It ! a trite saving, of goneral belter, that
history repeals itself, and li onlr the
chronicle of recurring eTenU In the cycles of
time; and tbe truth or the adage, aa shown
by the experiences of the world and crys
talled In conTlctlon, has further Illustra
tion In our present complications. Novel
tons, they are not new to the generations.
There Is an exact parallel for our own con
dition In the misfortunes which befell the
most conspicuous and powerful of all the
republics which hare preceded us j and we
bare reason to abscrlbe praises to the
Throne which dispenses fate, that It Is still
possible for us to avoid the catastrophe the
precipitated upon Its people. We find our
stlits, thus earl In our career, arrived at
the first stage In the process of decadence,
which was reached by tho Roman republic
not until after It had enjoyed hundreds of
years of earthly eupremacr. And seeing
that when It had progressed to the point at
Which we now stand, a lingli miltaU teas
folloiccd ly anarchy, the "precursor of
tyranny," we cannot be too careful lest a
lata! misstep shall termlnste our destiny as
a free people, also, in an abyss of desolation
and ruin which shall swallow up the hopes
and happiness of posterity. Unless wo
apply ourselves to wisdom, and speedily
arrest the destroying hand of faction now
lifted against the Ufa of the nation, ob
livious of all human well-being, and
mindful only of the petty projects of
party, conceived in selfishness and aimed
at the attainment or unwarranted power,
we too may drop Into history a warning
to futuro governments of the people.
Shortly before the Roman people passed
under the yoke of Crxsar, there was a
consulsr election, at which Sclplo, Ilyp
iscus and Mllo were candidates. Having,
as Plutarch Informs us,rcsorted to "bribery,
corruption, violence, murder and otvll
War" to procuro votes, the result was a
contested election; and It was pro
posed In tho Senate to make Pompey,
who was regarded as the most pop
ular man In Rome, "protector of
election," or final returning officer, to' can
Tass and declare the result. At this Oato
the younger, an upright man, objected,
aying that "the laws should not derive
their security from Pompey, but that Pom
pey should owe his to the laws." This
defeated tho measure, and nothing further
being done, the office of Consul was sus
pended, because of the non-election of a
successor. Immediately, in the absence
of Its authority, the forum began to be
beselged by the armies of three aspi
rants to absolute power; and when Cato
saw this he seconded the appointment of
Pompey by the Senate, as solo Consul, re
marking that any government was prefer
able to anarchy, and that Pompey promised
fair for a constitutional administration.
Very soon after this Ctcsar usurped the
government, and the rest Is familiar knowl
edge. Now the parallel. Our campaign was
characterized by the ssme measures to
ensure success In a number of the States
of the Union. The result was the same
a disputed election, which the proper State
officers could not decldo to the satisfaction
of parties. The effort to establish a
"protector of the election," or a means to
determine It through the intervention of
persons and officers of the highest character
in the country, was opposed for the same
reasons sdvanced by Cato; but In our case
they were overruled unwisely we thought
then, and still think and a Commission
wu created to decide the Issue. The Com
mission proving by partial action that it
would turn out a protector of (As eUcthn,
in truth and In fact, those who were most
clamorous for It, we aro now told, propose
to delay further action, If possible.untU after
the appointed day for the Inauguration, and
thus defeat a choice of President and bring
on the condition of the Romans when
their mlstako was made, that of a country
without an executive chosen by the people.
What will then follow, if this plan shall
succeed, no man can tell. Farther than
that we cannot look; but we have only to
turn to the result In the parallel case,
where there was a greater display of can
dor and fairness than our people have
shown, to gather an Inkling of the;danger
which threatens us. And It docs seem as
If those who are attempting to force the
circumstances which promise this result,
do so with the Intent to administer the
Government or destroy It. Some of them
have declared that if their candidate Is
ultimately rejected there will never be
another Presidential election In the United
States; and the declaration Indicates, the
purpose to make It good, if within the
the power of evil to accomplish.
