THE PRESIDENTIAL uuestiox.
The Republican prcsi is busy In announc
ing that Democrat have quietly settled down
tojthe conviction tlint Have Is elected, and
have given up the contest. What renon
can be given for such a supposition we lmve
sot yet heard. Everybody knows that each
day brings about something favorable to the
Domolrat.. The Congrcsjional committee
now making Investigations In the South
concerning the Intimidation of colored vot
er will undoubtedly report that many of
the statements on which the votes of whole
parishes were thrown out by Republican re
turning boards arc utterly false. The terri
ble I'itilcstou tragedy on which theppoi
tlori placed so innch reliance proven to be
the story of a miserable prostitute, wholly
unworthy of belief. In F.orlcU the whole
question Is being overhauled by the Court,
and we have no doubt that It will decide
that the State was carried forTilden. The
South Carolina congressional committee will
report that Hayes curried the State and the
Democrats elected the Governor and a ma
jority of tho Legislature. It is hard In say
jnst what will be done in Louisiana. The
congressional committee is busily engaged
in taking testimony, much of which goes to
show that Tilden curried the State fairly.
They are also unearthing intiumcrablefrauds
that were attempted to cheat him out ol it.
If Florida can be clearly shown to have
gone for Tilden, we think the difficulty !s at
an end, because no honest Republican in ei
ther House of Congress will support an at
tempt to accept fraudulent returns. We be
lieve that theie are honest men enough in
Congress who are willing to be governed by
law and right and who will not be tho tools
ol Grant, Cameron, Chandler, and the horde
of howling office holders nho are insisting
on the inauguration of Hayes at all hazards,
to settle the question, and when it is settled
by them, whichever way it is. the people
will accpt It as the verdict Irom which
there is no appeal, democrats arc not quiet
from conviction of defeat, but because tbey
bare an abiding faith that the law and the
Constitution of the Nation will be respectel
and that the will of the peoplo shall prevail
over fraud and corruption, and in this faith
they rett secure that Tilden will be the next
President.
BLATANT FOItNKY
In one of its paroxysms of rage over the
aucccsso( the Democratic party, tin 'no
says ;
John Sherman, Frederick Krelinghuysen,
Benjamin F. Duller, Jatnci Rimel Lowell,
John I Jones, even Governor Hayes lilui
elf, have beeu appealed to by these sinking
accession sympathizers, and appealed to in
vain. And now Roseoo Conkling, of New
York, Is put forward as their liberator, and
why?
There i scarcely a statesman of either
party who has not beeu honored at some
time or another by the abuse of this man
Forney. He assaulted the character of
Hartranft, abused Cameron nnd Grant when
in a virtuous mood, and then :slaudered
Trumbull, Schnrz, Kenton, Sumner, and
other prominent Republicans. He now at
tacks Conkllng for daring to do what he be
lieves to be right.
And by what right does this man Forney
censure the acts ol others bis superiors in
Intellect nnd honesty ? His patriotism dur
ing the war consisted in getting fat contracts
for himself and friend. Later, he distin
guished himself by taking $5,000 from the
notorious Kvans in consideration of helping
the Utter to rob the State of $-300,OtH).
Again, the Pacific Mail lobby paid him
'f33,000 for his corrupt influence in getting
them a Government subidy.
In the face ofthese facts, it is not for
such men as Forney to impugn the motives
of honorable, men.
THE (JOYERNltR'S MESSAGE.
We are Indebted to Governor Hartranft
far an advanced copy of his annual message.
His allusion to national ;ithtlr.s Is very brief,
and ia comprehended in the following para
graph: The vear has closed with very little
change In the commercial condition of the
country. During last spring and summer
there were Indications of the revival of con
fidence and a 'slight increase of trade; but
the excitement attending the election, and
the delay in announcing the result, appear
to have checked the movement nnd revived
thn nrfnrt nf InnrllviK- TIia (nf .('
""rary movement, however, has given r se to a
reasonable hope that we have readied the
close of the panic and the beginning of bet
ter times. It will be our duty to contribute
to that end and indirectly aid in restoring
confidence, by a wise economy In appropria
tions, a careful management of finances, and
a conscientious discharge of our official du
ties. It will thus bo seen that the Governor
does uot claim that Hayes is elected, and
administers a wholesome reproof to the Rad
ical leaders who are endeavoring to foM a
President upon the people who was not
elected.
