The Republicans are driven into pre-
dicament by the Oregon question and the
Sonth Carolina question is serious both
alton. They cannot claim the omnipo-
tence of "the forms of law" in Louisiana,
and deny the force of "the forms Of law"
in Oregon without betraying their deter
mination to steal Presidency, If they
make a rule they must be held to it. The
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Hayes
organ, said on Friday;
"In South Carolina, Republicans resist
the judgment of the Supreme Court, be-
cause they pretend to believe it is erro-
neous; in Louisiana they insist that the
decision of a Returning Eoard shall be
respected because it is the judgment of a
competent tribunal. If the Republicans
are right in Louisiana then the Demo-
Gratis are right in South Carolina.
"0regon furnishes another illustration.
The Governor ofthat State has given one
Democrat, who is admitted to be in a mi
nority on the count of the votes actually
cast, a certificate of election. But it is
apparent beforehand that the Republi-
cans will pay no attention to such GER
tifcate, although the Governor is, by law,
the official to issue certificates to the
Electors. But the same Republicans will
insist that Governor Kellopg's certificate
of the choice of eight Electors in Louisi-
ana, confessed to have lacked five thou
sand of majority of the votes actually
cast is conclusive upon Congress aid
the people. What is good law in Louis
lana ought to be good law in Oregon, and
there is just the same reason for going
behind the certificates in one State as in
the other.
-Four years ago the vote of Louisiana
was not counted for either candidate,
yet there was just as much law, prece-
dent and reason for counting it then for
Grant as there is now for counting it for
Hayes. The necessities of the case are,
however, different. Then it was not de-
cisive Of the result-now it may be;
hence the difference in the Republican
view respecting it,"
