bilt used to be very fond of whist, andhe
credited William Cooke, n railroad man
of Bridgeport who was his partner on
one occasion, with the finest play he had

Commodore's long suit was spades, the
whole Of which he held with the excep.
tion Of the king and card of small de.
nomination, which were held by Mr.
Cooke without the Commodere's Enowl.
edge. II was the Commodore's lead, the
trumps having been exhausted, and he
was debating in his own mind how to
capture or get rid OF the king, so as to
run out his suit. He at length led the
ace, on which his partner played the
king, thus giving the Commodore the
control OF the suit. II the small card
had been played,'his partner would have
had ssthe leading card in the suit, and
would .have been unable TO return the
suit afterwards.

The defeat of the Bill to count the
electoral vote, will in all probability, be
attempted by some of the leaders of the
Republican party in Congress. But it is
doubtful whether they will be able to ac-
complish their object. Mr.. Morton may
possibly be able to influence the Presi-
dent to veto the measure should it psas.
Should it then be passed over the veto
it would prove that the Radicals had been
greatly weakened and that their object
to inaugnrate Hayes by force would GER
tainly fail in the end.
Its introduction has, to say the least,
taken burden off the people and they
apparently breathe freer.
The correspondent ofthe Worldsays:-
at is believed that at least eleven Re-
publican Senators, including Senators
Morton, Sherman and Mitchell, will op-
pose the feature of arbitration. On the
other hand, Republican members of the
committee feel confident ,of its adoption
by large majority without material
amendment.
Among indications Of popular senti-
ment have been the kilograms received
by Mr.. Hoar approving his course in the
matter-one in particular, from Chief
Justice Biglow, of his own State, pro
nouncing all parties overwhelmingly in
favor Of the bill. A like sentiment is
expressed by the congratulatory kilograms
be has received since his election to the
Senale, which Mr., Hoar himself is i'm
clined to attribute to his attitude on the
committee. The statement that the Penn
sylvania delegation had protested united
ly AGAINST it, or that the Ohio Democrats
and Republicans in the House had re
ceived kilograms denouncing it, appears
TO be at least premature. The caucus Oh
Monday night will probably give better
Insight into the real views of Democratic
members, which will be better for the de-
lay.
