TIIK CHISIS TASSRI).
The dy ftcr tin l'ro!tlnritial election, it
11m universally eonco-.letl that Tildcn nnl
Hendricks woro elected. Astounded nt tl;o
result, Chandler and Oatucron resolved to rc
nort to their faniiliarnme of fraud and vio
lence. Troops and money were piomised and
supplied. Supple Returning llivurds n'urped
tho functions of the people, and assumed to
cast out or add to returns nt their pleasure.
And then tho startling doctrine was enunciat
ed that tho President of tho Senate had the
solo power vested in himself to select, open
and count lueh return as ho deomed iiilvisn
llo. But tho pojple wore n t thus .to bo trifled
with. Their muttering', deep, though not
loud, reached even the man tit tha Wh'to
Houso. Statesmanship and patrio'Nm came
to tho roso-ic, and tho attempted fraud win
tumbled with iu leaden to tho dust. A tri
bunal has boon established to lUtcrinina in n
peaceable mid legal manner the gravest que -tion
that has ever arisen iu this nation.
Avoto was tnken in the Senate on Thnrj-
day morning, when 47 voted for tho hill an!
17 against it. Of thn aflinnativn votes 2f.
Wire Democrats and 1! I Republicans, mid of
tho negatives all wcro Republicans but one,
Katon. of Counocticut. Tho bill was imme
diately w;nt over to the Houso, whore the de
bite was opined and a numlicr of speeches
W ro made for and against it.
fcThe debate was closed about 5 p. m., Fri
day afternoon, when tho Speaker announced
that fie vote would now le taken ou the final
passage of the bill. Finally tho count was
completed and the result announced yeas
JO J, nays 8C. 01 those who voted in the af
firmative 159 were. Democrats and 32 Repub
licans, and in the negativo 18 were Demo
crat and OS Republicans. All the Demo.
crat9 and two Republicans from Pennsylvania
voted for tho bill, and sixteen Republicans
againt iL
The condition of the vote justifies us in
saying that the measure was essentially a
Democratic one, and though believing that
Tildcn was fairly elected, such was our faith
in the justice of his causa that we willingly
submitted the matter to an impartial iribu
nal , Tho following gentlemen constituto the
commission. Senators Geo. F. Kdmunds, K., F.T. Fro
linghuybcn, R., O. P. Morton, It., A. G.
Tlmrman, D., T. F. Bayard, D. .

Judges. X. Clifford, D., S. F. Miller, R.,
S.J. Field, D., AV. Strong, It., .T. Bradley,

If Morton had any self respect he would
mf. have accepted the position, ui he has
already prejudged tho case by declaring
tbe the measure unconstitutional. Nor
should Garfield have liccn chosen, be
cause ho has on former occasions justified
tho Louisiana frauds. It would also have
"been betfer had Judge Davis been selected in
place of Bradley, not only because he is inde
pendent in politics, but lias much more abili
ty as a jurist. Nevertheless, we consider the
Commission a fair one, and believe that none
of the Judges will permit their names to go
down to posterity as accessories to the frauds
by which it is sought to make Hayes Presi
"dent. Grant, notwithstanding tho outside
pressure, promptly signed the bilL Vi'e give
his message in another column. Wo shall
give our readers full details of the future ac
tion of Congress and the Commission on this
all-important question.
RADICAL FOLLY.
The hatred of the Republican party
towards our citir.ensof foreign birth is no less
notorious than its alleged devotion to the
negro. Tbe Press, which is the leadidg Re
publican organ in this State says :
"To tEeir(the freedmen'8)industry they have
added an eager hunger for intelligence, and
they have always vottd their opinions when
they were not interrupted. They had none
of tbe epportunities offered to the ignorant
foreigner in the North, who is always pushed
to the polls, too frequently without prepara
tion or examination,"
Our "ignorant foreigners in the North,"
our Irishmen, Germans, Englishmen, Ac.,
should resent such an insult. They are not
only placed below the level of the negro by
the Preei, but are insulted as to their intelli
gence in voting. How an intelligent for
eigner can train with such a party is beyond
our comprehension.
ANOTHER PKF.CEUEST.
Now that tho Electoral commission has
become a fixed facts the following precedent
is ofvalue as bearing upon the Oregon case.
