1877. and Wnmn, for the Republicans had an admitted maority in that 8tate of about one thousand. We have claimed, anU still claim, that the Constitution and the law com ma ad that only two votes from Oregon be counted for Ha yes, and there is not in the entire history of jurisprudence an authoritative decision to whkh appeal can be made showing that three Hayes Klectors were lawfully chosen in Oregon. But it will I folly now to contend against a verdict which is certain to be against the Constitution and the law, though, in this case, in accordance with the in tention of the voters. The infamous eight that refused to look behind the returns in Florida and Louisiana will look behind the returns in Oregon, and give the vote of the State, not according to the certificate, but according to the votes of the people.

The Commission will be con fronted by the law, by their own records, by the Constitution, but in vain. The Democrats may add to the infamy of the infamous eight, but they can not gain a vote by fighting over Oregon. The country has witnessed tho fullness of the outrage. The eight-to-seven con trivance for sanctioning usurpation for srivinu sturendous fraud a certificate of gol character; for counting into the Presidency a man who has not been elected for forcing a party once more into power over violated cathn, a broken Constitution, an-1 by trampling under foot the popular will has, practically, wrought out its infamous verdict. Tho Electoral Comniiwi'in in the cnje of the Electoral vote of I-oiu-uana d-cidcd, by the chronic vote of ci'ht to seven, that the Constitution of the lniU-l Slate, which they were smoru to oU-y, should not even be read in thfir presence in comparison with the farts to which they were sworn to apply it.

Eight Commissioners that had taken a solemn oath to ascertain who hail -ceivcl the Electoral votes of certain Stato, "agreeably to the Constitution and the laws," refused to listen to any evidence which would enable th'-ni so to as crtam in accordance with thir oaths. The mettled purpose of the octagonal perjurer, surname! a Commission, being to coont in Hayes and heeler, oaths or no oaths. Constitution or no Constitution, facts or no facts, law or no law, was, to tho humiliation of the nation, and the everlasting disgrace of the infamous eight, made plainly manifest. The Constitution pleaded to be heard the tacts beegvd to be seen the plsin letter of the Electoral Rill it'lf, creating the Commission, asked to be considered and in vain. The usurpation which IVrnocratic stupidity marie possible is practically completed.

But there is a hereafter in politics. The Iemocrats in Congress, for the sake of pace and to please capital pusillanimotisly, as we thought a victory being won, invited a Republican Commisajon to decide who should have it. The outrage perpetrated by the Commission would not have leen tolerated by th country ii perpetrated by the President of the Senate, an-1 its perpetration by the President of the Senate was the only hope of Hayes outside of some trirk, like this Commisrton. But the tnioplaced rnnhdence of the lemo-crats in Congress dues not excuse tho perjurers on the Commission, nor tho party at whfo bidding their oaths were violated. Tho lying Eight are of little consequence, but the party whowe political pressure bade the iniquity will be punished.

I-t us call some of tho agents of the Republican party as witnesses against themselves. Let Mr. George F. Ho be called. Mr.

But there is Braduky, the most industrious member of the Commission. Instead of hunting for law and facts, he was hunting for an excuse. Let him be called. Mr. Bradley: Did you not, acting under your solemn oath, in tho case of Florida, declare that vou could not refuse to hear testi mony as to the eligibility of an Elector? Is the Constitution of the United States one thing in Florida and another thing, a few days later, in Louisiana? Is your oath one thing this week and an other tiling next week? Did you only be- k'in to study tho Constitution after the case of Florida was decided? Of the Eight perjurers on that Commission are you not the inont palpably pvrjured?

A I1K0 There came a froet, a nipping froat, just as his greatness was a ripening. Saint Martin is the person whose greatness. was thus cruelly nipped in the bud. It had this greatness of his, the right qualities of the fruit anciently known as the medlar, which, "Iioalind" casually id no sKner ritns than rotten. It was our Sait William Saint Martix pronounced Sbm-Martano whose ripening glory was thus blighted and blasted until it has become a very apple of Solom.

