C, Jan. 8th, 1877. Not since 1872 has such a carnival as this been Been ifi Washington, and never beiore was there known such a jolly and grotesque sleighing carnival, none the less jolly for being im promptu. Every afternoon of the week has Pennsylvania avenue been thronged with every conceivablo kind of vehicle that could possibly be made to slide. Dry goods boxes, boats, barrels and even tubs, on runners, and the occupants nearly all of them en mask. Here, clinging to a hand- sled drawn by a black horse of gigan- tio proportions, dashes by towards the capitol a dwarf of whom his head is the largest part, the most prominent part of the head being the ruby red nose ; " Cronin's sic transit." " A model Returning Board" of six dilapi dated looking individuals astride of a plank, with carpet bags lashed to their backs and drawn by a mule blind in one eve. form another party. Don 'Quixote on his wooden horse is there, and many are the gay and extravagant turnouts beside. The sport runs wild and the fun is immense, and it will probably bo kept up as long as the snow lasts. But while King Carnival holds bis own on the avenue, King Treason at the capitol las given place to burlesque, for the treasonable plot to prevent tne inauguration ot the legally elected .resident has most ccrtaiuly dwindled to this and nothing more. In lact, lout the only persons upon Whom the radicals can now ooufit with any cer tainty to support them in their coun ting out project are Messrs Chandler, Morton and Grant; and the signs of the times are that from within the. Republican party itself is coming, to. the aid cf right and law, a force which will cause the final overthrow of the infamous conspiracy, possibly even before the 14th of February. In his remarks submitting to the Senate the memorial ot the New York merchants and bankers, Senator Conklin shad owed fourth a course of action which evidently givea groat unoauinesi to the conspirators, and it is believod that Messrs limine tnd &umunus stand on the same platform with Mr. Conk ling. Even though it be not with them a matter ot high principle, these are men with political possibilities before them which tboy will not lightly sacrifice. Morton scommittce in the investiga tion of the Oregon problem have been examining Mr. Cronin right steadily this week, but have elicited nothing upon which to gound a refu sal to accept his vote. An attempt was made to show that Ibo f J.UUU which he testified to having reooived for his services in acling as messenger to Washington was a bribe, but the result was an ignominious failure. Governor Grovcr was examined at ength yesterday, his whole testimony going to prove that in granting the certificate to Cronin he had acted in full accordat.ee with the law and the constitution of the State of Oregon. By his honest and manly bearing Gov ernor Grovcr has made many lricnds in Washington. Tho investigation by the Board of Police Commissioners came to a sud den and unexpected termination this Week, President Grant yesterday', through tbe Attorney General, trans mitting a letter to the President of the board requesting his immediate resignation and those of all tbe other members. No one appears to under stand the meaning of this coup d'etat, but the the6ry most generally accepted is that the President was influenced in his action by the lact that certain testimony given by Uie lowest ot tho gamblers, reflecting on the integrity and habits of his Alcoholic Majesty, was permitted by tho board to be published broadcast without a protest by a single member, and so King Stork gobbles them op. At last Judge Hewitt's statement that his letters bad been tampered with, bclore their delivery to biro, has born frnit, a gang of thieves having just been discovered in New York city with 5,000 stolen letters in their posession from which tbey bad secured checks to the amouut ot (3,300. Most ot the suspected parties are in custody, arid it will undoubtedly go bard with them if tbey are proven guilty. At last Comodore Yanderbilt, after surviving both Astor and Stewart, has gone in the eighty-third year ot his age to meet Daniel Drew. Tho fortune ie leaves is estimated in ronnd numbers at 100,000,000. More than your correspondent has earned daring Grant's eotirts adminis tration. It now seems as though the Euro pean war cloud, after having run corn aod wheat op to sky prices in expect ancy, was going to dissolve without calling lor further gore on any side. It is to be hoped that this latest news j will prove reliable. I Ihe House committee on commerce has decided to levy a bead-money tax on all emigrants arriving in the United States. A great Mass Mooting is to be held next Monday at Ford's Opera House unuer mo auspices ot the TUden and Hendricks Rotorm olub. It will un doubtedly be an immense affair. GuRDQB. 