thinks that the Postmaster-GeneraL'though
actuated by the best of motives, is going m
little too lar, and says the regulating of the

The sew California legislature is all
split up. From a pamphlet just issued by
the Secretary of State, in which a complete
list of the members is given, the recapitula
tion shows that there are seven different
kinds of polities represented in the Beaste
aad nine in the House. The Senate con
sisU of forty members, divided as follows :
Republican, 22; Democrats, 5; Working
men, 8 ; Workingmen and New Constitu
tion, t; Workingmen, New Constitution
tut RannhHrsn 1 New Constitution and
Democrats. 2: Workingmen, New Constitu
tion and Democrat. 1. In the House there
there are eighty members, divided as fol
lows: Bepublicans, 37; Democrats, 14;
Workingmen, 17; New Constitution and
Republicans, 2; New Constitution and
Workinemen. 3: New Constitution and
Democrats, 2; Workingmen and Republi
cans, 3; New Constitution, 1 ; Union, 1.
The Republicans have a clear majority in
the Senate, and lack but four in the House,
which number they will doubtless be able
to pick up from among thoae of Republi
can predilections elected on fusion tickets.
When the Legislature gets to work there
will likely be but three parties to consider,
the Bepublicans, Democrats and Work
ingmen, and it is easy to see that the Be
poblicass will hold the control.

A Washington special thus figures op the
probable status of the Senate in 1881. If
,Nw York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana elect Republican Senators, and
General Mahone, of Virginia, goes with
c the Republican or Grant party, as he calls
it, the Senate will be Republican by two
majority. If he remains on the fence, it
will be a tie, and the Vice President's vote
will decide all political and other import

Don't forget that most of the Democratic

defend the Garcelon infamy. Let Repub

An enterprising add ingenious person ia
Boston has just written a book to prove
that St. Paul really lived long before the
Christian era; that he never heard of the
Apost Peter, and that the Virgin Mary
was 92 years old at the time of her mar
riage with Joseph. The author considers
this "the most radical attack ever made oa
Christianity ;" and so, perhaps, it is. Asd
a very radical attack on Mary, too, which
is the meanest part of it
HOW IT WAS DONE.
Everybody remembers the great Chicago
Savings Bank failure when Spencer, the
President of the bank absconded, taking
with him the funds of depoeitrs to the
sum of hundreds ol tnousanus. spencer
hat now been found, somewhere in Europe,
has been interviewed by a newspaper re
porter, and gives the public view of the
inside working of the concern, showing
how it was done. The Tribune gives an
account of how Spencer obtained control of
the stock, from which we copy as follows:
... . . . ..
Spencer's first purchase ot Jhe mock was
prob.bly a tona Jlde payment of money
which he drew out of the Cook County Na
tlonal Bank. After he had secured aplaoe
in the management ot the Htate Savings In-
Oltntlon, however, and liaa oegun to Day in
ail thn stock he could set in order to secure
complete control of the. Institution, the pro
oeas seems, from mi own aamuBioun w
have been something like the following:
"Jones," we will say, was the owner of 11.000
worth of stock, for which he had paid 1100 In
cash and given his note for I 00 ; Hpencer was
willing to give "Joups" 00 per oent lor the
latter's stock, or H.OOG: thereupon Bpencer
gave 'Jones" the latur'rf note for 1900 and
deposit-d hUown In place of It. and also
took 13,100 of the money in Dana: iuciuukiur
to the' depositor;, paid the sum over to
'Jones," and deposited anotner oi nis ( speu
cere) notes for the amount of money tnus
Withdrawn. Bpencer scarcely aisguisea mm
plan of operations In his statement "of the
.,.ir Mi,un,. Indeed, he saya : "The
Htockbolders knew all the time tnat I was
borrowing the money to buy out their Insti
tution." It Is only thle theory that can
ratmnallv account lor the enormous sums
represented by apencerM nou. If Bpenoer's
statements bo truo, ll is apparent that a large
part of lhelostht Ml upon me aepoBiwr"
went Into the pockets of the 3lociho!ders
hnmldoutto Spencer. haying been taken
from the vaults by the Utter to make'the payment-,
and that the original stockholders re
ceived about W.0W of the depositors' money
for every 1100 of their own which tbey put
Into the concern. It is evidently with regard
to these transactions that Spencer declares
himself able and willing. If te Indictment
against him be removed, to point out to de
nmiinni "how aurt where they may find
property, If not money, to reimburse them
selves for their loaiea." This tatement is
inntlv based npon the assumption tha
the selling stockholders knew whereSpenoer
was getting the money to pay lor me sioc
he purchased from them.

