~The republics n oi our state legisla
ture passed a resolution shedding crock -
o.lde tears over Wells, the rascally re
turning boarder, because he is in. arcer
nto.l by tho House fbrconteir.pt. M ells
is kept in one of the committee rooms,
with plenty of light, arm chairs, and
good things to eat. and if justice were
done him, he would be : n a prson < <
he has killed three men in hi* time, ana
bv fraud, ptrjury, bribery attempted to
defeat the will of tho American people
by stealing Louisiana for Hayes. Many
a better man than Wells has been
hung.
,1 Uilge Bradley, the odd man" on the
Electoral Commission, in the Honda
case voted to admit evidence on the eli
gibility of the elector, in the Louisiana
case he wheeled around a--*- vo.**
opposite. And thus lieVheeled about,
and turned about, and jumped Jim
Cro .v.
The Republican majority on the 1 lee
torai Commission have decided t! at
Louisiana, like Florida, should bo count
ed for Haves. This they did after first
deciding, like in the Florida ease, that
they would hear no evidence of fraud
That's what they were afraid of. the
evidence, which so clearly shows thai
both Florida and Louisiana were falsely
returned for Hayes. To have heard evi
dence in these cases would have been to
decide these states belong to Tiiden,
Louisiana by 'JOOO majority and Florida
by at Ici-st 100 majority, according to
committeeman Barlow, a staunch Hayes
man, and according to congressman Hu
man, of Florida another sU unch sut>j>ors
ter of Hayes, and according to the fa.*- of
the returns sent in by the republican
election boards themselves from the
election sciucts throughout the
state.
No Mr Edmunds, aaya 'hat
he held the same views when he drew
the electoral bill that he does now in re
gard to going behind the returns. The
Democrats charge that both he ar.d Hoar
created a different impression in com
mittee and on the door, and that not a
Democrat in either house would have
voter! for the bill if that impression had
not been received. Bradley is almost
prostrated by nervousness and could
hardly read his written opinion iasecret
session on lib Abbott and the Dctno*
crats generally have no hope of Oregon.
THE MOSTISFAMOL'S 0 FTP AGI
Samuel J. Tilden has an undisputed
majority on the popular v v.e of 25.tXt'
—a quarter of a million—for President,
and an honest majority of the electoral
vote, yet R. B. Hayes is to be counted in
and tii® presidency stolen from the man
to whom it rightfully belongs and who
was honestly and fairly elected V* bat
republican claiming to he honest and
fair, can say he sanctions such an out
rage, the greatest wrong perpetrated
against the American people since King
George was resisted by the revolutionary
fathers? And are democrats, the ma
jority of the American people, to quie'ly
submit to the wrong ?
We never wrote a line for the Repor
ter endorsing the Electoral Commission
scheme while it was before congress —we
were in doubt as to its workings in favor
of justice and right. Our fears were
well-founded, as the result now proves.
Fraud has been upheld by the commis
sion, and the greatest wrong and injus
tice lias been committed by it upon the
American people. Those democrats in
congress who supported it, we know
did so in faith that a just solution of the
presidential difficulty would be reached
thereby. They now find themselves
deceived—republicans who spoke hon
ied words and promised a fair investiga
tion have paid their promises with
treachery, and the democratic leaders at
Washington find themselves cheated
and deceive 1 in order that Fraudulent
Hayes may usurp the presidential chair.
AI id ttntunda ria (M.
Let Hayes go down to posterity and
history as Fraudulent Hayes. No Presi
dent heretofore down toGrantever held
the office without a clear title to it, but
now we are to have Fraudulent Hayes.
Let no honest lip ever mention him
other than Fraudulent Hayes. We had
ArnolJ the Traitor, Burr the Conspira
tor, and Hayes the Fraudulent fills the
trio.

THE ELECTORAL COUNT.
Washington, February 18.— Democrat

factious opposition will bo made to the
counting of the electoral vote to uiorrow,
although some of their number are strong
ly inclined in that direction.
BOTH HOUSES WILL ACCEPT THE
WORK OF THE COMMISSION.
"Washington, Feb. 17. —At a full caucus
of democratic senators and representatives
held this evening it was agreed that the
electoral count proceed on Monday in i c
cordance with law, and without being de
lved by dilatory motions. But the reso
lution is accompanied with the solemn and
earnest protest of the democratic party
against the gross and shameless violations
of lav.', justice and truth contained in the
decisions of the majority who signed ihe
same in the cases of Florida and Louisia

