Walker's Comment* on the Caii

(From his paper?the Charleston Courier.]
Under this bill, Wheeling gets the Cap
ital for eight year*, which is a a much a
she could very well expect. What doe
Charleston get? Nothing,and that "by;
very large majority."
Befote the Senate takes hold of tin
Capital bill, the Intelligencer propose
to "take a long, fresh breath." We infei
that paper intends moving into th
country Home distance.
Should the Capital election come oil* i
is confidently expected that the entiri
Republican vote of the First and Seconi
Districts will be cant aolidly for Charles
ton, in order to encourage the Democracy
of the Third District.
We await with wrapt attention am
breathless interest, the holding of a meet
ing of the citizens of Charleston, to en
dorse the bill for keeping the Capital a
Wheeling eight years, and then locatin
it 'permanently at Clarksburg, the Thin
District paying ten thousand dollars a

When to Use Spectacles. ? Th
simplest rules for ascertaining the nee;
of eye-glasses are, firstly,' to note if yo
are obliged to rciuovo small print o
:v; objects further thnn usual from youreye
in order to see them distinctly; secondly
if you find yourself involuntarily moviu
nearer to the light than wan usual wit
you in order to read a letter or booli
thirdly, if very small object* apj>car t
be confused after you have looked n
them for any length of time; fourthly
if the eye*, after a little close attentio
to anything, become ho fatigued that yoi
are obliged to turn aside to give thei
9 relaxation; and lastly, if the sight on lira
waking is very weak, and doe* not re
? cover its customary degree of force unti
some time after. A* for the choice c
eye-glasses, here are a few general rule
to begin with: "In the first place, goo
glasses ought never to magnify the object
very much, but merely to show thcai t
us clear, simple and exactly such a* the
are. Even in the exceptional cases whei
H rather strong magnifier* are needed, tli
proof when they are too strong wi
be when you are "obliged to bring the ol

* Proceedings of the Commission
* The Argument in Louisiana Case
ie Washington, February 14.?Mr. Cai
i* penter, on the reassembling of the Klec
i- toral Commission, thin morning, resume
il his argument, contending that the Cor
It Btitution of tlit United States forbad
o the conferring of judicial powers upoi
it the Returning Board of Louisiana, an
I- that the laws of a State which attempts
it to confer such power was void. On
j nun could not be punished for another'
t. ofl'ense. Suppose we take Milwauke
it county, where the Democrats can giv
i- f),000 majority, and 100 of us Bepubll
o cans bull-doze another hundred Repub
i- licans, and because of this the whole vot
s is thrown out, would that be just? Th
r Returning Hoard, had it possessed judi
rial powers, had gone outside of its pow
t er. The statute requires duplicate re
r turns to be made within twenty-fou
e hours and such returns were not mad
n within iifteen days. He read from tit
if report of Messrs. Hoar,Wheeler and Fry
> to show how this delay could be taken tul
2 vantage of to change the result, and sail
they were prepared to show that 10,00!
t votes had been disfranchised,
s Senator Howe went upon the theory tha
il if a plaintiffs agents commit robberv th
;l defendant's agents may commit robber;
Thirt was not a matter for Louisiana I
0 settle for herself. Ah it was, the wlioh
s nation was interested in the laws. Tin
Representatives and Senators mCongres
may assist in making a President o
the United States that her vote wouli

II A careful and thorough exmiunatioi
? of thin case by this tribunal would d(
i* more to restore peace to Louisiana thai
it regiments of soldiers.
Mr. Trumbull said he supposed the;
should now present the evidence. Fraud
irregularity and illegality on the part o
the Returning Hoard were charged am
0 proof ottered W?-"lX5 produced. Kellogj
(j and others were accused of tuns of omis
j. sion and commission, and proof thcreo
ofl'ered to be furnished to the tribunal.
? A discussion sprang up as to the tiiu<
to be allowe<l for argument on the inter
n locutory (|iiestion as to the admissibility
e of the evidence.
Judge Strong ofl'ered an order givinj
f counsel two hours on each side to argiu
j. the admissibility of the evidence.
