THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MOBNING, JUNE 19, 1878.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13. Thk question cow if, caa a president be "daly elected" by fraud? Yinrx will Lize riafcBton, Mrat Halscead'a swamp angel, appear? -tToHN Shermas may fee impeached; let him go -an J join bis embesriing brother. The European cotares is in session bat it hasn't got a Potter investigating committee. A General Dent from the republican party will be in oe-?er soon concerning Flor ids. The Cincinnati Enquirer regards Hayes' title as "unalterable," and unhalterable also we suppose. In his next speech General Sherman should tell the country what he thinks of John Bherman and Judge Sherman. More than a sore of fraud, convicted and perjury cursed scoundrels, including John Bherman, wbe "helped to"duly elect" Hayee, Laye been rewarded with fat offices. Will Henri Watterson be required to tell about those "one hundred thousand unarmed Kentaekians" and the bursting of the "brass btwped democratic piggin"? It is rather cruel to blame John Sherman, as some do, for not coming to the reweae of Stanley Matthews." One sinking ship can not steam at a rapid rate to tbe aid of another craft in tfce tame deplorable condition Washington rout. Very naughty-cal. John Sherman's bow is now in order, and even Hayes stern ways ought to feel its effect. At a meeting of tbe directors of the Sentinel company, called at the instance of the president Thursday evening, Hon. John C Shoemaker tendered his resignation as president of tbe company, which was accepted, and John, J. Cooper, Esq , was thereupon elected to fill the vacancy. The demands of Mr. Shoemaker's private affairs upon his time prompted his resignation. It is due to all concerned to add that Mr. Shoemaker's management has been a financial success, and in every respect satisfactory to the ownership. Mr. John J. Cooper, who succeeds Mr. Shoemaker, is well known to the citizens of Indianapolis, and has an extensive acquaintance throughout the state, a thorough business man, and alive to the demand of the time. The Sentinel under hia control will not abate in the least its energy, but will be in the future as in the past the out spoken advocate of democratic principles, and in all matters fully abreast of the progress of events. There was a time when a great many pea pie In this country regarded William Tecum eh Bliermtn an a lunatic. We have never given in oar adhesion to that theory, but we are willing to declare that he la now open to the charge of being a fool. His recent soeech before the alamnl association at West Point, in extract from which is elsewhere gl-eo, stamps him at once as adlsiuiber and a man unfit to wield the baton of general. Alluding to the r OKKiMlity of an at'empt being made to disturb Mr. 'iayes' title, he declared that Mr. Hayes, although a mild-mannered gentleman, would be found to possess the nerve to maintain hi right if It was assailed, and that he would have the support of the army. It i time for thla loose-ton gued wan lor to be in formed that tbe taxtpayera of tbe country have hired him to kill people when they give him orders. His th rents are ent'rely out of place. It is alt well enough lor his brother John to talk about war and revolution, for he is proltnbly a criminal and his tail is in the trap. General Sherman's efforts t create th Impression that the Potter Investigation Is a declaration of war ahould be sternly deprecated. He ought to be locked up in the guard house until he ceases to be a disturber of the peace. Baltimore Gazette. When it is known that one brother of William Tecumseh had to step down and out because he had been guilty of an infamous crime, and nowthatanothvr brother has been caught in active and intimate com plicity with the most gigantic frauds that ever disgraced the American name, it becomes easy enough to understand why William T. puts on war paint and threatens blood. But the people are not likely to be intimidated further. The Potter investigation will proceed, and should the fact be mtde to appear that Hayes was knowing to the frauds that placed him in office, as he doubtless was, he will be Impeached in spite o William Tecumseh Sherman. THE PEOPLE AUD TOE FRAUD. It will not do mistake the temper of the American people at this critical juncture in political affairs. The Sentinel has at no t i me si nee Hayes was placed in office adm i tted that be was "duly elected," and since Samuel J. Ti.'den was "duly elected" by the . people the declaration becomes irrefrigable that Hayes' title is sot valid. It was not constitutionally obtained. On tbe contrary it was secured in direct violation of the sovereign rights of the American people, and in defiance of the roost sacred guarantees of that ' charter of American liberties. Under such circumstances it does not matter particularly what politicians resolve or what they say. The people have assume! control of the entire subject, and propose to investigate tbe fraud by virtue of which their rights have been cloven down, tear away the refuge of lies behind which each conspirators as Hayes has rewarded hav been skulking, and poniah them as their detestaole crimes demand. The resolutions passed by tbe house of representatives on the 14th inst were in all regards the outgrowth of defiant impudence on the part -of' the friends of radical conspirators and a limp, hesitating, timidity on the part of democrats, inconsiderate and inopportune and damaging V the best interests of the country. The ralicat conspirators, their apologists and defenders, had been caught in the grasp of their own damnable iniquities. John Sherman bad been humiliated before the whole people, confronted with a document which showed bis complicity ' with the Louisiana crimes his knees smote together like Belshazzar'g when the handwriting peonou?ed his doom. Stanley Matthews, an awkward combination of knave and fco blatherskite and conspirator, ass and assassin, the friend of Hayes and the boon companion of the red headed and red handed perjurer, Anderson, was made to realize the fact fbat la tU regards hi was a traitor