Can there be anything more appalling to
the good among men, than to see such a
Government as ours so menaced by the
hatred of faction I And what la more piti
able than to see a great party first stultify
its life record by voting to annul the action
of the States In a matter of which they
have exclusive control, by Federal power,
and then, when defeated In Its wishes by
tho patriotism of tho tribunal It sought to
use for that purpose, cover Itself with in
famy by violating Its faith In respect of the
decision t This aspect of our situation
presents a case without a parallel, and a
apeclacle of shame without relief, and un
approached In the annals of free govern
ment. One redeeming circumstance will, how
ever, go to our credit In history. The
party which most opposed the measure,
on grounds substantially the same as those
urged by Cato, after It was adopted,
pledged fealty to the issue, whatever It
should be, and that pledge will be faith
fully fulfilled.
TOE MAD DEMOCRATIC ritOTK.Tr.
"We want a compromise," cried the
Democracy last month with a bold menace
of hostilities, and tho Republican leaders
yellded and compiled with the demand.
The compromise was secured, and the first
finding under the electoral bill has been
made; It was in favor of the Republican
pirty. This has driven the Democracy
blind with rage. Their rage has forced
them to political inadncss,and that madness
Is rapidly hurrying them to political sui
cide. They agreed to accept tho decision
of the Commission In good faith as final
and conclusive. Dut they enter a bitter
protest against the very first finding. Nor
Is this all. They pounco upon tho three
Supremo Court Judges with a mallcloui
ferocity and hurl avalanche after avalancho
of slander, vituperation and abuse at the
ermine clement In the groat Tribunal.
Wo urged upon the Republican leaders
tic danger of drifting away from tho pro
scribed forms of tho Constitution and estab
lished precedents. Wo warned them re
peatedly that the Democracy would break
faith under any compromise plan that
might be adopted, and violently oddoso
any decision other than oao In favor of
their causo. Our prophecy has been ful
filled. Our predictions have been realized
In a manner which fills tho nation with
amazement, and demonstrates how danger
ous It Is to compromise with a desperate
and determined foe.
Tho Democracy mean mischief. At the
first finding In the Florida case they became
enraged. At the second they became mad.
When Louisiana Is declared for Hayes, as
It will bo In Justice and by law, they will
brcomo howling mad. And when Oregon,
their last hope, has been given to the Re
publican party, as Is the declared will of
her sovereign people It should be, they will
rave In tho agony of their wild distraction.
But it will aU be In vain.
The moral sentiment of the nation is
with the decision of the Tribunsl. The
people will abide by Its action. Whatever
the Commission decide the people will sus
tain, ir they declaro Tilden elocted,
Tildek will be peacefully Inaugurated,
amid the quiet submission or tho entlro
people. If Hates Is declared elected, the
Democracy must submit, whether they
will or no. Wo have passed the retreat
ing point. We must forward march at the
command of the majority of the Tribunal.
The Democracy may curse Judge Bradloy
and slander his good name if they will.
They may heap vituperation mountain
high on the Commission. They may
lacerate the Supreme Court with their
partlzan shafts of spleen. They may toy
with rampant sedition, and fondle bloody
usurpation. They may agonize In their
agony, and wrltho In;thelr Inevitable defeat,
but the fiat has gone forth. They must
submit to tho law they Incubated by
menance of hostility, and hatched by
appeals to tho patriotism of the nation.
If it be Tildkn, well and good. The
country will acquiesce. If It be Hates,
well and good. American patriot! will
acquiesce. The Democracy mult.
NOW roit LOUISIANA AND OHEUON.
Justice having been rendered in the case
of Florida, which was fairly and honestly
for Hayes, it now remains for the Republi
cans to establish their case In Louisiana.
This It will not be at all difficult to do, for for
tunately abundant material is at hand. The
mud machine which has been worked so
vigorously by Knott, Field and TrCKKn
haa not destroyed or even discredited the
great mass of facts which the Republican
counsel have In their possession, and will,
during the present week, submit to the
Electoral Commission.
