Before the Joint Commission had fair. ly settled. to its work, the. Republican 'or gene began to cry out "there has been no election by the people": and that the tri-, bunal . whose decision the whole , country bad been led to belieire would be.final. and result in declaring' Who bad been elected and of right shOuld . be inaugura ted President. Not Go v the,se Radical or gans say : The , Commission can only examine as -to whether the :election in three or four of the states hie been such: as to entitle thOie"states any voice in: the election. of a President, waif not, neither of the two candidates can nave a majority of the electoral vote. The object and intent of all this-out cry is to force the whole matter back up on Congress and compel them to elect in the manner. heretofore practiced, i. e. the House to elect the President and the Sen ate the Vice President. This.then is the last hope of men already :driven to dea lieration. From the , infliction of a by brid. in. the shape of a President and Vice President. of opposite political ornoions; we ferveutlY pray, Good Lord deliver Dili I -The .history of all such ,administrationi has universally been unfortunate, not to Bay disgratiefal, and we can hardly imag-: ins a worse' condition of affairs -than Would result. &Ord divOion in the`na..' tional councils at a timellke the preseiit.

The majority in the ,next Congress is so small and. harmonious, action so , lin portant that many of the leaders of the present Congress have deemed it advis- Ole to meet and Organize before any Poz sible c.auses of disagreement shall haye arisen. The success or failure of this measure ie largely. if not entirely-depend ent upon the decision of the Electbral .Commission.- • , , From present appearances the new Sen ete of the United States will be composed of 38. Republicans, 33 Demourats, and 2 Independent Republidans—Judgc Davis and ex-Governor Saunders, 01 Nebraska :--who will propably act with the:Demo crate. There will be two contested seats for Louisiana and one for South Carolina,. and,if Senators. Booth,' Chriatiancy, Wad leigh, Patterson, find Angus Cameron vote for the admission of the . DemocratiO claimants to seats from South Carolina,' the pemocrata will have 38 members np on, whom they can .rely . if the Senate is full. So we will still be "able to hold the kadicals even. • : 'Governor Wells appears to have felt the hard times Severely, gibed a whole State's vote to, sell, title. guaranteed; and Cameron did not ~ want to hpy any,more, than did Morrissey or .Hewitt. pAndl t the price only a pillion !

Pennsylvania Railroad . company, in Cot of common ; Pleas ,at Philadelphia,: tiie lacta are given as.follOws: The plain tiff .in November, 1868; , purchased at Harrisburg it ticket from the-defendants for passage to Philadelphia, the train on' which he was to take passage being known as the Cincinati.express. When the train reached - the station. at, 'Harrisburg it con sisted of but two pasienger cars; an or dinarY. car' and a. smoking car.. The plaintiff asserts that he was constitution:- ally unable to ride in the sinoking.car, and the other car was. full: The plain: tiff was - Afflicted th a 'disease Which; made - itanding - for' any ;:length .of time ,poSitivelY.injurioUs to him, and as: some. other cars were added to the train St - this place,.he asked lierinitiSioii of the:brakesis man, and was' directed •by ',him to , eUtei one of thein„ a. tileePing _car, where- . he- found a: seat:. When, the wnductor took up his ticket he demanded $.1,50 extra for the priveleze of .riding in the car, Which sPlantiff refused . to,. pay, ,alleging, that hii ticket entitled. him to a seat, and that there were no Seats elsewhere on-,the train. - The -conductor • Oterwarct put plaintiff off the train - moat`'eight mites frOn Lancaster: He; '-walked to Lancas ter,_and, 4L the 191:ig walk, his disease, as he-ajleges,- was aggravated to such an ex- tent that_he'has never entirely:ieccivered, from the , effect - of it: Le 'tirati's suit' for damages has been pending for eight peat* thetrial the company's :version ofthe. affair was that the condubtorallowed:thei plaintiff to, remain. in the sleeping - Oar "until-there 'were seats vaeant 'in other Parts of 'the tritinTthat shortly after the train' left, Middletown the conductor te4 guested him to:, take one .of these seats and he refused, WherettpOtf the train stopped hes*afLejeOted: : There, was no force the defendants claimed, used on the pliintiff except the - mere , laying on of hands so that he should not. iee.tri to as sert to his . being put 'Off:the train. It Was the duty 'of 'the plaintiff, his honor said, to accept, the seat. offered in the or- Amery car, if . such had been 'actually of fered him,and that: the. conflicting ver sions-of - de .affair , must ,be' reconciled by the; jury, The jury - after a deliberation, of. over two hotirs, returned a verdict of $8,500 damages,., "As you were!"--&ch the latest, army order.

As .the state officials were lost by the de fCision of the . : Supreme:: Court they were resolved .to save the eleptors for Hayes in 'accordance 'with the instruetiOns from Washington Ia reversing the returns of the four counties •they „insisted on figur • lug up a Republican, majority in a corm which they returned , a Democratic majority in the' former ` ' count,' and thus manufactured . a ,inajOrity Hayes in rdefiatice of the order of Supreme Court.

Hayes electors werenot legally chosen and 'therefore not' qualit3ed act, and that the Tilden electors were legally 'Chosen .and 'qualified to vote." Upon this decision rests the validity of• the second return. •As soon the new state r officials of Florida - entered 'upon . their. duties and the legislature. assembled. a law was pas sed under which. the ,new board, of can vassers declared the reault of the election in accordance ' with the &Titian Of the circuit andssupierne courts.. Another act was passed in s:which • the proceedings of the old returning board were declared illegal and the . Tilden electors pronounc ed duly chOsen. At the same time the governor .Was; instrucied - to 'issue certifi cates to the.
