It is not n measure of policy or contrivance, but ri measure of con- 5rft(ttitional Justice for the the preservation of the peace and order of tho Government. 1 We give a short synopsis of the provisions 'of. the measure. The Senate and Housoof Representatives are- to meet on the first Thursday in February, with tho President of -' the-Senate presiding. Each body shall ap 'point two tellers, to whom all papers shall ' 'lie handed after being opened by the chair- t 'titan, the tellers making a list of votes as ISIS?- --tlnjy appear from tho certificates. Upon "J reading of each certificate or paper, when ' tnero is only one return from a state, ob - jections may be made in writing. These ob- jections shall be submitted to each body ' seprately,aud no electoral votes from which " but oneteturn has been received shall be -J." rq'octed except by the affirmative voto of the two House'. itnnAnnixn Tiinco.VTESTnn states. oec. 2. Illatif more than one return or paper purporting to be a return from the State shall have been received by the l'resi dent cf tlie. Senate purporting to be the cer- '-tificatcs of electoral votes given at the last preceding election for President and Vice President in such Stato' (unless they shall be duplicates of tho same return,) all such re turns and papers shall be opened bv him ii the presence of- tho two houses, when met as aforesaidund read by tho tellers, and all ;such' returns and papers shall thereupon be submitted to the judgment and decision, as w which is the true aud.lawlul electoral vote of, such, State, of a commisaion constituted -as follows, namely : During the session of each b&tise on the Tuesday next preceding tne lint liiurstlay In February, 1877. each house shall by viva voce vote appoint lire of its membew.jKho, with the five Associate , Justices of tuFbupreme Court of the United States, shall constitute a commission for the decision of all questions upon or in respect , of such double returns named in this section. The balance of tho bill relates to the ac tion of the Joint commission and minor de-tai,B- t Presi(ient Grant is reported as having said 1hit.be would sign the bill if it passed. In djscussing Southern affairs he said that "no t fair-minded man who could look into the proceedings in South Uarolina and Florida 4 jroud decide otherwise than that those States , castlhe'ir rotes for Hayes, but that ho was not so sure about Louisana, aud that he had . K'aTe iloubts whether the action of the Re- v fuming Board could be sustained. ,. t Tie business' men of the country are en dorsing the bill everywhere, aud the press generally applauds it. Morton and a few of jthatlilfc arejafrald of it,as a fair investigation .will result in the announcement of Tilden's election and a Democratic administration may hurt their chances of returning to the U.S. Senate. KKMUVJXU TIIK CAPITAL. The Philadelphia papers are again talking about the removal of the State Capital to that city. They think the Art Gallery would be just the thing for it. We aro not surprised that they propose this. It is well kuown thai Memorial Hall was built with a view to its eventually being made a Legis lative hall, and if our Quaker friends do not succeed in their object they will be greatly disappointed. A bill making the change has been oflered, and it is possible that it may pass. A correspondent of the Prtit who lias been counting noses at Harrisburg canvasses the vote as follows: Tj begin with, Philadelphia will east 37 votes for it, Chester 4, Delaware 2, Montgomery ri,ltucks I, Berks li, Carbon 2, Monroe 1, l'ike 1, Wayne 2, Potter 1, Elk 1, JelTerson 1, York 4, Adams 2, Lebauou 2, Luzerne tl, Schuyl kill i, Sullivan 1, Wyoming 1, Lawrence 2, Northampton .'!, Susquehanna 2, Ilraitord .1, Tioga 2, Montour 1, This sums 103 votes sure," adds tho correspondent, "and there is no doubt there will be votes from Lancaster Allegheny and Krio to give it still further force." The stubbornness of figures hard to get over. Here is a formidable array presented by a writer in the New lork S'u;i; "Eng' land collected $175,000,000 from customs last year, aud we collected the same amount; England-paid two and three-fourths per cent, for collecting it and the United States paid fourteen per ceut.; she taxes ISartieles we 400 she ha 20,000 officeholders, we have 100,000.

