New YORK, Feb. 1S.--The Times Bal
timore special says parties there have no
trouble in identifying the leader of the
Baltimore ballot-box suffers at the Gin
cnnati election oi October last, men
toned in Hollands testimony concern
ing the Democratic frauds then pcrpe--
trated in the latter city. He is well
known to have been Harry Mccoy, the
chairman of the Maryland Democratic
EXECUTIVE Committee, and one Of the
leading Democrats of the State. He left
Baltimore early in October in charge of
large gang of experienced ballot-box
suffers and repeaters, whom he divided
between Cincinnati and indianapolis,
and brought them back after they had
done their work. Mccoy was on the
slate for collector OF customs or naval
officer ut Baltimore in the event of TIL
den becoming President.
There has been universal growing by
the Democrats at Judge Davis and those
who elected him.
The Herald says no serious resistance
will be made to the completion Of the
count and Inauguration of Hayes, be-
cause it is now manifest that such an at
tempt wonld not only fail in its object,
but split and destroy the Democratic
party. Most Of the great sections of the
country will be satisfied with this result
OF the Presidential election. The great
section which had the most reason tor
dissatisfaction, and whose wishes have
been thwarted, and its electoral vote null
lifted, is foremost in counseling patriotic
submission. The South sets its face
against the tillibustering Of the factioNs
opposition, and counsels its Democratic
brethren to give Hays fair trial. If
Democrats will rise above the heated po.
litical atmosphere of Washington and
cast their eyes over the whole country,
they will look in vain for any section
that will refuse to recognize Hayes as
the lawful President OF the United States.

The 7ribuae's Washington special says;
The present Grand Jury is about halt
Democratic and half Republican. Al
though no opposition to Piatt, his indict-
ment is expected. The President is very
earnest in the matter aud determined to
bring Piatt to punishment it he has any
law authorizing it. There is a rumor
ahoat this evening that there are several
more articles for the paper of the same
character, written by CinciDnatian not
regularly connected with Piatt's paper.
If such il found to be the case it is pos
sible joint indictment may be found
against this gentleman and Piatt under
the statute.
When the one hundred extra police
men appointed to serve at the Capital
during the count, were drawn up in the
rotunda to be sworn in, the fifty ap-
pointed by Sargent at Arms, French,
stood by themselves, and those by Sar-
gent at Arms Thompson by themselves.
Upon calling upon all in Frenchs line
who could take the Iron Clad Oath, to
hold up their right hands, all except
three did so, and two of these having lost
their right hands ut Gettysburg in Serv-
ice of the Union, held up their left. lhe
whole fifty took the Iron Clad OATH
When Thompson's line was called up
only three hands went up. The remain
ing forty.seven were obliged to ask Tor
modified oath.
The Worlds Washington special says
in spite OF the clear majority which the
Republicans have in the Senate, no little
anxiety is felt least the decision OF the
tribunal would meet with disagreement
in the Senate, as well rs tomorrow in
the House, and it was a curious circpm.
