Of course the trivial objection to Sla ter, the Republican elector from Rhode Island vr&s ridden over with scarcely a pause by the House and Senate. We are glad to note the honorable course pursued by many Democrats in stand ing nobly by their agreement and the utter detestation they manifest at the little handful of hot-heads who seek to filibuster, and by trickery too shallow for a Tombs lawyer, def rand Hayes of his justly wou fruits. Honth Carolina has gone to the Commission, but as even Wade Hampton never claimed that State for Tilden, the votes of Secession's cradle may safely be put down for the Republican candidate for the. Presiden cy. The next "striking point" will be Vermont, but as the '-'Cronin" of that State has not even had a Governor's certificate to back him, little apprehen 8ion is felt by Republicans. Growing lieautifuHy Loss. Retrenchment, like chickens and curses, i3 coming home to roost. The Democrats raised an Ebenezer at the close of the last session of Congress in view of the fact that the expenses of the Government had been reduced bv their efforts about SG0,r00,000 and every party choir in the country gather ed round, and began the Presidential campaign with a full chorus Te Deum that their eyes had been permitted to see the beginning of an economical reform. It must, therefore, have been somewhat of a vexation to the righteous epirit of Mr. Sam Randall to bo obliged to confess that the reduction after all was but 30,000,000. Rut how he must have groaued in spirit when a Tlepublican member, Foster wo think, showed that the actual reduction was but 23,000,000, from which at the first bite must be taken 0,000,000, which we believe has been appropriated by a deficiency bill. It is also intimated that the residue of 817,000,000 is to be still further reduced by other deficiency bills, and the Democratic face would lengthen at the prospect were it not for the breadth and exceeding hardness of the Democratic che k. Hayes and the Contesting Gov ernors. We hope none of our Democratic friends are so foolishly sanguine as to lay the flattering n.etion to their souls that Hayes will recognize the Hampton and Nicholls governments. We do not say whether or not the Democratic Governors are entiled in justice to Recognition, but maintain that the con- summation nopoa lor iy Democrats is as impossible as the meeting of the poles. . Should Hayes atttcmj.t to make such a faux pas there arc v. ise heads near enough to instruct hiia that it would be suicide, nend ricks himself expresses our opinion of the impossi bilitv of such action on the part of Hayea, in the following words: "The statement that Hayes will re cognize the Nieholls government in Louisiana is absurd. He could not do so without stultifying the methods to which he will owe his place. To recog nize Nicholls would bo to say that Packard is not elected by the votes in Louisiana, and yet he himself, Hayes, was." County Court House. The Clackamas county croakers, who are continually speaking of hard times and who invariably predict worse in the future when the subject of a new court house is broached, can learn something, perhaps, from the following little item clipped from the Union County Sentinel: Whoa the question of building a fine brick court house for Union county was being discussed, we kuow a number of men, long headed men, wise men, in fact, (in their own opinion) "nail-driving" smart men, who boldly asserted that county warrants would "depreciate in value to forty or fifty cents on the dollar. Union connty lias a fine brick court house almost completed; one that will answer tho demands for the next half century, the finest court house east of the Cascades; one of which the citizens of Union county may well feel proud. County orders aro selling at ninety cents, coin, and Union county is in better financial circumstance than .any county in Eastern Oregon. Mr. Randall and Mr. Cox will not ceaso harping on the reduction in ex penditures which have been effected by their patriotism, but we should liko to have some explanat;on made to show us where the saving comes iu, when mil lions of dollars have been expended in uncompleted public buildings which are allowed to lie idle for the want of an appropriation. Reducing the expenses by impairing the efficiency of the Gov ernment is easy enough, but wo should be willing to sacrifice some of tho re duction in order to secure a little more efficiency. Hill of the high-priced journal, made a fierce charge upon us a couple of weeks since and with a grand flouris of trumpets announced in a quotation from Macbeth that it was to be war to the knife. Last week we "let loose the dogs of war" and immediately the val iant Lair hunted his hole and pulled it in after him, calling names and making metaphorical faces at a third and inno cent party. "Our voiee is still for war." Cock-a-doodle-doo! Week before last a man named Cro nin attempted to rob a stage coach in California. Take them all through they are what our merchants might cad a "job lot." ... Nearer Resumption. It has been some four years since the decline in the gold premium stimulated a well meaning, but misguided, Secre tary of the Treasury to attempt re sumption in silver, in lots not to ex ceed five dollars. Since then, as before our opinion has been that the resources of the Government from taxation were insufficient to enable us to resume specie payment and that aa issue of bonds for the purchase of gold and the redemption of greenbacks was the