Bald that however competent the jurisdiction
of tlio court, It was too late In making Its
decision, and then they proceeded, In tho
exercise of a jurisdiction exactly similar, to
decide tho samo questions of fact and law
the other way. Now nomes the query: If
the court's decision was worthless because It
was late, what was tho value of tlio commis
sion's judgment, which was later? Tho
eight did actually, not In words, but In sub
stance and effect, give vent to tho bald ab
surdity that It was too latu In January to de
cide the dispute In favor of Tilden, but not
too late In February to decide It in favor of
Hayes.
i.v r-vvor. or riuun every time.
Another thing they said: This judgment,
though it proved tlio fact that the Hayes
claimants wcro not duly appointed, and had
no title to tho office of electors, did not in-
validate tho acts previously done by them
while they were de facto In the exercise ol
the powers they usurped. There is a just
and necessary rule of law which declares
that tho validity of acts regularly done by
nil officer shall not depend on tho title by
which he holds tho office. Von may remove
a Sheriff by a 7110 warranto, without destroy-
lug tho title of all who purchase! land at
his sales, or a Judge without vacating his
decrees, ora trcasiirerwlthoutHaylngthat his
psymcnt of a public debt is not satisfac
tion ; but where a person assumes special au
thority lo do a particular thing tho validity
of tho act does depend on tho authority to do
It. This latter rule applies here. These
electors claimed a right to voto for tho State
under a special appointment given them to
do that one act. When a competent court
abjudicated as matter ot tact that the Mayor
electors had no appointment, jt was a logical
and legal necessity which declared tho un-
authorized votes to be null and void. If this
wcte not tho principle, then any imposter, or
nny number of imposters, might send ui. heir
ballots, and one would be as good as another.
lint again, let it not be forgotten that the
Tilden electors had also voted nt the same
time in tho same way. Why did not this
fact makn as much weight for them as for
the others? It will excite the wonder of
tho world to learn that, in the opinion of the
eight, a peron who voted tinder an appoint
ment given him by the people according to
law could not be oven a tie f.icto elector, but
another person who had nothing to claim
by except tho false, fraudulent, and void dec
laration of a Heturning Hoard was good de
facto, if lie was good for nothing else. This
doctrino of de facto sanctification, saving
acta which have no other "relish of salva
tion in them," and making the votes of un
authorized men as good as if they came from
persons duly appointed, cuts a great figu re
throughout the whole case. It is not appll
cable, but the eight apply it every wherend,
strange to say, they do not use it when it
does not make in favor of some fraud or
other. One who votes according to the pub
lic will of the State, legally expressed
through the ballot-boxes, is de facto nothing.
Hut if he was defeated or ineligible, he is
dejfacto all he wants to be. One of the Hayes
electors in Louisiana was a Federal officer
bis election was forbidden by the Constitu
tion of the United btates.nnd ho was not
elected but beaten at the polls; de facto
strained its utmost power on him, and pulled
him through in spite of Constitution and
people both. But his Democratic competi
tor, who had acted as an elector in the same
way and to the same extent, was legally
chosen by an overwhelming majority; there
fore de facto could do nothing for him,
FRAUD UNDEKTHE FOItMS OF LAW
In all the discussions of the subject tho
men disposed to favor the conspiracy pro
fessed a most profound veneration lor the.
"forms of law." This was the keynote
utmet ,tVw Orleins hv thn VUilimr fv,.
struck at rew uneans uy tne Visiting bora-
mittee, and it is heard in every subsequent
argument of counsel and commissioner on
that Side. It seemed to be understood among
them that a formal cheat was perfectly sate
lrom exposure. If the sepulchre was whited
on the outside, it made no diflerence that it
was filled with "corruption, dead men's
bones,- and all uncleanness." No refuge of
lies could be swept away, no hiding place of
falsehood could over be uncovered, if it was
built in the prescribed form. Only give it
the legal shape, and the overflowing scouree

