131 votes in all. 1t requires 49,
votes to make a majority, 50 tina.
the Democracy will need "a votel
more than they already have assured
to them" The only two candi
dates the Republican thinks likely
to bring the 81 votes to the Demo.
cracy are Tilden and Parker, and Of
the two it considers Tilden the
stronger. 1t may be stated, how
ever, that the Republican is an
earnest advocate of Tilden.

The main secret Of Macaulay' success
lay in this, that to extraordinary huency
and faeiliey, he united patient, minute
and persistent diligence. If bis method
Of composition ever comes into fashion,
books probably will be better, and. un-
doubtedly, will be shorter. As seon as
he got into his head all the information
relating 70 the particular episode in his
history, he would sit down and write off
the whole story at a headIong pace;
Stretching in the outlines under the re.
NAL and audscious impulse Of q 6rst
conception; and securing in black and
white each idea, and epithet, and turn Of
phase, as it flowed straight from his busy
brain TO his rapid fingers. His manu-
script at this stage, to the eyes Of any
one but himself, appeared to consist Of
column after column Of dashes and
hOurishes, ia which a straight line, with
a halfformed letter at each end and
another in the middle, did duty for a
word. AS soon IS he had finished his
first draft, he began TO fll it at the rate
OF SIX sides Of foolscap every morning,

trouble he devoted 10 matters which most
authors are only too glad to leave 10 the
care and experience Of their publisher.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The sub.Judi
ciary committee met this morning at II
o'clock, but through a misunderstanding
about the hear Of meeting neither Blaine
nor Frye we're present and the commit
tee adjourned till tomorrow.
The Committee on Expenditures in
the War Department to-day continued
the investigation into the charge against
Speaker Kerr. Mary 7. Murray testified
that she had resided on Capitol Hill
since 1865, aud kept boarders there in
December, 1865; Lawrence Harvey hired
a oom at her house in 1866 he also had
a room there with his wife, and both
took their meals there.
Mr.. Dantord raised a point asto how tar
the committee would 60 into this part OF
the matter, taking the ground that the
witness could not be contradicted on an
immaterial or collateral question. Mr.,
Elliott, counsel for Mr.. Kerr, replied,
taking the ground that it was competent
to show by the antecedents of the wit
ness that he was not a competent wit
ness, Mr.. Blackburn said that if Har-
ney had deliberately sworn falsely as to
his married life the committee was enti-
tied TO know whether such was the fact
Mr.. Danford repeated his objection and
asked whether this committee was not
bound by the same rules that a court
would enforce, and whether the witness
would not be entitled to protection.
Mr.. Blackburn said the committee
was not bound by the strict technical
rules hat govern courts. The question
was as to the date Of Harney's marriage,
and if it could be shown that he had
perjured himself it would impeach his
credibility as a witness.
Mr.. Elliott referred to the testimony
taken on the I'd inst, in which Harvey
said he was married in July, 1867, to
Annie Pryor, and that he had no
wife when he was here as Assistant
Doorkeeper. Mr.. Elliott quoted Judge
Storey to show that if a witness does not
testify correctly in relation to a fact
about which he could not be mistaken,
he is not entitled to credence.
Mr.. Clymer also took the ground that
it was competent to pursue the question
SC as to show the character of the nan,
for if Harvey was not married at the
time he boarded with Mrs. Mary T.
Murray, he lived in adulterous in.
~tercourse with the woman there. Mr..
Clymer asked the question Of Mrs.
Murray: did you have any doubt
whether the woman who lived with Har-
ney at your house was his wife?'
She answered: II would not have
boarded them if had thought they
we're not married, and if | had found out
they had deceived me | would have got
rid of item. l keep a respectable board
i~ng.house and would not have boarded a
and woman who were not married

GOvERNoR TIIDEE.

The manifest absurdity and un.
fairness of holding Governor Til
den responsible for the action o
Bates and Locke is %reacting upon
those who denounced him so fierce
ly. 1t is possible that Governor
Tilden has indiscreet partisans who
would resort to such means Of
reaching the public, but it is not al
all settled that the money does not
come from the Republican side.
Those who have been most denun-
ciatory always take pains to men
ton the fact that Governor Tilden
wants to be President, and has five
million dollars. The insinuation is
meaner than a direct charge. We
like to see fair play even in politics.
Governor Tilden has stated that he
knows nothing about this business
whatever, and that it has not been
done by any of his personal friends.
Messrs. Bates & Locke state that
the offer was authorized by a num-
Der Of responsible gentlemen,
but decline to say who or
of what party. If the money
is furnished by partisan friends
unknown to Mr.. Tilden they would
be likely to come out and shield
him from implication. If it came
from Republicans, of course it is to
their interest to keep quiet a few
weeks, knowing that it may do him
harm, and that Bates & Locke will
keep mum. 1t seems singular that
while some papers North and South
have so much to say about the mat
ter that they utter no word of pro-
test or censure at the extraordinary
means employed to advance Mr..
Blaine. The Gilmore bureau of
correspondence at Washington does
not stop at delicate compliments, as
Boyle does for his supposed favor
lite, but is openly and boldly for
Blaine against the field. Blaine
may not furish the funds or have
anything to do with it, as he has
been explaining before a committee
all summer, but as he is on the
ground it is highly probable that he
is better posted than Governor Til
den is about the private business of
Bates & Locke. Speaking of this
subject, the Courier Journal says:
We state by authority hat neither
Governor Tilden, nor his responsible
friends, are in any way accountable for
the advertisements sent out through the
agency of Messrs. Bates & Locke, Of Park
Row, New York. There was no more

commonly attaches to the electioneer.
