It Ia evident that the County Commission
crs arc paralyzed, and that they fear to re-
peat their anctont and .unblushing atenls In
this modern day Of special Grand 1urios anil
sonni Indictments. Yesterday the WA11Ea-
hlcNknL "e1tra" stoal Of S9a,00 came
up for . consideration before the Com
nittoe on Public Buildings and l'nl,-
lio Service, aud was atouuy opposed
by Architect EoAN. who had figured
the amount duo at $3t,000 An effort was
made by the hot-headed rascals Of the Ring
to ruah the matter through and socure their
slare OF the plundsr whils they wero In tho
way with It, but BY soma accident one or
two honest men had boon appointed oil tho
Committee, and they kicked vigorously
against ths steal, to the utter discom-
fture Of tho ringsters. At last 1t wan
agreed To submit tho question to a
committee Of cittzens. There was no pledge
to abide by such decision as might bo ren-
dcresl, merely Recommendation to the
Board that responsible taxpayers bs selected
10 hold an. inquest On the steal, aud report
how much should b. paid tho two con.
tractors for so-called "e1iras." Under
the contract EaAa is solo arbltsr,
and 1t is not possible to go behind
his decision. This Dosrd will probably
sppoipt committee OF such responsible
citizens" as arc indebted TO them for seats
in the Grand Jury, accept = report for about
@76, 900, and then demand attention to their
honesty. II respectable taxpayers aze ap-
uointed thew ahoutd aithAr sunnnrt Fntnts
estimate OF decline TO touch the matter,
leavinR 1t for the courta to strict.
" constrns ths contract, Tbs On.
" important feature OF this new.fan,
gled shifting OF responsibility lies ia
the evidence it adduces that the Commission.
ers arc becoming sadly frightened, and art
fearful Of prosecuting their swindles as bold
iy a. Of yors. Now Is the time to striks
them again, hurry up their trials, aud send
them where they may BE- Of some service tt
tho State, whose most important county
they hare robbed Fe1norselessly.

The OREGON Outlook.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The Republi-
cans almost universally await to-mor-
rows decision of the Oregon case by
the electoral commission with serene
confidence, and a considerable number
of dispassionate Democrats concur in
the expectation, which is now quite
general, that two or more Democratic
members of the commission will unite
with the eight Republicans in uphold
ing the entire validity of the vote cast
by Watts in the electoral college, Nu-
merous wild rumors to contrary effect
are, nevertheless, in circulation, obtain
ing more or less credence among very
timid Republicans and extremely sam
guine Democrats, though some well in
formed persons have definitely ascer-
tanned that they have no foundation
whatever in the proceedings or debates
in the commission. Some classes of
people predict that the tilibustering fac
tion of the House may yet, with the
aid of apprehended extraordinary
rulings by Speaker Randall, succeed in
preventing completion Of the count
before the 4th of March. These pre-
dictions are utterly unsupported by the
present indications or probabilities.

NIGHT REPORT.
WASHINGTON.
Cabinet Speculations.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Cabinet ru-
mors are becoming plentiful. Evarts
for Secretary Of State is generally sup
posed certain, except among extreme
radicals, who prefer more pronounced
partisan. The chances for Pacific
coast members were never so promising
as now. Sargent's unt:ring energy sug-
gests his eminent fitness for the Interior
portfolio. Kasson, of Iowa, has such
claims of ability and experience in pos
tai affairs that there is a strong under
current setting him towards the Post
office Department. His reputation is
wonderfully enhanced by his mastery
argument in opening the Republican
case on Florida before the electoral
commission, which surprised his best
friends, and sounded the keynote to each
subsequent development in the discus
sion. Some southern man doubtless
will have cabinet seat. Judge Settle,
of North Carolina, is most prominent

to see it. Tilden's nephew. Col. Pelton,
in refusing to answer proper questions
and increasing the suspicious of many
by his vulgar mysteries, witness after
witness refusing to answer, until at last
the deciphered kilograms showed up the
case and filed every decent Democrat
with disgust, No one who hears the
conversation in influential Democratic
circles can doubt now that Tilden's
nomination was mistake for the par
ty. 1t is freely granted that he is
sound Democrat in principles, and few
doubt that he would have called able
men around him had he b,come Presi-
dent, but his fussinesS, his propensity
to delay what should be done at once;
his vice of working by indirect, mystic
riouS and secret means, his constant in
reference in petty details, and appar-
emily Unsuitable grasp for power and in
fluence; his want of well balanced and
steady judgment, and the increasing
belief that he was fighting for his own
interest rather than for the party, have
all combined to thoroughly ALLEVIATE
great number of Democratic members
and senators from him, and the regret
at their defeat and their irritation at
what they believe to be injustice is not
intensified by any sorrow for him.
The correspondent proceeds to argue
that the tone and moral standard of the
Democratic party is different from and
much higher than Tilden's or that of
the people who seem most directly and
closely to represent him, and that if
Hayes is wise and conciliatory to the
south he will win to his support and
party enough of the southern Demo-
Gratis to break the existing color line in
politics, and thus damage the Demo-
cratic party, which is now without
leader.

accounting for Tilden's failure, gives
among other reasons the one that he

enthusiasm of the best men of the party,
and finally when the Oregon de-

son were engaged in disgusting in

The Army Appropriation Bill.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The army ap-

1t will provide for reduction of the
military force to 10000 men. A sec
tion will be added forbidding the use of
troops in any state election. The Re-
publicans are inclined to accept the re-
duction, but oppose the latter section,
and thus compromise will probably be
effected and an extra session of Con-
gress will be unnecessary.