PVRVAX OX THE FLORIDA
FRAVD.
Congreeemnn Pnrman, of Florida ..
native of Ponnavalley, known to many
of the readers of the Reporter, and a.
I rank Mayes republican ■ made a apooeb ;
in tho lloose tho other day. iltcUrivit!
that IV.don was fairly elected, to tho
great dismay of his party friends who
listened to his speech. Maj. I'urtnau be
gan by a glorification of the Konublioan
party ,to whore prim iplea ho was deep
ly attached and for devotion to whi.'b
l.c claimed to haveheen singed in the
tires of martyrdom. Bui he owed a
higher duty to the cause .<f honesty and
justice, and as the representative .f his

willing to go home without pla> mg on

it affected the contest for the Prrstdcu-

of his own party to convey a different
impression: much more was he disap
pointed that the grand Commission Lad

sanction to a perverted ami fraudulent
declaration of the result. The election

ges had Ik'vii en the side of the lie pub
licans. hut they hail been beaten, and l.e
for one, would acknowledge it,as would
every other honest Republican in Flori

Hayes electors was a wilful falsification
of the result by a l>old, dishonest and
unscrupulous returning board. By w ays
i that were dark and tricks that w ere not
vaiu the l>euio*rals had been defrauded
of a lawful won victory, lu regard to
the Republican frauds in Alachua he
said they wrere notorious, ind he knew
them to be wilful. Moreover, he made
the specific and startling statement that
Cowgill, one of the members of the
board, being informed of the frauds by
the perpetrators gave his assurance that
if they were plausibly covered up he
would see that they w ere safe from the
-eruttny of the board A fair can vase,
excluding votes vitiated by Republican
I is well as by lieuiocralic trauds, would
have given the State to Tiiden by a ma
jority of 709.
While Mr. l'urmau was sjwakiug he

{and the ais'es in the vicinity wcr* i
crowded ai'h Democrats,who -eit thetr
seals in order to catch every word he
might say. Several times there were
outbursts of applause, which the Speaker
repressed. W hen he sat down many
members, led iv t'ox and Hewitt, warm
ly congratulated Purman upon lus indO'
peudencc, but there were no Republi
cans among them, and Conger satirically
moved that the House take a recess for
five minutes in order that the member
tVvui Florida might receive the felicita
tions of his Democratic friends.
A TESTIMONIAL FOB MR. HAYS
The House of Representatives
adopted the resolution reported by
the Special Committee sent to Florida to
,'iv -jtigate the ehvtn n. declaring that
:!ie lilden electors had an honest und
legal majority of the votes polled, and
that Tilden and Hendricks were justly
entitled to the vote of the State. The
resolution passed the House by a vote
of 142 ayes to 82 nays. This is another
little testimonial for Fraudulent Haves
shonid he be counted in. David Dudley
Field, in closing his speech on Monday,
opposing the decision of the Electoral
Commission, gave still another which is
worth repeating, as it appears in the Re
cord. He said:
We offered to prove fraud; wo were
denied the right to do so. We off red to
show that the pretended appointment ot
the Hayes electors was corruptly made.
This was refused. But the truth cannot
ell be concealed. Cue of the persons
certified hv the Commission to be a law
ful elector of the State of Florida is
Charles H. Pearce. There is a record of
him from the reports of the Supreme
Court of the State which shows lnui to
be a convicted feion. In the fourteenth
volume of these reports I find the case of
The State ot Florida against Pearce. The
indictment -et forth "that Charles 11.
Pearce, colored, a ministerof the Gospel
and a Senator representing the eighth
district in the Senate of the State of
Florida," on the 4th of February, 870,
during the pendency before the House
of Assembly of a resolution to impeach
the Governor of high crimes and mis
demeanors with the intent of felonious
ly influencing the vote of a member, of
fered and promised hitn f"'00. He was
convicted by a jury, and upon his ap
peal to the Supreme Court of the State
the judgment and sentence w ere affirm
ed. That man, a pardoned convict gave
the one vote which will elect Mr. Hayes
if elected at all, to the Presidential of
fice.
FROM THE LOU BY TO THE AT
PREME COLRT.
HOW JIDGE BRADLEY AND JfDGE STRONG
CAME I POS THE SCENE.
t j From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
'. Washington. Feb. 12.—Who is Justice
n Bradley? Well, he was an ornament of
j the lobby. You have probably heard of
the lobby? No' Is it possible? I thought
every one had heard of this third estate
e of the Government, that owing to the
dirt accumulated about it. might well be
called real estate. It is the agency es
tablished by Congress to facilitate busi
ness between it and people appearing
t before it possessed of claims of all sorts
As the representative represents, and
the agent reflects the toneyid character
' of his employer, the lobby is quite as
r bad as Congress, and is generally com
posed of mean men and lewd women.
Attorney Bradley was in this lobby
working for the New Jersey railroad
companies. Attorney (strong was like
-5 wise in the lobby laboring for the
. Pennsylvania railroad companies. These
two gentlemen had other clients, and
1 were mixed in other schemes, but these
were their principal employments and
. interests.
I While these two workers were hang
ing about the passages and committee
rooms of Congress the Supreme Court,
under Chase, Chief-Justice, promulgated
, its celebrated decision in the legal-tender
case. This gravely affected the railroad
interests so largely represented by-
Messrs. Bradley and Strong. The com
panies hurried to Washington in a high
state of alarm. In a few days the Ar
lington, Willard's, and Ebbitt were
thronged with bald-headed, muml-bcl
lied parties of the highest respectability
in appearance—all were rogues disguis
ed under stocks and clean shirts. Their
first move was a law of Congress increas
ing the Supreme Bench two members.
They found on couut that with stn h ad
dition they could vote down Chief-Jus- ,
tire Chase and hisgold-tenderassociates.
Poor Chase, he saw what wr.s coming
and fought hard against the packing, but
fought in rain! The iniquity was con
summated. (
It was not consummated until Grant
sent into the Senate two names to fill
the places. Of course, places Oil the Hu
preme bench arc not to be had every
day, and the most eminent men in the J
legal profession in the country were
spoken of. Evarts, Curtis, Black, and
others were canvassed, but Grant said
openly, and, among others, to my friend
Mr. John A. C. Gray of New York, that
he would nominate no man to either
place who was not pledged to a reversal t
of the legal-tender decision. He was as ~
good as his word, and to the amazement •>
of the world at large, and to the delight
of all the heavy corporations, he nomi- u
nated Messrs. Strong and Bradley. The <1
lobby got drunk on champagne with de- S
light, and in due course of indecent haste |
tlio legal-tender decision was revers- ,
ed.
A petition will be presented to the
Pennsylvania Legislature to abolish the
charter of the Bald Lag I a ami Spring
Creek Navigation Co., and abandon lb©
canal from Beech Creek to the point
where it intersects the Pennsylvania
canal, a distance of about five miles
above Lock Haven.
The citizens of Lock Haven offer a
cash bonuSvf twenty thousand dollars to
any party who will erect iron or steel
works in that city to cost not less than
sixty thousand dollars.

