MADISON WELIS—DID HE CoMMIT PERJURY IN 1875? ITOR OF TH HERALD:— “{# an incident in the political and personal J. Madison Wells, Presiaent of the Lousiana Board (brought out by Senator Thurman in debate im the Senate), wuieh, although not in a great degree passed from the rocollec. blic, but whith is worthy of the consid jose Who are inclined to the theory that ings of the Louisiane Board, beaded by this worthy, should be accepted by Congress without examination, The incident, as stated by Senator Thur- man, is as follows:—In tho count of the votes in Louisiana im 1875 James Madison Wells (Presiden’ then, as now, of the Board of State Camvassers) dis- frauchised the waole parish in which he claimed to re_ side, deprived it of its three members whom it had elected to the Legislature, aod put im three men who bad not been elected, on his own mere affidavit, al” leging intimidation, when it was acknowledged that ho was not present in the parish on the day of election, It tg also further admitted that this aftidavit was not made in public, and never submitted to any of the parties whose election was nullified in cousequence, but filed after the State Canvassing Board went into secret session by Wells as a member of the Board, and was never even seen by the. men who were elected in virtue of 118 making aud official presentation, or by their counsel or the public, Now, the affidavit thus made by J. Madison Wolls was either true or fulse. Mr. Thurman pronounces it to have been whoily false, aud no Senator veutared contradict his assertion, The testimony belore the Cougressional Committee of the Forty-tuird Congress, as well as tho testimony of all the newspaper men who made a study of Louisiana politics in 1876, is also coucurrent to the sume effect; und, if false, then the President of the Louisiaua Keturuing Board was clearty guilty of perjury, aud, us u convicted perjurer, can- Vassed and returved tor Hayes und Waeeier t 8b electorat vote of Louisiana, Under such circumstances it is a pertinent quostion for the public to put to Senators Sherman, Morton, Edmuuus, Morrilland to Mr. Hayes himsei! waether either of them would think for oue moment of appoint- ing a wan with buch a record us this J, Madison Wells hus their executor or trustee, or the management of tueir estates for the benelit of their widows or orpoans, or for the dischurge of any trust involving the practice of the most ordinary good taith and honesty No one can duubt what their answer would be practicaily if not verbally, Ana in thus answering judgment 1s by them given that neither tho word uor the honor of such a man bas any claim to be ac- cepted lor the deciding of the result of an election on which the weltare or misiortune of over 40,000,000 of peopie are dependent. 1 um well aware that it will be replied, that, grant- ing ull that is uileged against tue personnel of the Lou- isiana Returning Bourd, there 1s, a8 tue New York Evening ost recentiy expressed 1, ‘not a word in the Constitution, Ot a line 1 a feueral or State law, not a precedent irom the foundation of the government until this hour, to sustain thetheory thatthe two houses of Copgress, when the votes come to be counted, can resolve themselves imtoo national re- vurning board for the purpose of inquiring into the proceedings of Stute can vussers oro} setting aside the ministerial oF judicial acts of State officers acting in coulormity with State laws”? But suc! assertion has no suilicient warrant For there is such word, anu there such a line inthe constituuen of the United States, und occurring not once, but three times, AL occurs Lirst im the preambie, which delves the object of the constitution ‘to establish justice,” und so, by implication jorbids any procueuings under the text of the constitution ior electing a s’resident or periorining any otuer publie act whereby perjurers and law breakers cap tuke udvuntage of apy of 18 provise tous to Work imjustice, Second, the constitution de- clares that *‘the United States suai] guarantee two every Siute a repuvlican form ot government.” But a Stave government which gives tow board canvassing votes determinative of a popular eluction the power to pass upon tho motives or inental condition of the individuat electors is nota republican iorm of government; for such 4 board, by 148 ussumption and acts, atiempis to tuke upon itsell the prerogatives of omniscience und perfect irresponsibility, aud cannot take one step in thus. attempting without ignoring the “majority prin- ciple.” Third, the fourteenth amendment provides tbat uo Stute, acting as a Stuto, turough its enact- ments “shall deprive aby person of liberty with- cout due process ui jaw.’ Jub the liberty here referred to is not merely liberty of the person, vut ail the lib- erty Ubat can accrue to a citizen under @ repubiican form of government, aud ‘process of luw’? has been detined over and over again by the highest courts in tws country and in England to be, not avything Which a legislative body muy regularly and formally enact, ‘nota statute,’ as Mr. Webster expressed it in the celebrated Dartmouth College cuse, ‘enucted for tho Purpose of working wrong,’’ but “such un exertion of tue powers ol goverument, as be settled maxims of law sanctions, aud under such sate- guards for tue protecticn of individual) rights as these maxims provide.”—Covley, Now in the case of this Louisiane Board, the rigat (liberty) to exercize the elective Iranchise bas bevn denied ®y them to about one-twelith of the whole voting population of the Siac, under a piea of mental 1uuimidation, when a vote larger in proportion to the populution was cust than Was polied in the Siate of slassachusetts ut the same elec- Vion, and under rules und proceeuings that ure not in Consouance with anything that can claim to be ‘due process of law,’? but in virtue of enactments by a Jegisauve ussembiy never legally constituted, und by a board organized im detlance of the’ pro- visions of even these saine chactments, and constituted, a8 to three out of its four acting members, of one convicted perjurer and commissioned federal Olicial, ove illiterate negro proprietor and keeper ol « Degro rum sLop, aud one State oilicial, the tenure of whose petty but profitubie office was dependent on the pleasure Of the parties who were tv pruiit by the fraud perpecrated through bis instrumentality. It as also interesting to now in this conuection bow far these views have the concurrence of Carl Schurz, who ver- toinly 18a3 much entitied a8 any other man in the re- publicau purty to represent and ‘speak tor Goveruor Hayes, Discussing the political condiuion of Louisiana tn the @enate, Jauuary 11, 1875, Mr, Schurz used the following language:—"1 ‘declure iv here my solemn conviction that the conservatives of Loutsiaun did fairly carry the late election by 4 considerable inajority of votes; hut they were defrauded by the Rewuromg Board of Wwe result of that cection, and that the soi- diers of the United States, when they invaded the Legislature of Louisiana, did not vindicate, but trainpied under the Licels of lawless torce the trac will Of the people, lawiully expressed at tie poils, That ts my houest conviction.’ . And again : has not been overlooked that when, after the insurrection of the idth ef September, ar- rangemeuts were attempted in Louisiana to divest the Returning Board of ts suspicious partisan character, the leading members of the Kellogg party most strenuously objected to the admission of an equal bumber of conservatives and republicans, with one man of unimpeachable character to be chosen by them jointly to act as an umpire in the return of the votes; tous insisting for themselves upon the priviiege to count the voigs as they might chovse.”” Me. Schurz suid nothing as yet on the subject of the present Presidential perpiexities; but, unless he is prepared tu ext lis own words und thoreugoly stultily himsell, it is difficult to see how he can advocate tho acceptance by Congress of the results of the election in Louisiana es determined by a returning boara whose authority aud character he bas as above de- picted. DAVID A, WELLS, GENERAL HAMPTION. THE LEADING DEMOCRATS OF VIRGINIA Dis- SATISFIED WITH HIS COURSE—THE VINDICA- TION OF HIS FRIENDS. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Ricusono, Va, Jan, 4, 1877, The telegram of Wade Hampton to Mosby and bis letter to Hayes are disapproved by nearly all the lead- ing democrats of this State, They do not hesitate to say that Hampton blundered badly. The strong resolutions of General Bradley T. Johnson passed by the Senate, commending the course of South Carolina as worthy of imitation and declaring for a vigorous peace policy, have not been advanced one step in tho House of Delegates since Hampton's letter to Hayes ‘was published, WHAT HAMPTONS FRIENDS SAY, Tho resolutions wiil be considered in committee on Sat, urday and then Hampton’s friends wiil endeavor to vin- dicate him, In relation to Mosby, they are authorized to say that Hampton has had no communication with Mosby for several years; that when they last mot Mosby told Hamptou be Was tor Grant for President and Kemper (conservative), for Governor, and that Hampton had no dex Mosby bad since become as ob- noxious as he $8 now represented to be to the people of Virginia; aiso that the course of Hampton complevely | negatives the idea that he would bargain with the re- publicans tor selfish ends, A RAYUBLICAN PROPOSITION. It will be shown, 1 is suid, if necessury, that Judge Settle, Who was sent to South Carolina by the Atorncy General, stated on one occasion that if Hampton would announce bis beliet that Hayes had carried the State, in his (Settio’s) judgment the State government would be inellect giveu over to Hampton and that Hampton declined the proposition. The necessity of putting Hampton right before the country 18 appreciated and it wiil be dono here if pos- sibie whon the resolutions come up, THE PRESIDENTIAL COUNT. ITS METHOD CONSIDERED BY MR. MANTON MARBLE—WHAT THE CONSTITUTION IM- PLIES—-SOME FINE DISTINCTIONS, Mr. Manton Marble has written an exhaustive articlo upon the proper method of counting the electoral vote, He vays:—'The scheme of Senators Morton and Sher- man to have the President of the Senate, Mr, Ferry, count on the Lith of February the electoral vote cast on the Gth of December, if submitted to competent judges among us would be promptly condemned, But as the number is smailofmen who are already familiar with the law, history and precedents on tne subject, it i# to the few journalists that the 40,000 lawyers as well as the 10,000,000 yotors must look for the materials of « well grounded judgment upon thatscheme, The scheme w jevised because in no other possivio way can Mr, Hayes obtain a ttle to the Prestaecy than by having Mr. Ferry count—that is, enumerate and decide upon the validity of the electoral votes of the thirty-eignt States of the Union—and moreover, in passing upon their validity, deciding to apply a different rule in different States, Now, tor one, | do not beilove that the mass of republican voters wiil uphold the President of sue Senate ta this twofold wrong—usurpation of authority in counting the clec- toral yours aud injustice im counting them—any more than I believe that the mass of demueratic voters will submit tosueh usurpation and injustice.” Mr. Marble then proposes to lay bare ti baracter of the scheme tnentioned in order that everybody may comprehend tt. He quotes the twelfth amendment of the constituiion, which he considers is the basis o1 the whole business. That amoudment deviares that “the ‘NEW YORK HERALD, PRIDAY, JANUARY 5, President of the Senate shafl, in the presence of the Senate and House of mtatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted,” Mr. resolves the sul into the iuquir; Who counts the votes—the oe and House of Repre- sentatives, or the President of the Senate?” He argues:—“When the votes are ubout to be counted those two organized bodies must be in each _other’s esence in order that tho President of ihe Sena y. ‘iu the presence of tho Senato and House of Representatives, open all the cortificates,’ and they must continue so, in order that the votes muy ‘then’ be counted, Doubtless the in- ference is reasonable that the vote shall then be counted, either by the Senate, the House of Represen- tatives, the President of the Senute or the Senate and House of Representatives, to the exclusion of all otber bodies or individuals. Doubtiees, too, the wilerence is Texsonable that er the Senute nor the House of ne should count the vote, for one r title to count than the oth BOLVING THE PRORLEM, The question then remains, ls it the more rea- sonable to be inferred that ie votes shall be counted ty the Sonate and sfouse of Kepresoutatives, of by the presiding officer of the tormor body? The firat inference to be drawn 1s from the language of the con- stitution, which explicitly assigns to the President of the Senate the duty of opening the certificates, but not the duty of counting the votes. The expression of the one duty {a the exclusion of the other duty. ‘The second inference is to be drawn from the fact that neither of the.two houses can alone count the votes. ‘Nhe stronger, thon, is the reasou why no mere officer and organ of either can. ‘Tuo third inference to be