THE la TEST FROM WASHINGTON

The two houses met in joint conven-
ton at 81 o'clock Wednesday evening,
and after counting South Carolina, Texas
and Tennessee, separated on Vermont,
and the House at once adjourned. 1t
was expected the count would be con-
cluded to-day, and that the President of
the Senate would declare Hayes elected.
Two hours will be consumed on Yer
mont, and two on Wisconsin, but unless
some unity of action was agreed on last
night by the Democratic majority in the
House, the last act in the drama of fraud
will be finished to-day, Thursday.
1t was reported in Washington yester-
day that Hayes had reached there We'd
nesday morning, having travelled with
great secrecy, or in disguise.
Wednesday was day of great excite
ment and fierce contest in the House,
the Democratic minority, only about So
fighting to delay the count. They were
determined, and ready for a row. The
leaders in opposing delay were, Fernan-
do Wood, John Young Brown and Hew-
lit. The House refused to have read the
volume of six hundred pages of the South
Carolina investigation.
The contest and running discussion
was carried on by Democrats almost en-
tirely, and both sets denounced bitterly
the Republicans and their friends. The
best hit of the debate was by Vance, of
North Carolina, suggesting as the epitaph
of Hoar, the successor of Webster and
Sumner, the words, "that evidence of
fraud be not received" )" this, with a
representation of the stealthy fox devour-
ing the Louisiana pelican, he thought,
would dress off Hoar's mortal remains
admirably.

WE suggest that our political oppo-

WE suggest that our political oppo-
nents, instead of trying to count in Hayes
regardless of law and right, turn their
attention a little to the real question, and
show that he has a good title to the
Presidency. We have seen fraudulent
Governors and Legislatures in Louisi-
ana and other States, getting and hold
ing their places by fraud and force. We
have seen, also, in years gone by, car
pet bag scoundrels hold profitable pla-
ces by similar tenure. The Eight and
their friends at Washington seem in a
great hurry to consummate their wicked
ness and declare Mr.. Hayes the winner.
We suggest mature deliberation, and the
propriety of going Slow. We admit
they are quite close to the White House
with their man, but is not his title taint-
ed with fraud2 Do not knayery, dis
honesty, nay, perjury too, mark every
step of Mr.. Hayess approach to the
White House ? If the Mortons, Sher.
mans & Co., care nothing about the ii.
tie, the people do care, and, in due
time, will show these gentlemen.
The fact is, it is not best to hurry in
this matter too much. The way the
office of President has been served o.
late has been disgusting to good citizens
and little cool deliberation might be
advisable. The eight gentlemen of the
Commission are evidently anxious tc
railroad Mr.. Hayes into the White
House, otherwise they would have pre-
served their consistency better. In the
Florida case they decided in favor o.
the Hayes electors because they were
regularly certified to by the Governor
of the State of Florida, in and according
to the determination and declaration o.
their appointment by the Board of State
Canvassers, &C. In Louisiana, too
they decided not to go behind the Gov
ernors certificate. In Florida, however
the Eight say;
And they are, further, of the opinion
that by the laws Of the State of Oregon
the duty of canvassing the returns of all
the votes given at an election of Presi
dent and Vice President was imposed
upon the Secretary of State, and upon
no one else. That the Secretary of State
did canvass these returns in the case be.
fore us, and thereby ascertained that J,
G, Cartwright, w. H. Odell and J. w.
Watts had a majority of all the votes
given for electors and had the highest
number of votes for that office, and by
the express language of the statute those
persons are decided elected
So in Oregon the Governors certif-
cate is of no consequence. In two ca

the Republicans claimed his appoint,

ton, but by the Governors certificate.

WHAT MIGHT HA We BEEN.

