The Western Union Burning TeIe-
grams by the BusheI.

WASHINGTON, January 7.-7Since Fri
day last over cart-load of kilograms have
been sent from the office of the Western
Union Telegraph Company in this city to
the New York office. Included in this
freight are all the messages sent from this
city to the Southern States having refer
ence 10 the recent political campaign.
They are to be destroyed at once. If
questioned by any Congressional commit
tee as to why this course was determined
upon, the officers of the company will
hold that under the Constitution no citi-
zen is to be deprived Of his liberty or
without due process of law.
The kilograms are to be made way with
in advance of any process of law reaching
the company, to the end that subsequently
there will be no occasion for violating it.

Elector Cronin's Case.
MORTON runs AGAINST THE
WRONG MAN.

GOV. GROVER FULLY EQUIPPED-DEMo-
Gratis ANXIOUS FOR INVESTIGATION.
Special Dispatch to the Bait. Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Gov. Grover
was before Morton's committee to-day
for q considerable time, and after
a searching cross fire left a most favor
able impression on all the Republicans
present, apparently on even Morton
himself. The latter began the investiga-
ton in his peculiarly snappish and inso-
lent manner, but Gov. Growers signified,
quick and lucid replies entirely disarmed
his antagonist, and with an evident air
of disappointment he changed his tone
and treated the governor with marked
respect. He had found q foeman worthy
of his steel. From the opening to the
close of the inquiry it was nothing but Il
succession of defeats for Morton, who
wriggled out of one position into another
and showed the nervous anxiety of one
who finds himself with an elephant on
his hands. He begun by throwing out
inquiries that tended to impugn Cover
nor Growers honesty in his decision, es-
pecially limiting that he had acted on
suggestions which came from the East
But the governor drove him from this
position by stating that his decision had
been carefully complied, after duly hear
ing arguments on both sides of the case
and purely on his own judgment as a
lawyer. His replies proved him wonder,
fully versed in legal lore and precedents
bearing on this case. Morton was
equally unsuccessful when he approach sd
the governor as to judicial power over
that gentleman quoted on authority
from 1Iorton's own statement showing
that the duty of issuing commissions and
certificates of election are political acts,
and the responsibility rests alone on the
discretion of the executive gs eonserva-
tor of the constitution. He regarded the
paramount when any con-
flict was discovered between its pro- |
visions and those of the Oregon con-
stitution, and had acted accordingly in |
certifying to Cronin's election. Finally |
NJ orton, with good show of ccnse |
1uence, referred to Mr.. Patrick's visit, |
out of which republicans have tried to |
extract something sensational, and on |
this point Governor Grover replied |
with cutting Indifference that the gentle
man had called on him and remained |
ten minutes. That he was very
much occupied with official duties Mt the |
lime, and Regarding the call merely as
one of courtesy oh him us governor, had
paid little or no attention to Mr.. Patrick's /
remarks. And when the governor said
he knew nothing of any transfer of
money from New York, Morton pettishly
remar ked he was not willing to continue
5he examination further while Senator
Mitchell was absent, and covered his re-
5reat by postponing the Investigation till
when the Investigation will
be concluded.

EX-SENATOR TRUMBULL ON THE PRES
DENTAL CoNTRovERsY.-Ex-
Lyman Trumbull addressed meeting of
citizens in Chicago on Saturday evening
on the questions relating TO the presiden-
tial controversy. Speaking of his obser-
vationsss in New Orleans, he said: "The
real Tilden majority was 9,957, as the
democrats could show from sworn state
ments drawn from the registration books
and voting lists. No statement of intimi-
dation had as yet been filed, but when
the republicans found themselves beaten
they set up the cry of intimidation and
'bull-dozing,' &c., &e. When contested
return came in before the board it was
taken into private room, into which no
democrat ever entered. When a return
was all right it was taken into a private
room to be compiled. The board refused
to send to the clerks Office and get the
duplicate returns, or get copies, on the
pretense that the had nothing to do with
what was not sent to them.
They would only canvass the votes be-
fore them. In addition to this the Uni
ted States marshal appointed deputies al
So day under thepretense of preserving
the peace, the majority of them being
colored. And yet this board, even by
taking advantage of technicalities which
which even they had committed but
hadn't counted when on their side, found
Tilden's majority over 5000. AfterwaId
the republicans declared, without why
or wherefore, that the Hayes electors
had something over 5000 majority
When Wells Of the returning board was
asked if he had proper count of the vote
a full statement Of it,for general informa-
tion, he said he had not, but he thought
he could have one made As forintimi-
dation, Mr.. Trumbull said if the truth
ever came out he believed it would be
found that there were more murders, more
scourgngs, more whippings, and more
abuse Of colored men by their own race
for voting the democratic ticket than
af colored persons by whites for voting
The republican ticket.

FATAL SLEIGHING ACCIDENT.-Wed-
nesday night sleighing party from As :
toria approached the Hunters Point ferry
to Thirty street, New York. The
sleigh was drawn by two horses, and con-
tanned, beside the driver, three ladies and
three gentlemen. From some cause the
gate ofthe ferry was open, though the
boat had left the slip. The speed at
which the horses were going and the slip
perry descent to the bridge rendered'it inn
possible to stop the team, and horses,
sleigh, men and women were precipita-
ted into the water. All but one of the
party were rescued. The missing man is
VIM. Fearens, Of Astoria. One lady had
her arm broken. The horses went under

HANGING THEMSELVES.
How the Republicans Hare Mired the

WASHINGTON January THE Re-
publicans will find, when Colonel Pei
ton arrives to give testimony before
Morton's committee concerning the
use of money in oregon, that they
have been laughing on the wrong side
of the mouth. 1t will be shown. it is
said by Pelton's and concurrent testi-
mony, that the mouey sent to Oregon
from New York was for the purpose
of employing counsel to make an ar
gumept before Governor Glover that
under the constitution of the United
States and under the State of Oregon
Grover could take no other course
than to issue a certificate as an elector
to Cfonin. The Democrats have pur>
poscly given the Republicans good
deal Of rope in this business, so that
they mIghtthe more easily hang them

RESORT NECESSARY To THE DEMOCRATIC

WASHINGTON, January THE Presi-
dent has appointed the new Police Board
here, only retaining Murtagh, the organ
editor, as President of the board, and put
ting on Fred Douglas as the other Repub
ican member. The other three, who
constitute majority of the board. are cit
izens ofprominence and character and
Democrats in politics, and their selection
meets with popular approval. The
House will probably order an investiga-
ton into the charge that Murtagh got up
a conspiracy to defame Tr. Whitthorne,
Chairman of the Naval Committee, and
thereby break the force of his investiga-
tion into Secretary Robeson's Office. Mur
tagh says the charge is utterly false.
