ity.
Latte Secretary of War Rclknap indicted
in the criminal court at Washington for re-
ceiving brides, is very anxious TO have his
case tried Immediately lie doubtless feels
that he will fare better new than after the
4th OF March, when a new order of things
will commence at Washington.
The Democratic dispatches TO Oregon,
just after Tie election, it appears, do not con.
tain anything to compromise Mr.. Hewitt
chairman Of the Democratic committee. In
this they are unlike Chambers dispatches to
Florida in one of which he declared that the
State must be counted for Hayes by fair
means or otherwise"
One Of the results Of the electoral COM
mission, it is stated, will be the evacuation of
Washington by the troops. Ii will be recol.
lected that Gen. Sherman, President Grant
and other high officials denied that there was
any significance in the concentration of the
troops there 1t it meant nothing why are
they to be removed now?
President Grant has pardoned out of the
penientiary another ST. Louis whisky ring

thing in order is t. put Brislow, Jewell, So
licitor Wilson and every other man who has
advocated rcycnue-rc!orm, in the vacated
cells IF Mcdonald and his companions did
not deslve Imprisonment, then those who

The election of Judge David Davis, of
the Supreme Court Bench, TO the United
States Senate from Illinois, is not a pleasant
thing for the Republicans to contemplate
Their majority in the Senate, after the 4ih of
March, will be so small in any event, that
the election of a moderate Republican like
Judge Davis in the plare of such bitter and
uncompromising Radical as Logan, naturally
makes them anxious and afraid. 1t is a good
sign when such men as Boutwell, and Logan
are ordered to the rear
TT c breaking down of the Morton,
Chandler and Sherman conspiracy, by the
passage of the electoral bill by Congress has
already had the good effect of enhancing the
value Of Southern securities. Even the
bonds of South Carolina and Louisiana, hith.
erio unsuitable, have advanced from to 7
per cent. With the full restoration of every
Southern State to its constitutional rights
end privileges, they will speedily be enabled
to pay all their debts and contribute their
full share to the general prosperity of the
country

directed by the Constitution TO exercise the
ministerial power of counting the electoral
votes, while it was left 10 the House of Rep
rescnlatives, if he counted falsely and pro
