FOR TILDEN.
FOR HAYES.
Total,

Governor Tilden has thus received the one
vote necessary to give him majority Of the
whole vote of the Electoral Colleges; and if,
as the Republicans have claimed, the certif-
Gates of election issued to electors are final,
then the split in Oregon gives Tlden a ma
jority of Electors with certificates Taking
this view of the question, the Herald, COM
menting upon Governor Growers letter, con-
cludes a.lengthy editorial as follows:
"By this astute mannuvre the supporters of
Mr. Tilden have captured the stronghold of
the enemy, and can turn his own batteries
against him. If one House alone cannot re-
verse the certificates which bear the sigma
ture of the Governor and the seal of the State,
the democrats are thoroughly entrenched
on the ground selected by their adversaries.
The rage of the Republicans at being thus
hoisted by their own petard is as amusing as
it is natural"

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

'
On our first page We print what the Nation
viii be profoundly grateful to know is the
last annual message President Grant will
ever address to the Congress of the United
States. Like all his previous messages. it
has the merit of being short, while it is re-
markable more for what it does not contain
than for anything the President says in con-
neetion with his administration Of public
affairs. He acknowledges having made blum
:ders, especially in the selection of his subor-
dinates and assistants, many of whom having
been brought from such depths of obscurity
that the public generally accepted the belief
that he had peculiar talent for discovering
incompetent and untrustworthy men to fill
high positions of public trust. In this respect,
as in nearly all others, his administrations
have proved failures. So far from uniting
with the good men of both sections in heal
ing the differences caused by the war and re.
storing the country to its wonted peace and
prosperity, the apparent aim of his policy
has been to perpetuate distraction and disor-
der; and now in those States where his mail
ed hand has been laid with most severity, we
have condition of affairs but little better
than anarchy. We have only to point to his
bayonets in Columbia for an example. Sin
gular enough, he makes not the slightest al.
lusion in his message to the situation in the
Southern States, which commission can be at
tributed only to the fact that the course he
has pursued towards them is .ungenerous, IN.
merited and entirely indefensble.
