SOMETHING WRONG, But THE COMMITTEE DOESN'T
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT 1T Is.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The Committee on Priv
eges and Elections in its investigation of the Or
egon case bears good deal of resemblance to JUS
tees court. Senator Morton has judicial appear
auce, and Mr.. Mitchell takes the part of pros
ecuting attorney and examines the witnesses.
Senator Herman might be called the defendants
sttOrney and Mr.. Kelly, sitting at Mr.. Kernans
elbow aud occasionally whispering question IN his
ear, would be taken for the defendant.
There is obviously something bad in this Oregon
business. The committee has already struck a
strong scent and the nervousness of the Democrats,
and especially of Senator Kelly and Gov. Grover,
adds TO the general belief that it will lead to an i'm
portant discovery. The theory OF the oregon Re-
pnblicans here is that $4,000 or $3O,OOO was
raised IN NewYork 10 carry out the scheme OF steal
Ing the electoral vote; that Gov Illdehs intimate
advisers procured the funds and transmitted them
TO banking house in Salem; that Senator Kelly
when On his way East turned back by dis
patches from New-York TO oversee the cOnsumma-
non Of the job, and that the money was shared by
the men Immediately concerned IN the affair.
Whether this theory is founded on fact will prob
ably be developed in few days. There is no
more talk of counting Cronin's vote, and the
chief object in exposing the whole disrep-
utable tranaaction would be to bring merited
opprobrium npon the men engaged in it and upon
The party in whose interest it perpetrated, and
whose representatives in Congress have not yet
shown sufficient sense of honor to denounce it.
Gov. Grover appears determined to lay siege to
The Senate to force it, If possible to admit the pos
ahhlty Of his having acted from honorable motives