The financial couditiou of the Stale is not
flrratlfvinir. The revenues have fallen ntV
' considerably. To meet maturing obligations
ine uovernor rccoimueuus an auiiuiouai
loan at five per cent interest.
The other subjects are ably bandied, but
are too dreary for general use.
A STAY LIW.
Many of our subscribers have urged us to
call public attention to the necessity of the
Legislature making some provision for the
ifllcl of the people in this trying emergen
cy. The sherill'aud constable! are sweepin;
away many a home ait the dictation id' re
Itntless or needy creditors. It Is also true
that the pries realized are uot more than
Pi-half tho. value of the goods sold. It Is
oat the Legislature has heretofore
I to prevent wholesale bankruptcy

THE
Tile Lectin cf Louisiana.
The events which transpired In Iiuislana
Tuesday aro significant far beyond tho prac
tical Inauguration of tho Tilden State gov
ernment nnd judicial nuthorlty lu that long
plundered and distracted Commonwealth.
Tho peoplo who gave Mr. Nlcliolls ten thou
sand majority at tho polls In November, as
sembled with quiet but fearful earnestness,
to put Into their proper official trusts lhoe
who had been called by an overwhelming
vote to administer their government. Tlioy
had to bravo all the orgaulzed power of the
State authorities, and, as they feared, nil the
organized power of the State authorities,
and, t.s they feared, all the power of tho na
tional government, but they enmo In the
name of the law to restore a tempest-tossed
community to order and peace by the law
and In severe otadienco to Its mandates.
How far they succeeded, and by what means
they achieved thtir success, our full special
and general reports from New Orleans fully
explain. The day closed with tho Nlcholls
administration in IndUputed possession of
the police of tho city, of the court', and
practically the recognized and lawful gov,
ernment of the Stale. True, the carpet-bag
pretender, Packard, is in possession of the
Stato House, surrounded by a few trembling
militiamen who could be swept away by any
demonstration that seriously threatened an
attack upon them, but the friends of tho u
premacy of nn honest ballot resorted to no
violence, and it is evident now that they
make no miscalculation In assuming that a
day or two at the latest must utterly and
forever dissipate the whole carpet-bag dy-
nasty, unless tho bayonets of the Federal
army shall interfere to protect them. Gov
ernor Nlcholls published a proclamation
yesterday that breathes the most patriotic
tone' nnd it may now be accepted as reason
ably certain that there will be no violence
In the dying throes of tho most disgraceful
and despotic political domination that ever
cursed any country. It Is not doubted that
the lawful authority of Governor Nlcholls
will be speedily recognized by n majority ol
the Legislature as returned even by tus ivel
Ingg Retnrn Hoard, If there shall be nocoer
clvo measures adopted by President Grant,
nud it is not now certain that the power of
Federal bsyonets would be sufi'icicnly uoteu
tial to hold the Legislature from disowning
the Packard usurpation. It is known that
ex-Governor Wnrim'.utli is preparing to letu?
a revolution within thelCellogg party against
the palpable Kellogg election frauds, nnd
the recognition of Nlcholls by nil the im
pnrtant departments of authority nnd by a
large majority of thoe who toted against
him, is now assured unless there shall lie
some unexpected folly committed by the Til
den lenders, or some inconceivable revolu
tionary niea-ure adopted by the President.