Saikt Mabtii was, and in, and v. ill be a transitory character not quite so transitory as the Itinerant Israelite or Peregrinating Hebrew of storv, but, nevertheless, quite transitory in his nature. In his walking up and jlnwn the earth and going to and fro in it he had witnessed with nwx-ulative eye the grutesqucriee of the Carnival in those genial climes where such affairs are spon taneous. Iast year he chanced in Cin cinnati at the time when in those genial climes it is customary to observe this extravagant farewell to the flesh-pots for a season, and, the fever having somehow spread to this uncongenial latitude, Saiht Martin's vagabond observations came into profitable play. He knew.

what few others did, something about running a Marili-iraa lie De cani famous at once. He bwnmo Rex, or whatever it is calied, and it js suspected that in his royal capacity he occupied himself chiefly, like the Monarch in the ancient poem, "Counting out his money." Then, the foolery over, he subsided until the Light Guard took that promenade over the dusty road to the Centennial, when he came from under apnin in the capacity of leader (and treasurer) in that famous march to the C. The Light Guard came back, but St. Martin did not neither did the treasury. It waa an expensive mode of escorting a distinguished gentleman out of the State, but, upon the whole, it was perhaps worth the cost.

Now latterly he turns up in the great metropolis, propoa- ng to have a stupendous Carnival there. to eclipee the world, and, as a mere formal preliminary, to gather in the necessary contributions. It waa a very pretty thing as it stood but just here came in that cruel frost. It may, in fact, be said that there was a combination of two frosts to nip him. First, there was the natural meteorological froet which the eather Bureau unkindly assigns to latitude forty-two, while at this same season it exempt latitude thirty-one.

This necessitated a postponement on account of the inclemency of tho weather, and, aa it would never do to hold high carnival in solemn mid-Lent, it waa unavoidable that the New Yorkers should make their grand farewell to fieah jnat when it should be proper to welcome the forbidden viand back again. And now before those forty-eix day could have passed by, there comes the second, the cruder froet. A itftute lift it ugly bead out of the obscurity, prohibiting the appearance of any person "painted, discolored, masked or disguised" in any public street, highway, road, common or in closure, under the pains and penalties of vagrancy. Think of Sait Ma am a committed as a vagrant I What a confusion that would be of the different grades of a calling WTLL TEX CZAft 110HT1 Since the breaking up of the Conference and the withdrawal of the Embassadors of the great Powers from Constantinople the center of Interest In Europe has been transferred in great measure from Constantinople to St Petersburg. The first question men now ask of one another Is not what the Sultan will do lor from the attitude assumed by the Porte at the cloeeH of the Conference there can now be no retreat The aIl-abeoTbjag point now is, will Russia The" Cm himself is known to be personally a man of the most pacific character, and he is still autocrat of all the Buasias with powers theoretically as great as those wielded by Nicholas, his lather.

But 'in the present conjuncture and under the present cir-camstancea the Czar can not aay," In the words of Louts Qcatokxi, L'eial eVi not, in the same sense as his more imperious father did fronv, the beginning to 'the end of lus Ion In aa enormous Empire like Russia, with so great an army as she possesses, there are many causes which limit even an antocracy. A witty Frenchman once said that Russia was a despotism, tempered by assassination and alluding to this very arbitrary, personal rule, the Russian liberal, Pvsch-bjih, wrote the terrible threat: "The knife hath an edge, and the scarf hath a fold." Tho Czar must be perfectly well aware that, if after mobilizing his army, if after his Moscow, if after assembling an srmy of 200,000 at Kischeneff, near the Turkish frontier, he should finally yield and retire before the Turkish counter-preparations, his life would not be safe even for a week. All Russia knows that these preparations have not been made with the view of exercising a merely diplomatic pressure, but with a direct object of war. A host of nurses from nunneries, lint and hospital stores upon an enormous scale, are not sent to a large army assembled merely for a parade, and nearly every Russian in the Empire knows that these things have been done. The Russians are slow to move, but when they do move from- the grooves of their normal state of stagnation their momentum is great, and once already from a somewhat similar cause Alexander has felt its tremendous peril.

Tho Russians, like the English, are affected by that desire for territorial acquisition called, metaphorically and not inappropriately, earth-hunger, and the single spot on earth they crave most is the beautiful City of Constantinople enthroned like a Queen upon the shores of the Boe-phorue. When Nicuolas began the Crimean War ho did not trust to his own Imperial will alone. He inflamed to the utmost this longing passion of his people, anl when, in 1S5T, under his son and successor, the present Emperor, the Russians saw that they had not only failed to realize their favorite dream, but also found that they had been deprived of a strip of territory in Bessarabia, a storm of fury rose hich sfyook the throne. ing the recent disasters tho reins of authority had been somewhat relaxed, and discontent, the natural child of national misfortune, pervaded the whole Empire. The people said that the autocracy, upon which they had been taught to rely for tho assertion of national grandeur and pre-eminence, had been shown to be of no avail in the struggle.

