WALL STREET.

Not since the summer of 1873 has there
been such II "grip' acquired by the
" bulls on the whole front of the Wall
st. stock market, as now exists.
A great bull combination led by
Keenc, the heavy operator from Frisco, "
Russell Sage, the man who sat down
on Milwaukee and St. Paul for SO long II
time, d p. Morgan, Sam Mills, Osborne
and others assisted by Vanderbilt and al
50 by several banks who are interested in
floating the wreck in the North West &
Rock Island Railroad stock made by
rracy's failure are now manipulating for
higher market, the controlling part Of
the stocks of railroads and telegraph com
panies representing u capital of not less
than three hundred millions of dollars.
Their argument If, first, that in the gem
eral depression of trade-now slowly i'm
proving-and in the liquidltions which
have been going on, railroad stocks fell
below their true value; and, second, that
the great crops of the country will bo CAR
ried over the roads this fall and the war,
giving II market at good prices, will slim
ulate the entire business of the country,
and the roads, having already effected
great economy in running expenses will
show II large increase in earnings, and at
paying rates for all, and investors and
spectators will then buy stocks at the adj
vanced prices.
There are those who do not take this
roseate view, and Jay Gould is one Of
them. This clique have dem onstrated
their positive strength by ad vancing the
whole line in the face of the recent labor
strike, and its attendant destruction of rail =
road property, so that during the ten days
of its continuance, the stocks in their
hands marked in quoted sales IN increased
value OF eight million dollars. Jay Gould
takes no hand on that side at present, but
last week, in the telegraph stocks, Keene
ana Gould executed IL "pas de deux in
which j. G. showed the most leg, and
left Keene and his confrere Sage, loaded
with few millions of the Atlantic &
Pacific stock, and with the reflection that
" For ways that are dark, and tricks that
are vain" Wall St. is surely peculiar.
Gould is playing a" long hand. and seems
to rely on the general opportunity which
comes for breaking SO long line, and
when the clique get all they can carry, he
will assault their weak points. In the
meantime there will be Il great advance in
stocks, no matter what follows. One
house on New St. is carrying over three
millions of New York Central stock.
which they fondly expect to sell at par or
higher, and Vanderbilt will take care of
Twenty millions of the Lake Shore stock.
lVall St. will again be the great gaming

The popularity of the fly is that he al
ways returns to the same spot; but it is
characteristic of the musquito that he al
ways returns to another spot. Thus he
differs from the leopard, which does not
change his spots. This is an important
fact in natural history.

The Register talks ms il there had been
some understanding when the Electoral
Commission was appointed that its men,
bers would 20 behind the returns in
Florida and Louisiana. How does the
Register know that there was any such
understanding? The act of Congress
shows what was the understanding, and
that act says nothing whatever on that
point. The Register apparently assumes
that the Washington gossip Of the Chi.
cage Times, and such like papers, is cvi.
dence Of what was understood when the
Commission was appointed,
The Commission was empowered TO
count the returns in accordance with the
Constitution Of the United States, and
the object OF appointing it was to decide
what method under the circumstances
would be in accordance with the Constitu-
ton. There were two views from tho very
start, one for and the other against going
behind the returns, and that was a point
at issue when the Commission was ap.
pointed, and one reason why it was ap'
pointed, There is no evidence whatever
that any bargain or understanding exist.
ed as to which view the Commission would
adopt.
The trouble with the Register is that it
is obliged to assume some such UNDER
standing as this in order to find an ex.
cuse for abusing the eight members who
would not vote with the seven members.

The Argument in The Oregon
6'Oga

Case.
Washington Special to the New York Tribune. !
In the arguments made yesterday and
to-day the Democratic Commissioners
conducted their fight upon two points.
Abandoning Cronin'S vote, they first
maintained that the certificate Of Gov.
Grover, rs far M Odell.and Cartwright
were concerned, having also the signature
Of the Secretary OF State, combined the
force OF Governors certificate and the
return OF n Canvassing Board, because
the Secretary OF State is the canvassing
authority in Oregon. They told the Re.
publicans that they could not 20 behind
that certificate il they were bound by their
Florida decision.
This argument was admirably answer
cd both by Judge Miller and Judge Brad.
ley. They held that the Secretary OF State
and the Oregon Statute together compro-
missed the Returning Board in that State,
the Secretary being required 10 add up
the votes, and when this is done the
Statute declaring that the candidate hay-
ing the highest number is elected. No
declaration Of the result is made by the
Secretary, but the voice OF the law makes
it. Judge Brady further called the at
tention 10 the fact that the Hayes return
was accompanied by n certificate OF the
Secretary OF State that on the 4th Of
December, in accordance OF law, he had
canvassed the vote in presence OF the Gov

certificate was dated on the 9th, and was

vass, ard could not be itself the canvass,
rs the Democrats claimed.
Tho second point OF the Democrats was
that as Watts was ineligible on the eth Of
November he could not be elected. and
there wereConSequently only two electors
chosen. There was no vacancy, they
maintained, TO be filled by the statute.
because n vacancy could not be occasion.
ed alter a place had been once filled. They
stood upon withdrawn technicality as
to the definition OF the word "vacancy,',
Judge Strong answered this point nv ar.
guing that remedial statutes must by A
well.known canon Of Interpretation be
literally construed. In this case it was
plain that Oregon had intended to pro.
vide against any contingency that might
happen to deprive her OF one or more OF
the electoral votes to which she was en-.
titled. After naming specifically various
causes that might operate to produce this
result, the statute added the word, cor
otherwise" which if given any meaning
must be held to cover any ocourrance
that would II not remedied, take from the
State some part Of its voice in the choice
OF a President. Judge Bradley said that
in accordance with his views expressed
in the Louisiana case he held that Il made

that he was not disqualified when he

One would suppose that the Democracy
were a body Of disluterested patriots 10
hear them talk about rising above par.
~" these. times. People would like to
see an exhibition, on their part, Of "risipg
above party" The vote on Louisiana
showed that not single man in the Sen,
ate and only two men in the House Of
Representatives broke from their party
lines. The Democrats IN both houses
voted aolidIy, to man the Republicans
in the Senate and all but two in the House
did the same. Messrs. seelye and Pierce,
of Massachusetts (Republlcansl, were the
only exceptions. They voted against
