IT?" THE EU3EHE CITY GUARD. EUGENE CITr.ORKGON. HATOllDAY. '.TAN. HO, 1877. Politicians, no matter to what par ty tbcy belong, nro tardly to bo con . - sidorcd responsible persons. They have always been notorious for doing ridiculously foolish things. The crowd now at Washington, however, holds the pole that knocks tho persim mons in that lino. They bavo sum moned to that city to "testify in tho Oregon electoral caso A number of men who know absolutely nothing of th matter at issue. Denny, for in stance, testified that ho saw Chudieick jaw the certificates to 'Crottin and that ho saw Bush jo into the State Treas urer's office with Bellinger. And thon comes J. M. Johns, an, animal found by lien. Ilolladay and now owned by J. Mipplo IIitchell, and Bay that ho "understood" that Grovcr wanted Chad wick to count Watts out and to count Cronin in. This kind ot "testi mony" might do to convict a man ol liorso stealing on, or of soiling liquor to infants, or even of arson, but it don't seem to fit tho caSo in hand. Tho good work of raising woman from her lowly sphero goes bravely on. A Presbytery in iv York on tho 4th iiist. concluded tho trial of Itcv. Dr. Leo for a violation of St. Paul's injunction and of tho rules of tho church in allowiii'' n woman to occupy his pulpit, in which they found him guilty of ' unwilful violation" of theso rules. That church would seem to bo a proper subject for missionary labor on tho part of tho friends of hu man woman freedom. Gov. (Jrover, in ono way and mi other, has dono more to brinr Oregon into notico than could half a dozen Boards of Immigration. His' action and published opinions in tho Watts Cronin case havo made him and Ore gon both famoim, and henceforth peo at a disianco will turn with inquisi tivo interest to a place that furnishes such mci as our Governor and minds cnpablo of scotching tho most un scrupulous combination of fraud and corruption that havo ver disgraced our country. Tho "half civilized Wes terner" will hereafter bo counted a factor in politics. Tho Christian Advocate, of Port land, has quit religion and gono into politics espousing tho cause ol Grant, Chandler and all tho other thieves. It is very painful to see how that paper has degenerated since Dr Dillon was displaced as its editor. The N. V. Jfmihl says : "The Or- egon Electoral uuiddlo is encouraging to stockholders in lunatic asylums." It looks something as if the inmates of about six first-class asylums had been engaged to pnss on it.

From tho dispatches of the 17th it appears that the joint committee of tho Senate and tho IIouso has agreed on a plan to ascertain who shall bo President of tho United States for the next four years. According to a dis patch to tho Now York World it zau bo authoritatively stated that tho con ference committees of the two houses on a plan to verify and count the elec toral vote havo virtually agreed. On tho lGth tho main feature was adopt ed by a decided majority. This feat ure proposes a tribunal ot arbitration, to bo composed of tho first five judges of tho Supreme Court, to bo selected in the order of their length of service on tho bench, lo this arbitration is to bo referred all questions of law and equity arising out of contested teturns for decision as to which is tho proper return to be counted. Their decision, however, is not lo be final, as has been foreshadowed in some quarters, but is to bo left torevision by Congress. The two houses are to bo briefly do bato it and then vote upon it, If belli do not agree to reject it, then it is to remain, aod tho return submitted for such volo is to bo counted for a valid electoral vote. Tho arbitrators are lo net co-ordinately directly with tho two houses of Congress, through tho President of tho Senate, ami tho de cision submitted by tho former is to bo passed upon separately by each liouso, but announced to tho joint con vention, If both tho Senate and House of Representatives decide lo reverse, then tho return involved is not to be counted. Tho whole plan, it is expected will bo submitted to Congress. The San, irancisco Post has found "day light," and hero is how it does in: "The vote, of Indiana was as follows : Jliiyrn , (W,111 Cooper Total Tllden Democratic minority Now let us try it this way : Tilden Cooper .!M7,i;il .21l),.r2li . -1,118 ,.2in,.w.
