THE INDIANA STATTE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1876.

"WEDNESDAY, NOVEMDEIt 20.

THE ISSUE. The very latest adrice from Washington leave no room for doubt or controversy. The United States of America are on tho eve of a revolution. In South Carolina a decided effort was made by the supreme court to maintain a government of law against physical force. It has signally failed. Fraud has triumphed, or will triumph, if military force can avail. Grant's order to sustain Chamberlain U conclusive. Caesar has issued his edict, lie hau crossed the Rubicon. The telegram that conveys tha information is the death-knell of American liberty. The great heart of the nation ceases iU pulsations while it reads and listens. If there was ever a demand for crape. now is the time. Let muffled drums beat the funeral march of liberty. Fraud deep, premeditated and damning is guarded by federal bayonets. Court are overthrown. Law lies prostrate beneath the iron heal of a despot. The time is now at hand for calm councils. If the country ha patriots let them come forth and apeak. If liberty is not dead it ahould now stand up and be strong. If there are great and grand words he epoken, in God's name let them uttered now. This is not the .time kp vaporing. Every man in America shoulu ,vel that he is an ironclad patriot, a single tui.,,ml monitor on a stormy eea, watching to givt one broad side for freedom before he sinks fore...r(,t of sight.

ACTIO.

It would be diabonct to disguise the fact

that the public mlntl is feverish; it is filled with painful forebodings; there is unrest everywhere. The music in the air is not as mellifnuous as Sabbath chimes. Never before in the history of the country could it be said that the liberties of the jeopIe were imperiled. A calm and dispassionate surrey of the situation is f the first iniportance. Discarding elaboration, what is it? Tilden and Hendricks are elected by a fair majority of the electoral voie and an. overwhelming popular vote. Grant and other radical manners contem- , plale reversing the will of the people. 1 roops are ordered where they can overshadow the ba?Lt-Lox with bayonets. Boards of canvassers and returning board. deliberately plot frauds and carry theni Into execution with tho approval of the administration. The programme i., by the employment of physical force, to compel the people to siiIh mit to an unparalleled outrage. In view of these facts the domocratic state central committee of Ohio urges, by a series of resolutions, the importance of immediate action on the tort of the democratic central committees of other Mates, for the purpose of obtaining such an expression of public opinion as will aid congress in its deliberations when it assembles next Monday. The Ohio democrats have struck the keynote. Action is now demanded. Future ages will hold the democratic party responsible for supineness now. If what is now transpiring is not sufficient to arouse the American people, they are dead to every impulse of liberty, to every Inspiration that distingtUehe a free man from a slave. What is required? Action. If the American people are not dumb driven cattle, they will act and speak. If the voice of the people is the voice of God, then, in the name of all that Americans cherish, let God peak. Call the people together. If central committees have any power, any discretion, any tnnuence.now is the time for their manifestation. Central com mit tees have power. They are authorized to speak to ' take the initial steps, to suggest the programme of action, to set the example. If there Is no danger, say so. They are the sentinels on duty. They are to tell tbe people "What 'of the night," and they will le hold responsible if they are derelict. The Philadelphia Times publisher such querries as the following: Will there be war? The Washington eorrefpondf nt of ttie Jtew York Tribune write letter beaded "A Perilous Time," that Li calculated to alarm business men, and I conUrm that I am mucli perplexed an to haw to et In transtictlonH which to me are Important. Do you think that trouble Ls probable, and, If so, how can we escape it? To these inquiries the Times proceeds to reply and commences by saving what it does i

not know, that ''there will be no war." But in pursuing the subject the Times reaso sufficient for a dozen wars. says, amour, other things: , .'

dictatorial power In case of adi.juted electiou and the absence of a du!v rccogniz-d adinlnlst ration. There would be the severest strain upon the rKw-r of Hll-itoverniiient to preserve itself, and both national and business credit would be Impaired to an evtent that must produe, wiiiesprt ad bankruptcy but there would brs no violence: no war. The Mnsnnilon of death would settle on the country until the supreme tribunal of enlightened aud patriotic public opinion can ns eual to the task of renthromng Juxticw aud law as the jewels of our authority. This may be very pretty writing, but is nevertheless the language of a serf. Such talk as that in the days "that tried men's souls' would have been regarded as the paltry platitudes of a tory to gain time. It supposes the reign of a despot, universal death, and a willing acquiescence of freemen. It is the language of a man sold body, soul and breeches to bondholders a creature who has no rugged opinion of one who dare not say in the face of heaven, though every luminary were a shooting star, "I am a man." It is, in effect, saying after all there is nothing I wouli not barter for life. It is utter forgetfulness of such heroes as' 1'atrick Henry and John Adams. It does not propose that for liberty and the blessings of liberty to pledge life, fortune and sacred honor. Our voice is for council in this supreme hour of peril. We would have the people come tqgether in their sovereign capacity and delilerate.. We do not mince matters. We are not looking to he 4th of March or after the 4th of March the evil of the present.

