The Truth of History.

The Grand Duke Alexis is creating consid-
able comment in this country with the press,
and all of then, mention him as the heir to
the throne of Russia. We are surprised that
che Richmond Dispatch Or State, has not be-
fore this discovered the mistake. Alexis is
siot heir to the throne Of Russia, nor is it
probable he will ever be. Alexander Alex
androyitcll, the second sen Of the present
Emperer-the, first son, Nichelas. having
died in lSGs-is the heir apparent, and was
married in 1866 to the Princess Dogmar of
Denmark They llaye Il son, Nicholas, who
was born ia 1868, who woald succeed to the
throne we're Alexander Alexsudrovitcl to
die before the present Emperor. So it will
be seen that Alexis is far removed from the
throne He is not married, aud for this rea

bellies and beauties of Norfolk and New York
to extraordinary endeavers to capture him.

TIE REPORT.
Tbe renort is to the following effect.

The report is to the following effect:
The Electoral Commission having received GER
tain certificates and papers purporting to be GER
tifcates of the Electoral votes of the State of
Louisiana, and certain papers accompanying the
same AMI the objections thereto. report that it
has duly considered the same and has decidedan

frion, Peter Josepp, J. II. Brick, L. A. Sheldon

are certified by said persons. us appears by the
certificate submitted to the Commission as lfore-
said and marked No. by said Commission and
herewith retprledl ore the votes provided FOR by
the Constitution Of the United States, and that
the same are lawfully to be counted as therein
testified, namely: Eight votes fop Rutherford B
Hayes, OF the state OF Ohio for President, and
eight votes for William A. Wheeler, of the State
of New York for Vice President. The Cor1mis-

ground OF this decision stated, briefly is substan-

The suspicion is raised that the cismor of
the democrats about alleged frauds in Lofts
lana and Florida on the part OF the Repu5li-
cans, Is 4 rtise, to attract attention from the
damaging exposures given the public By the
telegrapIIic dispatches to and from 'iilden's
residence and Oregon, in reference to buy
ing an electoral vote. We publish the most
important of these dispatches elsewhere.
Those net signed. and coming from New
York, are arcertained to be IN the hand
writing OF W. L. Peltou, Mr.. Tilden's pr-
vate secretary and nephew. 1t is very clear
that it was the purpose OF 1ilden to secure
one vote from Oregon, it mattered not by
what means. The exposure contained in
the kilograms will prove very damaging to
the Democratic party, and explain to some
degree, their ineessant clamor about Repub-
lican frauds, not proven. As :, general
thing, the democratic papers haze not pub
lshed the dispatches. This looks bad. 1t
is better TO face facts. anl deal with them
frankly, however dsagrecabie.

REPORT OF THE CASE.

Commissioner Morton moved that three mem.
berS OF the Commission be appointed to prepare
report III the Louisiana case, and that Il recess
of one hour be taken.
commissioner Strong said that the question that
had been passed upon was the question of the

Commissioner Payne moved that one hour be
allowed each side in which to make arguments
before the Commission.
Commissioner Garfield said that the order Dur
sued yesterday giving four and a-half hours to
each side to argue the whole question was inter
rupted by the offer OF testimony. 1t was then
agreed that two additional hours should be given
to that question After that agreement was en-
tered into it was also agreed that counsel might
draw on their final time and use it that inter
locutory question if they chose, and they used it
up and discussed the whole question, together
with the interlocutory question. The COUNSEL
have not asked for additional time, and if they
had should consider that we ought to stand by
the order shall therefore vote against the mo-
ton OF Commissioner Payne.
Commissioner Morton said that unless counsel
desired it he should vote against the proposition

tion further.