cal questions unless it is actually necessary.
The courts are, of course, bound to decide
n actual case brought before them. If
that decision involves a decision of the
constitutionality of law of Congress, they
are bound to declare their . opinion, and
that opinion is binding upon the inferior
courts of the United butes, and has great
weight, indeed, with both the legislative
and executive departments, because most
of the actions of executive and most jaws
oome ultimately to have their validity
decided before the courts, and, if the
courts declare them invalid, the acts ot
Congress
BECOME TBACnCAIXT void;
but it was never meant that the Supreme
Court of the United States should be the
ai annan-vialncr naramonnt authority
in the United States, and, as is well known,
Congress sometimes nas insuftcu, aou we
RnxntivB has sometimes insisted, upon a
policy that was thocght to be unconstitu
tional by the Supreme Court, but which
has afterwards been decided by that Court,
through changes which happen in it, to
be constitutional. The respect of the peo
ple for the judiciary, the feeling that their
rights will be determined with as much
impartiality as the law of humanity will
permit by a Court, should be preserved,
t not only by Judges but by keeping tne
Court so far as is possible out oi partisan
Btriifs ana out u pwuw
If the case of Chittenden vs. Butler is a
fictitious case, and the court find it out,
they will not decide it. If it is a real case,
hey must decide it when it is reached. The
court having once decided by a small ma
jority that the Legal-Tender acts were un
constitutional, and by a small majority
soon thereafter that they were unconstitu

ADD NO VXBY GREAT WklOHT
to the question if now the court adhered to
:. c-r. ,i;a;n a errant nolitical aaee-
tion cannot be permanently settled by an

for the court to say that congress had the
right under extraordinary exigencies to is

"What dtt you mean by that?"
"I meaa that the Maine case now and
tne lAniiiaaa ihaI 1R73 are exact nar-
allela. Yon will remember that I was the

"Why, he issued his proclamation recog

"Do you mean to leave the inference,
then, that the fusion legislature in Maine

"I mean to leave no inference other than
that which caa be drawn from the state

THE COUNCIL'S EXCUSE.
Boston. Dec 26. A special to the Herald
from Augusta says : The following is an
abstract from the report oi me commutce
on the Maine election returns, made in the
Council:
"Your committee, in eubmitting tleir
report, deem it necessary to state specific
ally certain fasts connected with the ictums
from many of the towns, cities and planta
tions which have materially affected the re
sult of canvassing the votes returned.
There are many'returns which, owing to
fatal defects, were not counted; but we
specify only those which have affected the
result. . ,
"Article 4, part first section t, oi tne
constitation regulates the manner of elect
ing senators and representatives to the leg
islature, and also the process of transmit
ting to the Governor and Council the evi
dence by which thev are to determine who
has been elected. This section provides, that
in the case of towns and plantations muni
cipal officers, in'open'town and plantation
meeting, at the close of the election day,
sort, count and declare the votes cast, and
f . i;. nt all the nenona Voted for.
and after the Berne of each person thus
voted for shall write the votes received
by him. This list shall be recorded in the

recorded lkt,thns attested, is to be depos
ited in the omee oi tne oecreiary ox owm

