Elected,

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 6.-The accounts
as yet received here concerning the elect
oral vote of Oregon, are conflicting. The
Daily Stock Exchanges extra this morning
prints the following:
PORTLAND, Dec. 6.-Governor Grover
to-day issued certificates to 1.-TWO Hayes
electors and one Tilden elector, Cronin,
The Hayes electors refused to meet with
Cronin. whereupon the latter, who held all
the certificates, appointed two Republicans
to act in their places. The two whom he
appointed, met with him, received their
certificates, and then all voted for presi-
dent, two for Hayes, and Cronin for Tilden.
The Bulletin has the following special
from Portland: A dispatch from Salem
says the secretary of state has given Gro
min. Democratic ,elector. having the high
est number of votes. the certificates. The
two Republican electors refused to act
with him, and assembled and supplied the
vacancy. The Republicans voted for
Hayes. Cronin appointed two Democrats
to act with him, and cast the vote of the
state for Tllden.
A Post special from Salem says, at noon
to-day, the secretary of state delivered to
Cronin, Democratic candidate for elector
contesting seat of Watts. postmaster, the
certificate of appointment of an elector.
which is evidence that Governor Grover
has ousted Watts. The six electoral candi-
dates then assembled in the committee
room of the senate chamber After half
an hour, one of the Republican electors,
/ w. III. Odell, came out and went to the
Office of the secretary of state to demand q
certified copy of the certificate, for i,
seems the certificate included the name OF
| K. A Cronin, Democrat, and w. H.ODell
and j. G. Cartwright, Republicans, andgas
the latter demanded to see and hold the
certificate. and Cronin refused to let them
have it, nothing could be DONE About
this time Cronin LETT the room where the
electors were assembled, and took stroll
down town.
LATER-The story, further goes that
when the electors were met, Odell and
cartwright refused to act with Cronin,
whereupon Cronin declared vacancy and
elected j. N. I. Miller and H. Parker tx
fill the places of the electors, and the vote
being taken, Croniu voted for Tilden and
Hendricks, and the two others tor Raye,
and Wheeler. Cartwright and Odell frs
accepted the resignation of Elector Watts
and then elected him to fill the vacancy
and cast the vote of the state for Haye
and Wheeler. There is great excitement

swHAT GOV. HENDRICKS SAYS.
He Hopes Congress Will DolJustice Accord
ing to the Laws and Constitution.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. THE Journal
publishes an interview with Gov. Hend-
ricks on the situation, He thinks the action
of the returning board in Florida, South
Carolina, and Louisina not in accordance
with the laws of those states or of the
federal constitution, but hopes congress
will do justice and assert the true spirit of
the constitution. He does not believe the
vice president can declare who is elected,
or that the two houses of congress are
simply witnesses as to the counting,
furnishing tellers to certify to correct
reading of the ballots. He relies upon the
twenty-second Joint rule. which, he con-
tends, has been 10 operation since 1858, 8,and
declares it to be the legislative inter
probation of the constitution especially in
tended for such crisis as the present;
admits the possibility of the house de
claring Tilden president and the senate
declaring Hayes president and that such a
crisis would be of most serious character
and entail upon all the parties the gravest
responsibility. He declined any state
ment as to his recent meeting with Gov.
| Tilden.

JOHN SHERMAN Cos PARTIZAN RE
POET FROM LOUISIANA.
It is Laid on The Table.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec, 6.-After
the report of the Republican Louisiana
visiting committee had been read in the
house, Fernando Wood denounced the
president for sending 1t to the house, and
moved that it be laid on the table, instead
of being referred to a committee. This
was carried-153 to 80.
Mr.. Wood expressed surprise at such
a, message from the president. 1t was
extraordinary and unprecedented. The
president in spite of his eight years ex-
periences had seen proper to send to the
house this unauthorized communication
from persons with no official position.
The presidents only motive must be to
suggest that the house had authority to
institute c3reful inquiry into the presi-
dental selection in advance of the regular
presentation of that great subject. Mr..
Wood objected to the message as par
tizan affair.

its principal theatre bY fire, and conse-

Up to noon to-day 3l5 bodies had been re-
moved. Of these, SO are identified, some
by remnants of clothing remaining, others
by watches, chains and such articles, but
few by features. Actors Claude Bur

the identified.
What are accepted as the bodies of the
