TheDssputed Election.

BosroN, November 15.-In the City
Council tonight the matter OF the dis.
puted election for Congressman In the Sd
District came up, on the question as 10
the 90 votes for Field (Repub.
lican) on which were printed the words

that in the certificate to the Secretary Of

cluded in the count, with an explanation
relative to the 25, leaving the Governor

case Of an adverse decision he should not
contest the seat in Congress.

Opening OF the Alabama Legls.
lnture.

MONTGOMERY, Nov. 15.-The Senate
elected R. W. Cobb, President, and the
House elected N. N. Clements, Speaker.
Both have served two terms in their re.
spective Houses.
Governor Houstons message calls
special attention to the standing Of the
State obligations, which sold at 90 to 70
cents on the dollar when he went into
office in 1874, and command 92 to 93. The
Governor attributes this to the confidence
the people have In their own government.
The penitentiary is now "a source OF
revenue to the State. Immigration Is
tending to Alabama, and the State Is to be
congratulated. The public schools are
prosperous and increasing in usefulness.
The Gorernor congratulates the people
OF Alabama and the country upon the
election OF Tilden and Hendricks, which
he says has been achieved without blood
or violence or force, and has covered the
patriotic people Of the United States with
never.fading and imperishable honor.

the Northern States, and the recent dis
patch OF Governor elect Rice, Of Aassa.
chusetts, shows that the North would
respond in the sameIIway that they
did in 1861. a-
Let us remember two things. First,
Hayes has large majority Of the North.
ern vote. Next, tens Of Thousands Of Re-
publicans voted for Mr.. Tilden who
would be hot for Hayes after tho latter
became the rightful President elect BY
the votes Of the three disputed States.
The North would be more united than in
1851. The Northern people do not be.
lieve in secession, rebellion, or insub-
ordination Of any kind to the result Of an
election. They would say to the Demo-
cratic traitors who are now trying to SOW
the seeds Of . new rebellion, as General
Jackson said to Calhouns followers in
1882, "by the Eternal you shall submit"
They would say this, too, with such en-
phasis that the traitors would soon un-
derstand that there was no hope for sue
cessful resistance.
As regards the South, that section
would be very differently situated as COM
pared with 1861. The negro ia very
different creature from what he. was 10
years ago. He would no longer stay at
home and raise crops and take care Of the
families OF the rebels in arms as he once
did. He would rise..in his strength and
become at once the efficient ally OF the
government in the South. That section
OF the country would have an enemy at
their own doors that they would be COM
PEELED to look after to the exclusion Of all
others. No foes would be more easily ham
died than the South with the whole colored
race opposed to them. This situation Of
itself, saying nothing OF their broken
down financial condition, would forbid
their rising in rebellion against the Gov
ernment.
How loolish--and worse than foolish
then, is this talk Of resistance TO the
Inauguration Of Hayes rs President OF
the United States in case he is elected nc.
cording to the laws that govern elections
in Florida, South Carolina and Louisi.
ana. Respect for law Is the frat neces.
sity OF a free people. Anything else is
anarchy and destruction.

Nothing whatever has been made
known about the investigation into the
conduct Of the Spanish commander and
officers who capitulated at Los Tumas.
The following Catholic priests here /:
Father 0rteaga, E. de Los Santos, Miguel
de Los Santos and Barnabo, Cubans by
birth, have received intimation from the
Government to resign. Failing to do
this, II Is said, they will be iorcibly
deposed. The reasons assigned are: they
preached sermons coyertly hostile to the
Spanish cause, and emitting to allude TO
Spain during sermons commemorative Of
the Virgin De Dilor, patroness Of Sara
gossa, in Spain. For this latter ofenSe,
another priest, Father Diolo, Is under
Judgment, and also for having alluded in
a speech in the college to Jose De La Luz

follow In the footsteps Of that deiunct

The Interest In the Presidential
Question.

