TIT Ss. 600 oRAFT.

IN regard to the SS, 900 sent to Ore
gon to pay Cronin and Grover for their
infamy in the matter OF the Presidential
Electorsliip, $500 or $4,000 of which
Cronin received, the balance going, in
all probability, to Grover, the Demo
Gratis did not deny having received such
a draft, but declared they returned it,
they were entirely too honest, you know,
to use the money! But the truth will
out in spite of the artful dodgers, and
here are the facts in the case: The
So, 900 draft was originally forwarded
by express, but not reaching Salem in
time, was telegraphed, and the money
used. -Four days afterward the express
package containing the draft arrived at
Salem. and the draft, having been nsel
four days previously, was Immediately
returned to New York The Salem
Statesman, in its report of the State
house proceedings on the 9th of Decem-
Der, 1876, says: 'sThe Democratic
leaders were very anxious during the
forenoon, but just before noon, Bush, a
banker, appeared, and after consultation
with him, the trouble seemed to vanish,
and they went ahead with their pro-
gramme." The difficulty was that after
the programme had been arranged, Cro-
min positively refused to carry out his part
unless So, 900 was paid down to him,
aud although the most earnest appeals
were made to Democrats, Bellinger,
Chairman of the Democratic State Gen.
tral Committee, couldn't raise only about
$500, which left s., 800 still to raise to
satisfy Cronin. The telegraph was
freely used, and the gravity ofthe situa-
tion in Oregon appearing plain to Til
den, orders Were given to telegraph S.
900, for fear of delays or accidents to
the draft for that amount already sent
by express. Tie money having thus
reached Salem in time, Grover carried
out his part of the programme ordered
by Tilden; Crouin got his $1,000, and
Democracy was jubilant. But after all
this trouble, and the expenditure of SO
much money, the scheme, so far as Til
den is concerned, is total failure.

.'LNFLNCTBLE IN PEICE'''
THREATS.

A few politicians met together on the
8th inst, in various parts of the coun-
try, and threatened in case Tilden was
not inaugurated President, they will
cecede, inangnrate Tilden and set up a
little government on their own hook.
This threat of war does not come from
the South. for that section of this great
country OF ours has had enough of war.
and her leading men declare they have
no sympathy with sucfr talk. and III no
event will they take part in any war
against the constituted authorities !:
that Hayes is a good enough man for
them, and if he is inaugurated, they will
stand by him. The people of the North
make no such threats, for they unite in
demanding fair count, and will give
their support, moral and physical, TO
the man declared elected by the consti-
tuted authorities. But these threats,
more or less violent, come directly from
desperate politicians, "who have shamed
the Nation by their revolutionary
wrongs and seek to obliterate their IN
fanny in the passions of civil strife.''

Political matters in Louisiana are
redhot. There are two sets of State
officers, both claiming to be legally
elected, and entitled to adD,inister the
affairs of the State Government, and
draw their pay therefor. Nichols, the
Democratic Governor, has deposed the
Republican Supreme Court, and put
npon the bench set of judges who
claim the right to seats upon the same
grounds that be lays claim to the Gov
ernorship. A new police force has been
selected by him, and the old force set
adritt. There has been no actual dis
erder at New Orleans, but there il the
material for any amount, and a very
little spark may kindle blaze that
may only be extinguished by the effu.
sion Of much blood. Republicans have
appealed to the President for aid, bus
40 far he has refused to interfere. I
the returning board decided righttull,
as to the vote of the State, and we be
lieye it did, then Packard is the Gov
ernor elect, and Nichols is a usurper

pie, that right aud justice may prevail

The Constitution gives the House
power to choose the President only in
case Of a failure of the people to elect.
Were the number of votes in the cleo
toral college even, there could have
been q tie, or had more than two per
sons received votes in the college, there
could have been such a thing as no
choice but in this case no choice was
an impossibility, the contingency for an
election by the House which the Con-
stitution made provision for has not
happened, and no declaration of the
House that It has happened can stand
against tie fact for moment. That
somebody has been elected, is as certain
as that 1S4 and 185 added make 500.
No party can for an instant attempt a
revolution on an assumption that can be
nlathematieally exploded, and the Pres
ident and Senate and Supreme Court
would be compelled to treat as void an
election by the House in a case where
the House had no constitutional power
to proceed in an election at ALA case
where, by mathematical demonstra-
tion, the people had made choice, and
where in the nature of things a failure
TO choose could not occur.

NO coHPRoMISE WITH TRAITORS.

And now, as last refuge of baffied
sco1ndrelism, says the Times, comes
the talk of compromise The interpo-
sition of Providence is protauely invok-
ed in behalf of a perurer, who, having
tried to buy the Presidency and failed,
and having invoked revolutionary agen-
cies with no other effect than to arouse
the indignant hostility of the conserva-
tive sentiment, now proposes to nego-
tiate terms for the acquisition of Execu-
tive authority. Under whatever cover
ering this suggestion may be made
whether it emanates from Gramercy
Park or ssligIt supper'' party in Mad
ison avenue-it is unworthy of consid-
Grafton for single instant. There can
be no bargaining, no eompromise, where
truth and principle are concerned.
Had Mr.. Tilden been elected, no Re-
publican complaint would have teen

come as q matter of course, and the Re
publicans would have trusted to time

lican majority will make no terms with

Tile Democrats held meeting at the
Court House in Portland on the 9th,
at which Judge Strong is said to have
used the following language:
/ tell you, Tilden is elected, and the
Inauguration of Hayes will be fraud
Will we submit No! A thousand
times, No! They say Democrats WON'T
fight about it. Won't they /? / tell
you, man who wouldn't fight under
such circumstances, sco,tld see his aoife
ragished and his chilelren's throuts

This is the language of the lowest
demagogue, and is an appeal to the
worst passions of the worst men. How
ever, if such men as Judge Strong con-
tinue to insist on inaugurating Tilden
whether the proper and only legal tri-
bunal having jur sdiction over the mat
ter so decides or not, he may, by such
int1ammatory appeals, get few men to
take their chances for the bullet or hal
ter, but Strong will not be one OF those
men we can never believe that he
would raise his hand against the law
fully constituted and legally elected
authorities OF this Government.

THE DIFFERENCE.

You don't hear of Republicans hold.
ing meetings all over the country and
resolving, IN advance of the decision of
the Constitutional authorities, that
Hayes is elected and that the inaugura-
ton of Tilden will be fraud that must
and shall be resisted if it costs the life
blood of the Nation! No, you don't
hear of any such meetings, or any such
language coming from Republicans.
1t has been left to the great party that
IoUes the Constitution so dearly to get
up massmeetings, in which threats of
blood and disunion, should Congress
insist on inaugurating Hayes, formed
almost the entire language OF their
speeches We do not believe tile mass
es of the Democratic party have any
sympathy with these threats; but the
politicians who control the party have
everything to hope for by throwing the
country into a bloody revolution-and
they care not who suffer SO they bnt he
the gainers-and unless the honest,
right thinking, law-abiding members OF
the Democratic party come to the front
and, joining with the Republican party,
unite in crushing out these pestiferous
and unprincipled demagogues, anarchy
and ruin may result from their threats,
