OUTRAGEoUs ATTACK ON DIR. G. III
NICHoLs.-About eight o'clock last night
as DIR. Z. III. Nichols, superintendent of the
Government Insane asylum, was returning
home with his family from drive, he was
James Haggamacker, who seemed to be
drunk, and who struck at the doctor In his
seat The doctors wife became very much
alarmed, and jumped from the carriage with
one OF her children, iDjuring herself severely
by the leap, and all were considerably
frightened. Officer w. T. Anderson, who
was on duty on that beat, happily came
10 the station house. where the key was
turned on him until sober, when he left col
lateral for his appearance, which was for
feited al the Police Court this morning.

one side as on the other; and as to in
timidatiOD, violence or other illegal
acts, preventing free and fair election,
there is evidence on both sides, but
not of such character as to effect the
general result. In most instances the
acts of violence proceeded from mere
lawlesspess, as in the case OF Henry
and Eliza Pinkston, and had no con-
nection with political matters. 1t is a
significant fact that in the parishes
where it is alleged that voters were
kept from the polls by intimidation,
the total vote of such parishes was as
large as at any time heretofore, and,
in the whole State, is l.50O above any
vote heretofore cast.
An honest and fair canvass of the
returns, even under the Louisiana
law, cannot materially reduce Tilden's
majority, as shown on the face of the
returns.

THE Electoral Vote of Oregon de-
termines the election Of Tilden and
Hendricks, giving them 1S5 votes, the
constitutional majority. The pro-
ceedings of the Electoral College OF
Oregon were strictly in accordance
with the laws Of that State, and the
vote was cast and certified according
to law.
If, as has been claimed by the Re-
publicans, Congress has no power TO
go behind the returns from the several
States. then Tilden and Hendricks
must be declared elected, by the Vice.
President. If, Oh the other hand. the
Senate aud House of Representatives
determine that they have the right TO
90 behind the certified vote of the
State of Oregon, then they must look
into the validity of the vote as certi-
fed from the States of Louisiana,
South Carolina and Florida. In that
case, as the actual vote in all three
States was cast for Tilden and Hen
bricks, Congress must decide that the
electoral vote of those States be given
as the majority of the people voted,
thus eleciing Tilden and Hendricks
by 204 instead of lS5 votes.

E2irly SfaIafl

The Y youngstown Vindicater thus
fairly and squarely states the question
relating to the Oregon ineligible cleo
tor about which the Radicals are set
ting up such terrific howl just now ::
s'If the whole three Republican can
didstes for electors in Oregon had been
ineligible under the Constitution, We
suppose Radicals would still claim
they ought TO have the electoral vote
OF the State. That is to say they could
vote for three dead men, or Foreigners,
or nobodies, and yet claim they had
only voted for a vacancy in the Elec-
torai College which must be filled by
their partisans, although the opposite
party might have voted for living and
eligible citizens for electors against the
dead men, foreigners or nObodies.
This would be CARRYING elections with
a vengeance! 1t would, in effect, be
claiming that Republican could vote
blank ticket. aud we; have it counted
as !. vote for a Republican candidate !!
No party was ever before so hard put
as to set up such a ridiculous claim,
and no one but bigoted or fraudful
Republican would ever think of doing
so. And it is just as fraudulent and
illegal to count vote for one ineligi-
BILE elector as it would be to count
vote for a whole board of such cleo
tors. Who can successfully deny this

says: sIn August last BreniZer called
on his lawyer, Hon. Henry Mckinney,
of CLEVELAND. and, to the extreme sur
prised OF the latter, threw down a
package containing about S2.IOO III
currency and an amount ot jeweiry
and gold coin, with the remark NC
Kinney, l can't keep this any longer !:
l am going west aud am determined
to reform. Take this money aud re-
turn it to the owners" He then left
the office, and continued his journey
west to Burlington, Iowa, where he
was to assume n position as telegraph
operator, first however telling Mrkin-
ney that he, iDrenizer) was alone gull
ty of the robbery and that he had
burned large amount of unsigned
bank notes, which formed part OF
the plunder.
"Mr. Mckinney at once came to
Akron and revealed the above facts to
Edgerton & Xohier, who were also
employed in I5renizer's defense. After
consultation with Detective HamBest,
1t was determined that Mckinney
should hold the money in trust, as
Best preferred to continue the prose-
cution of the Wilson's, and furthey de-
velopements in the case were expect
ed.
Thus the matter rested untilThanks-
ing, when Brenizer appeared at the
annual family reunion at his fathers
house III Smithvil!e, Wayne county.
In the presence ofthe entire family,
and to the surprise and extreme sor-
row of all, he confessed his guilt OF
the crime. His brother, Jacob Breni-
ger, of this city, was present on the oc.
casion."
The Times further says: "It is ru-
mored that Brenizer's visit to this city
and the 'clean breast" he made Of the
whole affair here, is due to the i;if1u-
ence of the Moody and Sankey meet
iugs which he attended in Chicago,
and Mr.. Sankey's personal labors with
him."

TlLDEN HAS THEM!
OREGON DID TT.

Just as the Radicals thought they
had succeeded in defrauding the peo-
pie of Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina out of their votes and had
got good ready to shout over the
election of Hayes, the telegraph
brought the news from Oregon that
Grover, the Governor of that State
had refused to give the certificate of
election to the ineligible postmaster,
and had given it to Cronin, the DEM
ocrat who received the highest vote
against him, as the law and decision of
the Court of that State require, and
that the vote of Oregon. stood one for
Tilden and two for Hayes, giving Til
den the requisite 185 votes having
Governors certificates. The joy of
the Radicals was Immediately turned
to wailing, and they are bowling like
a pack of ravenous hyenas. But, of
course, they will never think of going
back of Governors certificate; not
they. Ir, ,-.l

The special of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, in his dispatch of Friday to
that paper, says the Congressional
Committee that day "sent it's officers
to the Secretary of State, and procured
copies of the returns from every pre-
cinct in the State. They find that one
entire county had not been reported
at all, and at least forty precincts out
of about five hundred have not been
reported at ALL" That is the way in
which the Radicals propose to elect
Presidents and retain their hold of the
Government. That ls what they call
a fair count of the votes actually cast.

The last annual Message of Presi-
dent Grant monopolizes most of the
outside of our paper this week. We
publish 1t in compliance with custom
aisd not because it is document in
which readers will generally manifest
any great interest. The apology with
which lie starts out for the many err
rors of his administration is well tim
ed, and the great majority of the peo-
pie would be pleased to see, in the
brief remainder. of his official life,
some e-works mete of sincere repen-
taice. Bot that is hoping against hope.
The tenacity with which he clings to
his exploded San Domingo scheme,
shows how persistent and stubborn he
IS. But our purpose was not to criti-
Csc the message, only to call the
readers attention to it and leave him
to form his own judgment of its mer-
its.