Mr. Thurman moved an amendmen
making the time three hours. Rejectee

' The proposition of Judge Strong wai

whether a President of the United State!

II part of the officials whose duty it" was t(
issue certificates. There waa no othei
tribunal to which application could b<
made except this tribunal. He spoke o;
. the tribunal aa a tribunal of the twe
I house* of Congress. Could it be, he
asked, that the constitution had made r(
n. provision against the inauguration of 11
" President by forgery and fraud, and b)
8 conspiracy between the men who certifj
" to hia election? He felt humiliated
that, aa a citizen of thia republic
he waa called on to argue this
'? question before the national tribunal
e It waa not before a canvaasing board
e touching the election of a Justice of the
' Peace, but the National Congress, having
? power to go the very bottom of everv
? thing, that he appeared. There was sub
>' mitted to thia Commission not only the
^ question who were the lawful electora
'? but all the matters connccted with the
l~ double return. When the act waa passed
" a thrill went through the country, and
'J there waa a feeling that, whatever the
'j decision waa, it would declare the true
, voice of the people. Should it be said
II that when the law declared that thej
should consider all questions connected
# with the double returns, that it merely
meant that they should do a simple sum
in arithmetic and add up the returns u

5 General Government, directed to the
I President of the Senate. The President
of the Senate then, in the presence of tlu
r Senato and House of Representatives
0 shall open all certificates and the votei
nliall then be counted. That is all tlu
electors have got to do. This is a right
lH not inherent in the State but derivative
from the Constitution of the United
States, which is as much a part of tlu
Constitution of every State as it is^ of it
* Every word and every letter in this con
]t stitution is ns binding on the State ai
'[ upon on the United States. Mr. Trurn
lj bull referred to the unanimous report
II made by tho Senate Committee in 1873
* and said, what was the result of that re
port? The Senate and House of Kepre'{
(tentative* voted not to count the electoral
d vote of'thoS'ate of Louisiana. Congress
looked into it and its committee reported
that the votes had never been canvassed
by anybody having authority to canvaw
them and the result was that the vote ol
- the State of Louisiana was rejected.
Justice Bradley?Who made the canr
vass at that time?
Mr. Trumbull?It was required to be
- made by tho Returning Board which
consisted of the Governor, the Secretary
of State, the Auditor, and two other per
t?ons, and there was a controversy ns to
i. which was the true Canvassing Board.
,f Justice Bradley?It was held that the
if proper Board had not made a canvass.
Mr. Trumbull?It was not decided in
the report of tin* Committee on Privil
egw.
Senator Morton?IIave you the wholi
renort there ?
Ia Mr. Trumbull?1 have. One ot tin
points stated In that the persons who, it
fact, made the examination and count liat
I no legal authority to do wo.
' Senator Edmunds?Do 1 understand
yon to say that the judgment of the Hen
ate four yearH ago was on a question o
: fact an to' what the real vote of tho penph
J of Louisiana was?
i. Mr. Trumbull?It is difticult to tell or
e what consideration the Senators voted
i The certificate oi the Governor of Louis
il iana in that case was in the proper form
1 but for some reason both houses con
e curred in rejecting the vote of Louisiana
s so that, if this amounts to anything, it ii
e a decision that a duly authorized certifi
e cate of a Governor is not conclusive in
i- the two houses of Congress.
Senator Edmunds-?The resolution
o adopted then was that all the objection?
a presented having been considered, no
electoral vote purporting to be Uiat oi
- Ixmisiana should be counted. That was
adopted by a vote of 33 to 10. Among
r the objections was oue by Mr. Carpenter,
e of Wisconsin, on the ground that there
e was no proper return of the votes cast by
0 the electors in the State of Louisiana,
- because there was there no Stato govern1
ment republican in form, and because no
J canvass or count of the votes had" been
made prior to the meeting of the electors,
t Another objection of similar import was
c made by Senator Trumbull, of Illinois.
The Presiding Justice (interposing)?
