A. IA TIE Senate, so in the House the
Electoral bill was much more generally sup
ported By the Democrats than by the Re-
publicans, only eighteen Of the former vot-
ing in the negative, while $50 recorded
themselves for the bill. Five of the Demo
Gratis who voted in the negative, or more
than one-fourth of the whole number, were
Representatives from Kentucky. Three were
from Ohio, three from Alabama, and the re-
mainder were distributed among the other
States. Among the Republicans the vote
was more than two to one against the bill,
there being thirty-two in the affirmative tC
sixty in the negative. All of the Ohio
Republicans except Mr.. Foster voted with
Gen. Garfield against the bill. The Indiana
Republicans stood two in favor to foul
against, and those from Iowa, five in lavol
to three against. The Michigan Republican
delegation was equally divided, and only ont
Republican from Illinois voted for the meas
ure. From New England there were five
Republican votes in favor of the bill Il
twelve against it. the entire delegation
from Maine, except Ms. Burleish, and al
the Republican Representatives from Yer
mont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, vot
ing no. In the Republican delegation from
New York there were four votes in the neg
stive, those Of Messrs. Baker, Lapham
Townsend, and Williams.

FLORIDA,

Report ofthe Senate Florida Committee.
WASHINGTON. D. G. Jan. 29.-The re-
port OF the Senate Florida committee sub
mitted to the Senate to-day is signed by
| all the republican members. liz discusses
the action of the state canysssing board,
showing that it made a preliminary can
vass o. the returns on their face. giving to
the Hayes electors As majority. The board
then commenced to hear contests, holding
its sessions in public. The committee say
that the course subsequently pursued By
the board was exactly In accordance with
Its practice in 1874, when by the written
advice of the democratic attorney general
and OF the democratic lawyers, 1t went be-
hind the returns for the benefit of the dem
ocrstic party. The result of this canvass
was $50 majority for the HAYES electors.
The Committee argue at length that this
count was legal and constitutional, and
that the board had the right to seek a true
vote behind the RETURNS, under the statute
which creattd it. Tnev say the statute was
enacted pro bono publico to prevent cleo
ton frauds. The report then goes on to
argue that the finding of the board is con-
elusive and cannot be revised by a re-can-
vass, or reached by writ of quo warranto
because the electors are iunctus Ofheio),
or reversed by Congress, because the
constitution lodges the whole pow
er in the state government. Many
authorities are cited to sustain these posi-
tons. A distinction is drawn. however.
in the case of q ministerial certificate of
governor who has no power to decide any
thing. IL Is argued that Congress may
look behind his certificate TO ascertain the
facts, as a court may go behind the mere
ministerial certificate of a clerk purportlng
TO verify judgment, to see what the
Judgement really is. But if Congress can
revise the action Of the board, 1t must 20
to the bottom poll and ascertain the facts
in all the contested counties. 1t would
have to go as far as court in quo warran-
to proceedings. Such an attempt
could not be made tor there Is
not time, and anything less would
be unjust; for going to the bottom Of the
poll, the committee say. would show, &C
cording to the evidence AIKEN nv them, that
the Hayes electors had mere THAI $50 ma