The powers of the Returning Board can
not be called Into question ; the plea of in
eligible electors will avail nothing, as the
State law provided an abundant remedy
for any short coming, and the regularity
and the legality of the acts of Wells, As
dersox, and their associates, who have
been so shamefully bulldozed by David
Dudlet Field and Jons a. Tnostrsos,
will be easily and overwhelmingly estab
lished. The Republicans have as good a case as
could be asked for, and while we expect
the Democrats to contest every point with
absolute desperation, we have no doubt
whatever of the final result.
Then will come the Oregon question,
upon which no Democrat of common hon
esty can possibly expect, or even desire,
Mr. Tildkn's success. The fraud would
be too bold for even Tweed or Monais-

LEAD EI13.
A golden opportunity now dawns upon
Southern men. They have the destiny uf
their country In the hollow of their hands.
As they mold their policy In this crisis so
will their people prosper or linger In dis
tress. Practical patriotism and philosophi
cal statesmanship should now exert Itself
with all its vigor and force. The time has
come for action. Let the Southern lead
ers rise above partisanship. Let them cast
aside their aflllatlons with the riff-raff ele
ment which comprise their party in tho
North. Let them buckle on the armor of
moral courage, and dare to have a lasting
and benign peace which shall make their
unhappy country blossom as a rose.
The Northern Democrats havo evi
dently determined to lmpcdo the work
of the Commission with all the means
In their power. This proceeding will
open the way! for the Southern
Democracy out of their Red Sea of af
fliction, which they have suffered ever
since they became the allies of tho copper
head element. If they boldly and con
scientiously sustain the action of the ma
jority of the commission, they will lay a
foundation stono for tho future greatness of
the South. This golden opportunity 13
upon them. Will Lah Ait and Hill make
a break for freedom, Justice and the great
Inter ests of the South ?

GOYERNOIl STltAltNS, Or FLORIDA,
OovKimon StfAbks, of Florida, gavo
his testimony on Saturday In the straight
forward manner of an upright and conscien
tious man. He quietly exploded the theo
ries of Field, Knott & Co., regarding
telegrams sent to and from Florida by tho
Republicans, and he also stated upon oath
that
"frothing was said about money la any tele.
f;ram wbtca passed between himself and persons
a tbe North and b. also said that ho bad no
knowledge or any money baring been reoelrod
from th. riorth, either before or after the elec
tion." Hero Is a fresh Illustration Of the way in
which stories of Improper telegrams, of
the use of money, etc, have been manu
factured out of whole cloth by tho un
scrupulous Democracy to help their hope
less cause. Thero has been a world of
misrepresentation concerning Florida,
TnOSH 8E.-1E0A1I11IAN MA1DEN9.
It Is hardly right for the venerable Sena
tors to act as they did on Saturday towards
Elder Trumbull and Doacon Palmer, while
they were visiting that body. They had
heard of the quadroon ball; of the amor
ous touch of besuty's thirsty Up; of tho
frolic of Claudlne, Aspasla, Liu and other
Senegamblam maids of New Orleans: of
this and that and the other thing which
happened to tho visiting statesmen
and especially to the elder and deacou who
went to Louisiana to see an honest count.
And they smiled a broad and mischievous
smole, and merrily put admonitory fingers
to their several proboclses, and winked a
wunk suggestively from the several eyes,
wig-wagged their several tongues as
It were, and smiled again like It
might, at the venerable elder and dea
con, who so recently shuffled their
shaky shanks in a voluptuous waltz,
and chased the golden footed hours
through the wavy surges of the Boston,
amidst tbe dazzling light and glided tapes
try of the quadroon dances house where
the pink-eycdSenegamblan maidens helped
to while the happy hours away. Indeed
we should look rather with pity than re
proof upon this scene, on the principle that
we should always give the "old man
another chance."
MISCniKF BKEWLNO IN LOUISIANA.
Trustworthy information wsa received
here lsst night that the White Leaguers
held a large meeting on Saturday night, at
which time a warm discussion was had upon
the organization of Vigilance Committees.
