A CHARACTERISTIC 'reform" outrage
was perpetrated in Oregon last week.
After the election it TRANSFERRED that one
of the Republican electors, Watts, was
a postmaster and therefore Ineligible
On the day designated by the laws Of
the United States the two Republican
electors as to whose eligibility there was
no question, met, Mr.. Watts not atten-
ding. The law of Oregon on this sub
ject is as follows:
TITLE TX, SEC. So x x II there
shall be any vacancy in the Office of an
elector, occasioned by death, refusal to
act, neglect to attend, or otherwise, the
electors present shall Immediately pro-
coed to fill by viUa voce aud plurality
of votes such vacancy in the Electoral
College.
In the mean time Watts had resigned
the Office Of postmaster, mis- resignation
had been accepted, and he was as eligi-
BILE as any other citizen of the State
Accordingly he was chosen to fill the
vacancy. Then the three electors cast
their votes for Hayes and Wheeler, thus
doing just what majority of the peo-
pie of Oregon desired and intended
should be done. There was no QUESTION
but what Mr.. Watts had majority over
the democratic candidates for electors
| that is conceded on all sides but the
sfreform" Governor of that State, prob
ably influenced by the contents of Til
| denis ''bar'P' of money, saw in this lit
tie informally an opportunity to make
capital for bis party and declared one
Cronin, Democratic candidate for cleo
tor who was beaten by majority of 1,
| ia, elected instead of Watts. Cronin
also assembled himself on Wednesday
| and, selecting two Republicans who
never were candidates at all, declared
themselves the duly elected presidential
| electors and cast two votes for Hayes
and Wheeler and one for Tilden and
Hendricks.
| This announcement was received by
the Democrats of the whole country
with great demonstrations of joy-joy
over an opportunity to set the will of a
majority of the people Of a State aside
and steal one vote for their candidate,
showing what dirty work they were will
ing to stoop to in order to count their
| defeated candidate in.
The trick will avail them nothing,
| however. The three electoral votes OF
Oregon viii be declared for Hayes and
Wheeler, and the Democrats may howl
themselves hoarse over this Outrage
an outrage because they are not al
lowed TO make use of that electoral vote
after stealing it. And thus another eff
fort to cheat the Republicans out of an
honestly earned victory falls through!

THE Democrats Of the North are talk
ing war with vengeance. Should the
time come when the loyal masses of the
Union will be call upon to fight, we hope
we shall have sufficient patriotism to
contribute for the country's defense, and
believe we would. In fact, the use Of
an old but excellent carbine will be loan

to edo and die"

CONFEDERATE bonds are said to be
worth three and four cents on the dol
lar in Great Britain, pending the hope
among holders that Tilden will secure
the presidency This fact demonstrates
the Justice of all the arguments advan-
ced by Republicans during the late cam
paign IN suppor5 of the theory that the
success of the late Democratic party in
volved the danger of remorseless raids
upon the Treasury. Meantime, on this
side of the ocean, the revolutionary at
titude of the Democratic party seriously
depresses business. In the fall there
were strong signs of revival in all de-
partments of trade and in all branches
Of manufacturing. But the signs of re-
turning prosperity have failed. 1t is
plain that that which tends to advance
the price of Confederate securities in
England tends to crush out enterprise
here. For the defeat of the Frightening
promise of last fall the Democratic par
ty is directly responsible. Its foolish
talk Of resistance to the law tends to dis
courage enterprise, and so to hold the
country yet little longer in the grip of
that business paralysis which common
ced with the panic of 1873. The whole
people viii note this fact, will treasure
it in their memory as evidence of the
unfitness of the Democratic partyissnow-
ing the wind, and it will inevitably reap
the whirlwind. To tamper with the peace
ofthe country now is to imperil every in
dustrial mercantile, and commercial in
crest on the point of struggling to fresh
activity.-L1te7' Ocean.

BREAKING AND ENTERING.-Soon after II
o'clock last night Officer Very saw two fellows
crossing the street hastily from the jewelry
store of John H. Coolidge No. 2l7 Fore street,
with their arms apparently full of articles.
Suspecting there had been burglary he went
to the station and informed Deputy Chase, and
the latter with Officers Chase, Hicks, Hanson,
Houston and Very went TO Dolan's block
where the fellows disappeared and arrested
them in the attempt to escape through a back
entrance Ia their pockets were found four
opera glasses, several watches and chains, a
revolver and several other articles which they
had stolen from Mr.. Coolidge's The entrance
into the store was effected by breaking in a
window in the rear and crawling through the
opening. Both fellows were taken to the sta
ton where their names were ascertained to be
Edward Ford and Eugene Leonard.

petition.
A great many people labor under the delu-
sion that alcohol is good as a medicine in many
cases, and even necessary in some case s.
These people sincerely believe this to be so
and it does not alter the case that they are
grossly mistaken. While this opinion exists
to any considerable extent in tie community it
seems to be not only proper bat necessary to
provide some lawful way of supplying the
want.
1t is said that the agency is liable to abuses.
Certainly, that is so, it is in the nature of the
article dealt in and cannot be avoided even I'm.
der the most careful management. By and by
the people will learn the fact that the cases
are very few and far between in which alcohol
when administered as a medicine is not a mis-
chief instead of good. think the agency
necessary evil in the present state of public
opinion as to alcoholic medication.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENCKs PULMoNIC SYRUP, SoHENoK's SEA-
WE'D TONIC, and ScHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS
and. If taken before the lungs destroyed speedy
cure effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck, OF
| ment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonc Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expecora-
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Schencks Mandrake Pills act on the liver removing
all distractions relax the gall bladder the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring. 1t assists
The digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good blood then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken to prevent
| fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck either per-
sonally by letter, do so at his principal office
corner of SIXTH and ARCH STs. Philadelphia, every
| Monday
Schencks medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.
