The government is determined to make
most vigorous prosecution Of the al
icged election frauds in South Carolina,
and during the session of the United
States Circuit Court in Charleston, which
conycncs this month, q desperate effort
will be made TO secure the conviction Of
Democrats on pcrjured testimony in
order To sustain the position Of the Re-
publicans who charge such Wholesale
fraud. With view of dignifying these
trials and giving confidence in their re-
suit, it has been arranged that Chief
Justice Waite is to be present as one Of
the Judges. OF course, lie is far above
any conspiracy with the disrcpu,able
efforts 1T oppression which are being
made in this State, but he cannot weigh
the charactt. Of the witnesses and their
motives, so that he may be imposed on
by them; but the people will be glad to
have the Chief Justice, for il will ensure
at least 4 fair exposition Of the law. 1t
is also asserted that the iron-clad oath
is 10 be administered to the jurors in
order that none but colorcd men or men
in sympathy with the Republicans in
thcsc cases may be summoned from the
bystandcrs to try them, or in other words
in order To enable them to pack the jur:es.
We do not believe that any suci course
sill be permitted by Chief Justice Waite,
for there are grave doubts as 10 the legal
ity Of such Il procedure, and beyond the
examination of n juror, on oath, as to
whether he has formcd IN opinion or not
upon the case, it is unreasonable and out
ragcous to so, except to exercise the lc
gal right Of challenge allowed either par
ty. In 1871 Congress repealed the law
requiring the test oath of Federal jurors,
but in codiying the laws it WAS put in
the Revised Statutes Of the United States
by the Radical Codilicrs, and thus Con-
grcss inadvertently rc-enactcd it. This
restoration Of so iniqutous law was cf-
fccted by trickery, and there is grave
doubt rs to its being a law. The Revised
Statutes PROCESSES to be a codification Of
the laws in existence and not the enact
mcnt Of new laws hence, any provision
contained in it is dependent upon the
original statute for its force and operation,
and as the law requiring the test oath for
Federal jurors has been repealed no such
statute exists, and the provision in the
| revised statute cannot be enforced. IF it
should be, the defendants in these cases
would have excellent grounds for appeal.
The Republicans have made so much fuss
about election frauds that public scnti-
mcnt will condemn them as arrant falsi-
licrs if they fail to prove their charges in
the Courts, and hence they will resort to
c"y means, however disrcputablc, they
think will tend to secure conviction. De-
spite these odds and difficulties we have
an abiding faith that right will prevail,
that the prosecutions will prove unsuc-
ccssful, and the Radical Ealschoods about
South Carolina will be exposed.

We are very much pleased tc see that
the Democratic Presidential slate-makers
are beginning to speak with much favor
of Senator Bayard, of Delaware, rs the
most probable nominee. We have here
tofore expressed the belief that the se-
lection should be made from Northern
or Eastern men, and Of these Senator
Bayard !s ca. choice. I.o Is The very
impersonation of truth, honor and pa
triotism. Such nomination by the
Democrats would not only secure the
party vote, but it would rally the better
element of all parties, and give to the
country canvass in which the enthusi-
asm for m honest candidate could not be
resisted. There is no more perfect char
acter in American politics than Thomas
F. Bayard, of Delaware. A pure chris.
tian gentleman, simple in his habits,
honorable and upright in his life, high
and patriotic 10 his purposes, cultivated
and able as statesman, he would make
the greatest President the county has
ever bad, and restore the government to
its original mornings

HAYES. mHED NAN on rae srunr.