:> Yoil are entitled to the tloor, Mr. Trum*
s bull; unless you yield, proceed.
b Senator Kdmuiids (to the Presiding
s Justice with soino asperity of tone)?
f Do you mean to say that a member of the
1 Commission cannot make an inquiry.
The Presiding Justice (authoritatively)
- ?I say that Mr. Trumbull is entitled "to
f the lloor.
Justice Bradley (to Mr. Trumbull)?I
understand that the decision of the Sene
ate in that case went to the form the not
r to point as to whether the certificate of
t the Governor was not conclusive.
r Mr. Trumbull read Gov. Waruioth's
. certificate in that case, and said that
- this one thing was settled by Congress,
, and that was that the Governor's certili.
cate, the same as that known as No. 1 in
i this ease, might be overruled by the con)
current action of the two houses. The
i report of the committee was that the vote
had not been properly canvassed. Now
, we propone 10 snow tuai tne vote 01
, Louisiana has never been canvassed; that
f the pretended canvass was a fraud; that
J the paper* are forged, that the returns
arc altered and falsified, and I would like
to know if a count under such circumf
stances is any better than a count made
bv persons who had not any right to coaut.
? It the action of Congress is good for anv
thing in that cane it must lie
7 binding on this commission.
Mr. Miller?Allow me to make a point
I which came up in the Florida case and
to which I attach a good deal of importance.
If the only thing that a Republit
can Returning Hoard can do is to deter!
mine whether certain poll* are to be
counted or rejected, your argument is a
h perfectly good one, but is it not also true
that the jurisdiction of the Board in comi
mensurate with the duties and functions
; which it has to perform, and is it not
true that the one main fact which it has
r to perform is to ascertain who arc the
r electors and to declare that ? and can it
r 1)0 said, that is, that the board in mistaken
r in the lnw in some points while discharging
that function that n mistake is so jurisdictional
as to vitiateit* return?
1 Mr.Tiumbull?No,sir, I do not. con?
tend for that.
i Justice Miller?Then my suggestion is
i that the jurisdiction of that Board is to
ascertain and declare who were elected
i and that all below that is the exercise of
the means and mode of procedure.
Mr. Trumbull?To that I cannot quite
f assent. I assent entirely to the proposii
tion that in any matter over which the
> Board had jurisdiction and discretion to
I ?.? IUI juufjuii-ia in uut IU lie UlHlUrUCU.
i The point which I make is whether it is
its duty to canvass and compile the vote.
' It is also its sworn duty not to take jurisI
diction of a question or reject rote* nn,
less a foundation id laid for it.
i Mr. Trumbull next argued against the
, legality c?f the Returning Board and inI
Hinted that it was not competent for four
i persons to act.
j Senator Efimunnda?Your point is
that no steps could be taken by the Re
turning Board until the Board was full V
; Mr. Trumbull?No step could be taken
, until the Board was full, they having
! authority to till it. l'ossiblv a diU'erent
I rule might apply if they had not power
I to fill vacancies; but the power being
? there constitutes the elements of
i this .Returning Board, l>eing requirI
ed to consist of persons of different po'
litical parties, I insist that the Board can
I not go on without filling up the vacancy.
The, Presiding Justice notified Mr.
i Trumbull that his time had expired, but,
i in consideration of the various interrup
tions to which he had been subjected,
i some iurther time was accordcd him,
I which he used in presenting objections to
. the electoral votes of Brewster and LeviI
see, who held Federal oflices at the time
> of their election.
I Justice Bradley?Do vou intend to
i prove that they were Federal olliceholdl
ers at that time ?
' Mr. Trnmhull?VPJ hit.
! Justice Bradley?And that they were
officeholder* at the time they cant their
i votes?
i Mr. Trumbull?No; I understand that
, the proof will show that IkewHter teni
dered his resignation on the 4th of No*
i vernber and that it was accepted on the
, 16th, and that, very singularly, it was
. accepted to take effect on the lth, some
i twelve days before it was rend at the In
terior Department.
i Senator Thurman?Does not the law
t of Louisiana provide that if an elector
t who has been chosen does not appear by
s a certain hour the remaining electors may
' proceed to lill the vacancy?
