TIE CABINET STIRRED UP.-The action
OF Governor Grover, of Oregon. in giving
certificate to Il Democratic clector has
stirred up the Cabinet to remarkable de-
gree, and the Attorney-General has been
requested to drop all other public business
and examine the laws bearing upon the
subject. The theory Of the Cabinet is that
it is contrary to the spirit OF American in
stitrtions to declare that in the case Of the
ineligibility OF an officer voted for that the
person receiving the next highest number
Of votes is entitled to recognition. In view
Of the case with which Attorney-General
TAFT discovered decisions and precedents to
support the Presidents action in regard to
the South, and delivered opinions accord
ingly, he will doubtless find foundation
enough for opinions in this case. But what
weight will Attorney-General Taft's opin-
ions have with the country P Washington

WHAT SENATORS AND LAWYERS SAY ABOUT
Morton and Edmunds
saw that they do not dispute the poWerof the
Governor to refuse the certificate to Watts,
but that under no circumstances had he
the authority to issue certificate to the man
who received minority Of the votes. In
connection with the counting OF the cleo
toral vote, 1t is <surmised that q deep-laid
scheme lies behind the investigation resolu-
ton OF Mr.. Edmunds, under which the
Committee Of Privileges and Elections CON-
menced work to-day. Ii, as surmised, the
intent is to concede the right 10 exclude
electoral votes such as those OF South Caro-
lima, Louisiana, and Florida, the Housewife
object to them. Then the Senate, backed
by the eI pdTte testimony which the Com.
mittee on Privileges and Elections will ac-
cumulate respecting the elections in Ala
bama, Mississippi, and Georgia. will insist
on excluding the votes Of those States; and
this would give Hayes clear majority OF
aii the electoral votes not in dispute. But
it may require 1S5, votes to elect.] s<iIiif l

side in both houses, who have been study

OF Oregon issued certificates to two Hayes
electors end one pilden elector; the two

claimed to be u vacancy in the colleges AS
the Governor had Issued certihcates to three,

WHAT GRANT SAID TO GOVERNOR RAN.
DoLPH AND Mr.. HEWITT ON THURSDAY
NIGHT.-When the contents Of Hampton's
dispatch were made known to the. Presi-
dent by Senator Randolph he famed upin-
stantly, and said thatthe had never author
lied Mr.. Hewitt to say that he would, re-
cogniZe the Democrats when they obtained
si1;ty-threc members bearing the certificates
OF the Returning Board. Mr.. Hewitt in
terruptcd thePresident to say that he had
never said anything OF the kind; what he
had done was to telegraph to Hampton that
he was authorized by the President to say
that he would recognize neither body till
they had this number. After stating this,
Mr.. Hewitt wanted to know Of the President
if that dispatch misrepresented him. The
President admitted that he had said that he
would not recognize either body till they
had the sixty-three members with Return
ing. Board certificates but he still insisted
that this did not bind him to recognize the
Hampton body, even il they had seduced
enough Of the Mackey body to join them to
make up that number. Mr. Hewitt said that
the President must he the judge Of how far
he was to be bound by what he had said,
but he held that he had not misrepresented
him in his dispatch to Hampton. This the
President admitted, whereupon Mr..
Hewitt said that he had hoped the
President would recognize the Hampton
Legislature, and thus solve all diff
culties in South Carolina. The Presi-
dent would not indicate his purpose, and
a general conversation ensued on the pre-
sent situation. Don Cameron grew quite
warm at one period of the interview, and
impudently said to Mr.. Hewitt that the peo-
pie of this country were beginning to see
that the efforts OF some people to defeat
their will might become treason; to which
Mr.. Hewitt tartly replied that be was glad
the Secretary OF War was getting his eyes
open to that fact. This was retort which
Cameron had not expected, and he received
it with very bad grace. = -it
The upshot OF the interview was Alto
gethcr unsatisfactory to Hewitt and Ran
dolph, and although they have been very
reticent about it the impression prevails to-
day that the President has been urged on
by the Radical leaders to sustain Chamber
lain and his crew at all hazards. The influ-
ence Of Morton, Sherman, the Camerons,
and Patterson has been sufficient to turn
Grant square around, and it is believed here
that he will ride rough-shod over all the
forms of law, and drive Hampton and his
friends out Of Columbia at the point OF the
bayonet.-Special TO Baltimore Gazette.

