WAsuINGToN, Dec. 4. The Republican
members Of the Senate to-day held a long cau-
Gus, at whicn n prospect Of political g. Il lirs in
the South was generally discussed. but no con-
clusion was reached. 1t seems to he the general
disposition Of Republicans in the Senate not TO
take any formal action In the WY Il appointing
committees to Investigate until further develop
ments are made In the states Of South Ciro-
liua Florida, and Louisiana. The resolu-
ton Of Senator Elmunds, empowering
the Committee on Privileges aud Elec-
tiOns to Investigate alleged frauds and
intimdattons IN the States of Georgi Missis-
sippt, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and South
contesting the electoral votes from the nrst
three named states N the Democrats throw out
Louisiana Florida. and South Carolina. In case
au investigatiOn tnto the elections Of the last
named States results in throwing them out of
the Electoral College. an effort will be made TO
throw the other named States out, thus secur-
Ing the election OF Hayes. The whole subject
was discussed In the caucus, and such action
was deemed necessary to forestail the rrob BILE
action Of the d. smocratic House with reference
TO the States OF Louisiana. Florida, and South
Carolina.
The plnn of the Republican leaders. think, is
pretty clearly indicated 10y few hints which
thcV have thrown out. They Will insist upon
South Carolina for HAYES; bur II they are COM

HaYEs's HONEST OPINION.

Elected President.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 1.-Two prominent cit
liens OF this place returned tonight from CO.
lumbus. the home OF Gov. Hayes, where they
had an interview with f. W. Merrlck. lawyer, OF
thit oty. Mr.. Merrick said To them
that at Thanksgiving dinner at the home
OF Gov. Hayes. the Governor said that he be-
lieved that Tilden was honestly elected Presi-
dent and that II he was borne out In his CON
vlctions he would under no considerations ao-
cept the ONCE " declared elected. The conver-
sation was brought on by remarks of Mrs. Gen.
Nitchel niece Of Gov. Hayes, who said to the
Governor that she hoped her husband,
Gen. Mitchell. would be successful IN his pres
ent mission to Washington. and bring about a
settlement OF the question which was proving
such n source Of trouble both to the Gov rnur
aud his family and to the coui trv at large. To
this the Governor replied as above, saving that no
bell we'd lilden W honestly elected President.
and tnat under this conviction he should post
tivoly decline to accept II declared elected. Mr.
Merrick not only rehffirmed the truth OF tho
st tement. but offered to make AFFIDAVIT to the
facts contained therein.
Senator sherman, Il. w. Stoughton. and Eu-
gene Hale have returned from the South, and
have been closeted with Gov. HAYES ia Column
bus all the afternoon. Nothing positive is
known as to their plan OF operation.

The Presidents Opinion on the Effect Of
Throwing Out Loui-iaua's Vote.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Although the
Preside I in his conversation with Mr.. Hewitt
particularly disclaimed any Intention to express
an opinion on the result in Louisiana, II is eyi-
dent that be holds that there was Ut fair cleo
ton there.
According to Mr.. Hewitt's card TO the editor
Of the Evening Post, the principal topic OF con-
versltion between the President and him
self was. " hat will be the result II the vote Of
Louisiana 10 not counted?' MIR. Hewitt and
the President were not assuming mere hypoth-
esls for the sake Of having a discussion. The
whole conversation was OF too grave "A character
to permit the belief that the President sug-
gested tnat there had not been lair election In
Louisiana merely for the sake Of argument.
1t Is well-knOwn fact here that Grant Ia In
entire accord with The leaders of his party, and
that be really took care OF Florida, Louisiana,
and South Carolina after the Repul lican NJ
tional Campais u Committee had virtually given
them up. II Is, II oreover. evident from Mt.
HeNitt's card to the EreHtng Post that Grant and
himself differed as TO what the result
would be In the event OF the
vote Of Louisiana being thrown out. 1t is known
that the President he d that this would necessi-
tate an election by the House, or at least that
Mr. lilden would not be elected by discarding
Of the Constitution is that the Successful candi-
date must receive ajorlty Of all tine electoral
votes. Mr.. Hewitt evidently held that he must
receive m t1rity OF the electors legally ap-
pointed. He has published the following
