lionI And who is there that, IN the light of
the general disaster, the country is now suf-
fering from Democratic war tnreatenings
against the legal election, wants for perma
nency provision under which the people can
never have the President they have elected,
save by rising up to threaten war? 1r-
When both Houses of Congress are CONTROL
ed by the same party, is jusl the situation in
which an election of President is likely to be
close if the opposition elects at all. And in
such situation the President elect would al
ways be .'counted out" What do we see in
this election? A trick contrived by the Dem
ocratic candidate to steal an Electoral vote in
Oregon from the majority of the people. In
South Carolina, where even the House Demo
cratic Committee has reported the clear cleo
ton of the Hayes Electors, certificate of the
vote of the Tilden Electors hiss been, by Til
den's orders, sent to Washington, to make a
pretext for contesting the vote of that State
The same preparation for fraud has been
made by pretended Electoral votes for Tilden
in Florida, where the Supreme Court, on
which the Tilden plotters relied to overthrow
the canvass, has at last conceded the election
of the Hayes Electors. The same barefaced
fraud has been contrived in Louisiana, by
certificate of Tilden Electors, signed by the
fraudulent Gov. McEnery, although the Dem
ocratic House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States has recognized Kellogg as the legal
Governor, and the present pretended Demo
cratic Legislature of Louisiana has recog-
nized Packard as the successor of Gov. Kel-
logg.
Are not these sufficient warnings of what
such party would do to preserve'its power
when it had possession of Congress, and the
forms of law for making itself supreme Re
turning Board? They show us TINT such
change would make an end of election of
President by the people.
The more the subject is discussed, the more
does it establish the wisdom of the trainers of
the Constitution in fixing the fnality of the
election just where they did. 1t is easy to say
of anything human that it is not perfect; but
to point out any other way than this which
has not immeasurably more of evil and peril,
is what has not been done by any of the wise
men who have spoken on the matter.-TCin.

That Oregon EIccior.

Cronin, the Tilden Electoral College of
Oregon, was before the Senate Committee
yesterday. He refused, he said, to come to
Washington as messenger, unless he should
receive three thousand dollars for expenses,
and the money was furnished, he supposed by
Oregon Democrats. But questions asked by
Senator Morton, which were not answered by
the telegraph operator, indicate that the
money was transferred from Ne:J York, from
Liberty street, near the Literary Bureau. If
the House shall succeed in opening the tele-
graph offices to inspection, we shall get that
correspondence, and it will be mighty inter
esting.
But Gro lin isno fool. He put high esti-
mate upon his services; demanded costs in
advance, and was accommodated. There are
great many men in Oregon who would carry
bogus Electoral vote to Washington for
$4,000, but Cronin was the man selected, and
having been chosen fol the job, he had the
Tilde1ites in his power, and he squeezed
them. Served them right. Three thousand
dollars is a good price for carrying out that
Oregon job, or the Oregon trick as it is called

ply this: The white rifle clubs murder
ed and intinidated in FIVE parishes
sufficient to change the result, whereas
all the intimidation of blacks by blacks
in Orleans Parish end elsewhere did
not make the difference of hundred
votes. Because, in the very Parish of
Orleans, where the blacks are most
bold and prosoriptive and where we
have the Developments of black intim-
idation before the House Committee,
the Democrats make large gains. Now,
compare the vote of Orleans Parish
with the five bull-dozed parishes and
you will see " here the intimidation
was, and its effect. The figures tell the
story, even was there not u word of
other testimony. DIS .i'
IL is true that the blacks are prOscrip-
tive and intOlerant towards those of
their own color, who, from choice. act
with the Democratic party. The rea-
son that this does not affect the general
result is because where the election and
campaigns are perfectly free and fair,
there is not to exceed one in two hum
dred of the blacks, who of their own
accord act with the Democratic party.
OF course their abuse and intimidation
by those of their own color is crime,
but il does not effect the general result
of elections. In all Louisiana there are
not one thousand colored men who
who would freely and of their own ac-
cord vote for Tilden against Hayes, II
let alone by both sides, and no means
used TO convince and convert them
other than are used in Ohio.
The country will get little real bene.

in Louisiana. There will be a majori.
ty and a minority report from each,
and you Can pay your money and take
your choice. But some good will
come, Notwithstanding. 1t will help
the country to comprehension of the
Southern complications generally, and
benefit the blacks in setting higher
value upon their life and rights. So
much investigation as to the rights Oi
man is certain to result in larger ap.
probation of those rights.
venture the prediction that with a
perfectly fair and free campaign and
election in the five bull -dozed parishes,
they would give majority of over five
thousand for Hayes. At present the
Democrats claim nearly that majority
there, and thus tney happen to have a
majority of eight or nine thousand "on
the face of the returns" Give those
parishes a new election, an election

and violence that American ingenuity

WHEELER.
An Interview with the Next Vice
President.

NEW YORK, JAN 3-Vice President
Wheeler has been interviewed. Mr..
Wheeler spurns and rebukes all recent
talk about Il compromise. He declares
emphatically there is nothing to COM
promise, that the Presidency cannOIand
must not be the subjet of dicker, OF bar
ter, between men of both parties, and
that the great issue of the day shall and
must only be settled by he strict carry
ing out of tho letter and spirit of the
Constitution.
Mr.. Wheeler, by the Herald inter-
viewer, is made to speak thus: ut is
my firm conviction Congress can never
he constituted National Canvassing
or Returning Board. Congress can not
go behind the returns beyond the mere
question Of regularity of certificates.
Understand me clearly, for it is point
IN which L would not like to be mis-
understood. The Congress can not in
vestigate whether Louisians mas gone
for Tilden or Hayes. The action Of the
Returning Board on this point has beep
final and conclusive. In Louisiana it,
il my honest belief that If there had
been free and fair vote, e,unobstructed
by intimidation or fraud, the Republi-
! cans would have carried the State by
at least $1,000. In the five hull-dozed
parishes the very registration shows
that these parishes belong to the Repub-
licans." Mr.. Wheeler reiterated that
he would sc0rn to accept powOr by
chicanery or intrigue such as so-ealled
compromise would necessarily imply,
and after heartily eulogizing Governor
Hayes, of whose successful adu,inistra-
tion he felt convinced, he closed the n.
terview with these words: ~ do not be-
lieve that this dispute will be wholly an
unmixed evil. l believe it is going to
teach the people the machinery of the
Presidential election, which they have
never understood beforehand that il will
be the means of averting such trouble.

Compromising the Constitution.

In the presence of special case, which has
raised great controversy, is bad situation for
altering the Constitution in regard TO it. At
such time the tendency is to accept any,
thing that provides for the present case, and
to think that no other can ever arise. In this
make-shift tendency we see q disposition to
compromise with the claim that Congress
may canvass and reconstruct or reject the
votes of Electors of President, by admitting
it, with the condition that the consent of both
Houses shall be requisite to the rejection or
revision of votes. This seems to some short
sighted persons to have nice virtues. 1t is a
compromise, by admitting the new Democrat
ic claim that Congress may go behind the re-
turns. On the other hand, it makes the plausi-
BILE condition that a thing so grave as the re-
done without the consent of both Houses.
An this seems to make the Republican situa-
tiou secrre for this time.
This seems to combine the merit of compro-
mise with no sacrifice, andto those who think
only of this time, it seems complete. But
