The organization of the militia of
South Carolina, under the enroll
ment ordered by Gov. Humpton, is
progressing rapidly.
The Telegraph says that the mule
trade of Macon has I>een heavier this
season than it has been for years.
This certainly indicates improve
ment and an extension of farming op
erations. _
J. 11. gray bill. Ksq., cleared on Satur
day the American balk Oasis, Captain
Lord, for Liverpool, with a cargo of 8,633
baits of upland cotton, weighing 1,036,001
pounds, valued at $103,904,00.
A special Washington disputeh to
the New Orleans Democrat reports
one of the Democratic members of
the Electoral Commission ns saying
on Monday: "My dear boy, I thluk
I can name seven men who will flg
uro in history as having played the
most ridiculous part in the most sol

The citizens of Mllledgeville, in
public meeting on the 6th inst.,
appointed committee to make ar
rangements for the hospitable enter
tainment of the delegates to the
State Agricultural Convention, which
will meet in that city on the 6th of
March. The City Council has ap
propriated S3OO to help In providing
for their accommodation.
The Railroad Gcuetts reports the
new mileage for the year 1876 as 2,-
442 miles, of which 388 was iu Texas,
350 io California, 270 ill Ohio and 155
in Colorudo. Tills is the most exten
sive of any year since 1873. There
was also built 537 miles of narrow
gauge in 1876. The total mileage in
the country of broad gauge is now
76,640.
Gen. Grant declared, in the early
stage of the preeeut political compli
cation, that no honorable man could
afford to accept the Presidency if his
election were tainted with the sus
picion of fraud. What shall we
think of a man who accepts
the office knowing that his
election was declared simply because
of the inefficiency of the law to reach
and correct detected frauds?
An Englishman corresponding
with the London Times from Colum
bia, S. C., states that the ruilroads in
South Carolina give freo passes to
the members of the Legislature, and
that for the Inst, eight years it has
been the regular custom of the negro
members to take tho outgoing cars
every night, returning to Columbia
on them the next morning—by this
means saving their night’s lodging.
By taking the 7 o’clock i\ m. train
from Columbia, to Sixty-six station,
they met the train from Charleston
and returned on it to Columbia, fresh
for the legislative work of tho day.
Tins Now York TrUjune believes that
tlm four years upon which the country
will enter after a President is inaugurated
will prove a period of the most health
ful prosperity, provided that there is no
tampering with tho tariff or tho currency
to upset things. Tho symptoms of this
are visible on every side, and one of
them is the popular impatience to have
the Presidential question settled. So con
vinced arc many that the good times are
near at hand that they are taking advan
tage of the low price of labor and surplus
ol capital in the country to manufacture
in anticipation of the coming improve
ment in business,
Mit. Etonian Mekk.Ci, who made a
masterly argument before the Eleo
toralCommission theotherday, isone
of the first lawyers of the land and
an orator who should bear relation
ship to Demosthenes or Cicero. Mr.
Merrick is small in stature, but great
in intellect. Some years ago he was
counsel in the defense of John H,
Surratt, who was charged with being
an accomplice in the assassination of
President Lincoln. President Grant’s
friend. Judge Fisher, was then on
the Bench. Surratt was acquited,
and he owes his acquittal in a large
measure to Mr. Merrick’s legal
sagacity.
Okeoon. —We copy to-day the llrst
explicit statement of the law ol
Oregon concerning the appointment
of Presidential F.tectors, and of the
whole proceedings-jconnected with
the caatingof the tfro set s of votes
for thfct Statef that we have yet seen.
As Oregon is the next State to go
before the Commission after Louis
iana, these facts will be interesting.
It will be seen that a great deal
depends upon the question whether
the ineligibility of Watts made a
“vacancy" which the two other Hayes
Electors were authorized by law to
fill. If the Commlssioh holds that
it did, the action of Governor Grover
appointing Cronin will doubtless be
pronounced irregular, and Watts’
vote (given sfter ; he had re
signed hi* Hostmastership
and been appointed by the
other Hayo* will be re
ceived. ft is a lejpal Question, upon
which &e do not feel competent to
pronounce a decided opinion. But
we may state that ffte laiv of Ehode
Island did not permit Corliss to
qualify in this way; the Supreme
Court of that State ruled that he had
nothing to rfeig'n, that it was a ease
of failure to elect, and that tho Gen
eral Assembly and not the board of
Electors had the right to choose the
fourth Elector. Unless a vacancy
had “occurred” in the Electoral
board of Oregon by .reason of the in
eligibility of Watts, it would seem
that his colleagues had no right to
appoint him or anybody else as the
third Elector.
A MAII MISTAKE.
