AND NOW OREGON.


The Louisiana decision. rendered by
the Electoral Commission last evening.
is comprehensive enough to cover every
disputed point in the Oregon case. The
ground upon which the Tribunal will
decide that the vote Of that State must
b counted for Hayes and Wheeler. may
Be briefly outlined. Tho Commission
says:
at IL net competent to 20 into tho evil
dence siissdi a. to the papers opened by
tho President Of the senate in the presence
Of the two houses, to prove that other per-
sons than those regularly certified by the
Governsr Of Louisiana, in and according
70 the determination and declaration Of
thsir appointment we're slected-in other
words. to 60 behind the certificate Of the
Governor. 80 far as 10 :. (o~@ded upo. the
aet'sa Of as Rstsraisy BOARD"
This principle is now law. so far as
the tribunal is concerned, and will gov
srn all its future decisions. Its appli-
cation to the Oregon case is this: The
authority TO canvass the returns in that
State Is lodged in the secrstary OF State
alone. His canvass resultedi in showing
cronin fourth on the list OF candidates
Tor Presidential electors. Nevertheless.
Grover assuming judicial functions
which did not belong TO him, decided
that Watts was ineligible question
with which he had nothing to do-and
gave q certificate to Cronin. According
to the above ruling tho commission will
decide that the certificates OF the Gov
srnor were not in accordance with the
canvass, and reject the vote Of Croniu.
The Louisiana decision further rules :
"Ths commission will not receive any

will frame q bill that will meet all re-
quirements and be In accord with the
interests Of both the mining companies
and the taxpayers representing the other
interests OF the State.
An OPEN CONFESSION.

Harry Mighels thinks 70 too. He in
troduced q bill in the Assembly. to-day.
to abolish the Office Of State Printer.
and in q few remarks favoring its
immediate passage said he would turn
States evidence. He had filed the Of.
fcs Of State Printer and knew how II
was himself, and he characterized that
Office as ''the most elaborate and shame
ful piece Of robbery ever perpetrated In
the name OF legislation. He said he
had done some robbing In II himself and
was sorry for II, and the tears stood in
his eyes and his features were contorted
with anguish NJ he pictured his peni.
tencs. He exposed tricks OF the trade,
and showed up the manner in which
the State il "horssd" In the matter Of
printing. and asked that the Office
might 10 abolished 80 that he might be
saved FROM further temptation. Seeing
that Mighels was. according TO his W
confession, n penitent thief. Mr.. Hawkes.
asked him what restitution be proposed
TO make to the State Of his ill-gotten Of
fetal gains. Mighels, in a pathetic
voice, that would have moved the heart
Of the toughest bar-keepsr in the land.
replied : "Do not I turn over all I have
left? deprive myself Of the chance OF
again holding the office. aud tho pas.
sage OF this bill will take from me the
temptation Of again being q candidate
for It." The bill passed.

a WoMAN's DOVER. 49, a certain
young lady, possessing more than ordi-
nary accomplishments for her class of
life, being the daughter Of poor but re-
Specialize parents on the death ola wealthy
relative recently, became entitled to IS,
0G0. When the giNd tidlngs reached the
ears Of her neighbors, many warm ad.
mirer, Aocked around the hitherto neg
lecte1 beauty, and there was no end to
the overtures OF love. Previous to the
turn of fortunes wheel, young man of
humble pretensions had been the young
lady's only suitor, but the knowledge OF
her wealth at once placed formidable
barrier in his way, and he contented hIm-
self with being II silent worshipper at q
distance. Matters ultimately came to q
crisis, and, in order to test the affection
of her devOtees, the young lady caused a
report to be circulated that the supposed
fortune was in reality n mere sham, the
mistake having occurred through SINH
larity Of name. The news had the effect
OF causing the visits Of the lovers to be
come less frequent, and finally to cease
altogether. The humble youth rejoiced
at the change, and at once took the op-
portunity to console the mistress Of his
heart, who to the surprise Of all, reward
ed his sincerity with her hand, and made
him sole master of the $500 O0O.-Limey.

NOT TO BE HANGED the Fall

In 1868, Paris Stewart from the same
