Mr.. Morton was perfectly correct in
this construction of the Constitution, and

THE OREGON CASE WHAT
THE DEMOCRATS PRO
POSE TODO ABOUT 1T

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-A press
dispotch from Salem, Oregon, says it is
announced by the Democrats there to-day
that the following programme will be car
ried out in reference to the case of j. w.
Watts, Presidential elector on the Repub-
lican ticket, who was postmaster at La
fayette: The law of Oregon provides that
the Secretary Of State, in presence of the
Governor, shall count the votes and give
to the persons having the highest number
of votes a certificate ofelection, givingthe
secretary no power except to count the
votes and issue the certificates. But it is
asserted writ will be served ON the Sec
retary, to be issued out of the Supreme
Court, enjoining the issuance ofa certifi-
cate to Watts and giving it to the highest
electors on the Democratic ticket

Camp.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA, 1876.
A surprising, if not serious, and most
important turn has been given the aspect
of the Presidential muddle by the discov
cry to-day that two of the republican
electors, one chosen in Oregon and an
other in the State of Yer mont, were I'M
til yesterday in the one and until to-day
in the other case, office-holders under the
United States, and therefore, as is now
insisted upon by the democrats, disquali-
fed to serve in the capacity OF electors of
President and Vice President.
REPUBLICANS ALARMED.
Whatever force, little or great, there
may be to this argument OF the democrats
the discovery has alarmed the whole re-
publican camp, for, should the claim of
the democrats be made good and prevail
Governor Tilden will have at least 1856
electoral votes, irrespective ofthe results
of the election in South Carolina, Louis
lana and FLORIDA.
THE ALLEGED INELrGIBLEs.
The two persons referred to are John
W. Watts, late Postmaster at..Lafayette,
Oregon and II. N. Sollace, late Postmas-
ter at Bridgeport, Vt. The word elate"
in this connection, does not, however,
and unfortunately probably for Governor
Hayes, indicate sufficient antiquity to
save the game to the republicans. The
resignation of the Oregon Postmaster is
dated only upon yesterday, Novmber 13,
was forwarded by telegraph and took all
night to come across the Continent from
San Francisco, so that it got into the
hands ofthe Postmaster General only this
morning. The resignation of the Yer
mont Postmaster was written, sent and
received to day. Both designations were
at once acceptedby Postmaster General
Tyner.

The State of Georgia was conditionally

had the same Governors certificate it is
proposed to get from Kellogg, Chamber
was resolved that if the vote of Georgia
lain and Stearns in this conspiracy. It
should determine the result then the vote
of Georgia should not be counted albeit it
was as formally regular as could be.
The allegation against it was fraud in
the conduct in the voting, the same as
will be established from all present ap-
pearances against the Returning Boards
OF three States who are in a conspiracy
with the Governors. 1t is to be hoped
that no necessity will arise for tie pro-

however, that the House is able and will

the job which is now in progress in three
States, whereby, Mr.. Tilden having got

and Mr.. Hayes having been defeated for
the Presidency, is to be juggled and bay

A Head of Grass in Vans Lung.

One day during the having season of
1875, son of Mr.. John Haner, who
lives some three miles from the village
of Sinclearville, while pitching off a
load of hay III the barA, in some way
drew full head of timothy grass into
one of his lungs. Attic moment he did
not, it seems, realize that he had drawn
so ugly a foreign substance into the air
passage, being so occupied, probably,
with his work that he had no thought
of the grass head in his mouth. Soon
after, he was taken sick, and his physi-
clan pronounced his disease pneumonia
Ere long grave fears were entertained
that the young man was going into
quick consumption. The symptoms of
phthisis were decidedly marked. The
eNpectoratiOn was very cOpiOus.
TO the surprise of many the sufferer
began to convalesce so that he was able
to be about. Recently, however, he
was taken worse, and on Thursday of
last week the head of grass, which had
been in the right lung so long, was
thrown out in a paroxysm of coughing
Hopes are now entertained that, if the
lung has not undergone too much dis
organization, the young man will re-
cover. The head of grass is in the pos
session of Drs. Harrison and Stevens,
of Sinclearville. 1t is two and one-half
inches in length, and is not at all de-
by its incarceration in the
lung of a human being.-Bufalo Ia

a very thin tissue paper: most paper is
made by dipping twice, and draining
each time. After the second dip
ping, the mat is stood
up edgewise by the side of the tank to
drain, and the frame put on second
mat which also receives its first dip
ping. While the second sheet is drain
ing for the first time, the mat with the
first sheet is laid face down on a pile of
finished sheets with rice straw be-
tween them. While the second sheet
is draining a second time, the mat is
taken off from the first sheet, so that
only two mats are necessary. When
500 or GOO sheets, which form days
work, are completed, they are pressed
for some time with heavy weights, then
taken up one at time, by means of
the rice straw, and placed by old men
on smooth boards to dry in the sun.
When dry, the sheets are stripped from
the board by sharp knife with the
blade at right angles to the handle like
sickel. The finished paper weighs
about one half as much as the bark en-
ployed.

