gnseressinr speeulasions.

Warrington, Feb. Speculation as
to the ultimate effect # the electoral
commissions ruling of yesterday con-
tinues in every place where people con-
gregate in Washington to-day. The
first impressions concerning it have
been generally little altered by subse-
quent reelection and discussion-Dem-
ocrats. with few exceptions, are dispir-
tied, and Republicans are almost uni
versally cheerful. alaA9
Jeremiah Black says: "we have all
the law and facts on our side, but the
Republicans have the court"
Another 7promiM mt Democrat, who
does not want to he quoted, says in a
similar hopelt IS spirit: Judge Bradley
will vote with the Democratic members
of the commission when there is no
point of importance involved, but on all
main questions will stand by his party"
Charles O'Conor takes a more cheer
full view of the situation. He says Til
den has lost one point in many, and has
gained one in few.
Several Of the Republican counsel say
that this decision practically settles the
whole presidential contest, and that as
regards the Oregon case it gives them a
much better chance to establish their
propositions than they would have had
without it.
Springer, a member of the commits
sion which framed the compromise bill,
places his whole reliance on Louisiana,
where he claims, there are two ineligi-
BILE electors and ar illegal returning
board. He says Chaffee, of Illinois, is
undoubtedly ineligible, and that the Or
egon matter, if settled on the same
principle as Florida seems likely to be,
will give the election to Tilden.
Lamar, to his confidential friends,
says unreservedly, that there is little
hope that the tribunal will secure Til
denis election. Southern Republicans
generally share this opinion.
There is no concealment among many
southern Democrats that the success
of Hayes would result in a considerable
disintegration of the Democratic party
of the south, especially in the cotton
states.
The members of the tribunal are as
absolutely partisan, except Justice
Bradley, as any body of men ever con-
vened together. Bradley is really the
President maker. He decides every
thing, even to adjournment, as to-day
when, after the arguments were finish
ed, the Republicans all wanted to hold
a night session, but the Democrats
voted to adjourn. Bradley voted with
them for the purpose of taking time to
look owe numerous authorities and de-
eide properly on the case put to-day.

THE TR1pARr1rE TRIBUNAL.
Another Days Proceedings.

Washington, Feb. S.-The commits
sion reassembled at IL. Counsel on
both sides were present. Justice Cliff
ford stated that the proceedings were
now in order under the order adopted
by the commission yesterday. Green,
of counsel ON the Democratic side,
called as a witness Geo. P. Roe, of
Florida, who resides in Tallahassee and
is attorney general of the state. Wit
ness was asked if he was present When
the writ of quo warranto was served.
Evarts objected to the question as not
within the order of the court. Green
said they proposed to fix the date of the
quo warranto proceedings, as they did
not consider that the order of the COM
mission excluded that question. The
question was then put to the court and
the objection of Evarts was sustained. :
+. q. Humphreys having been iden-
titled, Counsel Green presented the
commission of Humphreys and a certifi-
cate from the clerk of the court in
which the commission was filed, that
no resignation had been filed up to
january oath, 1877. Humphreys was
called on the Republican side and ex-
amined by Stoughton. He testified
that he resigned the Office of U. S.
commissioner and his resignation was
accepted Oct. 9Th by Judge Wood, from
whom the office came. Witness pro-
duced the written acceptance Of his
resignation. Mr.. Merrick objected to
the production of the paper, as it was
an act of an individual and not IN act
of u court. CStoughton said the paper
was received from Judge Wood in ans
wer to the resignation which was ac-
copied, and that it said that until he
Judge Wood) could come to Pensacola
and hold court, the duties would be
discharged by the collector of the port.
Shellabarger followed for the Repub-
licans.> He said since the committee
refused to hear testimony concerning
the quo warranto, he thought discus
sion on that subject uncalled for. The
quo warranto was only alluded to in
Gov. Drew's certificate, and those pro-
ceedings could not therefore be brought
here. He commended that the power Of
a state was limited-that after an ap
pointment had been made and the
office had passed away no act could
change it and it thereafter became q

WASHINGTON
80 n A sorry Set.

#NaMH~E# q @
Washington, Feb. S.-The Demo-
cratic leaders have sorry looking faces,
and are completely demoralized over
the commissions action yesterday.
Some, however, base their hopes on Or
egon, and declare that there is yet a
good prospect. The Democratic coun-
sci to-day showed by their action that
they were unprepared for the decision.
The commissions vote of this morning,
excluding evidence about notice of the
proceedings under the quo warranto be-
ing served on Hayes electors before De-
cember 9Th, was SO decisive that the
Republicans regard it az virtually rul-
ing out the whole quo warranto case.
The Democratic counsel only produced
one witness in the Humphreys case, and
lie was 50 valueless that Evarts declin-
ed 10 cross-question him. The interest
in the proceedings increases.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-02-09
The Situation simplihed.

The only remaining question in the
controversy now is that which affects
the appointment of electors who were
ineligible. The states in which this
question may be raised are: Louisiana,
where two electors on the Republican
ticket were on the 7th of November U.
). office-holders, and that of Oregon,
where Watts was chosen and the GER
tifcate given by Grover to Cronin. In
Louisiana the two ineligible Republi-
can electors resigned their federal
offices before the day on which the cleo
toral college met and failed to appear
at that meeting. The remaining cleo
tors therefore declared that vacancies
existed, and proceeded to appoint the
same TWO persons who were originally
OH the electoral ticket.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-02-09

federal trust. The power OF the state
wa on that day forever ended, and to
contest an election after the Office
passed away he thought would be an
absurdity.
The introduction of a letter from Hi
ram Potter. collector of customs, dated
Oct. 9Th, 1876, asking witness to turn
over the books and papers of his Office
was objected to by Merrick. Witness
stated that he did turn over the Office,
and had not exercised the functions of
the office since; his resignation was adj
dressed to Judge Wood at Newark,
Ohio. and its acceptance came from
there; there has been no session of the
court at Pensacola since.
Judge Hoadley followed on the Demo-
cratic side, in a lengthy argument,
quoting largely from English .authori-
ties in support of the proposition that
a vacancy existed in Humphreys case.
He commended that the commission
ought to consider favorably certificates
No. 3, as they had the authority of the
executive, judiciary and legislature.
Evarts closed the case for the Re-
publicans, in an argument full of legal
points, S 70 concisely and completely COW
ering the ground that ever the most
sanguine of the Democratic party pres
emit acknowledged their effect. 49,
The commission will take the Flori-
da matter into private consideration
early tomorrow morning, and it is ex-
pected they will reach a decision during
the day.
The Democrats have little hope of
anything more favorable to them than
the throwing out Of Humphreys cleo
toral vote.
The contest in the Louisiana case
will be over the legality of the return
ing board itself. The law calling for
five members, and the four members
who voted not filling the vacancy, it
will be claimed that there was n an
vass of the votes and that no electors
have been appointed.
Prominent Democrats claim that the
commission has adopted a course that
must throw out the vote of Watts, the
Oregon postmaster.
