LARGEST CIRCULATION
In Ike ('nnnllc* (• I Trading
at HotnUim.
TWO VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT.
Yesterday wp. published a tele
graphic report/pf a speech of Mr.
(Tiu r, of Indiana, in tho House of
Representatives; in which, while
bitterly bewailiOß the tnlstuke made
by the Democratic party In accept
ing the Electorftl Commission, he
contended that they were bound to
accept and abide by Its decision. To
day we eopy an editorial of the New
York Sun, in whioh it insists that
the Tribunal is an unconstitutional
one and its acta will have no validity
—that it ought to adjourn at once
and the Democratic party absolve it
self from all obligation to respect
its decisions.
Like Mr..Carr, wo opposed the ac
ceptance of the Commission, and
like him we think it would now be a
more manly course for the Demo
cratic party to abide the result.than
to break from the arbitration. We
could never go before the country
with so strong a case, or with so
much of its sympathy, as we had be
fore submitting the question to the
Commission. Whatever of wrong
may be committed in the decision of
the Presidential contest, the Repub
licans will now be able to shift mi*cb
of tha responsibility to 1 the shoulders
of that Tribunal. With its decision
against us, the presumption of law
would-be against us. The Demo
cratic Yartv had before it the
alternative of insisting on the
right of its branch of Congress
to reject the fraudulent votes of Flor
ida and Louisiana, and thus elect
Tilden and Hendricks, or of accept
ing an arbitration whose decision
they knew to be doubtful, and whose
composition hardly have been
partial to them. They chose the lat
ter alternative—chose it, wo think,
erroneously, but not treacherously or
corruptly as Mr. Carr suggests. We
have already alluded to tbo influ
ences which In our opinion had too
much to do in prompting the accept
ance of such an uncertainty when
another course seemed to promise
a certainty. Mr. Carr is a
representative of Indiana, and
he doubtless expresses the feelings
of Democrats of that State who con
template with much indignation the
almost certain defeat of their own
pure and unselflsh favorite, Gov.
Hendricks, and who would never
knowingly have entered into any
arrangement designed to bring about
a compromise by which he should
be defeated and Mr. Tilden elected;
for there can be no plainer proposi
tion than that if Tilden was elected,
so was Hendricks. But it is not cer
tain that, without the Commission,
Tilden could have been declared elect
ed in any other way tban by tho
separate action of the House,
and this would have thrown
the election of the Vice President into
the Senate. Had the Democrats of
the whole country exhibited the
same spiritas that of the Democrats
of Indiana and other Western States
—a determination to insist on the
election of both Tilden and Hen
dricks and to see to their inauguration
—the party would have been better
fortified to resist any proposition of
compromise or uncertainty. Lack
ing such unity and purpose, it was in
a state of distraction and irresolu
tion inviting a compromise or refer
ence to arbitration, and having once
accepted such an expedient, we can
only abide the issue, whether it gives
us only a portion of what we con
tended for or none at all.
There is some apprehension that
the amendment of the Senate, requir
ing the submission of the call to a
vote of the people, may defeat the
bill for calling a Constitutional Con
vention. A special from Atlanta to
the Savannah News says that “the
opponents of the convention are
positive that tha Hiilyer-Felton
amendment from the Senate will be
adopted by the House, and that they
will defeat the convention at the
ballot-box by a large majority. With
my present knowledge of their com
binations, plans and purposes, I fear
that they are right. If they succeed
iu the House they are sure of suc
cess at the polls through Radical
negroes and the independent party
schemes.”
Tub act constituting the Electo
ral Commission explicitly conferred
upon that tribunal all the powers
pertaining to the counting of the
Electoral vote possessed by Congress
or by either house. Both houses
have, jointly and severally, gone be
hind the certificates and thrown out
the votes of States. They did this as
late as 1873. The supporters of the
bill certainly had these precedents
in view when they cast their votes
for it. They contemplated the as
sumption by the tribunal of whatever
p'owers Congress had exercised, not a
virtual decision by the Tlibuual that
Congress had exceeded its powers in
going behind the certificates. If the
Tribunal could hot conscientiously
have pursued the course marked out
for it by the previous course of Con
gress, it ought to have declined ac
cepting the trust devolved on it.