well as an army; there are courts as well ns forts; there are hearts

will be heard pleading for the right, though

Grant, in the insanity of despotism, like an angel of death, makes every hou.-e in the land a house of mourning. The present is the time to call the people together a time

for calm deliberation. If the state central

committee will issne the call the people

"Will come as the waves come when navies

are stranded.

And their voice will be as the winds when

fo-.sti are rended. Shall we have the call?

TCLKS() OF THE KANTERN CRISIM.

Now that i'tp .seemingly critical state of

thing? brought beut by the movement? in

the revolted provinces of Turkey, has lasted

long enough to imprest its influence upon

the course of European diplomacy, some in

structive inferences may be drawn from the

attitude of the various powers in pres

ence of the impending dar. One fact which appears at thi moment with a clearness altogether novel in these later years is

worth noting with considerable insistence. It is that when this perennial eastern qt.et?on is stripped of all extraneous issues and re

duced to a bare statement of the points at issue, it remains the. same from generation to generation and from century to century.

The progress of civilization and the growth

of modern notions of international right and

justice have somewhat masked the main elements in the dispute during its long pe

riod of qui eseenee; hut in the critical moment of its probable renewal by armed force they re-appear with startling distinctness

The main, essential, almost sole important

elements in the eastern question those which brought the dispute into being, have kept it alive through a series of generations

and have given it new life in this very year, are two Russian greed of conquest and

English commercial jealousy. For more

than a century past, an abiding lust after

Constantinople and the command of the

Black sea has been the strongest national feeling in Russia, and for the same time the traditional English policy lias been to make

almost all questions of state policy subordinate to the great question of protecting

from all present or possible encroachtnen her Indian possessions and the route thereto.

These two national qualities, esentially

selfish and grasping as they are, have been somewhat softened and masked for a long series of yars, during which the eastern dis-

pute has seldom assumed great 3mjortance, but they hate never disapjeared, and still

form the groundwork of contention. Russia

will still exhaust her armies and her treas-

ury.after all the resources of diplomacy have

failed, to feed he greed of territorial con-

est. England will still strenu

ously plot and scheme, and, if necessary, hold heNelf in readiness to fight to preserve her route to India and

the commercial supremacy uon which all

her importance is founded. Any other pretended element in the dispute, any other pretext for. interference in the a f Pair of

Turkey on the part of either Kjssia or Eng

land, are the baldest pretense. The aspiration for freedom and unification on the part

of the revolted provinces are a featu-e in the

situation. I'anslavism as a hope and a more or lese distant dream among the scat

tered peoples of the lower Danube is

filed fact. Hut these are minor

considerations in the great issue. They are

but a cloak to Russian designs, sis the

Christian provinces are but puppets in workiug out Russian plan. Ho on the other hand, England's specious pleas about the

balance of power, preserving the integrity

of European states and succoring a weak and

oppressed nation, but serve to disguise tl

national fear that sees danger to th Asiatic trade in Russian Success tn-on the Clack

sea. IIiWHian Hist of a,lu" anu r.ngnn

trading jealous stiU the two inovimj

causes tb- keep European diplomats in a

fever pon the eastern question.

- lTiia fact is made most clear by events of

the last few weeks. The traditional policy

of England, wan obxeured for a time by tbe popular indignation over, .the JJulgariad atrocities, und Mr. Gladstone was for a supposal to express the sentirnents of the nation in his fenid appeals for justice to the Christian population of -Turkey.' . But the persistent adherence of Lord Derby to the old time policy, fortified by the. recent

