TIIK ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
The electoral vote cast In the several
'states nn Wednesday font up i!03 for Samuel
Ji Tildcn. The electors of Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky,
-Missouri, Tennessee, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Arkansas, Loulslani and Texas,anil
one elector of each of the states of Vermont
nnd Oregon, casting 203 votes, voted for
Bamuel J. Tilden.
In both Vermont and Oregon, one Ho
publican elector was ineligible by reason oi
holding the office of postmaster. Tho Con
stitution of tho United States expressly de
clares that no person holding nn office of
frust or profit under the United States shall
be appointed an elector. There seems to be
a difference of Opinion ns to whether a va
cancy exists undersuch circuimtanccs.whlcli
can be fdlcd. Gov. Grovor of Oregon, holds
that there is no vacancy and gives the
grounds of his action in refusing the certifi
cate of election to the Republican post-master
and giving it to the Democratic elector
htTing the klghcst number of votes. After
reciting tho facts of the case he say :
It was ruled, in the case, that where the
objection tu an applicant's right to receive a
certificate rests upou the ground that a con
stitutional prohibition is interposed, tlie Gov
ernor, acting under oath to support the con
stitution bound to entertain and determine
tho question ; not only that, but is to deter
mine iu sucli a way as to enforce- tho con
stitutional mandate to tho extent of his exe
cutive power. It was a'so held that the
law and the fact being well known, the votes
cast for tho ineligible, candidate cannot
be to n'.ed for any other purpose
and tho eligible candidate having
the next highest number of votes
was duly elected. This ruling win b.ned
upon standard authorities, such us dulling
and Grant ; the decisions of many courts,
like the Supreme Court and the Court ol
Appeals of New York; the latter uniform
practice in the United States Home of Rep
resentatives, and the great weight of Kng
Unh authorities, both parliamentary and
judicial.
The law of Oregon providing for filling va
cancies inltbo Electoral Colleges recognizes a
vacancy only in cases where there has been
an incumbent and such incumbent has died,
refused to nct,neglected to attend or is other
wise absent. In this cue there was no in
cumbent, unless tho next highest candidate
should take the position, and there was no
vacancy which could be filled by tho other
members of the Electoral College. Tho
D'ext highest candidate eligible under the
constitution of the United States was there
fore, certified ta be duly elected.
This action on tho part of Governor G rov
er, places the Republicans in an absurd po
sition. They and their organs have been
contending that Congress has no right to
throw out the votes of States where certifi
cates of election have been given by tho
proper authority. If this rule is observed
then the one Democratic elector from Ore
gon having the Goverxor's certificate is a
legal elector and his vote elects Tilden. If,
on the contrary,the Republicans recede from
their own rule and throw out the Oregon
elector, the door is open and the votes of
Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida will
go out too and Tilden will be elected. What
is goo.! law for the Southern States
mentioned ought to be goo law for
Oregon. It's a bad lookout for the
Republicans and the beauty of the sit
uation lies In the fact that the Republicans
have gotten themselves into it. The organ9,
however, with unblushing effrontery are
now engaged in a series of highly moral pro
testations against fraud and chicanery. If
there is anything on earth that can make
tie average Republican organ grinder
shamed of hinitelf it hasn't been discov
ered. ORAM'S STUMP SPKKCII.
The P resident, on Sunday, had a long con
venation with a representative of tho Associ
ated Press in which he aiied his views of po
litical affairs at much leugth. Grant's opin
ions aro thoM! of tho carpet-baggers and he
talks tho usual stuff about Hayes having car
ried all the loyal ttates but four, while Tilden
carried all but three of tliote lately in rebel
lion. The three ho thinks Tilden didn't curry
aro Florida, South Caiolina and Louisiana
all of which he did cany. Wretched twaddle
of course but it ia the best that can lie ex
pected from meli a 'ourcc. The President
advised the Democrats not to impeach him
"for it might bring out evidence which they
would not liko to tec spicnd upon the rec
ords.' p.Tliis little threat to the Houso will not
Litimidato tlicin niucli ae fancy. Hu states
that ho never intended General Ruger to place
troops in tho fclato House in South Carolina,
but that Ruger so understood the ouler.
Ihoso may believe this who will. We don't
believe u woid of it. Ruger got his oiders
straight enough and acted on them,
Grant said that thcio were six or eight
hundred troops in Wahingtoii, and if there
should be'ahy necessity for moro ho would ol
der them theie. "We should have peace if
wo had to light for it.' He made allusion to
letter received by him threatening a.s.-a.ssiua-
tion. Altogether tho conversation was a very
Wily and partisan one,and;utterly unworthy of
a man holding the high office of Chief Mag'
istrato of tho Nation. His recent Message
and this haranguu are about on n par.