In Price v. llaler, the KupremeJCourt says :
"It is a principle of law well settled in
this State, that where a majority of the bal
lots at an election arc given to a candidate
who is not eligible to the office, the Dallow
ho cast are not to bo counted for any purpos.e
They cannot be counted to elect the ineligi
ble candidate, or to defeat the election of an
opposing candidate by showing that he did
not receive a majority of the votes cast at
such election. They are regarded as illegal
and as having no eflcctupou tbo election for
any purpose. As u consequence, it follows
that the candidate who is eligible, having
ihe hiirliest number of legal votes. thouEh
that number may be less than the number
r.r vnlm east for tbe ineligible candldate.and
less than a majority of all the votes cast at
such election, is entitled to tbe office. Uul'trt-
v. A w, 14 IllU. 3."
THE REMOVAL OK THE CAPITAL,
There is now tbe annual spasmodic effort
to revive this question, irue, uarnsuurg
Is not a lovablo place. Its peoplo are not
noted for hospitality, nor its landlords for
reasonable charges. Hut iu Philadelphia
members and their families would feel much
stranger, and the expenses of living would
be much increased. The State lines must
remain as they are, and the capital should
not be changed. The people do not demand
it. Our new Constitution leaves but littl
for our legislature to do ; and when they
ronie to meet biennially, f they mean, teorl
Harrlsburg offers all needed facilities.
Blnce the above was written the House by
the decisive vote of 124 to .ri7 has indefinite
ly postponed the bill.
Col. McDonald of whisky ring notcriety has
been pardoned by the President and Joyce
expects soon to rejoice at a similar instance
of executive clemency. There may bo peo
ple who.will grumble at the release of thco
thieves, and asnert that there is little use
pcodiug time and money in convicting them,
but such pewons overlook the "moral effect
on the community which their imprisonment
must produce. Ah! that's it the "moral
effect" having Ltcu produced why continue
I be impii-onment see I
text of the President's Menus.
Tho following is the President's message
concerning tho electoral bill :
To tho Senate of the United States: I
follow the example heretofore occasionally
presented of communicating in this mode
my approval of tho act to provide for and
regulato the counting pf the votes for Presi
dent and Vice-President, and tho decision of
questions arising thereon, because of my
appreciation of the Immineut poril to the
institutions of the country from which in
my judgment tho act affords a wiso and con
ettt u tioiiat means of escape.
For the first time in the history of our
country, under tho constitution asit now is,
a dispute exists with regard to the result of
the election of the chief magistrate of tho
nation. It Is understood that upon tho dis
position of disputes touching tho electoral
votes cast at tho late election by one or mure
of tbe States, depends the question whether
one or the other of the candidates for tbe
Presidency is tho lawful chief magistrate.
The importance of having clearly ascertain
ed by a procedure regulated by law, which
of the two citizens has been elected and of
having the right to this high ollicv recogniz
ed and cheerfully agreed in by all the people
of the Republic emmet be overestimated,
and leads mo to express tit Congress and to
tho nation n y great satisfaction at tho adop
tion of a incisure that affords an orderly
means hi decision of a gravely exciting ques
tion, While tho history ot our cotiutry in
its earliest periods slums that the President
uf tho Senate has counted the votes and de
clared their standimr. our whole liistorv
shnivs that in no instance of doubt or dispute
has ho exercised the power of deciding, and
that the two bodies of Congress have dispos
ed of all such'doulits anddisputes.nltliotigli iu
no iusta'icp hlthnto .lavelncii t' e s tub that
their difl-ioii tnulil essentially have affected
the U'sult. For the first time, then, the gov
ernment of the United States is now brmigfil
to meet the question as one vital to tlu re
tili, and 'tin under itintlitimis tint the-brsi
slculated to pioduee an agreement, or in
riurv calm feeling iu theeveml branches (
the government, or aiming the people of tho
country In ft caso tthtrc, as now, the result
is in doubt, it is the highest duty of the law
making power to provide in adverce a con
stitutional, orderly and just method of exe
cuting the constitution in tho most interest
ing and critical of iu provisions.