I vigorous ieech of Disraeli, indicates that

the ministry .will not be moved from their purpose,' and that England will still be ready to take up arms, in the language of her statesmen, "to 'preserve a sister state from spoliation" in 'the language of common sense, to save English trade from a possible interruption. Ho with Rusmu. Her fervid protestations of sympathy for Turkish subjects of her own race and religion deceive no one. Her designs are as selfish as England's. Constantinople is the goal of her desires, as the Asiatic trade is of England's. Neither has relinquished nor will relinquish its national hopes of the century past nntil crowned with ultimate success or crushed under hopeless defeat SEXATOB BOGY, OF MlSSOCIil. OV TIIENITIATIOX. A few evenings since Senator Eog-, of Missouri, was invited to deliver an address before the Young Men's democratic association of St. Louis. In the course of his remarks the Missouri senator declared that Tilden and Hendricks had been fairly and honestly elected, and added: It Is possible, however, that he may ba prevented from taklns; or occupying that position, and In that event what will le tho condition of the country? It is the duty of every citizen to look at this question as tne most serious ever presented to him In his capacity as an American Citizen. The day has gone by when meretalklrigandspeeehesttliat were very proper Itefore the election, should be Indulged in, and the time has arrived when this great question must brt mt soberly, seriously, and with great firmness. This is a crisis in the history of this nation, and as the very frame-work of the Kovernment rests upon the people, It Is thHrduty, noteimply tlieir right, to imet the crisis as sober, llilnkir.i? peopl-of this great republic. I am not unaware of the great rcHponsibllity resting: upon me. I feel that, as a senator from the great state of Missouri, much devolves upon m. However feeble my capacity may be, I occupy the position of seuator, and it becomes my duty to represent you, if not with Kreat ability, at least with nuVlity. I Ix-lieve that if the men in both 1iou-h of congress will rise above party ami face this question as rep-resr-ntutlves of the American people, the solution is very easy as it Is plainly provided for In the twelfth amendment to the constitution of the United States. Whether the mem-b-rs will Sustain my opinion on tills point I can't s!y, neither am I able to say they will not. We are on the verge of a great abyss, so deep that no human eye can see the bottom, ami tho opposite shore is so fiir thnt no mind can comprehend Its distance, , The slightest shock will plunge this great republic o all ugeainto this deep abvss, and nothing can save us but the fidelity of our public men and the honesty and firmness of nur citizens. Senator Eogy. is a d, calculating man. Enthusiasm pcr obscures his judgment. He looks at things from a business as well as from a political standpoint. He is entirely familiar with all the facts bearing upon the situation, lie is well advised in regard to the drift of events, and he says, "We arc on 'the verge of a great abyss so deep that no 'human eye can see the bottom, and the op'posite shore is so far that no mind can com'prehend its distance." Such is the language of a United States senator on the eve of the meeting of congress.

THE II4YEH RETREAT. The special dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer indicating the withdrawal of Governor Hayes from the presidential contest, will attract attention. We do not fully credit it It may be true, however. It is barely possible that Governor Hayes has lifted himself above his party; above its

chicanery and frauds; above its lies and its

perjuries, to the plane occupied by patriots and honest men. If he has done tliis; if to him to be right is better than to le president; if he had rather be an honored private citizen than a

dishonored official; if in this hour of peril he

turns k is back upon the infamous gang of radical scoundrels who are trying to make him a monumental and a centennial fraud; if he has the nerve to rebuke Grant for his reicatel acts of df stotism if Governor Hayes

can do these things he is a hero. We fear he

has not the pluck for such noble work.- John Sherman, it is true, saw the fraud the Louisiana returnirg board attempted to perpetrate. The entire country is now well advised that the returning board is a stupenduous fraud, and it is possible that he may have advised Governor Hayes that his case is hopeless. Evidently the Louisiana affair affords a capital opportunity for Hayes to retire, and for the republican party to assert that it has some regard for honesty left. Itut the managers have been so long addicted to crooked ways that we fear Hayes can not break away from their toils, and will be compelled, against his convictions and better judgment, to be their tool.

THE INELIGIBLE ELECTORS.

nni tnMfrunfiM or t.irruou puwuiu Betilven to Tlieir Uppauents.

