The Nation, which is considered sound
and conservative on most questions Of pub
lie interest, is unequivocally with Mr..
Blaine in his attack upon jeff. Davis. 1t
says:
"There are good many reasons why amnesty
should be refused Jefferson Davis, and we agree
with Mr.. Blaine in thinking his moral responsible
ty for Andersonvc is one of them. Mr.. Hill of
Georgia, an ex-Confederate Senator, who replied
to Mr.. Blaine had right TO deny this RESPONSE
bty but he made great mistake in attempting
to whitewash the rebel prisons. He was address
ing men who had seen the skeletons that came
alive ont of Andersonville or had survived the
horrors of Belle Isle, and he might as well have
offered statistics to prove that there had been no
rebellion as that the names of those and other
Southern prson-camps are not justly to be forever
infamous as scenes Of needless, wanton, deyilish
inhumanity. 1t is worth while to re-
mind Congressman, too, that Writ was found
guilty by court-martia of "conspiring aud con-
federating' with Jefferson DAVIS, and others, in
the cruel treatment of Federal prisoners for which
he was hung. 1t would be simple qualification to
amnesty his military superiors, who looked upon
his conduct with Indifference or approval"

Many toilet soaps are valued for their delicate
perfume and beautiful appearance These quail
lies should rather warn the people against them,
as the oils and alkalies which produce these effects,
also produce many of the prevailing skin diseases.
To heal the diseases so contracted, or to avoid
them, use the Forest Tar Soap" made from
"Forest Tar and the purest materials. For Salt

ORFGoN's ELECTORAL YoTE.-A special
telegraph states that the Oregon Presidential
electors met at Salem on Wednesday, the
9th, and cast the vote of that State for Presi-
dent and Vice President. DIR. Watts, one OF
the candidates on the republican ticket, being
Ineligible, the highest candidate on the
democratic ticket was awarded a seat in the
electoral college. This made the vote OF
Oregon stand for Tilden and for Hayes.
This action of Gov. Grover and Secretary
Chadwick may be c4lled in question, but not
by republicans who have approved of the
Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina out
RACES. Ii it was right for Hayes and his
supporters to steal nineteen democratic elec-
toral votes in the SOuth, there can DO no
great harm in the democrats capturing d
single vote in Oregon. Chickens will come
home to roost."

Suppose that this Intervention of military power

thOrity shouH happen to be exerted IN Louisiana or
any of the States for the purpose Of taking out
the majority OF an electoral college when tLey
choosing the President or suppose that if by sub
verting the vote OF that State, one should be
chosen instead of the other, who would have been
ehnsen if the State had voted without being acted
upon by that authority, what have you then but

question of dispute eover the Presidency All, you
VIII never have that" you say, " because We have
that courage AMI that common sense of the Ameri-
people, which make free government possible and
permanent and strong. Let anybody take step"
you VIII say, that surpasses the far limits of polit
cal competition aud political agitation, and tie Pres
dent who t4kes his seat under such title shall have
nothing Iut curses and Imprisonment, and not the

THE OREGON ELECuoN.-Exeited patti
sans are wasting much useless Indignation
over the sction of Governor Grover in issuing
certificates to the Oregon electors The law
governing the case has been decided over and
over again. The constitution declares DR..
Watts Ineligible About this point there is
no controversy. The English, from whom
we derive our whole theory of government,
hold that votes cast for an Ineligible candi.
date count for nothing-tbat is, no votes at all
Substantially then DR.. Watts name was out
of the canvass, and Governor Grover by his
oath of office was Obliged 10 issue certificates
to the three highest candidates. This was
his action, and after all the fuss about it, the
vote will stand, and Samuel ]. Tilden will
be duly iuaugurated President of the United
States. In this particular case. the election
will not only be in accordance with the pro-
visions Of law, but it will have the addition
al argument in its favor that it is in accor-
dance with the popular voice. On the popu-
lar vote TiIder has 100000 majority over
Hayes, and yet We hear Indignant patriots
talk about tho enormity Of overriding the
will of the peoplel Casting Oregon one
small vote for TiIden is carrying out the will
of the people, and places in the Presidential
chair the man who has the popular endorse
ment.

The GoREp Ox.-It makes a great differ.
ence who~e OK is gored. The republican
leaders could steal electoral votes in South
Carolina; votes in Louisiana, and 4 votes
in Florida. The electoral votes of these three
States-l9 in all-were clearly and distinct
ly cast for Tilden, bat the radicals counted
them for Hayes. This was all we'll enough,
and democrats were counselled to submit.
But now it happeus that under the law a
Hayes elector 10 Oregon is Ineligible, snd
forthwith We have bowling and lsmeptation
over the enormity Of casting this one vote fo,
Tilden. As long as the democratic OK WAS
gored, it was all right; but when the same
kind Of medicine is administered to the re.
publican bovine, the offence is rank and
smells 10 heaven" This is all very we'll.
Oar republican friends should be permitted
to vent their pent up passion, as otherwise
there would be an explosion. In The mean
time the affairs of the country will 90 on as
usual. Grants term will finally come TO an
end, and at the proper time the Chief Justice
will administer the oath Of office to Samuel

duties of Chief Magistrate of this great