Tl.o doing so, far from being n compro
mise of right, is an enforcement of right nrd
an execution of powers conferred by the con
stitution on Congress. I think that this or
derly method has been secured by this bill,
wuicu, appealing to. tbe constitution and the
law as the guide in ascertaining rights pro
vides a means of de.'iding questions of single
returns through the direct action of Congress
and iu respect to double returns by a tribu
nal ot inquiry whose decisions stanu unless
both houses of Congress shall consent in de
termining otherwise, thus securing a definite
disposition of all questions of dispute in
whatever aspect they may arise. With or
without Ibis law, as all of the States have
voted, and as a tic vote is imposslble.itmust
be that one of the two candidates has been
elected, and It would be deplorable to wit
ness an irregular controversy as to which of
the two should receive, or which should con
tinue to hold the office.
Another Whisky Ringster Pardoned.
The pardon of General John M'Donald,
of "Whisky Ring" notoriety, to which re-
fcJence was lately made iu these dispatches,
has been signed by the President. The fol
lowing telegram was handed to Gen. M'Don
ald, at Jefferson City, about three o'clock
this afternoon :
Wasiiisotos, January 23. Gen. John
M'Vonatd, Jefferson City; Llfo, liberty,
ictory I Pardon signed and sealed.
Thomas C. Fletchiui.
The general, at his quarters inthehospi.
tl of the penitentiary, manifested no partic
ular surpriso on receiving tho news, but
took it with that coolness which has char
acterized bis demeanor since his incarcera
tion.
AN'OTIIUrt l'AKDOJf EXPECTED.
Colonel Joyce, who is in remarkably good
pints, expects his pardon in a few days.
Mrs. Joyce is now on a visit to a sister in
Topeka, Kansas. She will return to Jeffer
son City next Monday.
Littlefieid, clerk of the Louisiana Return-
ng Board, was examined by the Morrison
house committee on Tuesday. He testified
that on the 3d of December he altered the
original returns from two of the polls iu
Vernon Parish, so as to transpose 178 Demo
cratic voters over to the Republican candi
dates. He further testified that be did this
by express direction of Gov. Wells, and that
fter making copies of the altered originals,
tho latter were burned either by himself or
Governor Wells. Ho did not remember
which, but at all events with Gov. Wells'
knowledge.
This is the most important 'evidence of
deliberate fraud yet made public. As mat
ters now look Gov. Wells stands a most en
couraging chance of spending somo of his
future life in tho Penitentiary. His crime
involves not only the wilfulful altering
of official returns and the dlstruction ot orig
inal public documents but also perjury and
subornation of perjury. Light'seems to be
eaking through the dark cloud of cor
ption and rascality which has hitherto
hidden the truth from the people.
Tho examination of Louis Kenner, the
bar keeper and one of the Louisiana Ke
rning Hoard, before the Congressional
Committee, on Saturday -led to some rich
developments. Kenner didn't know any
thing about altered returns or anything else
connected with tbe operations of the Board,
but greatly to his surprise be was confronted
1th the original returns of ernon parish
where the alterations were plainly visible to
the naked eye. Kenner could not see them
with a magnifying glass at first, but finally
bad to acknowledge his own handwriting.
this parish the votes for Tilden had been
all transferred to Hayes and tbe majorities
just reversed. The further theso investiga
tions proceed tbe worse it looks for the
Hoard.
The Republican organs offer some mighty
pretty reading uow-a-days relative to. the
Electoral Commission bill. The New York

OUR HARRISBURO LETTER.
t
nARRtSBOKO, January 31, 1877.
There has been no lack of exciting topics
and lively debates In both the Senate and
House during the last ten days. Whllo the
Senate has been fighting over a set of reso
lutions endorsing tho Congressional compro
mise bill, the Houso has been just as earn
estly engaged in debating the question of tho
removal of the capital to Philadelphia. Tho
matter of endorsing tho electoral bill was
practically settled In the negative by its ref
erence to the Committee on Federal Rela
tions. Thtre has been a rumor extant to
the effect that two or three of the Republi
can members of this committee would unite
with the Democrats and report th,o resolu
tions to tho Senate with a favorable recom
mendation and that then enough Republican
Senators wutld vote for them to secuio their
passage. At last uccunt.s,J however, they
still hung fire in committee and the general
opinion i that they will never einerno Irom
their present seclusion. Similar resolutions
were offered in the Houso and were referred
to the Committee on Federal Rel itioi.s of
that body without debate.
Tho proposed removal of the capital to
Philadelphia received its quietus in the
House yesterday, a motion to indefinitely
postpone the question being adopted by a
vote of 124 yeas to 67 nays.
