Tbe Electoral Commission, In an
nounclng their decision of the Louisi
ana oontest, take particular care to
do It In terms Indicating what they
will do In the Oregon case. These
two proposition*—the first of which
was laid down In tbe Identical words
in the Florida decision—settle the
question:
Ist “It Is not competent to go be
hind the certificate of the Governor
so far as it i s founded upon the action
of the returning board."
2d “It is not essential to show who
wfe ineligible on the day of the elec
tion, so long as he was eligible on
the day when he cast his vote In the
Electoral College.”
The first of these propositions was
adopted with an artful ingenuity
precisely the same In purpose as that
of the hunter who fired so as to hit
his game it it was a deer, but to miss
it if it was a calf. It discriminates so
nicely as to prevent going behind the
certificates of the Governors of any
of the States challenged by Demo
crats, but to go behind the certificate
of the Governor of Oregon challeng
ed by the Republicans. The certifl
cates of the so-called Governors of
Florida, Louisiana and South Caroli
na were “founded upon the action of
the returning boards” of their
States, and are therefore Bacred
from investigation, though every
body knows that the people of
those States voted for Tlltlbn. On
the other hand, the certificate
which the Governor of Oregon gave
to Cronin was not "founded upon
the action of the returning board”
or upon the returns made to the
Secretary of the State, but upon the
ineligibility of Watts, one of the
Hayes Electors. Tbe fact that the
Commission announced this dis
crimination in the Florida case, as
well as that of Louisiana, strongly
suggests that It had a purpose in
view from the first—a purpose to
bring about a particular result—and
that It worked and framed its action
steadily in view of that result.
The second proposition of the Com
mission, by which Watts’ vote will
be counted, is that an Elector, in
eligible at tbe time of his election,
may make himself eligible before he
casts his vote. Watts, of Oregon, re
signed his postmastersbip after hie
election; resigned also his trust as an
Elector, and was chosen to fill the
“vacancy” by the other two Hayes
Electors. The* language of the
Constitution of the United Btates
is that no person "shall be
appointed an Elector” who holds
an office of profit or trust
under the United States. To carry
out this construction in tne
every day transactions of life, when a
tnan "appoints” another an agent to
do an act for him, the “appointment”
is not made when the agent Is se
lected and empowered, but when he
does the act I Before he does the act
he Ims not been “appointed.” That
may be law, but it is very fine spun
to a common sense view. But the
Supremo court of Rhode Island, com
posed wholly of Republicans, has
within the last month decided that It
is not law. It decided that Corliss,
Republican Elector of that State, was
ineligible because he held a Federal
offiee on the* day of the elec
tion, and that he could not
cure his ineligibility by re
signing the office before easting his
Electoral vote. The Supreme Court
of the United States is the highest
judicial tribunal, and its decision
may overrule all others. But iu this
case the purpose of making its con
struction to fitacertain case—making
it to accomplish a certain end—ls so
apparent that the people of the coun
try will be apt to have most respect
for the ruling of an inferior tribunal
not governed by such considerations.
Is it not about the right time for
the Atlanta Constitution again to
twit the Columbus Times about itß
being the “only Democratic paper In
the South” that opposed the passage
of the Electoral Commission bill?
Stephen A. Douglas, one of the de
feated Democratic candidates for the
Presidency in 1860, held Lincoln’s
hat while Lincoln delivered his inau
gural address. It would hardly be
appropriate, however, for Sam Til
den to hold Hayes' hat while he de
livers his inaugural address, aftor
being boosted Into the Wbito House
by Madison Wells and Joo Bradley.
Lincoln would have scoruod to take
the Presidency by the means which
Hayes approves.— N. Y. Sun.
Aug Ist a Chronicle ■ The State is of
fered two opportunities to get rid of her
elephant—the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad. One company offers to lease
for twenty years at a rental ranging from
$5,000 per month to between SB,OOO and
$9,000 per month. The other company
agrees to pay the State $900,000 for the
property, and, in addition, to turn over
to the State bonds of the supplemental
issue, the validity of which are in dis
pute, to the amount of $500,000, We
hope the Legislature will dispose of the
property in some way before adjourn
ment.
It is understood that the engineers
appointed to examine the stability of
the foundation of the Washington
Monument, in Washington, have dis
covered that the soil is not firm
enough to bear the weight of the ad
dition to the shaft, and that they will
recommend the tearing down of the
present neglected structure aßd its
re-erection at the intersection of
Massachusetts avenue and Four
teenth street, the highest and one of
the finest localities in the city.
