WASHINGTON, March 4.
All the general appropriation bills
have become laws with the exception
of that making an appropriation for
the support of the army and the River
and Marbor bill.
There is a large surplus of money,
from last year, and no Improvement
actually needed will suffer on account
of the non passage of the bill. With
regard to the temporary bill, the for
mer appropriation leaves sufficient to
support that establishment until the
30th of June. Prominent members of
| Congress say this will necessitate an
extra session of Congress about May
I'd.
The Senate has receded from its
amendment proposing an appropria-
ton of $3.50. 900 tor the erection of a

of The Count of the Electoral
Votes-E2is Belief in II UnQues-
toned Election of Tilden and
Eendricks.
WASHINGTON, March 4.
Hon. Abraham 5. Hewitt has re-
signed his position as Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
in a letter of considerable length, in
which he asserts that the result of the
Electoral bill has disappointed every
lover of his country, II that grievous
wrong has been pcrpetrated by the
awarding of the presidency TO a cam
didate who has no just title to its hon
ors. Hewitt defines his action upon
that bill, and regarding his assent to
the completion of the count, says:
AS an honorable man, no other course
was open to him tout if honor bad per-
miited otherwise, his judgment was,
that it was the wisest course for the
country a. well as for the Democratic
party to proceed in accordance with
law to an orderly completion of the
count, although they knew it would
result in the installment of Hayes.
He recites his opinion that disastrous
consequences would have result,
ed in the defeat of the count, re-
sulting eventually in civil war,
and 10 him appeared on one side
anarchy and civil war, and on the other
peace and order. He says, in cOncln-
sionsof his lstter: Under the circum'
| stances | could not hesitate as to the
| course that was left open to me, and
| feel sure hat its wisdom will be vindi-
Gated by an early and triumphant sue
cess of the Democratic party, Standing
AS it does upon the rock of justice and
patriotism from which no amount OF
passion or provocation has been able
10 move it. For myself, l feel that l
have now completed the duty which
was assigned me at st. Louis. The re-
snlt of the campaign was the unques-
tionable election of u candidates.
That they and the people have been
| defrauded of their rights, is true, but
TOR this result | do not hold myself any
more responsible than any other mem

the duty of counting and declaring in
the votes.
