From Washington Jan. H wo have it
that the President nominated Levi P
I.uekcy, who was implicated with bib
cock in the Whiskey conspiracy, to la-
Sec re tary of Utah Territory.
Just like Grant after pardoning the
whisky thieves, he rewards them with
new appointments, to go on and steal
again.
The local opt ion is t* are stirring and
intend to revive the local option cause.
The executive committee met at li.irtis
burg on t>. Reaolutiona were adopted to
employ four lecturers, who* duty it shall
be to work up tbe local option interests,
and to have power to appoint commits
tees for that purpose in every county in
the State, circulating petitions among
the people for the re-enactment of the
local option law during the present fis
sion ofthe U-gislature. The ministers
of the State are invited to co-operate in
this movement by preaching to their
people on the subject of temperance and
local option on tbe last Sabbath of Jau
uarv. IS?7.
The I-ouiaiana legislature has taken
the premium for electing the meet sour
vv of all politicians. Kellogg, to the I S.
senate. South Carolina is disgraced by
her John J. Patterson in the senate.
Alabama by her Spencer, but in Kellogg
not only Louisiana, but tbe senate and
the nation would be insulted and dis
graced. We' hardly tliink this scamp
will lie allowed to take his seat in that
bodv.
Grant means to be sham unto the end.
He has just appointed brother-in-law
Alexander Sharp as paymaster in the
artnv.
Senator Wallace delivered an able
speech in the senate, a few days ago,
upon the presidential muddle. A
synopsis will be found in this week t-
Reporter.
When lV>n Cameron was appointed
Sec'y of War, Mr. Blaine was asked
what he thought of it. His reply was
that, "It was the most rascally appoint
ment of this rascally administration."
Another crooked whisky man has
been pardoned out of the penitentiary
by president Grant. John Henderson
is the lucky man. Grant has proven to
the crooked whisky gang as a friend
who stieketh closer than a brother.
These fellows stole aland 100 million
dollars of the revenues in the south
west, and they are nearly all pardoned
now.

A Baltimore paper, in which city the
May family has many near relatives, in
discoursing of the Bennet-May scandal,
furnishes an item which brings in the
was-to-be Maniy-in lawof BenncL The
paper says it is learned from intimate
friends of the family that a quarrel be
tween Mrs. May and Mr. Bennett in re
gard to the bride's dress and some de
tails of the wedding was only the occa
sion and not the cause ofthe castigation
of the young millionaire. Mrs. May de
sired her daughter to be married in a
wedding dress, and Mr. Bennett insist
ed on a travelling costume. Mrs. May
said it was usual to leave such details to
the bride's mother, and Mr. Bennett in
his wrath declared that things should be
as he wanted them, and he was going to
be married privately and would not
have any of the May family present
anyhow, and more to that effect. .Some
insulting remarks followed. This hap
pened the day preceding the encounter
between Bennett and Fred. May. The
real cause of the many postponements
of the wedding, and the motive animus
iu the latest proceeding, is said to* be
something not yet disclosed and of a
delicate nature.
The latest political may be summed
up from the following items:
The senate Committee on counting
the electoral vote are said to ngree
unanimously, that the question shall not
be left to any outside tribunal and that
no State can be thrown out unless both
Houses concur. The important question
vet remains unsettled.
Mr. C'rapo a Republican Representa
tive one of the sub-Committee on Lotiis
iana affairs, says since his examination
of the intimidation business, that no
honest Returning Board could have se
cured a majority for Hayes.
Gov. Palmer was on 12 unanimously
nominated for the United States Senate
by the Democrats of the Illinois legis
lature. We arc not advised whether he
will be supported by the Independents,
who hold the balance of power.
According to the theory of the resolu
tions adopted by the Pennsylvania Sen
ate, Cronin's Oregon vote would couut
one for Tilden.
The Chronicle special from Washing
ton last evening, savs the Oregon busi
ness has become weary and unsatisfac
tory. It don't pan out well for Morton
&Co. The New York Herald special
has further information. It says:
The Senate Committee which is in
vestigating the Oregon case is coming lo
the melaucholly conclusion that there
has been no bribery, no corrupt use of
money, and that the hopes they at one
time entertained of fixing upon the Na
tional Democratic Committee, or upon
some of Mr. Tildcn's personal friends,
complicity in the misuse of money, aie
doomed to disappointment.
Tilden being fairly elected—of which
even Grant, Chandler and other conspi
rators are convinced—we have permit
ted our rooster to go back to his coop.
Ilayep is said to be so angry because we
kept our rooster out so long watching
his fellows who tried to steal electors.
Poor Hayes—he will not be ferried
over.
Vanderbilt is dead—and it is a fact
that he took none of his large fortun
with him, neither did he mention the
Reporter in his will.
Monster democratic meetings were
held in Indianapolis and Columbus on
Sth of Jan., anniversary ofthe battle of
New Orleans, to protest against the at
tempt to steal the presidency from Til
den, and put in Hayes with the bayo
net. The people of Ohio and Indian:
streamed out by thousands, and told the
conspirators that the fraud would not
** be tolerated.
The OtmtroM have cracked their
whip and frightened the republican sen
ate of this state into the passage of a set
of reliellions reaolutiona npon the presi
dential question, in which the returning
board fraud is endorsed, ami the declara
tion made that the electors stolen from
Tilden must be counted for llayes and
that there can l>e no going behind the
certificates by congress to ascertain
whether there w as an honest count
The resolutions were forced through
under the whip and spur and democrat
ic senators, like Hill, Pvalo, A crks and
others who desired to he heard and ob
jected to tiie haste in tire matter, were
not allowed to raise their voice in op
poeilion. Thus was free speech -titiled
that an iniquity might go through tin
whipped by ttie tiutb from democratic
lips.
These resolutions are intended to
frighten such conscientious republicwu
members of the U. S. Senate, ;u tink
ling, blame. Kdmonds, and otliers who
do not endorae the fraudulent counting
in of Have*, into the trace*, aud aid in
putting the rat net ion of t ongres* upon
the iniquity. Democrat* will await the
report of the southern investigating com
mittee*, and will insist upon having the
man inaugurated a* presiden', who, the
evidence ahowawa# honestly elected, no
matter how much the Oameron* and the
other revolutionist* rave and tnarl d
threat, and bluster in resolutions put
through a legislature which they mas
ter.
In Louisiana things have ag.in got s

