THE OREGON DECISION.

The following is an abstract OF the report of
the majority of the Electoral Tribunal in the
case of Oregon:
The EleGs0ral Commission, having received
certain certificates and papers supporting to be
certificates of the electoral votes of the State
of Oregon, and certain peppers accompanying
the same, and objections thereto, report that it
has duly considered the same, and has decided
and does hereby decide that the votes of w. H.
Odell. j. G. Cartwright and J. W. Watts, the
persons named in the certificate Of the Secre-
tary of State of Oregon as the persons receiy-
ing the highest number of votes for Presiden-
tial electors, are the votes provided for by the
constitution, and that the same are lawfully to
be counted as testified to in the certificate of
said electors, namely, three votes for Ruther-
ford b. Hayes, of Ohio, for President, and
three votes for William A. Wheeler for Vice
President.
The report further sets forth that the election
of Watts by the other two members of the
Electoral College was in accordance with the
constitution and laws of Oregon. The grounds
for this decision, so far as they concern the eh-
gibility of Watts, are substantially that it is
competent to go behind the certificate of the
Governor SO far as the same is not founded
upon the action Of the canvassing or returning
authority provided for by the laws of the State,
which authority the case of Oregon is held t.
be the Secretary o. State.
The report also takes the ground that it is not
essential to show.that an elector was eligible on
the 7th of November, provided it be shown that
he was eligible when he cast his vote in the
Electoral College, and the fact appears that the
alleged ineligible elector, Watts, was chosen t.
fill vacancy caused by his own absence from
the Electoral College, and that he was not incl
igible at the time he cast his vote. The report
is signed by Messrs. Bradley, Edmunds, Fire
linghuysen, Garfield, Hoar, Miller, Morton ant
Strong.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA DECISION.

The report of the Electoral Commission to
the two houses of Congress, giving the grounds
on which it reached its decision, is signed by
Messrs. Bradley, Edmunds, Frelingbuysen,
Garfield, Hoar, Miller, Morton and Strong. 1t
reads as follows:
The Electoral Commission, having received certain
certificates and papers purportng to be certificates
and papers accompanying the same of the electoral
vote from the State of South Carolina, and the OBJ
ections thereto reports that it has duly considered
the.same and has, by majority of votes, dacided,
and does hereby decide, that the votes of c. c. Bow
en-, John Winsmith, Thomas b. Johnston, Timothy
Hurley, w. b. Nash, William Cook and William +.
Meyers, named in the certificate of Gov. Chamber
lain, which votes certified by said persons, as
appears by certificates submitted to the commission
aforesaid, and herewith returned, arc the
votes provided for by the constitution of the United
States, and the same are lawfully TO be counted as
therein certified, namely Seven votes for Ruther-
ford Il. Hayes, of the State of Ohio for President
and votes for William A. Wheeler, of the State
Of New York. for Vice President. The commits
sion by majority Of votes, decide and reports that
the seven persons first before named were duly
appointed electors in and for said State Of
South Carolina. The brief ground of this de-
csion il, that il appears upon such evidence as by
the constitution and law creating this commits
sion is competent and pertinent TO the considera-
ton of the subject that the aforementioned cleo
tors appear TO have been lawfully appointed such
electors of President and Vice President of the
United States for the term beginning March 4, 1877
of the State of South Carolina, and that they voted
as such at the time and in the manner provided for
by the constitution of the United States and the
law, and the commission has by majority of votes
decided that it is not competent under the consttu
ton and law to go into the evidence aliunde the
papers opened by the President of the Senate to
prove that other persons than those regularly
titled to by the Governor of the State on and 90
cordrg to the determination of the appointment by
the returning officers for elections in said State
prior TO the time required for the performance of
their duties had been, appointed electors by
counter-proof to show that they had not, that the
determination of said returning officers was not in
accordance with the truth and fact, the commission
by majority Of votes being of opinion that It is not
within tie jurisdiction of the two houses Of Con-
gress assembled TO count the votes for President and
Vice President to enter upon the trial of such ques