P. Smith, pago 4 1 9. The decision of tho Supremo Court was delivered by Chief J ustice Thomp son, ami la as follows: (I.J As to tho first plea. Tho certificate therein set forth is in no respect according to tho Act of Assembly. Tho act says Inst when tho return judges shall liavo met, "they catl j Mj tircral countu rtturnt, ami wake dupli raie leturns of all the votes given for such of- ucus in s.nu ui-irici senate, Longress or As seniblyincn), and of tho name of tho person elected," and disnofc of tho dunlieatcs when so made out as already stated ; ami further, tho act provides that "it thall be the duly of tno return judges in every case to transmit to each of the persons elected to servo in Con press, in the Senate and Homo of llcprcsciit atnes, a certificato of his election within live days after the making up of such return." Ill tho certifieiite rtiVrrpd to. thern is nn counting up of tho r turns and ctrtilicato of the person olecUd senator, nor any pretence of iio'icu tnhim of his election. On the eon t nry, this was refu el, because- tho Indent say.it "iipp'-ars that hiilwiy and fraud" had been mad" u-eot to sccme the election of the can lid.ite hams by tho munty ret'ino a ma j.iritv of votis in the district So far I'liiiu this Ijeitig tlic eeriilicilo renuiied by law, it was a tefhs.il to certify. The returns were plain and iireMipilile, at lewt notliing In the ciitiury is alleged, and tho nnlv duty id' tlie loturn judges watn cist them u;i and certify flu- w!i mi the m ijmity had Iksoii given. The ri.ui.ty returns weie, a tn them in the pei I'oriiniticenf this duly, l oiieiiiMve.

The judge eertifitvtc aivl return' were to be the prima fiicio commirion of the senator, and bv law it would stand until overruled hv regulir action of the Senate, in judging of the memtier holding it. To hold that the ceititicatc in question was a compliance with tlio law in this respect, would be to maintain the possibility of n senator being received under a commission certified to have ben staiucd by bribery and fraud. This would bo simply preposterous. I shall notice, further on. tho groundless assumption that the return judges had jurisdiction of any such question as the cxitonco of alleged fratid in the elec tion. We overrule this answer or idea also. (2.) As to jrrcgularitie.", and tho want of compliance wiiu me uw on part ot tne elec tion officers of the towndiin or district elec tions, and the alleged hasto and want of caro on part ot tlie return judges ot the county in convention, all this lies back of the returns, which we have just said were conclusive on the return judges of tho district. From thep returns their dutv was to cat up and certify their return. This plainly-expressed duty cleatly excluded tbo exercise of any other du ty inconsistent with it. JCrpretsio uitiut eit exciutto auertm. no liavo never heard it contended that the nuthority given to the dis trict return judces to perform their nlain dutv carried with it a general supervisory power to ions luio uiuuai preceucu tne county returns. There is no such thine in the law. ami it would hea, sa 1 thing for institutions if it were so. lius plea or answer is untenable, and is overruled also. (3.) In this tilea tho resnondnnt nlLf Kri. bcry and fraud in tho election as an excuse for not certityinz as he was required by law to do. o hope this is not true. But oven if it were, ho was not the authority to examine in to it or act ujion it. "or aro wo, upon whom the answerj-eeks to cast a responsibility of in vestigating it. This wo have di-tinctlv said in Hulseman v. Items, Wright 39n,an'd if it had never been said, wnwnnhl m,v it nm. Tt is for the Senate to investigate charges of mis uaiurc. uonstiiution expressly says po, and to thai body it it proper, and tho only place it is proper, legally to make such charges. If thoy prove true, that body will do its duty doubtless, and expel any member from its hall who is there by such means. Tho remedy for all this is by contesting the election of the party charged. The law is am plo for this, aud this is the constitutional mode of redressing and punishing such a wrong. The respondent could hardly have contemplated the consequences of the prece dent he would set if sustained in this pica, or wo think ho would not claim it as a pro tection. There would be few returns of elec tion of senators, congressmen or representa tives ever made, if such athiag were possible to bo maintained. There would airways be enough, I regret to believe, to suggest fraud in the elcction; and theieby prevont any cer tificate of elections bcin? civen. Tim rnnco. quencoofthis would bo that our legislative bodies would never organize. A few with certificates might keep all others out, and thus V , cui.

Let this be tho rule, and our renre- scntative system would utterly fail of its pur pose, and anarchy and confusion would inevi tably result. I must do the learned and able counsel for the respondent the justice to say, that they disclaimed all such power in the re turn judges of tho district. They planted themselves alone on the ground that tho re spondent had already substantially complied with the act of Assembly in the certificate signed by him. This we have shown, we think, was a tuistako; but we need not recur to it again. This plea or answer is also over ruled.

