'' : Timothy Huxley, the questioned South' Carolina elector, testifies that he was born in Boston. ,! The objections to the Watts certifi cate are: First, that the papers pur porting to be the certificates of the electoral votes of the State of Oregon have not annexed to them a certificate of the Governor of Oregon, as required to be made aud annexed by sections 136 and 138 U.S. rev. 8 tat. i Second The papers have not an nexed to them a list of the names of Cartwright, Odell and .Watta, as elec tors, to which the seal of the State of Oregon was affixed by the Secretary of State, and signed by the Governor and Secretary, as required tyy section 60 of chapter xiv, L, 9, of the. general laws of Oregon. Third It was tho right and duty of the Governor' of Oregon to give certi Scales of t lection or appointment to John 0. Cartwright, Win. II. Odell and E. A. Cronin, they being the throe persons capab'e : of being appointed presidential electors, who received the highest number of votes at the election had in Oregon on November 7th, 187C. Fourth Cartwright and Odell had no right or authority in law to appoint Watts an elector "on" December 6th 1876, inasmuch as they did not on that day compose or form any part of the electoral college of Oregon as by law constituted. ! Sixth Cartwright aid Odell had no authority to appoint Watts an' elector opt December 6, 1876, because , on that day Watts was still postmaster at La- Fayette, Oregon, and was! 'still on that day holding the said office Of profit and trust;:1 -rr.: :Z7t';: . Seventh Watte, who claims to be an elector in the above described cer tificate, was, in February! 1873. ap pointed ' postmaster at LaFayette Oregon, , and was 'duly, commissioned and qualified as such.' postmaster, that being an office of profit and trust unde the laws of the, United States, and con tinned to be and act as such postmas ter. from February, 183, until after November 13, 186, and was acting as such postmaster on November 7, 1876 when presidential electors were ap pointed by the State of Oregon, and that he was ineligible to be appointed as one "of the said presidential electors, .;Eightb-t-Wbon. ithe Governor p Oregon caused the lists of the names of the electors of the State to be made and certified, such lists did not contain the name of said Watts, but did con tain the names of Cartwright, Odell and I'runlu, who were dujy; wjrpoiitad electorsof President anil Yk Presi dent of the CuitedStaies tuGtne State of Oregon, m Nossmbet 7th, , , ' Oljttion to CrfiliaV-fert8ict4 First, iKaue of- laid pewous was ever appointed elettor by the State in any manner whatever, q f. Second Because jt appears tr6iri the records iikV 'Imperii contained 'Js'.ajd attachei,a rthe cerUficateoof H. II. OMnJ. C. Cartwright abOM W Witts that they'wefti alyppo1rrted electors and have,, thr votes as such. Third Because ii !does uol 'appear from the face of Gov. i G rover's certifi cate attached to the return) of the votes of Cronin, Miller and Parker, that such certificate Was iffsed to the persons having the largest number of votes for electors, but jssueiL.ta per sons whom lie deemed eligible, though one of them E. "X. Cronin-was' not appointed ; thereW 'according to the laws of the State or Oregon. " ' Fourth Because it appears from the certificate of Ciadwickaec retary of State, that Odell, Cartwright and Watts received the highest num ber of votes, and that the Secretary of State, in pursuance of the law, so de clared, aud ' that therefore the certifi cate of the Governor - in so far as it omitted to certify the name of Js W. Watts as one of the electors appointed and id so far as such certificate contain ed the name of E. A. Cronin, as one of the electors appointed fails to conform to the acts of Congress in Such cases made aud provided, and to the law of Oregon, and that such certificate is, as to said Cronin, without authority and of no effect. ' ': ''-'' Fifth Because it appears from both certificates that Odell and Cartwright, majority ol the electoral college, were duly appointed electors by the1 State f Oregon in, the .manner directed by the Legislature, that their record pre sented to tho President of the Senate and by them to the two Houses, shows that a vacancy in the office of the electoral college existed toil thV day fixed by law for the meeting of the electors and that sttch vancancV was filled by the appointment of Watts.
