claim should be set up, and contend that the word
ELECTORS is not used in the act referred to- sim
ply because the electors are included under the
head OF State officers, which expression is used in
the act.
Tallahassee despatch to the Herald says that
Gov Stearns is considering whether it is not his
duty to personally canvass the vote for electors
on the ground that the State law makes no provis-
ION that the canvasslng board shall canvass the
votes for electors. 1t only declares that they
shall count the votes for all State officers, mem
bers OF congress and legislators. The word
electors does not occur. la response to the
committee OF democrats, who waited upon him on
TINS subject, Gov Stearns said that If he decided
TO canvass the vote for electors he would give
thoh Inil hearing on their protest against his
ton. The democrats claim that the board should
canvass the electoral vote, as electors are State

From an occasional Correspondent.
New YORK, SATURDAY.. Nov. %.
Word has Just come here that the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION is satisfied that Hayes is
elected, and will see HIM inaugurated on
The strength Of the Information it had
received from Louisiana and Florida
What information it has got, which is
not accessible to other parties, cannot be
surmised 1t has no machinery Tor get
ting the truth which is not svailsbleto
the agents of the press, and no facts yet
known to our journals warrant the con-
rlusiOn to which it has come. The an
nouncement is received here with ON
nous silence and u gloomy shaking of
the head The truth may as well be
confessed that many of the leading
Republicans have lesSening confidence
in the Administration, and look with I'M
disguised anxiety on what 1t sanctions
even more than on what il does. If an
unfair advantage Is taken in favor of
HAYES, this city Will ring with such a
protest from the Republicans as has not
been heard since the war. It Is fortu-
nate for the country that Tilden is a
peace man.

Signs of UneRsipeSs.

The Republican organs are getting
uneasy. On account OF the silence and the
unimpsfed cheertslness, of Mr.. Tilden.
His calm and confident demeanor frets
them exceedingly. His obstinate good
health, and quiet assumption that all will
come right, makes them fear that there
is crushing reply to all their conspira-
cies and Vaccinations. They have res-
son to think so, too; tor every time that
our Uncle Samuel has broken silence he
has also broken up some OF their little
games. The income-tax affair looked
very serious at one time, but Mr.. Tilden

lnitted to it, ana then he came out and
sat on IT," and made an end OF 1t. Then
came the southern claims" assault. he
waited until the dust of the bate over
the southern claims obscured every other
issue. Then he came out with his letter,
which showed not only that he was .un-
ssssiable in that direction, but that The
Republicans were so vulnersbleiIatt hat
point that it would be besuto drop the
subject. So the organs dropped these
things and handed them over to the
caricaturists.
Now the administration party in its
effort to c.unt Hayes in, is wsding
through frauds and illegaiitIes. They
are perfectly conscious that every step IN
their Gawless march toward usurpation
ia watched with eyes OF most intelligent
scrutiny, and every mistake fully noted.
Their task is very difficult one, and
they 20 on plunging deeper and deeper
into frauds and lsw-defying violences.
ltJwould be q positive relief to them to
have somebody 10 quarrel with, and to
have some resistance TO overcome But
they have neither. They cannot provoke
the Democrats into sSshow of vio-
lsnce, nor can they put them
in the wrong. They are embarrassed
By the fullness of their own power. The
old saying "GIve him rope enough and
he will hang himself" comes to mind in
this connection. They have plenty of
rope and they are getting worse and
worse entangled every day. All this Is
not lost upon our Uncle Samuel. The
brag, bluff and buster, troops, organs
and Zach Chandler are things that he
perfectly understs nds, and the organs
know It, That is why they are getting
so restless. They are shiyerlng with fear
that their conspiracy is built Of such
rotten material that it will fall down of
ILs own weight They shudder at the
idea Of what will happen when it gets a
good shake Baltimore Gazette.

timony depends the entire case against
BabcUck. Harrington has not been found,
but it is believed he will come forward
and take his chance, though the evidence
against him is very positive. There is
no evidence duplicating Ex-Governor

The Blaine Scandal.

CHICAGO, April 15.-The conference
between Hon. Joseph Medill, Mr.. Rich
ard S. Smith, and. three other gentlemen,
at Cincinnati, having led to the maay
mis-statements alike unjust TO Hon.
James g. Blaine and the gentlemen
named, an agent Of the associated press
interviewed Mr.. Medill to-day, on that
subject, and received the following state
ment. 1t is true that was invite d
to Cincinnati about month ago, to read
some statements quietly circulating in
Democratic circles in Washington, in
reference TO Blain's. alleged connection
with some Union Pacific railroad bonos.
1t was SAID the Democrats were holding
back the scandal in order to explode it at
the time of the Cincinnati Convention,
or after it in case Mr.. Blaine was
nominated. The whole charge, as
far as my informant had learned, was
relsted in the presence of four gentle.
men. 1t was agreed that Mr. Blaine
should be confdentally apprised at
once of the nature OF the scandal; any
other course would be wrong. Mr.. Smith
consented to lay the whole matter before
Mr.. Blaine in private letter, and he
did so nearly month ago. If Mr. Blaine
has answered my letter, l have not
heard of it. If any correspondence has
pissed between MIR. Blaine and myself
in regard to the foregoing matter, Mr.
Blaine is at liberty to make it public.

Chicago Railway Pool.

CHICAGO. April l5.-At meeting OF
the managers OF the pool last evening,
the committee appointed TO make a
table of the distances for Eastern rates.
made report which was adopted.
The committee reported that it was un-
able to devise any plan BY which uni.
form rates could be maintained, and
therefore did not recommend any. This
decision was reached 10 consequence Of
the fact that the Grand Trunk railroad
wou d act independently ofthe pool. A
new Classification of the freights was also
arranged, and most of the articles recent
" placed IN aspecial class were put
back in The fourth class. Beyond this no
important changes wero made.