It appears to have been a mistaken
notion that the Justices of the Su
preme Court, in their notion as mem
bers of tho Eleotoral Commission,
would entirely overlook any party
considerations and give judgment ac
cording to law and justice only. They
seem to have acted striotly as an ar
bitration rather than as a court of
justice. Judges Miller and Strong
were chosen us the representatives
of tho Republican party on the Com
mission, and they have never voted
against tho interest of that party
yet. Judges Clifford and Field,the De
mocratic representatives, have been
equally'steadfast on tbe other side;
and Judge Bradley, choson by these
four us the ultimate umpire, Is the
only member of the commission
whose votes have not been invaria
bly on the stdo of one of the political
parties. The general conviction is
that he Is to give the catling vote on
all essential questions. It thus ap
pears that In this commission, as
iu all tribunals of arbitration, every
member acts steadily in view of the
interests of tho party which he
represents, and this deprives tho
commission of tho character
which the Democrats intended
to give it—that of a wholly impartial
and unprejudiced high court, whose
duty it was to do exact justice wlthiu
the limits of the constitution and
luws. The Democrats knew full
well, when they accepted the com
mission, that it must inevitably have
in its composition a majority of their
political opponents, because there
were not three Democrats among
tho Justices of the Supreme Court.
They could not, then, have gone
into the agreement with the
understanding that the ju
dicial members of the Commission
would aot as common arbitrators
faithful to tho respective partios by
or for whom they were chosen, but
rather as a high court from which all
political bias and consideiations
would be excluded. They have been
deceived in this matter so fur, and
unless Judge Bradley, rising above
all party obligation, should act hence
forth ns an unprejudiced umpire,
they will be exaetly in the position
of a party contestant who entrusts
his case to arbitrators, a majority of
whom are primarily opposed to him.
Eight men will out vote seven, and
that will be the upshot.
[Communicated.)
Columbus, ga. Fab. 14th, 1877.
Editors Columbus Times;
Gentlemen The response by the
proprietors of the Columbus Enquirer
to my communication of the 12th
inst., protesting against what I con
sidered to be a personal attack upon
Hon R. J. Moses, is satisfactory to
me and his friends at large.
Mv letter was based upon an edito
rial in tho Enquirer of Sunday last,
under the caption of “Utilizing Gam
bling,” and I leave to a discrimina
ting public to decide, whether my
course was not eminently proper.
I shall leave this matter now just
where it is—stating that I shall avoid
a personal newspaper controversy—
that I entered into it with reluctance,,
forced as I then considered by a per
sonal attack upon one, whom, the
public will admit, I have in privato
matters, tho right to defend.
Respecting the communication,
marked “Confidential,’’and which de
spite this notice tho Enquirer saw fit
to criticise, I have merely tills to say:
The Enquirer is at liberty to publish
the same. The Enquirer's strictures
upon mo personally will scarcely in
terest tho public. I am sure they
give me no concern.
Respectfully,
W. M. Moses.
Will rmituslt-rliiK Follow the Action

Hpociul to Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Washington, Feb. n.—There is a
olass of Democrats who repudiate
with considerable feeling any move
ment which will prolong the count
over the 4t.h of March, even if Hayes
is given Louisiana and Oregon. They
are the gilt-edge class, whose princi
ple reading is tho date upon their
bonds when the coupons fall due.
"We are responsible fortheTribunal,
and must bow in quiet submission to
its mandates.” say they. Like the
Quaker, they stand listlessly by, and
let the steal go on. I think I state a
fact in announcing that so sure as
Louisiana is given to Tildon, from
that hour the Republicans will begin
filibustering to make it impossible
to conclude the count by the 4th of
March. If it is given to Hayes, it is
within the power of tho Democrats
to play at the same game. The lead
ers say. however, “If we indulge in
the pdlioy of delay, and then foroe a
new election, the country will not
sustain us at the polls.” There is
some reasou in this, but the Republi
cans argue that, Louisiana given to
Tilden, they are dead anyhow, and
the corpse of the party cannot be
rnedered more defunct by inviting
the censure which may attach to
such an act. Undoubtedly, which
ever party interposes dilatory tactics
will be injured. The Democrats, in
doing it, would have a cause more
inst than their adversaries. It is a
law of nature to prevent a thief from
stealing, especially if done right under
one’s eyes. The Grand Tribunal is
organized for the steal of a Presiden
cy, and opinions differ whether it is
not a good plan to stop the thief.
David Davis.— A good many people
may be fooled about the politics of Judge
David Davis. It is understood that he
would have voted for Bristow had the
tetter been nominated for President.
Whether he voted for Hayes or Tilden, or
either, is not clearly known. An intim
ate friend of the Judge declares tho lat
ter never voted the Democratic ticket in
his life. It is not certain that he voted at
all in the lost election, but wo are of the
opinion that he did got endorse the nomi
nation of Mr. Greeley in 1872, and pre
ferredJGrnnt to Greeley. However, the
Judge is full of wisdom. He always keeps
his own counsel, which is more than can
he said of most public men in these days.
