I question. , Oa the. 22d inst.,. Senator

-.- a . great speech in opposition to Use
JT rneasnre according to the dispatches,
: one of the grand efforts of his life,
k " claiming the entire attention of the Sen-
iale and the crowded galleries. Sena
yr.tor Blaine, who. was sworn in and took
'-'This seat ou the same day, is also report
". "id to ije opposed to the compromise.
-;a:Tlie ground assumed by sumo who pro
pose voting lor it is, that it will prevent
--.ywar and gi ve peace to the country J
Of course we are among'-those who are
V" desirous of peace ; . but if, as urged by
4 some of our abtct't men, the measure is
r unconstitutional, ve are oppol to its
' Adoption. ' W are among those who
J; believe tbnE the Constitution fullv pro
vides tor couutin'g the ycles and declar--
" wig who, has been elected President and
Vice President, and we want those pro

tion of Mr. Hayes will canse no war.

NIPPING AWFUL CLOSE.
, - Before and daring the rebellion there
-- were a number of individuals scattered
' -throughout the Northern States, and,
- it is said, they were even to be found hi
Oregon, who were, known under the
, js general: cognomen of Copperheads
Who devoted a large portion of their
"time to cursing the Union ' and
Union men, and, while professing tho
. - greatest love for the Southern Confed
cracy, utterly refused, on account ot
r4 their "wive'a relations," doubtless, to
T-:, & down to that South they so dearly
: ' loved and take up arms in her defense.
Of course, as these copperhead "patri-
-ota" took nopart or share in the dan
1 gers incident tO'the war, on cither side,
largo number of them are still alive,
. and the Presidential, trouble now upon
;s Las bronght them to tho front again;

THE AL'SUEDITY OF TIIEIIi
CLAIMS.
There are a few Democratic papers
scattered here aiiif there throughout
the land ! that still claim the electoral
vote of Louisiana for Tilden,and charge
fraud npon the returning board cf that
State. They certainly have no evidence
to back these assertions, no more than j
they had when they asserted that the j
new State ol Colorado had gone Demo
cratic that despite the telegraphic re
turns to the contrary, they had from
"private sources" certain information
that the State had not only gone Dem
ocratic, but that a majority had been
secured iu the Legislature, insuring the
election of two Democratic U. S. Sena
tors ! It is fresh in the memory of all
how tenaciously these "red hoi" Demo
cratic organs stuck to it to tho very last
that Colorado ' had gone Democratic!
It was a part ol the Democratic cam
paign as laid out by Tilden nothing
more ; and this is what's tho matter
with Louisiana, with Florida with
South Carolina. Tilden organs still con
tinue to claim the electoral vote of these
States for'Tildeu in the face of every
and a'l evidence. They have no facts,
no e idcjiee, to adduce as proof ot their
claims, for these are all against them
they have only assertions, self-assurance,
cheek. "
oun fisheries.
We have twenty-six canneries on tho
Lower Columbia river, and one at the
Lower Cascade on tht) same river.
These canneries !vave a capacity ot
twenty-five thousand cases annually
each, a pand total for the twenty-seven
eateries of 675,000 cases, which, at 5
per case, makes a sum total annually
of $3,375,000. Of course tho taking of
this immense number of salmon annual
ly will, at an early day, not only de
minish the catch, but ultimately destroy
the salmon, and with them the immense
revenue to the Government and those
engaged iu curing them. To prevent
this, provisions should at once be made
to propogatethe fish artificially ,and Con
gress has been asked to appropriate
25,000 to start a salmon nursery," and
$10,000 thereafter annually to main
tain it. . The annual revenue from the
fisheries, when" rnn to their fullest ca
pacity, is about equal to the wheat crop
of tho Slate. i
GOOD ADVICE.
The Sec speaks "right out iu meet
in'," and gives most excellent advice
when it says, in reference to those "pa
triots" who took part in and engineered
the "Eighth ot January" massmeetings
of the Democracy in this State and else
where, and threatened to destroy and
lay waste the entire country, wadipg in
blood to their ankles if necessary to se
'enro the inauguration ot Tilden, that
these braves never smelt powder but to
tremble, and who couldu't whip a half
dozen squaws in a huckleberry patch,
wax warm with eloquence, and talk of
marching right on to Washington to
take Gen. Grant and tho White House.
Well, let them try it; they'll find him
there. He has .good staying qualities.
But we would advise them not to burn
the bridges behind them." This is
most excellent ad vico, and Skuknm and
bis sort will take and act npon the
advice. ,
ENGLISH PRECEDENTS
AGAINST
l . OEOVEH.
In attempting to excuse Ins conrso in
the Cronin matter, . G rover said he re
lied oh English precedents' Senator
Morton showed most ooiiclnsiVe.'y that
the preponderance of English precedents
were against Grover. And now comes
that great journal, the Londou Timeg,
arid says that Grovcrs position as to
the Engljsh law is a false one ; that ac
cording to the electoral law of England,
if the voters are unaware of the disqual
ification of a candidate, and that candi
date receives a majority of the votes
cast, then the election is void so far as
his seat is concerned. Tho more this
attempted electoral s'.pal of Grover'e is
stirred np, the more apparent becomes
his utter mendacity iu the matter. .
A New York telegram of the 23d
says : A petition to Congress in rela
tion to the compromise plan for the
electoral connt is in circulation at the
Union League Club and elsewhere in
the city. The petition makes substan
tially the . following suggestions
First, that the constitutionality of tho
proposed act should be formally passed
upon by the Supreme Court; second,'
that the judges ot the Supreme Conrt
should not be members of the commis
sion if prior adjudication by the courts
could not be explained ; third, that the
part assigned to the five judges com
ports neither with the dignity and im
partiality of the court, , nor with the
rights of the people . nor with the prin
ciples and safety or the country or its
institutions. 1 he petitioners ask that
Congress will not involve the judges of