in dispensable condition to resumption. President Grant now comes to the re lief of the country with precisely this scheme. Our gratification to find offi cial coincidence with our humble opinions is enhanced by the reflection that the idle clamor against the bonds and in favor of greenbacks has almost wholly died away, its echoes lingering yet only in the brains of a few dement ed and visionary statesman of a very obsolete pattern. Few who have watched the course of the financial question can forget how strong the in flation cause was at one time, and how persistent it has been at all times. As soon as the defeat of Liberalism wa3 an accomplished fact, the uneasy spirits of politics, who are now metamorphosed into Reformers, took up the greenback question with unshaken confidence, and actually succeeded in conveying the impression of a strength they have never been able to use. Eat their cause never had any real power, they have dispersed, or rather abandoned the field of finance to join the Tilden crowd, and to-day the coast is clear and the path unobstructed for tho real and final solution suggested by the Presi dent in his message. We regret to hear that Congress is too busy to attend to the affairs of the country, and that the men whom we send to make our laws are so ignorant of the merits of a question which has been before the public for ten years, that they will not bo able to form an opinion on tho message during a whole month. This, however, is some thing which is the act of Providence, and offers cause for no repining. But what we regret more deeply to notice is tho news that the worst enemies of specie payment are trying to persuade themselves that if they let things alone and take no risks, specie payment will come of itself. If these gentlemen are sincere they cannot object to making a trifling effort iu the'same direction. If specie payment is inevitable such an effort can notsprevcnt it, and if specie payment needs assistance such an effort would be of the highest value to the country. If resumption is likely to come from natural causes and without the need of legislation, it must be in ac cordance with a sound finance and so is entitled to support, and support could not be given better than in the mauner advocated by tho President. Letter from Portland. Portland, Feb. 2G, 1877. Editor Extektkise: Feeling that perhaps you are in need of a few words of sympathy and consolation from your friends, I offer you my few words of comfort. I see that you are still unable to convince that honorable and distin guished gentleman (?) , the editor of the Oregonian, that you are owner and editor of the Enterprise. You are in a worse predicament than that celebrat ed boy who paid too much for his whis tle, inasmuch as you are not allowed to blow your whistle after you hve paid for it. Perhaps, if the honor was worth the money, a small retaining fee. say of a few thousand dollars, might be an effectual eye-opener. Such things have happened in this sinful world, you know. But pluck up courage, my dear fellow; doubtless, by the time you ar rive at the mature age of either of the honorble gentlemen (the one who will not permit you to own a newspaper and the one wtio is obliged to own it against his wishes) you may be cons dered worthy of the honor, but I fear you will have to cultivate a good crop of wrinkles, a few gray hairs, a careworn appearance, or even, perhaps, a little bald spot on the top of your head might do tho work for you. 1 am sincerely sorry for the Hon. W. C. Johnson, as it is not every man that is afflicted with so terrible a misfortune as owning a newspaper. But console yourself, Mr. Editor, by thinking that Oregon Hills are not unchangeable, as Democratic friends can testify, and Hills are much less formidable obstacles to overcome than mountains might be. If at any timo you become faint hearted, or your purse grows lean, just look forward four years, to the next Presidential election, when, perhaps, others beside the "principal newspaper of Oregon" will receive a back still'ener of a few thousand dollars, particularlv as that very unwilling member of your firm is a legal gentleman. You are aware I presume, that the latest discovery in medical science is a plaster composed of a mixture of gold and silver for strengthening weak backs, ami bright ening obtrnse intellects; its effect on the undersjanding is almost magical, as it has been known to change a Hill Dei Fremiti. C. D. J "Professional honor" is good; we ad mire it. It is charming; the editor of the "leading paper" has exhibited him self as one of its great champions. So likewise did Judas Iscariot. David Dudley Field's name was stricken from the roll of the New York Lar Association a couple of years ao for conduct unbecoming a gentlemSn and a lawyer. Badly irtruped, the stillhunter that would a wooing go, who lit oa "emi nent .counsel with a hand organ. Tho Count. The two" houses of Congress met in joint convention on Saturday at noon, and the decision of tlie electoral com mission touching the votes of OregoD, was read. The grounds of the decision which is in favor of the Hayes electors, i3 that said electors appear to have been lawfully appointed, and they voted as such at the time and in the manner pro vided by tho constitution of the United States and the law; and the commission are further of opinion that by the laws of Oregon the duty of tho canvass of all the votes given at the election of Presi dent and Vice President was imposed upon