Governor Grover.

From tho Boston Post.
The Governor of Oregon, by his
action in the case Of the ineligible
elector has excited public attention
to a large extent. He will bear ex-
animation. They who have made
him the object Of vituperation
know little Of tSe man, and appre-
ciate poorly the delicacy OF the
duty thrust upon him. He 10 no
mere porreRu without training or
experience In civil affairs, like many
who have found their way TO high
positions. He is a native of Oxford
county, Maine; graduated at Bow
dom College; studied law, and was
admitted to the bar in Philadelphia
in 1850, and soon after removed to
Oregon, where he has resided ever
since. He has filed many import
ant public stations, such as Prose-
cutting Attorney and Auditor of
Public Accounts served three
years in the Oregon Legislature !;
was Commissioner to adjust the
claims Of citizens of Oregon against
The United States; Commissioner

against the United States; was IN

Oregon was the first Representa-
tive 10 Congress from that State I;
is now its Governor, and will take
his scat in tie United States Senate
10 the next Congress, to which he
was elected last summer. He has
always been a Democrat OF the old

history OF Maine. trained IN the
school of strict coustructionists.

meeting by themselves, without
any certificate, refused to admit, q
it the Tilden elector, declared the
place be claimed a vacancy, elected
q Hayes man to I'LL it, and the three
men cast three votes for Hayes
and sent them to Washington with
full statement of the facts, but
without the certificate Of the Gov
nor.
? The deserted Tilden elector thus
found himself alone with has certifi-
cate and, having two vacancies on
his hands, proceeded 10 Ill them
with men who are reported to be
Democrats, but who nevertheless
voted for Hayes, and this vote also
goes on 20 Neutrality-suspicious. for
Tilden and two for Hayes,--with
the valuable advantage Of the Gov
errors certificate.
We believe Congress
should go behind the Governors
certificate, and in obedience to the
sound doctrine Of President Lin
coin exclude this vote from the
counting as illegal But the pinch
is, il congress goes behind the Or
egon certificate, it can have no
excuse for not going behind the
Louisiana certificate, and the Re-
publican party plan has been to in
sist that the certificate Of the Gov
ernor carries the vote undisputed.
Thus the Oregon Governor breaks
the chain which was TO lead Hayes
to the white house, and commands
q halt Of the whole team.
The result Is well IL the process
is unjust. Neither Tilden or Hayes
ought to be counted in as Presi-
dent on disputed certificates from
Governors, without the concurrence
Of the majority OF both houses
Of Congress. That concurrence
we claim as needed to complete a
legal election. 1t is sensible, just
doctrine /; it has precedents and
authority; and the undertaking to
force q President into the white
house over and against it is OF it
self an outrage upon our Republi-
can system. e.
Obviously, these Oregon and
Vermont cases, just alike, but diff
ferently decided by the State au-
thorities, present a question for
the supreme court, as they do also
for congressional legislation, 1t Is
a constitutional provision that no
federal officer shall be an elector,
and only the federal court and the
federal legislature can properly de-
eide. upon its Interpretation, and
fix the penalty for breaking it
We cannot have one Interpretation
for Vermont, and another for Ore
gon. For this makes the Presiden-
cy the sport Of Governors, and not
the orderly representatives. Of the
nation.

