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.

THAT $3,000 DU AFT.
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.

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.
