GOOD BYE. STAMPS.

The Pacificoaster who visits the Ger
tennial will not now feel that he has
almost passed into foreign land, for
the jingling coin to which he is accus-

she ragged paper quarter. Who that
has jaurneye,i East during the last ten
or twelve wears hut has been pervaded
with feelings compounded o: contempt
and annoyance. as he has stuffed in his
night vest pocket the ragged and I'M
savory bundle OF fractional currency re-
ceived in change from barber or boot
black The pa:chouli OF the scented

the sLiniug silver throws off. or fails to

of both solvency anu economy in the

FoE THE INFORMATION eF \ ioCNGsrEE,
who possesses more assurance than in
;elligence, and who insists that he pos
esses considerable backing as candi-
date for Congress, and thinks he should
receive the nomination therefor st the
hands Of the Republican party, this year.
We here make quotation from what may
seem to him to be an antique law-of
which, doubtless. he has heard but never
read, namely-the Constitution of the
United States. In Article I, Section 2,
after stating how the House of Repre-
sentatives shall be composed, we find
this authoritative declaration: No per-
son shall be Representative who shall
not have attained the age Of twenty-five
years." This may be cruel, but it is q
fixed fact, nevertheless. The Constitu-
ton of the United States slams the door
Of the House of Representatives in the
face of adolescent youth and e1claims,
in imperious tones, mo boys admitted
here" But for this prohibition We
should be in favor of giving the boys q
chance.

Mr.. Baker of Indiana should bt
placed under the van Of Bergh
Cruelty to car horses is gentleness it
self compared with the torture he has
seen fit to inflict upon his democratic
associates in Congress. Obtaining the
floor under a call of the States for res
olutions Mr.. Baker Of Indiana offered
the following:
| Resolved, That the people of the
| United States constitute one nation
and not mere confederacy of States
or nations; that the Constitution was
formed by the people acting in their
| primary and individual capacity
| through their delegates thereto duly
| constituted; that the Government
| under the Constitution is one of the
people. by the people, and for the peo-
Pile; that in its appropriat sphere the
| Government OF this nation is sovereign
and supreme; that in its nature il is
permanent and indissoluble except by
the act and consent of the whole peo-
pie: that no State has tho right or au-
thority to Judge of the constitutionallty
| of the laws enacted by it, and 10 nulllfy
or resist the execution of the same;
and that all overt acts by any State or
the people thereof of secession there
from, or rebellion against the same,
constitute treason; and that the late
war of the rebellion for the dismem
berment of the Union was causeless
and indefensible on any theory OF right
or constitutional law

Mr.. Caldwell (ex-rebel from AlabaIna)

all in vain, the Speaker was compelled

Ninety-seven republicans voted aye

CHARLES O'CoNoE AND Mrs. toR-
REsT.-A charge was published i'll
some Of the journals to the effect that
Mr.. Charles O'Conor, while pretend
ing to serve Mrs. Forrest gratuitously
in the famous Forrest divorce suit,
actually e1acted from her a very large
sum for his services. Mr.. O'Conor,
in the New York Herald, Indignantly
denies these accusations, and asks a
trial by the Bar Association of that
city that his professional honor may
be vinaicated. Apart from this Mr..
O'Conor's letter has q feature that will
attract universal attentiOn-namely,
his theory of the cause of Mr.. For
rests strange conduct in his domestic
troubles. According to this theory
the quarrel was only a device of the
traGedian to divert attention from
financial failure resulting from the
erection of the "castle" on the Hud-
son. which he had not the means to
finish. and, as is apt to be the result
of such devices, it ended in the de-
struction of his home and left dark
spot ON his fame. The theory is in
genious, 10 say the least Of it, and is
probably the key to a very remark
able domestic episode.

THE SITUATION.

The election news in our telegraphic
columns this morning is of a charac-
ter to revive the somewhat dropping
spirits of the friends of Mr. Tilden.
The Returning Board will anvas the
vote of Louisiana to-day, and it is con-
fidently expected by prominent DEM
ocrats who are Watching tho course of
events in New Orleans that the count
will result in a majority of 5000, even
il the disputed parishes are thrown
out. This, If true, will settle the mat
ter beyond question in favor of the
Demo cratic nominees for President and
Vice President. In addition to this,
the rews from Florida is of a similar
character, although the majority
claimed is smaller. In u opinion
the chances are more than even in
both States in favor of Tilden, ard
either one will decide the election in
his favor beyond the possibility OF any
appeal except to the force of arms,
which we hardly opine the leading
supporters of Mr.. Hayes will venture
to invoke. Another new phase in the
political situation is the stand taken by
Governor Irwin, of California, who
has refused to certify to the returns
from that State until an investigation
is had of the alleged election frauds in
San Francisco. He states that he has
positive knowledge of the most enor-
mous frauds perpetrated there, and
cites an instance wherein $500 Demo-
cratic votes were abstracted bodily
from the ballot-box. Our knowledge
of the personal character of Governor
Irwin will not permit us TO believe
unless he had abundant evidence of
its truth, and if true he is certainly
justified in the course he has deter
mined to pursue, more especially in
the wake of the p%recedents established
by the State authorities of Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina. The cleo
LlOu OI MI. lIiutu We ToSdIu as cSScu-
tial to the prosperity of the nation for
the next four years, but at the same
time we would not indorse or become
the apologist for any fraudulent course
that might be pursued to attain that
end. We share the feeling of the great
majority of the American people in
their desire for a fair and impartial
deal, and that the prize may be award
ed to the representative of the party
who Is entitled to it from the result OF
a fair expression of the wishes of the
people as prescribed by the funda-
mental law of the nation. We hope
and believe that the matter will S con
clude, and that the supporters Of the
defeated candidates will gracefully sub.
nit to the decision.

