The Hon. v. A. Cronin In w washineton-whst
he Has 20 SaY on the hifuntian.

WAsHINGToS. Dec. N.-E. A. Cronin, the
interesting Oregon elector, arrived here this
morning. and was on the floor OF the House for
sshort ume, being generally introduced and re-
ceivng many congratulations. He Is quiet and
sensible In demeanor. but decidedly firm in
maintaining his undsputed right to the certln-
cate, aud was highly in 'ensed to Iearn that SEN
ator Morton had stigmatized Gov. Grover az
u'snonest for that geptlemans reputation for
'n'esri'y Is second to none In the Western coun-
try and what he did was In accordance with his
conscientious convictions, after consultation
with eminent legal authorities. Mr.. Cronin
wants the matter investigated. He Is bimself A
lawyer. we'll known on the Pacific slope.
and contends that all who are familiar
with tho laws Of Oregon must endorse
Gov. Grover. and will so do n partisan
prejudice does not enter into the dispute. He
was asked his opinion as to the argument ad-
yanced oy several prominent Democrats In the
senate, that only two electors had been chosen
10 Oregon ana the third should be counted void.
lie replied that this wac. In his Judgment the
most illogich II position that could be taken. II
Watts was not elected, certainly somebody was,
am one more vote Is Necessary to Oil out the
Electoral College OF that State. In case Gov.
Grover refused to qualify Watts. he was forced
by the laws OF oregon. which are explicit,
TO issue acertincate to he next highest eligible
elector. MIR. CrOniu said he had nothing new to
communicate upon the OREGON situation. He
had been received by Democrats along his route
urged to accept some public reception. but he
had invariably refused all such demonstrations.
and SAID that he would much prefer to say
nothing for puDlic use on his own au-
thortty beyond stating that he was nrm
IN slckinR O his rights. Gov Grover
and Senator Kelly Will reach Washington Ia
several days, and conference will then he held
with prominent Democratic leaders. he had
no means OF predicting what the result uf hat

A special TO the Democrat from Bas.
trop, La, says that on Friday last a
courier from Island Desiard announced
that the negroes there were up III arms.
The citizens Immediately armed, mount

scouting for the best part Of the forenoon
and finding no armed bands any where,
they concluded. 10 60, home, and accord.
ingly broke up into small squads. AS
one OF these squads Of about fifteen men,
under command Of Jason Jones, was rid
| ing homewards three men were thrown
out about 800 yards in advance as q guard.
While passing the Ross place, nine miles
southwest Of Bastrop, they were fred on
by band OF negroes under cover OF u
ditch in the road side. The scouts i'm
mediately charged the negroes, who fled,
closely pursued by the men, and when
they arrived at a fence some hundred
yards further on the fugitives turned and
delivered another ineffective volley.
The three young men continued the fire
from their revolvers, killing one and
wounding four. The negroes dispersed.
