AND now the Democrats think they
have captured that one vote, and are
happy in proportion to the faith they
have that it will be counted. In Oregon
the Governor refused to give a certificate
to the Republican elector who, at the
time of his election, held a small post
Office, and gave it to one of the Tilden
electors who had been rejected by the
people. The other two Republican cleo
tors refused to recognize this Tildenite,
but he was equal to the emergency, and,
without waiting to file the usual protest
against the action of the Republicans, he
proceeded at once to fill the vacancies
by appointing two Republicans who met
with him and they cast their votes, two
for Hayes and one, for Tilden. The Re-
publican electors, chosen by the people,
then held a meeting Watts, the ex-
postmaster. resigned and was reelected,
when the electoral vote of the State was
cast for Hayes and Wheeler. This vote,
with their sworn statement and an alb
stract of the vote of the State, testified
to by the Secretary of State, was for
warded to the President of the United
States Senate.

In Missouri one of the Democratic
electors, who was ineligible, was absent
when the others met to cast the vote OF
the State, but his vote was cast BY
another Democrat. One of the Hayes
electors was on hand ready to serve. il
the same principle was applicable in
Missouri that the Democrats tried to en-
force in Oregon; but of course it was
not, for that would not secure the cleo
ton of Tilden. With a certain class OF
Democrats nothing is fair that is not in
their favor.

In speaking of Gen. Grant and his &C.
tions in reference to some Of the Southern
States the New York Tribune says:
We have not loved President Grant:
have not been blind to his faults, nor
viewed his virtues through magnifying

man in the nation may we'll give thanks
that we have in the White House no
Buchanan-no weak and hesitating cas-
uist, to wreck a nations peace with his
empty bubbles. President Grant is
strong, resolute man. who means to have
peace in this country, and strict enforce

In the New York 7riJune's comments
on South Carolina, it has the following
in reference to Gov. Chamberlain and
Chief Justice Moses:
No man has fought the carpet-bag
thieves more vigorously than Gov. Cham
berlain, or half SO successfully. No man
has been more closely identified with
the most infamous of them than Chief
Justice Moses. Yet to-day Gen. Wade
Hampton, and the respectable South
Carolinians who support him, are warmly
championing the doubtful judicial acts
of Moses. and relentlessly fighting the
very Governor whom six months ago
they were sustaining, and four months
ago were talking of making their own
candidate,

The New Senators from Colorado were
sworn in and took their Seats in the
Senate without opposition, but the Dem
ocratic House propose to Investigate
the Congressman from the Centennial
State. In the opinion of the House the
people of Colorado committed an unpar-
donable offense in electing Republicans
instead of Democrats. The action of the
House foreshadows the protest" that
will be made against the electoral vote
of this new State. Of course they don't
expect to prevent the vote from being
counted, but they intend to die in the
last ditch.

LAST Tuesday night Park Theater, i

LAST Tuesday night Park Theater, in
Brooklyn, was burned to the ground
while it was filled with large audience,
and over three hundred persons were
burned to death. The bodies of the dead
were so disfigured that they could not be
identified by their friends. Like most
places of amusement this theater had
but one way of escape, and that was soon
blocked up by panic stricken men and
women in their haste to get out. There
should be some way to compel owners of
theaters and concert halls to provide
different ways of escape in case of fire.

OF the electoral votes cast in the diff
ferent States on Wednesday 1855 were fol
Hayes and Wheeler and 1874 for Tilden
and Hendricks. But in the States OF
louisiana and South Carolina the Tilden
electors also held meetings and voted
and in Oregon the Governor declared
one of the Tilden electors elected. So
the contest is now transferred to Wash.
ington City. Having come SO near the
prize it ir hard for the Democrats to
give it up, but 1s5 does the business, and
gives the victory to the Republicans.

ACCORDING to the census of 1870 the
gain in population in Kansas from 1860
10 1870 was 24O per cent. A much more
rapid increase than shown in any other
State. Next to Kansas comes Minnesota
in which State there was a gain of 15s
per cent. None of the other States gain
ed as much 100 per cent, and but few Of
them as much as so. The percentage of
foreign population is less in Kansas than
in any of the northwestern States, the GEN.
sus showing only 13 per cent. Since that
census was taken, however, our State has
received a very large immigration from
foreign countries.

l WRITER in the Atchison ChDmz

A WRITER in the Atchison Champion
argues in favor of raising city taxes by
taxing only real estate, or at least ex.
empting personal property from all i'm.
provement tax. The improvement Of
streets and sidewalks, he says, does not
enhance the value of personal property,
and that it is neither equity nor justice
to compel person who owns only per-
sonal property to assist out of his prop
erty in making real estate valuable. 1t
is matter worthy the attention of the
people of this State to inquire if our
present tax system does not. to some de-
gree, keep monied men out of the State.

A Renowned African Traveller.

DIR. Gerhard Rohlfs, a learned Ger
man and famous African explorer,
arrived in San Francisco yesterday,
and his first call was at the editorial
rooms of the Chronicle. DR.. Rohlfs
has explored portions of the great
African continent where no other
European has ever set his foot. He
crossed Northern Africa from the
Mediterranean coast to the Bay of
Guinea. He was the commander of
the German Scientific African eXpedi-
tion which explored the oasis of Jupi-
ter Ammon and the neighporing oases.
The doctor speaks in the highest terms
of the achievements of Stanley in the
exploration of Central Africa, and eX-
presses his conviction that his recent
discoveries, made under the auspices
of the New York Herald and the Lon
don Telegraph, are of great value to
geographical science. At the next
meeting of the San Francisco Acad
emy of Science, on Monday next, he
will deliver an Informal lecture on his
own discoveries and experiences in
Northern Africa.

Who rays the Taxes.

II we keep our eyes open we can
find something In the bloated monar-
chies that may profitably be grated
on our succulent republican sapling
during this new sentury. Forinstance
New York the landlords pay the taxes,
in London the tenants pay the taxes.
In London the tenants personally feel
the weight of Government by having
to pay for the protection they receive:
In New York they pay their rent plus
taxes, all added together and called
"rent," so they grumble at their land
lords and the excessive rent, and are
apt to forget that the city taxes on the
property are included and concealed
in their rent bills. The result of this
is that the householders of the English
metropolis are far more vigilant and
sensitive to the conduct of their public
officers than those Of this city. In
London every poor man feels person
ally the burden of the Government
and so exercise3 his watchfulness over
public expenditure.
In New York Tweed received 1900
majority for the State Senate after it
had been proved that he had stolen
millions Of dollars, for the people who
voted for him said, ayes, but he stole
it from the rich man, forgetting that
however taxes are levied they are al
ways paid by the tenants. If the tax
es and property in the city were as
sessed directly to the men who pay
the rents, rents would of course fall
correspondingly and tenants would
feel a new interest in the question of
municipal economy. Then the cry of
"home rule" might be something bet
ter than mockery.--N. Y. Graphic.

A Centennial Darkey.

A negro, known as 'Uncle Ben,"
has been found on the Filous planta-
ton, eight miles from Chappell Hill,
in Washington county, Texas, who
says he was good sized boy, blowing
the bellows in a blacksmith shop in
Virginia, at the time of Braddock's
defeat in 1854. He lost his eyesight
at about sixty years of age, but in the
course of twenty years it returned to
him, and he sees as well as anybody
now. His hair turned white with age
turned black again, and is now white
a second time. He now masticates
with his third set of teeth. He has
had fourteen wives, is the father of
eighty-tive children, and is hale,
hearty and active. From his state
ments he must be 140 or 155 years old.