The Electoral Bill

Has passed the Senate by vote OF nearly
three to one in its favor. That forty seven
Senators heartily approved the pan, is net
to be inferred. Many, doubtless, thought
as We certainly think, that after the surrend-
er by the leading Republican lawyers OF the
Senate. Edmunds, Conkling, and Frelinshuy-
sen, of the strong position under the Constltu-
ton and in the absence of any legislative
provision, that the President of the Senate
must count the votes, it is better to accept this
plan than to leave the matter in utter chaos,
or to relinquish the entire control OF the
count to the Democratic House, which are
the only alternatives That surrender seems
to US needless one. On the part OF Mr..
Eimunds it was apparently surrender oil
what he considers the true theory oil the case.
We infer this, from the following passage in
his speech, which VIC quote from the Con
gressional Record. He said
son the first occasion that any question
arose as to what was the constitutional vote
| of State you find that the
President Of the Senate never hinted that he
| had such power, and that each House, IN
the absence of legislation, assumed think
there as great doubt about tho correctness o.
| thar assumption-but they did assume
either by the expression of their Judgment, OF
| by the dictates of their command, to deter
mine what should be done"
Here is the expression of grave doubt, on
the part of Mr. Edmunds, that theHouses Of
Congress had any right to assume to deter
mine, in the absence of legislation, whai
should be- done with the vote of State, II
case of a question His view that the as
sumption was incorrect. has the support Of
the highest authority-that of Chancellor
Kent and of Judge Story-as well as thu
approval of su CHI lawyers as Mr.. Evarts, Mr.
| Stoughton, Dorman 3. Eaton, and others
eminent in their profession. Yet Mr.
Edmunds sustains this "incorrect" assump
ton on the part of Congress, as a precedent
and repudiates the alternative view, OF the
| right of the President Of the Senate to count
in all cases, in the cbsence of legislation
That position abandoned, as we have said
this Commission is the best thing We car
get, under the circumstances, and danger
Gus as is the precedent We may as wei
make the best of it.
The bill is as good as passed The House
will pass it eagerly, and while it gives Mr.
Tilden chance of success which he did MOI
have before. We hope for the best from TIT
| Commission.

A SERIOUS point appears to have been
made against the Louisiana returning board,
in the investigation conducted by the House
Committee. On Monday, a man named
Murphy testified that he met, at St. Louis, a
month before, one j. T. Littlefeld, who was
one of the clerks Of the returning board !;
that Littlefeld produced and allowed him to
examine the original Official return of the
votes cast in Vernon parish, Louisiana,
which had been altered, after the election
and that Littlofeld told him that, ex-Gov.
Wells, of the returning board, directed him
20 transpose the votes Of two polls of Vernon
parish from the Democratic to the Republ-
can side, in order to elect the Republican
candidates for District-AttOrney and Dis
trict Judge, both Of these candidates being
neighbors and friends of Wells, in whose
success he had especial interest; this Lit
tlefeld did that when the Morrison COM
mittee arrived il New Orleans and began to
press the board for the production Of the
papers, Wells began to be alarmed about the
Vernon parish return and requested Little
field to manipulate the official report from
that parish so a. to make it appear that I78
votes had teen thrown out; this he did
Murphy subsequently procured the return
and brought it to Washington, and handed
it to David Dudley Field.
On Tuesday, Littefeld confirmed this
sto-y, swearing squarcly that he changed
the return Of Vernon parish at the request
Of Gov. Wells, and that Wells subsequently
asked him to destroy the altered return
but that feeling that he had done too much
already, he did not do 50, but kept the
paper. No other returns were altered SO
ar as he knew; hut he saw considerable
scratching going on"
Gov. Wells explanation of this tTansac-
ton has not yet been elected but unless
the evidence Of this Little6eld, who con-
fesses TO having committed forgery in
changing the record of the votes, is thor
oughly discredited serious suspicion will
rest on the whols work of the returning
board.

The Tribune elucidates this as follows
Although $4,000 was deposited with
Ladd & Bush, the Oregon bankers, " for
use in the Electoral natter" there was
continual complaint at Salem of the "scanti-
ness" of the disbursements, and some OF the
eminent patriots disposed to take hand in
what James d. Fay called :" saving the Re
public" were IN artyrs to financial " eramp"
10 its most severe form in consequence of
the unaccountable unpunctuality of the Lib
erty-st. Bureau in advancing the small sums
needed for whisky and other legal assistance.
Indeed when Mr.. Bush telegraphed to Lib
erty-st. three weeks ago that $4,000 was
needed for the cause, he testifes that he got
only little more than $1,000, which, of
course, was totally inadequate to such
an emergency. No wonder the unknown
and earnest "Gubble' demonstrates with
the Head" of the party upon his bronze"
heart and "hierciless" bowels. No wonder
he expatiates ION services highest cum
ming" and applies to the ill-timed economy
of this lighthouse" politician the whitening
but appropriate epithet ''dottish' dot
fish," indeed Well, we should think it
was
The specific illusions to Mr.. Cronin 10
this despatch are unmistakable. HIS is with
out doubt the "gdlvsnic survivor" of the
otherwise defunct Democratic Electoral
ticket, and the brlskness with which, on the
application of battery Of sufficient strength,
he leaped from his beer ard went through
all the movements of living college, is
hardly to be paralleled in the records of
scientific experiment. Gobble is quite right
in insisting that such performances ought
to be literally paid for. If Mr.. Tilden had
not been a. cold as a clam, he would have
emerged" at once, and "coalesced" with
out any further demur.

