Tho Storm on Mt. Washington.

The storm that swept over the summit
of Mount Washington on Friday night was
the worst ever recorded at signal station as
coming from the cast. The wind blew 40
miles an hour, and the mercury ran down
to within three degrees of zero. The ba-
rometer changed at times a tenth of an
inch in half an hour. A heavy snow storm
accompanied this gale, and the signal SER
vice men had TO board up the eastern win
dow Of the observatory to keep it from
blowing in. The highest this winter was
on December 1G, when the instrument
measured 200 miles an hour, and The Their
momcter stood at forty-sevcn below zero.
On that day the observatory trembled fear
fully and threatened to blow away several
times.

The Oregon Case.

The house democrats, uneasy over the
Oregon investigations of Morton's COM
mittee, have decided to call before the
Knott committee, the members of the re-
publican national committee and ascertain
how they conducted the presidential cam
paign. If this is persisted in, Morton will
retaliatc and summon the democratic COM
mittee, and even Gov. Tilden himself.
Prominent republicans at Washington have
for SOM time been urging the Morton COM
mittee to call Tilden and make him tell
just how much of his own money he spent
at st. Louis, and in the campaign, but
there has been a strong dissemination
among fair men to descend to such person.
%alities, If, however, Knots committee
undertake to imprison Chandler, the fight
on both sides will become very bitter.

LOUISIANA COMPROMISES.

For four years Louisiana has been the
scene of anarchy, turmoil and misrule.
For four years has it been presided over
by an executive without the shadow of a
legal cam to his office. Who has been,
during these four years, the de jure gov
ernor of the state it would be now impos-
sible to tell. William Pitt Kellogg was
made governor, as William A. Wheeler
says, mot by reason of any ascertainment
Of the %facts,' but solely by an illegal
order of a federal judge, and upon a can
vass made by q returning board without
any returns before it. The Legislature OF
four years ago was counted in in the same
way, and by, also, as s. B. Packard, now
claiming to be the republican governor of
Louisiana, said, by "counting ballots at
I" tached to afldavit5 OF colored persons
" wrongfullY prevented from voting" By
a count of the vote on the face of the re-
turns, John McEuery, democratic or con-
servative, appeared to be elected, or, as
Senator Carpenter expressed it, "the Nc
" Emery government, although in fact
" elected, was nevertheless elected by such
" gross and all pervading fraud as ought
A" to vitiate the election"
This then was the situation for two
years. The Kellogg government the
creature of fraud and usurpation, and the
McEnery government the creature of
fraud the one claiming power by virtue
of votes that never had been cast as well as
by votes that never had been counted, and
the other by an illegal and Unauthorized
count of fraudulent votes and certificates
Illegally in their possession. The notorious
midnight order Of the federal judge was
utterly void, and so was the pretended can
yass which declared McEnery elected. But
the president saw fiji to recognize Kellogg
and his legislature, while congress-, which
was largely republican in both branches,
refused to recognize either, but utterly dis
carded both Kellogg, McEnery and their
pretended legislatures.
Two years later-1S74-a new election
was held In Louisiana, and again the re.
turning board took the matter in their own
hands, and, by disregarding the returns,
certified to the election Of o legislature not
elected by a majority of the legal voters.
Again does the president stretch out his
long arm, and recognize this illegal legisla-
ture but the congress, through such men
as William A. Wheeler, George II. Hoar
William P. Frye, Charles Foster, IT., and
William Walter Phelps, investigated the
matter, and, IN their report, a preamble
and resolution was unanimously adopted

The Electoral Count.

There can be little doubt, says a Wash
ington special, that the senate branch of
the electoral joint committee have agreed
on a fair plan for counting the electoral
vote, though there is a good deal of dis
pute over the details nor can there be a
reasonable doubt of its success in the sem
ate and house. Any plan which Edmunds
and Conkling and Bayard and Thurman
agree to will go through both houses, moth
ing can stop it. But it is a tact that a class
of house democrats, of whom are Randall,
Wood, Knott and Springer, is doing its
very best to break down every chance of
compromise. They seem to want to fight,
for when Hewitt refuses to call a national
convention TO meet here to intimidate the
senate, they quarrel with him. The coun-
try will do well to watch the extremists in
both houses, for the next few weeks, but
at this present moment the democratic ex-
tremlsts in the house are doing more mis-
chief than their republican allies in the
senate. Anything that Edmunds and
Conkling agree to will pass the senate
easily enough, but Randall, Wood, Spring
or and Knott and Tucker can ~endanger the
passage of compromise measures in the
house, if they try.