Such is the histoiy of an eventful day
In Louisiana; but the pointed lesson for the
country is in the ollicial dispatch of Secreta
ry Cameron sent to General Augur, com
mander in New Orleans. The repeated aud
importunate cries for "more troops" from
Packard aud his fellow-pretenders called a
protracted Cabinet consultation yesterday,
and the result of it was that General Augur
was instructed to notify all lawless organi
sations to desist from any disturbance of the
peace, but. added tho WnrMiuiier,'7.e(iV
in mind Hie act iAaf thin order hat no rte,
ence to the reroyiiition of either of the claim-
anUor Uoccrnor oi fi'rA.'i ,tiilnture." This
is notice to Packard that his cause can no
longer bu sustained by the national ad minis
traiiou and that he must bow to the tover-
eigu will of the people of Louisiana. It is
a repetition of the policy that surrendered
Florida to the verdict of her own people, ut
ter exhaustiye ell'urU to fasten another carpet-bag
government upon her by fraud, and
it leaves tLe whole gang of Kellogg plunder
era without any other suppoit than the fee
bio following they cau rally from their own
now hesitating confederates. A month ago
Secretary Cameron seemed to consider it a
matter of amusement to have his bayonets
gleam from the doors of the South Carolina
Capitol, to inaugurate a Governor aud Leg
islature that nobody believed to have been
elected. In that Statu the electoral vote
was practically free from dispute, and the
revolutionary Intervention tif tho adminis
tration was intended as u lessoj to the coun
try that the might of the sword was to settle
the Presidential election; but gradually the
omnipotence ot honest public opinion readi
ed even the urrogaut Cabinet Ministeis, and
Florida, whose electoral vote is in doubt,
was allowed to inaugurate a full Tilden ad
ministration and Legislature, and now Lou
isiana will do the same without the sword
being drawn to hinder the victory of justice.
Mr. Secretary Cameron is evidently a wiser
man to-day than hu was a few weeks ago,
and it is evident that ho has at la-t learned
tho lesson that law and honesty have some
rights which even Cabinet Ministers are
bound to respect. Slowly but surely the
Presidential problem is reaching n just -olu.
tion, and law and peace will triumph in the
vindication of the purity and majesty of free
government. limn.

COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY; PA.
SENATOR WALLACES SPEECH.
The speech of Senator Wallace, on the
question of counting the electoral vote, de
livered In thsScnato on the 8th Inst., was
rccdgnlztd by both Democrats and Repub
llcans as the ablest explanation of tho Dem
ocratlo theory on the subject yet delivered
In that body. He was warmly congratulated
at the close, and a number of gentlemen
called on him in the evening to compliment
bun upon his effort. Tho following Is tho
full text of n proposition submitted by Mr.
W allaco !
Mr. Wallace, (Dem.) of Pa., submitted thr
following resolution :
Jleiolred. That the sDCctnl committee on
counting the electoral vote bo Instructed to
Inquire nud report to the Senate the follow
ing propositions:
1st. Klcctors of President of tho United
States are a part of tho machinery of the
Federal Government.
2d. Tho power to appoint .hem is ln tho
States, to bo exercised under tho restrictions
and guarantees ot the feilcr.il constitution.
U. Tho noner to ascertain who has been
elected Presldint and Vice President of the
United States by counting Hie electoral vote
is a uuasi iudleial one. and carries with it
the right to inquire and decide what are
votes,
1th, This power Is In tho two Houses, act
inir concurrently as Independent bodies.
oth. Kach house may examine both facts
and law to enable It to determine these ques
tion": First, Are the returnsol the Klecioral
Colleiri's beloie them the true returns? Sec
ond, Were the votes therein shown to be
cast given by those appointed by the Stale
to office of elector of President ol the Uuit"d
States? nnd third, as the appointment ot
electors made, and were tho voles cast In
accordant with tho provisions aud guaran
tees of the Federal Constitution?
Gtli. The certificate and seal of the execu
tive authority of the State, made under the
act of Congress, is prima facia proof of the
appointment ol nn elector ny me state.
This mode of nroof may be overthrown by
tho decision ol the highest tribunal of the
proper State, nr ol too untteu suites, or it
may be contradicted by evidence of a plain
mistake or palpable fraud.
7th. When two returns come from n State
the two houses acting concurrently must de
termine which Is thu true return.
8th. No electoral voto can bo counted
without the concurrence of both houses.
Mr. Wallace, in oller'uii! the above, said :
Thcso propositions imbody my views of tlie
law. When we settle what the law of this
subject is wo have a safe path out of our dif
ficulties. Wo will bow' to the law definitely
ascertained. It is our duty to learn this, to
recognize its power, and to obey it. The
first iiroiiosilion is s-1 1 evident. It needs no
nroof. The second will not be disputed, for
all admit tlie 1 ilt .l Constitution to be the
stinremo law The third le-seils that the
power to count tho v ite is not ministerial
hut is quasi-judicial, and curies with it tlie
right to inquire und decidn what aio votes.
The tribunal that counts tho vote must
indue of inductions of the couctittition If
it is objected in joint meeting that votes
were cast for an alien for President or for
one under thirty-live years of age, or for one
non-resident for fourteen yeais, is there
no power to inquire nnd decide the truth ?