Cincinnati Enquirer. '
It, will be interesting, if unpleasant
to tea topers, to learn that a suit has
recently been instituted in New York
against a man to restrain him from
“continuing the business” of prepar
ing old tea leaves with various pois
onous substances, to be sold to the
public as good new tea.
MMM.
from tbo Cincinnati Enquirer, 13th int.
The Oregon question is disturbing
the Republican mind to seine extent
for excellent reasons. The Republi
can journalsare persistently misrep
resenting the facts in the case us well
us misquoting the law. It may be
that the Oregon question will be
practically settled by the Electo
ral Commission in their decision up
on the questions of ineligibility aris
ing in Louisiana, but it is a thorn in
the Republican iiesh, nevertheless.
In it are involved some points not
identical with those presented iu any
other .State, and the Commission are
fettered to some extent by their rul
ings in the case of Florida. Sen. Mor
ton and the Cincinnati Commercial,
and tiieir kind.are laboring to distort
tho law and the facts so us to make it
seem proper for the Commission to
stultify themselves when they rouch
Oregon. The Commission are commit
ted to two proposltoos by tbeirFlorlda
rei>ort which are decisive of the Ore
gon question:
1. The Commission ruled, by plain
implication, that no certificate was
good as against u constitutional inel
igibility.
2. The Commission held that the
certificate even of a tie facto Gov
ernor, who was not Governor dejure,
und wtio lias since been ousted by
the highest Court iu Florida, was
valid aud binding as against every
thing but a proved constitutional in
eligibility.
The receiving of testimony touch
ing the eligibility of Humphreys was
the admission of the former of these
propositions. Otherwise, why admit
that testimony? It would be idle to
take evidence relating to the eligibil
ity of an Elector if that evidence
could not affect thecouuting of his
vote. But the Commission said that
the certificate of a Governor defacto,
though ttie votes actually cast have
been decided to be ugainst him,
though the Courts and tbo Legisla
ture have prouounced him no
Governor, was competent to author
ize the Hayes Electors, known not to
have been elected, to cast the vote of
Florida. How will these rulings
work in Oregon? Watts, it is admit
ted, was ineligible. One Republican
claim is that under the law of Oregon
the certificate of the Secretary of
State is the esoential thing
and tbo Republicans will, therefore,
rest upon that Secretary’s certificate.
But the Commission, in the Florida
case, were of opinion that no certifi
cate was valid as opposed to proved
ineligibility under the constitution.
So this can not save the vote of
Watts, unless the Commission are to
be throughout an Eight to Seven
Commission, no matter what the law
and the facts. Asa matter of fact,
the Oregon law requires the certifi
cate of the Governor to be attached
to the names of the Electors elected.
This pure Tribunul will surely pay us
much respect to the de facto and de
jure government of Oregon, whose
legality is not in dispute, as to the
de facto government of Florida, that
has been kicked out of doors. Hav
ing decided that they will heed the
acts of the illegal State authorities in
Florida, as against votes paid courts
aud Legislature, how can they refuse
to respect the acts of the legally con
stituted State authorities in Oregon ?
Having declined in Florida to look
behind the Stato certificate, save to
inquire into the eligibility of the net
sous assuming to be Electors, now
can the Commission consistently
crawl behind the certificate from Or
egon ? The law of Oregon pertinent
to this point has been erroneously
stated. It is as follows:
“Tho Electors of President and Vico
President shall oonveneat theseat of Oov
ernmont on the first Wednesday of Deoein
hor next uftor the election, at the hour of
12 of tlio clock atnoor: of that day, and if
there shall bo any vacancy in the office of
an Elector occasioned by death, refusal to
act, neglect to attend, or otherwise, the Elec
tors present shall immediately proceed to
till, oy vivo voce and plurality of votes,
such vacancy in tho Electoral College.
Tlio Secretary of Stato shall prepare two
lists of the nnnies of Electors elected, aud
affix the seal of the State to tho same.
Such lists shall be signed by the Governor
utut /Secretary, and by the latter delivered
to tho College of Electors at tho four of
their meeting on such first Wednesday o!
December. The Electors shall trmko and
sign throe certificates of all tho votes
given by them, each of which certificates
shall contain two distinct lists, one of tho
votes for President, and the othor of the
votes for Vice President, and shall annex
to each of the certificates one of tho lists
of the Eleetors which shall have been fur
nished to them by direction of tho Secre
tary of State.”
The action of the contending Elec
tors under this law has also been
falsely reported. The most authentic
account, aud ono taken from a Re
publican source, we reproduce:
"At tho hour of 12 tho candidates upon
both tickets assembled in the room as
signed the Electors in the State House,
six in number. Secretary Chadwick placed
the three certificates in an envelope, and,
opening the door, handed them to the
person named in them, who was standing
nearest, which was Cronin, the Tilden
Elector. Most likely ho was conveniently
near, intentionally. Ho received the en
velope, and, opening, reud the certificate.
