While Governor Grover is upheld by
every Democrat for his manly and
righteous action iu the Oregon elec
toral matter, many Republicans ad

These indignation meetings over His
Excellency’s course are bosh, gotten
up for effect by Federal officers whose
official heads aro vory shaky, and are
participated in by Republicans unac
quainted with the law and who allow
partisau feeling to overpower their
good sense. Judge Boise, of the Su
preme Court of this Slate, and a
staunch Republican, holds that the
Governor is legally right and his course
justifiable. Judge l’rutt, ouce a Re
publican candidate for Supreme Judge
of Cahforuu, and well known as an
ubie lawyer, scuds the following tele

We also learu that Judges Deady

The law is on tho Governor’s side

DWEBVKS WELL OF
HIN COUNrKY.
If, during the present eventful and
arduous struggle of right against
might, one man more than another
has deserved well of his country, that
man is Governor Grover. He was,
aud Is, the right man in the right place.
He had the courage to disregard the
howl of disappointed aud mulignaut
partisans, to obey the obligation of his
oath and do his duty. No wonder
that the Radicals both In and out of
Congress gmislr their teeth in impotent
rage because the Governor dared to do
right for right’s sake. His official
course is peculiarly distasteful to the
Radicals. First—Because it dashes
to tho ground all the hopes they en
tertained of placing an usurper In the
Presidential Chair. Next—The spec
tacle of a high official obeying the let
ter aud spirit of the law, subjects the
career of most Radical officials to a
most unfavorable comparison. With
a great majority of Radicals officers,
the object was not how to obey and
give the law effect, but how to defeat,
disregard aud defy it. Nothing makes
your thorough-braced Radical so in
sanely rabid as to talk about official
oaths, duty aud law, wbeu they stand
iu tho way of his own or his parly’s
aggrandizement. What they can do
in that line is well exemplified by
their recent exploits iu Florida, Louis
iana and South Carolina. Therefore,
says the Examiner, no one can l>e sur
prised that Hipple-Mitchcll, “Effigy”
Sargent, Morton, and tho rest of the
gang, are fairly beside themselves
with wrath. Fur them, it cannot be a
pleasant sensatiou to feol the van
tage ground of official position slipping
slowly, but surely, from beneath them;
and, what is worse for them, though
fortunate for all good citizens, it will
never for them return. For taking a
prominent part iu hastening and secur
ing that glorious consummation, Mr.
Grover will receive the thanks of all in
telligent and patriotic citizens; for in
time of doubt, difficulty and danger,
like another Horatius Cocles, be stood
by the bridge, turned back the tide of
plundering invaders, and saved the
country from another period of pur
gatory. For his great services in sav
ing the nation from the ineffable dis
grace of seeing a mercenary partisan
usurp the Presidency, a majority of
Gov. Grover’s fellow-citizens will cry
out with one accord, “Well done, thou
good and faithful servant.”