Mu-t the voles he counted? How are the
questious to be settled.' lly debate or by ju
dicial inquiry? Or suppose tlie vote cast for
a Senator, or a Federal ju'ge, or unre
lieved rebel is there no power to inquire
as to the facts aud to deeidi? Or, if the
vote was cast on the wrong day, or not by
ballot, must we count the vote? Of, if a
State college (.tes for citlens ol its Slate
for both oliices, can we not inquire? What
is the Oregon inquiry now going o l? What
are all these iumiiries but the hicli'st eer-
ciso of judicial power, the application of
constitutional law to u given state ol Met) V
Siiicly such n power is not merely ministe
rial. If n State constitutes its election tri
bunals so as to deny the clear right of citi
zens of the United States, can wo not in
quire and correct the wrong? If one return
bo sent by a State, and before it reaches the
President of the Senate an irrepressible ami
unconstitutional tribuunl is interposed which
denies rights of citizens of the United
States, ur if plain mistake r palpable fraud,
bu shown, can we not inquire, and judge and
apply the remedy? If this bo mi in counting
the ote, we do not decline, but we cancel
and nullify it. Tne power to count is given
In some tribunal, ami thu means to reach
that end follow by ncces-nry implication.
Ho argued that this power was in the two
houses of Congress and not in tlie President
of tho Senat-1. The two houses have local
lcnowlcdgo which he has not. All the great
towers of go 'eminent are in o;,ngre.s,whilst
he has no vole in the body over which he
presldei. This is a great power, and would
be lod;ed where most likely to bireicisjd
with judgment and uudei rf sp uisiliility.
The two houses are equal. They lix the
time of choosing electors. They are present
when the voto is counted. Tho hing iuge
does not give the power to the President of
IheSenaie. lie is not the presiding ollicer
ofthnjuint meeting. The .-ocn'.c is there
us a Senate. Thu House is theiu a a lloiue
equal in dignity. If a President o temjrrc
can count the vote, whose power don ln ex
ercise? his own or that ot the Senile' If
the former, he is greater than hisrre.itor.
Thu Senate can di-pluco him 1f ha r fuses to
obey lliclr wi 1. If he exercises their power
then the Senate is above its in iqual b nlv,

Tilden faitly carried the State, but tlili'ers

llAitntsiiuiio, January 9, 1877.
This evening at 7.30 tho Legislature re
assembled after their holiday of nearly a
week. It ttiis expected that tho standing
committees of the Houso would bo announc
ed to-day, but owing to tho Speaker's neces
sarily limited acquaintance with many of
the new members, he concluded to give the
subject still further consideration. Thero
are plenty of wiseacres who profcsjpo know
all about the matter, but as we do not think
it safe to accept their prognosticating, wo
will await theolIiclal announcement. Until
this Is made, all business is lu abeyance, the
two Houses meeting only to adjourn over
until the important matter Is settled.
It is rumored that ono of the first items on
tho programme will bo a resolution on the
Presidential muddle, Intended to strengthen
the hands of Secretary of War Cameron nnd
the Republican Senators and Representa
tives at Washington, The Democrats have
been putting their heads together to fix up
on seme concerted action, should such a roc
ulutlon be introduced, but as yet have de
termined upon nothing. Sj far but little In
terest seems to bo manifested by our Solons
in regard to national nll'airs, but if Madam
Rumor tells tho truth, and tho matter
should be formally introduced in the Legis
lature, tho smouldering fires on both sides
will bo stirred up, nnd Homo fierce explo
sions will undoubtedly follow.
Tho advocates of Local Option are mov
ing vigorously in support of their project and
nro evidently in dead earnest. They held n
meeting in this city to-day, and deterinlrcd
upon a forward movement along the whole
line. Lecturers are to bo sent out over the
Stats to work up the local option interest,
to appoint committees, and circulate peti
tions among tip! people, praying for the re
enactment nf tho local option law. Minis
ters of all denominations were invited to
co-operate in tho movement, by preaching
to their people and urging them to stir
themselves in favor of te.npjr.ince. It was
also decided to hold a convention here in
tho latter part of January, and bring all
possible pressure to bear upon tlie legisla
ture at that time. The bill that they pro
poso is essentially the old local optiou law
repealed in 187").