the Secretary of State, and that the Secretary of State did canvass these returns, and ascertained that J. C. Cart wright, W. H. Odell and J. W. Watts received a majority of all the votes for electors, and had the highest number of votes for that office; and by the express ed language of the statute those persons are deemed elected. That in obedience to his duty the Secretary of State made a canvass and tabulated statement of the votes showing this result, which, according to law, he placed on file in his office on the 4th of December, 1S76. All this appears by the official certifi cates, under seal of the Secretary of State, and was signed and delivered by him to the electors, and forwarded by them to the President of the Senate, with other States. That refusal of the Governor of Oregon to sign the certifi cate of election of persons so elected doe3 not have the effect of defeating their appointment for such electors. That tho act of the Governor of Oregon in giving to E. A. Cronin a certificate of election, though he received one thousand votes less than J. W. Watts, on the ground tho latter was ineligible, was without authority of law and there fore void. That although evidence shows that Watts was postmaster at tho time of his election, that fact is render ed immaterial by his resignation both as postmaster and elector, and his sub sequent appointment to fill the vacancy in the electoral college; that in conse quence of the foregoing, and upon grouuds before stated, the paper pur porting to be the certiScato of tho elec tDral vote of Oregon, signed by E. A. Cronin, J. X. T. Miller and Jno Parker, is not the certificate of the votes pro vided for by the Constitution of the United States, and ought not to be counted as such. The members of the Commission agreeing to and approving of the decision are S. F. Miller, Jos. P. Bradley, W. Strong, G. F. Edmunds. O. P. Morton, F. T. Frelinghnysan, J. A. Garfield and G. F. Hoar. The presiding ofiicer asked whetker there were any objections to the decis ion. Senator Kelly objected to this de cision on the following gro-.uuls: First, that Watts was not elected; second, that he was net appoiuted; ttiird, that he was disqualified to receive an appoint ment as Pr sidential elector, or to sit as such, as he held an office of trust and profit nnder the United States; fourth, that Cronin was elected Presidential elector for Oregon, and in accordance with law cast the legal vote as such elector, and that such vote shouhi be counted. The objection was signed by Senators Kelly, Wyte, Cooper, Maxey, Norwood and Hereford, and Represen tatives Lane, Poppleton, Jencks, Vance, Throckmorton, Wike, Wiggintou and Luttrell. The presiding ofiicer asked whether there were any further objections to the decision, and there being none, he an nounced the Senate would withdraw to its chamber. After considerable discussion, the Senato adopted tho decision of the Commission, and tho House rejected it. When the Senate returned, objection was made to the electoral vote of Mor rill, of Pennsylvania. The objection was overruled as invalid, and a recess was taken until Monday. Pennsylvania has been counted by the two houses in joint convention for Hayes and Wheeler, and Rhode Island, coming as next in the list, was objected to. There teemed to be a certaia amount of speculation among Democrats as to whether Judge Bradley would give a decision against his party, but no such suggestion was ever made with regard to Judge Clifford or Judge Field. It seems to have been taken for granted that these "two eminent and nnpartisan ornaments of tho judicial bench would give an ojjinion in favor of their party every time, and tho event has confirmed their impressions. W. Lair Hill, editor of the "only paper," when proved to have tendered his services to the Joe Thomas party, assumes tho role of high-toned profes sional honor, and still denies the fact, because forsooth, "he never" (he says), "tendered his services in any case." But poor Hill has sadly degenerated, since his professional tone and honor could not prevent him from being bought with $3,000 from Tilden's 'barV and we think, as the sequel has proved, that Tilden paid very dearly for the Oregonlan whistle. In the language of the day, Demo crats, "the jig is up;" or as a certain Portland editor would term it, jacta est aha. Hayes and Wheeler will be peaceably inaugurated on the 5th of March, and if yon wish to elect your man four years hence, commence now to lay your snares, for in the time of peace there i3 nothing like preparing for war. The talk of the Democrats that the eight RepubUcans of the electoral com mission voted a3 partisans, reminds us forcibly of the solitary juror who spoke of the obstinacy of the other eleven. What it costs to go through an elec toral college, $8,000. Up-Hill business, Sammy says. Watts on the mind; heavy reading for Democrats. COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY CF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA. The Blue-Glass Cure. General Pleasauton is one of those well-to-do fossils who exist in Phila delphia and who would never be heard of beyond his own pale, except by some peculiar windfall or blind-lack discov ery. Although we cannot make the General exactly the Christopher Colum bus of our pubject-head, he is still a kind of Amerigo Vespucci. Others be fore the corpulent Philadelphian found the curative properties of blue glass, but he, we understand, is the first to write a book on the