would iuterfere with neither. Now all of
ssilddea he violates his prouioeand sends
the usurper Packard word that he will sus

ture was falling to pieces by desertions to
the democratic bouse. So Louisiana tray
again fall into a muddle, on account of
Grants double-dealing
A Washington special tothe Baltimore
Gazette, of yesterday morning says the
regular army cannot be depended upon
to carry out the designs of the Hayes
conspirators. It has long been known
that a large majority of the rank and tile
of the artny was in favor Governor lil
den's inauguration, but it has never yet
been suspected that any battalion, if or
dered to execute the commands of the
war office, would venture to disobey. On
ibis point the special to the Gazette
says: .... ~
The indignation of the military at this
proposed attempt to use them for politi
cal purposes is ready to break out into
uiuliny on the least provocation. The
soldiers uow stationed at the arsenal, in
number about eight liuudred, are large
ly Tildeu men, convinced of his houest
election, an unwilling to be used as
tools. Iu two batteries of artillery, ag
gregating over one hundred IUCU, there
ire only seven prepared to aa-i>t in
counting in Hayes, under the convieliou
that he has been the choice of the peo
ple. In conversation to-day with uu-u
at the arsenal it was believed that they
are seriously asking advice from the
best legal authorities as to how far they
are compelled to go in obeying the or
ders of their superiors when they know
nek orders to be purely political, and
having received satisfactory answers
they have determined to quietly take
the bull by the horns and throw down
their arms if ordered to use Ihcui in
the interest of the Hayes usurpa
tion.
HENRY WARDBKCCHU, says thuTimes,
has just received a very chilling cold
-boulder from his brethren of the Con
gregational cloth. The overt act is the
formation of a new association of Con
gregational churches, under the name of
Manhattan, aud the corner-stone of this
organization seems to lie none-fellow
ship with the Plvmouth pastor. The
cause assigned is the refusal of the old
association of New York and Brooklyn
to take action in re Tilden va. Beecher.
Among the prominent participants in
the new movement are such distinguish
ed clergymen as L>r. Taylor, of the
Broadway Tabernacle; Dr. Storra, of
Brooklvn; Dr. Hepworth, of the Church
of the Disciples, and Drs. Scudder, Bud
ington, Palmer, Oilman and Ward; in
deed the roll embraces nearlv all the
eminent men of their faith and order in
New York and vicinity, except Mr.
Beecher and his brother Edward and
Lyman Abbott. The constitution im
poses upon members thedutv of watch
ing over each other in the Lord, "that
the ministry be not blamed." The
Beecher cause has never received a se
verer blow than is thus inflicted. But
it is a peculiarity of the Plymouth pas
tor that he is never afraid to stand
alone.
Ex-Senator Trumbull remarked the
other day that if the truth about Louis
iana ever comes out he beiiev- ■ it will
be found that there were more murders,
more scourgings, more whippings and
more abuse of colored men by their own
race for voting the Democratic ticket
than of colored persons by whites for
voting the Republican ticket.

