T. W. 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.

when the lite of the nation was in

turned out because a civil war and a
Cameron in olliee wre more than the ,
country could sustain. Hut this gray
and palsied politician lias not died, j
lie has been sued for breach of prom

that is usually held in esteem by j

a career remarkable lor its length ami

adopted the following resolution in

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*

Tlie Open 1'olar Sea.
Admiral Porter lias written a 'loiter
loCapl. Ilowgalc regarding bis proposed
eXpediluni. In it Im says: "In 1
my opinion there is an open sea for
200 miles tow ard ilie pole; ihai t here <
urn high mountains, Iroin which arc
pieeipilaled the icebergs which lately
block d up Unhcsoii'a Channel, and !
thai, bad Markbam's larilicsl point!
been exceeded by Go miles, ihe pack I
would have been passed and open
water reached again Every tew <
years we most expect just such a pack
as Cnpt. Kurcs encountered, which ,
will probably last tor u year or two I
and villi tlnu Meak up. ll, ;*t tlie?
moment I breaking up, men and boats
are in readiness to take advantage
d( the opportuniiy, a great advance
could he made toward lite pole." The
letter continues in substance that the
greatest iliH'ciilty will he found in
keeping up the spirits o' the men. To
do iIda ;he admiral suggests tlmt each
member of the crew selected Khali
have a knowledge ot some useful mechanical
trade, and that lie lie kept
occupied at this when in winter quarI
era. "In the event of such an expedn
ion an yon propone," the lettet continues,
"I see a tine opportunity of
utilizing the eh-cnio telegraph. NVirea
could t?e I.tid along on the ground of
ice without miicU danger ot ilici^feoing
carried otl' '?y hears or loxes." In conclusion
the admiral slates dial lie can
nee no objection to the proposed expo*
dilion, and hopes it may succeed.

A gentleman undertook la?t Sunday

by observing that there wero
some very great men in the world.
"For instance," said lie, "the Gover- ...

Now, all ol you who have ever seen
i lie Governor ol Kentucky, slam) up.";.Seven
children arose. "Hut," continued,
"there is even a greater man
tban the Governor ol Kentucky, That
in ill is 1'iesidciit ol the United States.
I low many of you have ever seen tho
President ol the United States?" Two
children arose. "Now," the speaker
proceeded, dropping Ins voice to a solemn
key, "there is some one even
greater than the President ol the United

Webster ami the Driver,^

* * ?
On oiift occasion, Daniel Webster
was on his way to Ins duties at Washington.
He was compelled to proceed
at night hy stage from Baltimore,
lie had no traveling companions, and
the driver had a sort ol lelon look,
which produced considerable alarm
with the Senator. "I endeavored to
trampiihzv* mysell," ss'd Mr. Webster,
''and had paitially succeeded, When
we reached I be dark woods between
Blidensbnrg and Washington, (a
proper scene lor a murder or outrage,)
ami here, I oonless, my courage again
deserted me. Just then the driver
turned toward me, and with a rough
\ oioe inipired my name. I gave it to
him ''
'Where are you going?" said he.
The reply was, "To Washington. I
am ? Seiulor."
Up n this the driver seized him fervently
by the hand and exclaimed,
' I low glad I am! I have been trembling
in my seat for iho last ball liour;
lor when I looked at you I look you
to be a high way man."
Of course both parties were relieved.
