The Count.

After Tie acceptance Of the vote Of Michigan
by both branches Of Congress, as stated in yes
terday's Gazette, the joint convention reason
bled and the count was continued unit! Nevada
was reached. Objection being made to one Of
tho electors Of that State the two Houses agar
separated. 10 the Senate the vote was unaDi
nous in favor of the eligibility of the Elector tc
whom the House had objected. In the House
the objections camo up for debate, but mo,
ton for O recess until ten o'clock this morning
was made and carried, several republicans vot-
Jog with the democrats for it, and the proceed
ings wero thus brought to close. The Oregon
case will come up to-day.
1t is the purpose Of the Commission, ii pos
sible, 10 dispose of the case without o recess
over to another day. The time allowed for the
speeches, both in behalf Of the objections and
the counsel for the two candidates, has been so
arranged as not to consume at most more than
eight hours, so that the Commission, by hold
ing night session, will be able to reach vote
and have their decision submitted to the two
Houses on the following day MIR. Jencks will
make the first speech 10 presenting the case to
the Commission. Judge Hoadcy will also
make speech as one Of the counsel in behalf
of the democrats, and will be followed by MIR.
Merrck, on the same side. The object of the
radicals is to reach the vote of the State of
South Carolina on Thursday, in order that it
may 60 to the Commission 90 that day and be
decided by it without delay by Friday or Sat
urday. They hope, unless prevented by delay
occasioned by diIatory motions on the part of
the democratic House, to complete the rol! OF
States and declare the result of the count by
0r If
time, they say, should be given 10 which to
officially notify Mr.. Hayes, whom they conf,
IDENTITY assert will be declared elected, of such
declaration so that be may be prepared for the
ceremonies, which will take place

1900 IN duties in the last two years. The
sum is not definitely known now, as
is not concluded. The difference BE-
tween the invoice on which the entries
makes out prima facie case Of fraud, but the
matter Is capable Of explanation. Had the al
legged underyaluatfon been made two or three
times, it would have been overlooked; but when
done Systematically, as e inferred by the con-
fession OF finklcr, the Custom-House uuthori-

cuscd. Il has been learned that the drafts re-
mitted to William Finkler cover the second in-
| voices, aud this Is regarded as proof positive
| that those handed over to the Government were
fictitious, for, If they were the true ones, would
not the German partner have drawn against
them:
When an importer enters goods and presents
the invoice Of them he makes affidavit that the
value represented is the market value, and that
ii he afterwards discovers any other invoice
going to show that the original one did not give
the true market value he will present it to the
Custom-House-

aud also that his father was not manufacturer,
and therefore not entitled to enter the goods at

goods were actually undervalued, nnd Air.
Adolph Moses, the defendants counsel, urged
tlattn the absence Of such proof the presump-
o dismissal. 1t had been testified to, he |
safd, that the customers invoices were regularly
entered in Finkler's books, aud he concluded, |
therefore, that there was no intention to de- !
