house Of S. b. Chittenden this evening, for con-

At late hour the conference had not ad-

presented the arguments in favor of the passage OF
the bin i'll an informal but very fOrcible manner,
and that conversation and discussion of it fol-
lowed. The delegation was found to be divided IN
opinion in regard to the passage of the bill small
majority probably was opposed to It, some Of
them, however, making only conditional
opposition. In other words they may
finally vote for the bill after attempts =
amend ii have failed. Among those who favoi tie
bill may be mentioned Messrs. Chttenden, Ma
dougall, and Davy, who would prefer TO have I'll

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The President has con-
versed very freely with those who have called upon
him during the last two days in regard to the
Electoral BILL He. expresses himself earnestly in
favor of its passage. There need therefore be no
expectation if the measure is agreed to by both
houses that he Will refuse to sign it. He said
to-day that he considered it patriotic
statesmanlike, and equitable proposition for
the adjustment Of the difficulties, and that no one
would welcome a peaceable solution of the Pres
dental question more than he He said that he had
noticed the opposition to the bill among extreme
partisans on both sides but it did not appear to him
to be of such a character or to be sufficiently
organized rs to secure its defeat. He thinks
that the business interests Of the country
would give such support to the proposition
and would so speedily make that support felt from
ali sections of the land that 1t would be Impossible
even for those who now declare their hostility to the
scheme to vote against it. He said that If he had
an opportunity he should sign it willingly cheer
fully and heartily. Speaking of the election in the
three disputed States, Gen. Grant said 10 gentle
man who called to-day that as to South Carolina
and Florida he did not believe that any
fair-minded man could now properly deny that both
of them went for Hayes. As to Louisiana. he spoke
with much less degree of certainty. In fact he
left upon the mind of his visitor the impression that
he seriously doubted whether the action OF the he
turning Board could be justified whether the vote
of the State could honestly be given FOR Hayes.
