VLtn such men m Senator HiU, of Georgia, come forward an J tell the onntrj generally, and the revolu tionists in particular, that the South will be faithful to bdr pledges that the mxle when the Commission was crested to settle the question, of whicL are the legal Presidential re tains, it is time for attch obstruction ists as Stetgvt and Reily to hide their facwa. Thej belong to the cap lions circle, that fan the flame of contention. It U a pitj that the Ja r id.ta Valley Las two such ruuToprs nerti tires in Congress, but it is a c'ii-in bign that the South has a nr.mbfei- of such honorable Senators a Mr. Kill in Congress now. 'Where ttbntru'tkm was looked for it did tvt appear. Such is the cheering What tli 3 Country Understood the Tribunal Should Decide. Hayes has iM declared the legally olwctod President of the United States by the Commission that was author ized to settle the disputed question between himself and Tilden. That is, the Commission has declared the hrce disputed State in favor of A n amber of the erring political b.eihren are quite deeply exercised ovr t::j result, while the yreat mass of boi'.i p u ties are rejoicing that the plans of the vicious office-holders on Ilus one side and the vicious office seekers on the other side, have been taught a lesson that will act whole somely on all 6uch people for years to come. The dissatisfied garties are trying et this late dny to muddle the ques tion, by telling the people, wherever tuey can get people to listen to them, that the work of the Commission was not done as it should have been done. When they thus speak they mean that the Commission did not act as they wanted them to do ; but the peo ple understood fully what the great question before the Commission was. liiey understood the question to be, which of & number of certified returns from FloiiLi, Louisiana and Oregon, is the correct return. That was the whole case, which of the three re turn papers from Florida, which of the four return papers from Louisi ana ar. l which of the two return papers from Oregon is the correct paper. There could only be one cor rect and legal return paper from e:tch SLute. The politicians of the three States were in such a debauch ed stite that they would not agree on any one return or certificate, but thry made out a number and sent them to Washington. When the con flicting certificates or returns reached Washington, the friends of the re spective parties took sides, and they til asked, how shall the question of which, is which, as letween the re turns be decided ? Which is the fish jmd which is the fowl ? One party said, Oh ! that is easily settled ; the Trcsidf-nt of the Senate shall open the certificates, he has always done so in the past, and he will decide which of the disputed certificates is the right cne. Oh ! no, said the other party, that will not do ; the Presi dent of the Senate has no right to decide questions of disputes as to which is the regular or legal return or certificate. Congress discussed the question thoroughly, and the wisest men in that body concluded that to satisfy all the reasonable peo ple, the better plan was to pass a bill to create a Commission or Tribunal that should take all of the returns, or-cn tL'-m, and state for whom the vote i of the States had been cast as slated on the returns or certificates, and when the returns or certificates fiorr. ilia wrangling States were rc-i? je the Commission should de vk -.. Li.-h. cf the disputed return p.ip'-rs trrs or is the legal one. The Commission did that, and that is just what the country generally under stood the Commission was created for. The dissatisfied men, the revolu tionists, now are clamoring that the Commission was created to examine as to the elections in the respec tive States were held. The country understands the de pice of value to place on such clamor. The country understood the work of the Tribunal was simply to decide, niter projwr inquiry, as to which of the disjjuted returns sent from Flor ida, Louisiana, and Oregon is the legal one.

THE CASK rilRI.r STATED OX TuE tyLITJtd. Frura tte Cbicagu Tribune. Tlie argument that has been made before tho Board of Arbitration on the Louisiana cae would iikiI a pretty large volume, but we cab state the gist of the cum in a few words. There ar fctj-nine countieti, or par ishes, as the j are called, in Louisiana. The Presidential election was held with tolerable foil ness in fift j-four of the fiftj-nine pcru-he; but in five every species of fraud, violence and villainy were practiced by the White Liners to wipe out the strong Repub lican majorities therein, and make them return heavy majorities for Til- den. For the purpose of easy com parison, we place side by side the re sult of the elections of 1S71 and 1S7G. The former election was well contest ed on both sides, but the White Liners did not resort to bull-dozing and bssassimttion to influence the Republican voters : 1874. t 187-i. PARISH. iK-ni. Keu.