The heavy taxation to which they had been subjected and the cruel claims of conscription had not not saved Russia from invasion, the fall of one of her strangest: fortresses, and humiliation at home and abroad. In St. Petersburg and nearly all the great cities placards secretly prepared were potted upon the walls libeling even the Czar himself, and calling upon him to descend with the whole house of RoMAN-orr from the throne. The socialistic and nihilist societies redoubled their agitation, and at last the outbreak of a revolution seemed imminent, when the Czar managed to turn the current of public opinion into a new channel, and, by the emancipation of the Serfs, not only to allay the excite ment, but to array class upon class, and thereby divert their hostility from himself. Even then, however, his crown would, not have been secure had not the whole armv remained faithful to him.

Compare now with then. Ifthe Czar retreats now the same causes will produce tho same discontent, but it will be tenfold intensified. The same infuriated sense of national humiliation will be felt in all classes. The people, moreover, will say tJiat, "In 1S56 we were defeated by a coalition between England and France, aided by the virtual hostility of Austria. They wero Christian countries, and not our hereditary enemies, as the Turks are.

Now, our Ctar and cir army have been beaten by theTurks, without having dared to strike a single blow." In this sentiment evefy class in the Empire will participate. The ruling classes hate the Turk from political motives, the peasantry from religious prejudices and the men who pretend to refinement from what they call humanitarianism. This common bond of hatred is welded into a closer consistency by the national earth-hunger and the desire to seize upon Constantinople, which has grown stronger year by year ever since the days of Peter the Great Pan-Slavism, moreover, will not bear its defeat calmly, and against the author of its defeat will only too readily ally itself with all the pernicious forces of socialism, adherents of which are how to be found nearly everywhere in the Empire. Against these the Czar will be able to find no new emancipation to save him. The army, too, from the General to the private soldier, will be enraged.

The martial prestige will have been rudely destroyed, for it will have quailed before the Turk whom it affects to despise. Under such circumstances, and li the Czar does not fight, a revolution is almost certain to ensue. The country is anxious to end the present oppressive armed neutrality by open war, and Alxxajdeb himself knows all this full well Hence, among other reasons, we are convinced that the Czar is now only temporising, and ere long he will fight Wixniio over those terrible figures relative to circulation, published in the Ek-Qcuxa last Saturday, the sad editor of the Commercial says: The labor ot-prepartos the statements upon which, the ague have been made op most have been considerable, aad Involves the employment of spies and the hse of bribes." This is a compliment to our industry, but not to our intelligence. If we bad cared only to misrepresent our tender contemporary we would have saved the expense of spies and bribes and lied about his business as be has lied' about ours. We again call attention to the fact that we deal in figures.

Let somebody upset them. Tans talk la New York of gtvtna: a pabuo dinner ts Governor Wroxs after his release front eastody by the House, era testimonial to the pluck and endoraaos he has displayed during his perseeu-Ooat by thai boaj.ldiapcU Journal. The honors to the. noble old hero should not stop should have a nice lore ign mission. It may not be trieasant iinrn, 1 for him to reside in Louisiana, and it would be nothing more than just to send him as Minister to the semi-barbarous Court of Russia.

Thb unhappy editor of the Commercial, who clings tenaciously to the exploded legend that his newspaper is a journal of general circulation, attempted in a feeble way yesterday to break the force of the stunning exhibit made by the Enquibxh of Saturday last He says "There la a certain smartness In the selection by the Knqdibxr of this time to make a showing of lu trmnaient sales. There has not been a period in the history of the country whan the Democrats were as eager newspaper reader! as recenUy. Under these rirenmatancea the circulation of the En-ojciaKaia much larger than usual." We plead guilty to smartness. We are troubled in that way. It is an awful fact that Democrats are eager newspaper readers now.

Some people may suspect that in. these exciting times a Republican can be found occasionally groping around for a newspaper. One might naturally conclude that the same causes which would increase the transient sales of the En quirer would also stimulate the trade of an Independent newspaper like the Com mercial. The fact is, Democrats have quit reading the Commercial. A great many Republicans have also dropped oft And that's why we are able to print the figures showing that our sales on the railway trains out of Cincinnati are greater than that of any Cincinnati newspaper.