Tho ppcclal correspondent of tho lfoaH says: When, Mr. Sherman closed Mr. Conkling rose. It Is known that he has, within a few days, suffered a relapse of tho malarial dis ease from which he has been a severo suffer er slnco last summer, and that it was doubt ful whether ho could muster strength enough to speak Soon after ho rose, members of the other House began to pour Into the Sen ate chamber, which was presently Crowded, and so remained until he sat down. Most of tho prominent members of the House, of both parties, were present, and with the gal leries, which rapidly filled up, listened ea gerly and with unflagging interest to the speaker. The space in the rear of the circle was so darkened by an ascniblnge of distin guished men that at various stages in his ad dress, tho speaker turned involuntarily to- waid them as if appealing through them to what he called the "patriotic virtu and the overwhelming common sense" of the coun try.

Heattjeked the rts.umplinn that the Vice President had or was intended by the fr.nners ot the Uonstuutton to have any power what ever in regard to the electoral vote, except to open the certificates, and his argument waB that of a great lawyer ai well as of a statesman. It was full of infumation. His statements were exact, his language spark ling with epigram, his abundant illustrations pertinent aud luminous, aud he demolished first the front and then the flanks ot the for tress on which the opponents of the bill had intrenched themselves until nothing was left and when the Senate broke up everybody felt that the question, at least, was fully and finally settled beyond the necessity or possi bility of further argument. Many passages in tho speech were very striking, and struck home indeed. Alluding to the language of the Constitution which says that "the President of the Senate shall open tho electoral certificates and they shall then be counted," he turned aside, and with one hand outstretched to tho Senators, the other stretched toward the President's chair, exclaimed "By blml'Mna tone which set the galleries fluttering. "If it had been intended that the vote Bhould bo counted by him, those two little words," hj said, "as two Senators have said before me. would have expressoJ that inten tion. Mr. Morton had, unluckily for himself, asserted that the Vice President must not only count, but he must count all tbo votes, good, bad or indifferent. "Is a President, then, to be chosen,"askec' Mr. Conkling, "by counting forged votes ; votes for a man condemned to lasting dis grace and inability by tho Senate on im peachment j votes for a dead man? Was it intended by those who framed tho Constitu tion that votes for a dead man should fill with an aching void the Presidential office ? To count my fingers," ho said, "that is a purely ministerial office ; tn count a pile of paper is the same; to ccunt bank notes among which may be counterfeits, and to sort the true from the false, that requires the exercise of judgment. If New York should send hero forty-five electoral votes, they would not be counted : they would have to be sorted." He showed the puerility of the arcument that if the Houses were to scrutinize the vote the action of one House might brine ' tho country to ruin, saying that ono House might ruin the country by refusing appro priations and in a multitude of other ways which he recited. "Government," said ho "rests ou tho consent of the governed." Is a majority of Congress less to be trusted than one man? A baro majority of this House might select a presiding officer for the ex press purpose of counting in a candidate. Is such a creature of an hour of more force or more trustworthy than the wisdom of the two houses ? Tho audience caught eagerly at any words which seemed by implication to reveal Mr Couk ling's, opinions on tho merits of the Presidential qui-1 ion, and there was some sensation among tho Republicans when, al luding to a former Senator (Howard), he spoke of him as one who, like himself, be lieved iu glorious achievements and tho glo rious destiny of the Republican party. llo had not finished when he eat down': indeed, he had touched but ono of several points which ho meant to cover, and the re mainder of his speech will be heard to-morrow, tho Senate meeting at eleven. Hut what he said this afternoon had a great effect upon his listeners. It is believed that the bill will pass the Senate by a three-tourthi vole. Mr. Ed munds gave notice that he would insist upon a vote to-morrow. The opponents of the bill are discouraged, but very bitter, aud they are prcprriug to concentrate their ef forts upon tho House. If President Hayes becomes President by the grace of Kellogg's Returning Hoard bis administration will be weighted dawn from tho start as none ever was before. It will havo not only tho House against it, not only a greatly diminished strength in the Senate not only n popular majority on record against it at election day It will have forfeited in advance the confidence and support of men without whom it could never have had a chance of coming into power. It will be under the most damaging suspicion that a popular government can encouuter-tha sus picion that iu title is fraudulent and ltd au thority illegitimate. Any such work nf rad ical reform aud wise pacification, as we with others had hoped for from President Hayes, will be utterly hopeless to an administration lacking the confidence and moral support of the country. The spotless reputation which has been Hayes strength hitherto will he smirched with an ugly suspicion of moral obtusenessur of fatal weakness, And if the Democrat show one-half tho prudence they may be expected to Miow, if they abstain even from glaring aud outrageous folly, they will sweep the country at the next elections and leave the Hejiubllcmis not ground enough to rlly on. A parly of great moral ideas, indebted to fraudulent or doubtful practice for a victory, will fall not Into tem porary disadvantage, but into hopeless defeat and extinction. prinjfitU JlepubUcan (Rep.)

