George Jones, which printed last Saturday, Mr. Justice Strong ted the true States rights theory of ent in clear and vigorous language. afirmed that Congress has no constitu right to inquire into the State elections .cletors; that the Electoral Commission no more power than Congress; that it Ty tld be a most dangerous usurpation were to do what States alone havea right to even to cure a great wrong; that the exer Sof such a power by either Congress or an oral Commission would place the rights eS tates at the mercy of the Federal gov ent. All this, as we have said before, is sound .Democratic constitutional doctrine, and we not complain that Mr. Justice Strong and who voted with him in the electoral on applied it rigorously in the case. We do not recognize, and never have admitted the right of the Congress or of an electoral comm is to inquire into the election of electors in State. :.he crime which the Federal government ted against Louisiana was military .terference in our elections and the protection t eriminal officials in making a fraudulent vass of the votes. The troops have since withdrawn from our capital, and 'it now ves upon the proper officers of the State '.aing the criminal officials to justice. If fail to do this, let the disgrace rest upon The doctrine of Mr. Justice is sound, and we do not want Con to inquire into the matter even to "the great wrong that has been done." R.u Bat if Mr. Justice Strong voted in the a case to receive the votes of the SU'ayes electors upon the grounds stated in letter, upon what rule of right, or law, or 4.xnmon honesty and decency does he ac t for his votes in the Florida and Oregon .=A es? If he had applied the great doctrine embodied in his letter, and upon which he de " g. ds his vote in the Louisiana case, to the ~.a es of those two States he would have been oreed to vote for the Tilden electors from ith of them and Mr. Tilden would been de alared President instead of Mr. Hayes. There is no possible way of evading this ma. A Tilden elector from Oregon held certificate of the Governor of that State. 'if Mr. Justice Strong believed that "the Commission had no constitutional to inquire into the State election of " why did he, acting under a solemn institute an inquiry into the election of in Oregon and refuse to accept the of the Governor as conclusive tiDtance ? His action in the case was even more reprehensible. a- facie case of the Tilden electors --. " p was fuller and clearer by far SHayes electors of Louisiana; judge, whose devotion to - ;, > < that be open and Invrtgate the ats election of electors in Florida. In view of these facts the following passage from Judge Strong's letter must seem to all honest men hollow, false and contemptible: The Electoral Commission has no more power than Congrees has, and I think it would be a most dangerous usurpation, were it to do what the States alone have a right to do, even to cure what I fear was a great wrong of the Louisiana Returning Board. Certainly there was a great wrong perpe trated by the Louisiana Returning Board, but it is also certain that a great wrong was perpetrated by the Florida Board of Can vassors. The application of the principles laid down in his letter, and which Judge Strong applied so mercilessly to Louisiana, applied to Florida would have righted the wrong in the latter State; or the application of the policy pursued in Florida by a body of honest men would have righted the wrong in Louisiana. But Mr. Justice Strong followed one princit pie in the Louisiana case and another in the Florida and Oregon cases, adopting in all of them precisely that line of treatment which would enable the Commission to give, with the greatest plausibility, force and effect to the wrong committed by the Republican con spirators in each. The conclusion is, there fore, irresistible, that the purpose of Judge Strong was not to correct any wrong that had been committed; that he was not inlluenced in his vote in the Louisiana case by any respect for principle, but that his object was, in defiance of law and justice, in disregard of his high duty and his solemn oath, to count in Mr. Hayes and prolong the domination of the Republican party. Thus, Judge Strong's letter, while it em braces the true theory of the American gov ernment, is a terrible condemnation of him self. That letter and his votes in the Elec toral Commission prove him to have perjured himself and that he is unfit to occupy a place on the Supreme Bench of the United States. If the moral tone of the country were as high as it was in the better days of the Republic, Congress would not have sat a week before impeaching this perjured judge. Congress should impeach him now, and thus do all In its power to reawaken the respect of the people for a tribunal they once held in the highest reverence, but which has sadly fallen from its high estate since its members be came perjurers in the interest of conspirators and usurpers.