East Feliciana parrish," Louisiana, in

Ill II ED TO ATTEND.
The Tteniocrat says that the China
men who helped to make up the small
audience that participated in the Dem
ocratic rally in this city on the 8th of
January last, were hired to attend !
We don't know that this was so, and
do tjot make tho assertion it is the
open acknowledgment of the Demo
crat ! Doesn't it look as though a par.
ty had got exceedingly well, say hard
up, when even that portion of our pop
ulation so bitterly hated by the average
Democrat wi!l not attend one of their
public meetings without first being paid
tor it ! Further comment is unnecessa
ry.
A TYPE OP THE- DEMOCRATIC
"IiEFOKMEIi."
Wade Hampton, who has declared
himself Governor of South Carolina, is
claimed by Democratic journals to be a
true Southern gentleman a chivalrous,
honorable man. To 6how what the
Democratic inkslingers mean by a"pure
Democratic Reformer, and a chivalrous
high-toned gentleman," tho Portland
liee gives a little sketch or biography
of the Hampton family: Wade Hamy.
ton, tho grardlather of tho present
would-be Governor ot South Caro
lina, with George Walker, Zachariah
Cox and Matthew J.McAllistcr, bribed
the Legislature ot Georgia for $500,
000 to grant them 35,000,000 acres of
land, c jo1 prising what is now a large ;
part ot the Stales of Alabama and Mis
sissippi then known as the Yazoo
grant. 1 his was the first instar.ee ot a
wholesale bribery of a Legislature on
the continent : and the disgrace and
death that followed such corruption on
the part ot tho - members is too well
known to require any further history of
the base transaction. 1 ho next Legis
lature immediately repea'ed tho acts ot
the former ami annulled the grant post
facto. Wade Hampton, the grand-
tatlier, then procured his electiou to
Congress, when he and his partners in
the Yazoo grant put in a claim against
the Government for $5,000,000, and
attempted to lobby it through and ob
tain payment from the Government.
This insolent attempt to rob the Treas
ury called forth the indignation and
scorn of the House of Representatives
upon the conspirators, and it was then
that John Randolph, pointing his long,
lean finger at Wade Hampton, said :
"Mr. Speaker, I hope to see the day
when a Yazoo claimant and a villain
will be synonymous terms." The pres
ent WTado Hampton, the grandson, fol
lowing in the footsteps of his ancestors,
enjoyed what remained of the'rr ill-gotten
gains, until, by fraudulent mort
gages upon his property and false cred
its obtained from his friends, voluntary
bankruptcy offered him the means ot
extricating himself from his criminal fi
nancial embarrassment and of accumu
lating a large fortune. As shown by
the records of the U. S. District court
of Mississippi, his indebtedness was $1,-
085.081, and his assets $142,443. Nor
