TIE NEW YORK PRESS On TIE RESULT
The Times" GROWS MoRAL.- Washing
ton. December THE World says the GER
tlicate given by the Governor of Oregon
to the Democratic elector, Cronin, estab-
fishes, on principles laid down by the Radi-
Gals, the majority of Governor Tilden, and
puts the position OF the presidential contest
in 4 new and interesting light.
The Times says: The illegally certif-
Gated Cronin proceeded to constitute HIM
self the Electoral College OF Oregon, to take
unto himself two Republican associates,
and to cast his vote for Tilden and Hen
bricks. This travesty OF constitutional
forms appears TO have been gone through,
not only with the aid and approval OF the
Executive OF Oregon, but under an eX-
pressed understanding with Mr.. Tilden and
his managers. If the moral sense OF the
country cannot be trusted to rebukc the
who have strived by this and
similar methods to get possession OF the
then so much the worse for
tho future OF the country .....s.

VIEWS OF GOVERNOR HENDRICKS on: TUE
ACTION OF THE RETURNING BOARDS IN tbs
SOUTH.
INDIANApoLIs, December THE Journal
to-day publishes an interview with Gov
ernor Hendricks on the situation. He
thinks the action Of the Returning Boards
in Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana
not in accordance with the laws Of those
States or the Federal Constitution, but hopes
Congress Will do justice and assert the true
spirit Of the Constitution. BE does not be-
lieye, that the ,Vice-President can declare
who is elected, Or that; the two houses of
Congress are simply witnesses to- the count,
furnishing tellers to certify, to the correct
reading Of the ballots. He relies upon the.
tWenty-second joint rule, which,, be con.
tends, has been in operation since 1888, and
declares it is a Legislative. Interpretation Of
the Constitution specially intended to meet
such crisis as the present ones lie admits
the possibility OF the House declaring Til.
den President and the Senate declaring
Hayes President, and that such o. crisis
would be Of the most serious character, and
entail upon all parties the gravest response
bility. He declined making any statement
as to his recent meeting with Governor

TE!E MERCHANTS BANK Oh
CHARLESTON,

Here is what the Charleston Courier
mas to say about the condition of the
Merchants Bank of that place, which has
been the subject of uneasiness on the part
of some parties, for fear the State would
lose her deposits:
"A most outrageous article appeared
in the Wheeling Standard of last Mon
dav. in regard t. the status of the Mer-
chants Bank of Charleston, and the
standing of the gentlemen who signed its
bond as State depository. The article
was intended TO prejudice the ease OF
Auditor Bennett, then closing in
the Senate. The attempt in that direc,
ton was intolerable, and the reflections
cast upon number of our most respec-
table citizens was Infamous All this
time, we are prepared to state that the
assets of the bank are ample for all its
liabilities, without calling upon the
bondsmen, and that the bondsmen are
abundantly able to pay the amount of
their obligation without impair
ing their financial stand
ing. l. will hereafter be shown that
rs far back as 1872, Governor Jacob was
called upon by two gentlemen interested
in tina. bank, and requested to have the
State deposits checked out. and further
deposits prohibited. This the Governor
promised but failed to do Subsequently
he had fifteen thousand dollars trans.
ferred to that bank from other deposi-
tories, aud offered to transfer more, if
the bank desired it.

THE "death pall' policy Of the Repub

suggestion to the Parkersburg state

the mention of that topic creates. 1t is
NJ wonder, when we remember that the

putrescent corpse of West Virginia Rad

of Infamous Registrars that dug Cock

tration of misrule, helpedto lay the party
in ITS little bed, and now, faithful to his
first love, he sits by the grave of departed
iniquity, and refusing to be comtorted at
the slightest reference to his dead love,
bewails with lament that would do
honor to professional mourner of the
