Washington, Dec. 80. - The House
met at noon, and adjourned imme-
diately to Wednesday next, owing TO
the want of a quorum.
The Oregon Investigation.
Washington, Dec. 30--The Senate
committee to day proceeded with the
investigation of the Oregon case.
w. II. Odell testified that after the
Republican electors had asked Cronin
for certificates of their election several
times, Cronin replied that they might
as well understand first as last that he
would not give them. Witness coun-
selled with lawyers, and was of opinion
that Cronin had no rights as an elector,
and witness refused to act with Cronin
unless the latter should produce his
authority to act. Cronin then left the
part of the room in which the college
was in session, and the college organ
lied and cast its votes for Hayes and
Wheeler. Tie witness regarded Gro
min as an nnpostor; and the action of
Governor Grover in issuing II eertiti-
cate to Cronin as an Outrage and nasty
business.
Cartwright, another Republican cleo
tor, corroborated Mr.. Odell.
DIR. Watts account didn't differ ma
teffaiiy fsvM. Cartwriglt's.
Secretary Chadwick was recalled, and
testified concerning the loeation of the
rooms in the state house and other Mat
tiers of detail.
Gastell, chairman of tie Republican
state committee of Oregon, testified
that lie knew nothing of Watts ineli-
gibility until after the election.
Miscellaneous Matters.
Washington Dec. 30.-Judge Stanley
Matthews has officially declared that he
will contest Banning's election to the
House from Cincinnati. Matthews has
abundant evidence of frauds to over
come Banning's majority of SO.
1t is believed the w. U. kilograms
have not been destroyed but removed
to some distant place out OF the imme-
date custody of the company.
The secret service has discovered a
very dangerous thousand dollar coun-
terfeit.
The Senate committee on counting
the electoral votes didn't meet to-day.
All statements as to the probable
agreement or disagreement Of this
committee have been and must be for
the present wholly conjectural.

ger train, which is approaching Belle

tecting the railroad employees In the en-
desvor to clear the line. The eastern

Union Men 10 the Front.

The Chicago Times of the Goth pub
fishes the address Spurious, probably
of the National Union League of llli-
nois. said to be in secret circulation
throughout the State. The document
is signed by the grand secretary and is
headed by Robert Ingersoll as presi-
dent. 1t states that another crisis in
the affairs OF our country is approach
ing, threatening no less danger to the
liberties of its citizensthan that of 1861;
we believe it is time when patriots and
lovers of the Union should be OF guard,
remembering that in union is strength.
A call is made on all patriots in every
city and town throughout the State to
organize for the defense and protection
of our sacred institutions. By prompt
action there can. within the next sixty
days, be enrolled in the State not less
than one hundred thousand National
Union Leaguers. The veterans of the
late war are earnestly invited to active
ly cooperate with other loyal citizens
in promoting and perfecting the propo-
sed organization. The document
closes by saying, the necessary papers
for. organization will be forwarded on
application.

have been to the effect that few discreet
Democrats should attend all Republican
meetings for the purpose Of observation;
the rascal who attended the Shreveport
meeting exceeded his limits, and acted as
q Democrat unwashed and untrammeled.
However much intolerant Democrats may
desire to see Republican meetings broken
up, the meanness of the assault on Gen.
eral Wharton can scarcely meet with gen.
eral favor in the assaulting party. We
are told that the meeting held in the
afternoon was largely attended, and that
Mr.. Packard, Judge Campbell and
others were allowed to finish their
speeches. In the evening Democrat
sneaks up, like the famous assassinating
mysterious stranger" under the cover
of night, throws stone and wounds the
speaker who is telling plain Republican
truths to his fellow-citizens. The speaker
would give them bread and they gave
him a stone. General Wharton was q
gallant Confederate soldier, born in the
South of distinguished and honorable
family. The craven coward who assaulted
him was most likely classed among the
poor white trash before the war; perhaps
a deserter from General Wharton's regi-
ment, or one of the standard bearers who
took to the swamps to avoid military SER
vice. In Louisiana the good service of one
man or the Sinking cowardice Of another
has no weight in the political scales. The
infamous and beastly Ward, of Grant par
ish, or "Dear Sir" Robert Metz, now COR
responding with Mr.. Nichols, is more
loved by Louisiana Democrats than is
General Longstreet. The age of chivalry
has been superseded by blackguard row.
dyism. No man can become too black or
too degraded to receive the right hand Of
fellowship in the Democratic brother
hood.
The Republican speakers at Shreveport
ought to feel thankful that they were not
all killed. The disposition to kill them
all manifested itself when the stone was
thrown. All honor is due to Hon. Aleck
Boarman for his haste to denounce the in
suit and his efforts to preserve the peace.
He had the courage to tell his people that
every Democratic insult offered to Repub-
ican speakers only served to make Re-
publican voters. He spoke for the better
class of citizens, and spoke truly, though
We regret that the head of General
Wharton should receive the blow
which hopelessly splits the Democratic
party in Caddo. The report of the Re-
publican meeting broken up and the
speaker insulted, assaulted and wounded
at Shreveport will get abroad. 1t does
not condemn the whole Democratic party;
but it looks bad and is bad for Shreve-
port. 1t adds another to the long
list of Democratic outrages; it adds an
other shadow to the cloud of Democratic
intolerance which hovers over the chill
dren Of Louisiana by night and by day,
keeping light and wisdom from the mis-
guided people of this State.