Mr.. HIS. White, OF Marshall county,
tells us that the absorbing topic Of inter
est among the people in the country is
the Presidential question. It takes pre-
cedence over all other considerations
even business. People come to the rail
road from points several miles back regu-
larly every day to hear the news, and the
Wheeling papers are looked for with the
utmost eagerness and anxiutyt
The same condition Of the public mind
prevails all over the country. There
never was time when business every
where was SO neglected on account OF
politics as just now. In city, village and
country there is a feverish desire to hear
and discuss the latest phase Of the Presi'
dental question. The excitement prior
to the election was as nothing compared
with the present deep feeling in regard to
the final result. The New York Her
aid, Of Tuesday, speaking Of this state
Of the public mind, says that
"The people are to-day like swarm OF
bees which has lost It's queen. The
doubts, fears and anxieties which dis.
turb US are enormously costly. Wecould
pay fair slice OF the national debt with
what the country will'have lost through
the excitement Of the last week anil the
week or ten days which must yet elapse
before we can hope for definite settle
ment Of the Presidential question"

That Vermont EIector.

WASHINGTON, November 15.-The eli
gibility Of the Vermont postmaster, elect.
ed U. s. Elector, remains the topic oi
discussion. Letters have been sent from
the Department Of Justice to proper ju.
dicial authorities in Vermont the princi.
pal object Of which seems to be to learn
every legislative or judicial act bearing
upon cases with any similarity to that
now existing. Judge Taft has been ap.
preached for opinions but the Attorney
General has been careful to make no ex-
preston Of his views. He Is particular
with regard to being quoted on tho mat.
ter. In the careful construction OF con-
versations held with the Attorney Cen
eral, they lead to the belief that he holds
that where one elector, ineligible, was
elected such circumstance does not
elect the opposing elector. .

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS.
The House Committee on Appropria-
tions has been called by It's Chairman to
meet on the 22d inst. The estimates for
the diplomatic and consular service will
slightly exceed 81 100000. This is $780,.
900 in excess Of the amount appropriated
for the present fiscal year, and nearly
$3.50, 900 less than the estimates last year.
The estimates for all expenses Of the
Government, with the exception Of pen.
sions, are larger than the appropriations
OF the present year. Inc pension ehtl-
mates are $2S, ,533, 500, a million less than
the amount appropriated for the present
year. A considerable annual reduction
in the pension lists may now be counted
upon. The Indian and army estimates
are much larger than the appropriations
granted at the last session for the current
fiscal year, but the postofice estimates
promise to be nearly the same.

FLORIDA.

MI. G. D. Brigham 70 the Cincinnati Commercial
JACKSONVILLE, November Il, 10 p. u.
The country should not be impatient
for the declared result in Florida. The
State Canyassers meet about twenty-five
days from now, and may adjourn from
time to time, so that It may not be much
before January when the result 10 de-
clared. The Board has Judicial as well
as administrative powers. II may go to
the bottom Of oieyerything, and will prcba-
bly, do so wherever there is good ground
to suspect irregularity. Republicans in
vite the closest scrutiny and the
Democrats fear IL. They begin to show
signs Of weakening. They are poor
figurers, continually declaring themselves
elected, and appear not to have found
out that Hayes is from 600 to 800 ahead
OF stearns, for Governor. To-day, by
their own showing they defeat themselves.
Tho time for completing the county can.
vases has expired, and the Oticialrs
turns are all coming in. Generally the
the changes are in favor OF Hayes, and the
Tilden column has fallen Of. Under the
circumstances, this Is an alarming indi-
cation to the Reiormers, who perceive no
way to salvation but through further
frauds. They are threatening tho, State
with a desperate purpose, but the Repub.
licans are In no manner alarmed; in fact,
like Grant, they don't scare worth a cent.
A party Of them left here to-day for Tai
lahassee, which is to be the seat Of oper-
ations for western counties and which has
become point Of interest. There are
some things which doubtless would be Of
interest to the country at large, but
probably It were better to refrain from
partieulaririuS for the present, II may
be said, however, that the cause Ia in
good hands and will not suffer.
