Judge EoebraHo oa Oregon.

We were present. yesterday when the
| question came up about the vote for Mr.
T'ilden in Oregon. A gentleman who
| was present recited tile mode by which
Senator Sherman, as President of the
Senate. would take up the package con-
tanning the vote of that State under the
seals of the Governor and Secretary of
State, and would recognize the vote for
Hayes and Wheeler by the electors with
out certificates and would declare him
elected. The Judge was appealed to if
this could be done? His reply impressed
us as the utterance Of a prophecy. eff"
1aid he, such shame,; ss and mon
strous outrage was attempted il would bs

people would give, on investigation, TO the

Cataiines of the republic dared the ac-
complishmcnt OF an act of such political
indecency as that proposed, the cry Of
shame would echo through every cOrri-
dor of the capitol, and tho hands of hon
est Senator's would drag such miserable
miscreant and assassin or public liberty

the law, put up, rs they have done In
South Carolina, with the infliction of the
most unblushing injustice. hut if you
ask me-" said the Judge, "if the peoples

silent and STE ,:he unsnthenticated act Of

With unboundcd joy announce to
Your Majesty that have discovered the
monuments which the tradition related
by pausanius indicatus as the .ombs of
Agamemnon, Cassandra, Eurymednn and
their companions who were killed while
feasting at banquet by Clytemnestra
and her lover Egisthus.
These tombs are surrounded by don.
bic parallel circle, with tablets undoubt-
cdly erected in honor Of the victims. In
these tombs have found immense arch.
geological treasures and numbers of arti-
clcs of pure gold.
The treasure alone is sufficient to fill a
large museum, and the mos; splendid in
the world. In succeeding ages am sure
it will attract to Greece thousands OF
strangers from abroad. A. I am laborng
simply for the love Of science waive I'll
claim to the treasure, and offer it, with
intense enthusiasm, entirely Ia Greece.
Sire, may these treasures, with God.
blessing, become the corner stone of an

track, followed him a short distance,
where he found him taking the treas

Success Of the Centennial.

Sowell has the Centennial Exhibition
been managed peeuniar,ly that there is now
little doubt but that the surplus will be
not less that one and half millions The
total expenditure for buildings, fences, and
gas aud water supply, amounting to 1884,
l72io, has already been provided by contri-
buttons OF the City of Philadelphia, the sub
scripsions OF private individuals, and the
Pennsylvania contribution. The running ex-
penses have averaged only 81, 100 day. while
the admission receipts have been nearly three
millions, and the receipts from concessions &c
restaurants and the like are estimated At two
and = halt millions. The million and = hall
appropriated by Congress will, it is now stat
ed, resain-an OF it-a surplus fund, and over
it lively strife is predicted. Had the Gov.
eminent undertaken to run the Exhibition
without doubt it would have cost deal more
and there would have been an enormous de-
6cit to be made up. The surplus proves how
