Bux"-Z Rochon, whose arrival with sixty
 five Spanish and French Merino bucks from Cali fornia We mentioned last week, has brought three of the animals to town as a sample, and from personal examination, both of the sheep and the wool, we have no hesitation iu saying that they are superior to anything in their line We have hlherto seen in the Territory. Few men on the Pacific coast or elsewhere have had a wider experience in the stock business than Mr Rochon, and, having been in Arizona before, he has selected ihess sheep with special reference to the climate, pasturage etc, and believes he has jus, the article the sheep men need to improve their focks Rochon came to this coast in ls46, and has been constantly engaged in the cattle and sheep business ever since covering a period of thirty years-aud ought to know what is requir- ed.

Election Notes.

The question of the electoral vote of South
Carolina is not involved in the contest now
waging there. That has been declared and
nothing but some revolutionary proceeding
could changeit it.
General Morgan, the senator elect from
Alabama, Is an ex-Confederate. He gained
his prominence in politics by his management
of the case against Senator Spencer, who was
accused last winter of having secured his
election to the United States Senate by cor
rupt means.
"When it comes to be known" remarks
the Cincinnati Commercial, ''if it is 10 be,
that Governor Hayes is President ii viii be
well for the Southerners to scan thoughtfully
what he said in his letter of acceptance ABOUT
them and their affairs. They may get COM
fortably over their mad in the process"
II the Democrats, North and South, were
half as anxious to punish the perpetrators
of political outrages as they are to discredit
them and explain them away, there would
soon be an end TO murders for political opin-
ions sake.
In Wisconsin and in Michigan the State
constitutions declare. that no person elected

void In each of these states judge in Office

Republican. 1t is said that the Democrats
will seek to increase their msjorities in the
next House OF Representatives by holdiug
that the seats of these members are vacant
The Republicans, however, maintain that 1t
has been many times decided that no state
by its.Constitution can add TO Ior take from
the qualification of member OF Congress as
fixed by the Constitution of the United
States. This poin: was made In the case of
Senator Trumbull of Illinois both at the time

EX-SENATOR FooTE, of Mississippi, who is
considered pretty good lawyer, does not ap-
plaud the conduct of the South Carolina
usurping Court. He says in regard to the
powers of the canvassing board:
The Constitution of the United States in the
most explicit manner invests each of the states
with full power to appoint Presidential electors
in such mode as they shall choose The tri-
bunal established by them, by whatever name
called, for the purpose of canvassing or scru-
tnizing the votes cast for electors, unless there
shall be some appeal from its decision, must of
necessity have exclusive and final power over
the subject, and no other tribunal on earth can
possibly have authority to rejudge such de-
cision when once formally rendered. The at
tempt of any court whatever, to interfere with
its action by injunction, mapdamus, or other
proceedings, is one of the most unauthorized
and absurd acts of usurpation anywhere on
record, as no lawyer of intelligence and hon.
esty would hesitate to decide. To assert the
contrary would, indeed, give evidence OF such
imbecility of disngenuousness as should bring
the bush of shame to the face OF the most i'm
pudent pettifogger in Christendom.
The Portland daily press., 1876-12-05
The Attitude of the Parties.

To-day will probably bring us the
declared vote for Presidential cleo
tors in the States of Louisiana and
Florida. The Republicans firmly believe
that both states on fair vote would record
their preference for Rutherford B. Hayes,
but it is not their purpose to quarrel with the
result as officially announced by the proper
authorities. If the canvassing boards find,
after examination of the evidence, that the
Tiden electors are chosen, the Republican
party, while still believing that the preference
of the majority could it have found full ex-
preston would have been strongly in favor of
Gov. Hayes, will bow to decision given in
accordance with the forms of law. Its posi-.
tion is in marked contrast with that of its
opponents. The Democrats, while protesting
to desire an honest expression of the will of
the people, are striving in many ways to de-
feat that will. In states like Vermont, Cali
fornia, Rhode Island and Oregon, where the
citizens have emphatically expressed their
preference for the Republican candidates the
Democrats are endeavoring by the aid of SUBJ
terfuge and technicality, to steal electors. In
Nebraska the Democratic members of the
legislature are now in hiding, hoping to post
pone session of that body until too late to
canvass the vote of the State for President.
They are engaged in conspiracy to defraud
the people of Nebraska of their right to ex-
press their preference between the opposing
candidates for the chief maglstracy. In Flor
ida and Louisiana the Democrats are hoping
that by taking advantage of the assumed We
nality of members of the returning boards
they maybe able to purchase an elector or
two. If all these trickeries fail they an.
nounce their purpose to oppose by methods
that are equivalent to revolution the iuaugu-
ration cf Gov. Hayes. 1t should be borne
steadily in mind that the Republican party is
the party of sorder, always ready to submit
toi law, and the Democratic party the
party of disturbance, continually threatening
revolution.
The Portland daily press., 1876-12-05

