WASHINGTON, March 2-The nc
men'ous str ggle is over. and the Pres
dential muddle is at an cad. The
fillibusters of the House, who fought
hard and long against the Vermont and
the Wisconsin disputed Republican
Electors were finally beaten ear y this
morning.
After the Vermont question was dis
posed OF the volts of Virginia aud
West Virginia were counted for TildeD
without opposition Then came Wis
consin, to one of whose Hayes Electors
objection was made, and the two
Houses separated. The Senate voted
for all the Wisconsin Hayes Electors,
and the House against. The joint SEES
sion was resumed at an early hour this
morning, when President Of the Senate
Ferry, after receiving the statement of
the telers that the count was finished
and that Hayes had 1876 and Tilden
l84 of all the electoral votes, an
rounced I! ayes elected and the joint
session finally terminated. On the re-
assembling of the Senate in its own
nall, he Vice President formally made
the official declaration that Rutherford
b. Hayes is elected President of the
United States, and William A. Wheel
er Vice President. Thus ends the long
asany, and there is a general feeling of
relief, except on the part of few mar
plots in the House who persisted in
their factious opposition to the end
At five minutes past 4 O'clock this
morning Mr.. Ferrey performed the
final act as presiding officer Of the
joint Convention of the two houses of
Congress, by rising in his place. amid
the most profound silence, declaring:
"Wherefore, do announce that Ruth
erford B Hayes, of the State of Ohio,
having received majority Of all the
votes cast for President of the United
States for the term of four years, COM
meucing March t, 1877; and William
A. Wheeler, having received major
lty OF all the votes east tor Vice Pres
ident Of the United States, is duly
elected Vice President of the United
States" And thus the most extra
ordinary and exciting struggle ever
witnessed In connection with the
counting of electoral votes was brought
to close, and all danger of civil com
motion aud anarchy happily averted.

The journey Of President Hayes
from Columbus, O., to Washington,
was marked by most enthusiastic dem
ousirations of pleasure and good-fee(ing
by the citizens at every place where
the Presidential train stopped. Hand
shaking was INDUCED ;n wherever
an opportunity was offered, but no
speeches were made, save the brief one
at starting. AS the train moved on

hearty cheers of good will went up