Again we hear "In addition, the proprietors of that paper pursue a system of giving away paers, and of taking back unsold copies, and of hiring agents to make up the reports that they want." The books of the News Company do not deal in "give-away newspapers." They show actual cash sale The same system prevails in the Enquirer office that ob tains in the Commercial office in dealing with agents and newsboys. We accept this pamgraph (as quoted) as an admis sion that the Enqcirkr circulates extensively. If we have hired agents to falsify LTewHis. perhaps some of them can be luunu against u. nce uioie, 'The information relating to the Gfmmerciai that they profen to give is selected from that which they have obtained with a view to making com parisons unfHVorable for us.

In some cases the figures are In others largely inaccurate, and the inaccuracies are systematic." We have expressly stated that we have only instituted comparisons where we have been able to obtain correct figures touching the circulation of the Commercial. Agents who handle both papers know whether we have given a fair exhibit The Commercial has persistently and systematically lied about the business of its neighbors, and now insists that its readers shall discredit our statements. We are dealing in facts, honestly and above board. We have a larger fcerva fide circulation than the Commercial, and we are proud of it. We have worked for it and have earned it We have furnished the proof, and will furnish more from time to time.

Our ad vice to the Commercial is, "Pull down that sign. The circulation of the daily Commercial, we may remark in passing, exceeds that of the Enquirer decidedly, even in West Virginia and Ken turkT. CbmmercuiL That's cheap twaddle. Let us see your statistics. We append figures when we discuss this great question.

The poet Grav's remark, "Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be often receives practical application that to outsiders is ludicrous, however painful to some of the immediate participants. We have two cases before us of recent occurrence. A few days ago at Wilmington, Delaware, a party of ladies raised money and the necessary articles, and carried them to a house where was a corpse needing burial, the relatives too poor to furnish the wherewith. The ladies gave their contributions to the distressed family and left. Directly after leaving the house on of the ladies discovered that one of her gloves was missing, and, supposing that she had dropped it in the house, returned to get it, when, lo and behold! she found the corpse sitting up in the bed counting tho money which had been left for her interment, and making merry with the others over that "funeral." The other occurred at Watertown, N.

the other evening. A young gentleman of that city called on a beautiful and accomplished lady acquaintance and spent two very agreeable hours. About 10 o'clock, the old folks having retired, he concluded it time also to leave his charmer. The young lady accompanied him to the door, bado him good night and then passed upstairs to her chamber. Some minutes later she had occasion to visit the dining-room, when, on entering, horror of horrors! she was utterly confounded to see the young gentleman she had so recently bidden good-night sitting in one corner with the servant-girl on his lap.

She gets less pay at the other place, but she has more privileges. According to the New York Herald, this is about the way the New York Republicans regard the great victory "Business men of Republican proelivltfe could soared repress a little eaultaUon that Mr. Bates Waa, after all, to be inaugurated but to the eye of aa actual observer there was visible a certain under-current of stifled distrust as to the justice of their cause, which found expression In the remark thai It was no doubt best so, but that a strictly partisan division of the Commission was some-thins to be sincerely regretted. It is evident, too, waen one comes down to a quiet talk with inteili-nt Bepubucana, who have no official relations to bias them, that the justice of Mr. Hat as claim to Louisiana is pretty universally doubted.

Indeed, the most superficial observer can not fail to notice that the seat of triumph has been bluntMl to lay members of the winning party by derays and duubta, while the edce of the disappointment, so far as business men of Democratic antecedents are concerned, has been dulled by the consideration that the election was fairly won, but has been juggled out of their hands by corrap? Returning In most well-regulated States bigamy is punished as a crime. But in Oakland, the other day, a fellow who married four wives, the first in New Orleans and the fourth in some California town, and who neglected, on taking his second, to put sway according to the forms of law the first was captured, and by a commission of lunacy adjudged insane, lie was committed to an asylum, and there is subject to epileptic attacks, and is very violent occasionally. The local papers describe the much-married individual as a regular matrimonial maniac It is to be hoped that in his confinement the gentleman's penchant for getting wives and having fits tuay be cored. A ootmi of mea were sentenced to be hong ai Newark, New Jersey, last Thursday, for tho murder of a policeman. The evi dence) against them was purely circamstan-iiai.

One man poisoned himself and the other was duly Both died pro- teitmjj innocence, and now- the mysterious woman whose husband killed the policeman has turned up with an anonymous letter to the Herald. This is an old trick with the Herald, and should be discountenanced. A newspaper that takes advantage of every occasion of this sort to harrow up. the feelings of the public should be crushed. Thb last decided stand against the action of the Bradley Commission was made by the St Louis rirae.