to truth and compelled to confess judgment in the presence of the senate. So guilty, Indeed, was he that he dared not submit to an examination by the Potter committee, and is to-day the most leprous creature that ever disgraced the senate chamber. In this supreme hour of triumpb.when all the outer works of the beetle browed, perjury cursed crew bad been beaten down; when the democrats were pourinj into the citadel of lies erected for the security of those who had lifted Hayes lnt power; when proof of fraud, forgery and perjury was being piled up; when Anderson was scattering documents with the damaging effect of nitro-glycerine, and McLln was confessing to the theft of Florida just at this time the radicals, with the desperation of fiends, wrung from the democratic hou e the confession that Hayes was "duly elect'ed," and that his title is secure. The people, whose servants the representatives are, do not believe the utterances of the house of representatives, and will not indorse them. The house of representatives of the Fprtythird congress "solemnly" declared that Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks were duly elected president and rice president of the United States for a term of four years, commencing on the 4th day of March, 1877. These declarations the people believe, and no amount of resolving will change their convictions upon the subject. It is possible indeed, it is probable that Hayes will remain in office until the expiration of the presidential term; not because he was "duly elected," but in defiance of constitution and law, right and justice, and to the eternal disgrace of the American people. Indiana democrats take precious little stock in the resolutions declaring Hayes "duly elected.' Hayes Is a presidential lie, a monument of the triumph of perjury over truth, and the people will see to it that their votes properly rebuke the monstrous libel which the house of representatives placed upon its records when it passed the resolutions of the judiciary committee.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. A very large class of business men are in the habit of consulting tables of imports and exports for the purpose of arriving at an approximately just conclusion with regard to the condition of business. The data is important and interesting, but not conclusive as to the activity or depression of business generally since there may be large exports with the balance of trade in our favor, and at the same tints widespread business depression; or their may be large importations, with the balance of trade against us, while on every hand there may be evidences of business activity, progress and prosperity. While these facts do not detract from the value of statistics bearing upon the foreign commerce of the country, they will be likely to prompt a careful fctudy of those forces which depress or vitalize domestic trade. It is authoritatively stated that the port of New York receives about two-thirds of all the goods landed in this country from foreign countries, and ships only a little less than half of all the expor a. With these statements in view, the reader will be able to intelligently analvze the following tables of imports and exports at tbe port of New York for eleven months ending with May, the first line giving the total for six months ending January 1: t'ORKIGN 1XI-OKT3 AT DEW YORK "OK ELGVKN months Exnnm mat 81. lX7tj. 1877. i 1S7H.

The exports of produce and merchandise for a period corresponding with the import tables, from the port of New York, say eleven months of tbe current fiscal year, exclusive of specie, and for corresponding months for two years previous, arc as follows:

Assuming that New York exports one. half of all the merchandise und produce sent abroad, we have as the sum total of exports $018,289,443 for the first eleven months of the current fiscal year, against $395,010,138 imports, indicating a balance of trade In favor of the United States of $223,279,210. Here we have figures of remarkable suggestivents, well calculated to arrest the attention of statesmen, businessmen and philanthropistsin fact, all classes of men, not excepting those who earn their bread by tbe sweat of their face. It is shown that during tbe past eleven months this country has exported to foreign countries good valued at $018,287,448, and these figures represent scarcely a moiety of the surplus that could be distributed to foreign countries if a demand should arise. Notwithstanding these sum totals of imporis and export", these evidences of the vast resources of the country, what are the surroundings of business Prostration in every department, idleness and poverty on all hands, confidence dethroned and the government itself in the hands of thieves and conspirators blasphemer of Jehovah, foot-pads on the highways of liberty and progress, robbers of the people's birth right and the defenders of crime.' It la not surprising, therefore, that while God, in Ills Infinite munificence bestows wealth and comforts upon the people, that such a party by its infernal policy has been able to reduce the country to a condition of mi paralleled misery. The figures we hare given are suggestive, but no more to than the business ruin that now confronts the people ou all sides.