I Mr. Trumbull?There is such u provis,
ion in the Acts of 18GS.
I Senator Edmunds?IJut you say that
i the law is not in force.
! Senator Thurman?If that law wis in
; force and if Brewster didn't appear at
i the time, then there was a vacancy under
, that law ?
i Mr. Trumbull?No. I do not consider
? there was. The statutes of the United
t States make two provisions, one, is for
t the tilling; of any vacaucy that may occur
I in the College when the electors meet to
i give the electoral vote, and the other is.
. that when an election has been held nnd
no choice has been made on the day pre\
scribed by law. In that case an elector
- may be chosen on a subsequent (day, here
: there was no choice, it was just as if two
, persons had received the ?auie vote, oi
as if there had been no election on the
7th day of November.
Senator Thnrinan?is not the real
i question whether there was any power
I in the electors to fill vacancies or to sup1
pose the persons had been qualified but
i had not appeared?
Mr. Trumbull?Then if this statute of
1SC8 was in force the other electors could
have filled the vacancics.
Mr. Thurmnn?But suppose the law
[ was not in force ?
Mr. Trumbull?Then there is no law
' to (ill vacancics.
Kepresentntivo IIunion?Kxcopt by
i election.
Mr. Trumbull?That brings up these
i complicated statutes. The statute of 1872
provides for filling all vacancies by pop*
i ular election: If that statute wa? in
force llicae vacancies would have to li
lilled by popular election. 1( tlie law c
9 1SG8 wan m force then the absence o
then? two electors would give the other
? authority to fill the vacancies provide
\ auy one had been elected. it the vote
1 of I^vissee and Brewster are to b
counted, and if a man ia to be made I'res
I idenl of the United Htatea by countini
their vote* and the vote* of Louisiana
( then it in done by mere forms of law, con
3 trary to the principle!* of the Constitu
lion of tho United State* and in violatioi
i of the right* of tho people.
, Senator Thurman?la there auy statut
of Louisiana that require* the certilical
, of tho Governor?
Mr. Trumbull?There in a statute tlia
, requires the Governor to commission al
i ollicera except certain persona thereii
named, and which do not include Presi
dential elector*.
Senator Thurman?That i* ibo law o
i J8T2, But is there any statute requiring
i him to issue certificates to Presidentia
elector* ?
Mr. Trumbull?No,air, not specially.
Mr. Stoughton followed with an argu
ment on the Republican side. Ho ex
pressed hia surprise at the objection that
the certificate of Governor Kollogg wai
inoperative. It would lw remembered
that when the vote of Connecticut wai
counted her Governor, Mr. Inger*oll, wai
Presidential Elector at Large and that
hi* certificate had been received withou!
objection. Such objections were liardlj
suitable to the dignity of the occasion
It had also* been objected to-day
and the objection had beeu urged with t
good deal of zeal, that Governor Kellogg
was not Governor of Louisiana, and thai
Louisiana wits governed by a militarj
despotism. He supposed that that meant
that a military force had been on the
representation of Governor Kellogg tc
the President ordered to Louisiana for
iue purpose 01 suppressing insurrection.
The learned counsel (Carpenter) wn*
right when lie succeeded in Maying
that without nucli aid the government, ol
which Kellogg was the head, would have
ken overturned, but the counsel should
have rellected that the very fact that Gov.
Kellog had made such application, und
that it had ccen.grauted wax decisive evidence
that he watt Governor of Louisiana,
lie argued that the Returning Board wan
a legal board aud had the power to ascertain
the vote, and finally the certificate;
it seemed to him the decision ol
the commission in the Florida case determined
the entire question here as to the
right ol the commission to go behind the
action of the KetBrning Board, and did
not perceive that auv question, much less
the main question, that was uow open for
argument. He quoted against Trumbull's
argument from the report by Senator
Trumbull to the effect that neither
the Senate or lloune, nor botli
houses jointly have the power under
the constitution ^to canvass the returns
of an ejection and that the manner
of choosing electors was left exclusively
to the State, lie also quoted on the
same point a letter receutly published
from ex-Judge Church, of Sew York,
vthom he characterized as a great lawyer
and an upright Judge aud a pure politician.
