Tho 'fhundoror, belng conducted on the weathor-cock principle, may by counted pn to support tho Liberal party for somo tine atlenst.

THE NATIONAL ELECTION LAW. . ‘The Senate has passed the Detleleney bi for the payment of Deputy Election Marshals recently adopted by the Honse, whieh In- chides the political rider making certain re- strictions, ‘The bil was passcd bya striet party vote, and the Deniccrats porstatently avoided a discussion. Senator Edmunds, however, took occasion to expose many ob- Joctionable features In tho political amend- ment which were not notal in the House and which may induce the President to veto tho bill. ‘Tho bill as passed ts subject to the samo criticism aa tho bills of the-oxtra session whith tho President vetocd Ingo far ay a jolut upprovriation js thus made the agency for constraining the Exeeutiye approval of irrelovant Jegtslation. A veto would be jus- tiable on tho broad, ground that Congress has no authority to encroach in this manner upon the Executive function, and that ft is of tho highest Importance to walntain intact tho respective rights and - potvers that pertain to the. separate annus of tho Goverument, An honest Interpretation of the duties of Congress would ruquire that any moilification of the existing lection laws, or any Imitation upon the qualifications and powers of the Duputy Marshals, should bo incorporated ina separate bili and consid. ered by both Congress and the President, without reference ta the payment of the Gov- ernment’s obligations, In the Delicleney bill, as it now yoes to the President, the Democrats majority fn Congress say to him in effect that ho must accede to thelr stipula- Upns fa regard tothoappoitnent and actions of tho Bpeclut Deputies, or they will refuse to vote the pay of the United Btates Marshals employed by the Government during the cur- rent year, This fa in tho nature of a thrent which the President unquestionably has tho right to resent, According to Senator Edmunds, .too, tha rider attached to the Deficiency bill Is not so innoctious a Mr. Garfield In tho House aecined to think {t would be, It takes tho appointment of the Special Deputics out of the hands of the Marshals, who aro members of the Ixecutive branch of the Government. and transfers thatappolntment tothe Judges. In this manner n radteal encroachment ts minds upon one branch of the Government without an open and deliberate considera- tton of the proposed change. It also appears that, in prohibiting the Special Deputies from making any arrests outstde the particular preeinets for which they are appalnted, the woy !s prepared for organizing mobs and conunitting outrages at the polls which the Marsttal, having no authority to concentrate and rally all his Deputies, will be powerless to resist, Mr. Edmunds mate another point that, under the amendment, there would be no appointment of Special Deputies iu any ease when tho United States Courts were not in sesalon i, November. Indeed, he oontended that the practical -effect of tho amendment Is to defeat the execution of the Election Inws completely. This vlew of the easy ts certainly strengthoncd by the fact that such was the original purpose of the Domocrats, only defeated by n sucecssion of Executive vetoes during the extra session, and also by the cireumstance that bills are now before Congress which have been {ntro- duced by Democratic members to accomplish the saine end. If Prestdent Hayes shall decide not to veto the bill it will probably be on the ground that the validity of the Election laws ts recognized by the approprintion for the Speclal Deputles,+ and in the belief that tho restrictions as to thetr appointment and authority will not serlously cripple thelr efficiency. This was the view which Gen. Garfield took of tho matter when he suggested substantially the amendment which the Dentocrats stthse- quently adopted as thelr own, At tho saine tine, the President will be both consistent and within the purview of his rights if he shall conclude to return the bill without his approval as the only means at Ils command to Instst upon the enforcement ot the Elec- tion Iuw without constratnt or cmbarrass- ment, MR. JOHN SHERMAN PREVARICATES, Some two weeks or more ago one Bute- man, of Cincinnatt, made a speecli, in