THE FLORIDA DECISION.

The decision of the Florida case in
favor Of the Republicans is just what
has been expected for several days in
the past. When the vote was taken that
the Commission had no right to 60 be-
hind the returns. then the matter was
virtually settled at once. and the pro-
ceedings since have only related to the
carrying out of the prescribed form OF
law. In making the report to the joint
convention, it was stated in defense OF
the decision that the Commission had
no power to hear evidence outside OF the
certificate of the Governor which was
itself founded upon the determination
of the Canvassing Board Of the State for
its vote. This was the main point made
by Evarts i'll his great speech, and was
decided by q strict party vote. Then it
was also held that the Commission
could not consider as evidence any act
of the Legislature or Courts in deter.
mining whom the State had appointed
Electors, after the day said Electors had
given their votes. The question as to
the ineligibility of Humphreys was de-
termined by the evidence, or rather BY
the want of the same, and in conse-
uuence the united vote was given to
Hayes. In accordance with this action
the Secretary yesterday morning deliv-
cred to Vice President Ferry the formal
rerort, together With all the certificates
and papers which had been referred. A
notice was also given to the Speaker OF
tho House to the same effect. At the
proper time these two bodies met and
the decision was read. Then written
objections were made by five Senators
and twelve Representatives,. and this
caused the two Houses to separate &C.
cording to the provisions Of the bill
When the Senate had been called to
order in its own Chamber, an effort was
made blythe Democrats:to cause non-con
currence in the result, but their attempts
were unavailing. and by a strict party
| vote of 40 to % q resolution was carried
to concur in the decision of the Com.
mission. In the House motion was
| made to adjourn soon after the retire.
ment of the Senators, and contrary to
the objections Of the Republicans this
vas Afterwards carried into effect.

THE OREGON REPORT.

Apropos OF the favorable decision for
the Republicans in the Florida case,
like result will also ensue when Oregon
il reached. The vote of this State has
already been accurately considered by
the Committee in the Senate, and the
same will be submitted in the early part
of the week. The report will be an
elaborate one OF its kind; the testimony
of the various committees will be
summed up in detail, and the action of
Grover in giving certificate to Cronin
will be largely discussed. The docu-
ment will be summarized under the fol-
lowing heads:
First-Conceding that Watts was in
eligible, the Governor of the State had
no jurisdiction to decide this and all his
action in the premises was void
Second-Inat the question of Watts
ipeligibility was never Ieised before any
competent tribunal; he did not take his
seat in the College on the ground that
he was made an Elector by the votes of
the people, but in consequence Of his
election by a majority of the College and
therefore his vote cannot now be ques-
toned.
Third-Under the laws Of Oregon the
Electors present on the day of the meet
ing of the College may fill any vacancies
occasioned by death, refusal to act,
neglect to attend, or otherwise: there
fore, admitting for argument, but not as
of fact, that the election by the people
was void, the College has full authority
to fill the vacancy.
Fourth-The Governors certificate on
its face shows that two Republican
Electors were chosen. These were
majority of the College, and the only
ones contemplated by law to fill vacan-
cy. Their record of the proceedings OF
the College is the only one admissible,
aud it shows that Cronin did not attend
the meeting or participate in its proceed
ings; that be sat, himself, % the Elec-
toral College of Oregon, and proceeded
to fill the other places without shadow
of authority under the laws governing
the case.

Have Senators and Assemblymen
ever thought that the present Legisla-
ture, with an aggregate Republican
membership of Is in total of IS, is
being "run" by the Democratic mi
nority! 1t is to be expected that the
Reformers {" will shape the course OF
the Senate; but may it not be wise for
the Republican House to have q care
lest the Democracy continue to use
the Assembly as a convenience to the

to tax church property, just as other
property is taxed, lis founded in alb
stract right and justified by considera-
tons which are good deal more sub
stantial than abstract. Here and there
q struggling church might we'll be ex-
empted from taxation, no doubt; but
when church holds and occupies val
liable properties, the need Of its taxa
ton and the unfairness of its exemp-
ton from tax are manifest. Look at
the vast property owned by the Trim
ity Church corporation in New York.
That society owns an immense rental
and enjoys princely income and yet
it pays not a cent of tax, under the I'M
wise laws of New York. Quite lately
they have remedied this state of things
in New Jersey and so amended their
Constitution as to include church
property in the Assessors lists.

much, and I did not go. The South is
still the hell-black South, and will re-
main SO for a good while longer. Cal
thage, where l am now, is quite decent
place. The people are mostly from the
North. This accounts for my being

The House Committee on Louisiana
affairs have submitted a report in regard
to the election in that State, and the
conclusion is that the vote should be
cast for Tllden. Townsend made .
minority report that the Republican
electors were elected, and that the cleo.
ton was legally examined and declared
in compliance with the Constitution
These reports will probably have no
weight whatever with the Commission.
but in accordance with the decisions
which have been made in the Florida
case, the vote Of Louisiana will be de-
cided.

The .Business Mems Union. ;,

Mr.. EDlToR:-You have somewhat hastily.
but l am sure Internationally done an Injustice
to an honorable association of gentlemen by
giving in your issue of Wednesday morning
further circulation and endorsement to the
item in Tuesday evenings Advertiser rejecting
on Messrs. Fouse, Hershberger & Co. of New
York and Boston, and stigmatizng their agen-
cy as bogus concern.
Permit me to correct your assertion that the
paragraph in the Advertiser was substantially
correct. 1t was substantially incorrect, and to
give some facts that may change your opinion
and which shall be glad to verify to you at
any time. l have been attorney for this firm
in this county since January, 1875, and in all
their dealings with me, have found them hon
CRADLE and liberal. l am acquainted with their
system and character of reports the manner of
obtaining them, the prices paid for and the
compensation received from them, and can
safely assure you that Messrs. Dun. Barlow &
Co.'S rating book could not be of any service to
Messrs. Fouse, Hershberger & Co. in making
up their own books for one simple reason that
Fouse, Hershberger g Co.'S agency never pub.
lish ratings'au have no rating system, except
that every subscriber has the rating power in
himself when the facts and figures are given
him 1Cith dates.
This bogus conaern" has been in business
a few years only. 1t now controls over thirty
branch offices, and has on its subscription list
many If not most of the wholesale firms in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other
large cities, firms who have tested tie system
and found 1T reliable.
The paragraph referred to is simply the re-
suit of rivalry or enmity between the older
firm of Dun, Barrow & Co., and the young but
fast growing agency of Fouse, Hershberger &
Go. +. H. & Co. obtained for its New York
office, copy of d. B. & Co.'S rating books such
as all subscribers receive. Messrs. D. B. &
20. Claimed the book as always their property
wherever found, and after long discussion
and strong feeling on the 28th ult., the book
Twas replevled by D. B. s. Co. from r II. &
| Co. OF New York. not of Boston as your para.
graph stated. This book was retained by T. Fl
| q Co., and used as a directory to confirm local
business lists OF business men, for names alone