The first requirement is that the returns

that the Capitol Guards was ordered out,
but then was so truth ia the report. Tbea
it was said that the Montgomery Gpards,
of Portland, would be here oa the afternoon
trais, bat they did not put in an appear-1
the Governor and Conscil tor sassy veers
to reject such retarns, sad we have not
deemed it sate to deviate rrom wis long
est ahliahed interpretation of the law, so
fullv recokaixed by our predecessors, asd ia
making our tabulation have omitted all
tuch returns.
"It will be perceived that these refeetioas
affect the election of tewral Republicans.
Ia the county of Washicgtoa the casdidate
for the Senate setms to have beea voted for
ia some of the towas of his county by the
name of 'John T. Wallace, Jr.' and is
others by the name of 'Jobs Wallace,' but
we have tabulated the votes as thrown for
two different mea, as we have no legal
knowledge that the same person is meant.
Two eeta ot returns were sent in to the
Secretary of State from the town of Fair
field, each of which contradict the other,
and itfwas impossible, from the contradic
tory character of the returns, to determine
the result of the election in that town. We
have, therefore, rejected the returns from
tnat tnam in the tabulation. Tha rviec-
tioar affects the election of one representa
tive.
"Accompanying and attached to the Re-
Eublican returns from the town of Skow
egan, there was a statement signed by
the selectmen that a certain aumber
of .ballots were protested to as being illegal
under section 29, chapter 4, of the
revised statues. One of the ballots objected
to was attached to the returns of the se-
lectment, in their certificate of how many
such ballots were thrown, and in this cer
tificate thev inform the Governor and
Council that they make the return sub
ject to the legality or illegality oi tnat
kind of a ballot. The ballot was in tne
form of an ordinary sheet of paper, folded
to make two leaves. On one of the pages half
the candidates' names are p'inted and on
the next page the balance ot the names o'
the candidates appear. We are fully sat
fied that that kind of a ballot is clearly in
violation of the letter and spirit of the
fnftftminfn.namMi ntatnte and we have ac
cordingly rejected a number of these bal
lots in making our tabulations.
"A protest was filed against counting the
returns from the town of Cherryfield, on
the ground that the officers who attested
the returns were not legal officers. The
affidavits presented with the protest estab
lishes the fact that not one legal selectman
presided at the making-out of the returns
and the receiving of the votes. One of the
selectmen was a foreigner, and could not
legally hold the office of selectman.
"The Hnnerior Court have held that a
board of town of town officers consisting
of lees than three is not a legal board.
Acting on this opinion, we have rejected
the returns irom tne town oi tvuerrjuriu.
This affects the election of one Republic
can. .
"Several nroteatfl and affidavits to Sup
port them were referred to ua, asking the
rejection of the returns on account of the
legal defects in calling the town meeting ;
also on account of improper check lists.
The copy of the record presented to us
from the town of Skowhean shows that for
the election in that town only one copy of
the warrant was posted, and the record does
not show that one was posted in the town.
The objection to counting the vote of the
city of Aubnrn was made because the
a-an.1.
Goveraor Garceloa reached'the city this
aftersooB. Only two of the Councillors 4
were here, No business" was transacted.
Govesor Garceloa was seen to-day and
said he knew nothing further of the
Baagor affair than what bad appealed in
the newspapers ; that for judicial reasons,
he had ordered French verbally to remove
the arms aad ammuaitioa. He thought
the whole matter waa one of great discredit
to the city.
At a special meeting of the city govern
ment it was voted to increase the police
force to 200 mea, so that the city marsh aL

tack of vituperation and slander upon the
executive' department, not only without
parallel but without cause. Be thai as it
may, it is the dutv of every good citizen to
use his best endeavors to allay the public

able, aad resort to .tuch measures as will
allay civil strife aad at the same time se
cure the ends of justice. I ou intimate tnai
it is in my- power to restore peace, tranquil

inhabitants. Nothing would give me greater
pleasure than an authoritative opinion

which you allude that lrge a number

This condition of affairs i no fault

Notwithstanding the adverse criticism of

to Washington that he will not recede from
his position, and that if nece-aary he will
not only order out the State milita,but call
for United 8tates troops to enforce his revo
lutionary program. This shows that the
Democratic party is eeveral degrees more

The hezard of euch an atrocious crime

Democratic party that it is entirely lllogi
