tremis,s. NJ. Hoar. looked - if this vic
tory was greater than the other.
The Democrats upon learning that Gag
Geld was nominated by his party to 20 or
the "Hoaas Five" expressed much indig'
nation, and will doubtless refuse to appoin'
him when his name is presented 70 the
House, for the viva voce vote, 10 be hai
made himself obnoxieus to al fair minded
men, BY bis extreme views dnriDg and
prior to the discussions upon the Electoral
Bill.
The Democrats have placed the presen-
,a,ion and management Of Mr.. Tilden's
case in the hands Of Judge Black, Lyman
Trumbul and others. while the Republi-
cans have engaged Mr.. Evar,s Of New
York, Bob. Ingersoll Of Illinois, and one
"r two Others 10 handle MI. Hayes interest
before The Electoral Tribunal. The Demo-
Gratis can ge, in all their testimony in re-
gard to Florida and Louisiana, while the
Radicals can come in only under the rul-
ings n the Tribunal.
The latter intend:sto deny the authority
of the Tribunal to go behind the returns
and should this point be decided against
hem, they will give up the fight, and make
only pro iorms contest thereafter.
The Democrats have not decided uron
their members But. Jencks and
Tucker will " likely be two.
1. is not at all likely that Morton will be
selected by the S ,nate to serve on the Tri-
bunal while all suppose Messrs. Thurman
and Bayard will be. Grant has expressed
his determination to approve the Bill and
we pre-une he will do 80 to-day, thus
making it the law of the land. The ex-
IRENE decentralization of the Office holding
Republicans, since the adoption of the
electoral compromis is very significant,
curses loud and deep" greet us on every
hand. They say Edmunds and Conkling
have given Hays away. Such is their
dread Of an honest count that the confidence
of the Democrats under the new order oil
things fills them with CONSERVATION. How
are the mighty fallen!
A few days ago they would listen to no
reason nor entertain any proposition, other
than that the President Of the Senate must
alone count and determine the vote. But
now a more crestiallen crew cannot be |
found-they see the handwriting on the
wall.
Grant has changed the orders relating |
to movement Of the troops, and instead of
massing them in the South as has been
contemplated, campaigns against the gentle
savages will be made as soon as spring |
opens, because the passage Of this electoral
bill by both Houses and its prompt ap-
proval by Grant, assures the settlement Of
The presidential complication upon har-
monious aud peaceful basis.
The drag net process of Morton's sub
committee was illustrated in large num-
ber Of dispatches in the Cronin- Oregon
case which we're perfectly valueless, inas-
much as they had no address or signature.
Morton's investigations prove nothing
whatever against the Democrats. Senator
Kelley is ready at any time to translate
all kilograms he sent or received in cipher.
But Barkis-Morton-is not willing. Just
10 with others, Mr.. Morton will not per-
nit them to tell all they know as thereby
they would disprove all allegations Of fraud
and corrupt use Of money. 1t further ap
pears that Mr.. Conkling of the Senate will
decide Cronin is entitled to receive the GER
ti6cate as duly elected Elector Of Oregon,
as the Senator is on the record in the Vance-
Abbott case from North Carolina to
the effect that the next highest candidate
should be declared elected when the one
receiving the highest number of votes is
