If we glance nt the prominent fuels in this con troversy we witnos* u disregard by Governor Pen nington and his pliunt Federal Council, of the in valuable right of suffrage. which must, when tho waves of party strife shall have subsided, drive him like a hark deprived of rudder, .nils, and com pass, high and dry on the strand, the scorn uf an observing people. He m>y now glory in the successful violution of the right of pupulnr suffrage. Then none of his apologist* will bo so hold as u» approve those deeds, which recently enacted, stemp him ns the unfaithful guardian of a pie's rights. Let us take a brief glance et the law and Censiitution, applicable to I lie present controversy. The second section, 1st Art. of the Con-tilution of the United States provides, that •* th- H-msc of Representative* shall be composed of memliers chosen kV.-ry second year by th, people of the seve ral Stales.'’ The filth section of the same article, declares that—•' Each House shall be thejtid^e of the elec tion*, returns, and qualification* of its own mem bers.” Tho laws of New Jerspy require the as-essnr nnd collector of the township, with it judgo of election, chosen form the purpose at the annual lown meeting, who preside at, and net us judges and inspectors of the election, (the Clerk of tho Township ullieiuting as Clerk of the election.) " To take an account of. and east op the votes Riven in each ( Township)for candidates, make a fist of the same, which tint they shall sign, certify, seal up, direct, a -d transmit to the Clerk of the county who shall attend at the Court House of the ^county on the Saturday next after the day of ' oledion, for the purport of receiving the same, which list shall be. delivered to him before Jive o clock inthe afternoon Of said day, which said Clerk shall proceed, in a public manor,, to make one general list of all the candidates voted for as aforesaid, logs her with the number of voles received fir each of Ihtm. and s'lall transmit the same, at the. expense of the State, to the. Govern or or person administering the Government, with in seven days thereafter, having first caused a duplicate thereof In be. filled in his’office, together »it4 the lists from the said townships." The Governni is dir-rted " If the certified lists of votes given for Re presentative* in Congress »hntl not be ‘received f-om the Clerks of any of the Count its of the State by him within seven days after the rime pr»se*ibed by law for casting up the same \e. by the Clerks as aforesaid, forthwith to send ex press to the Clerk >f the County or Counties from which such c r'ified lists have not been received, agd tn procure tht same at the expense of the Stale." The Governor I* nlso directed “ Within five days after receiving the said lists, to' lay the same before a privy Cnunrif, to be by him summoned for that purpose, and, a fter casting up the whole number of mots from the several Counties, for each Candidate, the said Governor and privy Council shall determine the six persons who have the greatest number of rotes from the whole State, for Representatives in Congress of the Unite / States from this Stale," and forthwith commission them, 4rc- The nlmve is substantially, th<* wh do law npp'icu- Me to the case, and so fur as it rnlnra*to the present question, given verbatim from the Statute Bo k. Now, for the fid*. >»!• election wns held on tho 9th nnd IOth of October, 1888. On the 13th (b ing ihn Stituiduy next nfier the election) the County Clerks were to receive the returns. By the 15th (five days after the election) it wus known through mi tlio State, that five of tho D*mocra ic Candi Into* Imd been elected by an nvoruge majority of in-nv than one hundred votes. The County Clerks h.d therefore five days, nfier the result wns known, for cmisulta'i ai, beforo trails, milting their lots to the Governor. The Cumberland County return wns not made up by the Clerk until the 17tli, two days after the gen eral result wns known. This Clerk suppi'essed ihn vote of the township of Millville, which gave the Democratic candidates a majority of 100 votes. The Governor himself arrived uI the Capitol in Trenton, on the20th October, tho day on which all the County lists were to bo in, bringing with him the Middlesex returns which were put into his hand- ms he passed through Now Brunswick from his resi dence at Newark to Trenton. It wns known nt New Brunswick on the lOlh that the Democratic majority in Millville of 10(1 had been exptingedhytiiuCuinb t laud County Cl rk.FlTHlAN. The result ol th- general poll exhibiting u majority (orfive Democratic cuudidntes whs known ut the same place on the 15ili. 'I ho Midllescx return was withheld up tothe m-uningof the 2Uilt,although dated on the 13<h, mid then, as if by Hrr,u,g- ment, entrusted to the Governor himself, us he pussed through New Brunswick. This Middlesex return should Irivo mcluded seven Townships, five of which give decided Democratic majorities. The County Clerk—BootuBM.r -turned but six, suppressing t o return from South Am'-oy, whirh tnve the Democratic ticket 252 n» ijnrity.— Thus 358 votes were subtracted from tiro Domocr .tin gnajorityby these County Clerks. But mark the sequel. Although on the face of the Cumberland nnd .Middlesex returns, tho votes in .Millville and in Jjuuih Amboy did not appear, the G ivernnr never went an Express (ns directed by tho law of his State) to the respective Clerks of those counties So procure the sumo, th * law allowing sufficient time to receive them before root nissiouiug the mem bers elect, b it lie n i l his Privy Council having met «m tUc24lh «fO tu'-asr, fur tlio purpose of'* c .sting op tho whole number of votes from tint several comities fur each candid tie," an I “ to determine . q the six persons wins had tho greatest number of votus from the whole Stute for Representatives,” declared (after a report of Federal Councillors made onn week siibspqum tly, which time they took to c m*id"r the matter in apolitical aspect) tlm Feilit- rtl candidates duly elected according to |nw. This too they did, although Mr. Morris, a De mocratic member of the council, submitted n reso lution, lo neenrdanee with tho obllg-tiinns Imposed by tho law, to send Expresses to thu Clarks nfihose counties, for the omitted returns.
