The Decision in the Florida Case Elects
Tildsn and Hendricks

Republican newspapers and Republican
Office holders manifest wonderful amount
of happiness over the decision of the cleo
toral commission in the Florida case, and
some Democratic newspapers and Demo
cratic office seekers are dreadfully indignant
over the same result, and single out Judge
Bradley for their especial abuse. Both
sides act foolishly, it seems to US. The
Republicans have no cause for joy nor the
Democrats for dependency. Morris Judge
Bradley any more responsible for this
decision than any one Of the other seven
who voted as he voted. What did the
eight gentlemen decide? They said
/ That congress cannot go behind the final au-
thoritatiye declaration of state TO inquire into
the manner in which the electors were appointed.
That decision elects Tilden and Hend-
ricks unless every one Of the eight Re-
publicans who made it turn square around,
when they come to Oregon, and swallow
their own words and make contrary decl-
sion. Under that decision, squarely ad-
hered to, they must count one vote from
Oregon for Tilden and Hendricks, and
that ensures their election. To turn around
aud make-a contrary decision when they
come to Oregon, and say they can go be-
hind the final authoritative declaration of
state, would disgrace beyond redemption
every man who so voted. What is sass
for goose is sass for gander." Before the
electoral commission was created the Dem
ocrats said they didn't care which way the
matter was decided, If they went behind
the returns and enquired how the people
voted it would elect Tilden and Hendricks,
and if they refused to enquire back of the
governors certificate, then they were
elected,
But if they shall be elected by tie Or
egon vote" say some Democrats, "wt
shall be charged with gaining the result
by vote which the people of Oregon die
not mean to give" Very we'll. And W,
answer that by saying the commission gay'
10 votes to Hayes which the people di(
not mean should be given himl In othe
words, the Republicans stole 10 votes AM
the Democrats |, therefore the Republi
cans are 19 times more guilty than tn
J Democrats-and Tlden and Hendrick
having honestly received majority of thu
votes of the people have the right to ad
J minister the government.
Don't cross bridge until you come t
it." Let us wait, in good nature, and Sc
if every one of the eight distinguish
Republicans on that commission will utter
ly and hopelessly disgrace himself an,
his party forever before the world, b
, saying that the rule he applied to on
state shall not apply to another, simpl
because in one case he would gain an
in the other case lose If they do tina

in the face and not blush for shame at til

CITY Orders.

1t has been suggested to US that our ap
proYal of the refusal of Mayor Butler to
sign any more city orders is all right as
far as signing any order for money
borrowed, but that he ought to sign the
orders for labor, salaries, or articles fur
nished for carrying on the city government,
aud that he could be compelled to do so by
mandamus from the circuit court These
orders circulate in the city as currency
people pay debts and taxes with them,
and buy the necessaries of life with them.
Giving a man evidence of Indebtedness
docs not increase the debt,-but it gives
him something tangible that he can use in
| his business transactions.
The real place where blame belongs is
on the aldermen who authorize the expen
diture and on the mayor for not vetoing it.
The contraction Of the naptha lamp debt
was clearly illegal, and if any one should
enjoin its payment it could never be col
lected. The aldermen who voted for il
are to blame IF the aldermen would stoT
appropriatiEg money for anything which
can be dispensed with, and if the mayor
had the nerve to veto every such appro
priation, and if taxes were rigidly applied
only for the purpose for which they were
collected there would be. no cause fo1
complaint.

Thursday, Feb. IA short time ago
the store Of W. s. Cameron, in Daveu-
port, was burglarized and a number Of
silk handkerchiets, some underwear, sleeve
buttons, studs, etc, taken. The police
over the river afterwards arrested Charles
Markus and lodged him in jail On sus.
picion of being the burglar. He frequently
visited the residence of ID. W. Taft, near the
toy works in this city, and it was thought
that he might have the articles concealed
in his boarding house. Accordingly Mr.
Cameron procured search warrant from
j ustice PiHkley, yesterday, and, giving it to
Marshal Halves, that officer made a thor
ough search of the premises-but failed
to find any sign Of the missing goods.
Mr.. Taft works at Buford & Taylor
store, and his family were not pleased at
the conduct Of the officers, and claim that
they knew nothing as to the character of
Markus, and that he was brought to their
house and introduced by Charles French
| of Davenport, with whom he appeared to
| be on very intimate terms.
The trial of Charles IL. EldriGge, we'll
known in this city, in the District Court
over the river, came to close on Tues

ing. The verdict was-"guilty." The
punishment for the offense of which Mr.
E., has been found guilty, that Of obtain
ing money under false pretenses-is three
years Imprisonment in the penitentiary

THIRD EDITION !!
AN OLD ANTAGONIST CALLS ON
MIR, HAYES.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Gen. J. 3.
Kershaw, ex-Gov. r. X. Scott, Judge T.
j. Mackey, Col. Ryan, ex-senator Robert
son and several other prominent South
Carolina politicians called upon the
President to-day to consult with him in
regard to the political situation of their
State. The President received the dele
CATION politely, and said the subject
would receive his earliest attention. Mr..
Hayes recognized Gen. Kershaw as being
the general whose division he encoun-
tered at Cedar Mountain, July I'd, 1864,
in a battle OF which it has been said that
| it made Sheridan Lieutenant General :;
Mr. Hayes, Governor of Ohio, and indi-
rectly President of the United States
Gen. Gordon, United States Senator
and Kershaw the leading infantry Major
General OF South Carolina. Gentlemen
present on both occasions speak of the
meeting between Gen. Hayes and Gen.
Kershaw at Cedar Mountain as an ex-
ceedingly warm one, but of that to-day
as much more kindly and agreeable to
both. Gen. Kershaw, since his arrival in
Washington, has expressed his gratitude
to Providence, in view of the patriotic
sentiments expressed in President Hayes
inaugural address, that the bullets of
Kershaw's Division spared the future
President of the United States.
