POLLING VOTES AND, THEM. COUNTING The New Orleans Republican, one of the most, entertaining of all exchan ept: gave us yesterday an admirably Iiumorous article entitled The Returning Board and the Revolving Rifle." After congratulating itself upon tlie" prospect of proper nominations, it asks whether the Cou shatta Democracy will allow any. Republican candidates in the country to go through the canvass alive." The Republican does not tell us what extent of ountry it intends to cover by the general term country nor does it attempt i to explain how a dead candidate can be expected to rgo through the canvass. It asks whether he, the Republican candidate, "can carry to the polls the votes to which he ia really entitled." We think not. We think it would be much more regular and altogether more satisfactory for each individual voter to carry to the polls his own vote.

After the votes have been thus carried to the polls and deposited there, the next thing, at least according to the old rule, is to count thenu We want to know who, was elected, not who ought to have been elected in the view of the Republican and the Returning Board. The Republican confounds the cause with the effect. There are no doubt some turbulent and unruly men in Louisiana, as there are in every other State in the Union men who will prevent a fair election if they can by a resort to violence but the great mass of. the people will lend them no countenance if there is the least hope of a fair count! This is the weakness of the Republican's position, but its article is good for all that, and, for the amusement of bur readers, we reprint the speech which it anticipates may be made by the nominee of its party: "i Gentlemen of the Republican Convention I have learned with deep dismay that you have determined to confer noon me the honor of leading our colanms into the approaching fight. You will bear me witness, gentlemen, that so far having sought.

I have sedulously avoided thra honor. I have deemed that this cup should have passed to more ambitious Yet, centlemen, I can not avoid accepting, this signal evidence of your conlidence, or this unanimous proof that I can be better spared than any other man among you. I am, re signed to the apparent lot. which you have assigned me. I will march upon the forlorn, hope against a stalled ballot box and the reserved fire of the Winchester rifle.

Possibly, gentlemen, I may survive both. You are aware that all life assurance will be raided for the ensuing six months upon all Republicans who will take the extra life risk of a nomination. You know the additional watchfulness and loss of rest. with the added cost of putting myself and friends upon a war footing. All this mnst be done.

As my personal presence in this canvass would but exasperate the CouBhatta killers, you appreciate the propriety of a strict seclusion upon my part. If I anpear in pnblio I can not expect permission to speak. Any assembly of our party would dr.w the fire of our antagonists. The ascertained fact of my election would anticipate the Returning Board by the verdict of the revolving rifle. You will see, gentlemen, from this reasoning, that the best and indeed only chance for my success will be to withdraw from the district, and conceal myself in some distant spot, and in some peaceful com nmnitv.

1 shall anneal to the magnanim ity of my enemies that they will not have me killed until my election may render it necessary. In accepting your nomination, gentlemen, I shall communicate with your Executive Committee the precise locality to wmcn i snail witnaraw, ana only osk. geutlemen, tbat you will telegraph me tbe If defeated, I may return home even under a Coushatta safe con duct and if elected. I may keep out of thewayumil I shall have learned the fate cf the Returning Board. This is very pretty, but it is.

not probable. If the nominee in ques tion should give candid expression to ius real sentiments he might say something like this Gentlemen of the Republican Convention You; do me proud. This nomination more than realizes my ambitious dreams, when years ago I left my native State in the far North to enter upon this Eldgrado of the unscrupulous political adventurers. 'After I shall have been elected I will reward you all in proportion to the zeal you have severally, displayed in my behalf, and according to your respec tive ability to make yourselves useful to me in the future. I do not know how.

the voters will turn out. There are a good many disappointed aspirants among you who will likely prove lukewarm in the approaching eampaign, and as you well know, a large number of African suffragans: so disgusted with our failure to keep our promises in the past that we can no longer rely upon their support. nut, inese are ail immaterial con siderations. Wherever I poll an uu doubted majority, there shall be a fair count. Wherever I am beaten, I rely upon you to prove intimida i .3 uon.

DR. THOMPSON'S SERMOX YESTERDAT. At morning service yesterday Dr. Thompson based, his sermon on the text, Honor All Men," and built thereupon an edifice of reasoning, attractive because of its soundness and finish. He demonstrated the applicability of the 1 command, not to the personality of one man, or of one generation of men, but to the manhood of all apart from qualities.

