The Oregon Vote.

Ia Oregon one Of the Republican
Electors was, at the time Of the cleo
.ion, Postmaster. he resigned his
Office and, it was supposed, that act
cured his inelegibily. The Democrat
ic Governor of Oregon did not take
that view Of the matter aud issued a
certificate of election to the other two
Republicans and one Democratic Elec.
tor, giving the certificate to the Dem
ocrat. The Democr.t organized the
Electoral Board. filled the vacances
with two Democrats, and cast two
votes for Hayes and one for Tilden.
The two Republicans organized, filled
the vacancy and cast three votes for
Hayes. In consequence there will be
two sets Of returns from Oregon to be
opened by the President Of the Sen
ate at the appointed time for counting
the votes. The democratic package
will contain the Governors certificate
showing the election of the two Re
publicans, who constitute majority Of
the board, aud the Republican package
will show the action Of that maj jority.
The Republican returns
contained a certificate Of the Secretary
of State that the three Republican
electors received the highest number
Of votes. We see no difficult in the
matter. It was an infamous atts mpt
10 steal vote. If the Republican Of.
fee holder was ineligible. vacancy in
the board existed which the remaining
members were empowered, by law, to
fill. Whoever was, or was not, elected
it is clear that the Democrat was not
aud the Governor had neither law nor
precedent to sustain him in his action.

A SERIOUS BUSINESS MATTER.

The mass meeting announced to be held Or
Thursday evening, at St. Patricks Hall, il
which all citizens, of every trade, profession
or calling are earnestly invited to participate,
Will be one Of the most important gatherings
ever held in this city. TIE necessity of the
speedy completion of railroad connection be-
tween this city and Texas, is recognized by
every thinking man in this city and State, and
1t now remains for US to make the most siren
IONS endeavors to complete the work already
inaugurated to achieve that end.
We all have a deep interest in the matter
because the future commercial prosperity of
New Orleans, and indeed, of Louisiana, de-
ponds IN great measure upon the successful
issue Of this undertaking. This road is no in,
divldual or ring enterprise, but one in which
we are all invited to participate; and any of
our citizens who may desire to be thoroughly
convinced of this, and to understand the
and reason Of the project, should be
present at st. Patrck's Hall on Thursday
evening. Distinguished speakers, well posted
in reference to the matter, will address the
assemblage, aud it is hoped and expected that
there will be an immense attendance at the
hall. This road will undoubtedly instill new
vlgor into our commerce., aud result in
almost incalculable benefit to us ALL So let
Is all be present Thursday night, and take an
Individual and active part in promoting its

ton between the maintenance of the rights Of
the people on one hand, and an absolute and
unconditional surrender to the usurpation On
the other. They will be justifable in adopt
ing any means known to the Law, or to par
liamentary usage to thwart the designs of
those whose purpose is to fasten this abomi-
nable despotism upon US. There is no time
to be lost, either. Let there be showing of
hands now, before the time Of the session is
further wasted. If the Governor insists on
the preservation of the Returning Board let
the fact be developed at once Let the rep
resentatives of the people determine to. day,
while they have the power, whether the usur-
patton shall or shall not perpetuate itself by
means OF the internal machine of lis own in
vention. Let it be found out at once whether
or not the will of the people of this Common
wealth is to be again set at naught. When
our representatives are convinced of what is
neces airy to be done, we know they have the
resolution and the patriotism to do it, The
time has come for ACTION.

THE TROOPS MOVING.

From gentleman who arrived in this city
last night from Baton Rouge We learn thai
orders have been received by the officer in
command of the military stationed in that
city to send a company to Port Gibson, and
that when he left Baton Rouge company Of
twenty-four men with three officers was
awaiting transportation.
They probably went up on the Lee, which
passed Baton Rouge about o'clock last
evening.
The gentleman says that nothing was know n
as to the cause of the order, and no informa-
ton OF any disturbance at Port Gibson had
been received up to the time of his leaving
Baton Rouge.
The city of Baton Rouge and the surround
ing country he stated was quiet, and that the
people are anxiously awaiting the action OF
Gov kellogg on the designations which have
been presented to him.