United States Senator F. J. Robertson, of
South Carolina has refused to become a can
didate for re-election before the general as
sembly composed of the Senate and illegal
Republican House. Mr. Robertson, who is
a Repiibllcan, writes a vigorous and manly
letter On the subject iu which he says that us
"Rhus been decided by our court of last re
sort that the body claiming to participate In
that election as the houso of representatives
is not a constitutional and a legal body, nnd
that it can perform no act that can bo re
cognized by the courts ' ho is "constrained
to withhold his name as a candidate before
it," Here's another nut for the Republicans
to crack.
The Florida Reluming Hoard havo finished
tliir llttlo Job of counting iu tho Republican
Stafo officers by majorities ranging ti mi -158
to 301. Two Republican Convressui 'ii were
also counted iu, and will doubtless tuku their
teats in LongrcFH alter they get them.
The Hoard labor under tho slight difficulty of
Leiug in' contempt of Court, Judgo While
of the U. H. Ciicuit Court having issued an
order restraining them, but that they will
havo to nettlo themselves. Perhaps they
will.
Nobody hears It called "the solid South'
now. Returning boards have cracked if they
tare net broken it
SOUTH CAROLINA'S SHAVE.
Chamberlain, tho Republican defeated can
didata for Governor took tho oath of ofiieo be
fore a Prolato Judge on Thursday of lnt
week. This was illegal, as tlio law requires
tho oath to lie administered by ono of tho
Justices of the Supremo Court. It was pro
tended that n bill had Just been passed repeal
ing tins law, but it really only pasrod tho
(louse and not tho Senate and is consequent
ly of no weight. Chamberlain niado a pcech
aeeepting tho office, which is not wottli print
ing in full. Ho fa id among other things that
"he had mourned over previous public abus
es Ho had labored for honesty; but he
.tood appalled at tho recent crimes ngaitit
1'ieedoiii and good government lceentiy wit
nessed here." If ho meant by this the action
of tlio Returning lwnnl and tho bogus Legis
lature, ho might well haVo been "appalled"
but ho didn't mean any such plain fact, lie
intended to stigmatise ns "criinos'Jthocnbrts
of the decent citizens of the State to fccuro
an honest government nnd kick ratals out.
He denounced tho conduct of tho Democrat
io campaign as a brutal outrage, depending
on fraud, proscription, intimidation Mid iiiut
der. Hampton had said ho not only held tho
peace of tho State, but his, (Chamberlain's)
life in his hand. This ho did not dobut. His
life could bo easily taken, but nothing could
nbato his hatred and opposition to the enslave
ment of the people of South Carolina. All
other considerations niu.-t yield to duty,to ro
fist the final success of that outrage attempted
by tho Democrats.
This called from Governor Hampton the
i'ollowing hharp card :
Tlio following paragraph ntmcant in an ad
dress of I). II, Chamberlain delivered in the
capitol to-day ! "Tho gentleman who was my
opponent for this office in tho lato election
has recently declared, as I am credibly inform
ed, that ho holds not only tho ikmco of this
city and Stato.but uiy life in his hand. I do
not doubt tho truih of this statement. Neith
er tho publio peace nor tho life nf any man
who now opposes thei consummation of this
policy of fraud nnd violence is raft from tho
assaults of those who have enforced that poli
cy." I nronouncc this statement wfamouslv false.
I. bv mv unwearied exertions, havo endeav
ored to preservo the peace of this State, and
I havo thus contributed to shield from nopu
ular indignation one who has proved himself
disgrace to Ins rant and a traitor to his
trust. U is conscience may make lutn trcm-
but neither I nor tho men with whom I
act countenance tho hand of the assassin.
USignedJ, Wade Hampton.
Thoso who have followed tho courso of
events during tho troubles in the State, know
how true are the statements contained in this
card.
The A'athn, "with the utmost respect,"
makes this appeal to Governor Hayes: "You
aro an honest man, in whosa lite not even
the fierce light of a Presidential campaign
has revealed a speck of reproach. From a
tribunal, therefore, liko tho Louisiana Re
turning Hoard, composed exclusively of your
frieuds and partizans, whose judicial integ
rity and capacity havo been already success
fully impeached j whic'i refuses to obey tho
direction of the law and give the opposite
party even ono place on its bench; which
deliberates in secret, andgivcano reasous for
its decisions; which sees glaring frauds ex
posed in its presence without manifesting
either surprise or displeasure, and which
notoriously enjoys not one iota of confidence
in any part of the Union from such a tri
bunal you would not accept tho award of
even $100 neainst the claim of tho humblest
man in America, would you? We know
you would not. Are you now prepared to
accept at its hands nn office which equals nny
crown in dignity and surpasses most crowns
in power ad responsibility, which no man
has hitherto held with a stain of suspicion
resting on his title? Can you encounter the
terrible ordeal of holding such a position for
four years in the fuco ot the belief of full
half the voters that you have obtained it
through judicial fraud and chicane? Would
not your so holding it be a new nnd great
misfortune to the country, and a source of
unending shame and rcpentanco to yourself?
