THE CONfESTED -ELECTION
There always scorns to be great baste in
finding causo of complaint and censure -in
everything connected with the working
of practical politics. This - has received, a
new illustration in the . Gray and...He-Chit.°
contest. • • .
° A short statement of the action of the
Republican Senators will, perhaps, make
; the matter entirely clear to all who have
net al3Pecial interest in perverting it. The
net of 1839 is conceded by all to have 'no
r application whatever to the case. Or if it
could be applied, the effect would betspre
vont any investigation whatever, arra act
in express terms forbids the Senate to
take any action on any petition pre
sented as the present ono has been. When
this was discovered, a bill providing
for all contests was at once introduced in
which the committee was to be selected
under the cumulative voting system, and
for which the-Republican Senators voted
in .a body. When this was defeated
through the .opposition of the Democracy,
another bill was framed, which provided
for this special. case by the election of a
committee, on a plan which secured to each
party three members, and provided for the
selection of the remaining member in such
a manner as would give the chances con
,,siderably in :favor of the Democracy.
After considerable parley and when it was
evident that the Republican proposition --
was entirely fair and just, the Democ
racy receded horn their opposition, and
a committee has been drawn, and the
contest will be determined fairly.
—The-charge that the-Republican-Sena•--
tors intended to deny Col. McClure the
right to contest is groundless - and absurd.
No one l ever entertained such an idea for
a moment. Their ,intention was merely
to secure to Col. Gray a committee which
would in - no event be entirely composed
of his political opponentS. They were
willlnt that the Democracy should have
' a fair representation on the committee,
and that oven they might have more
chances to control the committee than
the. Republicans could. have. It was
conceded that the law of 7839, did not
provide for the case, and they de
termined that in the present investiga-
tiou the committee should as- far as
. possible be selected by the judgment Of
tlye Senate, Instead of trusting to the
combinations made by chance and the
prejudices of the contestants.
The - action of the Republicans con
trasts strongly with that of the Democ
racy in the Dechort ease. In that, there
was no doubt as to both the letter and
'meaning of the law. The, act of 1839,
in that case, required: the drawing of a
committee within five days from the
presentation of the petition. Instead of
drawing the committee 'as required, a
special committee was raised to deter
mine whether or not the petition was
sufficient in law if proved,,to oust the
sitting member. That Committee re
ported that thec•e was no grounds shown
for contest, and the Democracy then re
fused to draw a committee as required.
Now' the 'only reason which can be , as
signed by them for this action, is that it
would havi3 been unjust to the sitting
member then, to have subjected him to
the chance of haying a com'mittemof his
'political opponent l s'to pass upon the
-sufficiency of the petition to contest his
seat, for it is admitted that a drawn
committee is competent to pass upon
< that question, as well as the question of
tfact. The difference Bien between the
action of the Democracy last Winter,
and our action'ln the present case, is
that they violated the plain letter of the
law rather than expose their Senator to
the chance of an adverse committee,
and that we obeyed the strict:letter of
the law, in order to prevent any similar
unfairness. Both parties are open to
the charge of inaugurating a new practice
in cases of contest; the Democracy by
stilling the contest, and the Republicans
by securing It committee through the
deliberate. action and judgment of the
Senate. '
- In this connection it might not be
amiss to suggest that many of our Repub
lican journals saw fit to pronounce a
most hasty, jutlg,inent on the action of
the Senate. It may be true perhaps that
gentleman who control those journals
are better qualified to judge of questions
of law than the Senators of the Republi
can party, and it may be also that their
consciences aro more enlightened. As
however the contest has boon ordered in
n manner which ovary ono concedes is
fair and which, in the end r9ceived the .
saiict Um of all the Senators of both politi
cal parties, and an it is done on the
principles and in the manner, and for tha
aunonneed by tho Republican
Senators from the Brat, wo fail to see
the justification for the censures they
made so great haste to bestow.

