THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE SI u

The present condition of the presi
dental question ought tn convince
every thinking man that Il radical
change is necessary in the ann of
electing our Presidents aud Vice Presi-
dents. The Electoral College, in a
clearly contested election like the last,
has proven itself to be inadequate to
The occasion; a piece OF machinery as
likely to defeat the will Of the people
as to perform the work for which it
was intended, and it appears to be gen
orally conceded by prominent states
men of both parties that II change
should be made. 1t is therefore proba-
bic, before another presidential cleo
ton, that our Federal Constitution will
be amended SO as either to abolish the
Electoral College, or so reconstruct it
as to remedy the evils which have SO
plainly manifested themselves within
the last few weeks. 1t is a matter of
vast importance and the question
should receive careful consideration
Senator Morton's plan to give each
Congressional District one electoral
vote and two to the State at large to
the ticket receiving n majority of the
popular vote of the State, seems to us
TO increase the objectional points in the
present system instead Of diminishing
or obviating them. for the reason that
the gerrymandering business which is
now confined to the States in the presi-
dental contests would be increased by
the better opportunities afforded of
colonizing from one Congressional dis
trict to another, it requiring in most of
the States but thirty days. residence in
a county to entitle a person to vote
who has been a resident of the State
the requisite length of time. The
waste OF popular majorities in the cleo
toral districts is the thing to be avoided
if possible, and in any new adjust
ment the popular vote should have its
full weight, for any other system ia in
the interest Of political managers. We
confess that we can discern no method
Of obviating the difficulty except by
massing the entire vote of the nation
in one grand electoral district.

WASHINGTON.
The Member from Colorado Ad-
mitted

NEW 1ORk, DcC. 4.
A Worlds Washington special says:
The Judiciary Committee of the House
after working into the features of the
case will probably decide to admit Bel
ford, member elect from Colorado.
Thus far they find the State duly in the
Union and Of course entitled to repre.
vassed by a majority of the board for
Electors.
Attorney General w. A. Coke, a
member of the Canvassing Board, pro-
tested against the action of the board
in certifying to the majority Of votes in
favor of the Hayes Electors, and de-
nounced the same ms criminal and a
gross Justification of returns on file in
the office Of The Secretary Of State. He
also gave certificates of election to the
Tilden Electors, stating therein that the
returns on file canvassed by the board
showed a clear majority for the TiIden
and Hendricks Electors.
The Democratic Electors met at the
Capitol, in the office Of the Attorney
General and cast the vote Of the State
according to law. They also signed a
petition to the Senate and House of
Representatives Of the United States,
stating their legal election and praying
that they might be recognized as Elec-
tors.
The Republican Electors cast their
vote for Hayes & Wheeler, and G. Fl.
Pearce (colored) was selected as mes
senger to convey their returns to WASH
ington.
CHICAGO. Dec. g..
AJournaJ's Washington special says:
Governor S'earns telegraphs Senator
Conover from Tallahassee this after
noon that the majority for Hayes Elec-
tors is $50; for State officers, $40; both
Congressman are elected. The Board
Of Canvassers was unanimous.

THE OREGON MATTER.