To the Editor of the Sentinel :

Sir Much has been said br the press, and

the oninions of eminent lawvers. itdges and

attorney generals have been herslded over

the nation upon the mode of supplying the

the electoral votes In the ste wnere uis-

inalitied ttersons have been voted for; and

in all discu&sions of the object there seems

to have been an oversight of ,the true prem

ise from which sound argument

Should proceed. The federal eonstitution civ ' the several states the

iower of choosing electors "in such

manne as ttie legislature thereof nutf direct;" that is to say, the several states

have simply the power to determine upon a mode of seiectinr the electors, and in pur

suing that mode, as it may be prescribed by

their legislatures, lies the power of the peo

ple, and the question of tke- fitness of a per

son to act as an elector is not left entirely to them. To a certain extent that legislative power is expressly limited, leaving it beyond the power of the states yo pass laws which would qualify a "senator or representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United Hutes," Tor the holding of the office of elector. The constitution provides that, while the Hates have this power of choice, yet in the exercise of it no person holding such position under, the United States "shall be appointed an elector." This is a lair construction of th' letter of - this consätutional provision, and it would next seem of the highest importance in arriving at a proper analysis of th question to go one step farther back and inquire into the reason and spirit of the pro

vision and why it wa deemed necessary by its f miners. This authority is found in the language of . a learned commentator upon the federal constitution: 'The reason why the legislature of such state Iim this appointing Hucr is owins to the tenf that the

! wisdom and potiiotism oftli 13 lAnnr.

able ml responsible body will apjxit no one an elector but him who is eminently qualified for an honorable and faithful discharge of tnis-patriotic duty, as they have the full means ot" knowing the character and qualifications of her citizens, who. taost likely, would honestly perform this branch of public service; and that those elector may be relieved from the discharge of any public responsibility but this, and entirely free from temptation to do wrong through partiality or prejudice toward the candidate for president or vice president, it is wisely provided in this clause that no senator or representative in congress, or person holding an office of trustor profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector." "It may, howover, have been a part of the policy of the provision quoted to prevent the employment of federal patronage in a state election." (15 Cat.,) 121. The reasons for this provision are sound and ample. That in selecting and voting for disqualified iersons, both the " letter and the spirit of the constitution have been grossly violated there can be no doubt, and the same might well be said of an act of the legislature which would qualify a disqualified person who had been chosen to such ofiice. The ofhee of postmaster is one "of trust or profit tinder the United States;" he hold.' the ofhec under the iarty in power when chosen elector and his subsequent election .would not muk him entirely free from the temptation to do wrong through partiality or prejudice toward the candidates for president and vice

president of Ihe same political faith of that

party under which he held his othee. In

addition to this, as has been urged by the leading democratic papers, the choice of the

elector is one made bv the neonle when cast

ing their ballots and in this the people give him all the lxiwer that begets and no sub

sequent act of his will increase his jHiwtn

to hold the olncc nor change the power that the eople have given him; the people in these instances have delegated their full

TK)vcrs to tiersons disqualified from accept

ing it. The legislatures in thee states might, probably, have endeavored to provide

for the emergency which has arisen, if such an unfortunate condition of affairs kad been

antic iated, but the constitutional pro

vision itself seemed a sunicient safeguard,

and as Deiore intimated, there is

a serious doubt if such an act

would not be in controveniion of the lettrr

and the spirit of the constitution. Itut this

question is not material, as it was not

thought necessary by these states in tlieir

cooler moments to provide for a contin

gency that was already provided for. It was

never considered possible for it to arise. The

great wonder is that it was possible in those

great states, in the selection ot four or five officers that vast conventions of wise men

should select disqualified men and without a thought of the great compact that hinds

mis union.

The constitution provides that "each state shall appoint, in such manner as the

.legislature thereof may direct" Under this

provision of course it could be provided by state laws for the filling of vacancies. These

states have not provided by enactments that the unlawful holding of an office creates a vacancy; that it does not create a vaenpey or that a subsequent removal of the obstacle to his legal holding will render hi holding of the ofiice legal; in short, there is no statute regulating the difficulties. In the absence of a statute npon the subject, common law and common sense should guide us out. A common sense view of it would be that the holding of the office legally or illegally is not the question, but has the person been legally chosen to the office, ami can a person be said to be the legally chosen officer who is not eligible, who is nt competent, and in whom he people are expressly prohibited by the constitution from making a choice. It follows that these states either lose the electors entirely, or that the democratic candidates should be declared the legitimate choice of the people. The states can not lose their full vote; one or

the other ol the candidates has been chosen.

