The entire system of telegraph lines
and Offices of the Baltimore d. Ohio Il.
r.. Co., including the variou divisions
and branches through to Chicago and

from the Western Union to the Atlantic
Dc Pacific Telegraph Co., giving the

Democrats Confident.
New YORK, FEB. IL.
A Times special says the Democrats
are determined to make great fght in
| the Louisiana case. Judge Merrick. OF
the Democratic counsel, says that the
| decision in the Florida case is Just
clearing away the brnshwood from the
real strength Of the Democratic posi-.
ton. and there are now questions in
the Louisiana and Oregon cases, not
yet argued or decided. upon which
they confidently rely for favorable
decision from the Commission.
| What the SmA Advises.
The Sun says The House of Repre-.
sentatives has right to adopt resolu
tion declaring that Hayes Is mot elected
President, and that the President ot
the Senate ought not to- declare hin
elected. This would leave the title o.
the Office open to be contested in thu
courts, but the only trouble is that W,
have not any longer Supreme Court