BICHT TO RVBN !
The game of eight against seven
has resulted as such games usually
do. Tbe Commission proved faith
less to Its trust. It refused to make
tbe Investigation which It was ap
pointed to make, and refused It from
the first to the last motion by the
partisan vote of eight to seven. It is
a subterfuge to say that it refused to
go behind the Governor's certificates
(except Gov. Grover’s) because the
constitution does oct contemplate
such a course. Had it been acting as
a court of final jurisdiction, this plea
might have availed, but all its action
bad to go to the two houses of Con
gress for ratification, and If Congress
should err In either ratifying or
overruling any action of the Commis
sion, the act appointing It provided
that the ease might be taken to the
Supreme Court of tbe United States,
where the judges could very properly
have construed tbe constitution ns
bearing upon tho case. But as its
action was not intended to have this
effect, It was constituted as an aid to
Congress in ascertaining facts and
promoting justice. This duty it has
failed to perform, choosing rather,
by partisan rulings and partisan
votes, to close the door to Congres
sional investigation and establish
the triumph of the frauds whoso
known perpetration caused the crea
tion of the Commission.
Hereafter tho people of the country
will be Incredulous to any assertions
of tho impartiality and non-partisan
character of the Supreme Court.
That body has greatly lowered itself
in the estimation of all men who
love justice and fair dealing, by the
course of its Justices who were on
this Commission. They did not in a
single vote rise superior to the bitter
partisau Congressmen who were
chosed to represent their respective
parties.
It is evident that the Democrats
have been cheated, and that tbe trust
which they reposed in the Commis
sion has been betrayed. What
course they will now pursue we can
not tell, nor have we any advice to
offer. We copy an article on this
subject from the New York San, a
paper which opposed the Commission
from the start.
Xbe situation of those Democrats In the
House ol Representatives who voted lor
the Electoral Commission has become one
of painful embarrassment.
ihs Bible commends tho man who
ewoaretti to his own hurt and cnangeth
not; and every Instinct of honor demands
that a contract once entered Into should
be lullllled as scrupulously as It It results
advantageously.
But how if it be an Immoral contract?
The popular answer would be that the
parties should have discovered that before
they entered into it.
We have no doubt that the Representa
tives who voted for the Electoral bill vio
lated—unwillingly—their oaih of office;
that having sworn to support the Consti
tution, they voted in favor of an infraction
of the Constitution. But littleeredit from
tiie Republicans will they will get—or have
they any rtgnt to expect -any tor conscien
tiousness. if they set up that plea now in
justification utf a refusal on their part to
carry out to the letter, and In fu 1, to the
end, the terniß or the act. Such are the
deplorable consequences of once cultiug
loose from the Constitution.
One thing, however, the House of Rep
resentatives, even under this unconstitu
tional bill, has still the right to do, and
we adjudge it to be the solemn and imper
ative duty of the House, which should not
be omitted: It has tho right to adopt a
resolution that Rutherford B. Hayes has
not been elected President of the United
Males, and that the President of the sen
ate ought not to declare him elected.
This would leave the title to the office
open to be contested before the Courts.
The only trouble about tiiat is, thut we
have not any longer a Supremo Court of
the United States. The fury of an honest
and indignant popular opinion, however,
rising, as it assuredly will, like a whirl
wind and a storm, may safely bo trusted
to drive the present nominal Judges from
their places upon the bench, substituting
a Judioiury for that political body.
The Chicago Times elegantly remarks
that “Sucked In is the legend written on
every Democrat ie brow from Maine to
California.” We may have been “suck
ed in” on Florida, but we will whip the
fihgt yet with either Louisiana or Ore-,
gon. —Augusta Chron.
The “suck" proves to be a maelstrom,
from whose resistless whirl nothing es
capes that once comes within its power
Corn Sugar.— lt seems that the
manufacture of sugar out of ordi
nary corn is an industry that needs
no encouragement to enable it to be
oome a source of great national
wealth. It needs simply the removal
of a tax-the tax on alcohol. The
Chicago TYibune has been shown a
epeolment of raw sugar manufac
tured near that city from corn. It is
wnite, and very sweet. To complete
its manufacture into pure, granu
lated sugar, alcohol must be used to
remove the foreign matter contained
in the crude product. A bushel of
corn yields thirty pounds of raw
sugar, and this, when purified by
alcohol, gives twenty-seven pounds
of good sugar, marketable at four
cents a iiound. In other words
brings SI,OB. Our Internal revenue
system prohibits this development
of the market for the farmer’s corn,
because, unlike that of more en
lightend nations, it taxes alcohol
destined for use in manufactures as
heavily as that which is to be ex
ported.
