THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION
Final Decision ON the Florida Case The
Hayes Electors Declared Legal.

Final Decision ON the Florida Case The
Hayes Electors Declared Legal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Notwith-
standing that after the ruling of the
electoral commission on Wednesday,
it was the universal belief that the
electoral vote of Floriada would be
awarded to Hayes and Wheeler. The
anxiety to hear the decision of the
commission to-day was so intense as
to be almost painful. Senators and
Representatives neglected their legis~
iative duties, and all day long hung
around the Supreme Court chamber.
Special correspondents directed their
entire energis in the same direction.
Members of the cabinet hovered
around and members of the national
committee Of both parties were in
sight during the whole day, eager an
ravenous to the last degree for the
least crumb of intelligence. All sorts
OF improbable rumors were floating
around, many of which found believ
ers, and which it is useless to repeat
now. The commission did not ad-
Journ till about 8 o'clock, and it was
not until two hours later that its &C.
ton was definitely known and under
stood at the hotels and public pla ,es.
The account of the Associated Press
sets forth in such full detail the report
Of the action of the commission that
1t IS useless in this place to supple
ment it.
Inc Two Houses will reassemble in
Joint convention tomorrow, and the ac-
ton OF the commission will be commune
eSted to them, and then the vote OF
FLORIDA will be added to the Hayes and
Wheeler column.
The next States in order after Florida
are Georgia with its eleven votes fol
Iilden, Illinois with its twenty-one for
Hayes. Indiana with its fifteen for Til.
den. Iowa and Kansas, with sixteen TO,
hayes, and Kentucky with twelve for
Illden, These will all be counted with
out opposition, except in the event Of
objections on account of the alleged in.
eligible elector in Illinois. If this oh.
Jection is made the houses will have t,
separate and vote upon the objection
The Senate will refuse to sustain it. ant
tne entire vote of Illinois will be count
ed.
Then comes in regular order Louisiant
with ls two sets of returns. This cas-,
Will be referred to the commission, will
all the papers which accompany the two
eertincates; In consequence of the mag
hltude OF this case the belief is that th,
commission will be occupied upon it Il

McCRACKIN MINES. Etc.

MT. Lyons, who arrived here, yesterday direct from the McCrackin Mine, gives n, the following news in regard to mines, mills etc. in that section
 Mir A. Bateman, who recently took charge of the McCrackin. with n. R. Pierce to as sist him, has made many very excellent and necessary changes in both working the mine hauling the orc and milling the same. IL formerly cost the company four dollars per ton to move the orc from the mine, on the top of McCrackin Hill, 10 point where it could be lcaded on wagons, thence to be car ried some r or 15 miles to their mill, now this orc placed on the level below the mine, by means of substantial tram-way, where 1t can be loaded on wagons, at cost of 35 cents per ton. The ore that is being taken from the mine is very much in excess of any previous amount since the discovery of the mine by Mr. MeCracken. and the quality of ore surpasses all former expectations. It is estimated that the yield of orc, being taken from the mine, daily, exceeds $l,10O. The cost of freighting the ore to the mill has al- so been reduced from sl4, to about &, and in fact everything connected with the mine. mill, etc, has taken quite different impe- tus and for the better.
 The company have contracted with par ties in San Francisco for the immediate cree ton of a new 20 stamp mill, which is 10 be put up on the Sandy about two miles below Il. Tn every respect, and when completed will be the agency of giving employment to large number of men and make business lively where, now, everything seems dull.
 Mr. Leet, who has been prospecting the Western Extension of the McCrackin mine, in Mohsye County, after running several tunnels and prospecting it thoroughly, is satisfied, and will soon erect 10-stamp mill on the Sandy, one mile below the McCrackin Compsny's mIll, to work the ores. He las adopted the winning plan,-l that IS to say, determined to go slow, and | know the value and extent of the ore before going to any great expense in building mill. Having become assured on these points he is now ready to proceed, and is confident of success.

The court has it's duty to perform in the new trial grant cd to the great criminal, and nothing but de. reflection on the part of the prosecution can save him from execution.