Honor for Nero was not commanded in hisj individual character, but as the rep resentative of authority. So the nature of man, stamped with certain qualities, which are the image and shadows of the Divine, must be honored. Though the image often is seen as in a broken mirror confused and distorted, it is the image still, and God shines through it and is seen there. v. Dr.

Thompson explained lucidly the apparently insurmountable difficulty of honoring anything about the man in whom dishonor and degradation found No man, he said, has ever sunk bo low in this world that every mark of the Divine was blotted out from his nature. In the darkest heart, there is alwaysjsome ray of light yet in the soul most stained, some sacred spot that has no stain yet in the very worst one tender Key mat may uo toucuea and made harmoniously responsive to the best. He spoke forcibly of the power and attributes of man, as it finds its manifes tation in tha assumption of it by God; who, in man's shape, was our deliverer from sin and death, and feelingly alluded to the dispositiou on man's part to despise the weak in. our day; the unfortnnate men. whose lives, as we call it, have been failures." This action, he said, found no justification in God's bearing towards man.

He honors the very lowest He has made in His image never despises, never scorns." We have here presented a hastily sketched outline of Dr. Thompson's aer son, but 'feebly illustrating the several points which were so forcibly produced and 'eloquently maintained by him. Military Disappointments. THE P1C K1C OF TOE MITCHEL RIFLES POSTPONED. Despite the lowering clouds and the unpromising aspect of the day, the Mitchel Rifles assembled at their armory yesterday, in accordance wkh published orders.

The members were in fall dress uniform, and made a very handsomo appearance. Repairing to Oakland Park in company with their guests, the gallant Royal Guards, the programme of the day was commenced with a dress parade and review and a drill by each company. The two corps were out in full force, and their various evolutions ou the ground were very creditably executed, and gave every reason to antici pate an interesting and exciting spectacle in the expected grand sham battle, which was announced as a special feature of the day's amusements. Every ar rangement had, neen made tor a day of unalloyed enjoyment. Everything indeed, pointed to a most successf ul with the exception of the drench ing rain, which began to pour down in torrents.

What mimic deeds of valor i what feats of military prowess might have been performed by the gallant con testants, must remain forever a matter of conjecture, for the, ram came down so fiercely that had the combatants meditated actual battle their operations would have been seriously embarrassed. Under the circumstances an armistice was concluded and the tournament was postponed to some more favorable occa sion. Before dispersing, the companies and their guests made a simultaneous and well concerted charge upon the commissary department which resulted in the entire and satisfactory demolition thereof. Alter this demonstration the members determined to postpone the pic nio to some future day, and returned to the city. The day for the pic nic will he an nounced through the papers' We are authorized to state that tickets issued for May 7th will be good for that occa sion, when the boys in greea hope to en tertain their guests under more auspi cious The Illinois Republican Convention will be held on the 20th inst.

ABSENCES OF PRESIDENTS FROM THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT. In the transmission to the New Orleans At sociated Press of the President's special message to Congress on the subject of his absence from the seat of Goveramenr, the fcubjoined paragraphs of the message and the accompanying memorandum were omitted Had the efforts of those recently in re bellion against the Government been suc ceiwtfnl driving tne late President of the United. States from Washington, it is manifest that be must have discharged his functions, both civil and military, elsewhere tii an in tne place nameu oy iaw as tne seat of Government. No act of Congress can limit, suspend or confine this constitutional duty.

I am not aware of the existence of act of Congress which assumes thus to limit or restrict the functions of the Executive, and were there snch acta I should nevertheless recognize the superior authority of the constitution, and should exercise the powers required thereby of the President. The net to which reference is made in the resolution of the House relates to tbe establishment the seat of Government and the pi ovkling of suitable buildings and the removal thereto of offices attached to the Government, etc. It was not understood at its Onto and by Gen. Washington, to confine the l'residert in the discharge of his duties rowers to actual presence at the seat of Government. On tbe soth of March, 1791, shortly after the iaftae of the act referred to.