On the invitation ot Cartwright, u Deputy
United States Marshal came into ihe
room, locked the door, and put the key in
his pocket. Cronin said the door must be
unlocked and the Marshal must leave the
room. After some altercation the Marshal
left. Odell then looked the door and took
the key. Cronin deiunnded that it
should be uulocked, which was done. He
then asked Odell and Cartwright ir
they were ready to proceed with the bu-i
--ness of the College. They replied in sub
stance that they would nut rocognizo him
as an|Elector, or act with him as such.
Whereupon ho appointed a Mr. Miller, of
Jackson county, to the vacancy created
by Cartwright’s refusal to aot. Mr. Mil
ler was called in, and asking Mr. Cart
wright If he refused to act, and, being
unsweredin the affirmative accepted, and
he and Cronin appointed Parker, of Linn
county, to the vacaucy occasioned by
Odell’s refusal to act. Miller was chosen
President and Parker Secretary of the Col
lege. Cronin east his vote for Pilden and
Hendricks, and Miller and Parker theirs
for Hayes and Wheeler, as they wore ap
pointed in place of Hayes and Wheeler
Eleetors. Cronin was chosen Messenger,
the three eertiilcates required by United
States and Oregon laws made, and one of
the Governor’s certificates attached to
each as required by the Oregon statute,
and tile College adjourned.
“In the meantime, and during the same
time, and in the same room, Cartwright
appointed Odell President and Odell ap
pointed Cartwright Secretary, Watts ten
dered his risignation, and Cartwright ami
Odll appointed him to fill his vaeanoy,
and Ihe three east three votes for Hayes
and Wheeler, appointed Odell Messenger,
made certificates of their proceedings, to
which they attached certilied copies of
the vote of the State. The certificates re
quired by State were attached to the pro
ceedings of Cronin and colleagues, and of
course Cartwright, Odell and Watts had
none to annex to theirs. Both our stat
ute and the Uuited States laws require
that the Electors shall vote for President
and Vice-President bv ballot. Watts,
Odell and Cartwright did not so vote, or
vote in any form. Cartwright draw from
his pocket a prepared report of the pro
ceedings, which was signed, when they
adjourned. The proceedings may set
forth that they voted without designating
how, but such proceeding was not had."
This is the taw and these are facts,
and tinder the Florida decision, how
can the Cammission count three Or
egon votes for Hayes?
A Chicago newspaper says that a
St.. Louis belle, travelling in Europe,
had a last-made exactly like her foot;
and she got it through the Custom
House free of charge, as a work of
art, by pretending that it was a part
of Betnoldi’s colossal statue of
Liberty.
TWO liUUWINU NOITIIIUN kTtTEN
Tbe two fast growing Slates of the
Bouth at present are Texas and Flor
ica. There is no doubt that Florida,
now that she has an honest and
stable State government, will fill up
much faster than previously. In
deed we already hear of anew impe
tus being given to immigration. Her
delightful climate, adaptability to
tropical productions, and abundant
game and fish,all have their attrac
tions. We doubt whether the cul
ture of the orange will prove so
profitable as has been calculated—
tho early decay of the fruit and the
difficulty of transporting it to long
distances and through greatly vary
ing degree of temperature,must cause
great loss and considerably reduce
the profit. But there are other trop
ical productions that may succeed
and prove more valuable than the
orange in Florida. If coffee can be
successfully grown in the Southern
portion—and there is every reason to
believe that itcan—here isa field for
an enterprise that can hardly be
overdone, and the profit of which
must be lasting and secure. The
monopoly which Florida must al
ways enjoy, as the only portion of
the United States (in their present
limits at least) in which certain trop
ical fruits aud plants can bo grown
to perfection, must for a longtime
to come attract Immigration and in
vestments.
Texas is tho other Southern State
now rapidly increasing its popula
tion by immigration. It is estimated
that during last year 100,000 emi
grants crossed Red river on their way
to Texas, and that is only one route
by which they went by thousands.
Unless the State is previously divid
ed, tho census of 1880 will doubtless
show it to have the largest popula
tion of any State south of the Ohio
aud State of Missouri. Before
that time, too, it will show
a larger production of cotton
thau any other Southern State,
besides raising a larger amount of
breadstuffs than any south of Ten
nessee. In cattle raising it now
excels any other State, and this bus
iness and sheep pasturing alone
upon its prairies could afford employ
ment and support to a population
as large as that of Georgia. Texas
is capable of division into at least
three large States, and as the treaty
of annexation stipulates for its divis
ion whenever the population de
mands it, we may reasonably antici
pate that number of States organ
ized out of its territory in a short
time, and all of them growing and
prosperous.