1 1 I TUB CO.tlPltO.TIlSE. Report ef !e Sreclal Committee. Washington, Jan. 19. The report of the loiot committee to prepare a mensu.e best calculated to accomplish a lawful counting of the electoral vote and best disposition of an questions con doc ted therewith, starts out witn a statement that tbe subject has beeo most carefully considered, and they believe tue bill accoinpuoviog besl culculuted to al lect ids Uesimi result. J here are various theories of the constitution widely diverse, and though this bill cootroverta some of them, it dues not. ia the opinion of the com mittee, violate any part of tbe constitution. Tbe constitution requires that the electoral votes shall be counted upon a particular 00' caaioo, All will agree that these are the votes or the blates, and when found and ideutifkd, there is only clerical work to be done in countinir them. This bill is there- 'fore directed merely to ascertaining for tbe purpose and aid of counting what are. the constitutional votes ot respective titles, and whatever jurisdiction exists for such pur poses, tne bill only regulates the method of exercising it 1 be constitution, our great instrument and security of liberty and order, speuks id '.he amplest language Tor all such cases in whatever aspect they may be pre sented. It declares Congress shall have pow er to make all laws wbicb shall be necessary and proper for carrying Into execution tbe lorogoing powers, and all other powers vest ed by the constitution in the government of the United states, or any department or of fices thereof. The committee therefore think tbe law proposed cannot be justly assailed as unconstitutional, by anyone, aud lor this reason we think it unnecessary, whatever may be our individuul views, to discuss any of tbe theories referred to. Our fidelity to the constitution is observed jvben we Bud that the law we recommend is consistent with that instrument. The matter then be ing a proper subject (or legislation, tbs fit ness of tbe means proposed becomes tbe next supject of consideration. In all just govern ment?, both public and private rights must be defined and determined by law. This is essential to every idea of such government, and is the characteristic distinction between free and despotic governments. However important it may be whether one citizen or another shall bo cbief magistrate for the pe riod nrnsc.ribod umin iust theories of civil in stitutions, it is of tar greater moment that tbe will of the people lawfully expressed in the choice of that officer shall be ascertained and carried into effect in a lawful way. It is true, in every operation of a government of laws from the most trivial to the more important, there will always be a possibility that the result reached will not be true. An executive officer muy not wisely perforin his duty, courts may not truly declare the law, and the legisluiive body may not enact the best laws; bat In either case to resist the act of tbe executive, the courts, or the leg islature, acting constitutionally and lawfully in their sphere, would be 16 put anarchy in tbe place of government. We think then to provide a clear and lawful means of perform ing the great and. necessary function of gov ernment in a time. of much poblio dispute, is of lar greater importance than the particular advantage that any man or .party may, in course of events, possibly obtain, Hut we have still endeavored to provide such law ful Agencies of decision in the present Pft,iA a. .hall ha flip mnflt fiiir .lid imnnrliiit possible, under the circumstances. lOncfi of the branches ol the logishture and the judic iary are represented in the tribunal in equal proportions. Ttjecomposition of tbe judicial part oT the commission looks to the selection from ditt-rcut points of tbe republic, while it is thought to be free from, any preponder ance ol s.qpposable bias, and the addition of tbe necessary constituent part of the whole commission in order to obtain an uneven number is, left to an agency the farthest re moved from prejudice of any existing attain able one. , It woold be difficult if not impos sible to establish a tribunal that could be less subject to party criticisms than such a one. The principle of its constitution is so abso lutely fuir that we , are unable to perceive that tbe must extreme partisan can asuil it. unless be prefers to embark bis wishes upon tbe stormy tea of unprecedented procedure, hot disputes, and dangerous results that can neither be measured nor defined, rather than npon a filed and regular course of law that insures peace and order of society. What ever party may be disappointed in its fjopes, the unfortunate circumstance that no provis ion had been made oo the subject before election, bat greatly added to tbe difficulties