Gen. Washington issued an executive proclamation, having reference to tbe subject of this very act, from Georgetown, a place remote from Philadelphia, which was then the seat of Government, where the act referred to di reeted that all offices attached to the seat of Government should for the time remain. Thnt none of bis successors have entertained the idea that their executive offices could be performed only at the seat of Gov ei unient, is eviaencea Dy nunareas upon hundreds of such acts, performed by my predecessors, in unbroken line, from Wash Ii Kton to Lincoln, a memorandum of the general nature and character of some of wht acts is suuniittec herewith, and no question has been raised as to the validity of tl ose acts, or to the right and propriety of the Exeoutive to exercise the powers of Lis fHce in any part of the United States. Washington, May 4..1876." It will be perceived that the message Is dntt at Wat hinglon, without the usual prefix of Executive Mansion." Acoom lanyiu8 the mmaae is a memorandum of alxM. nc.es of Presidents of the United States from the national capital during each of tht several administratfens, and of public and executive acts performed during the time of snch absences.

This memorandum contains the following information, and much more of the same general character, only the most important of the acts recited in the memorandum being selected for mention in this abstract President Washington as frequently absent from the capital. Ho appears to have been thus absent at least 181 days during his term. In March, 1791, the seat of Government being then at Philadelphia, he issued a proclamation, dated at Georgetown, in reference to running the boundary for the District of Columbia. He signed at Mount Vernon an official fetter to the Emperor of Morocco, and from tbe same plaee issued tie commission of Oliver Wolcott as Comptroller of the Treasury and the proclamation respecting ihe whisky insurrection in Pennsylvania also the proclamation of the treaty of 1793 with Spain and the executive Ol der of August 4, 1793, relative to the duties on distilled spirits, etc. When, at German town, he aimed sundry commissions, he proposed to have Mr.

Trujo officially pre senieu to mm at jnouni enioii as vujr Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Brain, and Mr. Yruio went there for that purpose, but the ceremony of presenta tion was prevented Dy an aociaent omission of the Minister to bring his credentials. President John Adams was absent from the can its! during his term of four years, on various occasions, three hundred and eighty five days. He discharged his official duties and performed the most solemn public acts at Quincy, Massachusetts, in the same manner as when at the seat of Government. Several of them are recited.

and it also appeared that on the 38th of Sep number, 1797, he forwarded to the Secretary of State a commission for a Justice of the Enpreme Court, signed in blank, at Quincy, vt ith instructions to fill in the name of John Marshall, if he would accept, ana not, that of Tin sh rod Waahinirton. President Jefferson was absent from the scat of Government, daring his two terms of office, 796 days, or more than one fourth of the whole official period. He signed and issued from Monticelio, among other tninga, teventy nve commissions. President Mmltnon was absent 637 da VS. President Monroe was absent 708 days, independent of the year 1824 and two months of 1825, for which period no data are found.

The latter transacted public business wherever be happened to be, and sometimes while traveling. President John Quincy Adams was absent, during his single term. 323 davs. and his Memoirs," Volume 8, page 75, speaks of his practice of leaving with his chief clerk blank papers signed ny him. to be used.

when necessary, for proclamations, remission of penalties, and commissions of Consuls. He speaks also of doing this same tiling in regard to patents and land grants. President Jackson was absent from the seat of Government 603 days. Among other important acts performed by him when away from Washington was his signing, at Boston, the famous order for the removal of deposits from State banks. The memorandum thia itnlnt rf am to President Jackson's refusal, in 183 to furnish tho Senate a conv of a curtain namr alleewl to have been read by him to his Cabinet, and mentions that, in January, RS7.

CPaU Mail Gazette, April 2o.l The United States tribunals have, hv a I retHwderance of authorities though CLiad eellor Kent is among the minority declared against tue general oougtion oi extradition, and not lODg after the recognition of independence, Jefferson emphatically rain llt a claim unsupported by special stipulation.