Lincoln Jail Broken.— lnformation
wus received in this city Yesterday
afternoon that a party or masked
men had. on Sunday night, brokeu
into tho Lincoln jail, at Linoolnton,
and released a white man named
Hied, who had been imprisoned on
the charge of killing a negro man in
that county. The keys were not de
manded of the jailor. The men
broke the door down with a sledge
hammer, aud thus gained admission
to tho jail. No clue has yet been
obtained as to who the men are.
The man liied is still at large.—Au
gusta Const.
Commissioners’ Court.— The quar
terly session of the Court of County
Commissioners was held this week,
last Monday and Tuesday. Consid
erable business was transacted, and
a good many people were In attend
ance on the body. We understand
that the Court this year will set aside
a contingent fund of the county rev
enues to be used for bridge purposes
and other neoessary county expenses,
to be meted out on cash transactions
and at low figures. A new and good
departure.— Russell Register.
The Macon Telegraph consoles itself
with the reflection that it took Mr. Evart*
three hours and a half to convince the
Commission that it could not go behind
the certificates in the Louisiana case. Our
conviction is that the Commission would
have reached the same conclusion Just
! three hours and a half sooner if Evarts
I bad not said a word.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
roRKMUDINtIN OP TRK REMULT.
fckmam’s SPEECH, AC.
From our Uegultr Corri-.poan.at.)
Washington, Feb, 14.
Can it be possible that any one
cares to bear anything from Wash
ington that does not relate to the
Presidential question? But what Is
there to write? Certainly nothing
very encouraging to those who hoped
that the first year of the second ecu
lury would “ring out the old and
ring in the new."
The telegraph may flash an agree
able surprise before this reaches you.
Ex-Senator Mat Carpenter seems to
be confident of winning Louisiana
for Tilden; but very few Democrats
believe there is any better fate for t he
country than a continuation of Zach
Chandler and Oliver P. Morton. One
of the Democratic counsel, whose
reputation Is national, told your cor
respondent that he had no faith in
the honesty of the umpire, Judge
Bradley; and that he had so poor an
opiuion of his character as a Judge
and a man, that he was embarrassed
in pleading before him—and this was
before his decision in the Florida
case. As for the Republicans, they
are serenely happy. Their pent-up
politic exultatiou uwuits only the
climax of Louisiana.
Well, is pitiful; a nation of 40,000,-
000 bound and led by such men as
have bound and led her for the last
eight years by a supreme effott arose
against and overthrew her oppress
ors; overthrew them in the teeth of
the army illegally employed to stifle
her voice; in the teeth of u most mon.
strous and corrupt civil service, Ille
gally employed to thwart her protest;
In spite of the people’s revenue turned
awry in bribes and hush money, to
compass corrupt ends; in the face of
the attrocious slanders of the New
York Times and the old wi3e fable*
of Morton and Blaine. And now this
sublime appeal is to be negatived by
a technicality, and a. fraud sanction
ed in a high place 1 Is it not enough
to make men cry out "a
pox on universal suffrage?”
What is the ballot worth if
its judgment can be set aside by the
institutions it has established? Is
there an honest man in all the coun
try, not a fool, that does not know
that Mr. Tilden was elected? Is
thero a well-informed man that does
not know that his presidency, with
all that it implies, was and is a
national necessity? Some option
ists have been congratulating them
selves and the country that this at
least is the end of Grant and Grant
ism; but the end of tho “isniV is not
yet. The supreme bench has been
packed by him with weak, character
less, cowardly partisans, and there
will be no end to Grantism until a
benignant providence, or an iudig
nant people, removes them hence..
