The news from Washington is not of sucl
a character as to justify prediction as t.
the course which will be pursued on the 14tl
of February, in regard TO counting the cleo
toral vote We have never doubted tina
Governor Tilden was fairly elected President
and we believe he will he inauguratcd on til,
9TH Of next March; but by what process tn,
desperate men who are struggling to coun
In Hayes will be thwarted, we can not fore
ace. They will never acknowledge the jus
tice of Governor Tildcn's claims To then
defeat means pc ilical ruin, the loss of place
and power, with no hope in the future o
regaining the influence they now WELD
They have staked all their political fortune.
upon the chance of defeating Tilden and thu
reforms he has promised, and if they fail
as fail they wil-there will be none so poo
to do them reverence.
One scheme after another is suggested t.
subvert the will of the people by declaring
Hayes elected, but each one contains the in
durable defect of lacking the sanction of thu
American people to cousummatc the fraud
The latest device is the suggestion that there
shall be new election. There is not Il shad
ow of prob bility, we may safely say, tina
such plan will be resorted TO- The counlr,
has already suffered SO much in its business
interests, from the depressing influences o
one excited Presidential contest, and thcus
and times more from the uncertainty of til,
result since, to quietly submit to anothel
suoh strain, with no more prospect of tn,
minority abiding quietly by the result than
there is at present.
Either Tilden or Hayes was elected ON til,
eth of last November, and the only question
now is-and to that all honest minds az,
gravitating-whom did the majority choose
This ascertained, the will of the people mus
be supreme.
The committees Of the Senate and Hous,
of Representatives to agree upon some jus
method of counting the electoral vote, hay,
held secret meetings, and have, it is reportt d
not arrived at q solution of the problem
The difficulty will probably be, not VIII,
shall count the electoral votes, but wher
there are two sets of electors from q State
which set shall be counted?
If the members of the Senate and Hous
are disposed to treat the question honestl,
even this need involve no difficulty. Coz
gress has the right, and should exercise 4
of going behind the face of electoral celtif
Gates, in contested cases, and of deciding
upon proper evidence, other than the cerlli
Gates themselves, how the people of any par
ticular State actually voted. Not which Sc
of electors they should have chosen, bu
which set of legal, qualified electors had al
actual majority. Thus, if majority of tn
people of Oregon voted for the Hayes cleo
tors, let the electoral votes of that State b
counted for him and if the people of Louis
lana, or Florida or South Carolina chose th
Tilden electors, let their votes be so counted
Nothing but a fair and honest settlement q
the matter, without resort to legal bubble
or technica'ilies, will ever satisfy the uprigh
sentiment ofthe country.

golden opinions from all sorts of people by
his conduc OF the office The prerogaiiv; 5
of his committee give scope for many petty
arnoyances and mean injusliccs, if ii chooses

Roberts rises above all this and while keep
ing II mastery grasp on the details of his
province, administers it with such urbanily
and generosity wherever h sense of duty
allows, that when he imposes restrictions
they are sure to be dictated by wisdom and
prudence. In short, as Mr.. Roberts remark

with The gentleman in all his ttfuIts for re-
tienchment whenever retIenohment is prop

! THE BENNETT-MAY AFFAIR-On Thurs
| dry of last week James Gordon Bennett,
proprietor of the New York Herald, was
cowhided, in front of his club rooms, in
New York, by Frederick May. The reason
assigned for the assault is that Bennett,
who was to have been married to May s
sister, had INDUCED purposely in all manner
of dissipation, in order to cause the breaking
off of the match, and at the last moment her
parents felt obliged II withdraw their con-
sent to the union. Bennett, in an interview
with them, II is alleged, used very insulting
language, which was resented in the manntr
stated by young May
A challenge was Immediately sent by Ben
nett to May, and duel between them WIS
fought on Monday last, at Slaughter's
Station, Delaware. One exchange of shots
took place but neither party was struck
Both parties expressed themselves satisfied,
and the affair then and there terminated
Benefits wounded honor has therefore been
healed sooner than the stripes he received
DR.. Charles Phelps, who was connected
with the affair rs surgeon, was arrested in
New York on Wednesday and upon refusing
TO answer questions propoundod TO him by
the grand jury, was committed to Jail for
thirty days.
Miss May is the daughter of DR.. Frederick
May, of New York, and member of one
of the oldest and most respectable famiie s
in the country. The late Hon, Henry May,
of Baltimore WAS her uncle.