After tho Presiding Justice took the
chair ami 'hodiM'ia w* ie sc. imdj fasten
oil llirit was silolice nt a few minu
tes.
Morton was il.e firs! to speak, lie had
little to offer in the way of urgutm ut
but the a o vv. s a v* . plain one to his
mind Hayes had curried the State ac
cording to the only I g.d return* be for*
Congress, and its v.tes should be so
counted. The matter ought t>> be nettled
at i intt bv the pas-age of •* resolution t.
that effect. With all the charges of
fraud and conspiracy the .ommission
l.ad no concern. Senator Thuriuan fob
lonted 111 a speech which both s disagree
was masterly, and which the Pcinociat*
re.\ Was the great effort of hi- life 11.
spoke fcr an hour, fully sustaining the
chief points made by Til Jen's counsel, J
hut dwelling mainly ui'O, the i it n
that lbelection law eilfTS r the lie
turning Board law as it is vommouly
.ailed, repealed all other election laws
of Louisiana, and thai there was Hi 1
provision whatever, therefore, for tilling
vacancies in the Electoral College; but
admitting that the law of l>'i> had not
been repealed, he urged that it looked
to the tilling of vacancies caused by the
resignation or death of electors legally
ek-on. Levis*.' and Brewster being
ineligible, by reason f holding Federal
offices, w ere neverjh'gally eh'sen. Two
electorships w ere therefore vacant, ami
there was no propositi n, even under
the law of IS1S, for tilling vacancies
. atised bv failure to elect.
Senator Tliurman was heard with at*
teution, and it was thougfn at the time
ins.lo some impression upon tho fifth
Judge. The next speech was by Mr
Garfield. It jraa such a one as Garfield
might be exptC.cd to make, lie quoted
a single United St.tes Supreme Court
decision to prove that the Returning
Board was constitutionally created, and
that itsnetion was final and must be ac
cepted. JJoar followed in the same
strain, making no tjfw points, and ap
parently intending merely to
his deteimination to stand with his
associates of the sauie political par-
ty.
Senator Bayard then took the floor
and spoke in a characteristic vein, as
suming that the legal point involved bad
been cleared to the satisfaction of all by
Senator Thurman. He appealed in elo
quent words to the honorand patriotism
of every member of the commission. It
was a question that seemed to him to
have but one side, and that w as the side
of honesty. The Mate had been fairly
carried for Tilden. No tnan could afford
to accept the Presidency on a title rest
ins upon frauds such as had been com
mitted in pursuance of the Returning
Board cmnspiracv, and ot which pro f
had been offered. He favored opening
the gates of inquiry. Only a righteous
judgment, founded upon full an impar
tial investigation, would satisfy the peo
ple. Senator Edmunds then addre---J
the commission very briefly in the line
of argument pursued by Mr hv.irts.
Then rose Bradley,a written opinion
in hand, and read slowly and with acne
manifestations of nervousness, while
every other m-m on the commission
eagerly and carefully weighed his words.
He said lie wj.s aim -t persuaded by|the
arguments in favor of the lihlen case,
but ended by declaring against it. the
points of his opinion are d -c. bed by
the least unbiased and unt lawyer like
mind on the Democratic side of the tri
hunal as "point* that were nor.p " His
premises." said this member, "did not
fetch him up to his conclusions at all. !f
he ever publishes his opinion it will be
seen t* Lo the most ltogical o tnposition
that was ever uttered from a be tub of
law. The parti-s i Republicans who
listened trembled with anxiety through
out the whole first and middle jart of it,
aud the Democrats were corresponding
ly pleased, but the conclusions derived
from the premises filled no better than
new wine in old bottles, and were tin-
expected to every listener. I thought."
continued this Democratic member of
the commission, "that he was going in
our favor, and when he wound up against
us I noticed the astonishment it even
Republican faces. The fact is Bradley
made his opinion for the case in opposi
tion to every decided case and the opin
ions of everv text writer. He held that
j the college of electors in every State may
l>e persons ineligible under tbe Consti
tution, providing they resign their office
before the day fixed for casting the elec
toral vote."

