In the House on Tuesday, MIR. Plaisted, of
Maine, declared that he voted in the negative
on MIR. Hewitt's resolution to appoint COM
mittees to investigate the elections in the
Southern States Speaker Randall decided
that he had right 10 have his vote corrected.
This would have defeated the resolution, in
asmuch as it would not then have had the
requisite two Thirds in favor of it, but anoih
err member arose. and stated he had voted for

The Electoral Colleges.

The Electoral Colleges met ON Wednesday,
but their action, it appears, did not do much
towards clearing up the middle. The 1874
votes conceded to Tilden and Hendricks were
duly cast for them. In addition 10 these
they received one vote in Oregon, the Gov
crnor of that State having issued certificates
to two Republicans and one Democrat
The Republican electors refused to recognize
the Democratic eector and cast three votes
for Hayes and Wheeler. The Democratic
eector then declared vacancy and elected
two Republicans, who cast two votes for
Hayes and Wheeler, the Democrat casting
his vote for Tilden and Hendricks,
The Democratic electors in Louisiana ard
South Carolina, met and cast their votes for
Tilden and Hendricks. The Republican
electors in those States also met and voted
tor Hayes and Wheeler.
The situation then is this: 1S5 votes from
electors duly commissioned by recognized
lawful authority in the several States were
cast for Tlden, and 1915 votes for Hayes
There are contesting electors from Louisiana,
South Carolina and Oregon.
The result of the matter will most pro.
badly he that the House will, under the Con
-litution. elect Tilden President AMI Tie
Senate elect Wheeler Vice-Presdcnt.

in most decided terms as opposed to the en-
