OREGON.
Governor Growers Reasons for
His Action.

New YoRK, Dec. s.
The Herald publishes this:
SALEM, Ogn., Dec. 7, 1876.
To the editor or the Herald:
AT your request / give you some Of
the grounds OF my action in granting
certificates to the electors duly elected.
ernor is sworn to support the Consti.
tuition Of the United States and of this
State. In the election OF a President
and Vice President, the Constitution
Of the United States is the paramount
law. That instrument declares that no
person holding an office under tie
United States shall be appointed an
elector. John w. Watts, one of the
Electors voted for in Oregon, was, on
the 7th day Of November, holding an
office of trust and profit under the
United States, to wit: Postmaster at
Fayette, The county seat of Yamhill
county, and he had Sc held that office
for more than three years. Many
more than the number OF votes con-
stituting his majority had actually
passed in and out OF his office on ot1i-
cial business. His official character
was generally known and it was men.
toned during the political discussions
of the The law al known
and the fact vas known rendering
him Ineligible to he an Elector. A
protest was filed in tho Executive office
by prominent citizens ohjecting to the
issuance of q certificate 10 Watts, as a
person disqualified, accompanied hy
proof of his disqualification and de
handing that the same issue to an
eligible person having the next high
est number Of votes. A reply was
fled objecting to anything but u count
Of the rotes and a certificate on the
count, and making no denial Of the
disquaiitying facts. 1t was ruled in
the case that when the objection to an
applicants right to receive Il certificate
rests upon the ground that a constitu-
tional prohibition is interposed, the
Governor acting under oath to sup
port the Constitution, Is bound to en-
terrain and determine it in such a way
as 10 enforce the constitutional man
dandate to the extent of the Executive
power. 1t WAS also held that the law
and the fact being we'll known, the
votes cast for the ineligible candidate
cannot be counted for any purpose,
and the eligible candidate having the
next highest number Of votes was
Gully elected. This ruling was based
upon standard authorities, such as
Cushing and Grant, the decisions
of many courts like tho Supreme
Coutt of Appeals of New York, the
uniform practice in the United States
House OF Representatives, and the
great weight of English authorities
both parliamentary and judicial. The
law of Oregon provides for filling va
cancies in the Electoral Colleges; re-
cognizes a vacancy only in cases where
there has been an incumbent and such
incumbent has died, refused to act,
neglected to stand or Is otherwise abb
sent. In this case there was no incum-
bent unless the next highest candi
date should take the position and there
VAS no vacancy which could I've filled
by the other members Of the Electoral
College. The next highest candidate
eligible under the Constitution of the
United States was therefore certified
to be duly elected.
(Signed) l.. F. GROVER,
Governor OF Oregon.

An English teaner from Vera Cruz
brings the following startling intelli-
gence:
CRY OF MEXICO. Dec. l.
On the 10Th ultimo Portirio Dias de
feated the Government army under
General Alaiorre near Huamtla, about
one hundred miles distant rom the
City OF Mexico. Although he had a
nuch larger force, Diaz was nearly de-
feated after fonr hours fighting, when
General Gonzales came up with 1000
men, turning the scale and completely
destroying General Alatorre's army.
Pueblo fell on the 18th by the re.
volt of the troops in favor OF DiaZ.
LerdO with his government fled from
the capital on the 2lst escorted by
about one thousand men. He made
for MOnla, where, in imitation OF
Jaurez, he will attempt to maintain a
constitutional government. His train
consists of sixteen carriages, n hum
bred extra animals and q half million
of dollars, but his escort began to Gle
sert him the next day, and on the
third day he had about 300 men.
When last heard from he was in the
State of Michoican. Before leaving
the capital, President Lerdo ap
pointed Taglen, an adherent OF Diaz,
Governor Of the district, aud Nebrio,
another Diaz man, President OF the
city municipality. Perfect order
reigned in the city during the inter-
regnum. Gen. Diaz and staff entered
the city on the 23d in the midst OF the
demonstration. Intelligence i,
received daily ofthe surrender ofcities,
towns and garri~ons. Vera Cruz has
also declared for Diaz.

The Carson Appeal Of 9th inst. says:
There is a fight brewing between Jem
Mace and Bill Davis Of Virginia City.
Bill came ont in a challenge in the Vir-
ginia paper day before yesterday, in
which he threw down the gauntlet 10
Jem to come and box with him, with
the gloves on, for an hour for the fun
OF the thing. Mace replies to this and
says he is a fighter by profession, and
that he does not put up his maulers for
the love of the thing merely, MOI yet
for glory; but that ii Williams will
come TO the center with a matter of
$500 or $1,000, be will accommodate
him to all the boxing he wants. And
out of these passages of words Is likely
to come a very scientific figlrt-for Mace
is one Of the most skilled of his pro-
fession and Davis is a veteran bruiser.

TO DAYS

The details of a complete revolution
In tho aspect Of political affairs in Mex
leo is the most important item Of news
presented in the Geographic columns
of to-day's SENTINEL. The change
appears to be as satisfactory 10 the
great mass of those whom it affects as
It is thorough and sweeping. For the
full eist of the whole affair our read
ers are referred to the Geographic ac-
count.
The situation in South Carolina is
still grave and exciting. Gov. Cham
berlain has bean i~naugurated by the
Republican House. Under the law AS
1t stood it was made the duty Of one OF
the Supreme Judges to administer the
oath Of offics 20 the Governor in the
presence of the Legislature. The Su-
prone Court does not believe that
Chamberlain was honestly elected, and
for this reason no member of that
tribunal could be found who would
swear him in. This obstacle was over
come by the hasty passage Of a special
law by tho Republican Senate and
House empowering any officer com.
petent to administer an oath to offici-
ate at the inauguration. Chamberlain,
after taking the oath, delivered a brief
inaugural address, which We fear is
not calculated to help matters In that
distracted region. He was especially
severe on Wade Hampton, who in
turn comes back at Chamberlain in a
bitter, denunciatory card. It looks at
this distance as though this squabble
between these rival aspirants might
yet result ira serious outbreak on the
part of their respective followers.
Governor Grover, of Oregon, ok
plains, in a telegram to the New York
Herald, how it was that he declined to
give a certificate of election to Post
master Watts. He presents all of the
important points involved in the case,
and gives the law and the authorities
which guided him in making up his
decision. On the law OF the case he
makes a very good and tenable show
ing, but back of all OF it stands the UNI
disputed fact that Watts was the choice
of the people and was by them fairly
and regularly elected. We would not
care to see Mr.. Tilden succeed On a
technicality like this, and were it not
for the disgraceful manner in which
he was cheated out Of some Of the
Southern States we doubt if any fair
minded Democrat in the land would
indorse the course of Governor Grover.
After all, it will be for Congress, or the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
