STILL RUNORS or VAR.

The old county is still on the edge OF
war. The London Daily News of p nit,
says it is rumored in Belgrade that
Russia has informed Seryia that she in.
tends to cross the Pruth within ten davs.
The Times correspondent at Pera tele>
graphs that peace with the principalities
is considered certain. The Vienna dis
patch ofthe Times says news has been
received that the Russians are actively
working in Persia TO induce the Shah 10
join them in the event Of war. The in
ducement held out is the possession Of
disputed frontier territory. Shah does
not appear to be altogether averse to the
plan. The Turkish frontier is almost
denuded of troops, and even with 20,COO
soldiers whom the Shah can collect some
thing might be done. The chronic diff
ferences between Turkey and Persia
would furnish a ready excuse for a de-
claration of war.

OREGON SCORED FOR FRAUDt
LENT.

LEN 4.
The electoral commission has voted 5
to =" that Oregon's Watts should count
for Fraudulent Hayes. The vote was
reached by the Commission on Friday
afternoon; the vote ofCronin, certified as
elector in place Of Watts, the Postmaster,
was rejected by the unanimous vote Of
the Commission. The partizan record Of
eight to seven then came into play again
in accepting the vote Of Watts. This
gives Hayes three votes from Ore
gon.
The democratic members ofthe Com
mission voted 10 reject Cronin forTilden
because they were possessed oftoo much
conscience TO ask 4 vote for TIlden from
Oregon, when that state was faily car
ried by Hayes, and shows that they did
not act as partiEans in which the opposi-
ton members Of the Commission have
been so shamefully wanting, and have
voted all along without regard oJusiiee
and in q direction 10 make a downright
steal Of the presidency for Returning
Board Hayes. Bat then while II was
not right to give Mr.. Tilden Cronin'svote
much less was IL right or lawful to count
Watts for Hayes, because ho vas post
master and clearly ineligible under the
Constitution. Upon the proposition to
admit Watts for Fraudulent Hayes, the
IS" republicans, ofcourse, voted Eyes" :"
and the democrats, true To the consutu~
ton and law in the matter, voter "nO.'
All that Fraudulent Hayes was entitled
20 from Oregon was two electors. The
republican members OF the Commission,
went back upon their former ruling and
went behind the certificate in order 10
make sure Of Watts. This ruling would
have given Louisiana to Tilden.
Was there ever a set Of men, supposed
to be honorable, who displayed more
willingness 10 make themselves infa-
nous than Joe Bradley and his crew ?
Never The hypocrites ruled one way
to reach Florida-ruled differently 10 steal
Louisiana, and changed programme in
the Oregon case.
There are still half dozen OF cases Of
ineligible electors, the democrats will
fight them all, and the republicans on
the Commission will have to 60 on the
record in every case.
