The last session of the Forty-fourth
Congress convened at Washington to-
day. The election of a speaker to fill
the vacancy created by the death of
Mr.. Kerr, is the FIRST business before
the House of Representatives. The
prominent candidates for the position
are Cox of New York. Sayior of Ohio,
Randall of Pennsylvania and Morrison
of Illinois. 1t is generally believed
that Randall will be elected. He is
now Chairman of the Committee on
Ways aud Means, and has the reputa.
ton of being the ablest parliamenta-
fian in the House. 1t is expected
that the House, immediately after an
organization is effected, will inquire
into the cause of so ,nany troops be-
ing stationed in and around Washing
ton. Much depends upon the action
of the House during the present sess-
ion, and it is to be hoped hat its de
iiberaticns will be governed by wisdom
and moderation.

SHARON TO RESIGN.

The Reno journal is authority for
the assertion that Senator Sharon is to
resign. and that Judge Whitman is the
estate candidate" for the position.
The Journal has heretofore demanded
Sharon's resignation as Senator upon
the ground that he has neither ability
nor disposition to fill the place. The
woodpile organs ridicule the Journal
for thus boldly stating facts which they
do not deny nor attempt to disprove.
Sharon is not success as q Senator,
and fully realizing that fact, he keeps
as far as possible from the Senate
Chamber.

What the Visiting COMMITTEES Say.
New ORLEANS, Dec. /. '76.
To THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATEs:-On our arrival here, in cast
ing about for approaches to the officers
who control the elections in this State.
we discovered that they were all of one
political party, that the Governor had
appointed none but Republican Super
visors of Elections, and that the re-.
turning officers constituting the State
Board were of the same political school
Influenced by these inauspicious sur.
roundlngs, our thoughts and hopes
turned toward the eminent gentlemen
who had been selected by the Presi.
dent to be present and see that the
Board of Canvassers made fair connt
OF the votes actually cast, and on the
l4th Of November we invited these GEN.
tlemen to meet and confer with us.
This cooperation was declined. but.
nevertheless, We have reason to believe
that to this correspondence may be
attributed the invitation to us on the
18th ultimo by the Returning Board 10
attend and be present al its meetings
as spectators and Witnesses of its pro-
ceedings. Through this courtesy and
the services of a competent steno.
grapher we became possessed of all the
essential facts delivered on the face of
the official papers, and we have been
furnished with certified copy of the
duplicate statements of votes made BY
the Commissioners of Election at each
place of voting in the State, and from
these statements it appears that the
Tilden Electors receive the following
votes. viz: McEnery. S3.7I2; wickliff.
80 $50; st. Martin. SO. GIG; Poche. SO.
500; Deblanc, S3667; Zay. $3.50;
Cobb. 80 $40; Cross, 1862; and the
Hayes electors received the following

Electors. as disclosed on the face of
the returns opened by the Returning
Board in our presence: For the Tilden
Electors cEnery, S2,223; st. Mar

$50. Iu most cases the returns opened
by the Returning Board corresponded
precisely with the certified copies of
statements of the Commissioners of
Elections furnished us. The most ma
terial difference arose from the failure
of the Supervisors Of East Baton
Rouge, Taugipahos and Orleans to
forward the statements of votes from
all voting places in their respective
parishes. In tbirty.fve ont of thirty
eight States in the Union these figures
would be conclusive, and no one would
claim that Tilden and Haudricks were
not entitled to the electoral vote of the
State, but in Louisiana tribunal has
been set up which on former occasions
has overthrow the will of the people
as expressed at the polls. for which
the power is now claimed in its discre-
ton TO change the result of the popu-
lar vote at the recent election. In view,
however, of the returns, aud the law
aud facts which should control the Re-
turning Board, with which we have
made ourselves familiar. we have no
hesitation in saying that the result
shown by the votes actually cast can
not be changed without palpable abuse
of the letter and spirit of the law gov
erning the Returning Board. and mani
fest perversion of the facts before it.
Irregularities have been committed in
some instances by officers conducting
elections aud making returns, but they
are about as much on one side as on
the other. As to intimidation. violence
or other illegal meaus, preventing a
free and fair election, there is evil
dence on both sides, but not of such q
character as to affect the general result.
In most instances acts of violence pro-
ceeded from mere lawlessness { as in
the case of Henry and Eliza Pinkton }
aud had 10 connection with politics.
1t is significant fact that in parishes
where it is alleged that voters We're
kept from the polls by intimidation,
the total vote of such parishes was as
large as at any time heretofore and in
the whole State is l 500 above any vote
heretofore cast, and an honest aud fair
canvass of the returns, even under
Louisiana law, cannot materially re-
duce Tilden's majority as shown on
the face Of the returns.
