HAVEN’TITLE AN II A REltl AIIKA-
III.E LETTER.
A new sensation bas been produced.
It is causing many of the implacahlea to
demand that Congress shonld inquire into
the status of the Electoral Commission,
and whether tho members were gnided
by prinoiples of right and law, or mere
motivos of expediency. All the journals
havo comments on the now discovery.
It is certainly having tho effect to remove
much of that romaining respect wbioh
formerly attached to onr highest jndioial
tribunal, after the shsmeloss decision
wbioh dofeated the will of the majority of
tbc people of the United States.
In the Now York Sun, of Tuesday, there
appears a letter from Mr. George W.
Jones, of Tennessee, a prominent Con
gressman from that State before the war,
giving the points of a letter ho addressed
to Jnstice Strong, of the United States
Supreme Court, a member of the Elec
toral Commission, during the sitting of
that body, and Judge Strong's reply. Mr.
Jones was a member of Congress with
Judge Strong. They both belonged to
the Democratic party, and appear to have
been intimate friends. He, therefore,
felt at liberty to write to Jndge Strong,
and this paragraph gives the snbstanoe of
his letter:
When yon and I were in Congress to
gether yon woro a Democrat, and regard
ed as an honest man. Do yon believe
that the people of Louisiana eleated or
voted for tho Hayes eleotors ?
To this pointed inquiry Jndge Strong
answered on the 20th of February by the
following remarkable letter;
Washington, February 20, 1877,
The lion. Ueorge IF. Jones :
Mr Dead Sir ; I was a Democrat when
you and I woro together in Congress. I
am a Demoorat now. I hold to all tho
opinions the State Bights Democrats have
always held, and whiob the acknowledged
loaders of tho party have avowed up to
the present winter—never more olearly
than in 1873 to 187S.
I do not bolievo that Congress bas any
oonstitntional right to inquire into State
oleotions for State electors.
Congress has of late years interfered
quite too tnuoh with the States. The
Elootoral Commission has no more power
thnn Congress bas, and I think it would
ho a most dangerous usurpation were it
to do what the States alone have a right
to do, even to enro what I fear was a great
wrong of tho Louisiana Uetnrning Board.
I cannot donht that suoh will be yonr
opinion when yon refloat to what the as
sertion of snah a power wonld lead. It
would plaoo (he right of the States, re
specting the choice of eleotors, at the
mercy of tho Federal Government, and
be tho groatost stride over made toward
centralization.
Better suffer a present evil than open
such o door; hotter than abandon all tho
time-honored principles of the Demo
cratic party.
I am yonrs, very respeotfully,
W. Stbong.
Surprises novor cease. If that reply
does not iudiosto that Judge StroDg voted
to sustain the Louisiana and Florida lie-
tnrning Boards in thoir rasoality, what
does it moan ? The exposure is right,
and a Congressional investigation by
Congress may bring other ngly things to
light. Probably Judge Field might be
iuduoed to toll what Jndge Bradley’s opin
ions woro as they were expressed to him
before tho Bepublioan pressure was
brought to hear. He was the eighth lte-
pnblioan, and tho one who daoided.
HNDBHINU HAVES.
THE BEI’UIILIOAN BENATOBS TO HOLD OVEB
HIS NOMINATIONS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Washington, October 80.—The ltopub-
liosn Honatora hold a oanoua to-day, and
look ground in direot opposition to tho
President. Two things came up before
tho Bouate, the consideration of nhminn-
tious to which objection bas boen mado,
aud tho rules of tho Senato under whiob
Iho objections of a Senator aro fatal to
any nominations from his own Htato. On
both thoso points tho Kopnhlioan Senators
decided to snub tho Administration. Ad
hering to tho past practice of the Senate,
it was decided that all nominations to
wbioh objection has been mude shonld go
over to tho regular session unless speaial
reason existed for their consideration
onrlior. Tho aotion taken npon the rule
of the Souatti, as it is oalled, was proba
bly duo to tho foot that a good many pro-
diotioue havo been thBt it would not be
followed iu doaling with Hayes' appoint
ments. But was deoidod at the canous
to day that it would be adhered to until
further notice.
Tho result of this double aotion iB that
tho Now York nominations, the Louisi
ana nominations, both of about eqna) im
portance to tho Administration, Judge
Hilliard's selection for a foreign miasion,
and a number of scattering appointments,
will not he touched till the second or
third week iu Dooembor.
The oauons also deoidod to appoint
nine memhera of the joint oommittee on
tho eleotornl question, wbioh make the
number of Senators and ltepresentitavea
equal.
MIII’HEME COURT DECISION.
INTERESTING POINTS AS TO THE POWERS OF
STATE LEGISLATURES,
Washington, Ootobor 29.—The follow
ing oanae was docided in the Supreme
Conrt to day.
No. 343. State of New Jersey and
Morris aud Essex Kailroad Company vs.
Y’ard, Commissioner of ltailroad Taxation;
error to tho Court of Errors and Appeals
of New Jersey. In this ease it ia held
that a statue of a State wbioh deolares
that all charters of corporations granted
after its passage may be altered, amended
or repealed by the Legislature does not
necessarily apply to supplements to a
oharter already passed, though the sup
plement he subsequent to the statue; nor
does a provision in a supplement to a
oharter whiob says that this
supplement aud the oharter to
which it ia a supplement may be
altered < r amended by tLe LigWluturp
apply to a contract with the company
mado in a supplement passed long after.