By wayof exemplyfying thesinceri-
ty of President Hayes Civil Service
order, prohibiting all Federal officials
from active participation In political
campaign work, Secretary Sherman
takes the stump In Ohio with the
forlorn hope of winning some votes
for Charley Foster-the nistra-
tion's own candidate.
Mr.. Sheridan's initial address, TO
borrow one of his adroit epIthets, Is
extremely foxy. After quoting a
bewIldering array Of figures to prove,
what no sensible man ever dreamed
Of denying, that coin Is a better and
safer money than inflated paper,
he afirms that the Democrats,
though favoring resumption, voted
agoinst the Resumption act 70 no
other reason than because It was a
Republican measure, thus opposing
what "should have been supported
by everybody In the land" To in
dicate tho historical value OF Mr..
Sherman's averments In this con-
nection, we shall content ourselves
with remarkIng that he, Republi-
can member Of the Senate Committee
on Banking, registered his vote
against the Resumption act-a cir,
cumstance always carefully excluded
from his speeches.
Space Is too precious to be wasted
In exposing 1.-THE Of Mr.. Sherman's
deliberate uuveracities. We need
only direct attention now TO the sur
passing gentleness with which he
treads on the Germs OF his "Green'
back friends'' ip Ohio. But palavel
Of this sort won't defeat Ewing, al,
though a plentiful use OF Treasury

about it

one head sings while the other talks,
or both can sing together, one voice

ell saw thom during his sojourn at
Washington several years ago and
drew vivid pea picture in his cor

gave it as his opinion that Mile was

nails substantiate the accuracy Of his
views, though we have not seen as

Dowell favored us with.

CAMFoRNIA ELEcTIoN.

From yesterdays dispatch it is diff.
hcult to determine the result of
Wednesdays election in California.
A full vote was poIIed, and thecount-
ing was progressing slowly. The
indications were that KaIIoch, the
Kearney candidate for Mayor OF San
Francisco, was elected. In the Con-
gressionaI and State election the re-
suit is in doubt, with the chances in
favor ef the Republicans We give
the following as the last report yes
terday:
SAN FRANcINCIsco, 2:15 A. M
Scattering returns from the interior
foot up in round numbers, Perkins
1900, Glenn 1,1OO, White 1 600.
Our readers must remember that
Perkins is the Republican candidate
for Governor, that Glenn is the Dem
ocratic and Il. B. candidate, and that
White is the Kearney candidate.
Without good return from the
country counties it is most likely that
Perkins is elected.
We have nOthidg definite from the
Congressional election.

been studying local political geography
a little, and find that the distribution Of
political sentiment is one Of the pecu-
liarities Of this pivotal State. II Is
as if a cup of water were spilled within
a circumseribed space on dusty floor.
II scatters hither and thither in tremu-
lous little globules, and sometimes a
number of these coming together form
respectable sort Of q pool. So 1t is
here. There are great many pools
of Democratic water, but the Republi-
can dust is sandwiched in with IL occa-
sionally in most perplexing manner.
Take, for instance, the five counties
along the Scioto valley railroad. Frank
lin rolls her Democratic majorities up
into the thousands. Pickaway is al
ways counted upon for thousand /;
Ross and Pike each for half of 1t, and
Seioto, although "ficketty" and unrelia-
ble, gave Bishop 800 majority in 1877,
and may confidently be expected to do
as well for Ewing. Branching out from
this stem on the eastern side are Lick
ing, Muskingum, Fairfield Ewing's
own eounty-Perry, Hooking, vinton,
Monroe and Washington, all stoutly
Democratic. Wedged in and intermin-
gled with these in the most confusing
way are Noble, Morgan, Athens, Meigs,
Gallia, jackson and Lawrence, just a.
strong the other way. On the western
flank Of our line Of "stalwarts" a phe-
nomenon of similar nature exists.
That side Of the bread is butteIed down
with a streak of Republican counties
until the river is reached. There
Adams and Brown present themselves
as bulwarks against the enrolling cur
rent, and give steady majorities, as re-
freshing to the Democracy as the "ahad-
ow Of great rock in weary land"
But here am at tho end Of my us.
ual space, and have consumed most OF
it in preliminaries, without getting
down to real representations. In my
next, after better posting myself, ! will
undertake to say something. l find
that the Democrats here have a keen
eye upon Maine. If the Republicans
are defeated in that State, ii will bC
worth 10000 votes to Ewing and Rice
PHoNO.