Many supposed that the present session of tho legislature was going to be a dull and uninteresting one. Never was there a greater mistake. It promises to be a most lively and important one. Several bills havo al ready been introduced that will give rise to much earnest discussion, and moro are in course of preparation. As I predicted in my last letter a Local Option bill has been introduced Iu both the Senate ami House, and numerous petitions from all parts of the State have been presented praying for its passage. All indications point to the fact that the temperance party Is going to make a grand rally Iu support of this bill and make n desperate effort to secure its passage. It is un open secret that those, who oppose It are to ho marked down in the books of the local optionlsts for future reference, and should they ever ngaln solicit tlip suffrage of their fellow citizens for any office of hon or or profit the temperance men promise tn giu them i wy ailriitl m which their oki ic-eii.ti. 1. .1 ii pi rpleniu qll'tii.ni !

Some of the lame ducks of that memorable encounter are still waddling around the legislative halls, but it is just hjs siblo that they have learned wisdom by bit ter experience. A bill to submit to the voters of the State the proposition to remove the capital to Philadelphia came up in the House to-day on secund leading, but pending its discus sion the House adjourned and it is held over as the great seusatiuu lor to-morrow. Ther e seems to he but little prospect for the pus sago of the bill, but as it may be disposed of before this letter reaches you, it is useless to speculate upon its chances. Nothing more is heard of the million dollars worth of mil itia story, and if tho idea was ever seriously entertained it has been dropped. There are plenty of people here who would be glad to see Camp Curtiu onco more tilled up wilh troops and the streets ot Harrisburg resound ing with the clash of martial music, uud all the attendant pomp and circuinstauces ot glorious war. They remember ihe flush times of the rebellion and sigh for another chance to reap a harvest of gold. It seems that they are to bo disappointed. The resolutions iu regard to the Presiden tial question which were ipffered in the House last week Jjy Mr. Schnatterly, (and which embodied tho Democratic view of the question,) after hanging on the ragged edge of unfinished business for several days were called up on Friday last and indefinitely postponed by the unanimous consent of both parties. Each being willing to wait and see what action Congress would take upon the compromise measure agreed upon by the joint committeo of the Senato and House, The first animated debate of the se.-ton upon a bill took place in tho House to-day. It was upon u bill providing for tho pay ment of cots before an appeal could bj takenfrom the decision of a Justice of the Peace. Nearly the whole of the session was taken up in considering tho matter and not less than twenty members took part in the debate. It was finally defeated. The Democrats are holding a mcctinc in the Court House this evening to endorse the plan of counting the electoral vote agreed upon by tho joint committee of Congress. 13. A Hoy Imprisoned for Seventeen Years. A most terrible ease of parental cruelty, disclosing the imprisonment and neglect for seventeen years of an idiotic son and tlie possible murder of another has been discov ered iu Milton, Mass. About seventeen years ago, a quarrel occurred in the family of Josiah Fields, by occupation a laborer,in which the father, mother and several sons participated. In the course of the dispute, Josiah, jr., hardly of ace, offended his father by his continued obstinacy ,and tho latter as is supposed, struck the boy n severe blow, Inflicting upon him somo permanent injury. In order to prevent tho discovery of the deed the wounded lad, it is alleged, was locked in a chamber. The parents uncount ed for the sudden disappearance of the lad by stating that he had run away. They re fused to allow any of tho neighbors to visit them, and no one in the town, except the immediate members of tlie family, have been in the house since that timo until last Satur day, when one of the sorj havinj; died a few days before was buried. During that day, n Udy was going to a room, from which an almost nverpoweririe stench emanated, had tho curiosity to an- lock the door and peep in. A shocking sight met her eves un the lloor, wallowing In his own filth, lay a itrange man, naked, with lon hair and beard. A general alarm followed and tho strange creature was re cog nized as tho long missing son. On Monday the select men of the town determined tn investigate the affair. They waited upon tlie family and found a poor, half-witted fellow, sallow in complexion from his long confinement, with a nicely shaven face and cropped head. It turned out upon further investigation that during the interval between Saturday mid Monday, the inhuman parents had their son shaved und put in presentable shape. His appearance now is of an ordinary man. who stoops slightly, and has a very sallow complexion, und, what is peculiar, he is quite stout. The family assign no reason for having kept him concealed all these years, and will not allow him to be seen by any ono at the present time. What adds to tho terror f the, foregoing story is the fact that another son has also been missing fur upward of sixteen years aid at the time of ids disappeurauce au old well near tho house was suddenly filled up. Tho wildut excitement prevails here, and pending the digging out of tho well the Fields family aie under surveillance.

