The final outrage in Louisiana and Florida completes the work already done in South Carolina. The republican conspirators have stolen the votes of three States which the! people refused to Hayes | and Wheeler, ‘and with. this fraudulent vote they hoped to retain control of the. Government for the next four years. That it has failed of success makes no difference. They have committed the crime, and must suffer its penalties, whether the party secures its frrhits' or not; The only .issue now is that of the ballot-box.| What other, higher issue can there be? - Can wé stop to consider Civil Service Reform when the civil service, which the people have' declared needs Reform, is per‘petnated by a fraud in the counting of votes? - Can we stop to think about-hard-money and specie payments when the national credit is blasted by a robbery greater than that of repudiation?- Do net-the far-seeing observers of Europe know that men who will steal votes will repudiate debts anid default in interest? Can we stop to consider any of the ordinary issues that divide parties when the very citadel of our liberties has been attacked and taken ® at'is the use of splitting hairs over poluts of governmental policy whejbil:(fldest conceivable attempt is made to take from us the right of deciding what that gov-‘ernment-shall be?

S e f—— A CONSTITUTIONAL MAJORITY.

The electoral vote of Oregon determines the election of Tilden and Tendricks, giving them 185 votes, the constitutional majority. -~ The proceedings of the ‘electoral college of Oregdn: were strictly in accordance with the laws of that State, and the vote was cast and certified according to law. b TR S

If, as has been claimed by the Repu:‘blican_s, Congress has no power to. go behird the returns from the several States, then Tilden and Hendricks must be declared ¢lected, by the VicePresident. If, on the other hand, the Senate and Ifouse of Representatives determine that they have tue right, to 20 be_hin‘d‘kthe ‘certified vote of the State of «Ot‘e'ggn, then-they must look into the validity of the vote as certified from the States of Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida. In that case, as the actual vote in all three States was: cast for Tilden and Hendricks, Congress must . decide that the electoral vote of those States be given as the majority of the people voted, thus electing Tilden and Hendricks by 204 instead of 185 votes. =~

. THE OREGON ELECTORS. , The ‘Governor of each State issues a certificate of election containing the names-.of the. Presidential electors “appointed” for that State. The names are all contained in one certificate. " The. assertion that the democratic elector of Oregon refused to deliver the Governor’s certificate to the republican electors is therefore false. There is but one certificate in, each State, and that contains the names of the electors declared by the Governor to have been legally elected. In Oregon, as that State is entitled to three electors, the, certificate contains thrée names. The republican electors withdrew from the place where they had metito ,receive{the _certificate. The elector who remained therefore filled the vacancies caused by absence of the other electors, as he was bound by law to do. e A ‘ .

THAT GRAND MORAL lIERO, .GOV. Wade Hampton, in a speech delivered in Carolina Hall, Charléston, on the sth inst., gave utterance to the following words: “1 am sup ported.by the property owners of the State, and by good men of all classes. - "Two months ago I said I would submit my claims before the people of South Carolina, and if elected governor that by the eternal God I would have my place, since when, in spite of frands and falsehoods, all.the powers of the State government and bayonets of the President, Grant, I have been, by 75,060 white men and 17,000 colored men chosen to be governor of the State of south Carolina, and governor I will .be. The ballot-box has announced the verdict of the people, and I will be their governor, or they shall have a military government.” -

. CHAMBERLAIN, the fellow whom ‘the people of South Carolina repudiated at the recent election, had himself “inaugurated” as Governor a few days since.. The judge whois designated by law to.administer ‘the oath of office, knowing that ChamWerlain was not elected, refused to officiate at this bogus inauguration, which necessitated the passage of an act by the rump legislature authorizing somebody else to administer the oath:— ?uch is carpet-baggery in South Care-. ina.- . . :

i GOV BTRARNSE. < 'ln order that our republican friends may know exactly what sort of a fellow it is that was chiefly instrumental in securing the electoral vote of ¥lorida for Hayes and Wheeler, we herewith present an extract from a speech delivered on the Bth of last March -in Congress by Hon. W. J. Purman, a republican congressman from Flerida: )

“In 1872 this man (M. L, Stearns) was pressed forward by one .of our then United States Senators for the republican nomination of Governor, but his want of learning and calibre and his unpopular record were of such a character that the [eonvention rebelled, bot# against his master, the Senator; . and the tocl that was to be foisted upon the party, and in this opposition it was my fate to bear no insigfiificant part.© My vehement objections then were based upon thelack of qualifications, he being a man with very limited education, with no reputable associations, without sagacity or knowledge, with ‘no fixed principles execept those of avarice and stupidity.

