WASHINGTON, Dec. "a.
The decision ot rne supreme Court Of
Elosids, that tho returning board must
count the vote of the parishes it threw
out, has mad the effect Of oombshcll in
the camp Of the conspirators. Their fol-
lowers were already -faiteeing, and this
last shot, coming Us it does right on top
of Gen. Baylowts letters, is likely 10 pre-
cipitate the impending break in the Sen

WAS clearly too late for the Supreme
Court Of the State to reach the record Of
the doings Of the legal action. As to the
actual result of the Courts decision ne
could not, Of course, say. lie was in
formed that even such recount as the
Supreme Court had ordered would show
that the Hayes Electors were clearly
elected; but he supposed it would give
the Democrats control uf the State gov
ernmeut. As usual, he was very reticent
as - any plans which he and his CO.
latorers might have for the future.
The Star toreshadows plan in the fol.
lowing editorial paragraph, which may
be inspired" bnt probably is not. It
says: "a. nil.
"The farce lately played iu South Caro-
liha has been re.enaetea in Florida, where
the State Supreme Court has ordered the
board Of canvassefs to count the vote Of
certain counties which the bnurd threw:
out. The board, it is said, will refuse 10
obey the order Of the court, on the ground
that it has no Jurisdiction over their &C.
tion and cannot compel them to count
certain returns which law of the State
anthnrizes them TO throw out. 1t is p.ob,
able the court will follow Judge Moses
example in South Carolnn and commit
them to Jail for contempt. The board
will .hen appeal to the United States
Court for release, as did the South Caro-
lima cnnvassers."
All the signs, however, indicate that
lc .tor, do ,.,I
as we'll as the rant and file. Don Piatt,
in this mornings Capifai, ssserts souarely
that Morton himxelf is, weakening, and
declares that on his recent trip to Indiana
he found public sentiment 30 unanimous
against him that he has come back fright
ened and will act very conseryatively.
In answer to question whether the SEN
ate committee of seven were likely to re-
commend the passage Of his bill TO pro.
vide for the counting Of the Electoral
vote, MOrton said this afternoon that he
did not know, the committee had held
only one very short meeting and nCne Of
the mcmhers had alluded to his bill.
The Senate committee viii, meet aguiR
Wednesday.
Most of the Congressman had left the
city for the holidays before the news from
Florida came, but the few Drnlocrats who
were here were jubilaut. Senator Jones,
df Florida, who has predicted such de.
Cis;on @ the court haa made, now reiter-
ateY hin assertion that such n recount as
is demanded will givo the Tilden Elec-
tons . very respectable majority, aud
| show that the Democrats have elected
their two Congrcssmen and the whole
State ticket Conover admits the Con.
gressinen and the State ticket, but still
holds with Motion that the Hayes Elec.
tons have Gu the State. Private -ad-
vices from Congressional committee
now in Flor. are very encouraging for
the Democrats. It is said that the Re-
publican members are 30 fully convinced
that frauds were committed that they will
not countenance them, and that the com.
nittee will unanimously report that Til.
den has carried the State. Congressman
Hoar, who il q member of the House
committee of seren, says of Louisiana
that the Committee will present two dia-
metricaily opposite reports, accompanied
with such mass of testimony that Con-
gress will not have time to digest it, and
proposition will be made to refer the
question 70 some outside tribunal. That
proposition, he thinks, will fai'a first be-
cause there is no provision in the Yebusti-
tuition or precedent in history for it; and
second, because in the struggle Of bash
parties for advantage in the composition
of the tribunal an agreement would be-
almost impossible. He frrlher says that
the J resident of the Senate will count
the vote, will announce Governor Hayes
ele,tcd. the administration will SEQ him.

Spite Of all these utterances the proba-