In reference to Massachusetts poll.
tics the New York Herald says: 1t has
often been said that nowhere are par
ties so hidebound as in Massachusetts.
The reported election of General But
Ter would seem to prove that a ma
.jority of the people in his district vote
for the Irregular" Republican nominee,
no matter who he is or who is opposed
to him. Old Massachusetts, has not
been fortunate in her representatives
in either house of Congress for many
years. The Republican party has been
too powerful there for its own good.
1t has fallen under the control Of its
worst members, just as the Demo
cratic party in this city was long under
the control of Tammany. They need
in Massachusetts, a vigorous indepen-
dent press TO encourage men to bolt
their tickets and vote only for good
men.

THE NEXT HoUsE.-The next House
of Representative will be Democratic
by a majority not sc large as that at
present, but more than sufficient for all
practical purposes. The Southern
States have sent almost solid Demo
cratic delegations, and in New England
and the West the Republicans have not
recovered their losses Of two years ago.
In many districts the result is doubt
full from present advices, but the
most important fact is beyond doubt,
and that is the certainty of a Demo-
cratic majority.

Tie question is now mooted as to
the eligibility of II. NJ. Daggett as a
member OF the Electoral College from
this State. The Federal Constitution
sayszno person holding any Office Of
trust or profit under the Government
shall be eligible as an Elector. Dag
gett was Clerk of the United States
District Court Tor Nevada to within a
few DAYS OF the election. He then
rendered his resignation, but to this
date we have seen no account Of its
acceptance. The question now arises
as to whether he was a proper person
to have been voted for as an Elector.
We do not pretend to know anything
of the details of Mr.. Daggett's case,
and only call attention to the rumor
current in this portion of the State as
an item of news. 1t is also asserted,
with what showing of truth we are
not advised, that Mr.. Daggett only
rendered his resignation to meet the
requirements Of the occasion, Intend
ing to resume the duties of his posi-
ton Immediately after the election. IF
these ruuors be true, there Is a very
strong probability that the Democratic
Elector having the largest number Of
votes in this State will have an oppor-
tunity to warm Mr.. Daggett's seat in
the Electoral College.

THE ELECTION IN UTAH.-An cleo
ton, says the Steer State, was held in
Brigham's dominions last Tuesday for
q delegate to Congress. Two of the
Prophets Danites were sent to Corinne
to see that the goddess Gentiles of that
city did not poll votes enough to de-
feat the Mormon candidate, George q.
Cannon. The Corinthians spotted the
Mormons the moment they arrived,
and ip a short time filled them with
ssvalley TAM" and laid them away.
About the time they had successfully
accomplished this feat, the emigrant
train from the east came along, and
every one of them voted the straight
Gentle ticket, and offset the vote OF
Brigham's harem in Salt Lake City.
The Mormons give their women the
privilege of voting, and the Gsntiles
concluded to be fully as liberal, and
allow every m on the train to
vote. Their efforts were useless, how
ever, for the Mormons were too numer-
Gus for them, and elected their dele
gate, Cannon, by a large majority.

The Savannah scourge.

The following is an extract from a letter
from a well known Portland man, for many
years ia resident of Savannah, which gives
some interesting facts relative to the recent
scourge in that city:
''You can have no idea of what we have pass
ed through during the last two months. Lam
guage cannot describe it. Que must be wit
of little over two m0nths-short but terribly
severe and awful. Nearly 1900 persons have
died in population of abont $4,000. Among
them were five Roman Catholist priests, one
Episcopal and one Methodist clergyman, two
physicians, nine druggists and assistants, six
sisters of mercy and numerous nurses.
The fever has been quite different from that
of 1854 as then the blacksj were generally ex-
empt from attack, there being then not over
five or SIX cases, while this season it attacked
all alike. AS there was no employment in the
working casst great distress began to be felt
almost Immediately for want of the common
necessaries of life, and consequently appeals
were made for assistance These were an
swered at once in the most kindly and liberal
manner, money and supplies being sent in from
every quarter, and | am happy to say that Port
land did her share in the good work. Medi-
cines and provisions have been furnished to
thousands by this liberalty. Multitudes must
otherwise have starved to death or died for
want of medical attendance. The disease
seems to have spent itself-thanks be to God!
and we are happy in peace and prosperity, al
though it will take a long time for Savannah to
recover from the sad effects of the pestlence,
in the loss of nearly the entire fall business of
the city, +"
