DULY ELECTED TO CONGRESS.
HELTZHOOVER'S SI'EEI II IN BEHALF OF THE
EX-GOVERNOR —ILLEGAL VOTES.
Special to tlir PbilafWpbWTlmM.
WASHINGTON, May 8.
Mr. .Springer succeeded in bringing
the Curtin-Yocum election case before
the House to-day, and Mr. Beltzhoover,
of Pennsylvania, representing the ma
jority of the committee, made a speech
two hours and a half long, in which be
reviewed the legal aspects of the case in
a manner so exhaustive that Mr. Spring
er, in speaking of it afterwards, said he
would be willing to rest the case there
without further argument. Mr. Beltz
hoover spoke with great earnestness, and
he materially strengthened his position
as one of the best lawyers in the House.
He was listened to with msrketl atten
tion, and although his speech was a
cold, legal argument, confined to the
facts of the case, his address was more
than usually entertaining. When he
had finished he was congratulated very
warmly.
CPRTIN'S CASE.
The testimony in this case covers
forty-two hundred printed pages, Xlr.
Beltzhoover said, and invokes questions
of law, the consideration of the new
Constitution of Pennsylvania and its ap
plication to elections. These legal ques
tions have never received the decision
of the Supreme Court of the State and
therefore must be Argued a* original.
At the general election in 1878 there
were two candidates for Congress in the
Twentieth district. Curtin was the
nominee of the Democrat.* and Yocum
of the Greenback party. The Republi
cans mAie no nominations. In the
years 1874 and 1876 this district went
Democratic by upwards of five thousand
majority. In the election for Governor
in 1878 the Democratic candidate had a
majority over the combined Republican
and Greenback vote. In the last elec
tion the result showed an apparent ma
jority of seventy-three for Yocum out of
a vote of thirty thousand. Curtin con
tested the seat on the ground that
Yocum'* friends had ignored the regis
try law. This law requires all voters to
be registered sixty days before election,
anil any person neglecting this duty
must file his affidavit and that of anoth
er citizen of the precinct attesting his
qualifications to vote. These affidavits
must by the election board
and returned with the other election
pa[iers and tiled in the office of the
Prothonotary for examination. All vot
ers whose names are not on the registry
list whose affidavits are not found in
the Prothonotary's office are held to be
prima facie illegal votes. A large pro
portion of the testimony taken in the
case related to this subject of non reg
istry voters.
ILLEGAL VOTERS.
First, there were between one and
two thousand persons voting at this
election whose names were not found
in the Prothonotary's office and who
were therefore prima facie illegal voters.
Second, there were three hundred and
eighty-two persons who voted at the
election who were not registered, but
who are shown not to have made the
affidavits required by law. Third, there
were ninety persons who voted at said
election for Yocum who were not regis,
istered and who are shown not to have
made affidavit*. These ninety votes
being in excess of Yocum's majority and
clearly illegal destroy bis prima facie
right to the seat. Xlr. Beltzhoover next
cited the iswa of Pennsylvania relating
to thia subject. Tbey are embraced in
the Constitution of 1873 and the statute
of 1874. The State has had four Con
stitutions—those of 1776, 178'J, 1838 and
1873. The provisions of these earlier
Constitutions were found to be utterly
inadequate to secure fair elections and
the demand* arose for a new Constitu
tion. In the Constitutional Convention
of 1873 this subject was fully considered.
The new constitution added numerous
qualifications to the right to vote and 1
provided rigid restrictions against fraud
and illegal voting. There is no device
or precaution against fraud in elections
which ordinary ingenuity can suggest
which the framera of the Cootatttulion
have not fixed therein. The Legislature
of '74 passed the present law. This law
is baaed upon previous acta and is, in
fact, supplement*! to them. Thia case
turns upon the fourth section of the
act of 1874. Mention three piovidee
that no person shall be permitted to
vote whoao name is not on the list, un-
low he makes the proof reouired in the
fourth section, which is that a person
who is not registered must in order to
be entitled to vote furnish his own
written affidavit and the affidavit of
another citizen of the precinct contain
ing proofs of his qualifications to vote.
The provisions of this act are so clear
that there seems to be no room for any
misconstruction under it. A plain con
struction of the act permits any citizen
to determine, by an examination of the
records at any election, who are illegal
voters.
DECISIONS BEARING ON lIIE CASK.
Mr. Beltzhoover cited a number of
decisions in the courts bearing on this
portion of the law und the constructions
which have been made of it. Judge
Harding has held that it is the right of
any citizen to examine the records in
the office of the Commissioner or Pro
thonotary. This view of the law is sus
tained in a large number of cases, par
ticular reference being had to the deci
sion of Judge Wetmore, who holds
clearly the same doctrine that unregis
tered voters who do not make affidavits
are illegal. This is particularly to be
observed for the reason that it is decid
ed by the same Judge who delivered
the opinion in the court below in
NVheelock's case, which is cited on the
other side and held by the minority to
rule the case otherwise. Mr. Beltz
hoover thinks the position of the ma
jority—namely, that the election should
be referred back to the people—is a
sound one. McG'rary gives this as a
rule to be followed in all cases where
such a new election would not be
entirely inconvenient. At the time the
report was made, in February last, there
was an election approaching in the
State, but now the time has long since
passed and a separate election lor this
purpose would be decidedly inconven
ient.
