Prospect of the Recognition Of the Mich
oils Government by Hayes.
To-day the news comes that the
Electoral Commission, after consider
ing the evidence and argument OF
counsel in the Oregon case, has deci-
ded that the electoral vote OF that
State shall be counted for Hayes and
Wheeler.
This settles the long pending con-
test which has agitated the country
from centre to circumference, and
settles it in way that bodies great
good to the American people. With
Rutherford B. Hayes in the Presiden-
tial chair, and a Congress too evenly
divided respecting the political status
of its members to permit the domi-
nation of the extremists of either par
ty, we may be assured of an honest
and impartial administration OF the
eoyernment-one that will sustain
the prestige of our nation abroad and
contribute to the contentment and
harmonization of people at home.
There is no doubt the decision O
the Commission will be quietly &C
ouiesced in. The counting of thu
electoral vote will be continued b.
Congress in joint session, and 1t is no
probable that any further objection
will be raised by the Democrats. Soutl
Carolina is the only remaining Stat
which has ever been disputed, an'
the law aud equity in that case hav
long since been conceded to the Re
publieans.
The situation of affairs in Lonisian
is unchanged and will so remain unit
after the Inauguration of the new ad
ministration, President Grant havin
declared his purpose of leaving til
settlement of the vexed question

1t is asserted in Washington, an
by men believed to be in the cont
dence of Mr.. Hayes, that the polio
of the new administration will be

in South Carolina and Loulsian
Without hazarding a decided opinic
upon this point, We are free to confe
that the present tendency of even
seems favorable to such a result.
