Considerable interest has been shown in
the Oregon election held last Monday. This
was the first election Of the year for q mem
ber Of the Forty-sixth Congress; a seat in the
Senate also now occupied by the well-known
Nipple Mitchell, depended on it.
The returns OF the election come in extra
ordinarily slow, but enough is known already
to show that the Democrats and Republicans
divided hOnOrs The first, however, reall y
carrying Off all the fruits Of the fight.
Earheart, Republican candidate for Sccre-
tary Of State, who was at the head Of the
Republican ticket, is undoubtedly elected,
and 50, probably, are all other Republicans,
save the candidate for Congress. The returns
indicate clearly that Whitaker, Democrat. is
elected to Congress to succeed Williams, Re-
publican, who now represents Oregon in the
House Of Representatives.
In the Legislature the Democrats have
elected from four to twelve majority; as they
have already a majority Of over ten holding
over Senators, they will have firm and un-
doubted control of the Legislature and will
easily elect successor to j. Nipple Mitchell in
1879. In counting up the Democratic major
ity in the Senate, the Senator from Oregon
has always been counted either as doubtful
or Republican, so that the capture of this
Senator from Oregon is a gain indeed.

Orville Grant, who is engaged in the mill
ing business" out in California, has been
opening his heart to a correspondent of the
pittsburg Telegraph on the subject of third
term for his big brother Ulysses. He thought
the "loyal sons" were already yearning for
him, and were quietly setting the triggers to
make him President again. When asked by
the correspondent why Ulysses stayed abroad
while all this was going on, Orville said, with
that open and ingenious candor for which he
is more remarkable than for his wisdom:
Gen Grant. ex rsdant of the United States,
courted, dined win "t an entertained by all the
crowned rpa If of Europe. cuts n varv ffer"nt
figure In American evas to plain 5 Grant. A
second rate farmer who cannot earn a living
and who was comp 'lled to drop politics because
OF his bad appoin m"ntS.
OrviIle here shows himself no mean judge
of character, and his conf 'ssion seems to have
a point in it when taken in connection with
the tone adopted towards Gen Grant Ivy the

In two large cities OF t1is country within
the past week lottery gambling and policy
playing have been broken up and abolished.
These cities are Philadelphia and st. Louis
In the first there were scores of policy shops
that did an immense business in defiance Of a
State statute prohibiting gambling Of this
kind The Philadelphia Times made a savage
assault on these, called on the officers to vim
dicate the law. and by it's persistence com
PEELED them finally to do 50; the result was
the arrest Of some score of policy players and
the departure of the rest for other parts of the
Union.
In st. Louis 1t is much the same story.
The Missouri State Lottery, in consequences
of a decision in its favor lately rendered by
the Supreme Court Of the State attempted to
reopen its shops and go to work again. The
result was the arrest of n number Of lottery
dealers, who were each fined 5000 by the
Court of Criminal Correction of st. Louis
The Judge declared that selling lottery tick
cts WAS unlawful by the laws of Missouri,
and announced that in future he would assess
every person who sold a lottery ticket In
st. Louis $500. The result has been, as
might be expected, the sudden but completo
disappearance OF the Missouri State Lottery
from st. Louis. There are no more of its
tickets to be found in the Future Great City,

Great things are expected Of the Greenbaok
party OF Maine. That party has sprung up
almost in night Two years ago there were
only 800 Greenback votes In the whole State,
Last Wednesday the Greenhaek convention
that met at Lewiston consisted e. not less
Ss7 members, 90 that, even if there are no
Greenbacl1ers outside Of this convention, the
vote Of the new party will be at least 80 per
cent greater than it was in 1876. That the
boasts the Greenbackers make of their
strength In Maine are not extravagant. the
sudden love shown by Blaine for "the rag
baby" is ample proof. That statesman al

yieksburg, last week, enjoyed the pleasure
OF a genuine scrub race for city offices for the
first time since the war. There were no party
nominations whatsoever; indeed, no nOmin l.
tions of any kind. not even Citizens" or
sspeople's" ticket in the field. The candidates
simply announced their names and their can
didacy in the papers and ran on their own
merits and popularity. The consequence, OF
course, was an immense army of candidates
In the field. There were no less than eight
gentlemen anxious TO be mayor, ten who
wanted the city marshalship, and nine appli-
cants for the position of wharf R2d harbor-
master.
AS VieksbRrg boasts of very large negro
population-at least half the voters of the
town are coIored-this election was watched
with much interest by the white citizens, who
were desirous of seeing how the negroes
would vote in an election like this, where
narty was altogether sunk, and where a score
81 candidates were eagerly bidding for the
c0lored vote.
The result was far more satisfactory than
any one looked forward to. The ticket
elected IL undoubtedly an excellent one and
for its election the negroes are largely re-
sDonsible. With but few exceptions they sup
ported the best men and cast their votes In

courts, their jurisdiction Is as essentially
and exclusively appellate as that of the
Supreme Court. From It's very nature the
proceeding is necessarily revisory, and in no
case can it be issued by q court having
original jurisdiction of the matter to be in
uuired into, It is invariably part of the ap-
pellate power, and can be exercised by none
other than appellate courts. TO say, then,
that power purely and essentially appellate
cannot be exercised by court because it has
appellate jurisdiction only, Is TO our mind n
palpable contradiction. If the Supreme Court
can issue the writ only in appeaiable cases, it
is practically useless, and there is no way by
which the absolute nulHty Of the Judgments
of district courts can be declared, except in
cases where appeals can be taken.
In the Goale case the court had but one
question to ask snd answer. which was In
cases of appeal from the recorders courts. to
what court are they made returnable The
court having appellate jurisdiction over the
recorders courts is, by reason Of It's appellate
power, the court and the only ono that has
authority to issue to them a writ of dcrtjOrHri
There Is but one possible case in which An
appeal from the recorders courts can be
taken. and that Is whore fine or penalty
imposed by municipal corporation snail be
in condensation, and then the appeal is direct
to thc Supreme Court. The Supreme Court.
then, (and it alonel has direct appellate iuris-
diCtion over the recorders courts, and has
the right to issue the writ in cases decided
in the last resort by the recorders and where
in fhere is no appeal. But under no
imaginable condition of facts can there ever
be an appeal from the recorders courts to
the Superior Criminal. 1t may be q debatablc
question as to whether the Supreme Court is
empowered to review the Judgments of the
recorders courts by certjOrnri. hut there Is
not the slightest shadow Of authority for the
assumption of such jurisdiction on the part OF
Judge Whitaker.

We don't always believe in Darwn's theory
OF progression, but, occasionally, we see SEN
timents and ideas given expression in the

mistakably human; but which are, at the
same time, so degraded morally, that we are
compelled to accept the missing link" as a
possibility being with human intellect and
yet totally wanting in moral perception and
all sense OF decency. This observation has

of the Southern District of New York of hav-

costs, and sentenced to imprisonment until he
paid his fine. This he declined to dO, and ap-
pealod to the Supreme Court of tho United
State for writ of hdbeus corpus. on the
ground that the law prohibiting the trans
mission of lottery matter in the malls was
unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court refused to release Jack
son; decided that the law was perfectly con
stitutional, that Jackson violated It, and
must therefore pay his fine or remain in
prison.
The court held that there was distinction
between private and printed mail matter
Sealed letters could not be opened except

tion, particularly describing the thing to be
