THE OUTLOOK.
Tho Political Situation Exciting and

Tho Political Situation Exciting and
Threatening.
The Union strongly urges resistance
to the count, and combination to
make Conkling president of the Sem
ate. The Republicans threaten the
irreconcileables with Morton as presi-
dent OF the Senate, in the event of
filibustering Hayes out. The cause OF
the row this morning was that Sena-
tor Sherman brings the intimation
from Ohio that Hayes and Packard are
regarded as In the same boat, and
must sink or swim together. The po-
sition of Hayes has stiffened up the
Republicans and made them more
stubborn about concessions to the
South. 1t may happen that the edge
of the battle will only be reached when
Conkling and Morton contend for the
presidency of the Senate.

this morning. No business was trans.

lection in regard to Mr.. Morrill,, of THE
Pennsylvania electors, on Saturday
awaited the action of the House on
that matter.
House: Preliminary to delaying the
count to day, Mr.. Clymer, OF Pennsyl-
vania, moved a call of the House.
This exhausted half an hour.
MIR. Springer, of Illinois, then offered
objections to the Pennsylvania cleo.
tors.
Mr.. Banks, of Massachusetts, OBJ
jected to the reading.
Speaker Randall overruled the oh.
lection and the reading was ordered.
When the reading had progressed
about twenty minutes, Mr.. Kelley, of
Pennsylvania, renewed the objection,
which the Speaker again overruled
An appeal was then made, which
seemed to have been carried, BY q
second count, however, by the tellers,
1t resulted In the same way the yeas

in an order that the reading continue

Messrs. Bagby, =, Dobbins, Hancock,
Haythorn, Raymond, Miller, Morgan,
Stephenson, Tarbox, Throckmorton,

This vote is very threatening.
The House proceeded to carry the
next meeting ofthe joint session into

gains are virtually twenty-four hours

cussion, the Senate again met the
House In joint convention and the
State was counted for Hayes aud
Wheeler.
South Carolina was then reached,
when an objection was entered, the
certificates referred to the commission
and the convention took a recess until
ten tomorrow.
The objections to the vote of South
Carolina assert
First-That no legal election was
held In South Carolina for presidential
electors, the General Assembly of that
state not having provided, as required
by article s, section 3, OF the constitu.
ton thereof for the registration Of the
people entitled to vote, without which
registration no valid or legal election
could be held.
Second-There was not existing In
the State Of South Carolina, on the first
OF January, 1876, nor at any time
thereafter up to and including the
10th Of December, 1876, a republican
form of government, such as is guar
anteed by the constitution to every
State in the Union.
Thlrd-That the Federal govern
ment, prior to and during the election
OF the 9TH of November, 1876, without
authority OF law, stationed in various
parts of said State, at or near the poll
ing places, detaohments OF the United
States army, by whose presence the
full exercise of the light of suffrage
was prevented, and by reason whereof
no legal or FREQ election was or could
be had
Fourth-That at the several polling
places in said State, there were United
States deputy marshals stationed, who
were appointed under the provisions
of sections 202l and 2O22 of the United
States revised statutes, provisions that
We're unconstitutional and void; that
said deputy marshals, exceeding over
one thousand in number, by their
unlawful and arbitrary actions had, in
obedience to the improper and Illegal
instructions received by them from the
department of Justice, influenced the
full and free exercise of the right of
suffrage by the duly qualified voters
OF said State; that fair election
could not be had and was not had in
said State on November 18th, 1876.
Fifth--That there was not from the
LIST of January, 1875, up to and inclu-
ding the 10th of December, 1876, at
any time, a State government In the
State OF South Carolina, except pre-
tended government, set up in viola-
ton of law and of the constitution of
the United States, by federal author
ity and sustained by federal troops.

man and Stanley Matthews. The ob.
Ject OF the meeting has not transplred.
The invitation was received at two
o'clock and may have led to defeat
OF the motion for recess on Rhode

AT an interview with Senator Sher.
man, he indicated that his visit to
Columbus had no purpose of influence
ing Governor Hayes to commit him-
self to q policy towards the South.

from Hayes and telegraphed to the

One feature of the bill for a new
election, in case of no constitutional
choice, for president OF the Senate,
provided his term shall not expire
withthe fourth of March and shall act
as Executive pending the election.
The bill looks to au election In No.
vember and inauguration on the
fourth of March, 1878. This bill will
be reported probably tomorrow will

stands a fair chance in the Senate
and for the presidents signature.

bill seems tonight to be the only