The THEAIRE-Mg OATES NEXT WEEK.
On Monday next, Mrs. James a. Gates, the
EeTer-popular little operate actress, viii
commence an engagement at the Theatre.
The first evening Of Mrs. Ostes's appear
ance the delightful sopera gLpl lFilie3 de
Madame Angot viii be presented. One of
the Philadelphia papers, referring to Mrs.
0ates's rendition OF the opera; ;at The, Arch
Street Theatre, says: ,a4,,.,F, 4ss,tf l.,
q The representation Of this favorite work
was made doubly interesting BY reason OF it
being the benefit night of-4rs. Gates and
the occasion Of the first appearance OF
Mile. Eme Roseau, a new prima donna,
who has neyer before been heard IN this
city. The new singer appeared as Madame
Lange-a part well-suited to her-and crea-
ted the most favorable impression, the large
audience present frequently manifesting its
pleasure by loud applause. Mile. Roseau
is great addition to the ranks Of Eng
lish, opera singers. She has a remarkably
fine stage appearance; ia lady-like and
refined in all her actions, while
her vocal powers are evidently fully
equal to the, demands OF the most
difficult music. Her voice is very sweet,
moderately powerful, and Is Of rnezzo-so-
prano quality; the lower notes hcing nearly
pure contralto. Itis thoroughly cultivated,
and is directed by her with great skill and
judgment. Mile Roseau's performance Of
Madame Lange was decidedly the most ar
tistic in the whole cast. Mrs. Oates ap-
peared as the mischievous Clairette, sing
ing her music delightfully."-, and acting with
her accustomed vim and characteristic spirit.
The other characters in the cast were. well
sustained; Mr. Henri ,Laurens as Ange
Picton, Mr.. James. S. Jones as Louceard,
and Mrs. Chapman as Amaranthe, being
particularly deserying;of praise."sG ~

The United States Senate on the Orc.
EOn Case.

The United States Senate on the Ore
Een Case.
Mr.. Morton said that he had not and
would not characterize the act OF the Gov
ernor OF Oregon as Illegal. He had been
informed that some four or five OF the Dem
ocratic electors were disqualified similarly
as was charged against the elector in Ore
gon, and yet certificates were issued to
them.
Mr. Thurman said he did not know how
this question got in here now, as he had
been out of the chamber for an hour, and,
not expecting it would come up, he was not
fully prepared to discuss it, but would at
tempt to say a few words upon it. He re-
viewed large number Of cases and read a
number OF citations from laws to show that
the person elected to an office may be dis
qualified from holding that office at the time
OF his election, but at the time Of perform"
ing the duties OF the office he may be quail
fed and his place may be given to him. But
in the case of electors, who were appointed,
the Constitution declares that person who
is disqualified shall not be appointed, not
even under any circumstances. Whether it
was legal to give the place Of disqualified
elector to another elector was question he
would not touch upon Mt this time.
BE further attempted to show from the
EngllSn law LDdG NucEC sfOlCu IoI
an individual who was ineligible, knowing
that person to be ineligible at the time they
voted for him, then the votes so cast should
90 for naught. Mr.. Edmunds refuted the
position taken by Mr.. Thurman, and read
further from the English law to show that
due notice must be given that person Is
disqualified from holding an office before
the votes cast for him can be made to go for
naught. He did not believe that the Gov
ernor Of Oregon had thwarted the will Of
the people, as had been charged. He could
not believe it. There must be some mis-
take about it, even though the newspapers
say so. 1t cannot be that the Governor OF
Oregon assumes that the people over that
State, embracing $4,000 square miles, have
received due notice that the elector (Nir.
Watts) is disqualified from holding the po-
sition of elector.
Mr.. Logan read from q report, made to
the Senate few years since, signed by MIR.
Thurman, showing, as he alleged, different
views from those now held by him.
| Mr.. Edmunds asked if it was true that the
Senator from Ohio (Mr.. Thurman) signed
| that report.
Mr.. Logan answered in the affirmative.
Mr.. EdmundS: And is this the same SEN
ator from Ohio that signed that report?
Mr.. Logan Yes, sir; the same gentleman.