Quite a little brcezj who created a day or
two ago, by a decision of Attorney General
Lear in regard to the pay ot the Assistant
SergeanU-n -Amc of the old House, who
consideied their presence necessary at tlie
organization ol the new House on tlie 2d
inst. As has been customary, year after
year, the old odicials aud employees rallied
to the last man to give tlie Legislature of
'77 n good start, and also lo pick up a few
crumbs in the shape of ten days extra pay.
The Attorney General, however, cruelly sat
down upon the pretensions of it dozen or
iiiuiu .s3isiam rrergeaui-s iu-jtriiis( uy ueciu
iug that they had no legal claim to the lit
tle "divvy" upon which they had counted.
This bomb-shell exploded among them with
terrific force, and a more dispirited nnd de
moralized looking set of men we have not
been for many a day.
Some of the members who spent the re
cent vacation in Philadelphia looked a little
worn and battered when they blocked back
to llarrisburg yesterday and to-day. It was
evident that tho seductions of the sinful city
on tho Delawaro had proved too much for
them. Tho comely ballet girls of the Casino,
the wines and suppeis, tlie little game ol
draw, anil either attractive etceteras of a leg
islative raid upon Philadelphia had com
pletely shattered tho nerves of n goodly
number. It is unfortunate for tho State that
men of this stamp continue to have them
selves sent to the Legislature. The evil is
not confined to either paity. These iiieu
mainly compriso the element that is respon
sible for unwise legislation, bribery and cor
ruption. Many of Ihcm are well known,
somo are only hinted at in public, and some
there be who enjoy a reputation for honesty
wliu nro Uuowii by those who sharn the t
crets of tho lobby to be open to conviction
when tho bait is sullicienlly gilded. They
are very sly and running in covering up
their tracks. Like the eel, they bite best
when tho night is darkest, but let them be
ever si wary, n ray ol light mil somclnncs
steal in and betray them. F.very year the
standard of tho average legislator has been
decreasing. Let us hope the present body
will be an improvement and that henceforth
the scale will have an upward tendency.

V.. CUAiNDLER,
Conkmnu Spi'.aks. Senator Conkllng
has nt last opened Ids mouth ou tho gacat
question that agitates the country. On Fri
day Iio presented to tho Senato tho petition
of a number of distinguished business men
of New York, nnd lu tho courso of his re
marks he said;
"Obedience to lnw, the observance of tho
constitution, ami tho maintenance of truth
is not a party question or proceeding. It Is
beyond party, and nboto party. Parties
miiy contend, and I believe it wholesome in
n free government that parties) should con
tend over measures, and can-dldates.
Hut when tho contest has been sub
mitted to the ballot-box, tho final arbi
trament of popular contests known In our
system, the only duty, the only lawful pro
ceeding connected with It, which remains, is
to find an honest, true result, to declare It,
bow to It, and stand by it. That is the duty
of the hour, it rests" on the two houses of
congres; it rests on tho nation: it rosts on
every citizen of the republic. That it will
be done, nnd done peacefully, decently and
in order, thoo petitioners do not, I think,
disbelieve. They, in common with all men,
may derive confidence from tho fact that In
terest nud expediency, not less than patriot
ism nud honor, point In one d' ectlon and
tench one lesson. Whoever stands on riaht
and truth will not fall. Whoever attempts
to stand on wrong nnd falsehood will be
overthrown."
Atlorney-Ocneral Cocke, of Florida, is a
curious species of rooster. lie agreed with
other member of the Returning Hoard as to
what returns should bethiown out, nnd af
ter the Hoard had adjourned entered n loud
protest against the notion in which ho had
participated. (iatette (C' ISulktin.
Our cotemporary is not noted for Its accu
racy in statements of facts, as shown by the
nbovo paragraph, Mr. Cocke i nil times
protested against the action of the Returning
Hoard. He was sustained by the Supreme
Court of thrStute, which compelled c Dosrd
to make another count, which elected the
o.itire Democratic Slate ticket. In tlie face
of the mandate of the Court, tlie Hoard,
howeter, threw out Hiker and Clay coun
ties which they had included in their first
count as legal nnd lair in tlie desperate
hope of counting in Hayes. It is too thin,
gentlemen, and such tricks nnd frauds will
not save you.