The Bee says thefollowing telegram
detailing the situation Of the troops
was received from Boise city yester-
day:
Col. Orlando Robbins, chief of Col.
Demands scouts, arrived here this
evening, having left the command
on the 27th ct the mouth Of Loon
creek. He lad come TO that point
to meet a pack train loaded with
supplies sent from this place some
ten days before, under the charge of
Lieut.. Patten. Patten had got of
on the wrong trail and could not be
heard from. It Is supposed that he
has gone over to the south fork OF
Salmon river, and fears are entertain
ed for his safety, and he has a small
guard. Bernard had reached Big
creek on the 18th inst, and Farrow,
with his Umatilla scouts, had jumped
three or four IRdians that night but
too late to follow them up. The next
morning they started down Big
creek. The Umatillas, under Far
row, were ahead and soon jumped
up the Indians land gave chase he'll
ter-skelter down the creek, the COM
mand following up close. The In
dians left everything they had in
their camp and abandoned 35 horses,
which fell into the hands Of the
Umatillas. AL the supplies they
had taken from Galley, except what
they had used, were re-captuaed.
One soldier belonging to Catiey's
command was shot through the hips
and died the next day. On the Goth
after the command had climbed q
high mountain the hostiles stole
around and attacked the pack train.
The command went 70 their relief In
hot haste, but the rear guard had al.
ready repulsed them. Capt. Forse
is still in pursuit Of the Indians with
about 100 men, packers and all, with
about eighteen days rations, and viii
work towards the South fork and gel
supplies from Warrens If they arrive
from Mount Idaho. Bernard will
send to Yankee for immediate sup
plies and strike the hostIles If they
undertake TO escape towards tht
Lemhi. The country is rough be-
yond all description and Bernard'I
horses are jaded down, having beer
in the mountains over three months
Bernard has had no communication
with Warrens, and does not know
that Raines was killed on the 18th

oREGoNs REPRESENTATIONS.
We CO0s Bay Arqus says

The Coos Bay Argus says:
During Oregon's entire 20 years of
Statehood no Representative in either
House Of Congress has ever been al
lowed to succeed himself from this
State. But two members from here
have been twice memberc on the floors
of Congress formerly Sena-
tor, was, years afterward, returned to
the lower House, and Grover, first Rep
resentative under the State organiza-
ton, now occupies seat in the Senate.
The Argsls is little off on this. Jas.
H. Slater, now U. S. Senator, was
elected to Congress In 1S70-at the
time Grover was first elected Governor.
But the fact remains that our people
do not, as a rule, return their Congress
siOnal representatives. And yet there
Is ne State In the Union that needs
able representation so much as Oregon;
and without experience there can be no
able representation. Men can't learn
to be statesmen in single term in Con-
gress. The great strength of the New
England and the South ern States is in
the experiences of their representatives,
not in their maiden ability Thomas
H. Benton was a myth-a mere cipher
when he first represented Missouri in
the councils of our country; bat after
he had served thirty gears in the United
States Senate his voice and his infiu-
ence were powers that swayed the ma
tiOn. Henry Clay was only Bowling
Green horse jockey when be was sent
to Washington, but he quickly learned
the secret of craftsmanship and diplo-
macy, and his constituency gave him
the chance, by continuing his appren-
tieeship, until he learned the trade.
Kentucky, wieh Clay, Crittenden and
Breckenridge from year to year in their
familiar seats, was power only equalled
by Massachusetts, with her Sumner,

sylvania with her Ste ven
We are not making specific argu-
ment in favor of the return of any one
Of our representatives in COngress-as
the DEMocRAT has never been the Or
gan of any mans preferment-but we
do think that our young commonwealth
needing legislation as she does
would derive greater benefits if we
should discover sufficient talent for
representation and continue that talent
in Office until it could be brought into
utility.

erection which would have been cred.
liable to any class OF men. And the
adjourned meeting that night, al
which Kearney spoke and counseled
moderation and order, was further
testimony Of the sound Judgement

good conduct OF the thousands In II
