GOODNESS.

tsAs cool as cucumber is good
when applied to Gen. Bob Ingersoll.
When Bob sported Colonel's shoul-
der-straps, while out reconnoitering
with small detachment, he was am
bushed by a body of sharp-shooters
greatly outnumbering his forces. The
first indication of danger that Bob OBJ
served, was a butternut drawing a
'ebead'' on him. With that readiness
which is his principal characteristic, and
which has saved him from many a de-
feat, Bob blurted out !: ssWhat do you
want to shoot me for? I've been want
ing to acknowledge your old Confed-
eracy for the last two seconds :" But
ternut appreciated the joke and didn't
shoot. The captured Yanks were taken
to headquarters; the joke spread, and
the rebs focked about the prison tent
to catch a glimpse of "that Yank."
Forrest treated him well, and when the
prisoners were exchanged, he sent In
gersoll's horse back accompanied with
note addressed to "the man who
saved his life by joke in the face of
DEATH"

CHA1lBERLAIN DECLARED COVER
NOE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.


By the decision of Circuit Judge Car
,,enter on the Goth of January, D. Fl.
Chamberlain is declared Governor OF
South Carolina. His conclusions oflaw
are Chamberlain was legally installed
Governor on the 7th of December last /;
Wade Hampton was not legally IN
st allied Governor on the 14th of Decem-
bfr; the attempted Inauguration of
Chamberlain being illegal and void, it
did not operate in law as resignation
of the office Of Governor which he then
held, as the constitution provides that
the Governor shall hold his office for
two years and until his successor is
chosen and qualiied; as there has been
no legal qualification of his successor,
d. II. Chamberlain is lawfully in pos
session of the executive Office and en-
titled to discharge its functions until
such qualification takes place. This de-
cision would seem to Let the Hampton
family out.

ALBANY, OREGON, FEB. 2, 1877.
PRESIDENT MAKING.

The compromise bill has passed boti,
Houses of Congress, received the sigma
turo Of President Grant, and both
Houses haye appointed their respective
conuaietees OF five-the Senate three
Republicans and TIVE Democrats, the
House three Democrats and two Re
publicans. OF the four Supreme Judg-
es naasea in the bill, two are Repubii-
cans and two are Democrats, and by
the terms of the bill these four must
select . 9th Jadge, tlnps making to-
tai, with the ten members of Congress,
of fifteen members. Tt was thought
that Judge Davis, of Illinois, would be
selected as the 9th Judge; but since
his election to. the Senate from that
State, he has, ia advance of any invita-
tion, positively refused to serve. Asso-
-ciate Justices Swayne and Bradley are
left Eoaa whom to select. Swayne is a
citizen of Ohio, and this fact may cause
Ais rejection. Bradley is said to be a
pronounced Republican, and it is just
possible this may "bust the whole ar
rangement," as the two Democrats may
refuse to vote for him. If these diff
culties can be gotten over, however, the
joint convention of the two Houses
doubtless met on the day appointed
yesterday, and proceeded to an or
ganlzations OF course they will find
Hayes elected, it viii be so announced,
and he will be dnly inaugurated.
Should the bill fail from the fact that
q the four Judges named in the bill can
not agree on the fifth Judge, then the
counting will have to be done by the
President of che Senate, as the Consti-
tuition otsthe United States provides,
when Hayes and Wheeler, having re-
ceived a majority of the electoral votes,
viii be declared President and Vice
President of these United States for the
four years from March 4th, 1877, and
all the people will say amen.
Since writing the above the Senate
has selected Edmunds, Morton and FIRE.
linghuysen, Republicans, and Bayard
and Thurman, Democrats, as Senate
members OF the tripartite court. The
House has chosen Ioar and Garfelde,
Republicans, Abbott, Hunton and
Payne. Democrats, to represent the
House in the same court. The FIVE Re-
publicans named are all able men, being
pronounced by Democrats far superior
to the other members in legal ability.
The Associate Justices, Clifford, Strong,
Miller and Field, designated by the
electoral bill as members of the judicial
branch of the electoral commission, were
III secret conference for some two or
three hours on Tuesday, but failed to
select the fifth Justice. It was an
nounced,- however, that in case Davis
adhered to his refusal to act as men,
her of the commission, Judge Bradley
would be selected as such member.