There are signs of change at the
White House. The Frosident bus
ceased to receive visitors in the fore
noon, and devotes a few hours each
day to the arrangement of his pa
pers, etc., preparatory to leaving. It
has been reported that he would be
come President of the proposed in
teroceanic Ship Canal Company, of
the isthmus of Darien, but is now
denied that there is any foundation
for the report. It Is still his inten
tion to make an extensive European
tour, sailing from the United States
early in the summer. This Congress
has been remarkable for seusations,
but yesterday we were treated to one
of the first magnitude. Mr. Purman,
a Republican me'mber from Florida,
rose to speak upon the report of the
Florida Committee. Up to that time
no interest whatever had been taken
in the debate, the other speakers
having addressed, for the most part,
vacant seats; but, when it became
evident that Mr. Purman favored the
report of the majority, declaring the
Tilden Electors duly elected, the
Democratic speakers gathered
around him and frequently interrupt
ed his speech with applause. He de
nounced the action of the returning
board and went into the whole sub
ject of the election in Florida, show
ing conclusively that it wus fair and
peaceful, saying: “It seemed the pe
culiar privileges of the Republicans
to win under all these advantageous
circumstances; but it is a fact, sir,
which I cannot stand upon this floor
and deny, and which every man,
woman and child in the State knows,
that Florida was lost by the Repub
lican party in the late election, and
that the Democratic Governor and the
Tilden electors were truly elected, I
make this declaration now under the
most solemn sense of publio duty,
and from an irresistible feeling of
obligation to the people of my State,
who have a right to expect, that how
ever partisan their Representative
may be in his political faith, he
should at least, on questions of pub
lic fact, beau honest man. I cauuot
return to my State and look my con
stituent, in the face if standiug upon
this floor, and in the presence of the
whole American people, anxious and
eutitled to know the whole truth con
cerning this dangerous Presidential
issue, I should shrink from the re
sponsibility of doing justice to my
State and defendiug her honest
political victory againet the willful
perversion of a bold, dishonest, un
scrupulous, State canvassing board.”

Prisiulul Fight Urtwrrn Iwo Wsmrn
at a Country Dance.
ONE OF THEM MUItDFJRS THE OTHER BT
CUTTING llKit THROAT FROM EAB TO
EAR.
We arc In the line of duty, brought
to record the particulars of a deed
that cauuot but thrill with horror
all who read the lull. The details
were brought to this city bv a gen
tleman from Pickens county, in the
northern aud mountainous portions
of the Stale. Tho staitllug tragedy
of which we write occurred in that
county, about eight miles from
the town of Jasper on Fiiday night
last. The affair occuteu at one of the
country balls, common in thut re
giou, and at which the neighbors
around had gathered for a pleasant
evening. Daueiug was being par
ticipated in very generally by those
present aud all went merry aud har
moufniisly for awhile. But among
the guests were two spirited women,
who Horn the finale lo whieb they
conducted the festivities, we presume
were Dot the best of friends aud ad
mirers. One of ttiese was a Mrs.
Ouwurt. daughter of William Fowler.
She was about twenty-six years of
age, aud is said to huve been a
woman of more than ordinary
charms of person and manners.
3he lias been divorced some while
from her husband.
The other was Mrs. Suthurd,
dauglier of J. Ilambrlok. She was
present at the dance with her bus
uand, a man of evident social pro
clivities. Mrs. Suthard is about
eighteen years of uge, and was only
married last Spring.
Both these ladies seemed in good
spirits, aud the dance wus passing
off very eojoyably, but iu an uu
t hough ted moment Mrs. Cowart ac
cepted I he tender of Mr. Suthard to be
her partner iu the dance that was
then proceeded with. The two went
upon the floor and took their places.
About this time Mrs. Suthard began
to give evidence that she did not
consent to such appropriation of the
attentions of her lord aud master,
and she approached Mrs. Cowart and
demanded a cessation of the business.
Mis. Cowart however, either mistook
the seriousness of the demand or con
cluded to put tiie wife upon the rag
ged edge of spite and jeulous anger.
She refused to yield the company or
Mr. Suthard, for the dance and he
seems to have been idiot enough,
or heartless enough to remain upon
the floor and evince a spirit iu keep
ing withihe determination of his
partner. Thereupon Mrs. Suthard
became enraged and in a moment
the infuriated women clenched each
other by the hair aud after a strug
gle fell to tbe floor fighting like en
raged tigresses. The astounded
company stood for a spell, not know
ing what to say or do, but soon par
lies separated the battling females.
This being done all parties supposed
the disgraceful combat would end
there, but not so, for upon some per
son assisting Mrs. Cowart from her
prostrate condition Mis. Suthard
again bounced upon her enemy, this
time with an open knife that she
had seized or had concealed, aud be
fore any one could interfere to stop
the blow, she had
SERVERED THE JUOULA RVEIN
in Mrs. Cowart’s neck and cut her
t roat from ear to ear. The blood
gushed from the horrible gash and a
cry of horror was uttered by the star
tled and pauio-striken crowd. The
unfortunate woman sank to the floor
and almost immediately expired.
We do not know that she realized
her situation before death ensued.
At last accounts Mrs. Suthard had
uot been placed under arrest.
The deed has startled with horror
the eutire community and wilt take
its place in our criminal annals as
one of the grossest of murders.
