The refusal of -the Electoral Commie's; ion, by a partisan Tote of 8 to 7, 'toadniit testimony upon the of the Return ing Board of Louisiana and - . the ineligi bility of ' two electors. from that State. has practically closed the case, as far as the Democratic party is ,, concerned, aid all that now remains to consummate the diabolical scheme which was concocted by Zach Chandler on the night of the 7th of November last, is - the formal in stallation of.: Rutherford B. Hayes into the office of President. That the decis ion of the Commission Jias been a sore disappointment to a large majority of the people of the United States, irre spectiie of partyrove haveno doubt. That a Cownission composed -.entirely of men standing high in the legal profession and accustomed to form opinions after hear ing-and weighing testimony, should Ven ture to decide in: a ease in, which the rights of not only one',.state, but all ate States are at stake, without the examina tion of a single witness or the introduction of a single affidavit, seems to them so en-, tirely a'variance with the judicial training and habits of the individual, members of the Commission that they can hardly be im that .such is the ease. . • On this point the Phifa.

A State that -Voted by thousands for Mr. Tilden ; whose electoral vote was flaunted for barter on the streets, like the charms of her whose steps lead unto death; 'whose laws were violated by revolution and actual fraud in open day; whose 'lesser usurpations in past contests have been spurned from . the Senate and ,from ;theilouse and pro nounced' l a shame'""upvtt civilization ; whose officials from whom th 6 accepted returns have come, must be' strangers at the door, of the power to be created by : theircrimes, and lenceforth wanderers from the associatons of men—this State has been made to• decide a Presidential contest by a return that no judge dared to even look upon; _and by a declared computation of, the vote that eyea. the return board conceals from. the country, at the cost of imprisonment.

Tuesday and Wednesday last,. was .worthy of the reputttiom of the orator as well as the gieatcause in which it was delivered. There was' no lofty flights - of 'eloquence, but the speech was a close and rigid ea positionof the fraudulent processes of the conspiracy to , defeat the peoplein, their choice of a President. ,Alr - Caipen-, ter,began by , saying that he did not pear; :for , 'Mr. Tilden,- with whom he bud no personal acquaintance, but for ten Thousand ditifranchised- voter! of Louisi ana. lie then proceeded to Make anad mirable presentation: of the 'powers and . duties of the electoral commieSion,.which are to investigate the facts, defeat fraud upon the _suffrage, and not. to.arbitrate betv,reen partieS, buts to declare the:tron , est result of the 'election' for the whole people of the United States Aftei maintaining that ..the law of LohisrarM ,does not confer on, the returning board a shadow of authority to 'canvass the votes for, .President, Mr Carpenter proceeded to the that_ the . constitution of the United States does not give judieial power to this board; and that as the Jaw of the state rests on therconstitution, all its pretended canvassingof the votesi*i4 suit-and void. In illpstr#itiithe thal one - man Cannot' be punished for the fault of 'another he - said, suppose that' in the city of Milwaukee, which cane give four thoulanil democratic Majority, one hundred republicans should intithidate a hundred democrats, :would it be just to reject tne entire vote? 'Even -if this board possessed judicial power's it would be proved that it has exceeded those - POW 4, ers and has acted in violation,of "tiialaw which called it into existence. Mr. Oar- Frenier ieeviewe& the -statutea; providing that the returns shall be made in cake ',within twetity4Our hodrs,*andigaid it wduld he Proved- that many .of tl e. re turns had not been made. ±within fifteen* days. He showed by quotatiOni, froftklie. report of. Messrs. Hoar, Wheeler arid Frye, to the last. congress how these de lays could' be made to change the result at the ballot bog, and how in fact ten : thousand voters had been disfranchit3ed by this process. . Senator Howe bad not sought to deny ' the commission of these frauds, but ex cused them on the ground, that both par. ties were guilty. Adthitting this,it does'not belong'to Louisiana to become a judge in her own cause. It is an untenable theory that one of the compromised parties has the right to pronounce'against its adver ' sa'ry. This does not concern a merelocal interest so that 'the people of, Louisiana could wash their dirty linen at home.—, But the entire nation i's interested in,the laws which congress' make as -well as in the choice - of a President . by the popular suffrages,: Mr. Carpenter quotes:l:v:on ,from the.:report of W . l.leeler, ,Boar ;acid Frye on the frauati of, the Louisiana re -turning board, and eiclaimed, " Would not.
