Iv most coulines inthe State pext line, Camp 20. A few days ugo we visited Camp 20, where the works of the People’s Ice Company are sitnated. There we fonnd a scene of bustle and activity. . About twenty-five men ure engaged in gathering the crop of ice. Tue machinery used by the Company is of the very best character. Their eudlessschain elevator, of tbe Knickerboeker patent, is said to be the only{ one in use on the coast. Ou Saturdiy, between daylight and dark, 1,500 tons of ice were stored, From this statement:an idea may be furmed of. the amount of work which can be dynein a short space of time. Already tbe ice Lonses-are Tuesiay wilk be the last dgy to p-y) up witbout costwand we presume i! . will be so bere, although we are not ffleially. every tax-payer should go aud-seitle . up to-d ‘y, abd bé on.-tbe sufe side. } 80 iitormed; : At any rate, . The Stock Report sayn: “A firm at Nevada Cry tas ia d dge for. adclare. His duty is purely minis:erial, . and he has no discrétion. If the. person elected isineligible, the law) has provided competent tribunals to . determine the f:ct.

And yet the Democracy of Califoruia, and its Guvernor, bave been feasting = and honoring the man who has plain~ dy violated the laws of his State fur mere party advantaze. Now the Democracy of Missouri elected » man by the name of Fr st, who had been an officer in the Rebel army aud was by the Fourteenth Amendment, disqualitied for the position. ‘Lue law of Missouri provides that if an elector is absent when the College meets, the electors preseut shall proceved to fill the vacancy. Mr. Frost huviug received the highest number.of votes and being iueligible the otber electors at once proceeded to fillthe vacancy. The Governor of ibut State did not give his certificate to the elector having the next highest number of votes, who es: : was a Republican. Not mach! That is the difference between tweedicdeand tweediedum. If our Dewocratic friends claim so persistently that the elector receiviug the next highest uamber of votes in Oregon is the proper person to-receive the office, will they~ concede that the Stite of Missouri ought to count one. Republican Electoral vote? Is it for the purpose of eaubling Congress to go behind the face of certified returns in this case that Gov-ernor Irwin vo loudly applanded Governor Grover? We rather think this is a Democrutic rule that they donot want to work both ways. _ .
