It is olear that beiug ineligible to an appointment all votes cast for tln.ni woro void, and that a resignation of the office of postmastev sinue their (ippointmeut or election will not cure the fault or entitle them to accept and servo. It is, if not equally clear, t.ln: strong legal presumption that in both Oregon and Verinont one of the Oemocrutic Electoral candidates, if one of them has a larger nuinber of votes than auy othur, is olected. If there shall be no such one, but a tie on two or more, the local laws of tho State must determine the manuur of choice. Ín this State there would be a vaoaDcy to bo decided or fílled by the Eleotoral College whon convened. Tbe Deinoerats desire no electors elected by mistnko and whose votes inay misrepreseut tbe people of a State, but if the voters of Florida, Louisiana, or South Carolina are to be disfrauchised by the Ruturuing Boards and canvassers it is well to hold a rod in piek le ovur tho heads of the machine managers who stand behind such boards. The Detroit Pust aeeks to niiiku a littlo political capital out of the hyenalike attempt to steal the bones of Abra ham Liucolu on the evening of election day. Judging by the mismituagemeut of the detectives acciduntully discüargiug a pistol uud warning the hyenas to "get"- there is room for suspicion that there was really no design to steal the rcmains, and that the whole was a job put up for the express purpose of stirriug up seotional jealousiea. We UEOHET our inability to teil our readers who is to be Prosident. Oregon is conceded to the Republicans, but both partios still claim Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina. Tho Demócrata baso tboir claims ou figures, official and setni-otnoial ; the Kepublicans give no tígures, but cry "traud" and " inütnidation," and roly upon partisan and oorrupt eanvassers and roturning boards. Leading Demoorata are watching the boards in all three States, and the returns cannot be " dootored" without detection and exposure. In South Caroliua, where the canvass was to commence yesterday, the Supreme Court has been apealed to to restrain " rbvision" of the returns, but as there can be nojassistance in Louisiana, affidavits will supplant the ballots The situation is uot satisfactory. The constitutional amendment increasing the 3alaries of circuit judges to $2,500 has been defeated by a largo majority, proviug the voters " pennywise and pound-foolish." The license olause amendment is also defeated, ; and the short-time amendment olause, which ought to have been defeuted,is adopted Tilden has 184 votes, Hayes has 166 votes, and 19 votes are to be dotermined by affidavit and the cussodneBS of oanvassers and returning boards.