ECONOMICAL LIGHT.
success.

Attention can not be called too often to the
| fact that New Orleans is, or ought to Sc, an
excellent market for the sale of all really good
and safe illuminators, because burning gas
here is poor and costly beyond all reason.
An association with one-ffth as much capital
as the New Orleans GAslight Company could
soon build up very large business ID oils
and burning fluids. Competition with a
monopoly is an uphill affair, yet there is no
reason why light can not be furnished from
mineral oils brought from Pennsylvania wells
as cheaply as it can be furnished from mineral
GOAL brought from the same region. In point
Of transportation there is large margin in
favor of lighting by Gil, since it costs but
little more to bring ton Of oil to market
than to bring ton of coal, while the oil
would produce volume Of light many times
as great as the coal. The light wanted must
have certain qualities.
1t must be safe, so that in ordinary hand
ling there shall be no danger of explosion,
even in the hands Of the m ost careless SER
wants.
It must be inoffensive as to odor and free
from any unwholesome eff11via.
1t must be cleanly, and free from smoke, or
SCOT, or oleaginohs vapor, that may soil fur
niture or hangings.
1t must give little or no trouble to house
keepers, and must therefore be accom- panied
with all suitable lamps, chimneys, shades and
wicks.
1t must, above all else, be economical so |
that with given expense the lamplight shall
surpass ordinary gas light in brilliance.
An arrangement suggests itself by which
the supposed light ting company might in !
crease inducements to substitute Gaids for +
gas, which is this, or something like it : Let |
the company furnish lamps without charge,
pay only for the fluid supplied,
each lamp containing fixed and measured
quantity, the agents of the company calling
1t citizens houses each day, or as often as
may be stipulated, to exchange clean filled
amps for such as are exhausted. This ar
would reduce the extra trouble of
Using burning fluid instead of gas to its mini
mum. One man with q horse and proper
'ehicle could change many hundreds of lamps
n single day.

ABOLISH THE RETURNING BOARD

Whatever else the General Assembly now in
session may effect, whatever diminution OF
expenditure it may secure, whatever reform
in government it may guarantee, however
much Of municipal relief it may PROMISE
whatever red uction in the general burden of
tax it may accomplish, whatever it may do
for the real welfare of the cause of education,
however much its inquiries and researches
may dc towards exposing past and prevent
ing future malfeasauces and frauds among
public men, it will still disappoint the expec-
tations and just hopes Of the people unless it
secures an election law that will make the
honest count of the votes of the people rea-
sonable certainty. 1t must secure to all citi-
zens fair vote at every polling place. an hon
est return from every ballot-box, a safe Gus
tody and due publicity Of every local list Of
returns, and above and beyond all else an abo-
lition of that most abominable engine of op-
preston, fraud, usurpation and scoundrelism,
the State Returning Board. This mus. be
sine qua non with all honorable men in the
General Assembly. Without it all else they
can do will amount to nothing, or to delu-
sive semblance Of reforms worse than nothing.
A fair election with honest returns will give
US q chance to win and maintain our civic
rights and our political liberty; but reten-
ton of the present election law with its in
famous Returning Board will convert the
coming election into mere mockery of the
elective franchise, incomparably worse than
no election at all, and worse than an election
held under military control.
If the Returning Board is retained in the
hands Of the usurpation, there will be no
chance at all for redeeming the State, no
chance of giving the electoral votes of Louisi-
an, against our bitter enemies, no chance of
getting State admins! ration consonant with
the will of the people, not even chance OF
again controlling one branch Of the General
Assembly. With the Returning Board the
next election will be only provoking, delu-
sive and most disgusting farce.
1t is incumbent on our Conservative Repre-
to take very firm and decided
stand in this important matter. It is cues.