During thn protracted debates upon this
bill its friends and opponent became verj
arm in their arguments and both lliirris-
burg and Philadelphia rtcolvid mine com
pliments uta very dubious character, liar-
risburg was called a little, insignificant, one
horse inlfid village, tbsl llvis through the
umiii. r upon what it made tr f the legis
lature in the winter; and Philadelphia was
alluded to a a perfect sink-hole uf corrup
tion, full of snares and temptations that
ould brjuilo simple legislators from the
rural district, and ruin them, should it ever
became the capital ot the State. Tho debate
wound up with a fight between the Phila
delphia and Pittsburg delegations as to
which of these two cities had been most suc
cessful in sucking the State Treasury teat
daring the last two years. The only point
established beyond a doubt was that both
had sucked hard and drawn copiously from
the bags of the Commonwealth.
Quito a little breeze, was raised in the
House ou Friday last by the introduction of
resolution by Mr. Long, of Allegheny, de
claring that Hayes and Wheeler had receiv
ed a majority of the electoral votes legally '
cast and were therefore elected, and ought
to be inaugurated by the constituted author-
ties on the 4th of March next. Seeing that
the resolutions would be adopted by the
House, tho Democrats refused to vote, and
left the hall for the purpose of leaving the
House without a quorum. The yeas and
nays were called and as wits expected there
was no quorum voting. The Democrats
thought they had accomplished their object,
and several of tbe more unsophisticated of
them re-entered the hall, whereupon the
Speaker ordored the roll to be called and di
rected the doorkeepers to allow no member
to pass out until it was completed. A quo
rum having thus been secured, a vote was
gain taken and the resolution was adopted
by a large majority.
Last evening tho House Committee or
Vice and Immorality agreed to report the
local option bill with a favorable recommen
dation. Nearly every day petitions are pre
sented praying for its passage, and when it
get fairly before tho House there will be a
perfect deluge of thorn from all sections of
the State. There has been a quiet but
strong pressure brought upon the committee
to smother this bill, but they have at last
decided to let it loose, and members will
now be compelled to face the music. Not
withstanding the assertions of the friends of
the bill and their seeming confidence, I am
decidedly of the opinion that it cannot pass
this winter.
As yet no bills have been passed by the
House, but, what is perhaps still better, it
has defeated several. Over a hundred bills,
however, have been favorably reported from
the various committees and are in such
shape that they can be disposed of without
asting any time. The session will proba
bly bo a short though busy one. A resolu
tion has been introduced providing for a fi
nal adjournment on tbo 15th day of March
next, and it will probably bo adopted.

Governor Nicholls, of Louisiana, having
appointed D. Pierson as District Jtdge of
Natchitoches parish, that officer took posses
sion of the Court on the 20th of January and
suspended all the Republican officials of the
parish. Statements uf the case were made to
Grant, who, alter doe deliberation, has de
cided that the case is a violation of tho statu
guo and has ordered General Augur to restore
the deposed officials. Grant is not quite
ready to lecognizo Packard as Governor of
Louisiana, but he is getting as close to it as
ho well can by denying tho validity of Gover
nor Nicholls' commissions. Frty Philadel
phia lawyers couW not follow the legal work
ings of tbe IVesident's mind not even if Taft
wasn't Attorney General.
Grant has grown loquacious of late ; be
pours out bis bouI to press correspondents on
every occasion and on all topics. His last
entitle waa on the subject of the finances
and he expressed tbe opinion that specie pay
ments can be secured by changing the Re-
sum ptlon act so as to make the date for the
redemption of U, S. notes in gold tbe 1st of
March next. He is preparing a, message to
Congress on the subject. The, finances get
along very much better when they are let
alono and a President who could tolerate
lloutwell as Secretary of the Treasury doesn't
seem exactly tbo ooo to aid them by med
dling.

C, has decided that neither Chamberlain
nor Hampioh-vnw legally iustaled as Gover
nor of South Carolina, and that Chumber

qualified. Judge Carpenter's (decision was
wrltteu in Washington, and promulgated on
his return to Columbia. The decision is not
deemed of any special importance as a case
involving tbe same iiuestlou is now pending
before the SupJcme Court of tho State.whose
finding will be conclusive. ,