STRIKES. A certain class of journals, chiefly of the radical stripe, which have been anxious to employ the army for the purpose of shooting workingmen, are just now engaged in the basinet of predicting labor strikes all over the country. They catch at every idle rumor, which is Immediately inflated to suit their purposes, and upon w hich is erected a huge superstructure of lies and sensational nonsense well calculated to produce the unrest which they so loudly profess to deplore, for with the prediction of labor strikes the country is treated to sensational accounts of communistic riots and murders, aud all the calamities of anarchy. These vicious organs of deep seated hate towards workingmen, instead of advocating a financial policy calculated to lift the burden' of depression from business and the industries of the .country, have pursued the opposite course. They opposed the reraoneUzation of silver and the repeal of the resumption law, and have used whatever influence they possessed to uphold John Sherman in hi en'orts to promote the interests of Shylocks at the expense of every other class of citizens. When values w ere shnnki ng they applauded ; when failures multiplied they offered no word of protest; when laboring people were deprived of employment by thousands and ten a of thousands, these Sbylock organs had no word of sympathy; on the contrary, when destitution and hunger pangs forced from their victims protest, these Shy lock organs could suggest no remedy but bullets. If, a it Is now claimed by thesa Shylock organs, these advocates'of the Sherman policy, there is a probability of labor disturbances at an - early day then there is a ' demand 'for prudent councils to avert the calamity. Congress is still in session, and should take a broad survey of the field, and should remain in session nntil such legislation is bad as shall impress the people with its wisdom and give them assurances that the highest lawmaking power in tbe land has sought by every means at its command to relieve the country of the blighting curses of radical leg ialation. The Sentinel does not favor strikes does not believe that it is the best method of overcoming business depression. We are irrevocably opposed to mob violence as n means of redressing any grievance whatever, and we are equally opposed to shooting men, women and children who in the frenzy of starvation plead for food. We do not credit the wild rumors that a day has been fixed in the near future for a general railroad or any other kind of a strike, and we are confident that the papers which are engaged in making such predictions are the enemies of order, so mean and vicious that they would inaugurate commotion to verify tbeif raving There is a vast deal of poverty and wretchedness, in the land, brought about by tbe radical party. In a few months the rigors of winter will be upon tbe land, and it well becomes prudent people to contribute their Influence to set in operation such forces as shall result in giving the poor labor and focd.

TREASURY DEFALCATIONS. Yesterday we published a special dispatch to the Chicago Times that seems based on fair authority, stating that the small item of $19,000,000 had been used to force a balance on the treasury books. The act was so bare-faced that one wonders at the cheek of the officials who executed it. Senator Davis, of West Virginia, has repeatedly stated on his responsibility as a senator that there is a deficiency of over $200,000,000 in the account of the United States treasury. That corruption of great magnitude has been rampant in Washington is matter of common notoriety. These charges come from sources that entitle them to serious consideration. Now what is to be done? The democracy are in power in the house of representatives. What is tbe use of making the charges un'.ess they are substantiated? A business man would not charge a defalcation on one of his em ployes unless lie establish ed the fact. He certainly would not charge him with crime and continue him in his employ. If there be any foundation for these charges let investigation reveal the foundation on which they reat If established, let swift punishment fall upon the guilty. Corrupt the fountain of a stream and you muddy it throughout its length. If such corruption exists at Washington and goes unpunished, it but Invites to greater frauds and must end in disaster to the whole people. Bnwtla'a Resources. Pall Mall Gazette. The Novoe Vrumya, in an article on the financial resources of Russia, asserts that, though they have been grratly strained by tbe expenses of the war, they are still sufficient to bear the cost of ' an energetic foreign policy." An important t-st of the prosperity of the masses in Russia is, according to the writer, the produce of tbe excise duty on spirituous liquors. TLis was in 1877, 207,835,79 roubles, bsing 191,758 roubles more than in 187 J. The receipts from tte excise duties on tobacco and sugar were alto larger in 1877 than in the previous year. As to the customs duties, the receipts from the beginning of the present year up to tbe 4th of May amounted to 15.205,022 roubles, being 10,i75,57G roubles more than in tbe fame period of 1877, and 2,110,204 roubles more than in.l87o. Further, in January, 1878, 19,521 verstj of railway were open for traffic, and the number of railway passengers (exclusive of soldiers) was 1.5S3,2-8, gainst 1,419,799 in January, 1877; while the weight of goo Is carried by railway was 782,481 pounds (agiinst 451, 8;2 in January, 1877) by express trains, and 135,09);,051 pounds (against 119,873,899 in January, 1877) by luggage trains. The receipts ot the Kusian railways, too, amounted last January to 15,411.973 roubles, being 9.' per cent, more than in tbe previous year. Tbe Other Fellow Ox. I St. Louts Republican. It is significant that when Anderson was lying for the republicans he had no corroborating documents or witnesses to suDport his testimony, but now that he is telling the truth for the democrats there is ample confirmation, written and oral, to sustain his veracity. Of course he is not a man to be believed without corroboration, and it is high time tbe republicans explained why they permitted the vote of Louisiana to hinge on his unsupported oath. Bearlns to Look Squally. Richmond Independent Really, it begins to look like the whole world was In danger of a labor uprising. The trouble has broken out in Canada and England and is liable to any time in the United States and. continental Europe, esGcialiy Germany. A general war between tor and capita is not improbable, and if once inaugurated will be terribly destructive of the interests of both. In this country where we have the free ballot, there if not