It is now importing weasels for the destruction of the rabbits. A bill will be shortly Introduced in the Viiginia Senate doing away with the send ing of persons convicted of the lower grades of crimo to the penitentiary, nnd instead to make tkem work on the roads iu the county in which the offence, is committed. Captain Boyton recently accomplish ed the task of swimming down the river Po from Turin to Ferrara,a distanco of eight hundred miles, in ninety six hours, without a single stoppage. Tho famous butter woman of the Centen nial has become one of the attractions of the New "i'ork Aquarium. Mrs. Brooks is her name, and she has been engaged to mould butter in artistic forms for the edifi cation of tho admiring crowds which throng the Aquarium. It appears to be the opinion of railroad men that the terrible disaster at Ashtabula ou the Lake Shore railroad was caused by the second locomotive jumping tbo track. Tho train, owing to the storm, ai will be re membered, was pulled by two engiues. If this be tho case It sufficiently accounts for the destruction nf the bridge. The towns of Lykens and Wicnnisco, wliich are located a few hundred yards from each other, owe their population to the fact that the Short Mountain and Lykens mines nro locatedthere. Should tho burning mints be destroyed it would Drove an irreparable lo tn tho towns, which have each about y.OOO inhabitants. Tuekolotoo or Hannah, the Esquimaux woman who, with her husband and child, was among tfio party separated from the Polaris nnd ;noated for 150 days on tho ice floe, has justi died at (ircton.

Tho election of a President In Peru is at- ifn,l..l wltli int(!nt,tinL' incidents. The last elcr-timi was becun ou October 17, and con tinued eight, days, ending in the victory of Gen. Prado. Tlie Utiles or polling oootns are placed in th public squares, jone In each parish, and the result depends less ob the actui.l fran cbise. than on which party gets possession ot these tables. In this Instance, na miml thtr Dkrtlcs armed themselves pre vious to tlie election, on the first day of whic'a all ilaes r business were Closes, iu Lima firing- was begun at midnight and at daylight all, the tallies had beeu captured by Pratlo's ao) lieienti.

Don't you see It's all rlght7'' And stilt tho people say that Tib den is elected. They refuse to dance, the Southern merchants don't buy, tho New Or leans bankers don't lend and the Northern merchants don't sell. It is too bad, but what are you going to do about it? While the Louisiana returning board were at their villainous work, there was some hesitation nnd doubt as to the extent to which it would bo safe to carry the ''throw ing out" bushiest, and the Inclination seem ed to bo to give the State to Have" by n very slender msjority, At this Juncture Zieh Chandler letoginphrd to New Orleans that Ilxyi s was ht'C'Uiing restive about tne iippnrent swindle, nnd il would be tiociwiry tn give him a good round tmj iriiy to quiet his nerves, F..r that reason the figures hi e set up to three or four thousand, and John Sherman wrote the atrocious: jumble of lie which Grant sent to Congress as a defense of his Infamous work. Chicago Times. Zick nnd William E. Chamlbr refused to tell the committee of Congress what they know about counting in llnyesnn the ground that they are privileged persons. Zick wn- chalrman of tho National Republican com mittee, but refuted tn niswer questions about the campaign because he is a member of the cabinet. William E. was sent to Florida bt tlie President to "witness nn honest count,' but claims that he was tho legal adviser nf the returning board, and that what lie knows about the action nf that body ho received in his professional capacity, and he refuses to tell what he knows. All tho time these wor t'lics aro saying that Hayes was honestly elected. If he was why deep back the truth ? A Case in Hrnesrlale, Pa. I was attacked with the liver complaint which apparently brought me to the brink of the crave.
