Senator EJmunJi of Vermont, better things
might have been expected. Ha lias nlirnys
borne n reputation for honesty and Integrity
nnd possesses undoubted ability. He will
find It difficult to explain bis action to the
better clas of people in this country, so a?
to convince them that their previous confi
dence In him was not mlsp)a:cil.
With such material it Is easy to bo seen
how the outrageous decision was reached,
The work of last Friday will serve to keep
fresh if not fragrant the names of these
eight men who abused the fattk of the nation
and proved recreant to their trust.
Of the Supreme Court as at present con
stituted It is only necessary to say that none
of Its decisions hereafter will be received
save with distrust. The purity of tbo Court
has disappeared and the people have learned
with shame and sorrow, that those whom
they had deemed jurists of unimpeachable
honor have, In the hour of trial, prostituted
their hls,h office to the furtherance of par
tisan cnds.and trampled under foot both law
and equity to secure the counting in of a
defeated candidate.

On Friday last when the legislature ad
journed over until Wednesday the members
Immediately scattered in all directions, some
to, their homes, ."ome to Washington and
some to Morganzs. But few remained in
Hurrisburg. There was much opposition to
this adjournment, but the great deslro of
many of tho members to be at home during
tne elections prevailed over other coosidera. J
tions. Those who did not take a special
interest in the elections took a trip to Wash

aro so out of joint that some measure of this

-It Us look at tbe men who voted to sus
tain 'fraud. They are, Bradley, Edmunds,
rellnghuyfen, C!itrlield,Hoar, Miller, Mor
toil and Strong. Bradley and fcStiong were
two railroad lobbyists in Washington, work
ing In tho Interests of Now Jersey and
lenuylvanla roads, respectively. They were
liut'Upon tbe Supreme Beuch by Grant, for
tho purpose of fcccurini: a reversal of Chief
Justice Chow's decision in the legal tender
case. As Grant announced beforehand that
he would appoint no one not pledged to this
revenal, it is fair to suppose that bis ap
pointees "tut on the Bench with their
opinions In their pockets. This Is why two
railroad attorneys occupy seats which ouly
the purest nud ablest lawyers should fill.
Oarfield Is well known to fame, principally,
however, In connection with the DeOolyer
paieincnt fraud, son e years ago, wherein be
made inure money than reputation. He is
neither lawyer, statesman uor geutleman
but ilinply a very bad style of partisan poli
tician. Both be and Morton bitterly op-
pored tbe Electoral Commission bill, and
pronounced it unconstitutional, and alter
wards with Ineffable effrontery accepted seat
as members of tbe CommUslon, Nobody
exjectcd anything of old Miller, another
riupreiue Court Justice. "His mind," as we
presume- he calls It, was made up before tbo
proceedings began. Hoar and Krellnghuy
vn are both bitter partlns,inrap ale of dis
jiasslonate judgment. Of one naa ouly,
mittee not to investigate the bank accounts
ot Mr.Tildenand 7-ack Chandler, Mr. Til
den has written a vigorous letter to Senator
hernau repudiating auy such agreement.
There Is nothing in his accounts that will
not bear investigation and he desires, no pro'
tectlon. His letter concludes as follow "As
to this arrangement uow reported, I have
only to say that I can accept decorum and
decency, but not a fictitious equivalent, for
a mantlo ot secrecy to any body else."
Mr, Til Jen states bis willingness to appear
betore tue Uommlttcc if subpoenaed.
If Zack Chandler's bauk accounts will not
bear tho light of day he can get no aid from
Mr. Tilden iu preventing investigation