HARRISBURG LETTER
Itenuisnuna, FEnitueltr'2o, 1872
The contested election case . from the
Fourth District' has consumed almost
the entire time nnd attention of tile
Senate during tho last week, 'to the
exclusion of every thing else except more
routine business. The Democracy had
determined that tho committee to try
the contest shouldbe drawn under Abe
act of 1839, and the Republicans were
equally determined that it should be
drawn in some other manner
would necessarily - .give both parties
nearly a fair representation on the com
mittee. - The, political parties being ,a tie
the consequence was a dead lock on that
question for the whole week.
On Friday last, however, the Democ
racy concluded' that it would be 'im
possible for them to' justify themselves
in rejecting the Republican proposition
any longer, concluded to yield grace
fully. They, however, demanded that
the act ,of 1839 should 'be declared to
apply to all future contests arisiu `
g• out
of special elections. This the Republi
cans
concedt;d for the-sake of getting
rid of the elephant which was troubling
both sides, and then the plan known as
the Billingfelt bill, was adopted for the,
trial of the contest.
J; M. Wallace.i-
No. S
The manner of drawing . the committee
under the act of 1839 consists in placing all
the names of the Senators present, except
the Speaker and sitting member, in a-box,
mid then allowing the Clerk to draw the
names for the committee. Each panty hits
the right to challenge, with' or without
cause, until but thirteen names remain in
(Mt . box, A list of these is then made and
- tf
the parties strike from.it alternately until
but seven remain. Them., seven constitute
the committee, IL will be seen at once
that ouch party will strike every Sepator
who is opposed to him politically. Should
there be run" of the names belonging
to-either—pwvty.while t ey_are bell) g drawn .
from the box, they will all be challenged,
and then as the thirteen left will be neces
sarily_ nearly all of the other party, the
coil mittee may be composed entirely of
Senators of the same facth. This, although
it mar seem an unusual" chance, occurs so,
frequently as to cause considttrablecommont
ma some scandal.
By tho plan adopted in the present
case, si x. of the committee are elected
by the Senate iu open session, each Sdn
atorvoting for but three. This insures the
election of three of each party always, un
less our party should have less than one
third of the Senate. The seventh man is
determined by lot. Thirteen names be
ing drawn in the usual manner, and the
parties being allowed to strike alter
nately until but ono remains, who is the
seventh man on the committee. In the
present condition of the Senate the
chances are - that this man will- be a
Democrat, and if so, the Democracy
will control the committee.
The investigations ordered by the
Senate 'aro progressing with_ average
speed. . The Evans investigating 'com
mittee has had several sessions, but as
yet, has. not developed anything with
reference to that case which has not
been already made public. The investi
gation of the alleged sale of...medical
diplomas by l colleges chattered by the
Legislature, has brought.to light some
very damaging facts, with reference to
the manner in which-,certain -cTir those
schools manufacture physicians. P.
The House ha not yet made any
progress in general legislation, but has
done quite its full share on private and
local bills. It, has taken action on the
bill providing for a Constitutional Con
vention, fixing the time for the election
of delegates on the day of the general
election in October next. The time for
adjournment, as already fixed, is ap
proaching rapidly, and owing to the
various complications growing out of
contested seats and vacancies, but little
has yet been accomplished. It is hardly
possible that an adjournment will be
had at the time fixed.
VICE PRESIDENT COLFgti is out in a
brief but manly letter, denying the ru
mors again set afloat that be is filmic:Liu
voring, for the Presidency, and declaring
himself squarely fur clrant's re-nomina
tion. After 'speaking of the cordial
relations existing between the President
and himself, he says : . •
feel deeply the obligations I am
under to the Republicans of Indiana and
the nation for their long'continned con
fidence ; and polititial duty to a party
whose record for the past year is the
noblest ever made by any party, in any
country or any age, induces me to say if
the National Convention deemed it wit-
Oa to re-nominate me fur the Mike I
now hold I would accept, but my inter , '
est in, the continued ascendency of Re
publicanism is fur greater than any
personal considerations, and if the Con
vention prefers some one else fur the
Vico Presidency—and there are many
abler' and worthier—no man in the
United States will' exceed me in the
cordiality and earnestness with which 1
shall support him ; I am not a candi
date for the Presidential nomination,
lining just su decidedly as ever in favot
of Prokidelat Orient's re-nomination, and
hope our Convention on the twenty-sec
ond will so declare unanimously. I beg
for the sake of harmony politically, and
to save me personally from do suspicion
of bad faith toward one with whom my