This doctrine was so firmly held that before tho emancipation ot tue southern slaves. the extradition clause of the American constitution niore binding, of course, between the several 8tates ot one Union than any international compact was set aside. Demands," Mr. Tana tells lis, "were some times made on a free State for surrender on a charge of larceny of a colored man who had fled from slavery tho charge bean? pertavs ofgsiealing ahorse with winch he lind made his escape, and the free St at as have refused the surrender when saihttied that the real object was to reduce the man to slavery. bucii being tne attittiae or tne united: States Government and of American auntl ment generally toward tho claims of for eign nations and even of con federated com iiiuiiitles, we have the greatest reason to tc astouibhed atthetoue taicen nv tho State Ie ai lment at M'ashington in the negotiations roKneeting the surrender of.

Winslow. th Boston forger. It is by our Government, and indeed it Is not denied by the American Government, that If Winslow's extradition be granted on the forgery charge ic win oe piacea on nis inai Derore tue American courts on another charge, not being one of those Included in the treaty of 1842, which regulates the reciprocal rights aud duties of the United Kingdom and the United States in. respect of the surrender of criminals. Tbe reason, of course, is ob vious.

It may be easy enough to establish such a prima facte case before an English magist: ate as would secure an order for an extradition, but it maybe a very different thing to secure a conviction before a tribu nu in tne mates, tuongn a minor nunovmenc may be comparatively clear of difficulties. instead, however, ot entering into negotiations for the amendment of existing treaties in this direction, tho Government of this country was satisfied with the passing of the extradition aot of 1870. in which was inserted a provisiou that a fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered to a foreign State unless provision Is made by the law of that State, or by ar rangement, that the fugitive criminal shall not. until he has been restored or had an op portunity of returning to her Majesty's doihinioiis. be detained or tried in that foreign State for any offense committed prior to his surrender other than the extradition crime proved by the facts on which the surrender is grounded." In accordance with the law thus laid down, eur Government now declines to assent to the demand of the United States for inslow's extradition, unless a promise be given that Winslow will not ba put upon his trial on any other charge 1 ban that of forgery.

And this promise T. Fish as firmly refuses to give. He takes his stand, he eays, upon the treaty of 1843, and will not ronsent to take oognizaneeof the act of 1870, which is a mer municipal law of tbe United Kingdom. This is, no doubt, correct in a certain sense, and it ought to have been taken into consideration when we endeavored to alter the law. that we were creating an anoma lous Btate of things by leaving the treaties nnaiterea.

tne American Government must remember that upon its own principles and in accordance with its own practice the right of. extradition, even when established by treaty, is subject to limitations flowing from general policy. There are many well known Fenians and Communists against whom a vrimu facie case of murder or attempted murder could be made out, yet tueir onenses come plainly witmn tne polit ical category, and as political criminals they would be regarded by the Washington Government if England or France were to afck for their surrender. It is not easy, therefore, for tbe United States to insist on the inexorable interpretation of the treaty or 1842: ana wnatever (Umeuity Air. isn nny find in reconciling the competing pretensions of the American Executive and the American judiciary, we trust his objections are merely Intended tWead up to a negotiation for the amendment of the a work that ought to have been taken in hand long ago.

Law of tho Umbrella. The San Francisco Atta has the following reference to a ease in which damages were elauned for injury done by a care 1 sfcly handled umbrella It was not supposed that the umbrella was taken notice of by the law, except to make the possession or one evidence of as decided some years ago hy a Massachusetts justice. It 1 reserved for a California lust lew to advance the umbrella to a high notch in that sonorous title known as the measure of damages. This was a Santa Olara county Juftice. recently.

The facts were, that two peoesrrions. one carrying an expanded nm br lla. collided ou a sidewalk, and tbe ferrule "of the umbrella punched tho other's' ei so severely that he nearly lost the sight or it. The man with the umbrella was moving to the left when the collision occurred. 1 l.e Injured partjr brought suit to reoover t2S9 89 damages.

The defense was a demurrer, i hat there was no cause of aotion that 1 was too remote; that It was, in fact, a mote in the plaintiff's eye. The demurrer as overruled. The defense then set up accident but the Justice laid down the law to be that the rule of keeping to the light was applicable toj pedestrianism as well as driving, and tLat a person carrying an umbrella bears to onother person not carrying one tbe Kane relation that a steamer to a soiling vessel tho man with the umbrella must seep out of the other's way.
