A BLOW BETWEEN THE EYES.

In the Sentinel of July 13th we publi hed a letter of Judge Jere Black reviewing the action of the 8 to 7 Electoral Commission Tti the la t North American Review, E. W. Stoughton, one of Hayes’ counsel before the electoral commission, and late appoin «• tee to the Russian court, attempts a reply. We regret that that we have neither time nor space to copy the retort of Judge B. iu full, and must therefore content ourself with the extracts given below. The Judge begins by telling the gentleman that if th* re is any defense of the gieat fraud he is not the person to make it, and after dealing him a blow for using abusive language in his argument, tells him that he will give some reasons for his opinion, and take the chances of making him comprehend them. In relation to an acquesence in the decision of the commission lie says: We cO’tdd not refuse to abide by the award without being guilty of bad faith. We do not now assert the in justice of it with any view to reverse or modify it. You need not fear the stability of that award, however iniquitous you may know it to be. You can enjoy its fruits in perfect security, and we the people will on our part “perform the vows which we have vowed before the Lord,” however much it may be “to our own hurl.” But to acquiesce without a protest -to * onfess tacitly that the wrong is right and th« evil a good- that is out of the question. In discussing the whole subject with great plainness of speech; we not only obey an impulse, but perform a duty.

It may be that we ought not to have spoken out in h irshteinis of e< nsuii, or said anything to disturb the sere; - it.V of the knaves who did us thi- ter- I lible injustice lint if you ate not 1 altogether blind you must see that ! this was, in our situation, ship ly im- j possible. Here was a great na ion | which had suffered by misgovei nment t more than any other under the sun— ; her property taxed almost to conlis- ' < ation —her industry crushed to the , ' arth—her public domain squandered ; away—her best citizens starving by I tie hundred thousand in the midst of 1 the plenty which their own 1 ad produced, while corruption wa reve - mg in high places and fattening on i the general distress. The people de - I termined to reform the adnrmistra- | lion of their public affairs,and restore I heir own prosperity by choosing rid- ' era whom they could trust for that j purpose. They expressed their will j to that effect legally, constitutionally and peacefully, and they were defeated by an impudent swindle. Is it any wonder that the great heart of the emocraey swelled with indignation? Even if their feelings Mund vent in language too passionate, you ought to remember, with Burke, that, “something must be pardoned to the spirit of liberty.” We invite particular attention to points given below jon a very vital question upon which the radical press is constantly misleading, viz: th t the commissioners had no right to go b< - hind the returns.’ The statement of ■ lie case is clear, unequivocal, miff latic, and cannot be controverted. Judge . lack says: The eight commissioners and the counsel on their s.de tried to frame a weak excuse for this dereliction of duty by reasoning thus; Congress gave the commission no power but what the two houses might have exercised themselves; tile two houses had no authority to revise ejection returns from any state; ez-j/o, the commission must receive a false, fraudulent and void certificate as if it were a real return, true and valid. In this .syllogism, the premises, mojor and nunor are unsound,and the conclusion is a non sequitur. Congress /ms power, clear and unquestionable, not ro revise the action of the state authorities for the purpose of correcting their mere errors, but to ascertain whether ft paper pretending to be a return is a real return or a fraud. If the two houses are to count the votes i hey must have the verifying power which enables them to determine what tire votes and what are not. A fraud or a forgery is not a vote. This verifying power was delegated to the .ommissiou with directions to ascertain by it who were duly appointed, ihe majority did not decline to < x r »dse the power; they assumed ii, took it and executed it, but they misused, and abused it so as not to verily, but io falsify the vote. WHAT THE EIGHT COMMISSIONERS DID. The electoral commission was constituted with authority clearly defined to determine a ceriain controverted matter of fact,to-wit: Whether Kellogg and his seven associates had been duly appointed electors by the people of Louisiana or not. To fliamtain the affirmative side ol that issue, t he certificate of the returning board was alone relied upon. The eight commissioners, against the solemn protest of their seven brethren, accepted that certificate, and held it to be good, nay conclusive, proof of th 3 fact averred, although it was, and thev knew it to be, not only tainted, but aturated through and through with the most, atrocious fraud, and therefore as corrupt in morals ami as void in law as the nukedest forgery that ever was made. Thus it came to pass that this great cause, involving the title to the. highest office in the republic, was determined falsely upon evidence which no justice of the peace would receive iu a suit for the price of two sheep. In one of the regular courts of tie country, upon a trial for land or money, the mere offer of such evidence by counsel, knowing its real ebaiacter, would be extremely dangerous. lj would not only be rejected, but the guilty counselor would be punished, uot in the same way (for there is a technical difference), but. on the same principle that courts punish the utterance of counterfeit money. To pollute the administration of justice by passing false and fraudulent documents upon a court is, indeed, very much worse than “shoving the queer” upon a shop-keeper Of course the wicKedness of all this depends on the scienter. Involuntary ignorance would no an excuse. But ine corrupt character of this certill cate was known to all the world, and being a public fact thejcommlssioners as well as everybody else wore bound to know it; besides that the evidence was exhibited to their eyes; iheir rejection of it assumed it to be true: and they expressly ruled that no proof of fraud, however clear, would diminish the value of the false paper