subject, and attract general attention all over the world. Newspaper wits and paragraphists fling a good deaPof fun at the old Quaker, but he has indisputable evidences of the good effect of the azure glass cure, and will not be laughed down. As to the exact effect of blue light, the orinions of scientific men differ.and it is too early now to discuss the sub ject from a scientific point of view. It is certain that many physicians of New York City and elsewhere are now giving their attention to the subject, and that the demand for blue glass is increaoing every day. One of the Chicago hospit als, we are informed, has one of its wards fitted np with blue window panes; and a shipment of one hundred cases was lately made in one day from New York to that city, where the physicians have been studying the effect of blue light for some time past. The matter is under discussion also in New York hospitals. As we understand it, sunlight jjasses dereetly through colorless glass, having no effect whatever upon it, but blue glass catches and retaius heat, and a room lighted by blue panes is said to be warmer than one with windows of ordinary glass. General Pleasanton thinks the bluo light imparts curative qualities to the atmosphere, therefore; and that it acts upon the health of the patient in that way, as well as directly upon the nerves. Professor Butler, who has several aquaria in New York, writes to one of the japers of that city that his fish have been noticeably livelier since ho has encased them in blue glass. In hot houses its effect is .very marked; the part of General Pleasantou's grapery under bine glass far outstripping in productiveness the vines left under the plain white panes. In regard to the effect upon the human system we are told that in diseases of the eye it is very useful, which appears to be natur al. It is also used for nervous diseases, including nemalgia and nervous head ache. General Pleasanton tells, in a letter to a Chicago paper, how he cured himself by a sun bath ia a blue lighted room from the effects cf a severe fall from his carriage, and how at the same time he converted his physician so that lie now acknowledges the merits of blue glass. Taking a serio-comic view cf the question, why would it Dot be t good idoa for persona afflicted witl headache.3 and nervous cornvlaints to carry a piece of glass with them large enough to cover the effected part, and wheu in pain to simply (if the sun be shining) lay on the panacea ? A man traveling from here to Portland could put his blue 'glass against the car win dow and be cured of his headache in a "jiffy." It is not said whether it pro vides or strengthens tho brain, so we do not as yet recommend it to our Dem ocratic confreres. Ptddlers in the principal eastern cities are said to doing an immense business just now in this g ass, and we daro say the excitement will run so high that bald-headed men will imagine they cau make their hair grow by simply insert ing a piece of it in their hats. In case any of our people should like to experi ment on this subject, which is cow ex citing so many people, wo herewith give a "boiled down" interview held by a New York newspaper reporter with General Pleasanton: Any one suffering from local disease is simply to obtain window'panes of dark Mazarine blue, French the best; place it in front of the ordinary window glass, so that the light will pass through the blue immediately upon coming from the ordinary glass, the diseased part to bo exposed to the blue rays. The treatment is particularly efficacious in all diseases of the spine Any one using this cure will not be in ueotea to tue uencral in a pecuniary sense, he only asking that those attempt ing this method will give him a full account of the experiment whether successful or otherwise. The N. Y. Times of the 24th nit. says: It is hoped after the vote on the Oregon case we shall hear no more about the partisanship of the Republican mem bers of the electoral commission. In this decision the partisanship is all on the Democratic side, and the law and facts with the Republicans. That the three electoral votes of Oregon were legally cast for Hayes and justice, a "wayfaring man, though a fool," can appreciate; and it may 6afely be left with the people to judge of the impar tiality of the seven Democrats who in sisted only two of these votes should be so counted. It was a cheap display oi virtue to refuse to recognize the vote of Cronin. It was a very discreditable display of partisanship to hold' the Grover conspiracy had succoeded in cheating the State out of one electoral vote, and counting out of its choice for President. The modest Miss (?) Emma Abbott will not finger a piano in public if it stands bare legged. Mr. Moody, says the Boston journal ists, bears a remarkable resemblance to President Grant. A case of petty Laircenj $3,000. Traced to its Lair 3,000. Telegraphic News. Eastern. Washington, Feb. 23. At 3 o'clock the commission took a recess of half an hour to allow time for Senator Thur man to be sent for prior to taking a vote upon the question whether the Repub lican votes of Oregcn should be count ed. All the members of the commission stato the decision is already virtually decided, as eight of the members, in cluding Bradley, have announced their opinion in favcr of counting the three Republican votes. The Electoral Commission proceeded to the residence of Senator Thurmau, who was .very ill, and there adopted by strict vote of eight against seven a reso lution