the slightest excuse for such uprisings. The laboring men are abundantly able to better their conditions through the ballot, and as they have not done so and still do not, they deserve no. encouragement in unlawful resistance to their masters. Those who rote not should not shoot.

TWO BElUTirUi. MURDERESSES. Th Nt ran are Clew to m Hyatertena A slnatJon A Terrible Sentence. At an early hour in tbe morning of the 17th of May, 1817. the inhabitants of St. Dennis, one of the suburbs of Paris, were startled by the discovery that the corpse of an gd woman had been found in the Rue Yaugirard, the only aristocratic and the most quiet street of tbe place, under circumstances which left no doubt of the fact that she had been murdered. Sbe was taken to the town hall, and exhibited to public view just as she had been found. The corpse was almost entirely naked. Only a part of a fine cambric chemise covered the upper iart of her body. Her head was terribly bruised, apparently by the blows inflicted by a Muntinstrument. From the shriveled condition of her skin, and from the fact that she bad but a few teeth left in her mouth, it is evident that at the time of her death sbe must have been at least sixty years old. Who was she? And " WHO HAD MVRDERKD HKB7 At that time even faris had but few clever detectives, the betit of them having been dis-tuist-ed on account of tbe service they had j rendered to the Emperor Napoleon the First. iience it was not to oe wonuereu at that for two days no clew to the perpetrators of this crime was found. The corpse of the murdered woman was buried early on the third day, and it was a truly strange coincidence that at the same hour there waslurnisbedto the authority sof St. Denis information which enabled tbem in the coure of a few hours to ferret out who had committed the atrocious crime. It was a letter addressed to the commissary of police that furnished this important information. No name was signed to tbe letter, which read as follows: If you will go to the young; ladies' boarding school at Bevernay you will ltnd out who the murdered woman is, and. if you are sagacious enough, also her assassina. They are at the house. THE C0MMIS8ABY OF rOUCE immediately repaired to the place indicated, where he was received by Mine. Chestuay, the principal of the school He siid to Mme. Chrstnay: '-Is there an aged woman missing from this house?" 'An aged woman?" she exclaimed. "We had only one aged woman here my housekeeper, Mile. Sustenne. She is now on a visit to her sister in Normandy." "When did she leave?" "Three days ago." "Can you tell me what kind of a chemise she wore at that time?' The lady. looked at him in surprise. Then she said: Mlle. Sustenne was always very particular about her underclothes. She never woie anything but very fine cambric chemises." "How about her teeth?" "Monsieurl"! "Excuse me: I have an object in asking this question.' "Mile. Sustenne had very few and very bad teeth." "Did she have any enemies here?" "Enemies? Yes, monsieur. She was rather crabbed and sour, and hence all my young girls hated her." "Did any of the young girls bate her particularly?" "Let me see. Yes; Anais Lenor and Sophie Bresten bad, the other day, a bitter quarrel with her. But tell me, monsieur, why do you put all these questions to me?" "Because Mile. Sustenne . is undoubtedly the old woman who was found murdered at St Denis three days ago." "Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu!" cried the lady, wringing her hands. "Please send for the two girls whom you named last" The two girls made their appearance. They were only sixteen, tender, graceful and handsome. "What do you know about the murder of Mile. Sustenne?" said the commissary to them. The girls turned deadly pale. They made no reply. "Did you murder her?" thundered the commissary. Tbey burst into tear., and confessed that, having had a violent altercation with Mile. Sastenne, they had beaten her on the head until she was "dead. Then tbey had stripped off her clothes and carried her in the deal of night to St Dennis. The two beautiful murderesses were sentenced a few days afterwards to be branded on both shoulders with a red hot iron, then to stand in the pillory for three hours, and to be confined in the house of correction for life. tSeaaatlOBiaoBi Illsla Latitudes. To those in the eniovment of ordic&rv health, says the Hock Mountain Tourist, the sensations experienced in crossing the ascendingelevation of the peat plains and in the higher attitudes at the base of and within the mountain, are, in a notable degree, pleasant. The dryness and rarity of the atmosphere, together with its remarkable electrical e fleets combined with numerous other