Buchtj Hf.t.mbold, writes a Chicago
Tribune correspondent, is undoubted
ly slightly insaoe, but he is rational
enough in his talk, and is quite
harmless, every way. He has a great
mania for clothes, ordering S3OO
overcoats and other garments to
match at corresponding prices. In
spite of his insanity, however, Helm
bold is in a fair way to re-establish
his business and recover a portion of
the property, which, according to
his own calculation, will make him
worth at least $500,000.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
THE IIMiII COMMISSION,
PERSONEL OF THE LOUISIANA HETtiRNING
board.
Fijom mir RcguHr Contwpoßdrut.J
Washinoton, Feb, 9.
Tho Senate chamber and the hall
of tho House of Representatives are
not literally deserted; a quorum
of each house is usually on the floor,
and a sprinkling of listless listeners
are in the galleries, but it is easy to
soo that Interest centres elsewhere.
Tho old Senate chamber whore long
ago Webster, Clay, Randolph, and
Culhoun, thundered and prosed (it
must be admitted that they were
prosy at times) has had its semi-cir
eular walls awakened by eloquence
and argument in a cause as impor
tant in its immediate and ulterior ef
iedts as was ever discussed in words
or arms on this half of the globe.
There is is no lack of distinguished
audience; the only lack is space. No
one is permitted to enter unless he
has a ticket countersigned by tho
President of tho Commission, Justice
Clifford, and tbo wives of Senators
and members themselves, are not al
ways able to obtain admission,
for the Supreme Court room is small
and will accommodate but a limited
number. The greatest anxiety has
been to hear Mr. O’Conor, and his
great effort on Monday did not fall a
line below the expectations that had
been raised. Mr. Evarts was üble us
usual, and his argument was all tho
more remarkable for the poverty of
his case. Nothing could have been
more perfect than tho clearness and
cogency of the great argument of
Mr. Merrick. Its freedom from all
the verbiage and show of brilliancy
into which a smaller and even an
older man might have been tempted,
his perfect comprehension of the
momentous case, and his admirable
adaptation of it to the tribunal which
is to decide, was none the less re
markable because it was expected.
When the legal leviathan Judge
Black followed, saying that to add
anything would be but to “gild refined
gold,” ho uttered no empty oompli
ment, but tho conviction of all. Mr.
Merrick is the youngest of the dis
tinguished counsel on either side,
but it has been kuown by many that
he required only an occasion to
make national that reputation to
which his ability and learning enti
tle him.
Next to tho Suprome Court room
the Committee of the House having
in charge the investigation of the
Louisiana election frauds is the chief
centre of interest. The Committee
sit around a long table, tho witness
sits by tho stenographer. Hon. Da
vid Dudly Field propounds questions
with telling effect, and the obiti
nacy and silenco of tho witness are
frequently more significant than his
answers. When Casauave and Wells
of tho returning board testified I
could not help wishing that every
citizen of the United States could
have been present. There is some
thing iu the presence, tho air, and
manner of every witness that goes
far with the Judge and spectator in
assisting them to form an opinion iu
regard to the credibility of the evi
dence. If the American people could
but see these worthies, they would
getau insight into this Louisiana
business that they have never
had before. Casanave, the fat
mulatto undertaker, is a fool and a
tool. After trying in vain to get
something more from him, in rela
tion to the simplest matters of the
coffnt, than an “I don’t know,” and
"I don’t recollect,” Mr. Field said,
sotto voce, to one of the committee
near him: “ho doesn’t know any
thing; he has no intelligence.” Cas
anave, trying to say “contabulated
returns,” after many efforts and con
tractions of the brow, used the ex
pression, “contaminated returns.”
With the exception of Wells, all the
members of the board have evidently
been chosen for their plasticity.
