NEW YORK, Jan. q.
The Herald's Washington special
says: One of the Southern Senators,
who called on the President to day
relative to the appointments in his
State, found him thoroughly informed
in all the minor details and general
principles of the electoral bill. Grant
first made allusion to the discussion
which its passage in the Senate has
provoked, and said he not only gave
his approval 10 the bill. but was per-
fectly satisfied that in the absence of a
provision in the Constitution for count
ing the vote, the present emergency,
from its unusual character, demands
some satisfactory method of settling
doubts and disputes about the election.
This was absolutely necessary. He
said that unless it was done, whoever
might be inaugurated could not enter
upon the discharge Of his duties with
that efficiency and ability which the
interests of the county would require
during the next four years. To do
that, needed the acquioscence of all
parties i'm the rightfulpess of his title.
