DELAYING the Count.

From the Tribune.
The electoral count has consumed SO
much time that a point is now reached
where it may be Ia the power of a small
and desperate minority of the House to
prevent its completion, and it ought not
perhaps to be matter for surprise. in
view of the composition of that body, to
learn that this small and desperate minor
ity are now perfecting a scheme for their
own disgrace and destruction. If their
project would accomplish nothing more,
we would be content, but il purposes
much greater mischief. A bill has been
prepared for new Presidential election
this Spring. which is to be submitted to
the democratic caucus, and if unsuccess-
full there, is TO be carried boldly into the
House, and around it TO DO rallied the fill
clustering crew who have taken con-
tract 70 steal the Presidency. This move
ment alarms the republicans, for So men,
bers are said TO have already enlisted in
II. and lew additions to their number
will give them a sufficient force to pre-
vent the counting Of the last votes, if the
House is necessary To the count. There
ought to be found, and there doubtless
will be, some way TO prevent the consum-
nation of such gigantic knavery as this
but whether the way is found or not, the
knaves themselves will be sure of their
punishment. The men who combine u
steal the Presidency decided against them
BY court of theft own making will &c
down to history branded for all time.

protest against the counting of the electoral

prepared by Southern republican members Of Con-

Meeting Judge swayne of the United States
Supreme Court after the decision of the electoral
commission in the Florida case, Representative
Abram S. Hewitt of New York said: Judge,
isn't it painful to note the fact that the judges on
the electoral commission do not rise above part-
sanship, but uniformly vote on party lines :" The
judge, assuming sdistrcssed expression of counte-
nance, but with merry twink lie in his eye, re-
piled, "Why, yes my dear sir, it was 4 subject of
modification to me, and have seriously thought
of demonstrating with brothers Clifford and Field
on that subject; but you know it wosld be rather
delicate matter ior me to do, and perhaps you
had better speak to them yourself. "-Heraid.

Is Tilden Insane?

A special from New York in the Boston Trav-
eller of Friday says:
Our worthy citizen, Samuel J. Tilden, is said to
have made a sad exhibition of himself yesterday
morning. AT about ~ A. NJ, he ordered his
horse, and mounting, rode down Broadway. bow
ing right and left. His coat and vest, even to the
Shirt were unbuttoned, but THE cold breeze seemed
only to inspire i'm. Arriving at the Grand Cen
trail Hotel, he drew aside to accost a friend who
was passing, and, without hesitation, uttered en-
phatic language against the man who, he declared
had consplred with the Oregon rogues and lost
him the Presidency. This accusation evidently is
aimed at Hewitt, and it is not improbable that
Uncle Sam will yet call him to account publicly.
Tilden has been greatly annoyed lately. lie takes
matters sadly to heart-riding out as early as or
as if his reason was leaving him and that the
Greeley affair would be repeated.

The Situation at Washington.

A Washington despatch to the Boston Globe Of
Saturday says:
The flbusteS aver that they will force all DEM
ocrats to oppose the Inauguration of Hayes on the
count of the Commission, or drive them over to
the republicans. The democratic plan is already
well outlined. If the flibusters succeed they
propose to introduce all possible dilatory notions
and demand roll call on each. If fifty men
and the Speaker can be held together, they say
they are sure they can prevent the consumma
ton OF the count by week from Saturday,
the last day Of grace. As soon as It'll becomes
evident that the count can be fllibustered, they
propose to pass bill, read by Mr.. Field in to-
days caucus providing that the Secretary Of
State shall act as President during the interreg-
mum and a new election be held in April. 1t is
uncertain if they can hold their force up to this,
some of the democrats, including Thompson of
Massachusetts,, advocating merely the defeat of
the count. thus forcing Ferry to count in Hayes,
and the House then treating his presidency as
merely de factoas Packards government in Lou
isana. The republican ms are Of course, prepared
for all emergencies. and their leaders say that if
the House will not finish the count in its chamber
the Senate will call joint assembly to meet in its
chamber TO finish the count, then declare Hayes
elected and inaugurate him. This is the attitude
Of both parties to night.