which he denounced the editor of ‘Tun Cricago Yrmune for having turing the winter of 1877-8, at an Interview with Secretary Sher- man ab Washington City, pleading his im- pending bankruntey, Implored .that oflicer to nullify tho Resumption Inv, and, when the Secretary refused, deelared that Mr, Medill had threatened that ofleer with vengeanes and destruction, and that, immediately re- ‘turning to Chicago, he pursued the Secretary with abuse and slander over since, Tho truth of this statement was denied by Tue ‘Timune. ‘These denials being shown to Secretary Sherman, he declared Bateman’s story to be accurate In every particular. Unteman has sinco publicly In the papers repented tho story, giving Sherman as his ine formant, and aftirming his own knowledyo of the facts, One Nichol, n peripatetic tramp in the employ of Sherman, has repeated the story, and It now turns ott that Sherman hing fornyear been telling the same fabrication toother persons, In all the statements by Bateman, he, upon the authority of Sherman, locuted this Interview in the winter af 18778, ‘Yo the correspondent of the Inter-Oceun, who showed him Bateman’s statement on March %, Sherman sald: Mr, Batemans atatemont did not do the Inter- view Justice,—did not muke thu case out us bid ng it reutly was. Such un Interview as Bato- man described did ocuutr with Joseph Modill itt ths winter of 1 : ‘The same correspondent on March 29 saw Sherman, and, referring to the previous pub- eations, reported: Mr. Sherman nekonaletgen to all porsons that the Interview was correctly reperted, and thut he (Shormun) was aware that the pubtication was to tuke place, Having got the Seeretary to spcelfy with reasonable certainty the time and placo of the so-catled tnterviaw, It was an easy nin ter for Tre ‘Tutnuny to establish beyond all avlestion that the entire story was a total fub- rication, that no such Interview 14 Bateman deseribed and Sherman affirmed had ever taken place, and, owing to circumstances stated, was impossible, Mr. Sherman was in Ohio on the 30th of March, and on April 1 fe eaused to bo print ed In the Cinelnnatl Comaverclut tho follow- {nus letter: > THEASUNY DEPAnTMEnt, WasittnaToN, D. 0, 1880.—Hion, Warner Mf.

Bateman had never mentioned anything about the “fall of 1877,” but, with Shormin, Nishol, and the others, lind spceiftenlly named the “winter of 1877-8," fnk Trinune has shown that Mr. Medill was in Washington aud had an fnterviow with Sherinan in the ‘Treasury in February ‘or March, 1678; that that interviow was cold, formal, and polite, and that Mr. Medill was then writing lotters, and The ‘Tiawune was urgently supporting tho Resumption Inw, and was appealing to tho Senate to defeat the bill which Mad passed tho Houso to repeal the Resumption aot, Driven by the established falsity of tho ‘al- foged Interview In the winter of 1877-'s to 0 change of base, tho Seerytary now locates the Interviow In tho * fall of 1877." Gd ‘Though Mr, Medill is absent froin Chicago, there is overwhulming testlmony at hand to prove that My, Sherman's statement that any 3 Jitervlow, a3 described by him, or Bateman,-{” or.any of the scores of perwng to.whop No has related It; took place inthe "tall of 1877," fang destitute of truth as was the gefginal nl- legation that such Interview togX place "In tho wittter of 1877-"8,"" pO Ce I¢Mr. Sherman will cpif a convention of his witnesses and u trappers, aud bave some general understanding os to the timo and place where this wonderful interview! took placo; If he will fix somo preciso date, week, month, or season, on which he fs will- Ing ta stand, then If the thing be worth any further notice, wo may do se; but if the See- retary fs ta change the date, to alter his former poyittvo assertions, and prevarteate whenever It Is necessary, we do not propose tofollow him. In tho meantime, for hig guide in selecting Row date, we mayslate that Tue Trinuxy in “the fall of 18779"! placed Its advoency of tho remonctization of silver largely upon the e@rotind that it would ald the great National ‘desldoratun of specle-payments, Will Mr. Sherman fix a new or 9 precize date,—ono which he will stiek to¥ THE WASHBURN-DONNELLY CASE. ‘The Democrats In Congress have again shown signs of a partial surrender to the force of