Under such circumstunoes the poople be- como restloss and conclude that if such wrongs are constitutional and lawful, then our whole system Is defective, from turret to foundation-stone. The roal fault Is not io tbelaws, but ia the manner of enforcement, or Io the nocloct to enforce them at all; our laws aro not so bad, nor so sood, perhaps, as thoy might be, but they are Bhamofully neg- lectod or criminally enforced In numerous in stancos, aud tbe spirit of tho law ts not un dorstood or rospoctcd.

Under tbe Roman republic, citizens were tent from its farthest provinces to be tried at Home aud tbe Roman republic ended io a corrupt em pire and that empire tank down ander its load of vices and it now known only in hist07. Tbe republic of Carthage Is like wise known oclr ia history. The hundred pare democracies of tht valorous and liberty loving Gretki livt in song and story, while the cruel and half civilized Turk wares bit scepter over the kingdom of Alexander the Great and the forgotten republics of the Ori ent These facts were koowa to the frtmert of our constitution, and to avoid tbe reelt npon which republics and democracies of other ages had beo wrecked, they wisely provide a dual system for themselves and for their posterity.

I I urukuu uuwu nuu iuv uvau auu tuv uww v a government come together without inter vening members, that the political body is very imperfect and soon becomes all bead or all heels either a despotism or a mob. Nor is it all in the system that preserves a state; for all human contrivances are imperfect; yet when they are known to be permanent nd the people become accustomed to them nd have respect for them as their own, then estly administered and without thought of change until the need of a change is so PPt that It may be seen and felt by all. "A thousand years scarce orve to form a State; an hour may lay it in the dust," there. fore let us advocate no change that may bave even a doubtful influence upon our selves or our country.

Epitades bad the constitution amend- tat hereditary estates might be alien ad mi8ut disinherit one of bis sons, 1 tW Irbttby 80 ceeded' bnt aU olher estates were made alienable also, and Lord Byrop tells us the history of Sparta thus : "l'lint Freedom and then Glory-when that fails, Wealth, vice, corruption burburlnin at last. And History, with all her volumes viut, Huth but one pafc-e."

It must be remembered that this witness of the Democratic mana gers" was pliant tool of the infamous Louisiana Returning Hoard, and, con sequently, if ho (bould unwittingly swear the truth, there would be good reason to give him the "benefit of doubt" Hut in the estimation of the editor of the OrrytwiMn, it is perfect ly jast and legitimate that a half doteo such scoundrels as he has portrayed above should nullify t ten thousand majority vote ot the most substantial and honorible citizens of the State. lIedenour.ee the thief and at the j lame time pocket the iwag, About eight million American! vo ted tor tbe residential candidates in November and at least six mil Jon of that Lumber believe that Tiljn was elected, consequently if Hayes should be counted in, it proves that there are two million traitors and six million cowards in this thief and negro rid deu oligarchy. The Alta, speaking in regard to South Carolina affairs, says : H Surely there should be some authority some where for deciding the gubernatorial question, and it should be doneaf quick as possible." The people, who are the only competent authority, have already decided, and if Grant had any regard for bis oath or even for common decency he would call off lis bayonets, and the bogus Cham bcrlain abortion would turablo to pieces from sheer rottenness in less than twenty-four hours, and legal and constitutional government prevail, Hippie propounded this conundrum in Congress the other day: "The ight to hold office is one of tbe high est nights of an American citizen and how is he to be deprived of that right?" That "how" is just what Iipple and his rascally returning boards are trying to demonstrate. Fred Douglass says : "If Tildeo is ioaug urated the Devil will come In great wrath If the old fellow will exhibit bis wratn I we learn he did in olden times and rush tbe herd of Radical swine into tbe sea, he wi have accomplished some good in the world A Radical exchange says : "Democratic ways are do , our wavs. I bank yod lor his many mercies, of which this is Dot tbe least.

Very Uael'ul to livery One. In no other way can a person get back so large a profit lor a very little money, as to expend it in learning what to do, when to do it, aud how to do it ip other words, to have his brains help hia hunds. Here ia oue way to do this : The Binull saving or extra pro duction of loss thao half a cent a day, or 3 coots . a week, will now procure a Urge, beautiful, cheap Journal, for all of 1S77, splendidly Illustrated, with over GOO fine original Engravings, au 1 over a Thousand Columns of llu very best, plain, practical, trustworthy Information about tbe every day in-door and out-door work and comfort of every homo, Io Country, Village, und City. This information la not prepared by mere scribblers, but by a largo force of intelligent working men ajid women, who know what thoy wrilo about, and they are assisted by many others, who furnish information from their own practice and observation. Sucb a Journal as the American Agricultural, so named because started 35 years ago as a rural journal, but since greatly enlarged and improved to suit the daily wants of every man, woman aud child In City, County and Village for the Farmer and Gardener, the Merchant and Mechanic, the Professional Mau indeed all classes. It is packed full of useful information that every one ought to have. Many single hints and suggestions will repay more than a whole yoar's cost of the paper. Its original engraved plan for buildings tnd Improvements, with details ol cost, etc., and common-sense directions, are worth far more than a majority of tbe costly works on architecture. Great care is exer cised to have every line in the papnr reliable. Its constant, persistent and full exposure of a multitude ol humbugs and swindles, tre alone worth far more than its cost, and have saved to its readers and to tbe country mil lions of dollars that would have gone .into the bands of sharpers. The Departments for Housekeepers and Children are very use ful and entertaining. In sboit, the Amiri tan Agriculturist is full of good things, and oujjht to be in every bouse iu the land. Tbe circulation is to large that the publishers can supply it at little above the cost ol print ing paper or SI bU a year, sent post-paid ; or four conies S3 40.

Tbe case was argued bclore that body by Evarts for tbe Republicans and by Charles O'Con or and Jeremiah HIack tor the Demo crats. By a striot party voto, eight Republicans to seven Democrats, it was decided that no evidence coald be admitted or considered except the various electoral certificates and such evidence as shall be submitted on the quostion of the eligibility of Humph reys at a Presidential elector. This decision teems to be regarded by Re publicans as a great victory for their party. tTias. O Conor, however, says Til Jen has lost only one point n many, and has gained one in tew.
