THE EUGENE CITY GUARD.
EUGENE CITY". OREGON.
SATURDAY. JAN. it7, 1877.
Plain FacU.'
Vbcn the present tesi6a of Con
gress began tho Presidential mnddle
was at fever boat and almost s breath
less suspense prevailed. Yet id the
beat ot the' excitement, iff the ftidst
of doubt and confusion, there were
men not a few who Imagined that
that was the time lor" them to air their
wisflom. . Various plans Were Bug
gesled by which all the difficulties at
tending "the count"' were to be easily
overcome. Sorwa proposed constitu
tional amendments in and out of Con
gress; others looked to existing legal
provisions as co'vering the case ; oth
ers, again, tarnod to time honored
precedents, until every man of note,
apparently, in the country bad bis
theory of the settlement of the ques
(ion before tho people. But each and
every suggestion sceued to vanish in
the light ot investigation. Constitu
tional amendments could not be
Adopted in time to reach tho present
emergency; precedents were intor
' prolod as not binding, and the consti
tutional provisions and legal enact
ments bearing on tho case were ex
plained away; the old "ship of stale"
was whirling in a political maelstrom
and yet no conclusion had boon reach
ed exoept ono, and that was that
every one had a theory, but nobody
bad a practical ono. To disinterested
persons our conduct in general was
about as sensible and consistent as
would be displayed by a lot of luna
tics on a ship foundering in mid'Ocean
It would appear seriously ridiculous
for a man in a sinking ship to din
courfo on the art of or tho defects in
ship-building, yet that is just what
we bavo witnossod to an exlont that
Is appalling. A great ship at sea
freighted with the lives, hopes, for
tunos and the future welfare of thin
and unnumbered fenerations of hu
roan beings is rocking and whirling
apparently to destruction, whilo lu
natics on board aro pointing out tho
defects in its construction and tearing
tho calking from the Joints and seams
to expose its intrinsic weakness, in
etoad of seizing tho means to keep it
afloat.
In tho confusion of the time tho peo
plo and their leaders, if there aro an
worthy of tho name, seemed to forget
that a littlo honesty was all that was
needed to sottlo tho commotion. Un
fortunately tho authors of our Consti
tutioil and the founders of our system
of Government mado no provision fun
it to bo defined or administered by
dishonest men. Thoy did not antici
pate the fact that wo should ever bu
bo degraded, so corrupt, that dishon
esty would be considered respectable
Nothing short of divino revolution
could possibly have enabled mon to
forosoo the tirao when such meu as
Kellogg, Chamborlain aud tho mem
bers of the Returning Boards of Lou
isiana, South Carolina and Florida
would find a prostituted partisan
press to justify and defend their
crimes. No unbiased patriot could
then rcalizo that criminals, outlaws
and usurpers would ever find defend
ers in the Congress or Presidential
mansion of tho United States, yet
such is tho fact to-day, and one of the
dominaut parties in tho United States
rolics upon tho crimes of its members
to keep it in power. Our ancostors
eiipposod that at least a majority of
tho pcoplo would bu honest for all fu
ture time, aud that men who sought
honors aud places would havo self-respect
enough or pretend to have-
to submit to the will of tho majority,
They supposed that those who valued
liberty and good government would
labor for tho preservation of both,
and it is reasonablo to conclude they
do, and, reasoning from this ooeclu
sion. wo are forced to believe that
such men as defend crimes and crim
inals and attempt to profit by their
own wrong, aro not only dishonest
bat are enemies at heart to good gov-
rnmcnt,and therefore traitors, at war
with our institutions and ready upon
any pretext to aid in the overthrow
' At the system adopted by onr fathers
.and bequeathed to as as the grandest
heritage and the greatest blessing
ever devised by man.
We read every day complimentary
remarks concerning the gallant hear
to! of lbs nea la lb otb, whosubroit to
tht vilest penoestios oi ho are advised to
lie rather tUn resist crlms la any shspe. Is
ot sach language disgrace to oar country,
oar sg sod oar iostUutiost T Is liberty so
doer that v nant submit to srery Cora of
outrage, sod oppression to preserve it f Or
does history teach u that liberty vss tver
preferred by beiog d-9f roved f Tbe theory
god argument are contradictory and clearly
jodicats that ts need brsreaod booeet mea
to' rise op with tbe fa lo one band and tbe
sword or linstock lo the other, and to eo
forth declaring that tbe lair roast and shall
be respected.
Honesty of purpose and a dotermmstioo
that bonestv must prevail are essentials in
tbe present contingency ; aud so fur as the
evidence advanced indicates the crisis seems
to be a straggle bet ween honest and dishon
est men and its ultimate settlement will show
conclusively whother the power to control is
in tbe bands of honest men or outlaws-.
The "little" Republican "sheets"
have no respeot for "Constitutional
aw" -the arbitrary edicts of Grant,
Chandler and Co., are both Constitu
tion and law to them. Perhaps if
they had paid more attention to "Con
stitutional law" they would not have
blundered into voting for a Conslitu
tionally ineligible elector.
Tub Compromise; Bill. In another
Dlace will be found the bill under
which the counting of the vote is pro
posod to be made. It is probably as
good as anything that could be devis
ed by human agonoy. If the members
of the Supreme Court give a fair, un
biased decision in tbe matter there are
very few who will believe that any
other result than the inauguration of
Tildon can be attained. Every day
makes his caso stronger. Even Mor
ton, who has made con uption a sub
lime thing, has declared that lildon
is elected, though in the same pan
graph he asserts that he lies about it.
lu a speech in Congress one day this
weok ho declared that there was no
power in existenoo to go behind tho re-
tarns mado to tho President of the
Senate. If this be true, then there is
absolutely no question, for the legal
ly certified returns from Oregon will
give Mr. Tildon ono majority. But
nothing could be more fatal to our re
publican institutions than this doe
triuo. It Would be possible to sub
vert tho will ot tho poople in every
State in the union and at every elec
tion, if this were true. Under existing
circumstances this doctrine suits us
woll enough, but it should be put in
i,ts little bed as soon as possible after
the 4th of March.
