Wedding Fees.

ga bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush." Therefore, 1t is better for
ministers to take the fee at the time oi
the wedding than to wait for conven-
lent season.
A certain clergyman to this day bears
a grudge against New Jersey because a
Jerseyman, after his wedding, asked II
he should pay at the time or settle when
he came for the certificate. The modest
minister said, ooh, when you come for
the certificate" And that man has
never come yet!
On on} occasion a clergyman, after
pronouncing the benedlctiun upon the
kueeling couple before him, put forth his
nand to congratulate the young husband
when he, with an indignant, Injured air,
waved his hand away, saying, at the
same time
"IVs all right, sir; the first grooms.
man will attend to that."
The same minister has another story
of an old uncle, who brought his niece
to the rectory on cold, rainy day, to bt
married, and who, after the ceremony
was over, fumbled about for a twc.dol

The Electoral nuddlc.


Omaha, Dec. 2.-The Democratic
electors to-day presented a petition to
Judge Savage, of the District court,
which prays that perpetual injunction
be granted to restrain the Republican
electors from meeting and casting their
votes for President. The petition states
that Cobb, Republican elector, is in
eligible, being disbursing officer of the
United States in const,- ,-uctlng the post
office at Lincoln; that the governor,
secretary of state and attol rey general
conspired to eyade and defeat the laws
of the state, as they issued or ,>slised
to be issued to county clerks 81
velopes with the address of the secre-
tary of state thereon, to transmit to
him statements of the number of Votes
cast They also allege that the COVER
nor, to carry out said fraudulent de-
sign, notified the Republican electors
that they We're elected.
The court ordered hearing of the
case ON Monday, Dec. 4th. 1t is
thought quorum will not answer the
governors call for a special session of
the legislalature. The excitement is
great over this matter
Chicago, Dec. p The Tribune
Omaha special says the only serious
aspect Of the case is that Cobb
holds federal Office The legislature
must provide for it, and it requires
a two-thirds vote to enact law taking
immediate effect.

LOUISIANA.
A Foregone Conclusion.


New Orleans, Dec. mo one in
New Orleans seems to have changed
his opinion in the last two weeks in re-
gard to what the report of the board
will be. Republicans and Democrats
alike expect the return of Hayes and
Packard, the only question being the
size of the majorities and which polls
shall be rejected in order to bring about
this result. Republicans think the evil
dence of intimidation ample to exclude
almost every poll in the five bull-dozed
parishes, and in some others, but it is
probable that those in the large towns
of those parishes where United States
troops were stationed, and where col
ored people voted the Republican ticket
in the greatest numbers, will be count
ed on the ground that the election at
these points was in some degree free.
This will be more favorable for Hayes
and Packard than the rejection Of the
vote of those five parishes altogether,
since they will then have some majority
in each. Democrats say that even
when this is done, Tilden and Nichols
will be ahead, and to get a reduced ma
jority, polls in New Orleans will be
thrown out. 1t would be hard to find
a person in this city of either party
who would not be astonished if the
board should officially return either
Tilden or Nichols.
The Returning Board.
There was much talk about the city
last night in regard to feud in the re-
turning board, and rumors were afloat
that the two colored members were
likely to disagree with Wells and Ander-
son on the final decision. 1t is certain
that some prominent colored men in
New Orleans are dissatisfied with the
manner in which Cazanave and Kenner
have been treated when any questions
have arisen. Wells and Anderson have
almost invariably announced the de-
cision of the board without consulting
the colored members, and in very few
cases have matters been formally SUBJ
mitted to vote. This treatment of
the colored members has caused some
hard feeling. Another report is that
large sum of money has been offered to
the members of the board to count in
Democrats, but this report cannot be
traced to any responsible source.
The Very Latest.
Only the Democratic committee was
present at the session of the returning
board to-day except Senator Sherman.
Both sides filed much written evidence
in the contested cases. The Democrats
protested against the manner of the
committee in opening returns and
against receiving protests except those
enclosed in the supervisors returns.
Since the returning board ceased
taking evidence it has been in consulta-
tion and probably will not reach de-
cision before Monday.
A few Of the most prominent visiting
Republicans still remain. They will un-
doubtedly soon make report of their
observations to the President, which
the country may rely on as being based
on the closest, most impartial and re-
liable personal observation. The Dem
ocrats will remain until after the board
its decision.

~" t'"'"oot"y L'"tt't-
Tallahassee. Dec. 2.-The day was
taken up mostly by final testimony be-
fore the board. Each side filed specifi-
cations of the contest in several conn-
ties, and made replication 10 the
charges on certain other counties. Only
one new or notable point was raised,
being in Manatee county, where the
clerk, by law the registering officer,
resigned week or so before election.
The governor accepted his resignation
at once, and the county was thus left
without a clerk. Some citizens at
tempted to register with the deputy
clerk, who declined to receive their
names. A new clerk was appointed by
telegraph, but for reasons stated differ
emily by each side, did not qualify be-
fore election was over. The election
was held, however, the registry list of
last year being used, and each voter
taking the usual registry oath before
justice of the peace, who officiated in
place of the clerk. The Republicans
ask that the county be thrown out, as
the election was irregular. and as their
voters in the county believing an cleo
tion would not be held without a clerk,
did not go to the polls. The Democrats
ask that it be counted, as these voters
exhausted their resources in trying to
vote lawfully, and recited that hun
dred voters were kept from voting, as
only those on the registry list of former
years felt it their right to vote. The
county is almost wholly Democratic.
The Democratic managers to-day raised
point as to the eligibility of Hum
phreys, a Republican candidate for
election, appointed shipping master at
Pensacola, and holding that office when
the election occurred. The arguments
of the two contestants will be laid be-
fore the board on Monday.
The Latest
Official returns from Dade county
arrived to-day and were announced by
the chairman of the board as showing
nine votes for Hayes to five for Tilden,
making the total majority for the Re-
publican ticket in the whole state AZ,
on the face of the returns. One pre-
cinct in Dade county was thrown out
by the county canvassers for irregular
ity, but it gave Tilden only 8 majority.