lie went on to argue that a State
corrects the frauds of its own officers ami
does not apply to Congress for that purpose
and that Congress would best jhtloriu
its duty by discharging it within
its authority, leaving out frauds that
are sometimes assumed and sometimes
offered to be proved to be taken care of
by the tribunals, who have the jurisdiction
over them. Congress might have
the power, but it did not have the right
to disregard the highest legal authority
of a state. Coming in tho course of lain
argument to tho objection of the Returning
Board of ljouisiana, for not having
tilled the vacancy in thcBoard.hc said the
law on the subject wan merely directory
and that failure to obey the law did
not interfere in any manner with the
capacity or jurisdiction of the Hoard. If
two or five members had been Democrats
and had afterwards changed their polltics,
would the Board be asked to cease
to exist on that account? In conclusion
he said: Talk to me about the outrage,
frauds and disfranchisement of the voters.
^ There are two sides to the question,
and if you sit here to go hack and canvass
the votes, you sit here to administer
the laws of Louisiana and you must administer
them by learning who have been
disfranchised and what was the lawful
vote of that State in harmony with her
laws, and not in harmony with the will of
a party.
Mr. Shellabarger next addressed the
Commission on tne same side. He argued
that the act ot 1S72 did not govern in
1870, during the Presidential election,
and that the revisory act of 1870, which
provided for a canvass of the returns by
the Board and Governor, was repealed
and was not in force in 1870, for that
provision which made the Governor a
canvasser for the purpose of election
was inconsistent with the 54th section of
the session act of 1870. which exoressly
provided a different tribunal for all elections,
including the Electoral College.
It was also repealed by the repealing
clause of the session act of 1870. The
election law of 1872 applies to all elections
and furnishes the machinery or
means of' conducting all elections in the
State, including ?the Electoral College,
but it may be asked, said the speaker,
"How can "you preservo and keep in force
that provision of the act of 1870
reversing that of 1868, which pro
viuen iur lining uie j^eciorai isoucge,
consistently with that which you
have just been Htatiog. 1 answer, tirst of
all, that it is an exceedingly benign canon
of interpretation; that a law in never repealed
by a new act unlets either express*
ly ho done or else the repugnance l>e hucIi
that it would be impossible for the two
acta to stand together, and in using this
language I am but repeating the words of
the Supreme Court of the United State*
in announced on many occasions. Another
interpretation is "this, that in cafes of
doubt, whenever an interpretation would
lead to consequences that are either ahnurd
or hurtlul to the public welfare,
that interpretation will never be tolerated
un lew its escape ia impossible. The
next step is this: Is it possible to escape
the conclusion that under the legislation
of Louisiana Louisiana was disfranchised.
ai.d I invite the gentlemen on the
other side who may suppose this act is
repealed by which only the Electoral
College can be filled, to show me some
Htatute that forces upon you, either by
direct provision or anv fair interpretation,
the conclusion that Louisiana has
been disfranchised in this process of
legislation. There is nothing to repeal
that Bection which provides for filling a
vacancy under the laws of 1SGS and 1870.
