OREGON SEHTINEL. JACKSONVILLE Saturday, Decemdbo 15, 1883. The story is told of Senator "Zeb Vanc, of North Carolina, that soon alter his second marriage he remarked " to hit bride: "My dear, Ftn a stub tern fellow, and yon may anticipate trouble. Now, in the beginning, while I am aubmiwive, I want to giva yon one piece of advice. If you fol low it we'll get-on mighty well. It is this: Make me dc just as I darned please." Postmaster-General Gresham recora snends in his report the passage of an act providing that every newspaper which contains an advertisement of a lottery, or any agency thereof, shall be excluded frem the mails, and render ing the person who deposit it for send ing by mail liable to the penalties which, under the existine laws, ha in curs for so depositing a letter or circu lar concerning lotteries. The republicans of New "York are snaking earnest preparations for a vig orous campaign next year. The party -organization, especially in the metrop olis, is to be renovated and strength ened. All divisions of the grand re publican army are full of fight and en thusiasm, and the prospects are very bright for paintiDg the empire btate democracy a beautiful black and blue in the presidential battle. A correspondent of the New York "Time" has made careful investigation of the trouble between tho whites and Hacks on the eve of the late election in Virginia, and says "that whether tho shoeting was premeditated, or in spired by the presence of a somewhat larger number of negros than usual in an exciting election period, is left in some doubt, but it is indisputable that tho shooting did not take place without any adequate provocation, that ' the whites did the shooting, and that tho negroes were the ones shot at." The comet which was first discovered some months ago is fast approaching the earth, and astronomers say that on the 25th of January, it will only be about 60,000,000 miles from the earth. It has been decided beyond a doubt that it is the same comet that appeared in 1812, and which an astronomer then predicted would appear again in 71 yearn pretty close calculation. It is encouraging to learn that it will be I visible in the early evening, and many editors who failed to see the comet of 1882 will have an opportunity to take a squint at it now. The National Republican Commit tee has elected Senator Sabin chair man, and fixed June 3 as the date for holding the convention. Sabin, on taking the chair, said: "While deeply sensible of the distinguished courtesy you have conferred, I an doubtless as much surprised as the country at large will be at ,the announcement of your choice. But, being pressed by all parties, and in the interest of peace and harmony, I cheerfully accept the position. I trust, however, the work of this committee will be characterized with the same 'unanimity with which I have been elected, and that the next election a Republican President will he chosen with the same unanimous vote of the country." Chicago was selected as the place for holding the convention. The recent election of Mr. Robin son w Governor of Massachusetts would under ordinary circumstances have made vacancy in the present delegation from that State in Congress, as Mr. Robinson is a member of the Bay State delegation. The presence of General Butler in the seat of power, whose special prerogative it would be to appoint Mr. Robinson's successor, probably accounts for bis delay in re signing his position as Congressman. If a vacancy exists prior to the first Monday in January it would be Gov ernor Butler's duty to fill it by the appointment of a representative to serve until the next regular election. By holding the position until the day of his inauguration aa Governor, Mr. Robinson will not only prevent Butler from filling the vacancy, but will se cure to himself the privilege of naming his own successor. There is no ob jection to such a course on the part of Mr. Robinson and under ordinary cir cumstances the matter would not at tract especial attention. The bitter ness of feeling between BntW and the Republican part of Massachusetts would prevent their leaving a loop hole for any favors to Butler, even though the addition of one more- Democrat to the already large majority that party now basin Congress woulcLnotmaterialy affects results, but nnder the present existing facts the privilego of appoint iug a Congressman for an unexpired term could not consistently be given to Governor Butler. Tbe Ontlook for XSSI. The recent elections have cleared the sky sufficiently to warrant a few observations for 1881. The whole number of electoral Totes is 401, of which a majority is 201. The aggre gate electoral votes of the sixteen Southern states is 153. This is 48 short of the needed 201. The Republicans are sure of 177 electoral votes leaving the following states to be chased as doubtful: New York 36 California 8 Indiana 15 Nevada 3 New Jersey 9 Total 71 By the above it will be seen that the Republicans only need 24 electoral votes to elect their candidate, which can bo .accomplished by the vote of In diana and New Jersey or the vote of New York alone, while the Democrats must get New York and some of -the other states classed as doubtful before they can reach the much-coveted prize. Taken altogether the situation looks more than encouraging to the Repub Iicans and the Democrats will have to wait four years more. So mote it be. It is understood that Gov. Moody will appoint L. R. Webster asciicuit judge, vice Hon. H. K. Hauna, re signed. B. J?.DowelI(lheseinorKepub licau lawyer in the district and en titled to the position) would no doubt like to don the judicial trroire: but un fortunately for hint, he is not in accoid with the managers of the Itepublican machine here, and they lost no time in nipping his boom in the bud. Mr. Webster, although but recently ad mitted to the bar, ii possessed of a good lpgal mind, and being industrious, and ambition, will probably make a satisfactory judge. His appoint ment lasts until next July. "Times. The "Times" this wtek has an arti cle to the effect that L. R. Webster would be appointed circuit Judge of this district and that B. F. Dowoll desired the honor, but the Republicans opposed him. Now Governor Moody will no doubt appoint L. R. Webster, but it is utterly false that B. P. Dow ell desired the appointment. It is an honor no doubt ho would like to enjoy; but his practice is upwards of three thousand dollars a year and he cannot afford to accept the Judgeship which is only worth two thousand dollars a year, and he told his friends from the beginning, who desired him to tatce the position, he could not afford to ac cept it. If he had desired the "position wo have no doubt he could have ob tained a large majority of the Repub licans of this circuit. Upon the question of polygamy the president is employed in the interest of anti-polygamy measures. He saj s: I am convinced, however, that polyga my has become strongly intrenched in the territory of Utah, and that it is profitless to attack it with any but the stoutest weapons which constitutional legislation can make. I favor, there fore, the repeal of the act upon which the existing government depends, and the resumption by the national legis lature of the entire political control of the territory, and the establishment of a commission, with such power and du ties as should be delegated to it by law.