The Counting OF the Votes.

To-day, Thursday, at one the two Houses
will assemble in the Hall of Representatives,
President Ferry presiding, and he will then
proceed to open the certificates in bis pos
session, beginning with that of Alabama and
proceeding alphabetically, and, as he
orens each, he will hand it to the four tellers
two from each House When GER
tifcate is read the Vice-President will call
for objections. If none are made he Will
then pass to the next State. Ii obJec-
ton is made it must be in writing, and
must be signed BY at least one member oi
each House. Such objections presented, tie
Senate will at once withdraw to its chamber,
and each House will vote upon the o6Iec-
tiors, two hours debate only being allowed
upon each State. If the two Houses concur
in rejecting the vote ola State it will be e1-
cluded. If they do not ccrcar the vote will
be received Whenever, however, the ice
President shall open two conflicting certlh-
Gates from the same State, these returns will
be at once submitted to the Electoral Com
mission, and the opening and counting d
votes will cease until the Commission renders
its decision. This decision will then he
voted on by the two Houses, acting separate
". and, unless they concur in rejecting 1t,
il will stand. The vote which is thus de-
clared legal will be counted, and the open
ing and counting will proceel until Other
objections are raised, or until another set oil
duplicate certificates is reached.
The counting will probably not proceed
beyond the first State on the roll. Alabama,
without the Intervention ofthe Commission,
for there are two returns from Alabama ;
and the law says that where there are mere
than two returns they shall be submitted 10
the Commission. Bat as no serious contest
Las been made over the vote OF that State, it
is probable it will not occupy the Commis-
sion long. The count Of the votes of Arkan-
sas and California will then be made. Then
comes Colorado. If the Democrat, present
the objection they trumped up as soon as
they found that Colorado had not gone for
Tilden, viz that Colorado is not State in
the Union, the two Houses must separate
and vote on that objection. The Senate hav-
ing recognized Colorado by the admission Of
the Colorado Senators, will not sustain the
objection, if made, and the vote Of Colorado
will be counted Connecticut and Delaware
will take little time. Florida comes next,
and with this it is safe to predict that the
first days count will stop. The certificates,
returns and papers will go to the Commis-
sion, and the Commission will have to decide
on its powers, whether it will go back of
the Governors certificates, whether it will
near counsel, etc. The discussions over
these points, and the Investigations, if the
Commission decides to 60 back of the re-
turns, will not be through with in hurry /;
and when the count will proceed cannot be
predicted.

We have not been able to shut ous eye
to the objections to the Electoral bill, as 4
concession to the threats Of the Democracy
as unnecessarily imperilling grave interests
Of the utmost moment to tho country and
as establishing what may prove to lie very
dangerous precedent. But it has become Il
law, or lacks only the final signature, and
we hope for the best from it. We trust
it will prove the measure Of peace it was
intended to be and that the Republican
case can he made so clear and strong before
the Commission ~ tn compel it u award
the election to the Republican nominees.
But there il no forecasting the result with
any certainty. The members Of the Com
mission will probably be put under pres.
sure such ~ few men have to meet and
they are all mortal and fallible, if not
corruptible.