Wells is the immediate, moving
Mephistophiles of the entire rascal
ity. He is a veteran rascal—healthy,
alert, imbued with devilish energy;
a man to whom dark and orooked
ways aro elemental and essential. In
appearance, conversation and action,
he is strikingly like that old political
Proteus, ex-Gov. Henry S. Foote, of
Mississippi.
It would seem idle to make predic
tions in relation to the decision of
the Commission. The deliberations
of the judges are strictly private, and
intrusion is guarded against with
scrupulous precaution. Washington
is full of audacious reporters, each
one of whom is aware that it would
not only boa feather but. an entire
ostrich in his journalistic cap to
bring his “nose for news” in com
munication with the key-hole of that
august chamber, but it would bo en
tirely futile to attempt it.

Tbk Atlanta correspondent of the Sa
vannah News writes that “the two days
debate in the House on the hill to give
State aid to the Marietta and North Geor
gia Railroad, which was unusually lively,
made clear the fact that the present
House of Representatives contains as
able, eloquent and ready debaters as char
acterized former sessions. Messrs. Phil
lips, of Cobb, Moses, of Muscogee, Tur
ner, of Brooks, Branch, of Greene, Ham
mond, of Thomas, Walsh, of Richmond,
Turnbull, of Banks, Price, of Lumpkin,
and Hood, of Randolph, advocated or
opposed the measure in speeches ol great
power, eloquence and ability."
The Jonesboro News says that the
county authorities ofj Henry county re
fusing to advertise in the county paper,
the proprietor took legal steps to force
them ‘o do their duty as the law requires,
andjwas sustained in his efforts.

DEATH OF A RETI) KNI\U TEXAS,
ALMOST IS SIGHT OP HOME.
Dear Times: An aged gentleman,
apparently seTenty years of age, a
former resident of Barbour county,
Ala., accompanied by his aged and
decrepid wife, left their comfortable
home near the plantation of Mrs.
Colby in Barbour county, about one
year ago, to seek their fortune in the
Lone Star El Dorado. They became
disgusted with their new home, and
about sis months since resolved to
return to ‘‘die among their friends.”
They accordingly resolved on coming
overland by wagon conveyance.
Sickness and bad weather retarded
their progress, and they only on Sat
urday had got as far as the residence
of Mr. Patrick Wheelan, about six
miles below this place, and within
twenty-four miles of their former
home, when they stopped at the
cabin of a hegro (almost immediate
ly in view of Mr. Wheelan’s resi
dence,) and asked for a drink
of water for the old gentle
man, who was at the time
sick. The water was furnished;
the old man reared himself in the
wagon, took a draught of the same,
and died immediately (supposed) of
dropsy. Mr. Wheelan, in the kind
ness of his good heart, had him de
cently interred at his own expense,
and kindly sent the afflicted relict to
her former home and friends.
They were in destitute circum
stances at the time of this misfor
tune, but we learn they were in fair
circumstances prior to their depart
ure from Barbour, and we learn that
the sorrowed widow had a predi
lection that some misfortune might
attend them, and retained 80 acres of
land in Barbour for a “raiuv day.”
This, together, with the skeleton of
two horses and a wagon, is all she
now posseses. Their name is “Scott.”
This is a warning to the great mass
of malcontents who should ever re
member to “let well enough alone,”
and cling only the closer to the deep
and dark night of imaginative ad
versity. Our minds are ever at mu
tiny with our common lots, and the
great disposition of mankind is to
rebel against a single misfortune.
Adam, in the great day of his crea
tion, was not an exception, and
though we have an Eden of our own,
there are in imagination, Edens to
excel in magnificence, grandeur and
loveliness anything we possess our
selves. Some- fertile imaginative
genius may argue that this roving
disposition is wisely begat within us,
insomuch as it has been the means
of our discovery of Continents, Em
pires, etc. True, Adam was both a
malcontent and an explorer; he quit
his home and found a world all beau
tiful, and left it clothed and en
shrouded in darkness and sin. But
we might add it was not—“ Texas.”