Should you allow eager and unscrupulous
politicians to override yourown nobler judg
ment and thrust it upon you? Finally do
you suppose that in an otlico so won, and
needing so much popular respect, if not
popular support, to give it either dignity or
authority, you could exert any appreciable
inliuence in behalf of any uf the causes
which you and all good men have at heart 7

imi,ACWNTOlTllE ItECF.-VT INTERVIEWS
with Tin: president,
WAsiitNoroN, Dec 12. Tho following is
furnished by Hon. Abrani S. Hewitt, ad
dressed to tlio Washington ngent of the as
sociated press : In yesterday's papers I find
a dispatch from you r'gardlng n conversa
tion with President Giant in referenco
to tlio unfortunate state of affairs in South
Carolina nud my Interviews with him Iu re
ferenco thereto, feo far ns South Carolina
was concerned the Piesident enjoined no
confidence, but expressly stated that I was
at liberty to communicate his views to tho
public. Ho did enjoin confidence In regard
to what he said of Louisiana affairs, nnd
thnt confidence I havo respected, although,
as I havo already stntcd to him, I believed
the publication of tho statement would do
much to tranqiiilizc tho public mind. In
regard to South Carolina the President slated
that;in his judgment not less than sixty
three members, having certificates from tho
secretary of state, wcro eligible to organize
the house and transact business. As this
view accorded with my own, nnd ns no con
fidence wnt enjoined, I telegraphed It In tho
following language :
"A. C. llastell, Chairman. Chnrlcthn, S.
Ct I am ablo to say that neither house
will be recognized by tho President until it
gets sixty-three members holding certificates
from the returning board.
(Signed) A ti it am S. Hewitt. '
My object in sending this dispatch was
that I thought it would tend to allay excite
ment in South Carolina nnd prevent n col
lision between the people and the troops, of
which wo were very apprehensive. On the
6th of December I received :i reply, which
induced mo to send tho following telegrams
to tho President :
7b Me J'retident .' I have received a re
liable telegram from Columbia stating that
the sixty-third member holding a certificate
from the secretary of state has been sworn
into tho houso presided over by Speaker
Wallaoe, which is therefore orgauized m ac
cordance with tho requirements ot the law,
as stated by you."
To the President: I have just received
n Into dispatch saying that tho Supreme
Court of Sutli Carolina has proiiouncud its
judgment and declared tho houo presided
over by W. N. Wallace to be tho legally
constituted house of represeutatives,and that
Mackey is u private person, not speaker or
in any respect an officer of the legislative
body."
On the evening of the same day, Ssi ator
Randolph suggested that he nud I should
call upon tho President and ask him wheth-
under tho circumstances he could not
see his way cl nr to order the with Jnw nl af
the United States troops from Columbia and
rccoguize tho house ot representatives so
constituted with sixty-three members. The
President granted in an interview, which
began by my raying that I hnd sent him
two telegrams from the house in reference
to South Carolina affairs. Tho President
at once replied that ho had received them
and that very late on the preceding cven-
ng ho had received a telegram from Colum
bia saying that I had informed parties there
that tho President would recognize as tho
legal nous that body which should have
C3 members with certificates fro m the sec
retary of Btatc. Tho President said that he
had replied that he did not bclievo I had
said ho had done bo and that at any rate it
was not true.
I replied that I had not sent any telegram
to that effect, but had sent one as nearly as
I could rccollcot as follows : "I am able to
say that tho President will not recognize
any houso that docs not contain sixty three
mombers with original certificates from the
returning board."
Tho President replied: "That is correct,
I did say so. That was my private opinion
but I did not say that 1 would recognize a
hoase that had 03 members."
I replied : "That is true, but I think it is
implied, and wo have come to ask you to do
The President replied that as at present
advised ho must decline to recoguiza the
uoi.sC containing sixty-three members, and
he did not .know that ho would recognize
the other house ; thatChamberlain was gov
ernor until some one was regularly inaugu
rated iu bis place, and that he would sus
tain him. The President did not say that I
had violated his confidence in any particular
but he said it would havo been a violation
of his confidence if I had sent tho telegram
reported to him from Columbia, the sending
of which I again denied. I then reminded
tho President that he had tho minus of test
ing tho accuracy of my recollection of his
stiteinents, becanse immediately after tho
uterview on Sunday I dictated thesubstance
of tho conversation and furnished h m with
a copy and requested him to return to me
with any correction ho might clumso to
make, to be published, If he wmild c Hsent;
ono to bo retained for his future inspection
iu case after tho 4th of March next his in
tentions should bo called in question. He
had not returned me the copy mi i'iir:ii-licd
nor made any corrections therein to my
kuowltdge
The President said nothing to me iu regard
to my using any of his statements for pur
poses of defeating the party which ho (tho
President) represented. I havo never rt'
garded the Piesident nf tho United States
as representing any party, and 1 shall regret
to see the Piesident take an other position
than that of the hnnirt'd head of lliu people
of the United States without regard to
party.
