THE monumental cheek of the Governor
OF Oregon is emphasized in the fact that the
question of eligibility was one upon which he
had no right to pass any way. 1t was simply
his business to issue the certificate to the
electors having the highest number of votes.
If then there was any question of eligibility
that was for another tribunal. Grover at

A LETTER from Washington says: 'It is
gradually growing upon the Democratic mind
here, that Hayes cannot be cheated out of his
election; and large numbers of those who
have no personal interest at stake, are giving
up the contest" Two things are noticeable
among the Democrats in Congress: First, the
Democratic Senators do not respond fayora-
bly, to the Democratic extremists of the House
and second, the Southern Democratic mem
bers OF the House are more moderate in tons
than some of their associates from the North,
The plotting 10 secure another electoral vote
for Tilden, by means of bribery, theft, or some
forced conclusion, has been done chiefly by
the Northern Democrats. The villainy at
tempted in Oregon was planned in New
York, by Mr. Tilden's immediate advisers, If
not by Mr.. Tilden himself. The attempt to
bribe an elector ia South Carolina has been
traced to "a New York agent" who acted un-
der an assumed name. The bribery ATTEMPT
ed In Louisiana will, doubtless, be traced to a
New York agent.

The International conference on the East
ern question is now in session and has already
taken preliminary steps. The following
points have been agreed to: The conference
admitted the expediency of a ratification of
the Montenegrin frontier, to be determined
BY an international meeting at Ragusa. 1t
would comprise the addition of eleven dis.
trlcts, all named, to Montenegro. The Prince
OF Montenegro would go to Constantinople to
do homage to the Sultan for the new terrific
rles conceded to him. The conference ad-
mtted that the Servian territory should be
evacuated by the Tnrks, the prisoners on
both sides returned, and the armistice pro-
longed until the conclusion of peace. 1t was
further agreed that the valley of Drina be
considered the western frontier of Servla, this
rectification implying the definitive cession of
Elttle Sewornik to Servia. These first results
confirm the expectation of an understanding
between the powers. Gen. Ignatieff, ia his
last interview with the Marquis of Salisbury,
is reported to have declared that he would
accept the occupation of Bulgaria by neu-
tral state, such as Belgium or Switzerland.

in northern prisons caused me to ask for
permission to send out cotton and buy sup
plies for them The request was granted,
but only on the condition that the cotton
should be sent to New York and supplies
be bought there. Gen. Beale, now. of st.
Louis, was authorized to purchase and dis
tribute nee6ful supplies. Our sympathy
rose with the occasion and responded to
its demands, not to wait ten years, then to
vaunt itself when it could serve no good
purpose to the sufferers.
Under the mellowing influence of time
and occasional demonstrations at the north
of desire for the restoration OF peace and
good will the southern people have for
gotten much and have forgiven much of
the wrongs they bore. 1t it be less so
among their invaders, it is but another
example Of the rule that the wrong -doer is
less able to forgive than he who has
suffered causeless wrong. 1t is not, how.
ever, generally among those who braved
the hazards of the battle that unrelenting
vindictiveness is to be found. The brave
are generous and gentle. 1t is the skulk-
ers of the fight who display their flag on
an untented field They made no sacrifice
to prevent the separation OF the states.
| Why should they be expected to promote
the confidence and good will essential to
their union? When closely confined at
Fortress Monroe, was solicited to add nay
name to those of many esteemed gentle
men who had signed the petition for my
pardon and an assurance was given that on
my doing so the president would order my

cause and the rectltIde of my own con-
duct, l declined to sign the petition and
remained subject to the ineXcusable prlga
tions and tortures which DIR. Craven has

years of close confinement, | was admitted
to bail, as often as required appeared fol

me, but in which Mr. Baine's fctions dc

quashed on no application of mine. mol

JEFFERSON DAVIS,
The Ex-Confederate Chieftain's Reply
to the Maine Demagogue's Hateful
Appeal.

RICHMOND, Jan. H.
Hon. JEFFERSON DAvIs.-My Dcar
Sir: beg you TO answer Blame,
who lives 10 the hope of exciting new hos
tility among the northern people against
the white people of the south, already
abased ana downtrodden as no other
people are. He has assailed you, not be-
fore the nation only, but the world, with
accusations which l am sure he knew to be
utterly false almost as well as you Go, it
not quite, expecting thereby TO mislead the
white men of the north and the negroes OF
the south into voting for him. He blurs
and stains the history of the south and OF
the war for the purpose of drawing off, it
he can, the attention of the present voters
as well as posterity from the truth and the
aggressions and vices OF his own party.
You alone can give such reply to him as
the whole world, which is familiar with
your name and character, will listen to,
learn the truth from, and rectify history.
Calm and dignified as your style always IS,
your statement, without retaliation, will
satisfy every one and impress itself indel
ibly. You were, believe, in prison and
under torture when Wirz was executed,
falling to suborn him to swear falsely, If no
other testimony could have been had. that
effort at subornation proves beyond a
doubt that it would have been resorted to,
and you would not have been discharged
without trial or even accusation. Mr..
Blaine is too smart not to know this, and
yet he lost his cunning in forgetting it. |
beg you again most earnestly to reply to
him BY q simple statement of facts so far
as you are concerned His is not the or
binary accusation of an unprincipled dema-
gogue, for, although he is demagogue,
who, like all of his class, has no principles
beyond those of personal and party
success and aggrandizement, he has
for years filled the high Office OF
speaker of the house of representatives OF
of the United States and aspires to the
presidency of this great republic, and
before that house of representatives he
he has dared to make his detamatory
accusations, and thus secured tor himself
the world for an audience, and nations as
spectators Of his reckless folly andinjustice
Thomas, the dynamite destroyer of human
body and life, will be not more notoriou:
hereafter than Blane's attempted assassi
nation of the good name and rek utatiOn o
one-half of the people Of his own country
striking under the protection OF the angus
body which secures him from all response
bility except to the moral sense of man
kind. 1t is painful to believe that th'
temper of the north is so unjust to thu
south that such an exhibition can b,
gratifying to it, and still more painful is i
to see that by such means the FIRST ofic
in the only popular government in tn
world can be sought and possibly obtained
