Tho Irish Magistrates antly need Jnstruc- tlons of some kind, ns, generally speaking, they are utterly Ignorant of the taw which they are called upon to Interpret. Mr. For- stor In effect says that meetings gotten up for * Boyeotting” purposes are SIlegal, and that persons who fall to give evidence agninst * Boycotters” are subject to impris- onment, It appears that the Magistrates aro In many Instances ‘afrald of boing “Boy. cotted " themselves, and, have -on that ne. count failed to enforee the Inw. ‘This does not niake much difference, however, as, not- withstanding all the ingenuity of the Crown lawyers, the persons who haye been already tried nt the Asstzes now betiy held In Ire- Innd for Megal assemblage, 'Boycotting,? ete., have been nequitted. ‘Tite report that Secretary Thompson has necepted the Chairmanablpof the Do Lesseps Panaina Canal scheme fs not true, Lt ts be- Hever, however, that it has been intimated tohim that he ean have the position, with a salary of £25,000. ‘Thers are many who think he will accept, and resign lis position as Secretary of the Navy. 31x arrests have been mate within the Inst two weeks to start Incendiary fires in Custer City, D2, T. One attempt succeeded in nearly destroying the clty yesterday morn- ine.’ The prinelpal hotel, 0 store, and the Post-Office were reduced to elnders, and many of the adjacent buildings wero dam- aged considerably, Ciartam Srorcxun’s crusade against the Hebrews seems to be losing ground in Germany. ils petition agatnst the Jews has given riso to a strong protest from several German munfelpalities, Tho heads of the People of these municipalities acem to be level and their hearts in the right place. =—_—_—_ Mn.

Spectat Dispatch to The Chleago Tribune, Wasitnaron, D.C., Dee. %.—The House resumed its session ng a Natlouul debating society. The subject was still the Electoral count, The old straw was again thrashed over, the old points wero restated. Fow Arguments were adduced which‘ were not fully set forth at the inst session. ‘Thera were nonu which were not represented with Greater power und porspicacity in thy debate upon the Electoral count four years ago, during the pendency of the Morton Dill. There was absolutely no Interest in the gal- lerjes, and not’ much upon -the floor, ‘The principal speakers upon the Republican sido were Lapham and Newberry; upon the Democratic side, MeLane and Hause, In THE SPEECH OF JUDGE LAPHAM, particularly, the feurs entertained by many Republicans, to which expression was - given. 1n tho caucua last night, was plainly stated,’ Judge Lapham, who enjoys 2 reputation as & distinguished jurist: and ns a sageclous politician, clearly: stated’ that, in his judge ~mont, tho resolution proposing tho new joint. rule was intended to‘debauch the Electiral count, ‘That party whith had dovised and upproved the gigantic frauds !n 1808 in New York under Tweed and ‘Tilden, which had Produced -the cipher telegrams, which had condoned or pardoned the frauds in Maine, which had forged the Morey letter, was H 80 DEVOID OF POLITICAL AND, MURAL CON- SCIENCE alee that it would not be wiso for Republicans to’ Place any unconstitutional or extraordinary, power in thelr hands, and It would be pru- dent for the Republicans to take no risks yet. Judge Lapham's own statement that you might as well try to drive a cumei through a needlo’s eye, as to put IIancock In Gartield’s place, showed how little ho really antletpates that the Democrats contemplate resorting to any such extremity, and, for that matter, while, upon general principles, the ar- guments of the Republicans and thelr alarm might bo-approved, and while thors are grave doubts as to tho constitutlonniity and no doubts at all as to the utter needles ness of the proposed rule, there 18 NOTHING IN TIE SITUATION to lend to the bolief that the Democrats con- template the counting out of Garfield or tho counting in of Hancock, There are no Dem- ocrats who haye the audacity to indorsa such g proposition, ‘There are many Democrats, and generally they are among tho best and wisest men of tho party, who have declared they could not bo led to approve such a 2! ~y ‘ PRICK S8VE CENTS, - - | een eee + 5 dor for wf ~ guinge fo os 9 : Mr. F, Wood—"If {t troubles, tho gentle, mangl will withdraw the language!) =< Mr. Conger—" Thore must be o limit to the impertinence of the gentleman who makes’ such remarks.

