After all tho dumuablu frauds com
mitted by Eliza Piukston, Wells. Brad
ley & Co., auch as perjury, fraudulent
counts in election returns and the
counting of electors disfranchised by
the Constitution of the United Slutcs,
Iluves and Mm. Piukston, have only
ono hundred anil eighty-five electors
while Tilden linn one hundred and
eighty-four, and a popular majority of
over a quurtur of million of voters.
Florida and Louisiana entitled to
twelve electors both voted for Tilden ;
yot, Mrs. Pinkslon, Wells, llrudley &
Co., counted them for Uayes. If thin
eystem of fraud ia approved and de
fended by the IUdicul leaders, "thia
furco of a Government" may as well
be wound up. Another such a fraud
ulent count will result in a Revolution,
if not in anurchy of the bloodiest
kind and the Rudicul conspirators muy

counting, have gained their lust vie

"If I want to go to Washington, I

mil. We can explain that very readily :
The Commissioners of ourcoiinly com
ply with thu Act of Assembly, in such
cases made and provided. They pub
lish "a full anil accurate statement of
ull receipts and expenses," and the
"amount received by each Commis
sioner and their Clerk" as well as "ull
other items ua may bavo a tendency to
convey general information of tho
transactions of the preceding year, ami
tho amount puid by each borough and
township." Tho law upon this sub
ject ia Ignored in thrcc-fburlhs of the
counties ol this Commonwealth. Here
is a sample wo find in an exchange:
"Am'tp'l. tiprtaveajonlt. rand erlor... (Mils 0"

Our Auditors put it in this wny:

The county indicated holds no more
courts than we do, yet tho charge for
llio same officers ia eighty per cent,
more. Whelhor tho Tiirslaves tho
Crioi or tho Janitor has murlo "a grub,"
no one can tell. Again: Our state

ing four items, while tho one before us
lias it this way :

Stranoe Work. Section 2 nf Arti

States, says :
"N' Senator or Raproarnrarlvo, nrpstaoa hold

Stalre, b.ll be appointed no E el.."
Judges Ilradley and Strong, as well
as ibe oilier members of the lute count
ing Commission, took an (rath to sup
iort the Constitution, and in die faeu
Jrfth!pf!h!!7 dat-s in that in
strument, they nevertheless counted
seven Electors for Ilttyes, who held
such offices when elected. Three ol
them were Postmasters-in Oregon,
Vermont and Wisconsin and two ol
the Ilayos Electors in Louisiana held
the office of United Slates Commis
sioner, while Mr. Morrill, in our own
Stale, ami tho great Centennial engine
man, Corliss, of Rhndo Island, were
both Centenuiul Commissioners; vol,
all were counted for Hayes as though
this clause bad been torn out of ibo
Constitution. Tbo clause in the Dec
alogue "Thou shall not kill," is n
plainer nor more prohibitory than the
other. How wicked and ignorant must
a human being be who dare say that
il means nothing? And yet, it is just
aa easily set aside as the Constitutional
clause.
Dead. The 44th Congress closed at
12 o'clock, noon, on Saturday last. All'
appropriation billa were passed except
the Army bill, which may compel Uis

but the county ahull have the power

The Judgment Kill. It appears
tbut many of the Justices in this Stale
have adopted tho plan of hearing law
suits, and adjourn tho cases, but never
enter judgment. To cure this legal
dodge the following bill bas been in
troduced into our Legislature known
as House bill No. 33:
An Act requiring justices of tho peace
unrl aldermen ol this Commonwealth
to render judgments within ten days
after ull the evidence in a case ahull
huve been heard.
Section 1. He it enacted bv tho Sun-
ale ami House of Representative ol

lites of the peace and aldermen of this
Commonwealth to render judgment in
any causes pending before them within
a period ol ten days after all theovi
deuce in said causes shall have been

Sec. 2. That any justice ofthe peace
or uiiiurman ol tins Commonwealth
who shall fail to comply with the pro

six months, or both or either, in the
discretion of the court.
Sec. 3. That ull acta or parts of acts

The Result. Samuel J. Tilden was
elected President of tho United Stales
by a majority of over a quarter of a
million, as well as receiving a hand
some mojority of tho Klectors; but

uraui released ull tlio Isarubhuses
that were in prison, hut he refused to
order his confederates lo make a fiiir
count of tho vote for President. Hence
the spectacle of a man occupying the
i rusnieniiui i,uair who waa never
elected. However, Grant did say thut
"So man twrMy t.f thr nfficf nf Prnhlent

or plmrd there by fraud." We presume
this "government" saying was never
brought to Hayes' notice
Rather Astonished The Pitts
burg Lhmmercial Uasrtte, the Radical
organ of Allegheny county, in alluding
to tbo result ol the recent election in

Yes, and you will hear much more
of lhal kind of thunder betoro another
year rolls around. The people haro
determined to do away with Return
ing Hoards and Commissions, and do
their own counting in such an emphatic
manner that there can he no doubt as
to who is elected hereafter. Perjury,
fraud and constitutional violations are
ut an end.
Government Advice. Just after
the election in November, when the
result was still in doubt, Grunt tele
graphed to Sherman, then at Now Or