peculiarities of climate, excite the nervous system to a high degree of tension. The physical functions are aroused and reenergized, it may be after years of sluggish, inefficient action. New vigor aud tine is imparted, the appetite is keen, tbe digestion is capable and strong, and the sleep sound. The yital organs, stimulated and compelled from an established routine of greater or less inefficiency, it results that all tbAse ailments to which men in the ordinary pursuits of civilized life are too much subject, at once disappear, and whatever there is to each individual of capacity to enjoy is summoned into fullest action, and one fairly revels in the intoxication of gooi health. Such are the sensations accompanying the first entrance into the rarified electrical air of these elevated regions, which, with their attending pleasures and benefit', will forever render tbe Rocty mountiins a resort of uneaualed allurements for thosa who. .not invalids, yet seek relief from tbe exhaustion and deterioration of overworked professional or business life. " Grant and Stonewall Jackson. Gen. Grant was recently reported by an occasional correspondent of the Virginian, writing from Constantinople, as speaking disparagingly of Stonewall Jackson, while in that city. Colonel Mosby wrote to General Grant, inquiring if he had used the language attributsd to him. Gen. Grant, writing from Paris, May 20, in reply, says: , "You say I am reported as speaking disparagingly of Stonewall Jackson by one co-respondent I have not seen that I knew Jackson when be was a cadet, served with him in the Mexican war; and know that be enjoyed tbe confidence and respect of all who knew him. He was regarded as a man of great ability, threat perseverance and grctt piety. Whatever he did he .did consciei. tiously, no matter wheiher it was right cr wrong I have compared him in conver.a tion with Cromwell. It is probable that I have said as much to you about Jackson as I have to any correspondent" Very Correctly Stated. New Orleans Picayune.J About all that can be gathered from the Indiana republican platform is that the republicans of Indiana are going to vote the republican ticket because they are opposed to the democrats for some reason that they do not see fit to state.

THE RECORD. The Action of the . Forty-third and Forty-fonrth Congresses on the Presidential Frauds.

Tbe Facta In tne Cae. Rrooklyn Eagle. The house took two votes to quiet title in the presidency matter yesterday. The first was on resolutions of a republican member named Burchard, of Illinois, that whereas at the joint meeting of the two houses of the Forty-fourth congress, II. B. Hayes was declared elected president and W. A. Wheeler vice president therefore no subsequent congress and neither house can revise that action or annul or disregard tbe titles therefrom arising, and that any effort to do so would be revolutionary and is disapproved by the house. This was passed by 215 votes against 21, among the nays being A. M. Bliss, of the Fourteenth Brooklyn district. The second vote was on a report of the majority of the judiciary committee, made by Congrf ssman Hartridge, of Georgia, adverse to the Blair memorial and the Kimmell bill to form a title court to try the issue of the presidency, in which the state of Maryland complained she was wrongly deprived of the e fleet of her vote by fraud. The committee's report first deals in detail with tbe two measures referred to; it declares the reason why it considers them impracticable. It then goes into the ouestion of the presidency title at large, and declares that no disturbance of the title should take place, but that invc3tieation "calmly, carefully and rigorously conducted" should be made into the frauds, as "due t this generation and posterity and the principles of our government," to the end "that legal and constitutional means of punishment of the guilty parties" be administered, and "the preservation and perpetuation of the evidence of their guilt be secured,'' so that American people shall be protected "from the recurrence of their crime." The vote on the resolution offered by the committee, which was akin to those offered by Burchard, was ayes, 234; cays, 14; among tbe nays being A. M. Blis, of the Fourteenth Brooklyn district. The resolutions as adopted by the house, together with the statement of Mr. Blis3 and his thirteen dissenting associates, are put below, next to the declaration of the last preceding house on the same subject: BURCHARD S RESOLUTION. Whereas, At thej oi nt meeting of the two houses of the Fortyfourth congress, convened pursuant to law and the constitution, for the Durnose of as WHAT THE HOUSK OF 176-77 DECLARED.