und the one that is eligible to the office,

and consequently capable of being chosen, would, naturally, scent the projer jeron to hold the office, and not the person

who is incapable of being a legitima'e

choice. While he holds an olflce of trust or

profit as to being chosen to any other office, he stands on the same footing with one who is disfranchised and in making (he

choice in either the spirit of the -constitu

tion has been violated. A common law

view of it would be. that in the absence of a

statute and without a decision of the court

of this country we should go to the law of England, the very foundation stoitf of American law, and if the question there settled we are in duty bound to accept i t as it is there decided. Tie Enssh rule m that the candidate receiving he minority vote, if eligible, is elected over the uneligible candidate who received a majority of the vote, and a subsequent resignation does not remove the causes of dis qualification. Tb lc ha 'J adopted by the courts this country, where they have had X occasion to act upon the queon. except m isconsin. and tlre the bench was divided Attorney General Taft argues that su h slild not be the rule; that "the fundamental rule with us is that the majority shall rule, and that an election is the delib

erate choice of a majority of a plurality ot the electors, and any doctrine which opens the wsy for the minority rule in any case is anti-republican." He admits that the English authorities are contrary to bis opinion of the lawsof thiscountry.but he fails to it the decisions of the state! of Oregon, California and Indiana, to show what the doctrine in this country is, as fir as adjudicated upon, and if, as he says, the English rule " would be entirely antagonistic to our institutions," in favoring tbe minority rule in any case, what would Mr. Tft's opinion tie as to the election of Tolk, Buchanan and Lincoln, and the effort of his radical friends to give Mr. Hayes the electiou over a popular majority of three hsndred thousand. JLJH. Shelbyville, Ind.. Nov. 25, H7G. W. R. 8. Ralston, the best English author ity on Russia, and the leadimr writer on the subject, generously writes to the English journals thst "the best book ever written about Russia" is now in press. It ''is the work of V. Mackenzie Wallace, a scholar who has spent nearly six years in Russia, studying the various! nstitulions of the land and the most important questions respecting its historical past, social present and liiical future, with the most patient and well directed industry. I will undertake to say, from personal knowledge, both of the writer and of his book, that it will be the most important contribution ever made to the deiiartment of Russia iu the Imperial Public library at St. Petersburg the section, that is to say, devoted to books written by foreigners about Russia. I may even add that it will be accepted bv most intelligent Rus

sians as : oil of th most valuable ai4s offered

of late yeirs to their knowVedf their own

country,"., ... Vi .

AST IXTEKX ATIONAL COURT Estitbllfthed In F.ffypt by the Khedive to Nnr JaMt.ee t Forclirnen. London Standard. The ruler of Egypt, anxious to take a step in advance, and bring his country on something like a level with European states, lomr sought to anolish the network of

awkward, and embarrassing consular ju-

idiction, and institute Egyptian

ciwriV, where foreigners rmcm oe sure f even-handed justice and fair play. The difficulty was to get the great powers to believe all this. The means adopted to se-

ure their confidence and tüonsent were sim,le, but efficacious. The new "Egyptian ourts" were to be so little Egyptian that

the adjective was virtually a misnomer.

They wear a costum .specially designed for the new judge consisting of a broad green scarf, gold medal, red cap, and black Stamlxiulina coat. Of the seventy advocates who are ad mitt ed to practice before the court, ome forty were present in their black gowns, "white bands, and " black square cap. Itehind them came the public, Egyptian tarbouches, tu roans, and eastern roljeu, relieving the black coats of the Eurojeans, and the whole scene was both imposing and picturesque 'the grandest spectacle, said an old resident in the east 'I have ever witnessed in the Ottoman empire, when one thinks what it means and what it promise for the future of Egypt.'

As a Bates street saloon keeper was yesterday morning wishing that some one would come in and at Ter to bet him one to five that the temperance ticket would be elected, a well dressed stranger walked in, lit his old cigar stub at the pas jet, and then said: " My name is Deerfield. I have just purchased a residence here, and I am about to establish a wagon shop, employing 3,000 men." " Well, that's good." replied the man behind the bar. "I always patronize Home one's saloon," continued Mr. Deerfield.

"I operate In this way," säid the ktranger, wnking his voice little: "I enter a saloon, as 1 have yours, ask To bottle of wine and a box of cigars, and then alk out without paying. If called back, I san that I am absent minded. .If allowed to go, i bend the man a check for $500, give him diamond pin on Christmas and allow him to. make 30 per cent, profit on all bills. I'll go out, wait till I see tflree or four fellow in there, and then I'll come in, after my usual style. You must pretend aHonishment, and it will be as good as a side thow for the crowd." The bar tender's lower jaw had been stead ily falling all the whilr. and when the stranger ceased speaking a dark shadow stole along the counter and made a nuh for Mr. Ieerfield, and reached the outnide door only a foot behind him. Mr. Deerfield didn't return to carry out his programme.