Japanese Paper.

At recent meeting of he New York
Academy of Sciences, Professor Henry
S. Munroe, z. NJ, exhibited number
of specimens of japanese paper, and
described infinitely the materials en-
ployed, method of manufacture, and
uses of this curious material. The
japanese paper, said Professor Mum
roe, is all made from the inner bark of
the mulberry, and is never bleached,
although made as clean as possible:
hence its faint yellow green or pinkish
color. Paper is made in small villages
where all the inhabitants are paper
makers, Just as other small villages
consist entirely of blacksmiths, and so
of other trades. The sons of paper
makers follow the profession of their
fathers unless adopted into family
pursuing some other vocation.
The paper mulberry, of which the
paper Is made, is propagated by cut
tings from the roots, which are planted
on the borders of rice fields, and mature
in five years. In November the reeds
are cut and sold to the paper-makers;
and the roots are left to send up new

ferment, which loosens the bark so that
it can be stripped off, after which they
are dried in the open air, or scraped at

brown epidermis, which can be
used for inferior wrapping paper.
About SO pounds of the bark

A Story that Ought to Live Forever.

There comes to us from the Western
district story on the details of which
a Bret Harte or a Col. John Hay would
found a poem. The other day a gang
of laborers were employed stacking
blocks of stone on permanent way of
the Great Western Railroad, between
keynsham and Bristol. In fact, the
operation of stone stacking was carried
on within few yards of the Brislington
tunnel. TWAS at the time of day when
the most wonderful express train in the
world, called the ''Flying Datchman, "
was expected, and by some unlucky ac-
cident d large block of stone rolled
down the embaukment and lodged on
the railway line At this instant the
roar of the Flying Dutchman was
heard in the tunnel. There was not a
moment to be lost, so swiftly down the
bank sped one of the brave navvies to
remove the stone and save hundreds of
innocent lives. or perish in the attempt.
He had wife and family at home, but
he never thought of them. His life was
in his hand, but he never thought of
that. Down the steep embankment
combined strength of Sisyphus and At
las, to move the stone and save his fell
low creatures. On sped the "Flying
Dutchmanl" "Quick, for your life,
Jim, shouted the companion on the
bank Alas! it was Just too late; the
stone was rolled out of the way, but the
hero was cut to pieces by the fangs of
the murderous train. This is as grand
and noble a story as ever was told. 1t
is finer than the tale of ''Jim Bludso,"
the moral of whose story is told with
such impetuous vigor and truth by the
author of Little Breeches":
He know'd his duty, a dead sure thing,
And ne went for il there amt then;
And Christ ami agOing TO be o hard
On q man that died for men!
If ever there was a brave fellow who
laid down his life for the sake Of his
it was this hero of the
.'~islington tunnel His wife and chill
dreH ought to be looked after, and have
no doubt come under the consideration !

ought to live foreyer.-LO1dO1 Era.

The Senator from Nevada Meets an Old
Acquaintance from Whisky Flat.

Not long since, says theVirginia( New
Enterprise, j. P. Jones was crossing the
Sierras, when the train drew up at a
station, and the usual announcement,
Twenty misutes for dinner" was
made. The Senator noticed little
man rushing up and down the platform
rigging bell. The man was but few
inches over four feet in height, and was
so built about the neck and chest that
his shoulders appeared to stand above
his head. The Senator went in to din
ner, but did not remain long. His APP
petite was not sharp, and what he found
on the table was not tempting. Most
prominently and profusely displayed
was the mustard. There was mustard,
common, thin mustard, everywhere.
Then what next caught the eye of the
traveller was a few scattering plates
containing thin slices of very tough
looking boiled beef. There were, be-
sides, few plates of bread, dishes OF
beans, some boiled carrots and plates
of pickles. No comfort was to be taken
with either the tea or coffee, for both
were thin and of bad flavor. The Sen
ator was soon out on the platform again,
where he found the curious specimen OF
humanity still ringing his bell as vigor-
ausly as ever. AS he shuflied sidewise
back and forth along the platform,
swinging his huge bell with both hands,
he looked not unlike an overgrown
chimpanzee. Suddenly the little mans
eyes met those of the Senator. His
face lighted up, and he ceased to ring
the huge bell, allowing it to hang idly
from his right hand "Ha! well, well
well, well, hal" he cried, approaching
and peering up at Mr.. Jones from un-
der his shaggy eyebrows. "Well, well
it must be! Amt you name Jones
Didn't you once mine at Whisky Flat

"My name is Jones, and once mined

"Then I need not ask you how YOU