Tho Twelfth Article of the Constitw. \° tion was tha express grant to Congress te count the votes through all time. ‘tha {dea that the Vice-’resident could count the votes tliat he, who might haven plies on.the ticket, should’ decide wiiat votes should ba recelved and what rejected—had never been accepted In tho history of tho vountry. Ovor and over again had this subject been debated, Unhappily, once In tho history of the country...” a law had been passed under the operation of" which a count had beon made which would forever stand n monument of disgrace and dishonor to the country, because that count had counted Ina man who had not received a majority of the Electoral yotes, , THE TWELYTI ARTICER rar gave the House the power to elect the Prest- ‘ tent under a certain contingency. If the Jurisdiction was conferred on a tribunal on @ ‘ certain contingency, that tribunal was cer talnly to judge when that contingency had oceutred. ‘The House must judge when tht contingency on which {¢ inight elect. thi President had occurred, and tha House could not judge of that contingency untess it verified every vote, The Twelfth Article Imposed on the House thé actual no eussity of counting ond verlfylug the vote, > That was on power — thal could not bo delegated. Knowing that the gentlemen on the other'side meant to set the 2 Constitution at definnee, it was his hope thal * he would yet lve to see his party again ina mnajority in the House. If the gentlemen on the other side of the House chose to obstruct business until the day shoutd come for count ing the Electoral vote, let them haye the ro sponsibility, Let the Democrats await that day, and, when it came, jet thom: take-their Seats and see -that.the votes opened by the Vice-President were genuine votes, Let them sce thit every Elector. was qualified and vt them take any other step thoy pleased Inthe way of inquiry and Investigation ta know whether the Electors who hai cast the yotes were qualified Electors, If, perchance, they should find that—ns was the case in 187% Electors had voted who were not qualiticd, LET THEM HAVE!

He could not coneelve of any moro detestable thing than rejecting the vole of, State, except yot= ing o Stato against Its will. That was tho crime of the Republlean ‘party, ae -I¢ had accepted perjury and forgery 7:4 asa means of certifying votes. -In the face ‘“ of this fact, the gentlemen on tho other sida atood heru and endeavored to give the Vice- Prestdent the power to count thevotes. It ‘was an attempt at usurpation that looked to tho future, and there was no legislative uc- tion that was not justiiable to defeat, that purpose, : A disjointed, running debato then onsued, plan, Carlisle, of Kentucky, for instance, said yesterday tho vote of- Georgia could not be counted, and that, if the -election of Jan- cock had depended upon that vote, he could not consclentiously- havo yoted that It bo counted, Indeed, it 1s doubtful whether EVEN THE MOST EXTREME MEN of the old filibustering faction would enter upon 80 hazardous a scheme as to count in Hancock, and, for this reason, many Repub- licans are Inclined to-oppose persisting in fillbuatering to a greater oxtent than is necessary to make It very cloar to the coun- partielpated in by Messrs, MeLune, Calkins, ;- Huntor, Cox (N. Y.), and Mills, during tha” <j course of which Mr, Allis intimated his op- a position to tho ponding resolution: onthe . ground that, under [ts provisions, the Scns’ ata might declare who was President, and MIL LAPHAM. leat sald that Inst session ha had looked upon the ponding nieasure as on attempt to debauch the Electoral count. Why wore tho whuels © of legislation now blocked to cousider a - question, whon it was. admitted -that there was no necessity whatever for the operation - try that tho proposed rule is unconatitutlon- ‘al and needless, ‘Judge Lapham maintained that the proposed rulo would permit eithor louse to reject n voto of n State, oven If there necompanied tho Electoral certificate only ® paper -purporting to be a. return, whether oficial or not, or whether forged or not, and tnt the protests of the New York Democratle State Cuminitteo might be inter pretad to such a paper. - . THE BPEKCH OF WLANE was'n tedious constitutional argument, simi- Jnr to that of Inst year, while Herbort’s brief eulogy of Lincoln was a specimen of tho speeches of tho perlod of gush and must which preceded and fmmediately followed the Southern polley, Tho Democrats inako great pretense that they are anxious to press forward with the public business, and FERNANDO WOOD posed before the publlo with the declaration that ho was fn hasty tu take - up the Funding billy but there was no Indication of any pur- oso on the partof tho Democrats to recede from the political debate which’ they haye forced, or to do anything else until they shalt haye compelled tho Republicans: to permit tho passage of this unconstitutional ‘bill, Fernando .
