Conservative stance on Electoral Commission debate
The text contrasts two sides in the Electoral Commission debate, labeling supporters of the commission as revolutionary and opponents as conservative. It argues the commission was a novel, unjustified method with no constitutional warrant, while defenders of traditional vote counting defend the existing constitutional framework and oppose drastic change. The piece cites New York commentary and emphasizes preservation of the established process.

Cockrell Reiterates on Grant Pension Debate in Senate
The Republic taxon reports the Senate debated the Shields bill, with a 34 to 30 defeat, and an amendment to retire Grant carried but failed the bill, amid exchanges between Cockrell Kirkwood and others. Davis and Oglesby opposed the pension amendment, while Cockrell and Armstrong supported the bill as amended. The Pike county court was asked to levy a tax to pay a $3,400 judgment, but the court refused, pushing creditors toward a mandamus. The pension committees proposed abolishing agencies and paying pensions from the national treasury by checks. Also notes New Orleans Exposition figures for 1877-78: 5,125,654 bushels of rye.
