Here waa a Republican majority Of rear1y
1000 utterly wiped out, and Confederate
majority Of 1853 substituted therefor, max
ing change in the result Of $500. Tho
T11.pEx majority in the whole State is
claimed to be 0,5+9. II is thus seen that IT
there Ind been fair election held iu these
five parishes, the majority for HATEs would
have exceeded 1000 In the State. Tho regis
tered vote in the Ave parishes showed about
10000 Republicans to 1000 Confederates;
but by bulldozing and murder tho 1000 Con-
federates succeeded IN Boating 10000 Re-
publican votes and returning for themselves
the comfortable majority Of 1868 for IT,
DEN!
When these monstrous returns came before
the State Returning Board It called for testi-
nlony as to tho degree Of intimidation, fraud,
and assassination that had been practiced,
and, after hearing and reading the evidence
Of several thousand witnesses, tie Board
proceeded to purge tho retnrns by throwing
out tho votes cast in the bulldozed precincts,
as tho laws Of Louisiana nlale it their sworn
duty TO do, and with this result:

Personal explanations aud disclaimers In
connection with the Oregon infamy mrs now
in order. Senator KELLY leads Oh with
statement, which was yesterday furnished 10
tie Associated Press aud appears among our
dispatches this morning, In which he avai1s
himself Of the only defense possible under
tho circumstances. He asserts that he had
no knowledge Of tho key to tho cipher used
by pA7nrcK in bis dispatches to T11prs, and
thatwhen ho Endorsed the telegram Of Nov. 28,
requiring deposit of $4,000 with which to
purchase Republican Etector to act with
cnos1s, he had no knowledge or suspicion
that any such step was contemplated or NEIL
toned in the dispatch. Unfortunately for
Senator KELLY, his statement ia not borne
ont by collateral circumstances, not to speak
Of tho extreme improbability that ho wonid
indorse a dispatch whose contents LIE was
ignorant Of. The saine cipher was used in
numerous dispatches which bear the sigma
tura of "KE1Lr" Alone, md in numerous
dispatches addressed to "The Hon. JAMES K.
Kxt1r" alone. II, as clearly appears by at
least ono Of the tranalations, PArn1cK was
absent from Portland at the time KELLY re-
ceived the cipher message from T1LpEA, 1t
will inevitably bo inferred that tile Oregon
Senator must have possessed tho key to tho
cipher, and hence must have known all about
the dispatch OF whose contents he now pro.
fessea ignorance. There Is room and neces-
sity for further explanation and proof before
Alr. KELLY con c!car his skirts Of the Oregon

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBTa.

Tho House Of Representatives at tho last
session passed bill prepared by Judge LAW
aRNcE, OF Ohio, compelling the Union and
the Central Pacific Railroad Companies to
mako some provision for the future payment
Of their obligations, interest and principal,
to the Government The Railroad Companies
hare been present at Washington during this
session for double purpose, that Of defeat-
ing the legislation proposed by tho House,
and also to get throngh'a n law Of their own
by which they can practically escape paying
any portion Of their debt to tho Government.
The Senate Committee OH the judiciary has
q bill, the PacIAe nailroad Committee has a
bill, and there ars several Senators who hayo
bills. These are all, except that reported
from the Judiciary Committee, in tho inter-
est Of the Railroad Companies. These bills
provide for the payment by Tic Compa-
miss to the Government Of e71o, 900 an
nual!y for thirty-six years iu full pay.
mont Of all obligations to tho Gov