in their estimation. So far as lam informed they have never pretended to be ignorant of the fact that this vote was the offspring of a fraudulent conspiracy nor have they denied the E w which makes it void for that reason. There is. therefore, nothing for it Hit to leave their reputation for judicial integrity, as Bacon left his; ’’To foieign countries, to fufure ages, and to men’s charitable speeches." Stoughton will not desire to provoke another retort from Judge Jere Black.

AN IMPORTANT OPINION.

The Attorney General Decides that the Law Fixing the Eleetion of Trustees in April is Constitutional. Indianapolis, Nov. 7,1877. Dear Sih--Your letter of the sth inst. has been received and considered. The act approved March 3d, 1877, (Acts Beg. Sess , p. 58.) provides for the election of township officers on the first day of April, 1878, and every second year thereafter. The supreme court has repeatedly decided that when i.n office has been created by the legislature that body has the power to lengthen or abridge the term thereof. (See Walker vs. Feelie, secretary, etc., 18 Ind., 483. See also 2 Parsons on Contracts, p. 5.2. The only township officers whose offices are created and the length of the term thereof defined in our (State constitution are justices of (See article 7, section 14: artfdle 6, section 3.) Four years is the length of the term for justices of the peace as defined in the constitution. In my opinion the legislature possesses the power to abridge the terms of all township officers other than justices of the peace; and the act of March 3, 1877. aforesaid, manifestly provides for the election of their successors next April, and that they shall qualiy and take possession of office in ten nays thereafter. So far as the office of justice of the peace is concerned, I think that said act. does not abridge their terms of office i or ehangv the time when their ceessors shall take possession of office, but it simply changes the time for their e ection 'from Octofer to the April i receding. Very respectfully etc., C. A. Buskirk, Att’y Gen l.

An Experiment for Boys.

Take two empty oyster cans and a .-tout, smooth suing. Let a hole be made in the bottom of each cun, thro’ which the string, say iii’ty or one h ind.ed feet in length, is passed and secured. Then let the experimenters set up their talking telegraph by choosing their stations as far apart as the tightly stretched string will permit. and while one of the operators holds his ear to one of the cans, and liis companion his mouth to the can of the other end of the line, they will fiml that a conversation cun be carried on so that low tones and e ven a whisper will be distinctly perceptible. What usually most astonishes those who make this experiment for the first time, is that the sound of the voice does not seem to come from the person speaking at the other end of the string, but to issue from the can itself , which is held to the ear of the listener. This at first appears to be a deception, but it is really not so. The ear tells the exact truth. The voice that is heard really comes from the can that is held to the ear of the hearer. Ihe voice of the speaker communicates sound-producing vibrations to the walls of the can with which his voice is In immediate contact. These vibrations are communi cuted to the string, Lut so changed that they no longer affect the ear. A person may stand bv the string while the sound is passing, and yet hear nothing. At the other end of the string, however, these vibrations re produce themselves as sound.

