pox, and spreads more rapidly. A Captain is smitten with it anlfttominunicatcs it to his company, the regiment catches it from the company, the brigade from the regiment, the corps from the brigade, the whole army from the corps, and i.1. _ '4 ' * runs a groat i tattle is lost, and perhaps a groat cause endangered or ruined. It will not do to adhere .scrupulously to the abstract principles of justice in such cases. The offense I must be measured by its results! The event and not the involuntary act which produced it, arraigns and condemns its author. The punishment which seems cruel is absolutely necessary, and therefore right. Not/ because be is a coward, is the cowardly soldier done to death, but in order that disasters more terrible than the shooting of a thousand dastards may bo prevented by bis public shame and dishonorable doom.?

O ,T lending us money nt a low rah' of interest until I In* crops that are held hack can be sob! io advantage.' Sueli is the demand made by the Farmers' Alliance throu gh Senator Vance. Senator Stanford, knowing the great extent to which Western farms, and indeed the farms of other States, are shingled over with i nor tirades, has introduced and is seriously supporting a hill pro\iding for the lending of mom \ h\ the government on farm mortgages, the money to lie printed expressly for the purpose, and made legal tender for pub' and private debts. The Mc('lannn\ bill, which eloselv resembles the Stanford hill, provides lor a loan to the people of SI,Sou,(K?0,()00 at ! per cent. After SenVance, with his Farmers' Alliance bill, and Senator Stanford, with his farm-mortgage hill, comes Senator Ingalls, who introduce. Mo r. 11. -f of ilu* Wage-Workers* I'olitieal Alliance of Washington a hill "in tljolish Inii?llordisni and for t?llic?r i?ur|?os??s.* , This hill provide- thai the tenant ??f any proper! \ oiuiv draw his warrant. on tho Iryasnirer of the I'liiled Stales for two hundred times tin-amount paid hy the tenant during the pro( reeding month, which .-houhl con ( stitutea first mortgage on the property in favor- of the t niled States. This is to he considered as full pav* r . . t uient to the owner, who is to he 1111j prisoned for life if lie refuses to accept the warrant as legal tender. ^ The tenant is to repay the governI inent at. the end of thirty years. The idea of this summary method of abolishing landlordism seems to he taken from the ^Vshhourne act foi the relief of Irish tenants, hut it , goes much further. The Ashbourne ] act does not make the sale compulsory on the part of the landlord, nor 1 does it \i*nt him wit h Mich a tronton j , dous penally for refusing to part wilji hi.s property. It. bases the price of the land upon the yearl\ . rent, makes a reduction on that rent and gives the tenant forty-nine years to repay t ho government t he "money i ( that ha.- heen loaned him, adding interes! at the rate of four percent. , Ihit every Irish tenant has a certain property right in his farm other , than that. of the landlord, ami may . t: ! .1 . ? Mi.-^jusr hi mar right to another without asking the landlord's per-! mission. This tenant right is the (government's security in lending t he money to.buyout the farm in fecsimplc, and the government ha- further security in the unexhausted, revenues derived from t he demit ion, ali/.tition of the Church of Kugland in Ireland." It will he observed, . therefore, that tho hill of thv W ageWorkers1 Political Alliance of Wash. ington is niueh more thorough than the Knglish Ashbourne hill,although , it may he possible that the AnieriI can landlord who is to be dispossess: ed gets a fair value for his property. We cite those several hills now be. lore Congress not for the purpose of comment, or with am belief that t either of them will pass, but as showing how the lavish expenditure of government money in some directions is leading to demands for further expenditures in others, and how under the present* regime, we are drifting into paternalism and ecu: Indication.'"