drawn is from the fact that if the President ol the Senate counts the votes he may ve required to pasa upon the validity of votes cast for himsell. Now the constitution—not explicitly, indeed— vests the power over the count somewhere, though 1m- plicitly. If not in either House, if not in the presiding Officer of ene House, then implicitly, but certaiuly in the two houses. Tho vesting in tho two bouses of the power to count the electoral votes is uot more implicit than clear, The power is vested somewhere. Jt is demonstrated that none but the Senate aud House of Representatives thus met bas the nower tu count, The inferenco {a uecessary that they must count. But every candid man must admit that An authenticated, conclusive interpretation of the constitution upon this point—tbe duty and power of the two houses to count the electoral votes—is tu be Joundin the fact that about hall the fram: constitution (eighteen out of thirty-nine) were mem- bers of the first two houses of Congress, which e: ae ane Procedure that bas been iollowed from 1793 to 1873, Mr, Marble then gives a largo number of iliustra- tions of the exercixe or the affirmation of power o! the two hoases over the count, and an extract from Ap- pleton’s history of the ‘Presidential Count’ in evi- dence of the argument and deductions given above, BLAINE FOR MAINE. A BEPUBLICAN CAUCUS OF THE LEGISLATURE UNANIMOUSLY NOMINATE MB. BLAINE FOB THE UNITED STATES SENATE, Avovata, Jan. 4, 1877. Hon, James G. Blaine was nominated in tne republi- can logisiative caucus this evening for the short term in the United States Senate, and algo for the full term of six years, beginning March 4, 1877, Both nomina- tions were made by acclamation, amid a great display of enthusiasm, every one of the 140 members present rising when the question was submitted, ‘This is the first time that a candidate for United States Senatorship in Maine was ever nominated by acclamation at his first election, and this exceptional method was selected as a special and emphatic compii- ment to Mr. Blaino. His name was presented to the caucus by General Hyde, President of the Senate, sec- onded by Mr, Neally, Speaker of the House; aud sev- eral culogistic speeches were made in addition by lead- ing members of Lot branches of the Legislature MASSACHUSETTS, INAUGURATION OF GOVERNOR RICE—HIS MES- SAGE—THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE STATE. Bostox, Jan, 4, 1877. Governor Rice was inaugurated at half-past twelve o’clock and delivered his Message, which shows that the net reduction of debt during tho year has been $336,000, Last year the net incroase of debt was $4,421,260, The decrease this year is mainly to bo credited to the payment of the Union Fund Loan of $1,431,000, which was provided for by the sinking fund. The increase of tho debt bas been $1,100,000. A Btate tax of from $1,200,000 to $1,400,c00 will bo ample to meet all the expenses. This will be the smullest Stato tax raised since 1861. The Governor shows that the decresse of valuation of real and per- sonal property bas so largoly fallen off that oxtraor- dinary expenses may well be delayca till a more tavor- able time, ‘and is of opinion that the minimum of de- preciation has been reuchod, aud that we are already op the ascending plane of resumption and increase, MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE. GOVERNOR BAGLEY’S RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO THE LAKE SHORE AND MICHIGAN SOUTHERN BAILBOAD. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) LanaixG, Mich., Jan, 4, 1877, Governor Bagley in his message to the Michigan Legislature aliudes to the undervaluation of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railfoad for the purpose of State taxation, and estimates thatthe amount due the State os taxes evaded by reason of this under- valuation 18 $350,000, He recommends that suits bo begun for this amount, which he is advised is clearly collectable, He also recommends .that measures be taken to prevent future undervaluations and declares that under a just assessment that the railroad com- pany should pay $90,000 as annual taxcs, instead of 355,000, Governor Bagley further recommends the simplifica- tion of the terms of life insurance policies, the adop- tion of nonlorteiture plan and the abrogation of the clauses retusing the payment of policies 1n cases of death by insanity, suicide or drankenness, THE CONNECTICUT LEGISLATURE.
