If yon examine closely into Sena
tor Edmunds' conduct in regard to
the Electoral Commission, yon will
" be tempted to charge him with do
plicity and fraud, and to look with
as ranch disfavor upon his character
,?3$fl9fiP W Morton or Garfield,
the two men who are now regarded
t!flfin Congress as specially representing
the very worst elements in the Re
publican party. Senator Edmunds is
decidedly an able man one of the
ablest in the Senate. He has been
hitherto invested with higher attri
butes by his admirers than are sup
posed to belong to his fellow Repab-
licans generally. But is he entitled
10 the character that has been
assigned him.-' is be really a
j of any more liberality of senli-
ment,or more magnanimity of nature,
or more, exalted sense of honor than
Morton or any Of the extremists?
We doubt it, and we think the facts
really forbid any such conclusion
He lacks the manliness of Morton
He pretends to more conservatism of
temper and a greater devotion to
principle, but it is pretence and no
thing more. Morton, with all of his
Yin Jictiveness, is an open foe. He
shows what he is a bitter, uncom
promising hater of the Southern peo
ple, who would rather turn the Union
into a bell than have the Democrats
restored to power and the black and
loathsome record of his party overhauled-
He shows this intense ha
ired this invincible antagonism on
all occasions. He bas jio conceal
ments of his feelings, but is as con
spicuously defiant as thoroughly cor
rupt. He will resort to any sort of
slanders to foster and perpetuate a
similar hatred for the South in the
hearts of others. So he can continue
the rule of his party, he is regardless
of the means ifThey can only sub
serve his ends. He is thoroughly
bad and thoroughly reckless a bold,
vigorous, able and insatiable assail
ant of the Southern people.
Edmunds is more prudent. He
i does not unveil his designs. He is
more calculating and plausible. He
uses readily high sounding phrases
that are supposed to represent honor
and integrity, and the other lustrous
adornments that add a charm to hu
manity. And now for what be has recently
done. Wo think the following will
satisfy the ' most incredulous reader
that Edmunds has been guilty of
great and inexcusable duplicity in
his course with reference to the Com
mission. Edmunds is a very eminent law
yer, and in his party ranks first
among the Senators. He, it was,
who first proposed the creatiug of a
special tribunal to settle the dis
turbed political elements. He ap
peared to be alarmed at the bold
usurpations and defiant attitude of
the conspirators. He was not alone in
his fears. Other able men saw
1 the dangers that threatened the very
life of the country, and co-operated
readily and joyfully in his proposed
plan of settlement. The Commission
was formed. It was planned in the
interest of peace, and to guarantee to
the dountry fairness, justice and im-t
partiality. It was Edmunds who re
ported the bill from the committee.
It was Edmunds who engineered the
bill. He was its most effective and
earnest advocate. He it was who
proclaimed to the Senate and the
country the fair and honorable ends
contemplated by the bill, and the
construction which he placed upon
it was the very construction that the
people of every section and party ac
cepted. But thiB was not all he did. He
not only spoke and wrote, but he
voted too. Senator Edmunds intro
duced certain resolutions to raise a
committee for the specific purpose of
inquiring into the frauds. One of
his resolutions contains the following:
"Besotted, further, That the said commit
tee be, and is hereby, instructed to enquire
into toe eligibility to office under the Con
stitution of the United States of any per
son alleged to bave been ineligible on the
7th day of November last, or to be inelig
ible as electors of President and Vice
President of the United States, to whom
certificates of election have been or shall
be issued by the executive authority of any
State as such electors, and whether the ap
pointment of electors, or those claiming to
be such in any of the States, has been made
cither by force, fraud, or other means oth
- rwise thaa m conformity with the Consti
tution and laws of the United btates and the
fZ8nibe "H" and whether
any such appointment or action of any
SnnCtr hM, been ia aQy unconstf
tutionally or unlawfully interfered with,"
Now it is plain to the humWest un
derstanding that the resolution quoted
in part was intended to convey, and
does convey, the idea and purpose of
making due
of the election in certain of the States.
It means that, or it means nothing.
That the Senator purposed wlfft
Democrats thought he purposed,
made very certain by wfiaT "e said
reply to Senator Wtfyte, 6t Ma
land. Senator Whyte had objected
that Edmunds' resolution was not
comprehensive enough did not cov
er the whole grouod ihfit, it, should
authorize a thorough, searching ioqui
ry into the conduct of the Re tu lining
Boards in Sooth Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida.
What did Edmunds say to this ?
Did he say then that he would vote
afterwards for a resolution that
would cut off all chances of inquiry
into the Louisiana frauds that he
would vote for a resolution that de
clared curtly and squarely "that the
evidence be not received", by which
evidence the purpose of his fourth
resolution could alone be carried out,
to wit, "to inquire into the eligibili
ty" of electors, and "whether the ap
pointment of electors, or those claim
ing to be such in any of the States,
has oeenmade either by force, rated,
or other means" fcc. Did the Ver
mont Senator, then and there, in his
place in the JJnjled States Senate,
declare that bis resolution did not
contemplate any such inquiry or in
vestigation ? Far, very far from it.
Here is what he said :
"Mr. President, the substance of what
me nonoraDie senator from Maryland has
nronosed. although annnrantlv nnt in ac
cordance with the views he expressed last
year, is me suosiance oi tue last resolution
which I have had the honor to offer. The

