In Western Nebraska nearly ten per
cent. of the cattle have died this win-
fer. The loss is entirely among the
Texans driven up last season. The
natives are in good condition. Snow
covers the entire range, and the streams
are frozen over. IF the weather should
prove unfavorable during the present
month, the loss, it is thought, will
amount to thirty or forty per cent.

Immediately after the announcement
that the electoral commission had Justly
and righteously decided to count Ore
gon's vote for Hayes, the Standard
man stopped clean over in his abuse of
the commission and the Republican
party generally. We were little sur
prised at this ebullition of temper from
the new editor, this sudden change in
the style and language used by the gen.
tleman from Georgia. It's all plain
enough now. According to the States
man this new editor was imported to
Oregon all for the purpose of being ap-
pointed Z. S. District Attorney, to serve
during Tilden's term as President
And when it was announced that the
Oregon decision settled the Presidential
question in favor of Hayes, and the new
inkslinger saw his office and occupation
both departing, he doubtless felt like he
had been most cruelty sold, and put in
his s'little bed" without any kiyer!

ELECTORAL COMMISSION.

= The commission decided, without a
dissenting voice, that Cronin's vote
should be thrown out, as not having
the taintest show Of legality, and then
having decided by vote of eight to
seven that Oregon's three votes should
be counted for Hayes and Wheeler,
just as the people intended, and this
decision having been confirmed by the
Senate, the two Houses met once more
III joint convention on the 9th and
proceeded to count the Presidential vote.
Pennsylvania, being next in order, was
called, and objections made on the
ground of ineligibility of one or more
electors, the Senate retired. Neither
House sustaining the objections, the
two Houses again convened in joint ses-
sion, when Pennsylvania's twenty-nine
votes were counted for Hayes and
Wheeler. Next came Rhode Island,
objected to on same ground as Penn
sylvania objection voted down by both
Houses, and vote counted for Hayes
and Wheeler. South Carolina came
next, was objected to, when the House
adjourned until 10 o'clock "A. NJ. of
"Wednesday. There are seven States
yet to be counted. OF the vote so far
as counted Hayes and Wheeler has 153,
Tildcn and Hendricks 1873. Add the
votes of South Carolina, 8, West Vir-
ginia, 5, Wisconsin, 10, to Hayes and
Wheeler's count, and we have total
of IT'S, which elects, being a majority
of the electoral votes. That the seven
ty or eighty hoodIums in Congress will
do all in their power to retard the
counting OF the vote until after the 4th
of March, there is DO doubt, but It is
hoped that the respectable members of
the Democratic party viii be able IN,
conjunction with the Republican party,
to finish up the count aud declare the
election of Hayes and Wheeler to-
day. If this is found to be impossible,
then the President of the Senate, with
or without the House IN attendance,
will finish up the count tomorrow
saturday, March By morning, when
Hayes and Wheeler viii be declared
the choice of the people. In the latter
event President Hayes will take the
oath of Office at the white House, ad-
ministered by Chief Justice Waite, on

Attorney General ogden and the slaugll.
tcr-HOuse MandaMus.

In the matter OF the mandamus directed
against the Attorney General in the suit Of the
State on the relation Of Martin LanDes, against
the SlAughter-house Company, to compel him to
sign the petit ion in order to give the REALTORS q
standing in court, Attorney General Ogden offers
the following explanation Of his refusal:
He says, were he satisfied that In signing the
petition presented to him by REALTORS he vast ger
forming merely ministerial duty, no ia claimed
In their petition, he should not hesitate; but he
believes that the State IL q party with real AND
important interests at stake in this suit. which
involves the forfeiture of the charter privileges
OF one Of the states corporal ons, and he has
therefore insisted that his duty is to exsmiae the
question thoroughly, and then BE- determined in
his proceedings solely by the interests OF .
State. This suit, IL seems. was brought under the
intrusion into Office act, under which the signing
OF the petition IL purely ministerial; but the At
torney General does not believe that this act
governs in this case, aud Ia controlled by the
seventh paragraph In section 13l Of the Revised
Statutes. He states that Mr.. Washington, the
attorney OF REALTORS, presented him the petition
for signature az q mere formality, and that he
stated to him the objections set forth above, and
his conviction that the 8 ate had resi- interests
which he WAS obligated TO represent and protect,
and he insisted that he must be given time for
consideration. The attorney for REALTORS took
different view Of the question, thought his sigma
ture to the petition q mere form, and, becoming
impatient, made his application for mandsmus.
The Attorney General will simply present his
views to Judge Rightor and then conform to his
Interpretation Of the law.
