One Of the funniest things about the
Journal is that every single member of
the Worthington Ring is at work for
the paper, and going about denying that
1t Is a. Ring organ! Every where the
cloven foot sticks out and the claws of
the bear are seen under the sheep skin.
Not Ring organ, indeed! They told
us last fall they would have another
paper just as soon as they could start
one; they beat and drummed. along our
streets for two weeks soliciting patron
age for the new paper and crying down
the ADVANCE; they offered to endorse
for it and to see. it through; they are
giving it county printing contrary to
the instructions of their superiors, and
yet It is not a Ring organ! AS a legiti-
mate newspaper enterprise. the Jour-
nal can no more stand upright than an
empty bag. 1t is III of1ice-seekers' Or
gan. Its motto should be, sour soul
is our own, subject always to the Wor-
thington< Ring!''.. r

Bogy, of Missouri, carries a flowing
red handkerchief as large as small

which they with difficulty answer.

learned Senator from "Ohio "Grannv

uttered a word in any of the impor-
tant topics that have been discussed
since the commencement of the pres.
ent session of Congress. He says it
becomes new member to be modest.
Senators Merrimon and McCreery
wear swallow tail coats and are never
seen in anything else than broad
cloth. Senator Bayard rarely inter
rupts a member when speaking, 10
ask question. Senator Mcdonald
of Indiana, is accustomed topersecu.
ting Republicans with pertinent IN
quiries while speaking. Thurman
uses snuff. Senator Bayard is known
as constitutional Bayard." Senator

fetal, and deciding as to its ''regu.
larity.' Even if the famous 22d
Joint Rule is not in force, the fact
that Congress assumed to pass such
a rule shows what powers were asser-
ted to be in possession of Congress.
And now this is the dilemma: If
Congress accepts the Official vote
claiming any rightto go behind such
vote, Mr.. Tilden is President. If
Congress does claim the right Of
passing upon the validity or equity
Eof an "official'' vote from one State,
I it admits the right to revise the re-
turns from Louisiana, and this privi-
lege the Democratic House would not
be inclined to waive. Again, if the
case is taken into tue Oregon Courts
and there decided IN favor of the
three Republican electors, and

Congress is called upon to accept as
final the decision Of these courts, the
Democracy will be prepared to check
mate this move with a decision of the
Supreme Court OF South Carolina.
If the vote of any State is thrown
out altogether, it will be an interest
ling question whether a majority of
the recognized and counted, or a ma
jority of the full college. Finally,
as votes have been cast for only two
ieandi dates, would it be competent
for the House to elect?-since the
contingency contemplated in the
Twelfth Amendment evidently pre-
supposes n failure to elect when there
are three or more candidates.

OF THE DILEMMA THROW

To the Editor Of the Tribune -
SIR-Is it not true that Mr.. Tilden
holds apr5ma .tacie majority in the
Electoral College? There seems to
be no "irrenularity" in the action of
the Governor of Oregon. The votes
so far as appears from the dispatches
this morning, we're canvassed by the
Secretary of State, as by law, provi-
ded in the presence of the Governor.
There is enough conflict in the deci.
sions Of English and American courts
to make it question whether the
vote for an ineligible candidate rem
ders the election void or elects the
opposing candidate. The Governor
and Secretary of State decided to de-
clare in favor of one Democratic and
two Republican electors, and their
votes under the broad seal of the
State, hove been forwarded to Wash
ington. Of course this is in opposi-
ton to the expressed will Of the peo-
pie, who have pronounced at the polls
for solid Republican delegation. -
But the three men whom the people
thought they had chosen have no
regular official certificates, and "what
are we going to do about it," Who
is to assume the authority Of sub
shutting the vote which is admitted
to be the honest expression of the
maj ority in Oregon for the divided
vote which comes before Congress
under the sanction of legal and con.
stitutional forma!ity? Certainly no,

Dec. II, 1861
The publication by Grant, pretend
ing to give an account of his inter-
views with Messrs. Hewitt and Ran.
doIph, is well known to be essential
ly false, and will probably be CONTRA
dicted by those gentlemen. The
publication shows, as all know here,
that Grant is ready to go all lengths.
He is as eager and rampant for war
as Boutwell,. Military preparations
have been going on for months
Sometime before the election Gov.
liartranft, Of Pennsylvania, whose
cooperation is deemed specially i'm
portant, was summoned here to con-
suit in reference to the military pre-
parations for the coup detat. He
went home to organize Pennsylva-
MIA. He now reports to the Presi.
dent that he has sixty-four thousand
infantry we'll armed and proper
tionate force of artillery and cavalry.
A portion Of the officers are Demo
Gratis, but he says that they were all
commissioned by him, and that he
has assurances from them that they
will obey his orders. While the
Congress and jurists are discussing
the legal technicalities of counting
the vote, Grant is quietly and ac-
lively making ready to decide the
question by the army. 1t is given
out that all this preparation is to in
augurate Hayes, no matter what the
House may say or do; but there are
some indications that he may strike
a blow for himself. 1t has trans
pired already that there is consid-

tunity favorable for a third term,
