At Eureka last Friday after noon John Chamberlain, i possession of a wood ranch 35 miles from toa? was attacked by Robert Brown, who claimed the property, supported by two other men, all armed with repeating rifles. Chamberlain's thigh was broken by the first discharge, but he maintain ed the fight on bis knees with a six shooter and two shotguns,killing Brown and at the same moment falling dead himself. - Tbe Chicago Daily Nexm,, an inde pendent paper, says: "Congressman Joe Blackburn, a leading Democrat, professes t be very confident of Demo cratic success in 1880. He ti'ika the Democrats will concentrate their efforts upon New York and Indiana, as Ohio and Naine are lost to them. He tb'iks the Presidency will be given to New York, and that the nominee will be either Petter, Got. Seymour or Sfnford H Church; that the Vice Presidency will be given to Indiana, and that the nominee will be either McDonald Hen cUicksi, Yeothees or English.

There is no deubt that most of the recent ca lamities of our party may be attributed to that source.

The lesolt ii all the elcooons of late yea-s shows that the salva'ion of tl:e Democ 'aVic party is a return to tbe old paths it trod for so me ny years 'i tri umph.

Some such must be nominated or we caonot hope for slctory. We must have a candi date who has never bent his bead to the ficHe winds of poprlar prejudice, but has been as true as steel to Dem ocracy and bis country. That soit of a man we can cluster sroi'nd with a (ull hope that our cor utry will be relieved from deapo Jsm and oppression, and that Had'ctJ anarchy snd comuuu-'sm wi1! be at an end. it on w ivm racr.

The ie cent failure of Representative Charles EL Yoorhis, of the FiOh District of New Jersey, renders it necessary that he should devote bis ?idiidaal alien- lion here? fie r to business. He has therefore decided to resign bis teat in Congress. Yoorbis wss elected last year as a Republican, from a d:slrict usually reliable as Democratic, as a re rslt of a spl;t in the latter party, aa Independent and Greenback candidate receiving enough votes to defeat Def orest, tbe regrlar nonviee. The vote in deta:l was, Yeoibis 10,893, Demo-rc-t 10,089, Potter 3,268. With the Democrats of the district vn'ted on one candidate, there is no sort of doubt of their cairy inz it. This' will be the case in the present instance, and the Demo cratic majority ia the House a '11 be In creased one. The New Jersey delega tion now stands Republicans, for"-, and Democrats three. The change will give the odd number to tbe Democrats, and give them control of 19 States in the House. When Godlove S. Orth is ousted from, and J.

It will be remembered tbat a aub-coas- mlttee of the U. S.

Moore, wbo was declared elected by the Legislature from this ward, told witness tbat a clerk in the Packard Legislature used answer for members when the roll was ealleti. Moore gave witness to understand that he oeuld tell a tale about Kellogg . election that would be vsoffl to the Democrats, out of which they covld make pile of money. They agreed to do this, Wat Moore being offered a place ia the cus tom boose, whiob he accepted, would now testify to the contrary. Slsnch ard, now dead, gave Moore S00 blank regulation papers to use ia the 7th ward. Moore said tbat the ward went Democratic, but was counted for the Republicans. After tbe election tbe reg'ttraUoa books were taken U the custom bouse and the names etaaed. D. 1L Monior, U. & Supervisor ia the 7th ward election ia 1873, testified that the election was very fa'r. No trouble occrrred. No pretest wss entered, yet poll 3 was thrown out by the re turning board. Nearly S00 rotes were at this poll, which gave about 170 jority for tbe Democrats.

Editor Democrat: In an editorial of last week's Demo crat upon tbe subject of "Euormous Electioneering Machinery" this para graph appears: "The federal govern ment unquestionably has tbe right to put its deputy marshals at every voting place in the land, if necestsry to the peaceable and honest election of mem bers of Congress; but this ower ought not to be used unless it is necessary, and it ought not in any case to lie used on psrtixan grounds." To the last clause of the aragraph quote i no ob jection can be taken, but I regurd the roKMiiiion aatumed by J ou In tbe first as wholly untenable- If you are right ia the ositien assumed as quoted above President Hayes was right in vetoing the appropriation bills Containing a re pealing clause of tbe law authorizing the use of deputy msrthals at the polls, snd the Democratic members of Con gress are without excuse for making an extra seat Ion of Congress necessary to pass the appropriation bi'ls. Congress has no more constitutional authority to control tbe election of members of Con gress or Presidential electors than it has Governors or members of the Leg islature of tbe several Statex All are State electors, held under State author ity and the qualification of electors pre scribed by the constitution of each State. Tbe 28th Congress aSrmed, by a vote of 126 to 57, that a member of Congress was tbe officer of tbe State that elected him, and among those vot ing to affirm this doctrine are such dis tinguished lights of the Republican par ty as Hannibal Hamlin and John P. Hale. And in tbe year 1797, whea tbe Con gress wss composed of men fami'iar with tbe spirit tbat actuated tbe fra users of our federal constitution, W m. Blount was a Senator from tbe State of Tennessee and for corruption in tbe dis cbarge of bis duties articles of im peachment were preferred against him by the House of Representatives aad he was tried on them by the Senate, and although proved ' guilty was, in February, 1798,aequiUd on the ground thai At tMu? a feierol officer, on I tht, therefore, tho Seviie hid no power to by turn. And butt, though not least for out day and time, that eminently partisan machine known as the Electo ral Commission, tbat fraudulently placed ia the executive chair a defeated caudf dato for tbe Presidency, had the grace and honesty to admit tbat the Electors ware Statt officers, aad tbat the elec tions at which tbey were appointed were State elections t Tbe catch-phrase "national elections" is aa invention of Radicalism to cap ture tbe unwary into the belief that it it the duty of Congress to supervise the elections ia the several States of mem bors of Congress aad Presidential elec tors because they discharge federal functions it is a grand step toward centraliiation not to be retraced wi J- out a hard struggle. Mr. Hayes well understood the importance of these "National election" easts whea he ve toed the appropriation bills because of the repeal therein of tbe unoonstitu tional features of the elec'Jon law. And notwithstanding his approval of the appropr iation bills thus passed the President virtually said to the peo ples representatives in Congress : " If you take from me tbe power to sur round the polls ia the several States oa election days with all tbe deputy mar shals I see fit to appoint the govern ment may ttaryeT This "National election law" ia fraught with great dan ger, and is a standing menace to our re publican institutions, aad I regard it as the mission of tbe Democracy to wipe the foal blot out Yours, WlIXAHETTK. Ia the mala our correspondent is correct, and if he had well studied aad digested our article to which he finds objections lie would bare certainly dis covered the same views. His criti cisms are technical and querilous. Our space does sot permit of argument, but if our friend will consider the law which gave the power to United States Marshals aad their deputies ia matters pertaining to elections he will be forced to admit the legal right of their pres ence at the polls. That ia al we ad mitted ia our article, while deprecating and denouncing the Iniquitous law that created this system of despotic espi onage. If our friend "Willamette" had carefully digested the context of our ar ticle he would have seen that we in no manner endorsed the Marshal spy sys tem. Our first sentence reads as fol lows: "Whatever excuse Radicals may offer for the appearance ef U. S, Mar thala at the polls it is shown to be a species of most villainous, outrageous partisan machinery; and the oaa point wbich the Democratic majority in the butt Congress maintained ia its long contest with the Fraudulent President was its refusal to appropriate money for the payment of these marshals and deputies." We would like to pursue hia ques tion farther, but ' the readers of. the Democrat have already read our last article on the subject and are (entitled to other matter.