- It was then well known and substantiated that while this'now acting Governor was agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau in the State he swindled che Freedmen out of quantities of - provisions which the Government charitably contributed in those unsettled days to keep from starvation the then newly freed people, a portion of which he from time to time sold for moiiey to planters, thus shamefully swindling both a beneficent Government and the deserving and suffering objects of this ' beneficent kindness. This record was too damaging for him to obtain the- coveted nomination of Governor, and Dby some injudicious compromise he was at that time noiminated for Lieutenant Governor.

. What strange, fantastics tricks does destiny play with States as well as with individuals! Who could then have divined that providence had in store for us the infliction of this obesity of ‘Thcompetence as our future ‘Governor? - The unfortunate death of ‘GGov. Hart, in 1874, precipitated this ‘phlegmatic incubus upon our State; and as South Carolina once had its Moses, and New York its Tweed, so. Florida has now its Stearns.”

: It’s Too Thin. ! It is a favorite line of argument with the Radicals to say that the shot gun in the hands of ex-rebels changed the aforetime radical majorities in the South to democratic ones. There is no. force in it, as will readily ‘appear from a contemplation of the following facts cited by the Columbus. Democrat: ” : /| :

In 1872 Indiana gave the republican cundidate for the Presidency ‘more than 21,000 majority, Was it the shot gun that converted that majority: o 5,450 against the I}adicals in the last election? . Was it the shot gun ‘that reduced the republican majority ‘in Pennsylvania by more than 118,000 votes in four years? Was it the shot gun that’ bulldozed Ohio ofiabout 27,£OO of her :34,000 majority of 18727 “Was it a shot gun that influenced a change of 17,000 votes in West Virginia against the Republicans—changing a republican majority of 2143 to a demoeratic majority of 17,0007 In -short was it a shot gun, oreven a whole armory full of deadly weapons; from a Colt’s pistol up toa whole wood’s, full of masked batteries, that changed Grant’s popular majority of more than 700,000 to a democratic majority of over 800,000 in four short years,—a.change of nearly a million of votes? We are inclined to think the shot gun about as weak an invention te account for the echange in public i ieptimenvt, as-an argument could well @ . ‘ ' -

To the Editor of the Sun : Sir: The following appears in the 77ibune: There has been a good deal of Scripture quoted on Gov. Tilden -during the campaign, but no question has fitted better.than the following from the third chapter of first Samuel: “And Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, ‘Here am I, for thou didst call me.”. And he answered, ‘I called not, my son; lie down again.’....So Samuel went and lay down ‘in his place.” | - G © By referring to this chapter (entitled “The Lord called Samuel)” you iwill see that while Eli did not, that the Lord did, call Samuel.