A Bkautifvl Household Pl\nt.— . The Calla Lily, roots of which maybe procured of any florist, is one of our finest plants for house-growing, when | properly treated. The best method we have tried is to procure an earthen i jar—suitably decorated on the out- ; side if desired, by painting or pasting 'on of frieze or flower pictures, or by ! a paper open-work covering. In tiffs ’ place rich mould somejilve or six i inches deep, and in this set the Calla i plant. Now put on the top of this mould a layer of clean, coarse and small pebbles. Then fill the jar with water, an I replace as evaporated, so as to always have the water several inches dt en above the pebbles. Place ! in a warm and sunny window, and the ; plant will throw up large, luxuriant i leaves to be followed by the magnificent bloom. What is still better, the I flower stalks will be sent up in a sucI cession so as to afford a nearly con- | tin nous series of flowers. AfewminI nows introduced into the water will thrive without further care, and as- ; ford a pleasing study.

Ail Indian at Monte.

Tuscarora Mining Review. A couple of local sports engaged an Indian in a monte game. The g. me ran along very quietly, the Indian apparently not caring which way it went Pretty soon one of the locals turned up as a ‘lay out” a five spot and a seven. The Indian piled up $2.50 on i.he five, and the deal went on. The five won ; Indian let the $5 stand until the five won again, when he took down the winnings. The third five won; the Indian picked up his coin, having won $12.50 on the deal, and quit the game, remarking; “Whita man he dam smart-;” at the. same time throwing down the other three sevens which belonged to the deck.

the Occasion of the Row.

Louisville Courier-Journal. Last week, at a negro gathering in Henderson county, three men undone woman were sliced up with razors and one man shot in the leg and arm. A gentleman with an African brogue explained to the reporter that ‘Sp, colored lady from Hopkinsville war de kashun ob all datrow.” On the 25th of October Gineral Judson Kilpatrick told a. correspondent that General McClellan would certainly be defeated, because a secret organization of working-men had resolved to vote against him. It must have betn a very secret organization, indeed. The Ginoral appears to be a prophet as well as a soldier with )ut honor in his own country. On the fly-leaf of an old singing Hook among the relies old Christ Church, at Boston, is written: “Major Pitcairn’s compliments to the headsinger. with a request that she will not sing quite so loudly, as it is impossible for him to sleep-” This was the British officer whoiigured against the Ame-ican yeomanry at Concord ami Lexington. Temperance Meeting at Presbytenap Church next Monday evening. - See programme on next page.

The work is progr.ssing finely on the Railroad. We understand tracklaying commenced on the 20th, on the first division from Bradford to Rensselaer. Some ten car loads of iron have already arrived. We hope the friends of the RR. will do their duty in Newton township next Monday, the 26th, and vote the tax by a large majority. We are informed a report is being circulated to the effect that if the tax is voted it will be collected immediately. Such is not the fact. The first installment—and that only one per cent. —cannot be collected before April 10th, 1879. The people will, therefore, have the use of the road I efore the tax is to pay.

I take great pleasure in informing the citizens of Rensselaer and vicin ity that I have rented the room over Kannal’s Drug Store, and intend doing’ all kinds of work pertaining to Photography. Enlarging pictures a specialty. Pictures in Crayon, India Ink and Watt r Color. If you have the picture of a departed friend, which you esteem j s a cherished keepsake, and wish it enlarged or colored, do not entrust it to a traveling agent until you see our work. Remember! we can do the work for less than parties who employ agents at large salaries. Besides, by having your work done at home there is no danger of your pic ture getting lost or damaged, which is often the case when sent away. So bring along your pictures, no matter if they are faded, scratched or broken, and we promise you a good, bright picture in return. As we are doing coloring and India Ink work for artists in large places, we feel confident we can please all, and respectfully solicit your patronage in this line of

work.

Justice to All.

That is the motto of the New York Store. They have the prices marked on their goods in plain figures and will not vary from them. They propose to sell goods to ail races of people, disregardless of color or previous condition of servitude, great and small, old and young, rich and poor, at one and the same price. By this plan of doing business they can rest on a feather bed and go to sleep with a clear conscience. Willis J. Imes keeps the best brands of cigars.

No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of Goods FOR THE Fall and Winter trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose DURABILITY and PRICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States.