offered by Senator Morton, de claring that the votes of W. H. Odell, John C. Cartwright, and John W. Watts, the Hayes electors for Oregon, should be counted. The commission previously voted on the question of the admissibility of Cronin's vote, and re jected it unanimously. New York, Feb. 24. The Herald's Indianapolis correspondent interviewed Hendricks to-day. The latter give up the election as a defeat. He' continued, very decidedly: "The Commission, hav ing gone according to law, the result will be the election of Hayes. I do not think they acted according to the spirit of the law. Their decision will not be satisfactory to the country, and the longer this people think upon it the more they will bo condemned. But for the Commission bill the Senate would have elected Hayes and the House Til den. Both would have been inaugurat ed. Hayes would have had the support of an army of office-holders, and other resources of tho government, leaving Tilden nothing to fight with, had a fight been deemed advisable. The statement that Hayes will recognize the Nicholls government in Louisiana is absurd. He could not do so without stultifying the methods to which he will owe his place. To recognize Nicholls would be to say that Packard was not elected by the votes in Louisiana, and yet that he him self, Hayes, was." The Times' Columbus special says: The people of Fremont, Ohio, regard less of party, will give Hayes a grand send-off for Washington next week. Postmasters appointed A. J. Lang worthy, Aumsville, Marion county, Or.; Jas. Laird, Sitkum, Coos county, Or.; J. B. Morris. Snmmerville, Union Co., Or.; W. L. R. Monroe, Whittle's Ferry, Lake Co., Or.; Win.

Tho World's Washington special Hayes, perhaps, will office Sunday noon tive mansion, in the and the cabinet and says: It is said take the oath of next in the execu presence of Grant the Chief Justice who will administer it. It is net Ins present intention to arrive here until the count is completed, but if it delays until Friday he will leave Columbus on that day for Washington and become the guest of Sherman until he takes possession of the executive mansion. The Herald's Washington special says: The filibustered have made up their minds to do the worst they can. They have been visited and argued with to day by tho moderate and prominent Democrats. They say they will have their way and will obstruct and delay the count of the eight States which re main as much as they can. If the fili bustered carry out their purpose, the result will be the whole country will be kept in a state of suspense and anxiety, and business will be deraDged for no reason whatever. Tilden has not even a ghost of a claim to a single State yet to be counted, tue JJemocratie commit tee having declared that South Carolina went for Hayes on the face of the re turns. Pacific Coast. San Francisco, Feb. 27. The Call this morning publishes a detailed ac count of the circumstances connected with the recent burning of the court house at Salinas, at which it appears that a defalcation of 15,000 to 2U,000 has been discovered in the accounts o the tax collector, and that the deputy collector, m. ii. Kumsey, is supposed to have gambled off most of it, losing a portion of the amount with faro dealers, but to a great extent in poker games Willi a number of prominent citizens, including several connty officials. It is also intimated that a close ring exists, wuicn uas been plundering the counts' for years, and detective officers from Sail Francisco have been workincr up the ease, and stato that the affair is the worst that has ever came under their notice, even the courts seeming to con siderable extent to be disposed to afford the ring every opportunity to make out a good case. Popular indignation is very high and the citizens of the better class avow a determination to sift the affair to the bottom. There is a hone that Rnuisey may be induced to turn states evidence. Tho ring has money aud a lot of desperadoes in its interest. who can be hired to commit perjury or acts of violence in defense of their em- ployers. Profits of a Paper Currency. The Government is likely to make a large profit by the loss and destruction of fractional currency. During the last two months, nearly 2,000.000 of this paper currency has been withdrawn from circulation and silver coin substi tuted. The withdrawals have been en tirely confined to the last three issues, there having been scarcely a dollar sent in from the first and second issues, al though the government report shows 7,400,000 of these issues still outstand ing. It i3 more than likely that the greater portion of this amount has been worn out or destroyed. It is not the kind of money that people would be likely to hoard, and if it had been in the bands of .bankers or brokers it un doubtedly would have been presented for exchange. In this country of a metallic currency, people can hardly comprehend the amount of hard usage that the fractional paper currency re ceives, it is crumpiea into vest pock ets, allowed to become wet, is handled roughly, torn and defaced to an almost incredible extent. Seven millions of dollars seems a large amount to waste in this manner, but we have no doubt it has been done. Nobody feels the poorer for it, and it goes some distance toward paying the public debt. Eminent counsel with an oreran at their baoks are worth S3.000 to thos who have "bar'ls" of money at their command. i Territorial News. Herring fisheries are attracting atten tion on the Sound.
