GROVER.
The Cover or OF Oregon in San Fran
cisce-His Account of the CrOntn
Affair.
He Indignantly Denies that he Acted
Otherwise than According TO the
Law as he Knew it.

SAN Francisco, December Ex-Governor
Grover,~of Oregon, arrived by steamer this
evening. He was waited upon By a number
Of prominent Democrats and representatives
of the press. Governor Grover stated that
the report Of the Republican electors to the
effect that they did not refuse to act with
Cronin was not correct. They did so refuse,
and compelled Cronin to adopt the course he
followed In organizing his board Of electors.
he denied the report that he had his house
under guard through fear Of violence, but
that the Republicans threatened to burn him
IN effigy in front Of his own residence, and his
friends gathered to prevent any such proceed
ing. He denied, with much apparent indig-
nation, the statement that his action was IN
obedience TO instruction from the east, or that
his published statement has been sent out TO
him Tor his signature, as rumored, claiming
that his action was In conformity with his
views after a careful consideration Of the law
In the case, and that his statement was en-
tirely his own creation, but admitted that
pending his decision of the matter he was IN
frequent receipt of advice from parties in the
east.
Governor Irwin, who was present, volun-
teered the statbment that no thinking DEM
ocrat claimed that it was settled thing that
the issuance of the certificate to Cronin set
lied the election of Tilden, but that it would
compel congress to go behind the face of the
returns, which was the object of Governor
Grover as all good Democrats, sought to at
tam by his action on legal technlcallty.
This view of the matter was corrOborated by
Judge Hagan, and other prominent Dem
ocrats present. Tomorrow evening Governor
Grover will have public reception rendered
him by the Democratic convention.

THE INDIANS.
Plans for Their Government in the
Future by Independent Commits
siORers In "A Department.

WASHINGTON, December 21.-During the
last session the house conn ittee on Indian
affairs reported by majority Of one biG to
transfer the care of Indians from the depart
ment of the interior to the war department.
Recent developments of the methods en-
ployed by army officers have led to a change
in the committee, and it now favors a different
course. A subcommittee, consisting of
Messrs. Wiltshire, Hooker, Page, Sparks and
Seelyc is considering the subject with two
propositions before it-one drawn by Profess
sor Seelye looking to a wholly new system
under which body corporate consisting OF a
self-perpetuating board named IN the bill
would have conduct of all Indian affairs, reg
ulating the support Of tribes, the reservation
and sale of their lands, and their civilization.
Another plan proposes to raise the rank of the
Indian commissioner, and place that officer at
the head Of department like the department
Of agriculture. Another meeting of the sub
committee will be held tomorrow, and while
the course of all legislation is extremely
doubtful this winter, it is not improbable that
some definite action may be taken by the
house. The summary execution of General
Sheridan S order of 1859, requiring troops to
attack all Indians found off their reservation,
where execution In the past has, Colonel
Moneypenny claims, cost fifty million dol
lars, Is causing considerable criticism, and,
according 10 the Indian commissioner, is
likely to precipitate an Indian war IN the
southwest

We received through the Associated Press

the writer argues from a bnlldozer's stand

Another batch of stuG through the same me-

DIR. L. j. Griffiths, of Louisville, in an
Ugly Predicament.

LOUISVILLE, December 25.-Yesterday a
lieutenant of the city patrol called at the
United States marine hospital here with a
warrant for the arrest of Joseph Ford, ne
gro patient. DIR. I. J. Grifiths, the surgeon
in charge, told the officer that he had no
right to arrest Ford by a civil process, hold
of district exclusively within the iurisdic-
ton of the United States court. The lieu
tenant sought legal advice and was informed
that he did have right to arrest the man.
He then returned to take charge of Ford; :;
meeting the surgeon, he was told that the
one sought for had been discharged and had
left for parts unknown. The affair produces
a decided sensation here, and especially
among the legal fraternity.

which the Democratic legislature is to elect

that it wonld be impossible for either party

OF the senator's, Thurman, Frchnghuysen
and Logan voted for Morton bill Of last ses-
sion, in defending which that gentleman said
as TO the powers of the Yice-President:
lido not accept the suggestion that the VieePresi-
dent Of the United states has anything to do IN
the business OF counting the votes for President
and Vice President than that specific duty which Is
prescribed for and enj0ined upon him by the cOnstl-
tuition That duty IS IN the presence OF the senate
and house OF representatives, toopen the certificates
There being no ether duty assigned TO him, Infer,
naturally. that he Is 10 do nothing more.
In regard TO the decision where two sets Of
electoral returns came up from a State, he
thus es Iained the effect of a section in his
own bill:
The effect OF this section IS TO determine which set
Of electoral returns IS % be counted and II the two
houses DO not agree neither set is 10 be counted and
again the vote goes out The State has no vote be
cause unless there IS some tribunal TO settle which
vote shall be counted. you cannot count both and,
therefore, you cannot count either. You must have
some tribunal 10 settle that difficulty; and what TIL
bunal IS safer than the two houses Of congress?
Senators Bayard, Edmunds and Ransom
voted against this bill of Morton's, but they
are known to have been of late re-examining
the whole subject, and may see cause to come
to different conclusion. On TIE whole, the
New York Herald thinks the conlmitbeeis well
selected. It contains only two or three men
who are believed TO be unreasonable. The
remainder of both sides are sound lawyers,
capable Of sitting and naturally respecting
precedents, and who are likely to be guided to
a conclusion by what they shall find, on a
careful investigation of the manner In which
this question has been treated and regarded
in congress from the beginning, to be the
proper way OF counting the votes. They have
from now until the fourteenth of February to
deliberate and agree upon a measure, for it is
not until then the vote is counted, and it is
probable that the two houses viii accept any
method of examining the votes" on which
the comaittee may agree.