MR. BLISS AND OTHERS DDWEKT. I am opposed to all nroceedinra in refer ence to invalidating the president's title which are illegal, un and in the same man ner, li is the omnion of this house that the said Thomas A. Hnirli constitutional or revolutionary. If tbe title of the state of Indiana, of the present lm-um wasuuiy elected vice president of the United bent Is valid and unas sailable. It needs no ae States for the term ot tion of congn-ss to four years, commenc oulet it. But ir.on the ing on the 4th day or March, A. D. 1877. contrary, it is fraudu lent, and the investi gating committee of this house should so find and report, it would be dishonorable on our part to attempt to make it pood, or to declare by bill or resolution that it was saaacred. If the title is good it needs no defense; if bad, I can never vote to m ike it better. For these reasons I vote "No." Between the reasons which produced the resolutions yesterday and the resolutions themselves there is ai much difference as there is between the declaration of this house and that of the last house. The reasons were to allay an apprehension concerning the people which the people do not feel, which resides mlely In the little minds of small politician, and which has been excited in them by the deft arts of their opponents. It was apprehended by timid men in congress that tbe eople feared tbey were bent on something vaguely called Mexicanization or satirically called revolution. That apprehension, was accomplished through successful and systematic defamation of tbe victims of the-'frand by the perpetrators of the fraud. The statement sounds ridiculous, but only because it perfectly fits a ridiculous democratic recognition of a panic manufactured by republican organs and politicians. There was no movement and there was no apprehension anywhere that democrats would seek to eject Hayes or revolutionize the presidency mid-term. No such effort could be made except by democrats. No democrats rieant to make it Their profuse profession of almost abject disclaimer, under radical goading, that tbey never meant it, and never would mean it, was superfluous, poltroonry on ths part of demo crate. They thought to spike an enemy's gun, which wa,i only loaded with wind and mud. Tbey d serve just what they get another broads' de from a whole battery of yillification, shotted with the charge in which is too much truth, that they were forced io resolve as they did resolve through craven uuintelligence. We are In favor of having democrats in the next house who will not be prescribed for or bullied by their opponents. The pusillanimity of this house forbids such a hope of it Now as to the resolutions themselves: They cover a sheer superfluity. Tbey could only become pjrtinent in the event of a case which does not have exUtence now. Were there any orgaiized movements in the country to turn out the unelected persons, or had any persons in congress exhibited petitions or bills to that effect, under circumstances which advertised any noticeable purpose or possibility of turning out the unelected pertons, a declaration of the house against such a scheme, on grounds of law or public policy or both, would have been natural and effective, because c tiled for, Moreover, as to the

