THE RESULT.

Al two o'clock this morning we are still
waiting for news Of the final result. The
last stand Of the flibusters ia being made
on Wisconsin, the last state on the liz,
and the indications ale that IL vote Ia
reached without recess Hayes will be
declared President before the morning
breaks, All day long aud all night
through, the obslruCtionists have been OF.
fering every impediment in their power
to the progress oil the count, but at each
step Of the way they have been defeated.
Speaker Randall has had his hands full,
and we are bound 10 say that he has made
manly Gght 10 save the country from
anarchy. He has done much to redeem
his reputation as n partisan speaker, and
to him the country will substantially owe
the peaceful solution Of the most momen-
tous crisis, in some respects, IN our Ma.
tional history.
The two houses have now been in ses.
sion over twelve hours, and there is an
evident disposition to finish the count
before daylight.
The desperate character Of the opposi,
ton is well shown by the fact that an
attempt was actually made on the Dem.
ocratiC side to object to the vote OF an
elector from Virginia, and was only de.
ieated by the fact that the requisite sig.
natures could not be obtained. Every
device to gain time has been Tesorted to,
but up to this hour without success. We
hope to announce the last grand defeat
I Of the obstructiOnists before We go to
press, in a postscript to these remarks.
THE DECLARATION.
At four o'clock and twelve minutes
President Ferry announced that the
tW Welve votes OF Wisconsin having been
cod nted, he declared Rutherford B.
Hayes. OF Ohio, and William A. Wheeler,
OF New York, duly elected President and
Vice President Of the United States for
four years, commencing with the 4th
day OF March 1877.

Adjournment OF the Legislature
To-day

To-day.
This body will close lis session to-day.
1t assembled OH the 10th oi January and
has consequently been sitting - days.
We have already published list OF all
the Acts and Joint Resolutions passed up
to Wednesday, and shall add those passed
since in to-morrow'S issue. One OF
the most important of all the
joint resolutions was that known
as House joint resolution num-
Der >, proposing an amendment to
the constitution radically changing the
Judiciary system OF the State This reso-
luton still fingers in the Senate, and, we
fear, is destined not to pass. The County
Court system will therefore remain AS an
snachronism in our State constitution,
notwithstanding it is well understood
that large majority Of the people are
weary Of the litigation and expense en-
tailed upon them by the system.
We are somewhat reconciled 10 this
prospective failure by the equal prospect
that the huge 70 PACED amendment to the
school law OF the State will also fail. II
We are TO have our school system radi-
cally overhauled let it be done when we
have few experienced educators in the
Legislature, and not crudely tinkered up
every session by persons who have no
recognized qualifications for such work
The work Of the session that has ex.
cited more attention and sensation, and
we may add, anxiety, than any other
business, has been the election of two
United States Senators and the passage
OF the Capital bill. These two perform.
anCes were supposed to bear close reIa.
tion to each other when the Legislature
assembled, and many persons regarded
them az Siamese twins that could not bt
separated without death TO many fond
hopes.
Instead Of this, however, the Senator,
ships and the Capital question turned ont
to be so much oil and water that would no,
mix. They kept themselves apart with
out any effort from outsiders. The Re
publicans made up their minds to make
choice between the political hues and
shades Of the candidates presented, anc
picked out two that suited them best anc
elected them without any reference what
ever to the Capital question.
1t is easy to say now tina, had the Cap
ital question been settled first il nigh
have been settled differently. Who cal
tell anything aboutit? Itisall matteI
OF the merest speculation to say so. It.wa
proper and right that the two questions
should stand on their separate merits, ant
those who have voted without reference
to their combination have no cause to
reproach themselves.
Az to the other work Of the Legisla
tnre, US represented in the number ant
character Of the bills passed, we Shal
have occasion to refer TO ii in detail from
time to time, and shall not enter upor
any review Of il at this writing.