That One Yote From Oregon. oV, Grover's Reasons for Giving '+ -the Electoral Certificate v ~ tecremin. i o Oe, Or., Dec. 7, 1876, To the Editor bf the Herald: e At your request I give you some of" the grounds for. my.aEtiGn in granting certificates to electors in Oregon: ‘The laws of Oregon require the Governor togrant certificatestoelectors du1y elected. !In taking his oath of office the Governor is sworn to support the Constitution of the United States and | of this State. In:the election of President and Vice-President. the Constitution of the United States is the paramount law. That instrument deéclares that no person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States shall be appointed an elector. John W. Watts, one of the electers voted for in Oregon, was on the seventh day of November holding an office of - profit and trust under the United States, to wit, postmaster at. Fayette, the county seat of Yamhill county, and had so held that office for more than three years. Many more than the number of voters constituting his majority had actually passed in and out of his office on official busine:s. His official character was generally known, and was ‘mentioned duging the political discussion of the canvass. The law was known and the fact was known - rendering him disqualified to be an elector. = A protest was filed in the Executive office, by prominent citizens, objecting to the issuance of a certificate to - Watts, as a 'person disqualified, accompanied ¥by- proof of his disqualifi--cation and demanding that the same issue to the eligible person having the - next highest number of votes. - A reply was filed, objecting to anything but a count of the votes, and a certificate on the count, and making no denial of the disqualifying facts. It was ruled, in the case, that where the objection ‘to an .applicant’s right to Teceive a certificate rests ‘'upon the ground that a’' constitutional prohibitign is ‘interposed the Governor, acting under oath to support the Cons'gtution; is bound to entertain and determine the question; not only that, but is to determine in such a way as to enforee the constitutional mandate. to the extent of his executive power. Itiwas also held that, the law and the fact being well known, the votes cast for the ineligible candidate cannot be gounted for any pirpose, and the eligible candidate having the next highest number of votes was duly elected. This ruling was based upon standard authorities, such as .Cushing and Grant; the decisions of many courts, like-the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals of New York, the latter uniform practice in the United States House of Representatives, and the great weight of English authorities, both Parliamentary'and judicial, /- . The law of Oregon providing for filling vacancies in ‘the Electoral Colleges recognizes a vacancy only in cases where there has been an incumbent and such incumbent has died, refused to act, neglected to attend or is otherwise absent. In this case there was no incumbent, unless the next highestcandidate should take the position, and there was no vacancy which could be filled-by the other members of the Electoral College. The next highest candidate eligible, under the Constitution of the United States was, therefore, certified to be duly elected. i S .+ L. F.

DiscoNTINUED.—The Chicago and Erie line from Chicago to New York, via. Auburn and the B. & O.,has with the inauguration of_ the .new winter time card been discontinued. ‘' The roads inferested with the B. & O, were the Bee Line, Atlantic & Great Western and Erie railroads. The line was intended as a through passenger route from Chicago to New York, the Erie and B. & O. having by far the greatest interest at stake, while the other companies hauled the cars but a short distance over their roads. The Pullman 'sleeping car company was also inter‘ested, and the cars were run through without. change from Chicago to the seaboard. -The withdrawal of its cars from the new route leaves the Pull'man cempany out of the field on all 'the northern lines to New York.

. SWINDLE. IT TURNS UP ONCE MORE. Important Ruling by Judge Gresham, - An important decision was rendered by Judge Gresham, in. the United Stdtes distriet court, one day last week, in the case of W. S. Lamb, assignee of the Winnesheik Insurance Company, vs. Boston Bowser. Itis a test case, and the decision affects about 400 suits of a similar nature.’ An Indianapolis paper thus epitomizes the case: “It is an action brought by the assignee of the Winnesheik Insurance Company on a premium note. The answer alleges that the Winnesheik Insurance Company was organized under the laws of Illinois; that the defendant delivered to the agent of the company, in Noble county, Indiana, where thedefendant resides, an application for insurance oncertain property in that’county, said . note and a certain amount of money, which note and money constituted the premium; that said agent torwarded sai@ application, note and money to the company’s place of business -at Freeport, in the State of Illinois, and caused a policy of insurance to be delivered to the defendarfi&t said county of Noble, all of which*was done by - said company and agent without first having complied with an act of the Legislature of this State respecting foreign corporations and their agents doing business in this. State. The reply admits that the application and premium note were delivered toithe agent in Noble county, and by him forwarded to the company’s usual place of business at Freeport, Illinois, and then alleges that the authority of the agent extended no further than the taking of the application and premium notes and forward them to the ‘home office at Freeport, to be examined and acted upon by the company; that the application and premium note in this case were examined by the proper officer of the company at Freeport, and by him there approved and accepted, and a policy 0f insurance on the property 'described in fhe application, properly made out and executed, was then: and there enclosed in an envelope, addressed to the defendant at his residence in said Noble dounty, and deposjted-in the mail at Freeport, postpaid. - 8