There, was a mooting some days
go in Washington, of those in favor
of abolishing the office of President.
This, we supposo, was one of the
thousand and one means of settling
tho present controversy, wnicn lius
boon devisod by rabid politicians or po
litioal revolutionists. Considering the
uses to which Grant has brought that
oflioo and tho means chosen to eloct
Hayes, it is no wonder some pcoplo
would like to sco it abolished) but it
appears to us that it would bo as
wise to eleot an honest rresiient as
to abolish tho oflbe. An honest Pres
Idont elected by honest and honorable
means could not do us harm. Con
suls, Tribunes, Sonnies, Councils and
othor oonuivanoes have ended in
despotism, beyond that no Prosident
can go.
Wkarbnino. Grant is coming
down by degrees. In anothor column
will bo found bis opinion of certain
Southern elections, in which ho ex
presses serious doubts as to the cor
rectness ot the action of the return
ing board in Louisiana. Whilo
Grant's opinion, as a general rule,
should be taken as moaning very lit
tlo, this shows that hn does not intend
to use bis power lo enforeo the action
of that board.
It was a horriblo thing, last winter,
to soositive Radicals, to learn that in
vesications by llouso commitleos in
Washington, were conducted so that
oriminals could not be notified by tel
egraph to emigrate. But it is all
right now for a Senate Investigation
Committee to hold its sessions with
closod doors, so that the country may
not know too soon upon what kind of
evidence it rolies to count in Hayes and
Wheeler.
From the Standard: "Secretary
Chad wick says there is not a doubt
but that Tildon will bo inaugurated
on tbe 5th of March. It is generally
oonoedod in tho East that be was fair
ly elected and no one but politicians,
offio bolders and office seekers elaim
the election of Hayes.

There are many opinions telegraphed on
the compromise proposed by tbs Committee,
end from among these we clip the follow
ing: Tbe Times' Boston special asys Judge Hoar
sayS that the bill Will bear little legal scruti
ny, but it is good common sense and will
pa'si. Dana opposes It as entirely as oncon-
titutional and estaDiisuing a dangerous
precedent. Speaker Long, of the House, en
dorses the bill. Gov. Rich favors it. Dul
ler keeps quiet.' Most Democrats faror the
bill.
Tbe Tribune's Washington special ssys
Grant, oo tbe electoral bill, expressed him
self toiduy ss earnestly in lavor of Us pas
sags. He said be considered it a patriotic,
statesman-like and equitable proposition for
thrt adjustment of tbe difficulty, and said
that no one would welcome a peaceful solu
tion of the Presidential question more than
be. He said be bad noticed tbe opposition
to tbe bill among extreme partisans ou both
idesbut it did not begin to appear to him
to be of much weight or sufficiently organ
ized to secure its defeat. He thinks tbe bus
iness iotcrests of the country would give sup
port to the proposition as it would speedily
muke that support full from all sections of
the land that it would De luipossioie lor even
those who declare their hostility to the
schen.e to vote against it. He said if he
bad opportunity, he should sign it cheerfully
and heartily, speaking oi tne election in
ibe three disputed Staus, Grant said to a
gentleman to-day who called upon him, that
as to South Carolina aud Florida he didn't
believe any fuir-minded man could now prop
erly deny but that both of them went lor
Hayes; as lo Louisiana, nespoue wun mucn
less degree of certainty, in fact, be left upon
tbe mind of the visitor the impression (bat
he seriously doubted whether the action of
tbe returning board could be justified or
bother the vote of that state could oe
honestly given to Hayes.

The World1! Indianapolis special says ex
Governor Hendricks was interviewed to-day
as to his Judgment ol the constitutionality
and efficiency of the measure reported by
tbe joint Congressional committees oa tbe
electoral count. He said: First, 1 am
gratified that so lair a bill bas been reported
It may not satisfy those who demand success
in advance, but 1 think It will oe acoepuoie
to tbe country. Certainly the commissioner
mav make a tirnwr and rurhteous decision
nmlnr it. It will allow Such latitude of
investigation aud judgment as will compel
them to docide the right. If, in its present
shane. the bill will not allow the commision
to consider all matters ol evidence as fully
as the two houses of Congress could do if
constderiuz the questions directly, the nee
essary amendments can easily be mado ; but
its provisions appear ample in that rt-spect
The Commission may deliver a fuir decision.
It is clothed with powerssuffii)ieiit to enable
it to do so. Whether it does so or not will
depend upon ths character of the men who
compose it. lieinir asked to give bis opin
Ion upon the constitutionality of the bill
Hendricks said that Would require an elab
orate discussion too Ioiik for the present
occisioo. The matter Is one in whicb the
powersof Congress and the methods in Which
they should be executed are not definitely
prescribed. It may be Compared to the
admission of States into tbe Union. The
constitution confers power npou Congress to
admit new States, but does not prescribe
the method in which it is to be exercised.
Congress may act through a coordinate de
partment of the goverommit, as as recently
done in the admission ol a state or i rest
dentiul proclamation.
Ton do Dot regard Congress as abdicating
its Dower then T
Hendricks Not at all. The power of
Congress to count the vote and to decide
upon all questions that arise in the progress
of the count is exercised directly by ijself,
snd through the agency which it created
with final supervision and coutrol by agree
ment of both bouses.