Nothing Lost by Christian Charity.

One of those toil-ba7dened, true-hearted
chaps often read Of in romance made his
appearance OH the Campus Martins yester-
day, aud his sympsthies were at once
aroused by the sight of three or four old
men stanClrg around with their buck-saws
and waiting for work.
"Ill be hanged if it isn't tough" he re-
piled when they told him that they hadn't
had any work Tor a month, GLOW would
you like some oysters ?"
They smackel their lips by way of reply
and he gathered up a crowd of eight,
marched them to a restaurant and ordered
oyster stews for each one.
SIT Just does my soul good to zee them
eat ~ he said to the owner of the place as
the eight got to work.
"Yes ; it's q beautiful sight, was the re-
at makes me feel good in here" contin-
ued the stranger, laying his hand on his
heart.
"A good deed brings its W reward"
was the soft answer Of the restaurateur as
he calculated his profits.

he rushed out and brought N three negroes,

The fifteen people went for oyster soup
in a manner to amaze, and their guardian
nudged the restaurateur in the ribs and
said
"See the gentle lambs Oh, that | could
reed the poor of all America ~
"You are a good man, and heaven will
reward you" replied the proprietor, as he
filled the dishes up again.
The stranger said he wanted TO bring in
just five more, so as to say that he had fed
an even score, and he rushed out after
them, while the restaurateur sent after
more oysters and crackers. The stranger
didn't return. He was last seen climbing
into a farmers sleigh on State street AMI
guiding his team to the west. The fifteen
in the restaurant licked their plates clean
and departed in joyful procession, and the
last II had passed out before the mat who
furnished the soup had got through waiting
for the return of the big hearted stranger

The improperly, not to say indecency,
of a ca6iuet officer conducting a political
campaign as chairman of q national com.
mittec, was shown by the testimony of
Zach Chandler, Saturday. He stated that
he had, since the election, probably sent a
telegram to Florida saying that troops
would probably be sent there 70 boon tho
he sent the dispatch on his own motion,
basing his refusal on his privileges as a
cabinet officer. Undoubtedly q cabinet Of
fcer is privileged from disclosing confden-
tial communications passing between him
and the president in the course of execu-
tive business, and no power can compel
him to disclose them; but is it decent for a
cabinet officer to communicate the inform
alton thus received to party friends for the
purpose of influencing an election or the
declaration of the result, and then claim
the protection of such privilege and refuse
to disclose the same information to a COM
mlttee of congress?

Surprising the proposition of the senate
committee, to refer all cases of double re-
turns from a state to a tribunal, consisting
of five senators and i've representatives.
one of the ten to be dropped by lot-and
the four judges Of the supreme court long
est IN %serviit, should pass, and a republican
should be dropped by the lot, the tribunal
would then consist of Fix republicans, Six
democrats, and one independent-Judge
David Davis of Illinois. If this tribunal
should divide, es they would be very apt to
do, according to their politics, then We
should have that standing candidate for the
presidency, Davis, deciding the contest. II
DAVIS can't be president, he may, perhaps,
be the next thing to it-a president maker.

Rev. Beecher preached on Sunday on his

direct reference to the new Congregational
association, of which he is not q member.
Word, he said, was brought to Paul that
preachers were traducing him. Nature lies
very deep, and 1t required a deep stroke
down to reach It, but when Paul heard
these things it was very probable there was
some upheaving of his nature. Who was
to judge of orthodoxy Was he to remain
silent-the oldeat of them all2 Paul did
not care what they said, so long as Christ
was preached. 1t was an awful thing for a