Snob reservation of right to repeal
fonnd in the atatnes, unlike similar
provision iu the Constitution of
a State, are only binding on suc
ceeding Legislatures bo far as they choose
to adopt them, aud a legislative oontraot
may be made whiob ia not repeatable if the
Legislature so intend. It is, therefore,
in any case a question whether the Legis
lature making the oontraot intend that
the former provision for the repeal or
amendment should become a part of the
new oontraot by implication. In this
case said ooutraot of 180S for a specific
rate of taxation is inconsistent with any
such implication. There was a subject
of dispute and a fair adjustment of the
controversy for a valuable oonsideration
on both aides. The oontraot assumtd by
the reqoirementa of legislation spoke of a
formal written ooDtraot signed by both
parties, snd the terms of oantract that the
tax shall he in lieu and satisfaction of all
other taxation or imposition whatever
tiy or uuder the antbority of the State,
when viewed in the light of the whole
transaction, do nut admit the idea of the
right of the State to revoke at pleasure.
Reversed. Mr. Justice Miller delivered
the opinion. Mr. Jnstioe Bradley took
no part in the decision.

THE OBAND LODGE—OFFICERS ELECTED—
REVISED CONSTITUTION—ACADEMY FOB
THE BLIND—DULL BUSINESS IN MACON—
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Macon, Ga., November 1, 1877.
Editor Emjuirer-Hvn: The election
of officers by the Grand Lodge yesterday
consumed tho ontiro morning. James M.
Mobley, of Hamilton, was elected Grand
Master, and J. I. Wright, of ltome, Depu
ty Grand Master ; James W. Taylor, Sen
ior Grand Warden; J, M. Kashin, Junior
Grand Warden ; Joseph E. Wells, Grand
Troasnrer; J. Emmett Blackshear, Grand
Secretary, and Chas. H. Freemen, Grand
Tyler. Their installation took place laat
evening.
The afternoon was taken up in the con
sideration of the revised oonstitntion and
by-laws submitted by the oommittee ap.
pointed several years since for that pur
pose, bnt a portion was left for tbia
morning, and with bnt few ohanges baa
now been adopted, to be finally aeted on
at the next commnnication of the Grand
Lodge. The matter of increasing the
dins to be paid the Grand Lodge by sab'
ordinate lodges from $1.00 to $1.25
oansed much debate, bat was finally
adopted. This increase was considered
necessary to pay off tbo debt increased in
building the Grand Lodge Hall, for which
bonds were issned, of whiob $28,000 are
yet outstanding. There are other obBnges
from the present oonstitntion, hot I think
tboy are generally desirable, and believe
the inatrnment will be adopted next year
with but little dissent.
Many of tbe members, npon invitation
extended by Prof. Williams, of the Acad
emy for the Blind, availed themselves of
tbo opportunity to attend, laat night, a
musical and literary exhibition by the
pnpila of the Aoademy. The skill and
extent of learning displayed by the nnfor-
tnnate scholars attest the oare and ability
of Prof. Williams and his assistants. Ho
is anxious to have tho addresB of all per
sons who are totally blind, and if they
ure nnable to pay tnition it is famished at
the expense of tbe State.
This afternoon reports of various cum
in ittees were presented and adopted, and
tbe standing committees annonnoed, the
one on Foreign Correspondence being the
most importont, of whiob Samuel Law
rence is Chairman, and embraoeB F. M.
Brooks, of yonr oity.
All the business having been transacted,
the body adjourned at a late hour, after a
very harmonions session.
I am told that business in Maoon is
very dull; indeed as bad as it was in mid-
snmmer. Cotton reoeipts are behind
yonr town, and bnyers are feeling blue,
thoir late controversy with tho ware
housemen accomplished no good, bnt was
rather to their dotrimont.
HATES' CONTRACT WITH UOULD.
TWO VISITS TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO EN
FORCE THE BARGAIN WITH
ZAOH CHANDLER.
Special to Now York Sun.]
Washington, October 30.—When Jay
Gould was in tbe oity a fow days ago he
paid two visits to the White Uonse and
had two interviews of two hours’ duration
with Hayes. Jay Gould invested $76,000
in his Frandnienc.v, and ho doesn't want
to be treated aa Zaob Chandler and other
patriota were who invested heavily in tbe
same way.
The story of Jay Gonld’s investment
will benr repeating a good many times
without beooming stale. It was at the
time when the outlook for hisFrandnlenoy
was abont as bnd na it oould well be.
Indiana and West Virginia had gone
Domooratio, and Ohio bad only been
pulled through for the Re.
publieans by the aid of the
$10,000 aont to Hayes in person by Zaoh
Chandler in two drafts, fao-similes of
wbioh have been printed in the bun.
Hayes had oome on to Philadelphia to at
tend the Centennial show on Ohio's day.
While there he wss waited upon by
Engene Halo, of Maine, snd Secor Kobe-
son, and by them told that Jay Gonld
proposed to contribute $76,000 on tho
condition that if Hayes was eleoted he
wonld give the Union Paoiflo funding
scheme a fair oonsideration. Hayes Raid
he wonld, and authorized Hale and Kobe-
son to Bay to Gonld that he aooepted the
money on his terms. Tho visits of Gould
to the White Honse were to demand the
fair consideration that Hayes promised.
He wants him to ssy a good word for tho
jot) in his annual message to Congress.
Wilt Hayes do ss he is bid?