The only effect Of the action Of Gov
ernor Grover in refusing a certificate OF
election to Watts, the Republican Post
master Elector, and giving n instead
TO Cronin, the highest Democratic cam
didate, will be to place the supporters
of Tilden in Congress upon the defen-
sive and to throw the burden of proof
upon the supporters of Mr.. Hayes.
We make this assertion upon the sup
position that even if the returns had
shown a majority Of one for the Re-
publican candidates instead of Tilden
and Hendricks, that former presidents
would have been observed aud the en-
tire business in relation to the elec-
tons in South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida been subject to investigation
by Congress before the final result was
announced. While we do not believe
under the circumstances that the Pres
ident of the Senate would, in either
ment of the nation as to render an ar
bitrary decision declaratory OF an
election without permitting an investi-
CATION, the action in Oregon renders
it impossible for him to do so, unless
it be in favor Of the candidates in OPP
position to his political party, which it
is not expected or desired that he will
do by any right thinking supporter of
Tilden and Hendricks. Gov. Grover
doubtless followed the strict letter OF
the law, but we are free to admit that
he probably would have given it a
broader and more liberal construction
If the circumstances had been differ
ant. We are confident that Mr.. Tilden
would not accept the presidency if his
election turned upon such a technical
ity as that which defeated the Repub-
lican Elector in Oregon, and if it
proves upon investigation that the re-
turns from the three Southern States
above mentioned are in accordance
with the expressed sentiment OF the
people at the ballot-box, and is so de-
cided by those whose duty it is to ar
bitrate the matter, we will wager our
existence that the contest will be
pressed no further; that Mr.. Tilden
aud his supporters will waive the Or
egon point and gracefully submit to
the will of the people. No candidate
for the presidency could afford to ac-
cept the position for which he was in
debted TO a mere technical point. All
that is asked or desired by the right
thinking people of the country is that
a full investigation be had in those
States where it is charged that the re.
turns do not represent the legally ex-
pressed sentiments of the voters, and
a verdict rendered accordingly. If this
is effected through the action of the
Webfoot Governor, he is entitled to the
gratitude of the people Of the nation;
but no one with the honor of his
country at heart would desire to seq
his candidate elected by the vote of an
Elector not the choice of a majority of
the people of his State.

wish to add my testimony to the wonderful
curative properties of your Alt. Ext, or Golden
Medical Discovery. have taken great interest
in this medicine since first used it. l. was badly
afflicted with dyspepsia liver deranged and an al
most perfect prostrstion of the nervous system
So rapid and complete did the Discovery effect
perfect cure that it seemed more like magic and a
perfect wonder to myself, and since that time we
have never been without bottle Of the Discovery
and Purgative Pellets In the house. They are a
solid, sound family physician in the house and
ready at all times to y to the relief of sickness
without charge. We have never had a doctor in
the house since we first began the use OF your Pei
lets and Discovery. have recommended the use
of these medicines in several severe and compl-
Gated cases arising from, as l thought, an impure
state of the blood, and in no case have they
failed to more than accomplish all they are claim
ed to. | will only mention one as remarkable,
Though could give you dozens;) Henry Foster,
furniture dealer, of this place, who was one of the
most pitifu objects ever seen, his face swollen out
of shape scales and eruptons without end, extend
ing to his body, which was completely covered
with blotches and scales. Nothing that he took
seemed to effect it a particle. finally induced
him to try few bottles of the Golden Medical
Discovery, with daily use of the Pellets, assuring
him it would surely cure him. He commenced its
use some six weeks since, taking two Pellets each
night for a week, then one each night, and the
Discovery as directed. The result is, to day his
skin Is perfectly smooth, and the scaly eruptions
are gone He has taken some seven or eight bot
ties in ALL and considers himself cured. This case
had batfied the skill Of our best physicians. Mes

steadily increases, and they give perfect satisfac
ton in every case. Respectfully,

The least exposure to either damp or draught was

one moments sickness, and neither does damp

The rumsellers, in their evaporation at seeing
their business "take unto itself wings and fly

argument. Mr.. Willard F. Walker, IN employee
In the Journal Office, signed warrant on the'
strength of which seizure was made at the sa-
loon of Ed. Getchell. On Saturday afternoon,
about FIVE o'clock, Getchell approached Walker,
who was quietly passing along on the sidewalk
near the post Office, sprang towards him and aim
ed fearful blow at his head. Walker lodged,
and did not receive the full force of the original
blow, which would have levelled him to the earth.
As it was he fell from the effects of the blow he
did receive from the cowardly rutian. He got up
and ran, and was pursued slight distance by
Getchell, while other rumsellcrs stood near, urg-
ing him on, and shouting "Give it to him give it
to him." Walker, however. escaped any further
injury. Getchell will be brought to justice this
morning, and VIC hope justice in full measure will
be dealt out to him.