How LOuisansa Can have
Peace. o. l

DR.. Redfield, the correspondent
af the Cincinnati Commercial, is
convinced that Louisiana will never
have peace until the return of the
Democracy to power. In a recent
letter he says: nrr .-'0r1.. esr
eff Tilden is inaugurated, Mich
OILS will be the Governor OF this
State. The people will put him in
to Office, and ] do not see any ma
terial here to make effective resist
ance. With Tilden in the Presi-
Dental chair the troops will not
work themselves into violent per-
SEPARATION in trying to uphold the
socslled Republican government
here. 1t will 60 overload, and the
Nichols government will be set up
in its place. But until March l do
not look for important outbreaks
in this direction. II Hayes is in
augurated the aspect of affairs will
be somewhat different. In that
event we may look for the Federal
power to uphold the State govern
ment, which appears to be legal on
the face of things. Legal, but
powerless--powerless to sustain it.
self but for Federal backing, pow
erless to enforce law, powerless to
do anything except lean up against
the wall of the custom-house like
an Egyptian mummy, With Nichols
and the Democracy In power, there
will be peace in the State, and an
end of the perplexing Louisiana
case, both in and out of Congress.
But under packard and the SOCIAL
ed Republican government. there
will be four years more Of lawless-
ness, assassination, rifle clubs, tur-
moil aud confusion. The laws will
not be respected. Indeed Louisi-
ana will be for the next four years
just what she has been for the last
four. The people live under a
sense Of having been cheated, and
the so-called Republican governs
ment will be q farce. You may o.
well face the music first as last
There Is no way to bring peace to
Louisiana and end the Louisiana
case In Congress and out of Con-
gress but to let the Democracy,
which means the white people, have
the State and control IL. Every
other remedy is only q makeshift,
which reacts powerfully against the
blacks and what few scattering
white Republicans there are In the
rural districts" fHr'h ams

The N. Y. Graphic publishes the
following editorial extract, which
is expected to appear in the Herald
about the 9th OF March, 1871
The Mexicanized condition OF the
country is graphically set forth,
after all the joke may not be as
laughable three month hence:
Governor Don Sam Tildeno has
taken the field. He has issued q
pronunciamento against the preten-
tons Of General Roderigo Hayes
to the Presidency, claiming, that
the elections in Louisiana and Flor
ida were accomplished by fraud
and the bayonet. Tildeno yester-
day crossed the Salt River with his
command. In case he is severely
pushed by Hayes he intends falling
back, and going further up that
stream. Still, he is very calm and
confident of victory. Grant still
remains at Washington, but is only
President in name. He can raise
no army to enforce order through
out the republic. Yesterday, he
held a review Of generals who had
aud had not distinguished themselves
during tho war of secession. They
are docking to his standard in great
numbers and il the present rush
continues he thinks he may take
the field in q few weeks without
any privates. George B. Mcclellan
is Don Tildeno's chief military adj
wiser. Hayes army is now in Phil
adelphia. Mcclellan proposes dig.
cling a tunneling under them from
New York and blowing Hayes up
He thinks two years would accom'
plish the work, and proposes thai
Gen. Newton, of He'll Gate fame
have charge of it. Hayes has is
sued four proclamations addressed
to the self-styled Presidents Of thu
Eastern, Middle, Southern ant
Western States Of the former re
public. These are Butler, Of TIT
Eastern Roscoe Conkling, Of tn,
Middle Hampton, ofthe Southern
and the venerable Duke Gwin, o
the Western. He asks them 70
the sake Of peace and quietness T.
resign their respective pretentions
, join their force to his own, and pu
, Don Tildeno down. Then he prom
, ises that another election for Pres
ident shall be held. But Butler
Conkling, Hampton and Gwin "can'
see it." Butler, in reply to Haye:

Meantime, there is no mail ser

cut. Tweed, taking advantage o

Another scheme is, ifthe election
should gointo the house OF repre-
sentatiyes, for the Republican men,
beis all to absent themselves SO ~
to prevent the constitutional quo
rum OF two-thirds Of the States
But these astute plotters forget
that the quorum required by the
constitution for choosing the PRESS
dent consists of "a member or mem
bers from two-thir6s Of the States.
With Colorado there are 80 States

Gratis have "a member or members

which they are unreprssentcd being
Maine, Minnesota. Nebraska, Ne
vada, Rhode Island, South Carroll

three States only--Iowa, Kansas
and Mathematics representation
is confined to one member, and in
Michigan there are two indepcn-
dents. The Democrats have ma
jority representation in four more
than one-half of the States, so that
the scheme to defeat an election, II
the house should be called upon to
choose a President, is absurdly i'm
possible. All these propositions to