resolutions themselves, a distinction should be made between wbat they undertake to aay and the terms they employ to say it They under tike to say that Mr. Hayea'and Mr. Wheeler should not be turned out on any grounds which antagonize the proceed' logs under the electoral communion law of 1877, whereby they were put in office. That conclusion is tbe mind of the democratic and republican parties. If it was a conclusion which any appreciable number or cla3 was opposing, it woald have been in order for the democrats to have recorded themselves for the conclusion and agiinst the opposition to it. Instead of that the democrats sought to vote something which everybody was in favor of, merely to parry a lying charge that they were not in favor of it a charge which dignity, self respect and the consciousness of the responsibility of a majority should have led them not to notice and not to let others thrust it on tbeir no ice, most of all to drive them to a declaration concerning it But the resolutions do not succeed in saying what they undertake to say. The two houses of congress never declared that Hayes and Wheeler were elected. That they d d so declare is the cardinal statement in the resolutions. That statement is false. The presiding officer of the joint meeting, viz., the president of tbe senate, made such a declaration, and even he said be made it "in accordance with the law under which the proceedings were held," not in accordance with the truth, not in accordance with the joint or concurrent declaration of like efiect by the two houses. The senate voted that all the awards of the commission, made by one majority, should be concurred in. The house voted that they should not be concurred in. Then the law made for the occasion imposed a declarative duty on Mr. Ferry, which he performed. "The two houses" never "dec'ared Hayes and Wheeler to be duly elected." Eyery vote of the house to nonconcur in the awards ot the comndsfion was a separate declaration, in effect, that Hayes and Wheeler were Dot "duly elected," and that Tilden and Hendricks were "duly elected." Finally, the house not merely in effect, but in terms, formally, solemnly and truly declared that Tilden and Hendricks were "duly elected," and that statement which falsifies the resolutions of yesterday we publish above along the side of them. Circumstances made needless and pusillanamous the thing tbe house sought to say yesterday. Stupidity or craft made the house fail to say even the thing it sought to say4 The thilll? it did uv wn fali'fit inn nf itm

own records. We have given the matter the benefit of aa full and candid an analysis as possible. The 8 access ot the resolutions will depend wholly on how much truth there is in them, and on what necessity, if any. there was at the time and in the circumstances, for resolving on the question at all. To that test they will come in the judgment of the people.'no matter what 'tactics tbe politicians who passed the resolutions now think they have accomplished or neutralized. The same test will be applied to the dissent of Mr. Bliss and the others. If the position and proposition of that dissent can be gainsaid, the task will doubtless be performed. If the manhood and logic in it can be impeached, that will be done, too. If not, that dissent will carry the future, and the coarse epithets vented on it to day, in lieu of all argument or examination, will only help it carry the future, and demit those who vent them to even less influence than they have now. Especially dots it behoove those swift and thrifty southrons, whose blades are not vet dry with the blood of the Union, to remember that when they stretched the adverse report to the Kimmell bill, into a speculative argumentresponsive to nothing why, on general principles, fraud should be let aione, they did not represent anything rightly called manhood in the United States. They ran when and where tbey were not sent The manhood of the United States lets the fraud alone, not because it ought to be let alone, a-j the committee would imply ahould be tbe reason, but because the crime was so unprecedented that no remedy to meet it, before it shall have run its course, is known to the law. Did that remedy exist, it would be applied; for the disposition to apply it is as mramount as courage and truth are in the Jnited States, and it would be applied if it was available, even on the next to tbe last day of tbe period of the fraud, as heartily as it would be in tbe middle of its term. The people are under no delusion about the fraud, or under any delusion about those who bandy the sacred names of revolution and constitution, to make out a transient case of immunity for it. Doffs on Errands of Mere y. Land and Water. Tbe suggestion of tbe Wehr Zeitung is that a race of dogs should be attached to armies in their campaigns, or at least to the corps of ambulance service attending upon them, and that after every battle the dogs in question should be sen t forth to range over the field of battle in search of those wretched wounded soldiers who have not been killed outright, but who have hidden themselves in refuge; and, after figuring in tbe list of "missing," men too often perish miserably before any relief can find them out It seems that the idea of employing dogs in this way is by no means a new one, but was brought forward two years ago at Dresden, where some dogs qualified for this purpose were shown in an exhibition. Since that time experiments have been made by means of crossing tbe St. Bernard with other races, with a view to obtaining the most suitable breed, and a very satisfactory result is said to have been arrived at by the German fanciers. The precise mode of employing the animals on their beneficient mission is described in the w:t. -..-.-.I-: . . u . . j , icuiia j'ayvi, nuitu c&piaiua iu.t lue uug is furnished with a leather collar and plate, having marked upon it his nomber and the division of the army to which he is attached, . and the Geneva cros.

Am Unenviable Renntavtton. St, Louis Republican.) Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, has tbe unenviable distinction of being the only southern or western senator on the democratic side who voted yesterday against the senate substitute for a repeal of the resumption act The only other senator from the soath or west who voted the same way was the notorious Patterson, of South Carolina Can't See It by Tnoae Lamps. ILigonier Banner. Senator Joe McDonald, of this state. Is in favor of the Totter investigation, and says there is no doubt that Hayes was put in by fraud. At the same time he insists that the title is inviolate, no matter how corruptly obtained. This maybe sound both inlaw and logic, but for the life of us we can't view the question in that light Where tbe Sboe Pinches.
