Wh. Spoclil to th* N. V, SunJ J
Tho doteriuiuution of the Demo
cratic majority iu the House of liep*
resontatlv’cs to resist to the last ex
tremity,the oUim of ttieltePubUaaii
lealers, that
Senate alone opens and counts tho
electoral votes, cannot be doubted.
There may be some difference of
opinion among the Democrats as to
the status of the 2‘2d joint rule, but
there Is none ns to the right of the
House to have an equal voice with the
Senate in determining all disputed
questions which may arise duriug the
counting of the electoral votes in
joint convention.
As to the 2‘2d joint, rule, it is the
opinion of the best parliamentarians
in the House, and of the most distin
guished constitutional lawyers not
members of Congress, that it is cow
ns much a joint rule, binding the two
houses of Congress, as it has been at
anv time since its adoption.
But, independent of the twenty
second joint-rule, the Democrats will
maintain that the House of Repre
sentatives has the right to go behind
the action of a Returning Board and
tiie certiflcates of the Executive of a
State in a ease where it is manifest
that a flagrant wrong, a palpable
fraud, has been committed. The
Constitution, they will hold, com
mits the appointment of Presidential
Electors to• the people of the State
and not to a body of men who were
created by the Legislature of a State
for an entirely different purpose.
The Returning Board of Louisiana
has no authority under the Election
law of 1872. to do more than canvass
the votes for Electors, but as to all
State officers it is given judicial
powers. Therefore, if it throws out
the votes of five or six parishes and
thereby disfranchises ten thousand
citizens of the State, and virtually
appoints Presidential Electors itself,
its action will bo null and void. It
will bo maintained, moreover, that
the Constitution of Louisiana vests
all judicial power in the Judiciary,
and therefore the Legislature could
not vest another body, not a part of
the judicial system of the State, with
suoh powers.
Carl Kchurz Mentioned Once More.
St. Louis Special to Chicago Timas.]
Mr. Carl Scburz is more pronounced in
his views upon the acts of usurpation in
Bouth Carolina. He says: “I begin to
see here and there in the papers hints of
the grounds on which this interference of
the military with a State Legislature will
probably be defended. They will claim
that the Board of Canvassers had the right
to throw out the returns of the Counties
of Laurens and Edgefield on account of
frauds. Then they will claim that the
Supreme Court of the State exceeded its
authority and usurped the functions of
another body in first commanding the
Board of Canvassers to furnish certifi
cates of election to certain candidate!,
and afterward directing its Clerk to fur
nish these certificates. This may all be;
but, suppose it is, where is the paragraph
or section of the Constitution and law
which conferred on the military power
the right to interfere and say whether the
Supreme Court acted rightly or wrong ?
Under the Constitution and laws any
Judges who acts illegally and improperly
can be reached and punished in various
ways which are established : but where is
it provided that the armed power can put
itself In the place of constitutional au
thority and execute its will by the bayo
net ? In whatever way I look at this
latest procedure in South Carolina, I can
see in this interference by the military
power in the organization of the Legisla
ture only an act of usurpation and a trans
gression of the law. In a word, this mat
ter is really not different from the Louisi
ana affair in January, 1860, and the con
clusion of the honest and thinking citi
zens, with whom justice and law out
weighs party interests, can not be uncer
tain or conflicting respecting these pro
ceedings.”
It may not be generally known that
the political intimacy between Mr
Schurzand Governor Haves is now of
the closest character. There is good
grounds for stating that the German
statesman and the Republican candidate
for the Presidency have been in frequent
communication since the election, and
that Governor Hayes’ views and those of
Mr. Bchurzare in harmony. Indeed ever
since writing his letter accepting the
nomination last summer Governor Ilayes
has consulted Mr. Schurz on every step
taken, and has followed his advice. It is
understood furtbur that Mr. Schurz’s
present course and policy is iudo-sed by
Governor Hayes, and that both of them
are looking with the greatest distrust and
alarm upon the semi-despotic movement
of President Grant.
Fred Grant “Bull-nazes'’ a Keporttr.
[Chicago Times.]
On yesterday morning Mr. Sullivan,
city editor of the Journal, sent one of
his reporters, a young man named
Donovan, to military headquarters,
to make some inquiries in regard to
the state of affairs in the Indian
country. Gen. Drum received him
with that politeness which is charac
teristic of the man, and answered
such questions as he thought were
proper, but refused to eontihue the
conversation when the reporter
reached a point beyond which the
military man thought he had no busi
ness to go. Donovan went away and
soon afterward returned with a note
from Mr. Sullivan. At this interview,
Donovan, who is an impulsive young
Irishman, spoke in an offensive way
to Gen. Drum, who ordered him out
of theofflce. When the altercation
was at its height, Prince Fred hap
pened to step in, and, seeing that
Gen. Drum was angered with the
reporter, took the chastisement, if
any were neccessary, oft the hands
of his superior officer, who, though
somewhat on in years, is yet able to
take care of No. 1, and, without a
word, struck the young man a blow
across the face. A little “scrim
mage” followed, and Donovan pro
ceeded to the armory and swore out
a warrant for young Grant’s arrest on
a charge of assault with intent to do
a bodily injury. Fred was subse
quently arrested, and gave bonds
of S4OO for his appearance Friday.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
HOW HE GAVE HIB NEW YOBK FRIENDS
THE SLIP.
New York Sun, Not. 20.)
Over two hundred persons inquired
at the New York Hotel for Jefferson
Davis after the fact of his return
from Europe on Saturday last was
made known. The hotel clerks
knew nothing about bim except that
tiiey had rooms prepared for Mr.
Davis, wife and daughter, and they
had not occupied them. Thereupon
a story got afloat that Mr. Davis was
seriously ill in a private house. The
fact is, that as soon as the Adriatic
reached her wharf, his baggage
was obligingly checked without ex
amination by order of Gen. Nichols;
he entered a hack with his family,
and was driven to the Pennsylvania
railroad station, and there he pur
chased tickets for Memphis, telling
a friend at the time that he had a
business engagement in Vicksburg
which would compel him to be in
that city on the Ist of December.
Within an hour after his arrival in
port he was en route for the South
east.

This incomparable preparation for the Hair is

It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing

Richmond. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which lias removed tho dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