and we should have the proper committee.'
lusictiu ui iuia special committee to per
form the duty."
Such is his record before the Com
mission was formed. We know the
rest how he was elected a member
of that really august and most im
portant tribunal clothed with all the
powers that his resolutions could ttive
it how be deliberately and basely
surrendered his honor, his plighted
faith, bis good name, and wickedly
and corruptly betrayed the interests
and rights of forty-five millions of
people.
He suggested, defended- engineer
ed the bill that created tfclt TOnmi's
sion ; he defined its powers: he ex
erted bis great abilities in securing its
passage ; and then joined the con
spirators and sold his honor and re
putation to the worst men in the na
tion. He must have purposed a cheat
rom the beginning. Morton, Brad

After examining the Verraonter's
record, who would not prefer to be
the aggressive, defiant, out-spoken
enemy of all that is right like the
Indiana Danton, than to be the sleek,
sly, plausible " Artful Dodger " of
Vermont ? He is really almost as
mean, as despicable as Joe Bradley,
the Judicial bull-dozer.
The Washington correspondent of
the Norfolk Landmark, in his letter
of the 18th inst., refers at length to
the young lady who recentljr person
ated J uliet in this place. We quote
a sentence or two.
"In a convenuktion with "Mica A tAm,.
just before she left Washington, she ex
pressed her opinion that her talents were
entirely of a tragic order, and the character
which required the most vivid force, ex
pressive emotion, nervous strain and highly
wrought power, suited her best. Miss An
derson has a wonderful histrionic ability,
and she bas genius of a marvellously high
order, and if she pursues the right path the
Goddess Thalia will encircle her brow with
ivy' wreaths, and her name wilt become a
household word; Birr and the ifs and buts
are stumbling-blocks in all our lives Miss
Anderson should confine herself to one cer
tain role, and not attempt to be a female
Admirable Crichton. As a Pauline in the
Lady of Lyons, and a Juliet, she is nearly
perfect; her Willowy, graceful Aelier
liquid tones and her great genius, all com
bined, make her the embodiment of the
ideal So far, so well; but here she should
stop, for when she attempts old age she
fails lamentably."
We copy this because vM hftve
great confidence in her genius, and
she is par exccUmejs the best actress
native to the South.
A party of Judges, Senators and
Representatives were playing a game
of Eight-up in Washington the other
day. The game was verj rfjwitfng
and stood seven to seven, when Mor

Morton expresses surprise at the
partisanship of the Democratic mem
bers of the Electoral Commission. It
is enough to make au angel weep to
hear t'he high-minded, magnanimous
Morton talk this way. And, on re
flection, it is strange that the seven
Democrats couldn't see how fair and
honest was the count of the "contab
uiators" in Louisiana. On further
reflection, we are indignant that the
vote to give Louisiana to Hayes was
not unanimous.

What is to be done with Aliunde
Bradley now? He is certainly no
longer fit to be a Justice of the Su
preme Court of the United States.
He would make a worthy successor
of J.Madison Wells on the Louisiana
Returning Board. Let him beoome
a "oontabulator " of returns.
It is -not likely that there will be
any Democratic mail agents, collec
tors oi internal revenue or postmas
ters appointed for several years.
None but aliunde Radicals will do
for those places ndw; and we would
advise our friends to look out for
some other job.
Just think of being "confabulated"
into the Presidency by Joe Bradley
and J. Madison Wells 1