The Democrats claim that the remarkable
change OF sentiment in the Louisiana "bull-
dozed" parishes, is owing to the forcible ap-
peals made by the Democratic speakers to the
reason OF the negroes. One of the negroes,
bearing marks on his back OF these iorcble
appeals is now in New Orleans. He was
whipped nearly to death by the Democratic
missionaries, and they would have killed him
if their cogent arguments had not so disgust
ed him with the corrupt rule of the radicals
that he promised to vote for Tilden and re-
form,
The Portland daily press., 1876-12-05

The testimony of the Northern visitors
who have returned from the South is that
there is very little buster and threatening on
the part at the people generally. The promi-
nent Democratic politicians have monopoly
OF the ''woa't SUBMIT and ''persh in the
last ditch" talk.
The official returns fix the complexion of
the Illinois Legislature as follows: Senators
Rep. 22, Dem. "a. Ind. s; Representatives
Rep. 70, Dem. IA; Joint ballot-Rep. 101,
Dem. 9S, Ind. 5. All but one OF the five
hold over Independent Senators are OF Re.
publican antecedents, and If these should
now vote with the Republicans, and the one
Democrat with the Democrats, the Republi-
cans would have six majority on joint ballot.
The five Independents in the Senate, all Of
whom were elected two years ago, clearly
have the balance Of power.
The Portland daily press., 1876-12-05
The Meeting OF Congress.

The first session of the present Congress
was marked by little that was commendable.
The large Democratic majority in the House
had it in its power to do much toward re-
lievipg the country from its financial uncer.
tainty, toward restoring the specie standard
OF value. 1t not only neglected the opportu-
nifty; it took step backward. Its sole ac-
tion in the matter of the currency was to re-
peal the only provision which had been made
for the resumption of specie payments. Time
which should have been devoted to the con-
sideratlon OF matters of finance and taxation
was given up to the conducting of partisan
investigations and to the making necessary
the passage of host of deficiency bills the
present session. The first few weeks OF the
session were used in discharging Union SOL
diers from the employ ofthe Houses and in ap-
pointing confederate soldiers to their places.
The last few weeks were devoted to an at
tempt to perpetuate the evils of redundant,
irredeemable currency. The intervening
weeks were given to costly and in the main
useless Investigations, conducted with fierce
partisanship, and with the purpose, not to
bring the guilty to punishment, but to make
political capital for the coming campaign.
Apparently even less good can be expected
at this session than at that. For, last De-
cember the Democrats chose for presiding Of
ficer the best and purest man in their ranks.
Their first step this season is to nominate for
Speaker the bitterest and most INSCRIPTIONS
partisan they have, man who is thorough
reactionist, to whom liberalism is an unknown
quality, who is widely recognized as polit-
cal trickster, who illustrates "reform'' by
pocketing the salary grab and who has not
even the grace to be ashamed of the act.
They say they have chosen him because they
want man of "nerve," for they admit that
they purpose to try desperate remedies for
alleged evils. They are loud in their asser-
tions of what they intend to do in case the
people have preferred the Republican csndi-
date for the Presidency. From body which
threatens open revolution in case its wishes
are defeated patriotic citizens have every
thing to fear and little to hope.

THE Indiana Democrats have sent rep
resentative man to succeed "Blue Jeans"
Williams in Congress. His name is Hum
phreys, and he was convicted with Mulligan
during the war by court-martial for treason
in giving active aid and sympathy to the
rebellion. As his disabilities have never been
removed by Congress there is doubt as to his
right to take his seat.

How to Advertise Successfully.

Let the article you advertise be sufficiently val
liable, Of public utility, and possessed Of merit,
then never recommend it beyond such merit. A
good article will sustain reputation and modera-
ton inspires confidence.
State facts only, or what you conscientiousy be-
lieve to be true. Facts, like diamonds are always
valuable and difficult to matilate.
Give your story concisely and to the point. Ad-
vertsemcnts at best are prosy, and short ones
least expensive.
However anxious to make money, let its ac-
quirement be secondary to the principle of doing
good. The qualification of doing good is the
greater reward
Never essay to build reputation by attempt
ing the ruin of another. Your foundation is too
fral for a substantial structure, and you unwit-
tingly assist your adversary.
