WASHINGTON, Dec 10, 1876.
HOW Mr. HAYES IS TO BE DECLARED ELECTED
AND INAUGURATED- THE HOUSE PowERLEss
TO PREVENT IT-vIEws OF THE EXTREME
REPUBLICANS AND OF THE MORE MODERATE.
Hero is one republican Wow OF the political situa-
ton.-
'Thc Oregon amounts to nothing 1t easy to
arrange that tho Vice President shall open only the
republican returns, and he declares them In proper
orm objection will be entertained. In this way
he question of tho regularity OF returns will not
lp AT al! IN the JOINT convention. The electoral
nrns will, therefore, show Governor Hayes chosen,
md that business Will last long. The
democrats may protest, but what good
will do themY They may possibly
90 on to declare Mr. Tiden elected by the House, but
81 what will that be to thcms Governor Hayes,
being declared elected, VIII hero and be inau-
Euraled tho 4th OF March. Who prevent that?
Certainly not tho present House, that will cease 10
sxst at the close OF the Sd OF March; its members un-
less they have been reelected will be private citizens
before the hour arrives for the inauguration OF the
President; they will have, BODY indl-
viduals, rights to the floor OF the House which
private citizen has rot Nor is this all Not only Will
the, present House be tuncus oDicio, but the
Monday in next December unless the next President
summons It; II is very doubtful II Mr.. Tilden,
ven il he should be silly TO allow somebody to
acclarc him President, would want T. summon tho
House, for it has, probably, slight republican
majority. and It II should prove have a small
democratic majority, there will undoubtedly be men,
bers OF that side who will not encourage revolutionary
uoasensc You sec therefore, that neil her this House
the next has any real power in the matter.
Tho present House Will expire before tho timc
arrives to inauguratc either Governor Hayes Mr..
Iilden II it should oner to hold 1t would CON-
NIT revolutionary act, and the police woad properly
arrest the who engaged in such folly. Tho next
House could not 30 summoned in any until tho
new President naugnrated UNTIL that is to say,
The emergency for which some democrats are said to
desire its presence is past Tho Ith OF March
ally a cold and clustering day II Mr.. Tilden should
appear here and attempt to make an address from the
Capitol be would have very uncomfortable time and
would probably catch bad cold, and that is ALL
suppose the democrats in the House do refuse to
some the Senate meet in joint convention,
80 you not that they violating the law The
original practice Tor the Rouse to meet In the SEN
ate Chamber, and it thus met for the nrst second,
fourth and dith counts There danger OF popular
umu for the Senate has right TO close the galleries,
it ordered IN the count OF 1901 In my opinion
Hayes elected That is what the President believes,
snd going to inaugurate him II he proves
Tho 14lh of February to have 1S5 votes The
Southern committees will not be able to
show any why this should not be done As to
what the democrats dc about It, what they do?
We mean to move only by constitutional and legal
methods It's all fudge about General Grant holding
over; he don't hold over, but he to put
Hayes in the White House and then his duty will be
doac There is going to be no occasion for democrats
stirring up riots anywhere and, If they did SO, they
would only put themselves in the wrong. AS to the
elections they will Lake of themselves II
Hayes is a satisfactory Utssdent the country will be
content; II he is thon the democrats Will have
thcir chance and they may make the most or it'
These arc the views, frankly expressed of the ex-
trcme republican managers, and there Is reason 10
believe that they mean what they say. Blu; there
other views also; there men on that side who do
not wish carry matters with SO high hand. These
waiting for the return OF the southern committees
hoping that the reports Of these viii yet bring
TO satisfactory conclusion, by showing either that
Hayes entitled to the of all three OF dis
putcd States that he is not The democrats also
wait Their leading men believe that sound policy
lor them to remain quiet and let the republican
ayers go on feeling pretty that somewhere they
will blunder.
The democrats do not to defend the Oregon
matter; they will let their opponents worry It
Meantime Mr. McCrary, republican and able man,
has his resolution before the House judiciary CON-
mittce looking joint committee to devise a clear
way out Of the muddle. The committee VIII report
this fsvoraby probably on Tuesday, and this will put
the responsibility the republican Senate OF refusing
what is obviously proper and necessary moas-
urc II remains to be what they Will
Go; but II they should refuse evadc they
viii strengthen already growing mpatience aud
Ia for .tsrou
who privately say that to Mr. Hayes in under pres
cnt circumstances Is condemn themselves to defeat
and dissiaco by the country in the next elections and
they not content to do so.
II is probable that the democrats VIII refuse
any adjournment for tho holidays. many OF them bc-
levng Il necessary to session to watch the
Presidents movements IN the South.
