OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Q, 1877.
THE HIGH JOINT COMMISSION.

THE HIGH JOINT COMMISSION.
By 10 o'clock A. M, yesterday, the
House galleries began to flll up with
the families or personal favOrites of
members of Congress who were recip-
tents to cards of admission. or with
those who have been able to muster
sufficient funds to purchase of the orig
inai holders the paste board favors;
and before the opening OF the count
about every seat was filled. A little
past l O'Clock the Senate as a body.
preceded by President Ferry paired
with Sergeant-at-Arms French, and
having its rear guarded by its attaches,
entered the Hall of Representatives
who received their guests standing.
The sympathy for Senator Morton who
was borne almost helpless in a chair
by tao sable attendants, was visible on
many faces among those who remem-
Der his loyalty to freedom and how eff
fectively he smote treason in the dark
days of rebellion when constantly
menaced with the knife or pistol of
Democratic assassins. President pro
tenlpore Ferry took position at Speaker
RandalPs right. Senators were seated
on the Democratic side in reserved
seats. The Justices of the Commission
had seats assigned them in front of the
Speakers desk, and among other in
terested spectators on the floor were
Mr.. Evarts and StoughtOn of Republi-
can counsel; Judge Black, General
Sherman, Hon. Geo. Bancroft histori-
an, Charles OC0nDor, Lieutenant
Governor Woodford of New York
Postmaster General Tyner, and repre-
sentatives of the Navy. For Jew |
moments there was much confusion.
but when all was seated quiet was re |
stored, and the momentOus count be-
gan with Alabama. The States were
proceeded with alphabetically until the
of the Florida Hayes Elec-
tors, followed by those of the Tilden
Electors, and q Democratic document
received from the authorities of that
State the night previous, was read In
The order named, when Field filed
written objections to the Hayes Elec Il
'Ors, which action was reciprocated to-
wards the 1ilden Electors aud the re-
'eption of the document named. The
wO houses were then notified that all
he papers In the case would be imme /
lately placed before the Arbitration :
commission, and that the count would
'e resumed when q decision should
ave been reached. The Senate then !
uietly withdrew to its own cham Der. Z
nd the galleries were soon almost de-
erted. The city was filed, but not :
rowded with strangers. The adjoin-
