TELE0RAPHIC BREvTTIES.
The Electoral Commission is hold
ing daily sessions on the Florida
election case. The presiding Justice
on being asked, "What is the case OF
Florida?" replied that it consisted OF
three certificates with accompanying
papers and objections. These papers
are very numerous, and most OF
them have been prepared with labor
and care. Every law point in rela-
ton thereto is being accurately dis
cussed, and speech making has be-
come the main feature of the Com
mission. It is not expected that a
conclusion will be reached for some
time to come.
The President is DESTROYS that his
views on the finance question should
be accurately known. They have
been summarized under few heads
somewhat as follows: First-In his
opinion the time for specie payment
has come, and that can be effected
within very short time. he desires
to put his opinion on record before
the expiration of his term shall be
reached. Second--Under this pro-
position he does not anticipate that
there will be q great demand 10:
gold, since currency holders could
get Government gold bonds for the
same, at an interest of four per cent.
Third-One hundred million dollars
worth Of such bonds is urged. These
would supply the market demand
but more might weaken the project.
Fourth-He believes that the price
of gold will continue to 60 lower,
and that it will soon be almost on q
par with currency. He presents q
list of figures by which it is proved
that there is an increasing trade bal
ance in our favor. Fifth-He shows
that the imports of specie for the
last six months of last year were
almost 500, 900 more than the e1-
ports in the same period. thus prov
ing that the supply of gold in this
country is becoming monthly much
greater.
Now that Davis has been elected
United States Senator, the question
as to his successor is being
largely discussed. Both Democrats
and Republicans are urging the
claims of their respective candidates,
but as yet nothing definite has been
done. The friends of Trumbull are
urging his name for the position,
and others are urging the name OF
Judge G. Campbell of Louisiana.
This latter gentleman had seat on
the Supreme Bench before the war,
but when his native State, Alabama,
seeded his resignation was rendered.
Davis will not resign, it is said by the
Democrats, until after the Inaugural
ton of the next President, and hence
his successor will be appointed by
Hayes or Tilden.
John F. Chamberlain, the we'll
known sporting man of New York,
has gone into voluntary bankruptcy,
and Edward Dyas, the actor and
father of Ada Dyas of the same city,
has died.
The Louisiana Investigation still
continues. A Republican lawyer
connected with the case explains the
matter as follows "We cannot at
present give our side of the Louis
lana bribery story. The purpose OF
the Democratic committee under
Dudley Fields leadership is to con-
ceal the Republican side of the case,
and possibly, the Democrats hope to
prevent its being made public at any
time. All I can say is that it is a
damnable conspiracy, and in a few
days we shall be able to prove this to
the satisfaction of every honest man
in this country. Meanwhile, tell the
people of the country not to be dis
turhed. The whole story is a con-
spiracy of periured and indicted
thieves and scoundrels, and when
the truth is told the public will be
startled"
The President is about to send a
message to Congress on the specie
resumption scheme. 1t has already
been submitted to the Cabinet for
