THE OREGON VOTE.

No constitutional provision is techni-
cality. To violate any such provision is
crime Of the highest order and strikes
at the life Of the government. The ques
ton whether Mr.. Hayes ought to have
those votes is of small account when the
constitution must be violated 10 give
them to him. In Louisiana no one
knows what the will of the people is as
to the two electors there, and, in that
state especially, the violation of the con
stitution by appointing Federal officers
goes to show fraud and wrong in the
precise wav which the constitution inten.
ded to prevent. The votes for office
holders are to be disregarded. No cleo
tor runs against any other elector. The
blank votes, if counted as votes, defeat a
Republican candidate as much as Dem.
ocratic candidate. Thus, in New York
there were one hundred and five candi-
dates for electors, and the thirty five
having the highest number of votes were
entitled to election whatever tickets they
were on. A plurality vote elects electors.
Where a majority vote is necessary,
blank votes are counted as against either
candidate All the cases hitherto cited
are cases in which majority over all
votes cast was necessary to election.
This is no such case, for if it were, it
cannot be said that any one on either
ticket had a majority, since the blank
votes count equally against all, and de-
feat bo,h electoral tickets, which would
be absurd. But these votes for an office
holder are not blank votes. They are
void votes. Being cast in the teeth Of
constitutional prohibition they are worse
than waste paper, and of no possible eff.
feet as blanks or otherwise. Ignorance
in the voter is no plea. All citizens are
presumed to know the laws. If the Leg.
islature when it had this power. had ap
pointed as electors men whom the con
stltution forbade them to appoint, such
act would have been unconstitutional
and void. An unconstitutional act is not
voidable but void. and has not even
power to protect an officer seeking to
enforce it. A citizens vote in the same
case is as void as legislative act, and is
to be disregarded. No one can oppose
the constitution and claim any value or
effect in his act. The Canvassing Board
Of Oregon was therefore right in return
ing the three candidates having the
highest number of votes, and the COVER
nor was right in certifying them to be
the appointed electors ~ Y 9oNyHal

THE LOUISIANA REPORT.

The report of Governors Palmer and
Bigler, Judge Trumbull, Mr.. Julian and
others who visited Louisiana to witness
the operations of the Kellogg Returning
Board, has been received, but too late
for this week. 1t is atemperate and able
document, devoted to discussion of the
legal powers of the Returning Board
The Board had no authority to canvass
the vote for electors, but that such can
vass must be made by the Governor in
the presence Of three State officers, and
that in making it he has no power to ex-
clude votes. The committee show that
the Board disregarded in vital matters
the lew under which they professed to
act. Throughout the report liberal and
telling quotations are made from Wheel
er's (Ihe Republican candidate for Vice
President) report made in 1874. The
committee maintain that the highest
Tilden elector has majority of S957 in
the State, and the lowest $500.

The ultra headstrong leaders. of the
Republican party have got Grant worked
up to the proper pitch to sustain them in
any violence necessary to count in Hayes
& Wheeler, The programme of the con-
spirators is to put a man in as President
of the Senate who, himself, will count
the votes as he pleases and who will dis
regard any action or demand of the
House. This President of the U. S.
Senate is to declare the result as above
indicated and Grant will carry it out and
install Hayes. From all accounts there
are Republican members who are not
favorable to such high handed, irregular
proceedings, and it is thought, will not
sanction such acourse of fraud and force.

WHAT GRANT SAID:

The President in message tothe Sem
ate and House, Feb. 2Sd, 1873, calling at
tention to the condition of affairs in the
State of Louisiana, said: ITO judge Of
the election and qualifications of its
member is the exclusive province Of
the Senate, as it is also Of the House to
Judge of the election and qualification Of
its members, bat as to State offices filed
and held under State laws, the decisions

me, ought to be respected"

JUDGE BOND of the United States Dis
trict Court has discharged the So lth
Carolina Board Of State Canvassers from
custody, on the ground that the Supreme
Court of the State has no jurisdiction in
the case. This is Grant law sustained
by bayonets, similar to what has pre-
vailed in Louisiana for some years. One
would like to know what right United
States Judge has thus to interfere in a
purely state matter. Certainly it would
look as if a State Supreme Court was the
legal tribunal of the State Csnvassing
Board. The matter in controversy being,
between citizens Of the State of South
Carolina. But these are days Of Grant
ism, Belknapism, Babcockism, whisky

"wich is Postmaster" was not capable of
being considered a candidate, and there

TILDEN ELECTED,
A Few Plain Facts.

The interest and excitement continue
and almost every one still asks with
doubt--"who is elected? This arises
mainly from the fact that the unprinci-
pied Republican leaders at Washington
and elsewhere are resolved to count IN
HAYES whether or no, and hence they
continue to claim Hayes is elected In
this scheme their weak and servile Or
nans aid to the extent Of their power
The leading Hayes papers of character
acknowledge the truth, and admit that
TILDEN AND HENDRICKS ARE
ELECThD.
Prominent among these papers we
name the New York Herald, New York
EUening Post, New York Nation, New York
Journal Of Commerce, Boston Globe, Phila'
delphia Times Independent, and many
Others. Besides many prominent Re-
public,ns such as Horace White, OF the
Chicago Tribune, David Dudley Field, OF
New York, admit that Mr.. Hayes is de-
feated and that Tilden is elected.
1t is then, only the scurvy, corrupt
leaders in power who set up the bastard
claim, Pity it is they should have the
following they have. But, to the facts
On November 9TH the People of the
United States met to the number Of
some eight millions, at their respective
places ofholding elections, and cast their
ballots for electors of President and Vice
President. Ofthe expressed wiH Of the
Peopls there is no dispute, for they gave
TILDEN AND HENDRICKS OVER A
QUARTER OF A MILLION OF A MA
JORITY.
This is fact number one, an important fact,
for we would not wish our candidates to
be seated in power unless they were the
choice of an undoubted majority Of the
American People.
But the Electors appointed by each
State choose the President and Vice
President, and the important question is
have TILDEN AND HENDRICKS major.
ity of the duly and legally certified Elec-
tors2
We answer, most undoubtedly they
have; and no man can deny this, fact,
number tpo. Mr.. Tilden has lS4 undispu-
ted electoral votes, and one more only is
needed to give him the majority. This
one is Mr.. Cronin, of Oregon. We know
that our opponents dispute him being an
elector. They cannot deny that he has
the legal certificate, duly made out by the
Cove nor Of Oregon, who is the proper aN-
thority.
On the face of the returns, then, SAM
UEL ]. TILDEN IS ELECTED. On
the l4th Of February next, Congress will
meet and declare the result. We abide |
that result in peace and confidence
knowing that the will and decree of the |
American People shall stand.
True our opponents dispute the legali-
ty of one of the Tilden electors, but we |
dispute the legality Of nineteen of their
certified electors. Congress will decide
and declare.
