VICE PRESIDENT ELECT WHEELER
has been too i'll to appear in his seat In
the House. Mr.. Wheeler has borne with
great compOsure the uncertainty OF the
Presidential contest, and expresses his
belief that the election Of Gov. Hayes
has been honestly obtained, and that all
the people will acquiesce in his inaugu-
ration.
THE Governor Of Oregon acted contra
ry to law in giving certificate to Gro
min, the Democratic elector. The Louisi-
ana Returning Board acted i'm accordance
with the law in giving the certificates to
the Republicans. Yet the Democrats try
to pretend that the Oregon case and the
Louisiana case are exactly alike and stand
on the same footing.
MR.. BEN. III. HILL is q sore trial to the
Democracy. He not only refuses to IA
vor the party's pet schemes. but he talks
open treason. Instead Of wailing that

WADE HAMPTON has gone through the
motions of pretending to be inaugurated
Governor OF South Carolina, though he
has not been declared Governor by the
Legislature. nor by any other lawful au-
thority, but only by pretended, bogus
House. He is only recognized by the
bogus House. He has not even a pre-
tended Senate. The legal Senate, AS well
as the legal House. recognizes Chamber
lain rs Governor. The United States Gov
eminent recognizes Chamberlain as Gov
ernor. Wade Hampton and John Nc
Emery can now organize themselves into
party of two. Hampton intends mis-
chief, but the United States Government
will see to it that he does not put on too
many airs.