0 UR ;SERMON TO-DAY.
The amount of sham piety in the world
is somewhat disheartening.' We are not
disposed to ho captiOus and misjudge
people who attempt to be good,, but we
do Mid fault with those, who, as. 50114;
ono else has said, pray on Sunday and on
their neighbors all the rest of the weak.
A little piety is flit bettor than no piety.
The man who has respect enough for rs
ligion to'go to church on Sunday;,,
'bettor off Bunn he who utterly Ignores
. o_.
tontion to any religious observances.
But this is not , all that we want 'in the
good people of the potion. If they al..e
to leaven : the whole mass of wiekedones,
they must be positively good, and ga ol
all the Maio.
People may ho - Very good who go to
church twico on Sunday and to Fria ly
night prayer meetings, who give gon:r
ously to charitable objects and in the
main ntrive to do,:in the oyes of tho out
side wurid, as Christians ought to do
But we think these, even, could °stabil-di
a higher, grade of Christian eicellonce by
carrying their piety into the housollo:.i:b,
True' Christian fooling forbids, demos' n
wrangling. It+ counsels Patience in
oVor;ything. If tholamily curriculum in
not perfectly smooth, it suggests a cola'
adaptation to any imexpe - cted roughness:
IS thii.tablo is not absoluto pbrisction in
.everY respect, it asks that proper allow
ance be made for - accidents and• !Afore ;
soon imperfections.
The man or woman who goes through
life thinking everything should be just
as he or she wants it, is 'either very in
.exporion'ced or a crotchety fool- We
can't have everything to please us In this
life„and the sooner wo find this eut r the
earlier itrewe likely to have a more con
tented disposition. An& contentment
leads to a pious frame of mind. We
may be over so pious verbally, and yet
manifest our sincerity by no. other out
ward sign. We have heard the blessing
before meals—" Bless, this food to our
use, and give us grateful hearts," fel-
Jewett by un , tinted abuse - of every dish
on the table. The bowed heads, which
joined in it, request for gra6)ful hearts,
must have had as little idea of the pur
port of the t, , tsing, as if it had been
.said in Arni.te.
Now, as we said before, we don't want
to he captious. prefer : to encourage
the piety ‘u hich is in the world; rather
than to discourage those who ha . vo ever
so little. But we don't believe it Will do
any harm to those who come within the
class we have
_described, to know just'
what effect their conduct has upon ob
servers. • They ought to know that piety
which 'exhausts itself on Suntlay and 'at
the weekly prayer meeting is not the kitid
to impress the unconverted. iho're
ligion which reserves itself for up-town
churches and never gets' below Four
teenth street, won't hold, according to
our notion; when the deeds done in the
body are taken into consideration. For
these deeds are not those of SuMlay end
the•week prayer 'meet ng right alone,
but of the six days when a pe;•ro:.'s piety
is the mo,:t, severely put to Ilia - test. It
is thii easiest thing in the world to be a
Christian on Sunday When the rest of
the community have rested from their
secular pursuits and aro not endea:m:ng
to eircumivt you. Ilut front Monday..
to SaturdaY; when all the passions of
cupidity, revenge, selfish tiers, aNtliSi..
tion and ambition, aro aroused, resist
ance to wrong is more difficult. Sulf
day and prayer meeting night Christians
exclusively have small influence id win
ning men from improper courses. Those
who are Christians, in word and deed,
seven days in the week, have an immense
influence for good. The former bring
churches into bad repute. The latter
ennoble their professions, and draw men
from their unrighteous pursuits. In ex:
pressing .these sentiments wo desire to
detract nothing from the godd influence
which men may have, n ewt if they live
but partially up to the standard of true
piety, but we assure them that their ex.
amphi in their every day life is far more
.potent for good than their conduct in the
church or before the weekly meeting.
Practice is at all times far better tha n
precept, ' K.