It was finally determined to defer the pro
ject until after the Electoral Commission
had decided the vote of Louisiana, and If
tbe decision be in favor of Hayes to hold the
city In the custody of armed bands. We are
ablo to present this Information with entire
cofldence In Its truth, The White Leaguers
are brewing mischief. Thelivea of leading
Republicans are insecure in Louisiana.
Threats of assassination aro rife. Mob vio
lence is getting ready to strike a bloody
blow. The scenes which made the com
mune of Paris forever infamous, may be
re-enacted In New Orleans within the next
twenty days. The Nicholls organ boldly
announces a malevolenco which will have
have to be met, and as tt e White Leaguers
declare their obdurate determination to re
sist the national soldiery should they aid In
the erection of the legitimate (Packajid)
government. We are firmly persuaded
that the sooner the riotous faction which
foments with lncccssant rebellion receives
tho chastisement which it richly merits",
tho better It will be for Louisiana and for
American civilization.
TUB OHBGON OASB.
Judge Ciicucn, of New York, In speaking
of tbe Orsgon case, recently tald that, as he
understood the case, the Governor of Oregon
had given certificates to two Republican elec
tors and one Democratic elector, Crohin, he
had no right, according to the decisions of the
courts or this Btate to a certificate at all,
because of his having received the next
highest number of votes. But waiving
that, and granting the Governor's right
to give him a certificate, after the cer
tificates were glvon, the functions snd duties
of tbe Governor of Oregon ended.
It now remains for the Commission to la
quire what those three persons having the
certificates actually did. It appears that the
two Itepubllcana met to cast their electoral
votes, and, Cnoum being absent, they pro
ceeded to fill a vacancy, Gronlu, on'.the other
hand, met by himself, and, the Itepubllcana
being absent, he proceeded to fill two vacan
cies. "Now," said the Chief Justice, "there
cannot be any question as to which of these
two Electoral Colleges will have Its vote re.
cognised, or which ought to be recognized.
Had CaoHix remained with his two Ecpubll.
can colleagues, and Insisted upon casting his
vote for Tiloin, the case might hays been
more complicated; but he didn't remain, and
there Is where he slipped."

Mr. EDMUNDS. We cannot do that. The
law says that, after a decision Is reached by
the tribunal, the two Houses shall Immedi
ately convene to continue the couot. We can
not, in my opinion, even take a recess.
Mr. CAMERON. Mr. Fraeldent.I always
yield to the opinion of my friend the Senator
from Vermont, and 1 withdraw tha motion.
No business was transacted, and at three
minutes to one the CHAIR called attention to
the notice or the House, and said, if It be the
pleasure or the Senate, the Senate will now
Eroeeed to the hall of the nouse, and the

SUSTAIHINO DECISION Or TUB COMMISSION.
When the Satiate had been called to order,
the Chair announced that thn Runatn hnwln
met the House for the purpose of continuing
the electoral count, and objection having
been made to the countto? of the rote of
Florida, the two Houses had separated, and
the objection to counting; the electoral vote of
Florida would be laid before the Senate.
The objections were read by tha Clerk, and
the Cnun asked i "Will the Senate sustain
tbe objection!"
Mr. KERNAN. I will suggest that the ob
Jecttone be taken up sertaffm.
Mr. SHERMAN. I would suggest that the
proper question will be i "Shall the decision
of the tribunal be saatatned, notwithstanding
the objections presented!"
Mr. STEVENSON suggested that tha objec
tions be printed and the Senate take a receea
tsntll 10 o'clock on Monday, and he made that
aa a motion.
"Oh no, oh no, no," from the Republican
side.
Mr. STEVEN80N. Oh, well, Senators
may say no, no, snd they can vote aa they
pleaae, but I have a right to express my opln-
Ion. This Is a very momentous proposition,
probably the moat Important ever brought bo
lore tbe Senate, and It la customary to print
such documents.
Tha CHAIR put the question to take arecess.
Mr. STEVENSON. And to print the pa.
pera also.
The CHAIR understood the Senator to
move totake a recess.
Mr. STEVENSON. Aa tbe Culm mUnoder.
