ALBANY, OREGON", JAN 12, 1S77. ... Commodore Vanderbilt is dead, lie was a great railroad magnate, and rep "resented property variously estimated at from 50,000,000 to $85,000,000. - Col. Pelton, Secretary of tlie Nation al Democratic Committee, when put wpon the witness stand, refused to tell who furnished the money sent to Ore gon to buy a vote lor Tilden. ' Bennett, ot the N. Y. Herald, and one May, are reported to have had a little difficulty the other day, in which liennett was knocked down. The quar rel iJ said to have leen caused by Den nett's refusal to marry 31 ay's sinter, au accomplished yonog lady, to whom IJeanett lias been engaged for some. time. And now there' talk of a duel. The Northern bull-dozers are busy trying to divide public sentiment on the legality of the election of Mr. Hayes. They were defeated- in their efforts to elect Mr. Tilden, and now hope to make the administration of President Hayes onpopular by creating doubts in the , public mind. Hie Chicago 'Tribune's Washington correspondent repeats his opinion that an agreement" is about to be reached by the Electoral Compromise Committee, by which no vole shall be rejected ex cept with the concurrence of both Houses. It is to be hoped this may prove to be correct. Tilden is rather a uice little old man, aiu't he ? He actual'y has gone so far, so the papers say, as to announce that he will not take the Government away from Grant until after the 4th of March next! We can well believe he won't, especially since lie so modestly says so! Such forbearance, unaffected simplicity and genuine modesty in one so young must cut the tyrant Grant to the core ! The ConM-itntion gives the House power to choose the President only in case of a iailure of the people to elect. Were the number of votes in the elec toral college even, there could have been a tie, or had more than two per sons received votes in the college, there could have been such a thing as no choice ; but in this case no choice was an impossibility, the contingency for an election oy the House which the Con stitution made provision for has not happened, and no declaration of the House that it has happened can stand "against the fact for a moment. That somebody has been elected, is as certain as that 184 and 185 added make S69. No party can lor an instant attempt a revolution on an assumption that can be mathematica'Iy exploded, and the Pres ident and Senate and Supreme Court would be compelled to treat as void au election by the House in a case where the House had no constitutional power to proceed in an election afc all n rc where, by mathematical demonstra tion, the people had made a choice, and where in the nature of things a failure to choose could not occur. Political matters in Louisiana "are , redhot. , There are two sets of State efficers, both claiming to be legally elected, and entitled to administer the affairs of the State Government, and draw their pay therefor. Nichols, ; the Democratic Governor, has deposed the Republican Supreme Court, and put npon the bench a set of judges" who elaim the right to seats npon the same grounds that ho lays claim to the Gov ernorship. A new police force has been Kslocted by him, and the old force set adritt. There lias" been no actual dis order at New Orleans, but there is the material fur any amount, and a crv little spark may kindle a blaze that may only be extinguished by the l effu sion of m uchjjlood.: : . J republicans have appealed to tho President lor aid, but o far he has refused to interfere. If the returning board decided rightfully as to the "vote of the State, and we be- 'lievc it did, their Packard is the Gov crnor elect, and Nichols is a usurper. Yv hat will he the result of all this is still in" the womb ot the future, but we hope, with all good and patriotic peo ple, that right and justice may prevail It is said the friends of Tilden are alarmed, as his mind shows evidences ot failing under the tremendous strain it has been subjected to during the last few months. It is thought that under the most favorable circumstances he can net last longer than a few months. r ..in i- x i. I ... . Tl;8 telegraph informs us that Fred J-Tay and James Gorden Bencett did" f ;?it a duel the other day, with no dis ci irons results.. . .