CCRTIN Dt'l.V ELECTED.
The new election being out of the
auestion, McCrary's other rule, that of
ividing the illegal votes by some
arbitrary rule, is cited. Mr. Beltzhoov
er presents four statements, based on
the testimony to show that Curt in was
duly elected. By the first he has a
majority of 184, by the second of 130,
by the third of .V>, by the fourth, de
ducting all close questions of fact, he is
elected by a majority of 12. These
statements are based, he says, upon
common sense rules of testimony and
arc more consistent with justice and
fairness than any division of the votes
by an arbitrary rule. Yocura has lived
in the district but a short time, has
tieen a Republican and could not,
therefore, expect any Democratic votes,
and could not expect Republican votes,
because he stood u|>on a platform
directly antagonistic to the principles
of that party. Curtin was the regular
Democratic nominee in a strongly l)em
ocratic district and had been for some
years in harmony with the Democratic
party. Mr. Beltzhoover concludes that
Curtin must have received a fair major
ity of all the votes cast. He says:
If, therefore, the House shall concur in
the report of the majority of the commit
toe, to refer the case back to the people, it
will decide tightfully. If, on the other
hand, the great public inconvenience and
ex|>en*e of a new election induces the
House to decide that the contest should
be ended here and now, let it decide to
seat the contestant. This last conclusion
is supports-d by the law and by the facts
and by the clearly preponderating pre
sumptions and circumstances and sur
roundings of the case.
LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
From oar iftilu CorTMpoodent.
WASHINGTON, I>. C., May 10,1880.
As ih© time approaches for the meet
ings of '.be National conventions the
political cauldron at Washington begins
to boil Rt a rapid rate. The Republi
cans especially show much concern.
The 2d of June is not far off nod the
friends of the various candidates who
will be presented to the convention at
Chicago, are making good use of the
intervening time. Blaine is giving the
third termers much more trouble than
tliey anticipated, and should his suc
cesses continue in the States in which
delegates are yet to be chosen, will be
stronger than Urant when the conven
tion meets. Conkling, Carpenter and
Cameron, the Urant syndicate, as they
are now called, profess to have no
fears of the result, but with the defec
tions from their ranks announced in
New York and Pennsylvania, it looks
as though their hopes might end in
discomfiture and disaster. It is said,
however, that Cameron laughs at the
idea of the Pennsylvania delegation to
Chicago not casting a solid vote for
Urant, and says that as sure as hia hair
is red Urant will be nominated oo the
first ballot. Wayne MacVeagh, Don
Cameron's brother-in law, who is now
here, does not agree with the young
Senator. He says there is no doubt
that a very respectable minority of the
Pennsylvania delegation will refuae to
vole for Urant on the first or any other
ballot.
A gentleman from the South, who
*aw much of Gen. Grant and hia party
on the recent tour through that section,
ays (Jen. Grant himself created a very
favorable impression, but that Mr. Fred.
Grant had a very bad case of the "big
head, and did not commend himself
to the affections or the good will of any
of those with whom he name in contact.
As for Lieut. Oen. Sheridan, he says he
seemed to think that as long as General
Grant was eschewing liquid refresh
menu he must Uke the contract to do
the drinking of the whole party. The
gentleman, who is a very sagacious ob
server, and of long and varied political
experience, says that while be does not
think the Southern States would con
tribute at all to the election of General
Grant, he is quite satisfied that the
most influential and respecuble ele
ment throughout that entire section
would infinitely prefer to see Grant
onoe more in the White House than
any other Republican. To-day, on the
floor of the -Senate, an enthusiastic
Blaine man said, in conversation with §
leading Southern Senator, that Blaine
was sweeping everything before him,
and would ceKainly be nominated at
Chicago. The Senator said: "You peo
pie had better not fool with Grant; no
one has ever bucked against him who
was not whipped." •
Senator Dawes has received a letter
from Prof, fteelye, a delegate at large
from Massachusetts to Chicago, guying
that he cannot attend the convention,
and that bin alternate will go in hin
place. Prof. Heelye is those who
believe in the aacred right of bolting if
hin favorite ia not nominated, and would
not agree to support the candidate of
the convention unless ho suited his
tastes. His alternate ia an Kdmund*
man, with (Sraut as his second choice.
The evident determination of both
political parties to have Congress ad
journ at the close of this month seems
to grow in fnvor, and there is a possibil
ity of a final adjournment at the time
indicated. Of course, if this programme
is carried out, all business except the
appropriation bills will "go by the
board." There is now hardly any prob
ability that the Funding bill can be
passed. It may be that the House will
get a little tariff* bill through, but there
is no chuncethat it will pass the Senate.