StOOd me. I Will Withdraw tha raotlnn nn.l In.
alst upon the motion to print. Several Sena
tora suggested that the papers would coma
ont In the Ilccori to-morrow, while adoou
ment could not be printed lor some time, as
the printing outside of tho Itttori had stopped
for lack of an appropriation.
The motion to print was wthdrawn, and
the motion to take a recess waa pnt to tbe
Senate, and the yeae and nays were demand
ed, ordered and called, resulting In yeas 80,
naya 44, and the motion to take recess wss
lost.
Mr.WHYTE offered a resolution that It Is
ordered that the Senate do not concur In tha
decision of the tribunal. He aald tf the two
Houses do not concur, the decision will
atand by the very terms or the law Itself.
Mr. HAMLIN moved to amend by atriklng
out the word "not" and Inserting the names
of the Hayes electors or Florida In place or
tha Tllden electors nsmed by the last resolu
tion. Mr. SHERMAN submitted a resolution that
the decision of the Tribunal stand, notwlth.
standing the objection thereto.
Mr. WRIGHT submitted a resolution that
tho objection mada and considered to counting
the vote of Florida be overruled, and that
the electors named In certificate No. 1, and
the decision of tbe Tribunal be sustained.
Mr. WHITE said that by the language of
the law the decision stands, unless tho two
Houses shall concur In ordering otherwise.
He moved his resolution as a substitute for all
others.
Mr. SARGENT Inquired If the two hours
mentioned In the law for debate were now
going on.
Mr. MERRIMON said that the various pro.
positions being offered were evidence that
more time was needed for considering this
matter, and he thought the time mentioned
bsd not commenced yet
Mr. ALCOltN said he desired to contribute
bis mite to this matter, and he offered a reso
lution thst the objections be overruled smd
the decision of the Commission be sustained,
Mr. MERRIMON called for the reading of
the decision of the Commission, and It was
read.
The vota was then taken on Mr. White's
resolution, resulting yeaa DO, nays 43, and It
waa lost. '
Mr. EDMUNDS said he wss paired with the
Senator from Ohio (Mr. Tuurman.)
Mr. PADDOCK submitted a resolution as a
substitute for all the others that the objec
tion be sustained.
Mr. HAMLIN moved that all after the word
"resolved" be stricken out and his proposition
Inserted, Ha said It would go before the
country much stronger If tha Senate would by
a decisive vote confirm the decision of the
Tribunal,
The vote was taken by yeas and nays on
Mr. Hiulin's proposition and It was adopted.
Yeaa 43, nays 83.
Mr, SHERMAN gsre bis content to bare
the Hamlin proposition submitted In place of
a sown. r
Mr. MCMILLAN submitted' a resolution
that that objection be overrnlcd and tha do
'elslon.be sustained, ut subsequently with
drew It. ,
Mr. SHERMAN, said the resolution, ss
adopted, Old not exactly meet the case.
Mr.HAMLINsaldthatltdld not, and upon
consideration he found that the resolution of
tag senator irom uhio exactly covered the
ground, snd gave the decision that moral
force which he desired, and bo. moved to re.
consider the vote whereby his resolution was
adopted.
Agreed to, and, thevote being reconsidered,
Mr. Hamlin withdrew his resolution, and
tbe resolution of Mr. Sherman vis , "that
the decision or tho Commission be sustained,
notwithstanding the objection read" was
adopted by a yea and nay vote yeas 41, naya
Mr. SAROENT moved that the Secretary or
the Senate notify the House that the Senate
had come to a decision on the objection sub.
milled, and la ready to meet tha House and
continue tha canvass of the vote.
The vote deciding the question was taken at
3.30, and was a strictly party vote. The Ren
ate remained In session without transacting
anybuuslnoss tlH2:M. when the CnAin en
tounced that he had Just received Informa
tion that tha nouse had taken a recess till
Monday at 10 o'clock.
Mr. 8IIEHMAN moved that the Senate take
a recess til) that hour, and said he desired, so
far ss he wss concerned, to say that ha would
not be bound by the arrangement not to trans
act any business between the hours of 10 and
13 tn the morntns, hereafter.

