KEENE AS A TELEGRAPHIST.

A dispatch from New York conveys
the interesting information that Jim
keene has gon into the telegraph
business on a big scale. At the annual
meeting of the Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Company, it was dicovered
that MIR. Keene was prepared to bring
himself into the Directory, and his
capital as ii may be needed, into the
treasury, with a view to recognizing
the company on a grand scale. Four
OF the old Directors resigned and their
places were filled by James X. keene,
Thomas A. Scott. J.. w. Garrett, II. j.
Jewett and G.. X. Garrison. Me-srs.
Scott, Garrett and Jewetl, are the man.
ayers OF the three great trunk lines of
rail way, and their connection with the
company shows that an active coInpe-
tended. In addition TO those named.
Messrs. Dillon and Huntington of the
Pacific roads are in the Directory. Ac
cording to the dispatches, the company
yesterday added 5000 900 10 the fund in
the treasury, by subscription. Ten
thousand miles of new wire are to he
bnilt, and made to penetrate every sec
ton of the county. 1t Is understood
that within ten days a great reduction
in the rates will he made, and the
tariff from New York to all points east
of the Rocky Mountains, for ten words,
will be lowered to twenty-five cents.
IL may also be stated, says the dis
patch, that Mr.. Keene, who is the
prime mover in this new departure,
favors a reduction of rates to San
Francisco to a dollar for ten words.

Total.

The most surprising falling off is in
Ophir, which produced but $4,000,
against S45, 600 in December, sos 5000 in
November, and nearly $500 900 in Dc
toher. Th013elcber also shows a large
falling off, end Justice, too, comes TO
the front with 100000 less. The pres
ent month will show some changes Tor
the better in some mines, and decidedly
for the worse in others. Ophir Is pro
dncing nothing at all now, and the
Belciier production is very small. The
Justice yield will not be as large IA
usual and the subject OF an assessment
is being talked up quite vigorously.
California, however, will perhaps show
a larger yield, and so may CONSOLE
dated Virginia. Among the outsiders we
shall have a better result fromNorthern
Belle, New Coso, and Leopard, while
two new proJucers-Leeds and Grand
Prize-wiil be added to the list. 1t is.
however, a short month and the az
gregate produced will show 3 falling

n DECISION.

OuE IcIo6IuPuiO uASP0'ShOS "uhOuHOc
that the Commission, by a vote of eight
to seven, decided that the electoral
vote OF Oregon should be counted for
Hayes. Previous to this decision the
Commission unanimously rejected
Cronin's vote. Although virtually set
thing the much-vexed question, the
news will create no excitement, as such
ruling has been anticipated ever since
the Louisiana decision. Whatever
may be the party feeling in regard to
the action of the Commission on the
Florida and Louisiana vote, no fair
minded citizen will question the JUS
tice of tho ruling in the Oregon
case. 1t has never been denied
that Oregon gave the Republican
ticket an honest majority, and the
trickery and te~chnica!ities that have
characterized proceedings in the Web
foot State has only had the effect to
disgust the masses with their desper
ate party managers, who resorted to
this means to Illustrate the will of the
people. That Rutherford B. Hayes
will be the next President of the
United States there Is no longer any
doubt. The agreement entered into
by the leaders Of both parties, and in
dorsed by the country at large, as the
best and fairest means of deciding the
question, should be upheld, and We
hope that no factious opposition will
be ~intsrposed to the completion OF the
count. 1t can hardly be expected
that the Democratic party will re-
press all feelings of disappointment,
or Republicans fail to rejoice, but nj
fact should be kept in mind, that
threatened anarchy and possibly civil
war has been averted by means Of the
compromise, and in view Of this fact
all good citizens will heartily commend
tho policy of accepting the situation.
It is to be regretted that the decision
should have been arrived at by a strict
party vote, but that does not impair the
contract nor lessen the obligation.
What would have been the result if
Judge Davis had been appointed can
only be . matter of speculation; but If
he had acted with the present minority
1t would only have reversed the de-
%cision, and the cry OF party bias would
have been as fercely charged by the
Republicans. However distasteful the
decision may be to the great party that
had almost tasted the cup of triumph,
and on whose banners victory so near
ly perched, there is but n course left,
and tt at is submission to the decision.
The people ofthis country have won the
admiration of the world by submitting
obediently to law, and this fact has
enabled them to withstand every at
tack on their institutions, whether it
came from within or without, and the
~acquiesence to the peaceful solution
offered by the Commmission is what
the country needs more than the sue
cess of either party.