Tho Tildea ma jority in the whole State is claimed to be 6,549. It is thus seen that if there had been a fair election held in these five parishes, the majority for Hayes would have exceeded 2,000 in the State. The registered vote in the five parishes showed about 10,000 Republicans to 5,000 Confederates ; but by bull-dozing and murder the 5.000 Confederates succeeded in beat ing 10,000 Republican votes and re turning for themselves the comforta ble majority of 4,588 for Tilden ! When these monstrous returns came before the State Returning Board, it called for testimony as to the degree of intimidation, fraud and assassination that had been practiced, and, after hearing and reading the evidence of several thousand witnes ses, the Bonrd proceeded to purge the returns by throwing out the votes cast in the bull-dozed precincts, as the laws of Louisiana made it their sworn duty to do, with this result : RET BOABIVj COSrtnV PARISH. cocxt.

By the report of the Returning Board, after the frauds had been eliminated as far as practicable, Hayes hod 1.40(1 ma jority. These corrections wiped out 6,094 of the false and pretended Til den majorities in the State. A few corrections of notorious frauds in some other parishes left a majority of the legal votes for Hayes and Wheeler. What the Democrats who argued before the Arbitration Board demanded that the Tribunal should set aside the canvass made by the State Returning Board, and gather up the cast-out, fraudulent, and bull dozed votes, and count them for Til den ! This a majority of the Tribu nal have decided would be unlawful and unconstitutional, and cannot be done without utterly disregarding the rights of the State. Because they refused to trample upon the laws and rights of Louisiana, they are denounced and villified by the reckless and desperado class of par tisans and office-seekers. Seven Hundred Wives. The countries wherein the histori cal characters of the Bible figured, are still governed by quite the frame class of laws that governed them thousands of years ago. The Bible student is amazed at the habits of the people spoken of in that good book, when he is told by it that David, Solomon, and many other highly-praised characters had a num ber of wives living at one time. He is inclined to pronounce the condi tion of the world then as fearfully bad. Measuring all the world from one standpoint, he sees the world only as he sees it here at home, and as he reads it in his good book, but by and by he leirns that in the old country, whereof his blessed book speaks, they live as they did when the Bible was written, and have, among other institutions, just as many wives as a man can or cares to keep. Only last week a despatch from across the ocean stated that the Minister of War of the Governor of Irypt has 6even hundred wives. Does the world move t Matrimony at an End.

Carlyle on Darwin. From a recent letter. A gcod sort of niso is this Darwin and well meaning, but with little iu telleot. Ah ! it's a sad, terrible thing to see nigh a whole generation of men and womcu, professing to be cultivated, looking around in a puib ind fashion aud finding at God in this universe. I sup pose it is a reaction from the reign of cant and hollow pretense, professing to beleive in what in fact tbey do nut be lieva. And this is what we have got to. All things from frog spawn -, the gospel of dirt the order of tbe day. l'ne older 1 ?row and I now stand up on the brink of eternity the more comes back to me the sentence in tba Catechism, which 1 learned wben a child, and tbe fuller and deeper its meaning becomes : What is the chief end of man To glorify God and enjoy Him forever." No gospel of dirt, teach ing that men have descended from frogs, through monkeys, can ever set that aside. Five Thousand Dollars for a Wife.

A few weeks ago he offered $5,000 to any one who would furnish hitn a wife. The announcement created merriment at the time, but nothing further was thought of it till this morning it was an nouueeed that the old man was mar ried to Miss Pnccbe Johns, a highly respected young lady, aged 17. The old man's offer bad been taken in hand by Powell Shade, with whose family tbe young woman lived, and Shade re ceived the $5,000, $2,000 of which was paid to the girl's father, the girl herself receiving as an inducement a deed from the old man for his farm of 200 acre of very valuable land.