by tha Bergeaat-at-Arma and Clerk, and occu
pied the position heretofore assigned them.

After order hsd been restored I
Mr.LYNDE, Wis., moved thst the House
take a recess until 10 o'clock Monday morning,
Mr. HALE, Me., made tha point of order
that ander the electoral law this could aot be
done, but that the object of the Joint session
mast be carried out, and that waa to deter
if1".' V th1 validity of tha objections, and
that tha House mutt proceed at once to pass
upon them. It would be a vlolstlon of tha
lawtotake a rseess now
Mr. SPRINGER, HI., called attention to the
cflh section or tha act, which he contended
authorized a recess to be taken at this tuns.
Mr. McCQARY, or la., argned also that a
recess could not be taken now. Tbe House
could not remain In perpetual session, and In
the natnre or things a halt must be called
somewhere, but this wss not the time. It
wss when the Commission was considering a
question for tko votes should be counted with,
out delsy, or by delay tha day upon which the
result should be declared would be passed.
Mr. KASSON took the same, view and ap
pealed to the patriotism of members not to
csute this delay, but to aettle the questions
involved atonca under the bill.
Mr. SPBINaER asked Mr. Kasson If he
had voted for tho bill.
Mr. KASSON said he had not, but he un
derstood the Democrats voted for It on the
ground of pure patriotism, and they should
take speedy- action under It.
Mr. HOOKER, of Miss., argued that It waa
clearly In tha power of the House to take this
recess under the bill, otherwise It could bs
compelled to remsln In perpetual session.
Mr, BANKS, of Miss., said this wss a duty
tt-at could not be deferred. If the House could '
tske a recess now until Monday, tt could take
a recess from dsy to day after that, and by
these continued recesses tbe lime might arrive
when no result would be declared, and there
would be no result declared.
Mr. HOAR, of Mass., said he had no doubt
but that the House, under the bill, could take
one recess pending the consideration of this
Suestloa, and that It would be clearly In or
er. He did not thluk there was a violation
of thelawln It. He could not believe that there
was any party which would be so .dishonorable
aa badjbeen Intimated, as to take recess front
day to day and thus not accept tha results of
the Commission. He did not believe that any
party would so dishonor Itself.
Mr. COX, of N. Y., argued on the right for
a recess, and he repelled any Insinuations that
might be thrown out that the Democratic sldo
of tha House would not accept tha results or
the Commission, A recess was ludlspenalble
for consultstlon, so that the Impoitant ques
tions Involved In the decision might be con
sidered. Tha SPEAKER overruled Mr. Hale's point
of order and held that under the Mil there
was no other tlmo at which a recoae conlt be
taken. If the discussion had been entered
upon It would have been thednty ofthe Chair
to put the question at the expiration of two
hours, and then the Joint convention would
have reassembled Immediately. Each Homo
waa allowed to take a recess whenever a
question arose and this waa the first time that
a question had arisen, and It was therefore
competent to take a recess until the next day
at 10 o'clock, and In this caao until Monday.
Mr. HALE appealed from the decision oJ,
tho Chair.
Mr. COX moved to lay the appeal on the
table, and the latter motion waa agreed to by
a vole of 150 yeaa to TO naya. Messrs. Uoau
snd TuoRNBtnia of the Republicans voted
against talking on the ground that there was
a clear right to take one recess.
A VOTE 7AEXN.
The motion for a recess waa then agreed to
by 103 tu 103. Messrs. Carr, Ind,, Hat.
mond, Ind , hn Mothe, III., Moroan, Mo.,
Wiiiteuocse, N. Y., Democrats, voted with
tha Republicans In tbe negative, and with
these exceptions tha vote was partisan.
Just befcre the vote waa announced, Mr.
Gotham, the Secretary of the Senate, ap.
peered with a messsge that the Senate had
voted to sustain the decision or the Tribunal,
and that that body waa ready to meet the
House again In Joint convention.
The Clerk was directed to notify the Senate
of Its sctlon, and the House then at 3.45 took
