SENATOR CONKLING'S POSITION.

HE Is STATED TO FAVOR TIE ELECTION
on THE ELECTORAL VOTES OF SOUTH
CAROLINA, LOUISIANA AND FLORIDA.
by telegraph to the n. Y. llcrald.l
ALBANY, Dec. u, 1876.
Recent indications shows almost con-
clusively that in the contest about to be
waged in Congress over the Presidential
succession Mr.. Tilden will receive very
strong aid from the action of Senator
Conkling.
1t is believed he will make so strong and
argument against the reception of the
votes of the three Southern States that the
Senate may consent to throw them out.
That, 1t is urged, would give the party
good record, restore peace and, at the
same time, divide the honorS by giving
the republicans the Vice Presidency and
democrats the Presidency. The state
ment that Mr.. Conkling is preparing a
very strong speech upon the matter comes
from so direct source that the truth can
not be doubted.

What the Papers Say offhe Mes
sane.


The y. v Herrh thus disposes of the
document
In the whole Message sent in yester-
day there is hardly n topic of sufficient
dignity or Importance tojustify comment.
So far as the Message is not mere his
tory or recapitutation ofthe official trans
actions Of the last year il is weak and
pointless. The recommendations relate
merely to matters of course or to signifi-
cant details relating to various branches
of administration. 1t is document
which comedies in every line that its au-
thor has no longer any influence on pub
lie measures, and that he eagerly accepts
his approaching release from public cares
and responsibilities No Presidential
M essage was ever composed with SO
small an expense of political thought.
From the Evening Telegraph.
"If this plea is ridiculous when ad-
vanced by President Grants apologists,
it is absurd and unmanly when put for
ward by him in his eighth and last annual
NJ Message as an excuse for his manifold
sins Of commission and commission. No
President who has ever been in the
w hlte House has ever used the power
and perquisites of his office for the ag-
grandizement of peosonal favorites and
relatives to the extent that President
Grant has done.
The sun thus judges the man and his
utterances -
Grants Message to Congress is small.
meagre, and unsatisfactory. OF course,
nobody expected he would show any
comprehension OF the peri1ous political
state OF the country, or anything in the
way of suggestion, or anything in the
line of craftsmanship. There will there
fore, be no disappointment among those
who look through it"
From the y. Y. World.
The opening sentences Of this uniuuc
document put the absolute unttness of
President Grant for the office to which
he has twice been called i'll light which
cannot be less than humiliating to the
Republican partisans whom he rewards
for their devotion by charging upon them
all the dsgraceful appointments of his
administration
From the y. Y. Tines
The \. Y. Times thus deals what il con-
slders the fatal weakness of the Mes
| sage =
For aught that appears in the Mes
sage, the country might be set down as
| IN condition of profound domestic
peace, instead of being, as it is, in a con.
dltion more critical ,than has existed at

Presidents silence to be interpreted .
Has the administration no definite policy
| upon the subjeet-no conviction of right
and duty, pressing for an early and ex,
Piicit utterance? Is it controlled from
day to day by the accidents of the dav,

IliE RETURNING BOARDS have .'count-
ed in Hayes, and there is no doubt that
he is quite ready and willing 10 accept
the results of the swindlc. The votes of
Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina
haye been reversed by the corrupt return
lnS boards in open and brazen defiance of
public opinion. The frauds were not
done a'corner; there was little attempt
at concealment. The carpet-bag rings
nave carried out there abominabe pro-
grammes in the blaze Of light. Many
millions of eyes were focused upon their
deeds; some with calm, clear scrutiny,
some with flashes of indignation. The
man who accepts the results of the filthy
work of these returning boards. is in the
position OF one who knowingly receives
stolen goods.--Baltinaor Gazette.

WASHINGTON, December 9TH Mr..
Hewitt and Mr.. Randolph had an hours
interview with the President tonight.
1t is said by those who know, that the
meeting was pleasant and satisfactory
one. The President was very emphatic
in expressing his belief about Louisiana.
He says that there has not been an hon
est election held there for eight years,
and it is his belief that the last one was
no exception to the rest. He takes the
ground that her electoral vote should not

GRANT AS A WEST POINT SCHoLAH
Just how much Grant learned about the
Constitution and the Government while
at West Point is question that might be
we'll for those who have that school in
charge to consider. His blunders have
been of such frequent occurrence that
people really begin to wonder whether he
ever had any faith in Constitutions and
avs: and whether he has not ever since
ne first entered the Army of the Republic
gone on as mercenary hireling without
ndulglng q single patriotic impulse
Certainly passages in his message lead to
this conclusion.

There can now be hardly a doubt that
the leaders of the Grant and third term
party had arranged a conspiracy by which
the President was to be elected to third
term.
This is evident from the complete pre-
arrangement Of the Returning Boards in
the Southern States. Grant, had he
been the candidate no doubt contem-
plated carrying five or six of these States,
or being counted in by them, just as they
have been counted for Hayes.
The work was to be done by such men
as Morton, Kellogg, Packard, Chamber
lain, Chandler and Cameron. The de-
feat Of Grant in the nomination inter
rupted the scheme somewhat so far as the
President was concerned. But it has
not been wholly given up; and will be
played to the end if the people do not
denounce it openly and boldly
If allowed to succeed, and the ma
chimes called Returning Boards are al