I.ike his brother Murad, he led a very
jovial life, during his father's career, but
his strong constitution enabled him to
withstand those excesses which prostra
ted his brother and caused his indisposi

ed a taste for French clothes and French
customs, many of which he has intro
duced to his own household. He has
one wife and two children of whom he
is very fond, and is generally found
poring over maps, military, geological,
and statistical. Though bitterly oppos
ed to the Young Turkey party, he is no
fanatic, and is said to tie well dis[>osed
toward the Giaours, always excepting
the Greeks, whom he cordially detests.
From April last he was kept as<arefully
under surveillance as his brother and
little has been known about him aave
that he refused to mount the throne un

which might bring about a disintegra

The Law Governing the fasting of
the Electoral Vole Clearly
Stater!
in the annate of the United States,
January ttth, Mr. Wallace, of IVntisvl
vania, submitted the following rt solu
tion
AVioliwt. That the special committee
on counting the electoral vote be in
structed to inquire and report to the
senate upon the following proposi
tions :
hirst. K.lcctors of President of tin
United States area part oftlie machine
rv of the federal government.
Second. The power to appoint them
is in the states, to be even Led under
the restrii lions and guaranties of the
fcdeial constitution.
Third. Th* power to UMIII.IIII WIN
has heen elected President and V let
President of the United States b> c.Hint
ing the electoral vote is a quasi judh lal
one, and carries with it the right to in
quire and decide what arc vote*.
Fourth. The power is in the tw.
houses, acting concurrently m> independ
ent Katies
Fifth. Kach house may examine both
facta and law, to enable It to determine
llieae question* Finn, are the returns
of the electoral colleges before them tin
trite return#? Second, were the votes
therein shown to be cast given by tboae
appointed by tke atate to the ollice ot
elector of President of tbe United States "
and third, firm* tbeappoiutmerit of elees
tore made, and were the votes east in
accordance with the provisions and
guarantee* of the federal constitu
tion?
Sixth. Tne certificate aud seal of the
executive authority of the -tale, made
uuderthe act of congress, is prima facie
proof of the appointment of an elector
by the state. This mode of proof may
tie overthrown by the decision of the
highest judicial tribunal of the proper
state, or of the United States. It may tie
contradicted hv evidence of a plain mis
take or paljiahle fraud
Seventh. When two return# come
from a state the two houses, acting con
currently, must determine which is the
true return.
Eighth. No electoral vote can be count
ed without the concurrence of both
houses.
Mr. Wallace saiJ: These propositions
eulKHly uiv view of the law. When we
settle what the law of this subject is, we
have a safe path out of our difficulties.
! We will bow to the law definitely ascer
tained. It is our duly to leant this, to
! recognize its power and obey it. The
first proposition is self-evident. It needs
no proof. The second will not bo dis
puted for all admit the federal constitu
tion to be the supreme law. The third
assert* that the power to couut the vote
, is not aiiuisterial, but is quaai-judical,
I and carries with it the right to inquire
! and decide what are votes. The tribu
' nal that counts the vote* must judge of
1 the infractions of the constitution. If it
i is objected in joint meeting that vote-,
were cast for an alien for I'resident, orj
for one under thirty-five years of age,
or one a non-resident for fourteen years,
is there no power to inquire and decide
the truth ? Must the votes be counted ?
How are the questions to be settled T By
debate or by judicial inquiry? Or sup
pose the vote cast by a senator or a fed
eral judge or unrelieved rebel, is then
no power to inquire as to the facts andj
to decide? Or if the vote was cast ouj
the wrong day or not by Imllot must We j
count the vote? Or if a state college
votes for citizens of its state, for both
offices, cau we not inquire? What is the
Oregon inquiry now going on? What
are all these inquiries hut the highest
exercise of judicial power, the applica
tion of constitutional law to a given state
of facts? Surely such a power is not
merely ministerial. If a state constitu
tes its election tribunal so a- to deny the
clearrights of citizens of the I'mted
States, t-au we not inquire and correct
the wrong? If once return be sent by a
state, and before it reaches the president
of the senate another is substituted, can
we not learn the truth and correct it '.'
Or if, between the voters and the presi
dent of the senate an irresponsible ami
unconstitutional tribunal is inter;>o*fd.
which denies the rights of citizens of
the United .States, or if plain mistake or
palpable fraud lie shown, can we not in
quire and judge and apply the remedy?
If this be so in counting the vote we do
not declare but we cancel and nullify it
The power to couut is giveu to some tri
bunal, and the means to reach that end
follow by necessary implication. He
argued that this power "is in the two
houses of congress aud in the president
of the senate. The two houses have
local knowledge which he lias not. All
the great powers of government are in
congress, whilst he has no vote in the
body over which he presides. This is a
great cower and would be lodged where
most likely to be exercised with judg