public opinion. Tho action of tho House Committes on Elcetions in! Bie Wash- burn-Donnelly contest is the ense,in point, It was the avowed purpose of the Democrats to disfranchtse tho Republican majority in the State of Minnesote by giving Donnelly the seat in Congress to which Washburn was elected by 4,000 majority, In that event Min- nesota would be represented by two Dente erats and one Repubjienn, and, in ense the next Presidential election should be thrown ‘Into tho Mousa of Representatives, Minne> sota would bo mado to vote for the Demo- cratic candidate, no matter how largo s pop war majority hind been-cast in that State for the Republican candidate, ‘The expostire of this consptracy and the violent denunciation iLling encountered from honest nowspapera of all parties and honest men everywhere have warned the Democrate that they cannot proceed with so {nfamous a trick without dolng thelr party more damage than benefit. i was too much to expect of thom that they would honestly, recade altogether from thelr project and give Mr. Washburn tho seat to which his constituents have elected him; so they have sought to compromise with the public consclencs by a plan for de- eloring the seat vacant. All the Democrats on tha Election Committee, except Speor of Qcorgin and Clark of New Jerscy, voted that Washburn fs not entitled to his seat, and Weaver, the Iowa Greenbacker, voted with them; but when 1t was proposed to glve the seat to Donnelly, Springer, the Chairman, Weaver, anil Phister, a3 well ag the two Con- servative Democrats, voted in the negative. It ts sald in Washington that Springer hind Just returned from an fnterview with ‘Tilden, and that this accounts for his change of heart; but Springer dentes the charge, and Jt ig much moro ikely that he has been in- fluenced by the inanifestations of public dis- approval which tho announcement of the Democratic purpose hins called forth, Some of the newspaper dispatches would seem to Indicate that the Democrats may have deceived thomselves as to tho effect of unseating Washburn batnot giving his place to Donuelly.. It Is'Iinted that thoy may in this way neutralize the vote of Minnesota, in enso the Dresitentint election shall go to tho House, ns effectually os if thoy wero to admit Donnelly, This 1s an error, Tho Constitu- tion requires’ that. ‘a majority of all the States shall be necessury toa choice” of the President, when he 1% to ba elected by tho House of Representatives, If Donnelly should be seated, ther the Democrats coult secure the yote of Minnesota In such an elee- if the sent bo vacated at such o time ag not to permit Mr.‘ Washburn'’s constitu- ents to reflect him, then the Congres atonal voto of tha State will be a tie, and, usa blank In tho Presidential vote, 1t will count against the Domocrats, who will then not be able to secure the votes of mare than nineteen States, including Indiana, while they must havg twenty In order to ob-” taln amajority of. pft the States, ‘the'ex- clusion of Mr. Washburn may be made te overate agaist the Republicans, who, with) Minnesota and Indinna, could control a ma- jority of the State votes, but It will not en- able the Democrats ta obtain such majority for themselves, ‘Tho proposition to unseat Mfr, Washburn Is Just as much of an ofitrage against him and his constitnents ns if it were proposed: at the same time to give his seat te Donnelly, But, itthls Is the vrogran, the Republicans in Congress should insist that {tbo carried for- ward without delay.,' If it bo the Intention to exclude Mr, Washburn and declare the seat vacant, thon the people of his district should bo enabled to.clect a tnomber nt this fall’s election, It’ is probable* that tha Democrats will ‘endeavor to — avolid even this small justico to tho Minne- sute people, beenuse thoy must be convinced that Mr. Washburn jwill be elected agatn by nmuch larger majority than before, for tho purpose of rebuklng.the Democrats and com. pensating him for ‘the Injustice dong him. Metco there Is likely to be an effort to post- pone action in the cage withl next February, when tho Democraty may unseat Mr. Wash- burn In thue to noutralize the yote of Minna sota inp posstble House election of the Pres- idont, Lut tuo late to parmit the election of a new member.