except the repealing clause of the act of
1S72, which says that all other acts on
the subject of election laws are hereby
repealed. In every case of doubt the
practical construction that has been given
the law is conclusive. This law has been
practicallv construed as applicable to
the Presidential election, for all elections
that have been held since it has been on
the statute book have in fact been
held and conducted under it. The
counsel proceeded to argue that Kellogg
was the rightful governor of Louisiana,
and continued as follows: Now I take
the language of the Supreme Court of
the United States. It is In these words,
"It rest* with Congress to decide what
government is the established ofte in a
State, and when the Senators and Representatives
from a State are admitted Into
the coundls of the United States,
the authority of the government
nnder which they are appointed,
as vfell as its Republican character
? is recognized by the proper Const
if tional authority, ami its tleoiHioii in lii
f inn on every department of the (Jove
h went, and could not l>e questioned in
il judicial tribunal. 8hellabarger next
a gued that the Returning Board wo
e legal body, und that the elector/* objec
to were not ineligible. 1 come now, *
i; the Counsel, to the rest question in I
i, cafe, and really the only question tli
is, and that one is decided by what ;
have just decided in the case of Florl
i and that in whether or not it in corn
tent for you to go behind tho act of
e Returning Board of the State
0 Louisiana for the purpose of lind
out what happened in its exercise of
t jurisdiction bestowed by tho statute
1 the threshold of thiH question. 1 w
l to say that any intimation that when
deny the power of going behind tho ti
ing of that Board, we are thereby cov
f ing frauds or seeking to escape acruli
( is I submit unutterably unjust. li 1
I not even a semblance of fairness in
Jt ill become* my friend to talk to
about this being an attempt to put a it
into the Presidential Chair of the L'ui
States by fraud. Wo hear them sayi
t the divorcement of the legislative, Km
) utive and Judicial is incomplete, tl
! Congress could not exercise J ml it
i. powers. At the very next moment, t
i Counsel nays, oh, yew, you have
judicial powers. You can do somethi
I that quo warranto can do, and becai
' quo warranto can try this thing tl
. can do it, Then in another case we ti
i thepe geutlemen coming up and savi
i oh, Mr. Kellogg is Governor of iJoti
; iana, and therefore he is not an elect
and then the next moment you hu
' them coming forward and saying, oh,
is no otlicer at all; he is not Uovert
of Louisiana, but McKnery.
1 I now conclude tliia argument by
' allusion to what litis been the weight a
burden on the other side. It is in regn
I to tliia iillpcml nntrnwn in ?!?? Klntn
: Louisiana. Why, gentlemen, can y
shut your eyes to what is now, if nott
! snddest, certainly one of the undd
chapters in American history. By acti
count, through the aid of tien.8heridi
it is now set down as part of your histc
that in this blighted and blasted State
Louisiana 4,0(10 and odd citizens li:i
i been murdered?mnrdered by ylan, un
dered by system, by organization; nil
; dered for the purpose of putting do'
the right of the black man to vote, a
that thing has been going on tin on
! three dark and terrible yearn,
was my misfortune to go
myself, in 18(50, to this State, hum
the Congress of the United State*, ami
took the testimony of hundreds of iu<
and when 1 was taking it 1 literally s
with my feet in pools of human blot
shed in putting out the free governmt
of the State of Louisiana, and they t
put it out! Oh, right well and efl'ectual
gentlemen of America, (that is a higl
designation than "gentlemen of the (Jo
mission"), remember there is one tr
here to-night?the question whether tin
laws mt)de in Louisiana in pursuance
that 10.>d article of her Constitution, t
joining it on the Legislature to uia
laws for the protection of the rights
the freeduien to vote. If you fail to c
ecute these laws you will have stabl]
your country in tliat place where we si
taught from childhood the life of t
country is to be found and to reside,

FRO POKED SPECIE SILL.
A bill has been dratted to meet hii
stantially the recommendations of t
President in his recent special messn
with regard to early specie payiuen
and submitted to him, as it probab
will be to the Committee of Ways ai
Means. Its provisions differ in fever
respects lrom the suggestions of tl
President, but it is thought he will n
seriously object to the changes. The b
provides for the use of theft) years' 4 p
cent bonds already authorized by the a
of July, 1370, and by the redemption a
of Januarv, 1875. The amount of gree
backs to be funded into these bonds
$100,000,000, limited to $10,000,000 in ai
one month. A further sum of $:i0,000,m
in greenbacks is authorized to bo wit
drawn in exchange for the subsidiary ai
ver, and to this end the coin is
be increased to an aggregate of $80,OW
000. including the $00,000,000 at preae
authorized. The theory of the provisi<
is that silver change will take the nla
of small greenback ones and twos. The
are limited by the act of 18C3 to $35,00*
000, but the amount outstanding is belt
$30,000,000. No commission is allowi
for funding or exchange of greenbac
itu- for bonds or siltcr coin The expenses
iTid- of engraving, printing, etc., of bonds are
>rn- limited to 1 of 1 per cent. Sorno asany
surances have been given that the bill