that this provision on one hypothesis re-

Congress, notwithstanding tho law requires
the concurrent action Of tho two Houses 10
reject; and, finally, 1t appeals to tho Demo-
crnts In Congress, "for Tho credit of the
country, for the snke Of showing that tho
American Congress Is not composed in tho
major part Of wholly irreclaimnLle idiots, to
stop it." and, in order "to Avoit. the greatest
calamity that could befall civilized nation,
to break up the BnAp1Er Commission"
These citationB sufficiently indicate the
spirit and purpoao OF A1r. T11DEN's organs.
It Is not worth whitc to argue point Of
constitutIonality with people who do not
propose to resort to constitutional mems
to establish their claim, but desire
their faction in Congress TO break
down by violent resistancs "a Court
TINT Inns been established by tho two
Houses Of Congress in the regular and lawful
Legislative manner. The idea that the DEM
ocratic 1louso mny refuse 10 be bound BY the
decision Of tho Commission, when the law
requires the concurrent notion Of both
Houses to nu1lify thcm, Is simply revolu-
tionary. It may aa we'll be hedd that single
House by separate action Gun repeal any
other law Of the land which has been passed
by the concurrent action of the two Houses.
The House would have the same right 10 re-
sist Of its own motion the decisions Of any
other Court that haa been established by
Congress to carry out the provisions OF the
Constitution and laws. It may As well be
claimed that the decision Of every United
States Court IN every other controversy,
public and private, 1nny be objected to IN
Congress, and that, unless such decision be
sustained by the concurrent action Of the
two Houses, then It would be null and void.
This Is absurd, yet It is all that resisting
Democrats advance as their warrant for the
proposed resistance. There is, consequently,
no good In arguing with people who resort
to the highwayman's tactics and say to the
country, "Your Presidency or your lifo.
This In What the proposed revolutionary re.
sistance means. It woull be tho same II It
cn4anated from some Of tho desperate poll
ticlans Of tho Republican party in case the
drift OF tho COMMISSIONS decisions had been

pect that there would have been soma such
talk on tho Republican side IN that case, but
we should have denounced 1t then rs wo do

mission Is the creation Of a ioint acquies-

The Arbitration Tribunal yesterday dc.
cided, by o voto OF 8 to 7, not to hear testi-
luouy ns to the acsa Of the Returning Doartl
Of Louisiana This decision Ia in accord
ance with tbs one mado In tho Florida case
Last week. The Court could render no other
decision. The Constitution peremptorily
gives the exclusive power Of appointing
Electors 10 tue States, and the Etata law
must govern nil questions Of appointment,
This decision narrows the question to
tho eligibility Of ths Electors. Two
Of Tue Louisiana Electors who voted for
HAYES were ineligible when elected. They
then resigned their Federal offices add re-
signed n Electors, and were seappointsd 10
fli' their own vacauciea The question ts,
whether they, being ineligible, were ever
elected. aud whether EeSigning AZ Electors
had the elect Of creating vacancies which
might be filed by tho other members Of the
Electoral College. 1u the decision Of this
: last point tie Court will practically dscide
the case Of Oregon. The end draws near.

THE EASTERN SITUATION.

Ing ueWB 4foW Luo Et1SS3 Notwithstanding
the alleged declaration Of tho Gear that war
is needless, seems to indicate beyond tic
possibility Of doubt that Rusaia is preparing
for her ndvancs movement against tho
Turka without waiting for d reply from tho
other Powers to the recent circular OF Corr
scuAToYT, which was sont shortly after the
withdrawal Of tho members Of tho Confer
oncs from Coustantinople. If tho nows can
DO credited, there Is no reason why Russia
should wait any longer upon tho pleasure Of
tho other Powers, since the Triple. .Allianco
1t Rtill firm, aud has not beon weakened by
the withdrawal Of Austria, as 1t wns expected
would be the case. There has bsen no doubt
about the position Of Germany, for D1sMAnok
Inns publicly proclaimed the alliance with
Russia and tho impossibility that anything
can disturb It. Tho other member Of
the alliance. Austria, has now beon
secured by the Russian Abandonment Of Ser
via, which removes tho great causo Of rest
tessnesa and discomfort among tho Slavs OF
Hungary. Thoss three groat Powers acting
in hearty co-operation-Austria for tho SAX
OF acquiring the Western Turkish provinces,
Germany for the sake Of chockmating q
Frnnco.R Russian alliance, aud Husaia, for the
sake Of pupishing the Turks, getting posses-
aloA Of the territory north Of the Balkans
and m outlet to the Mediterhnean-may
safely defy al tho rest Of Europe to inter.
fere With their programme. Tho only possi-
bility OF protest, in fact, would come from
