Those who were elected in Febiuary, 1873, and whose terms expire between the first Monday of A pill, 1S77, and the fust Monday of April, 1878, have their terms extended to the fust Monday of April, 1873. Their successors, by the act of March 10, 1875, must be elected in Feb uary, 1878, This applies to assessors whose terms would have expired the day after the election 1S7G in November. Their trrtns are extended to April, 1879. And the constables will be continued to the same time, if they were sworn in after the hi st Moud.y of lust Apiil." ---b Tim investigation before the Congies sional committee iuto the facts of t lie Lou ho.iiia election presents the most shameful record of political fiaud and debauchery thnt was ever exhibited in all our previous bitter contests in this country. All honest men of both parties are sick unto death with the detailstjf the villainies of J. Madi son Wells and the other members of the infamous Returning Board of that State. No measure of perjury, foigery or fraud seems to have been considered by the Board too monstrous for its merulert to at tempt, either through the hope of pecuniary gain or ambition. the P111-lei pbia Time well reniaisf, "the most damning evidence before the nation to-day is the mute but terribly ersuasive appeal of the hidden original leturnsof the State, which the members of the Return Board refuse to deliver even under the penalty of imprison ment. If their record 4 were honest and could be sustained by the honest ret urns of the vote of the people, they would bare been the first evidence presented to the Committee when the inquiry began." Moke than a quarter of a century ago the foundation was laid in Washington city of a national monument to crpetuate the memory of General George Washing ton. Its original design contemplated the highest structure of the kind in the world, the entire height to be over five hundred feet. The most elegant and polished blocks of marble and other rematkable stones from almost every civilized country in the world, were sent by their respective governments to the Monument Association at Washington, to aid in its erection, so that when completed it might greet the lays of the morning sun in bis coming and that his parting beams in the evening illicit linger and play around its summit. Hut this grand conception was not to be realized. Up to 1332 the monument was elected, in all its magnificent propoitions, m the height of about two numbed feet, sod then, for the want of funds and other rftii, the work was suspended and has continued so np to this day, to thelasring disgrace of the country.

On the same day Geotgia with its eleven votes was counted for Tilden ; Indiana, fifteen votes for Til den ; Illinois, twenty votes for Hayes ; Iowa, eleven votes, for Hayes; Kansas, fire votes for Hayes; and Kentucky, twelve votes for Tilden.

We are free to admit, however, that if the decision of ! the commission in the Florida case not to i go behind the certificate of the Governor, and thus investigate fraud in Ihe count of the actual vote, is applied to the Louisiana case, the chances for Tilden, who was en dorsed by a majority of 200,000 voters of the country, will become small by degrees ' and beautifully less. If the bold, notori- ' ous and shameless frauds in this Louisiana i affair will not be allowed to be exposed and brought to the light of day, their Presi dential elections are a broad farce, and four corrupt scoundrels iu a room in New Orleans can dictate who shall and who shall not be the ruler over the 40,000,000 people t-f this vaunted free country. In the Florida case the commission, by a vote of 8 to 7, decided that it would receive evidence as to the ineligibility of Humph reys, one of the Hayes electois, and after hearing the matter fully'discusscd, sustain ed his election. Of course the commission even if it refuses to go behind Ihe frauds of the Louisiana Returning Board, will al low proof that tiro of the Hayes elector in that State, Brewster and Levissee, were ineligible, both United States officers at the time of their election. No decision could possibly be reached on this question to-day (Thursday), and our readers, like ourselves, must patiently wait for the ver dict, If Hayes assumes the Presidency under the false and fraudulent count or Wells and his Returning Board, he will be regaided as a usurper by a vast majority of the Amei icau people. We see it stated that a bill is pending before the present Legislature to reduce the fees of all county officers. The pres cut fe bill was passed iu I8G8 and is per fectly plain in all its details, regulating or specifying the compensat ion r each and every such officer. We have not sean the bill referred to and cannot therefore ex-pi-ess e.ny opinion in reference to the modi fications or tt he bill of 1SG3 which it pro fioses to make. We may say, however, that as n general rule we are opposed to the frequent altera! ion, or change, by the Legislation of the fees of county officer, and this for many obvious reason. But if that body, in its collected wisdom, be liveslhat the present fees are loo excess ive, let it by all means supply the act of 1803 by an entirely new one, and Ihen, in the interest of the je:plo as well as tho officers, let thnt act. stand as the law, and 'm.t bo the subject of constant legislative discussion and change. The new consti tution requires that, the compensation ot county officers shall be regulated by law," but that Ihe compensation, or fees, then or now allowed shall continue to be receiv ed by them until the expiration of their respective terms or ofnee ; and that in counties containing over one hundred and fifty thousand inhabit nuts the pay of all county officers shall be fixed by salary TI ii latter constitutional p.'ovfcion only applies to the three count iesof Philadelphia, Luzerne and Allegheny, and an act was passed by the Legislature at its last session, in obedience to this requirement of the con stitution, regulating i,v n fixri salary the compensation of all officers in the three counties named, without interfering, bow ever, with the existing fees of any officer inanyofhrr county. The present bill, if it should become a law, is therefore only to go into effect after the terms of the inenm lient now in office expire. As a matter of information for those who aro not familiar with the penalties of the law against tak ing illegal fpe. we append the act of 18(30 on that subject : If any Justice, Clerk, Prothonntary, Sher iff, Coroner. Oo.istahle, or other officer of this ; rmmon wealth, shall llfully and frandttleiit- rewant whatever not. or more ll.sn i. i. lowed asafor.-said, he shall he deemed guilty nf a mUlemcanor in olflee and on eon vi.ih.n sentenced to pny a Hn not excetdinv flr Ii.indml dollars or to undergo Ru imprison- Went not exeetnling oim vrar. j i riiii trtntjm TrrtsroS UEMOCK.MIC OBJECTIONS TI1KHETO ir.ii VI ...:. - .. - ..