Nearly all the Democratic leaders are
rehearsing what might have been done
ifthey had boldly asserted what they in
tended to do two months ago. If fthey
let Hayes usurp his Office they will in
less than sixty days realize what they
failed to do in not keeping him out
Washington Cor. Enquirer.
"Infrm of purpose" has been the ruin
of many good cause and the timid
neglect in not resolutely seizing and inn
proving the moment of wavering oppor-
tunity, has been attended with lasting
and disastrous consequences. Most boys
learn that to deal with nettle the only
safe way is to grasp it "like man." Mr..
Wood, of Wisconsin, shouted in the
House on Monday, "We are towards il
we don't defeat the infamy." 1t was de-
layed, but the fraud went on Hayes

Mr.. SAM BowIEs, of the Springfield
Mass Republican, thus pleasantly re-
fleets on the work of the Great Electoral
Commission:
Louisiana gave Tilden over 5000 ma
jority on much the heaviest vote ever
polled; Oregon gave Hayes about 1000
majority. Political burglars in Louisiana
put up job to steal the eight Electoral
votes from Tilden; a counter burglary of
one Hayes vote was attempted in Ore
gon. The Electoral Commission decided
that there was no way of recovering the
stolen goods in the Louisiana case; it has
found a way of restoring the Oregon vote
to its rightful owner"

Congress was. removed and the Commits
sion adjourned to meet in the Supreme
Court room at twelve o'clock to morrow.
The report in substance is as follows:
The Electoral Commission having re-
ceived certain certificates and papers pur-
porting to be certificates ofthe electoral
votes of the state of0regon and certain
papers accompanying the same, and oh
jections thereto, report that it has duly
considered the same and has decided,
and does hereby decide, that the votes
of W. II. 0dell, j. G. Cartwright and j.
w. Watts, the persons named in the
certificate of the Secretary of State of
Oregon as the persons receiving the
highest number of votes provided for by
the constitution, and that the same are
lawfully to be counted as certified to in
the certificates of said electors, namely:
Three votes for Ruth erford B. Hayes, of
Ohio, for President, and three votes for
William A. Wheeler for Vice President.
The report will further set forth that the
election of Watts by the other two mem
bers of the electoral college was in aCcor-
dance with the constitution and laws of
Oregon. The grounds for this decision,
80 far as they concern the eligibility of
Watts, are substantially that it is compe-
tent to 60 behind the certificate of the
governor so far as the same is not found
ed upon the action of the canvassing or
returning authority provided for by the
laws of the state, which authority, in the
case of Oregon, is held to be the Secretary
of State. The report will also take the
ground that it is not essential to show
that an elector was eligible on the 9TH of
November, provided it be shown that he
was eligible when he cast the vote in the
electoral college, and the fact appeared
that the alleged ineligible elector, Watts,
was chosen to fill vacancy caused by his
own absence from the electoral college,
and that he was not ineligible at the
time he cast his vote.

and lei in air and moisture to the roots,
holes are made in the ground near the
vines, and in them small quantities of this
substance are exploded, loosening the earth
to the depth Of about eight feet. How

PRoPAGATING PLANTs.-Our lady friends
will be now preparing for their gardens,
and few directions coming from our own
experience may not come amiss. Any la
dy, with no more trouble than is required
TO procure slips, can readily raise all the
young plants she may desire. The prepar-
alton is as simple as this: A saucer or
soup plate, partly filled with clean sand,
and the water kept above the surface. Set
this in sunny window, and insert your
cuttings. An ordinary plant will root near
ly as readily as in propagatng bed, and
may then be transferred to small pots of
earth. But remember to let the stems of
your geraniums dry thoroughly on the cut
surface before inserting. The verbenas
may be put in as cut. The pink slips may
be pulled, not cut, from the extremities OF
growing shoots. The begonias, heliolropes,
etc., may be inserted at once.
When potting, use small pots, and rich
earth we'll lightened up with sand, so as to
give complete drainage, and do not remove
TO larger pots until the roots thoroughly
fill the pots in which they are growing.
Give plenty of air, keep we'll pinched back
and when the time comes for removal 10
the borders, you will have plants which it
will cheer you 10 tend.
