A Herald Washington special saws:
There Is mo- longer any fears of a tu

the galleries, and it is so ordered as i'm
the u Of 1871. In my opinion
Hayes Is elected; that is what the

18th OF February to have 1855 votes.
The Southern Committees will not be
able to show any cause why it should
not be done. AS to what the Demo-
Gratis can do abont it -what can they

stitutional aud legal methods. 1t l. all
fudge about Gen. Grant holding over.
He don't want to hold over, but he
means to put Hayes in the White
House, and then his duty. will be done.
There Is going to be- no occasion for
the Democrats stirring up riots any
where, and if they did so, they would
put themselves in the wrong. Az to
the next elections. they will take care
of themselves. II Hayes IS a satistac-
tory President the country will be con-
tent; if he is not, then the Democrats
will have their chance, and they will
make the most of It..
These are the views, frankly ex-
pressed, OF the extreme Republican
managers, and there is reason to be-
lieve that they mean what they say,
but there are other views also. There
are men on Il at side who do not wish
to carry matters with so high a hand.
The Democrats do not mean to de.
fend the Oregon matter. but they will
let their opponents worry over il.
II is now probable that the Demo-
Gratis will refuse TO adjourn for the
holidays, many OF them believing 1t
necessary to- remain in session to
watch the Presidents movements in
the South.

LETTER FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

1t was thought that latter the cleo

that the chief manipulators would fix
up IA little deal for the boys before the

otherwise. The present unsettled con

POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE.

Our dispatches this morning possess
a reasonable share Of interest. On the
face Of the advicesi honors are about
equal between the presidential race
horses. A Herald special from Wash
ington says President Grant believes
Hayes Is elected and he intends to see
to it that lie is ~inaugurated. That is Il
heat for Hayes. A Tribune special
from the same burg says. inasmuch as
the Senate, by an overwhelming ma
jority, has decided that the celebrated
twenty-secoud joint rule is no longer
in existence, Vice President Ferry will,
when the time arrives, proceed to
open the certificates and declare the
result without debate or motion. This
is a heat for Tilden, and il the position
OF matters and things is correctly tele-
grarhed, it also gives him the race.
1t is probably best, however, to accept
all political advices just now from be-
You'd The Rocky mountains with much
allowance. The country being on the
tiptoe of expectation regarding the sit
uation, we'll regulated special GORE
spondents of sensational journals feel
justified in giving their vivid magma
tons full sway. Hence, y uch of what
we read to-day may be contradicted to
morrow.

The business Of the Silver Commits

nothing further on the silver question

scarcely a hope that anything will be

GOVERNOR HAYES IN a NEW
LIGHT.

IC tNC" LLSfNtN BupltofS"
what purports to be an interview had
with Governor Hayes, bearing upon
his course towards the South in the
event OF his election. The statement
strikes US as hardly worthy OF Gre
dence. and yet we have seen no ontra
diclion of it by either Governor Hayes
or his friends. The story, ii true, is
most remarkable. Governor Hayes
promising that he is elected to the pres
idency, upsets the whole policy of his
party and his predecessor at q single
blow. He goes even further than this,
and says that no person who has been
prominently concerned in the Ad-
ministration of President Grant, in
Washington or elsewhere, shall have
any Office OF power under his ad minis
Tilden wouldn't make a cleaner sweep.
But here is the precise language which
is attributed to him by n who claims
TO be ''close up" in his confidence, as
detailed in the Herald:
WHAT 0ovERNoR HAYES SAID.
He said to Mr.. Roberts that he
wished Mr.. Leinar and also General
Hampton and other Southern men like
them to know and 10 be assured that
he believed himself fairly elected to
the presidency; that he meant to be
President, and to be his " man and
have his own policy; that no person
who had been prominently concerned
in the administration of General Grant,
whether in Washington or elsewhere,
should have any office or power under
his administration. He thought re
form absolutely necessary, and impos-
sible except by calling in new men
and dropping the men now in power
and place. About this he spoke, as it
is known he feels, very positively.
HAYES SOUTHERN POLICY.
AS to the South the Governor said
that he desired TO consult with such
mon as Mr.. Lamar and General
Hampton; that he thought Hampton
had acted a noble Part in recent events
in South Carolina, for which the coun-
try owed him thanks; that if he be-
came President he should wish to call
Mr.. Lamar into his Cabinet, and
should not ask him, in that
event. to abandon his present polit.
zeal relations; that he meant to frame
his Southern policy on the advice
of these two gentlemen; to make the
Federal appointments in the Southern
states upon their recommendations,
and entirely of Southern men, consid-
ering this the only proper disposition
of these offices. He said, frankly, that
carpet-bag government had not been
successful; that the complaints OF the
Southern people were just in this mat
ter; that he should require absolute
justice and fair play to the negro, but
that he was convinced this could be
got best and most surely by trusting
the honorable and influential South
ern whites aud putting the RESPONSE.

and furnishing outrages.

SILVIA silly story has been tele-
graphed all over the country to the
effect that Governor Hayes will with
draw from the contest in order that the
Republican electoral votes may be-
given to President Grant. The reason
assigned isthat Grant, being at the head
of the army, would have no trouble in
reinaugurating himself. Bah! To
talk about the army In such a connec-
ton is enough to set the blood of everv
true American to Sizing. But the
whole yarn is of course b~alderdash-
the quintessence Of thinness.

SENATOR JoNEs.-There is a gentle
man in this town who firmly believes
that Senator Jones, following the ex-
ample of C~onkling, will go over to the
standard of Tilden. He arrives at this
conclusion on the grounds that these
Senator'S are the most devoted personal
and political friends and are accus.
on all important questions. To our
mind, it matters but little who goes
over to Tilden; accessions from the
outside won't save his bacon. 1t is
votes that he wants.