In regard to the $8,000 sent to Ore gon to pay Cronin and Grover fur their infamy in tlie mattei ot the Presidential Electorship, $2,800 or $3,000 of which Cronin received, the balance going, in all probability, to Grover, the Demo crats did not deny having received such a draft, but declared they returned it they were entirely too honest, you know, to use the money ! lint the truth will out in spite of the artful dodgers, and hero are the facts in the case : The $8,000 draft was originally fur warded by express, but not reaching Salem in time, was telegraphed, and the money used. Four days afterward the express package containing the draft arrived at Salem, and the draft, having been nsel four days previously, was immediately returned to New York. The Salem Statesman, in its report of the Stale house proceedings on the Gth of Decem ber, 187G, says : "The Democratic leadeis were very anxious during the forenoon, but just before noon, Bush, a banker, appeared, and after consultation with him, the trouble seemed to vanish, and they went ahead with their pro gramme." The difficulty was that after the programme had been arranged, Cro nin positively refused to carry out his part unless $3,000 was paid down to him, and although the most earnest appeals were made to Democrats, Bellinger, Chairman of the Democratic State Cen tral Coramittee,conldn't raise only about $200, which left $2,800 still to Taise to satisfy Cronin. The telegraph was freely used, and the gravity of the situa tion in Oregon appearing plain to Til den, orders were given to telegraph $8, 000, for fear of delays or accidents to the draft fur that amount already sent by express. Ti e money having thus reached Salem in time, Grover carried out his part of the programme ordered by Tildeu; Cronin got his $3,000, and Democracy was jubilant. But after aH this trouble, and the expenditure of so much money, the scheme, so far as Til den is concerned, is a total failure. "IXVIXC1BLE IX PEACE" THlt EATS. A few politicians met together on the 8th inst., in various parts of the coun try, and threatened in case Tilden was not inaugurated President, they will cecede, inaugurate Tilden and set up a little government on their own hook. This threat of war does not come from the South, for that section ot this great country otours has had enough of war. and her leading men declare they have I no sympathy with 6trcfi talk, and in no event will they take part in any war against the constituted authorities : that Hayes is a good enongh man for them, and it he is inaugurated, they will stand by him. The people of the North make no such threats, for they unite in demanding a fair count, and will give their support, moral and physical, to the man declared elected by the consti tuted authorities. But these threats, more or less violent, come directly from desperate politicians, "who have shamed the Nation by their revolutionary wrongs and seek to obliterate their in famy in the passions of civil strife." XO COMPliOMISE WITH THAITOJtS. And now, as a last refuge of baffled scomdrelism, says the 7Ynes comes the talk of compromise! The interpo sition of Providence is profanely invok ed in behalf of a perjurer, who, having tried to buy the Presidency and failed, and having invoked revolutionary agen cies with no other effect than to arouse the indignant hostility of the conserva tive sentiment, now proposes to nego tiate terms for the acquisition of Execu tive authority. Under whatever cover ering this "suggestion may be made- whether it emanates from Gramercy Park or a "light supper" party in Mad ison avenue it is unworthy of consid eration for a single instant. There can be no bargaining, no compromise, where troth and principle are concerned. Had Mr. Tildeu been elected, no Re publican complaint would have teen heard. His inauguration would have eome as a matter of course, and the Ke publicans would have trusted to time for their vindication. A different re sult has been brought about. Mr. Til den has been defeated ; and tlie Repub lican majority will make no terms with traitors, or with weak and timid souls who imagine that they are serving the country by surrendering to the preten sions of its treacherous enemies. Col. W. A. Owen mounted his war horse and went to Jackson creek to dis possess ye holiest miners who haA jumped his claim and driven out the Mongolians The valiant Colonel drew np his forces on chosen ground, aiiu, u rawing nw revolver, commanded them to come forth ; they came and marched up to the Colonel's weanon. which, by his kind invitation, they seiz- eu anu in turn placed to their muzzles. The ceremony ended, the Colcnel with, drew his forces, leaving ye miners in possession of the field So eays the Aeblaud Tiding - TIIE DIFFEIiEXCE. You don't hear of Republicans hold ing meetings all over the country and resolving, in advance of the decision of the Constitutional authorities, that Hayes is elected and that the inaugura tion ot Tilden will be a fraud that must and shall be resisted if it costal the life blood ot the Nation! No, you don't hear of any such meetings, or any such language coming from Republicans. It has been left to the great party that loves the Constitution so clearly to get np massmeettngs, iu which threats of blood and disunion, should Congress insist on inaugurating Hayes, formed almost the entire language of their speeches ! We do not believe the mass es of the Democratic party have any sympathy with these threats ; but the politicians who control the party have everything to hope for by throwing the country into a bloody revolution and they care not who suffer so they but be the gainers and unless the honest, right-thinking, law-abiding members of the Democratic party come to the front and, joining with the Republican party, unite in crushing out these pestiferous and unprincipled demagogues, anarchy and ruin may result from their threats. The Democrats held a meeting at the Coart House iu Portland on the 8th, at which J udge Strong is said to have used the following lauguage : I tell you, Tildeu is elected, and the inauguration of J I ayes will be a fraud. Will we submit? No! A thousand times, No ! They say Democrats won't rightabout it. Won't they? I tell you, a man who wouldn't tight under such circumstances, would see his wife ravished and his chiklrens' throats cut ! This is the language of the lowest demagogue, and is an appeal to the worst passions of the worst men. How ever, it such men as Judge Strong con tinue to insist on inaugurating Tilden whether the proper aud only legal tri bunal having jurisdiction over the mat- ter so decides or not, he may, by such i . inflammatory appeals, get a few men to take their chances for the bul'et or hal ter, but Strong will not be one of those men ; we can never believe that he would raise his hand against the law fully constituted and legally elected authorities ot this Government.

As the round trip probably cost him less than $500, he'll come back gainer, financial ly, $2,500.

The Times Washington special, on the Oregon business, says the case is thus far made out that Pelton, Tilden's private secretary, had $8,000. of some body's money set out to Oregon on the day ofthe meeting of "the electors, aud that he has since tried ; to keep the fact from the committee. It is further shown that Cronini haying been the Democratic elector receiving the high est pumber of votes, was the only per son who could carry out the Democrat ic proar-aiume-": 'that le took advantage of this position in which he found him self to lie conscience stricken till he se cured $3,000 to pay xienses of $500 at must. 1 he Cronin college cost mon ey, and nioiiey went from - New York just about the proper time that it would have been needed.