There remain yet to be disposed of by
the House three approp iution bills.
These ure the Legislative, Executive and
Judiciary, the Sundry Civil, and Gener
al Deficiency bill. The |>oatal bill pass
ed the House on Friday. The Legisla
tive bill will bo reported on Monday.
The Hiver and Harbor bill has already
been reported, and the effort is to be
made on some Monday to pass it under
a suspension of the rules. Speaker
Itandall still holds to the opinion that
Congress can adjourn by the Ist of June,
and the temper of the members now is
to do it if it can be done. Senator
Davis, of West Virginia, Chairman of
the Senate Committee on Appropria
tions, does not believe that an adjourn
ment can be effected before the l. r >th of
June. He thinks it will be impossible
for Congress to get through the neces
sary business before that lime. Should
the adjournment not be effected before
the ltepublican Convention, June 2, it
is not believed that the Republicans
will allow an adjournment before the
holding of the Democratic Convention
on the 22d. The general feeling is that,
should Senator lDyard's bill regulating
the appointment and pay of Special Dep
uty United States Marshals be promptly
passed and be signed by the President,
Congress can, by energetic work, get
through and go home by the Ist of
June.
The Democrat* of the special commit
tee on the electoral vote have agreed
upon a plan for a new rule. Thi* plan ha*
been fully determined upon without any
consultation with the Republicans, and
the latter are quite irritated at it. The
Republican* of course, will maintain the
old ground that the President of the
Senate ha* the right to count the votes,
while the proposed new rule deprives
that official of this power altogether and
makes the joint action of the two houses
of Congress necessary either to count
or to reject the electoral vote of a State.
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, has
introduced a bill into the Senate, which
may be of great importance to the bus
iness interests of the country should it
become a law. The bill prescribes as a
part of the future duties of United States
ministers, consuls and commercial
agents abroad that they shall use dili
gent efforts to ascertain the character
and probable quantity of American pro
duct* used or likely to be used annually
in foreign countries, and to report
monthly to the Department of Agricul
ture the result of their inquiries. One
copy of these reports is to be sent to
each postmaster in the United State*
every month to be posted in some con
spicuous place. Postmasters, collector*
and other employes of the United States
in large towns are also to furnish to the
Bureau of Agriculture once a week the
prices current of leading article* of
trade at their respective markets.
Theee are also to be summarised and
sent to postmasters once a month.
The people of Plymouth, Mass., have
sent a committee here to got a congress
ional appropriation for a statue to be
f laced n|on Plymouth Rock. Senator
'awes proposes Senator Kdmund*' stat
ue as the proper one.
Mr. Wheeler has gone home for his
annual fishing excursion and will prob
ably not return this session. He is con
fident that Grant will be nominated at
Chicago, and thinks that all the opposi
tion to him will fall readily into bis
support. Mr. Wheeler thinks Grant
would poll more votes than any candi
date mentioned.
In the absence of Mr. Wheeler, Sena
tor Thurman was elected President pro
tern of the Senate, a position he always
fills with becoming dignity. Faux.
Hunting Ground For Sale.
MOOMNO uaovi PARE, in naa COUNTY, IS
TIIS siitairr's HANDS —its KXTKKT AND
COST, AND WHY IT is TO BE SOI.D.
Blooming Grove park, the well known
hunting ground in Blooming Grove
township, Pike county, Pennsylvania,
is advertised to be sold at sherifTs sale
on May 17, to satisfy a debt of $71,600.
This park was established in 1870 by
Charles Hallock. of the Forest and Stream;
Bruck, of the Turf, Fir Id and Farm , and
several other well known sporting men
of New York city. Twelve thousand
acres of land in Blooming Grove town
ship was purchased which was inclosed
with a wire fence. To make the bunt
ing ground larger, an additional 15,-
000 acres of woodland was rented.
Within the enclosure, and facing
Blooming Grove pond, a beautiful sheet
of water one mile in length by half a
mile in width, was erected a large and
elegant club house, with all the mod
ern improvements, at a great expense.
The game to be found upon these lands
consists of black bear, deer, otter, fox
and several varieties of squirrel and
bare, while among the birds are found
the eagle, hawk, owl, blackbird, part
ridge, pigeons, ruffled grouse and wood
cock. Within the enclosure of the
parks are eight large and beautiful
lakes, all well stocked with pickerel,
perch, bass, lake trout and all manner
of game fish, while excellent and well
stocked trout streams are found in
abundance. Heven hundred acree of
forest have been enclosed as a deer
park. I)og kennels, for the use of the
association, have also been established
at great expense and the finest breeds
that could be found abroad were pro
cured. The association issued bonds
to the amount of about s7o,Oft i, and it
is to satisfy this debt that the property
is to be sold.
Respectfully referred to Ilarry Hale,
and W. F. Malin. The opportunity
here presented should not be slighted.