('utxr Ji'srn t Ai.x:w has this week]
delivered an interesting opinion at the
sitting of the aunreinc court in Philadel
phia, as to the duties and responsibili
ties of properly owners, in tin case <tf
the Philadelphia Hydraulic Works v-
Orr ami wife, on un appeal from the de
cision of the common pleas. Orr and
wife had I* ovcieil $!,!..* damage- from
the Hytlraulie Works for the killii-.g of
their six vt-irold boy by the tlroppiug
of a ntovaVle iron plitforin standi-g in
an alleyway on the private property o*
the company, and leading into l'velina
atreet. Die defense was that the child
was a trespasser, uud that he not laeing
expected to come upon the private prop
erty of the defendants, the-w latter ow
ed to him no duly, the neglect of which
would make them liable to him in dam
age* for injuries sustained on theirprop
erty. The question of duty the lower
court left to the jury, and this action was
asMgned aa erroneous. The supreme
court affirms the judgment l-olow. The
opinion My* When no duty is owed,
no liability arises. A man way leave

tibtaint'tg acce-a lo it. lu this alley they

the great diversion of the asm?tub ly.
Col. Pickett, who wanted to take n
bribe only that he might be charitable
to the "widows and orphans of the
! South," dots not receive '.lie encourage
ment from that section he had a right t.
expect. His sense of "high moral duty'
an<l his willingness to "live in sackcloth
and ashes" aie not appreciated. The At
lanta Constitution says: "Pickett evi
dently has a thorough appreciation ol
the old proverb to the effect that charity
begins at home. On the whole, Picket:
seems to be somewhat unsuccessful as a
success."
In a letter lo bis friends at home, an
intelligent foreigner states that "when a
great man dies in the United .States, the
tint thing done is to propose a fin? stab
uc in hia honor ; next, to forget to order
any statue in his honor ; next, to raise
part of the necessary money ; and, last to

Ayer's Cathartic Pills,
Per aU the purposes of a Family Ptayaic •
and h)r curing Coshveness. Jaundice,
Indigestion, Foul Stomach, Breath
Headache, Erysipelas, hheums
tiatu. Eruptions and Skin Diseases.
Biliousness, Dropsy, Turners
Worms, Neuralgia; as a Din
ner Pill, for Blood,
ore still the most thorough ami search
ing cathartic medicine that cau bo
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, autl even the blood. In small
doses of t fiic pill a dty, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote vig
orous health.
AYER'S PILLS have been known for
more than a quart or of a century, and
have obtained a world-wide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that obstructions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them, Not only do they ouro
the every day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
ous diseases that have bottled the byst
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they arc, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they gripe mnch less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inflamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
It from the elements of weakness. .
Adapted to all ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre
serves them ever fresh and makes
thorn pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm cau arise
from their use In any quantity.