It sent forth this thrilling appeal to the House last Saturday morning. We may remark that it failed to reach Washington in time to do good: The House has the power, and we want the members to know that the people expect them to employ it to the very last extremity. The Demo crat wbo holds back is both a traitor and an assassin a traitor to his party and an assassin of the liberties of his fellow-men. The men who elected Samuel J. Tildes are ready, willing and able to inaugurate him.

Let him but give the xix nal let the people's brance of Congress initiate the contest, and Washington will overflow with a host that will upheld free Uovernment or fall iu its defense." Asd now the great Tribunal game seems like unto a game of cribbage. There is something apt and. suggestive in the name. In this diverting game the people have turned a seven spot but not holding any eight in their hand it availeth them nothing hatever, whereas on, or in, the other hand their adversaries, the freebooters, having the eight spot, do utilize this seven (without which they would hold nothing) to make up the sum of fifteen, thereby scoring two points, to wit: the Presidency and Vice-Presidency. The result will be, and herein lies the only consolation, that they will surely peg out.

The Evansville Courier has been contemplating the able speech made in the House by Mr. Hubd, of Ohio, in denunciation of the Florida dec'sion of the Commission. It says "Mr. IIi rd is one of the voungest members of the House, but, notwithstanding his bovish appearance, he never rises to skW thst he does not at onee command the attention of the oliie-st and wisest menilfrs of thm body.

These brilliant men are always doing funny things, and a man who has shown his good sense in every affair of life is the very person to call his first daughter We shall observe in this instance. Thb editor of the Commercial is not satisfied with Mr. Ephraim Holland's testimony. The names mentioned by Mr. Holland are not the names that Mr.

Halstead wants. The Cleveland Plain Denier speaks of Judges Miller, Strong and Bradlky as "perjured scoundrels." It strikes us that this is contempt tf Court. Tot Brooklyn Argus and Ihiion have formed a copartnership and Dsmas Barnes drops out of journalism. Thk venerable Hakkipt Beecher Stowe, who a winter resident of Florida, writes as follows to the New York Tribune: "A somewhat extensive acquaintance in Florida enables me lo iucert with confidence that in all the large and thriving counties immigrants are made welcome, and negroes are fairly treated as to work, wages and opportunities for education. There may be and doubtless are.

I bave known of one Northe-n settler Mime aitanee up St. John's River who, taking up a large tract of land, has been annoyed nnd terrified by squatters who found themselves dislodged by bis occupancy. Such a case might happen in any State in an ignorant neightiorhood at a distance from centers of improvement In the excitement of a Presidential election, when the low er passions of a community are played upon hy demagogues, there may have been, in some dark regions, acls of injustice and cruelty to negroes: but, as compared to the great body of the State, these are exceptional raises.

About all the monev circu lating in the Stale comes from Northern immigrants and visitors, and therefore it is the height of absurdity to suppose thai they would not be here both safe and Soldiers have less occasion to write than other of men, but there have been great writers aniamg them from the time iCmak down to our own day. General GEORGe B. McClellan, for example, might have won distinction by his pen as well as by his sword, and has done so in the line of military literature in which he has no superior living.

He was selected when a young man by the War Department of lhe t'nited States study the military operations of the Allied Armies in the Crimea, and the report which he made stamped him as the foremost military authority in America. Clear, concise, polished in style, it was a model of what such writing should be. General McClei.la is one of the few graduates of whom West Point has a right to be proud, for he has preserved its highest traditions of intellectual culture. A philologist and a scholar, he is a thoroughly well-read man aud a very able writer. The series of papers entitled "A Winter on the Nile," now being pub lished in Scnlmer't XonWy, are not only excellent contributions to our knowledge of travel, but are noticeable as literature.

They are admirable. A Harked 9fan. To the Editor of the Enouirer: Passing along Fourth street Friday I overheard a former Chief of Police boasting in a loud voice of what he was ready to do in case the Liemoerats wanted to fight. He was ready to do his share. Judging from his antecedents, he would rather be at the tail end than the fire of a genuine tight.

However, not knowing what may come, I then and there mentally selected and marked him as my own, in case a fight should come. It is alwtys well to have a mark and know your man. Sic Semper. A Little Testimonial. Cincinnati, February 18, 1377.