ment and under responsibility. The two
houses are equal. They fix the time of
choosing electors. Thev are present
when the vote is counted. The language
does not give the power to the president
of the senate. He is not the presiding
officer of the joint meeting. The senate
is there as a senate. The house is there
as a house, equal in dignity. If a presi-!
deu} pro teuqaire cau count the vote
whose power does lie exercise—his own
or that of the senate? If the former
then he is greater than his creator. The
senate can displace him if he refuses to
obey their will. If he Jexerciaes their
power then the senate is above its co
equal body, the house. Both are pres
ent. Both or neither count. Can it be
that the same clause which clothes the
vice president, an independent otficer,
with tiiis power, also clothes a depend
ent one therewith? The words "all"i
and "then" show that the certificates,
must all be opened before counting be
gins. Counting is adjudicating. The J
president of the senate is the avenue of,
communication. When his duty isdonc
the duty of the two houses begins. In
every instance the senate has originated
a resolution asking the house to agree
on a committee to count the vote. They
have so acted in every casebutone. The
seuator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) says
the actisnof the returning board is final
and binding. It is not so, for it does not
provide for a hearing or give a day in
court. It takes away judicial scrutiny,
and deprives men of their oilices with-
I out a hearing. It is anti-American,and
violates the federal constitution by de
nying a coutest, and refuses the due pro
cess of law. A statute is not due pro
cess of law. This statute is in direct
conflict with the 14th amendment, ami
we have the right to revise its adjudica
tions to inquire into tiiat fact. Return
ing boards are not courts. Their duties
are ministerial, or, if quasi-judicial, tlicy
must permit an appeal of review by
courts of law. There is no safety in our
system without this. The law creating
the Louisiana returning board violates
the provision that "no slate shall make
or enforce any law which shall abridge
the immunities and privileges of citizens
of the United Stales," and no state shall
deprive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process of law
Fraud and falsehood can )>e investigated
in every legal tribunal. That power ex
ists in ihe senate and it is our duty to
use it.
Mr.Sherman, of Ohio, said he had
been prepurcd, for some time, to dim-uss
this Louisiana case, and he could show,
by the clearest testimony of officers of
the army, of while men and hluck men,
thul the cases of intimidation in Itoaia
iana made it the imperative duty of the
returning board in tbat statu to reject
the votes of certain parishes, lie had
delayed in making his argument until
the committee of the senate sent to that
-tate should return. Tho senator from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Wallace) assumed as
a fact that the returning board was
guilty of n fraud. He (Mr. Sherman)
gave notice that to-morrow ho would
move to take up the case of Louisiana,
and show, by testimony, what the con
dition of affairs was in that stutc.
Mr. Wallace said he had not gone into
the oueetion of fact. He merely replied
to the argument of the senator from
Ohio (Mr. Sherman), delivered several
days ago.
Mr. Sherman said he had noticed in
the newspapers, especially in the Ne v
Y'ork papers, allegations as to affairs iu
Louisiana which were not so, and he
would show the extent ofthe wrong com
mitted there. But for the means which
Louisiana herself had provided for ex
purgating this wrong, the vote of the
state should not be counted on either
side.

favored with the i fully grand sight of an

mugmtlcient scenery as is probably lo he
found no other place in the world than in
the country of the Alps.
The speaker visited the town that gave
hirib to Wui. Toll, the champion ofhwtss
Liberty ; the place where he shot the ap

of the tyrant Gassier ; also Toll's chapel,
al tlie pol where Tell leaped from Gess

Are the most

■' covered. They
nO , are mild, but
.effectual In
r; -'their operw
tion, moving
tb bowels
i ,s surely and
M without paiu.
/Bx Although gen-
Ge iu the ir op
w V eration, they
are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed; cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill a day, they stimulate
tho digestive organs anil promote vig
orous health.
Aran's Pilin have been known fbr
more than a quarter of a century, ami
have obtained a workl-wide reputation
for their virtues. They correct din
cased action in the several assimila
tive organs of tho body, and are so
composed that obstructions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them. Not only do they core
the cvery-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
ous diseases that have baffled the beet
of humau skill. While they produce •
powerful effects, they are, at the samo
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they gripe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pal a when
the bowels are not Inflamed. They
reafch the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
It from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and ccmd'tlons
In all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills maybe taken with safety
by anybody. Their sngar-coutinp pre
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm con arise
from their use In any quantity.
