lnkinsi Ghosts.

New York Correspondent Troy Times.
There WAS, during lrvlng's life, a story
sf)st concerning his intimacy with n
young Englishman, m invalid, who
agreed to appear after death if he should
he invoked. This story is, to II certain
decree, correct. The invalid referred to
was named Hall, and he and Irving met
in Spain, whittier the former had gone
for his health. Irving gave the follow
ing account OF the affair: One day they
were talking about ghosts. and Hall.sud-
denly asked his friend 'if he should ike
+ receive VISIT from him after death2"
Irving replied, that, rs they hid always
been on good terms, he would not be
afraid 10 receive such visit if il were
Practicable. Hall then said he WAS SER
ipus in his idea, and added. Il wish YOU
To say you will consent" To tins lrv-
ing agreed, and Hall SAID. Irving, il
- compact, and II can solve the myS-
terry for YOU | will DO it," Soon alter
ward the invalid expired, and Irving
was I'll" only real mourncr ut the iu-
neral. He wrote to the dead man
friends full DESCRIPTION of the sad event
aud while oppressed with the tender asso-
Cations of such moUrntI.l scene, he wan.
deced out To- one Of their former haunts
aud there recalled the compact. In
obedience to his promise he whispered
al invocation, but no one appeared; nor
did Hall ever make himsel. present to
Ll' last earthly friend. The latter WAS

The Vote of Oregon Decisive.

From the Cincinnati Enquier dem.
Oregon has determined the election Of
Tilden. In implicit obedience to the
laws ct Oregon and of the United States
Mr.. Tiiden has one electoral vote in
that state. That elector holds the GER
tricate of the governor. He has been
legally chosen. lie has east his vote.
Every form Of law has been observed.
Every LEGAL sanction the state authori-
tres could give to the right of III elector
has been given 10 Mr.. Cronln. There
j, no clector in the land with fuller
I he u cast vote. The republicans,
6 Iidenly converted TO the doctrine OF
: aLrs rights. have been insisting that
all questions pertaining to the choosing
o! tue electors should be determined in
the several Stst"s-that no power could
& behind the electoral vote Us presented
Ia Washington. They have waived all
q tesLions ~ to the honesty Ofthe return
-, boards in three southern states, and
have said that the action in the ststes is
tilal. Then, certainly, the action in
Oregon is iual, aud that gives Mr..
TIign lSj votes. and elects him. IT
| ,ey abandon this claim, and insist that
C .ngrcss has the right 10 go behind the

THE OREGON MATTER.
Does The Business.

From The Louisville Courler-Journsl.
Tue governor of Oregon seems al last
TO have proved himself the master of the
situation. 1t is reported that he has
commissioned the democratic csnadate
for elector who received the next highest
vote after the ineligible republican cana
date. 1t appears that the governors
certificate was IN the hands Of this elect
or, and that the two republican electors
refused To meet with him. In that act
they seem 10 have cut on their own
official heads, for he held The certificate,
and their absence ocCasloned vacancies
which he, rs the only remaining elector,
al the appointed time filed by appoint
ing two republicans in their places. The
electoral vote of Oregon stands two Tor
hsvas and one for TideU, giving the
latter total of 1876 votes. The repub-
iicanS can take which horn OF the diem
ma they prefer. This vote OF Cronin is
n genuine vote or il is no vote. 1t must
b. received or it must be rejected. If it
is \ vote il elects Ttiden. If the repub-
lean senate says It IS no vote and pro
poses ~ throw il ont. then they must re-
verse the position they nave been so
eager ~ take and must SCI up the claim
that congress may go behind the certi1-
C lie of the governor OF the state and the
return Ui the electoral vote. II the sem
t throws il out, then il comedies the
right Of the house 10 throw out, and It's
own single act OF throwing ont the vote
vi OregOA will refer the selection OF
president 10 Che hnus, ot representatives.
WITH the vote Of Oregon presented, rs Is
reported this morning, 1t seems likely
that the senate will nj once concede
re rule claimed by the house III order
l throw the election OF 3 president INTO
Tia It branch OF congress, and give the
senate the naming Of the vice president.
That one vote in Oregon may work
some wonderfully rapid changes of opin-
inua- 10 the right, aud powers OF con-
gress in counting the electoral vote.
The house might. with that additional
vote recorded for Tllden, mildly inform
The senate that i. comedies the senatorial
construction OF the powers Of the two
houses, and thus count in both president
anI vice president on lSj votes.

/. aQUITE recently conductor on one oil,
the night trains going oat 20 Atlanta,
says the Consultation, got. the impression
that some one had tempered with the bell
rope, and he seemed exceedingly anxious
TO get his hands on the offender. BE
searched through every car in the train,
until at last he prouaced upon a seedy,
but very quiet looking individual, whose
hat needed brushing and whose hair
needed combing.
"Did yt u pull the bell-line?"
The seedy man looked up with puZ-
zled expression, but his countenance sud-
denly cleared aud he replied:
"Slt down, my friend-I will make
room for you And so You have them
strung up? have often heard that you
had belle-editors in this section, but the
idea of belle-line really never occurred
to me. Did l understand you to say
that some playful wretch, some hilarious
villain"
"Wh hat do YOU mean, slr?' exclaimed
the conductor astonished rs well as lrri-
tsted. Il asked If you had pulled my
bell line. | want to know if you jerked
that rope. If you did, it won't be
healthy for you around here"
"My dear sir" rejoined the seedy inti-
vid1sI, Il never, even by implication, go
into an unhealthy climate II can hep
it. | misunderstood the drift of your re.
marks. Do you suppose | would climb
on the backs of those seats and risk my
neck merely for the purpose of ringing u
supposed bell at the other end of the
train
well, the line was pulled" said the
conductor.
mo doubt, sir-no doubt. We all
have our troubles. Every profession has
its vexations and troubles. Those OF

average passenger, with whom he scrapes