ever valuable as a covering for fraud, was, in I
their judgment, no protection for truth or
justice or public right. The will ol
Louisiana was pronounced at the election
with all the solemnities required by the
law of the State and of the United States.
Tne appointment of the Tilden electors
on the 7th of .November was a perfectly
legal piece of work ; there was not a flaw in
It as It cuDin from the hands of the appoint'
ing power. But it was looked on with per
feet contempt. Neither tho Visiting Com'
mittee, nor the Hayes counsel, npr the eight
Commissioners, bestowed on it any of their
love. Their ail'ections were otherwise engag
ed; they gavo the homage and devotion of
their hearts to the beautiful regularity, the
exquisite precision, with which the Return
ing Board compounded its false certificate,
Another paradox of the eight is curious
enough to be noted. They declared repeat
edly that they had no power to try a contest'
ed election case, and for that reason they
would not look at the evidence which showed
what persons were duly appointed electors
uy me people. low marlci lhecase was
this. Each of these notes came uccompa
nied by what was asserted to be proof that it
was cast by electors duly appointed, The
conflict was to be determined by the verify
inp power which Congress unquestionably
has, and which the Commissioners expressly
assumed when they swore that they would
decide who were duly appointed. To decide
it one way or the other required precisely
. i. n i t...i., i .....
mu iiiiii junsuicuon, anu caned into exer
cise exactly the same faculties. Yet thev
held that if they decided according to the
truth in favor of the' electors actually ap
pointed they would be trying a contested
election ; but ir they decided in favor of th(
pretenders who had nothlnir but afraudu
lent certificate, they would not be trying a
contested election ; in other words, their in.
risdictlon was full and amnle to deeldo It
falsely, but wholly unequal to the duty of
ucciuing it iruiy.

jveep in ramu that tbelr defined duty wa

and think how they performed It in this part
of the case. Brewster was not only defeated
at the poll, like the rest; he was besides a
federal ofliceholder, and the Contltutlnn
be appointed an elector. But for the pur-
lKe of electing Mr, lfoyrs hi, TOte was
worth as much as all the others. To get that
Voto for their candidate thoy were required
to go further than they went .for any of tho
rest, and to they held: 1. That tho certi
ficate of the Returning Hoard was propria
rigort an appointment. 2. That It was a duo
appointment, though corrupt and dishonest.
3. "That this was a voto provided for by the
Constitution, though the Constitution in
plain words provided against it.
THE FULL EXTENT OF THE OUTRAGE.
After all, thcro was but one question be
fore the commission. Had tho American
people a right to elect their own Chief Mag
istrate ? They had the right. Their ances
tors struggled for It long, fought for It often,
and won It fairly, llelng embedded in
their Constitution, It cannot bo destroyed
except "by a force, strong enough to over
throw tho organic ntruetu.ro of tho Govern
ment itself. Legislative enactments or judl-
claldccisions are powerless cither to strength
en or Impair it. The legerdemain of law
craft, tho catches of special pleading, tho
snapperadocs of practice, do not help us to
decide a matter llko this. A great nation
must not be impaled upon a pin's point.
Precedents which might bind a Court of
Quarter Ses!loncletermIuing tho settlement
of a pauper cannot tie up tho hands of tho
sll)remo legislature dofendingii fundamental
rght of tll0 wll0i0 people. When Gren-
ln 17CC( clteii tlie m,thorlty of divers
... l n that America micht be taxed
,..,., rM,re,.ntallnn. Pitt answered: "I
, )lcro rinf,,i at n ()nl, ,vt, tin
.,., .iniiblnlMown in don's cars to
. f j the of liberty. I can ackuowl-
edge no veneration for any procedure, law,
or ordinance, that is repugnant to reason
and the llrst principles of our Constitution.
I rejolco that America has resisted." so
spoke the defiant friend of our race in tho
presence of a hostile Parliament ten years
before tho Declaration of Independence.
And now, after this long Interval of time,
wo behold our greatest right the right on
which all other rights depend successfully
assailed in our own Congress with tho same
u wea)0M tnlt Grcnvillo used. II
brut(J forcc haJ crusheii it out, we might
iiava borno tho calamity with fortitude ; but
to see it circumvented by knavery and petti-
f,! to death, is too much to be endured
wilh any8U0w 0f patience.
If the ma jor jty 0f that commission could
bu, have realized their responsibility to God
and man, if they could only have understood
that in a free 6ountry liberty and law are in
separable, they would have been enrolled'
among our greatest benefactors, for they
would havo added strength and grandeur to
our Institutions, lint they could not come
up to the height of the great subject. Party
passion so benumbed their faculties that a
fundamental right seemed nothing to them
when it came in conllict with some argu
ment supported by artificial reasoning, and
drawn from the supposed analogies of tech
nical procedure. The Constitution was in
their judgment, outweighed by a void stat
ute and tho action of a corrupt Keturning
Board.
Let these things be remembered by our
children's children ; and if the friends of free
government shall ever again have such a
contest, let them take care how they leave
the decision of it to a tribunal like that
which betrayed the nation by enthroning
the Great Fraud of 1870.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
veRetablo alteratives Stillincia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
tlio diseases it is intended to cure.
Its incredients aro so skilfully com
bined, that the full alterative ellect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to bo harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from tho
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease,
Tho reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and tho confidence which
uroiiiinent physicians all over the coun
try rejioso in it, prove their experience
ot its usefulness.
Ceitillcates attesting itsvirtues have
accumulated, and are constantly beinir
received, and as many of these cases aro
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority o this Sar
saparilla over every other alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
