\ RECENT Washington dispatch says
it seems now to be well settled that the
Democrats will not insist on the count
ing OF Cornin's vote in.the oregon EIec-
toral College. The position which the
more moderate OF them now hold is, that
that the people of Oregon, having voted
for man who was ineligible, the cleo
ton IN his case was void, and Oregon
should not thus be deprived of one of
its Electoral votes. The men who hold
this opinion will, at the same time, in
sist on the right of the HOUSE, either in
conjunction with the Senate or by itself,
to act judiciaIly on the question whether
Cornin's or that of the Republican Elec-
TOR from the same district, or neither,
shall be counted. The best men Of both
parties il Congress are becoming more
and mere convinced that it is the duty
OF everyone who desires to avoid a Sc
slous misunderstanding to do ali in their
power to bring about some compromise
between the two Houses, and TO secure
the adoption of some rule or law which
shall govern those bodies on the second
wednesday OF February.

The Democratic Congressional Com
mittee is likely to fail in Florida, as it
has failed in South Carolina, in finding
any evidence to prove that Hayes has
not lawfully carried the state. One
county, Leon, gave 2,1O0 Republican
majority. They spent week in the il
vestigation of that single county, and
the deeper they probed the more they
found that the rascality and fraud were
fastened upon Democrats rather than
upon Republicans. This was s:agger-
er to the 1ilden magnates from Wash
ington. The Democratic committee is
ccnfining its investigation solely to Re
publican counties, naturally supposing
that in the Democratic counties every
thing was fair and right. Butin Repub-
hcan Leon, they went out for wool, and
came back fearfully shorn.

EDAUNDs' joint resolution, providing

ing the result By lie President OF the

ABE HEWITT has issued short adj
dress to the people Of the United States,
announcing, as the result OF the Presi-
DENTAL election, on the 7th of Novem
Der, the election of Tlden and Hend-
KICKS, and congratulating the people on
the victory for reform" It now,
says Hewitt, only remains for the two
Houses of Congress to carry ort5 the viii
of the people thus expressed. The i'm
pudence of this address is almost sub
lime. Secretary Chandler properly
characterizes it as an impudent and au-
dacious attempt to pervert public judg
ment. Still it will hardly deceive any
one, and is q subject rather for laughter
and ridicule than anything else.

THE Senate Com c1i5tee IL South Car
olina has determined to take testimony
in secret as witnesses are afraid to tes-
tify in public for fear of violence. Tes-
timony was taken on Saturday relative
to the Hamburg massacre, last summer.
This was proper thing to do, as the
public would like to know q little more
about that bloody affair especially as
the chief actor in it isa Democratic can
didate for the United States Senate. 1t
is asserted that it was the opening act in
the campaign which was expected to
elect Hampton. Over a hundred wit
nesses VIII be examined.