Who will take care of the 'poor? Is
it not the case of some'whci pretend to
preach the gospel, to get away from
thorn? They commenced among. the
poor, and succeeded in winning many of
them to Christ, but as they grew older
and wealthier, they gradually wont away
from them. What church now , careslo
aepomniodato itself td the poor? What
rules and regulations are being made for
them? Do At, churches change their
order to weet, the wishes and suit the
opinions of the rich? But who will
then take care of the poor? What
church will change or open the door for
the poor? Does not a rich man stalra
better chance in the church than a poor
man? Are they not permitted to do
what a poor man would not dais do?
Something is being done for the express
benefit of the poor. I hoard a brother

Such bursts of benevolence dre seldom

it for the sake of the scads of the pour,
or is it to get rid oftthom? The pre

superfine s ministers do not want to

many of the protestant churches, that
they have measurably gone away from
the poor; but such is the spirit of tie
age. What about the poor . / Is it not
the true mission of the church to go to
to poor? Did not Jestirl send his
disciples into the highways and bodges?
Is it not the duty of the ministers that
preach to do so ? Is it not reasonable
that the we'rik should, lean on the strong

the wise for wisdom.. , But who.: will
remain in the valley, who will labor for
the poor? * Jesus came to preach, the
gospel to the poor. Most, it' not all of
his disciples wore poor. , What means
this stretching out of the hands toward
the World, toward the rich of this world?
Is it frourdovo to thhiCsouls,.nr is it for

A Boys' BAITTLEI. ~The W heeling
(W: Va.) Rogiater says: For a week or
two past the boys of the rival .villages
of Bellaire, on the Ohio side of the Hier,
and Bellwood,
.on tho West Virginia
side, have been . engaged in fighting: -
Whenever a Bell'ar boy was found on
thiS' side of the river ho ,was unmerci
fully beaten, and when a Benwood boy
was discovered in Bellaire the flogging,
was re-paid,with interest. Last Satur
day week the boYs'of the two places met
on, the ice and engaged in. a. regular
pitched battle, using stones and oven
pistols. Some of the combatants are
now in Marshal county jail, awaiting
trial for riot.
On Saturday ]list a vast number of
boys, about ono hundred and fifty on
each side,- met on the ice, by appoint
ment, it would ; seem, and engaged in a
most torriffie fight. Every conceivable
missile was used, and several of _the
,combatants received .cuts in the rii3ad
and face.. The battle raged with fury
for about 'two hours.
Ono hoy,, a:lad about thirteen years
old, named Furson, whose parentp' live
in Bellaire, was struck behind the oar.
He fell on the ice stunned. In a short
.time lie revived, sufficiently to enable
him to go home. Ho suffered ,terribly

SET:DM; NEWSPAPERS IVY MAIL.-By
a recent decision of the Postoflice
Partrneht, tho law regarding Bonding
nu.spapers by mail has been more
clearly defined than it has heretofore
stood. No name ,or memorandum can
be made on a newspaper inside of the
wrapper on Which the address is writ
ten. It is barely Permissible to mark
an article with pen or pencil. More
than this ,subjects the paper to letter
postage, and the violator of the law to
line. No printed card, handbill or ad
vertisement, no wr;ttem notice, letter, or ,.
slip of any kind whatsoever, must bi
folded in the paper. To do any of these
things is to violate the law. Printed
slim; pasted on the outside or folded in
papers or periodicals, soliciting notices,
are also violations of the law. Senders
of transient papers can send bundles of
printed matter by weight at transient
postage charges, hut must nut send any
written Matter in such bundles.
PRESS DEAD IlEnns.—Railroads oc
casionally complain of the dead-heading,
bnano institution•suffers so much by it
as the, press. A. sensible writer says:
"The press endures the affliction of
dead headism from the pulpit, .the bar
and the stag., ; from corporations, so
cieties hnd individuals. It is expected
to yield its interests ; it is required to
give strength to the weak, ey,;,, to the
blind, clothes to the naked, and 'bread
to 'die hungry ; it is asked to cover in
firmities, hide weaknesses and wink at
quacks; bolster up dull authors arre,
Hatter the vain ; it is, iu short, to be all
things to all men, and if it looks for pay
or reward it is denounced as mean find
sordid. There is ail er-st under the
whole heavens that is expected to give
so much to society wit lomt p.,ty or thanks
as the press."

"suffice it to say," the gentleman had a
brilliant and appreciative audience, and
fairly carried the audience awily on the

His rendering of the Irishman and