PRESIDENT GRANT.
His Confidence Unshaken.

Washington, Dec. 2.-In an inter-
view to-day President Grant said he
didn't apprehend any difficulty over the
Presidential question. He thinks Hayes
is undoubtedly elected by the electoral
vote of South Carolina and Florida,
and perhaps of Louisiana, but about
the latter state he thinks there may be
some doubt on account Of so many COM
plications surrounding the work of
the returning board, but the eminent
gentlemen Of both parties who have
been witnesses Of the operations of the
board, he thinks, ought to be able to
agree on verdict that will satisfy both
parties throughout the country.

NIGHT REPORT.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Status of affairs.

Columbia, Dec. 2-3p D. ma motion
was made to-day in the Supreme court
on behalf of Wallace, speaker of the
Democratic house, for mandamus on
Mackey, speaker of the Republican
house, to compel him to deliver the re-
turns for governor in Mackey's posses
sion to Wallace, as legal speaker of the
legal house; also, a motion for a writ
of quo warranto on the Hayes electors.
Both cases are to be heard Monday.
Mackey, in the house this evening,
told Wallace he intended to remove
the Edgefeld delegation with con-
stables.
Wallace said the house was the only
conservator of its own order, and could
not legally be interfered with by con-
stables or any outside force, and that
he would resist them with all the power
at his command, and would yield only
to Federal troops under Ruger.
Columbia, Dec. 2-4:30 p. m.-Two
Republicans (colored), named Myers
and Hamilton, have just deserted the
Republican side and been sworn in by
the Democratic speaker. Both houses
are still in session. The senate has ad-
journed till Monday.
The Republicans tonight seated four
new members from Abbeyville county.
No protests or contests were heard.
The Democratic members with certif-
Gates of election from the board of can
vassers were in the hall.
General Ruger will, it is said, receive

get it. 1t is expected that they will do
SO and that they will canvass the state
vote, declare Hampton governor, and
choose Democratic senator.

WASHING TON.


Washington, Dec. 2.-There was II
sholt session of the cabinet this morn
ing at which all the members were
present except Secretaries Fish and
Robson. 1t is understood that later
official reports from General Ruger
were read by the Secretary of War, and
it was believed that there was no neces-
sity for any additional official action by
the government at present, and the
meeting adjourned.
An Unfo,mded R,tmor.
An unfounded rumor that Secretary
Fish had resigned caused great excite
ment last night, the reason assigned
being the difference of opinion in cabi-
net on the South Carolina question. 1t
is understood that Secretaries Fish,
Morrill, and Taft are not in full accord
with Chandler and Cameron on the
question. There is reason to believe
that troops will enly be used to keep the
peace, and will not eject members.
Nebraska Noodles.
1t was discovered yesterday that the
Nebraska constitution provides that
the legislature shall canvass the election
votes. The governoo, not being aware
of this, had not convened the legisla-
ture, and was about to canvass the
vote himself, but when informed of the
law, he hastily issued proclamation
convening the assembly. The Demo-
Gratis, it seems, had been cognizant of
this some time, and kept silent, hoping
by technicalities to throw out the vote
of that state.
Another ROorback.
Certain western Democrats claim
that Colorado's vote can be thrown out
because some details of the enabling
act were not complied with, holding
that rs the present Democratic delegate
was elected for two years, he can't be
displaced by the recently elected Repub-
lican till the two years expire.
The Coming Conflict.
There is reason to believe that the
South Carolina Democrats will attempt
to inaugurate Hampton, even if the
Republicans preserve quorum long
enough to inaugurate Chamberlain. A
conflict appears inevitable. The dead
lock, it is believed, will purposely con-
tinue until after Wednesday, when the
Republican electors will certify the re-
turns of the state. The Republican
leaders here suspect that the Democratic
programme was to repeal the South
Carolina law giving the people the
choice Of electors and returning to the
old system Of election by the legisla-
ture.

The Nert CONGRESS.


There will be various cha. ages IL
Congress this year. The Senate, 1.-THE
admission of Colorado, has me. .uoer-
ship of 76, making the Republ lcan
majority after March 4th ten, if the two
Louisiana and South Carolina senators
are Republicans. If otherwise, the
Republican majority will be reduced to
four. Omitting these senators, the Re-
publican majority will be seven.
The latest reports indicate the cleo
tion of I47 Republicans. Should Flor
ida and Louisiana return all the MEM
bers who were candidates esforre-election,
and New Hampshire return her present
delegation, the figures would be 154.
Many contested cases will occur next