oftbe committee in dealing with it, inas much Bs many of tbe people of tbe country, members ol. the respective political parlies, will perhaps look with jealousy upon any measure that seems to involve even tbe pos sibility of the defeat of their wisbi-a. fiat i , bst also led tbe committees to M that their members are bouud by tbe highest doty in such case to let no bias or party feeling stand in the wsv ol just, rqiaj and peaceful measures for extricating the rjuestiou from tbe embarrassments that at present turroood it. , In conclusion, we respectfully beg leave to imprest apod Congress the necessity of a speedy determination dpoo this subject. It it impossible to eetimata the. material lost tbe country daily tustaiot from the exittiog state of aocertaioty. It directly and pow erfully teDdt to unsettle and paralize busi ness, to weaken public aod private credit, and to create apprehensions in the aiodl of the people that dittnrb tbt peaceful teoor of tbfir way and tbeir happiness. , It duet far more : it tends to bring republican insti tutions into discredit and to create doahtt of the loccett of oar form of government and of the rwroetaitr of oar frpohlic. All eoastderationt of interest, of , patriotita and ol jostiee anile to demanding of , the law making power a, measnre that fill bring peace and prosperity to the eoovtry and bow that car repablicea institutions are equal to any emergency j ar.d ia this con nection we cannot refrain from an exprca sion of our satisfaction that your committees, composed oi an equal nqmber or the oppos ing parties, have fortunately been able to do what bas been attempted in vain heretofore, aimost unanimously, to agree upon a plan considered by them all to he just, wise aod efficient. We accordingly recommend tbe proposed act to the patriotic sod just judg ment of Congress,. tSigned C.FO. F. EDMUNDS. F. T. FRElilNOHUYSEN, ROSCOK CONKLINO, A. O. THUKMAN; T. F. BAYARD, M.

TUB OREGON CASK. Proof that she Republicans Refused to. Act. with Cronlu-Plsiola and Tbreata. Washington, Jan. 9. -Senator Morton is getting more than he bargained for out of the Oregon case. Mr. Klippel, one ot thi Democrutio candidates for elector, and J. N. T. Miller.one of the electors appointed by Cronin. were examined. Their testi mony, went to show a distinct refusal on tbe part of Cartwright, and Odell to cooperate with Cronin. becaus they began operations by declaring a vacancy in the case ot Watts aod wept, ahead immediately to soccpt bis resignation as postmaster and replace him in tbe college. Thit of Itself places their I Blu est beyond all quoBtloo. Morton then ap- proacneu tne witnesses wuu iuiunm w now much they were paid, and was Informed that aside from receiving a single dollar they were actually out of pocket lor their travel. Iini menses to Saleui. and t::at Chairman Bellinger for this reason would not allow then) to contribute to tne sooscripnoD men bninc raised to retain counsel for the Demo crats In tbe event of the contest reaching the courts. Both witnesses testified that they, had pistols In their pockets on the day , the tiectoral College met, , IThen a Republican lawyer by tut name ot Dolnh.waa called, lie. testified to having , carried arms on' his person on tbe day the college was formed, and it seems that many of both parties utii tne tamo, at popuiac excitemunt ran si high that some conflict was expected. Jilr. Dolpb admitted, when under cross fire from Senator Keroun, that be had told Secretary of State Chadwiok tbat Uor. Grover should not be allowed to biuva the State alive.

As to the $8,000 sensation Morton Is getting fretful and exasperated over its fail ure. On Eriilay, -Charles Diinood ot. New York will show the business nature of tbe transaction from his books, And dispose of ill connection between it and the 83,000 , paid to Cronin. Representative Lane )sayt it it customary with Oregon Democrats to make up a purse for their messengers and public servants who perforin duties lo which no profit is stlached. It was done for the messenger wbo. brought Seymour's vote iij 18S8, and it wis only fair to recompense Cronin, wbohad lost heavily by his protract ed absence. , Alter Dimond and Kunyou have satisfactorily explained tbe eight thou-, sand dollar, transaction witnesses will.be called to show how Cronin's puny was raised in Oregon, and thus dispose of the lost sus-, piclon of any irregnlsrity in political matters ill tbat 8talu. - - The Uospel ot merit. , , Where there is so much rivalry as In the manufacture of family medicines, he who would succeed most give .positive and con vincing proof of merit.. , Th is Is an sgeof inquiry. vl'eople take nothing for gnnted; They must know tim'.'wluji" nni"wliereforu'', before acknowledging the superiority ol one aiticle ovor another.