“To that reply the defendant 'demurs. Judge Gresham holds that when the company accepted the ap--plication and premium note at Freeport and deposited the policy of insurance in the postoffice, addressed to the defendant, postpaid, the contract was complete, and the note became the binding obligation of the defendant. ‘Then and not beforé the minds of the parties met. Ulp to that time neither party was bound. Before that time the defendant might have withdrawn his application and demanded the return ofethis note. The mailing of the policy at Freeport was a, delivery to the defendant. ' The instant that delivery was thus made the risk of the company as-issuer commenced. "The Winnesheik Insurance company, being a/foreign corporation, could aet in this State only by agents, and agents of such corporations being expressly prohibited by the statue from making any contracts or transacting any ordinary business in this State, except as therein provided, it would seem &that the company, as well as the agents, acted in violation of law in establishing the agency in Noble county, and in taking and in forwarding the application and premium note, and for thus violating the law of the State the agent might haye been prosecuted and punished. But it does not follow that because the company and its agent thus violated the law of Indiana the contract entered intoin Illinois was illegal’ ‘and void. The case stands just as if ‘the defendant had procured his insurance on personal application to the company at Freeport. But the defendant insists that even if this be regarded as an Illinois contract it'was, entered into in violation of the Indiana statute, and cannot, therefore, be enforced in this State. In answer to this it might be sufficient to: say that it is not competent for the legislature _of Indiana to declare that the citizens of this State shall not be allowed to make such contracts as they please out of the. State for the insurance of their property, whether it be within or without the State. Demurrer overruled. Defendant excepted to the ruling of the court, and appealed to the circuit court of the United States for the district of Indiana? = .

The present status of William M. Tweed is not generally understood. In 1873; when he was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment,in as many different courts, and to pay a fine of $12,550, dnd confined on Blackwell Island, an appeal was taken and the verdict set aside by the court of appeals because the court below had exceeded its powers in its cumulative sentence and he was ordered to be released. =ln the meantime a suit had been instituted against him to recover six millions of dollars, and he was required 'to give bail in the sum of three million dollars. He was arrested immediately on his release from Blackwell Island, and being unable to give the required bond, was confined in Ludlow Street Jail, from which he escaped some months ago, but was captured and returned to his old quarters a few weeks ago. . g

Besides the above amount sold, the same cow has supplied the family with butter, and this with quite a Jlarge number of comers and goers during the' past season. We set that ‘cow down as a profitable one, and such as can hardly he outdone in this ‘country. Who'll report one more profitable - than that' .owned by Mr. Eby, at Bristol 2—Elkhartcßeview. -

~ The family of .Dr. Newton, of this village, has met with a terrible offliction during the last week. ‘Last week they buried a. lovely little girl of ten years, the light and joy of the family circle. = This weeK, they lay away in the silent tomb their only remaining child, a bright, darling little fellow of four years, and Mrs. Newton is also quitesick. Indeed,the measure of their sorrow is full.. They surely do receive the symipathy of their neighbors and friends-in the trying ordeal thro’ which they are called to pass.—Lugrange Register. i : .

James, Chapman was tried on a charge of perjury, and found guilty by a jury, who assessed his punishment at imprisonment in the county jail for two months, A motion for a new trial was over-ruled, and he was committed on Friday last. Mr. Chapman is:an old man, a farmer, and one of the earlier settlers of the county. He became financially embarrassed, a year or so ago, and it -was’in making affidavit’ to a s¢hedule of property to be exempt from execution, that perjury was charged. This is the first case in which":flm charge of . perjury has been sustained in this county for many years. Indeed, we do not know of any before. It would not do to say that more such charges oug;ht not to have been preferred and sustained, but it is the experience of all courts that no charges are harder to sustain in proof and law than that of perjury. This case, though, shows that the law can be made to reach such an offense. —Lagrange Standard. : o