Tile ElTcci.
The electoral question in Oregon
gives the Democracy a large advan
tage, which their opponents are ¡min-
fully aware of. If it does not elect
Tilden direct, it turns the tables on the
Republicans and forces an enquiry be
yond the certificates issued from the
disputed Southern States. This much
it dues accomplish, and no wonder the
Republicans arc so fearfully exercised.
New York World on the Governor.
The New York World has the fol«
lo’wing on the action of our Governor:
“The seceding Oregon rebels have
no executive commission on the list to
transmit with their votes, and under
the circumstances the votes are void
without executive list«. The votes of
the two Republicans after their seces
sion has no electoral vitality, not half
so much as the Democrat, Aldrich from
Vermont Grover has acted on the
very theories of law which the World
announced in the Vermont case long
before there was any general newspa
per discussion of the question, and
long before any complication in Ore
gon was dreamed of. Our readers will
appreciate why at least we stand by
the action of Grover regardless of its
influence on the aspirations, either of
Tilden or of Hayes.”
Being Investigated.
Both Houses have appointed com
mittees to look into the lato elections
in Louisiana, South Carolina and Flor
ida, and startling revelations have al
ready been made. More Republican
skullduggery is beiug brought to light,
and a very strong case will be present
ed to Congress against the cuuuting of
the votes of those Statos fur Hayes.
The telegraph denotes that the work
of the House Committees is being im
peded in every manner possible by the
scalawag returning boards and inter
ested partisans. But we have every
faith in the quotation that “truth
crushed to earth will rise again.”
GENERAL NOTEN
INDIANA DEMO< RACY.
Tho Democratic State Central Com
mittee met at Indianapolis on the 13tb,
pursuant to request of the Democratic
Electors, to consider the political situ
ation. Quite a number of prominent
politicians, including Hendricks and
State officers, wore present, besides
representatives from all the Congres
sional districts. Ex-Congressman Ju
lian, of the Louisiana visiting com
mittee, gave his opinion that the
Louisiana election was as quiet and
peaceable as Jn Indiana, and that Til
den carried the State overwhelmingly.
He hoped the Democracy would have
the pluck to stand up for their rights
and meet the crisis. He was satisfied
we shall have no war. Reports from
all the Congressional Districts wore
received, which indicated the fooling
throughout Indiana to
a general
confidence that Tilden and Hendricks
were elected and a demand that they
be accordingly inaugurated. A reso
lution was then adopted calling a con
vention of the people, regardless of
past political opinions, at each county
seat, on December 23d, to select aud
instruct delegates to assemble in State
convention at Indianapolis, January^
8th, to consider public affairs and lake
such action as will secure the full ex
ecution of tho constitution and luws,
a committee being appointed to pre
pare the address to the people. The
firm and decided action of tho Indiana
Democracy, coincided iu as it is by the
Democracy of tho Union, is giving the
Republican managers no little alarm,
and Senator Morton has been sent
to Indianapolis to make a speech.
Miiuauioued to Washington.
The United Statos Senate has begun
the investigation of the Watts-Cronin
case of Oregon, the committoe to in
vestigate consisting of Morton and Lo
gan, Republicans, and Kernan, Dem
ocrat. Telegrams have beon received
by various prominent citizens of Ore
gon, sent by the Sergeant-at-Arms of
the U. 8. Senate, summoning them to
go to Washington forthwith and tes
tify before the committeo. Among
those summoned aro Gov. Grover and
Secretary of Slate Chadwick, O. N.
Denny, Ben. Simpson, John Parker, J.
N. T. Miller and the three Republican
Elector«. We learn, howevor, says the
Democrat, that later dispatches have
been received by Messrs. Parker and
Miller revoking their subpmuas and in
forming them that their tostimouy
will not be needed! Wo would liko to
know why it wou’t be needed as woll
as that of Walts, Odell and Cartwright.
They were parties to the same trans
action, aud as the Republicans are at
tempting to throw all tho blame on
those two gentlemen and Mr. Cronin
aud Gov. Grover and pther Democrats,
it is only just that they should have a
hearing before that Committee and a
right to vindicate themselves and show
where the blame really rests.
■r. Cronin Mereuaded.
A dispatch from Elko, (Nev.) under
date of the 15th, saya :
Mr. Cronin, elector, passed through
here this evening, en route to Wash
ington. Democrats of this place made
a display of fire work« and serenaded
him. After finishing his supper he
was Introduced by District-Attorney
Street, who made a remark that he
was the elector who put 8. J. Tilden
in tho Presidential chair. Cronin then
made a speech in which be thanked
the people for this token of approvalj
«aid they were acting io unison with
the people of California and Oregon,
in showing their appreciation of Gov.
Grover’s action; that he (Grover) had
acted uprightly and cons neniiou«ly in
the matter; that Watts waa ineligible,
consequently he, (Cronin) having the
largest number of votes on the Demo
cratic aide, was the only proper person
to fill the vacancy; also that when
the contest was made over Watts’ elec
tion, there was not a Republican who
offered one word in behalf of Watts’
eligibility, merely keeping their seats
and making no remarks. He said he
bad acted conscientiously in the mat
ter, aud were the same thing to happen
to-morrow, he would act as he had
doue. Democrats are very enthusi
astic.
