THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION.
Notes from Various Sources.
CoNRLNG's POSITION.

COMBINES POSITION.
The tribune says of Mr.. Conkling's
movements, that the suspicious of Thurs
day, that he has entered the conspiracy of
the revolutionists in the house to defeat
the completion of the count, have ripened
into belief in the minds of good many of
his party associates. 1t is asserted that
the democrats depend upon him to prevent
the president of the senate from opening
the remaining certificates after they un-
mask their filibusterlng project in the
house and that on the third of March he
is himself to be elected president of the
SENATE by combination between the dem
ocrats and eight or ten republicans whom
he is expected to control. He would thus
become president Of the United States for
one year.
REPUBLICAN ALARM.
The World says the republican leaders
are seriously alarmed at the possibility of
the failure Of the joint convention to elect
Hayes. 1t is the understanding that in
this contingency Grant shall resign March
8, and the president of the senate succeed
him until new election is held. 1t is not
probable that any such extraordinary step
will BIO taken, tor the Ieaeon that il is
believed the house will declare the result
before the 9th of March. 1t seems to be
the impression that in case the joint con-
vention fails TO elect, the presidency can
not be filled under existing laws. The
145th section only provides for vacancy
occasioned by death, resignation or ina
bility.
FIELDS QUO wARRANTo BILL.
The World says the bill providing for
writ of quo parranto in the presidential
matter will be introduced in the house on
Monday. The new bill provides that the
venue may be in the jurisdiction of the
court where the candidate resides, which
in the case of Tilden would be before
Judge johnson of the United States circuit
court. 1t further provides that after the
decision Of this court there shall be no stay
of judgment pending appeal to the United
States supreme court.
THE SUNS OLD SENSATION.
The Suns Washington special says it is
rumored tonight that, in anticipation of

COMPLETE THE COUNT.
The I1T6une'S Washington special says

coNKLING, TILDEN AND HENDRIoKs-UN-
CERTAIN STORIES.
The Tribune says it 10 rumored that
Conkling is bargaining to assist the fllbus-
tiers and to be elected president Of the SEN
ate and become president for one year.

revolutionists. Hendricks has sent word
to Washington that the democrats must not
defeat the count.
AFTER A CABINET POSITION.

culating at the instance Of Conkling, ask
ing Hayes to appoint Representative Plat
as postmaster general.
Combines INTERVIEWS EXPLAINED.
A Washington special Gays Conkling's
friends declare that his recent interviews
with pronounced democrats concerned
business matters, and had absolutely NJ
connection with politics. The Worlds
Washington special denies auihoritatively,
from both sides, that Conkling has had in.

TIE Heralds Washington special says
Speaker Randall declared to-day positively
that he was not in favor Of delay or fllibus-
tering, and it is so understood by his
friends. If he does not help them the at
tempt of the minority of the house dem
ocrats to delay the count must fail. In the
event Of successful filibustering, it ID said
Hayes would need simply to take the oath
of office and enter upon its duties, his right
thereto being determined by the fact of his
election, which o writ of quo soarrant0
would establish. The lawyers have I'M
earthed the fact that the old common law
