HEREFORD's UNLUCKY DEBUT.

HEREFORDS UNLCCk1 DEBUT
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIDUSE.l
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-The Joint meeting of the
two houses, which was resumed at lao o'clock, was
wholly devoid of interesting features until the re-
turn of Michigan was read. An objection then
filed by Mr. Tucker of Virginia to the vote OF Daniel
l. Crossman one of the electors Of that State the
ground that he had been Illegally chosen to fill a
vacancy caused by the non-appeaiance of Fenton
Hancbett Upon this the houses separated
The Michigan case was ridiculOusly weak 1t is
difficult TO understand how such good lawyers as
Mr.. Thicker and Senator Randolph were persuaded
to sign the objections. 1t appears that Fenton
Hanchett who was chosen one of the electors re-
celyed an appointment as United States Commits
sioner as long ago as 1868, performed only one
Official act and never afterwafd exercised any func
tion of Office In 1865 he moved away from
the place where he lived when appointed
and settled in another section of the
State. After the election, hearing OF the
cage of q commissioner In New-Jersoy, whose
vote il was supposed ought TO be questioned, he
thought il wise not to go to the meeting OF the
Electoral College and acted on that idea. The Col
leee filed the vacancy under State law by choosing
Daniel L. CrossInan in his place. Gresham was UNI
questionaby eligible; but the new theory OF the
Democrats is that when technically ineligible per-
son is elected there has been no election, and the
maliGed electors cannot fill the vacancy. Their
plap was to go on record in both houses
in favor of deprivlng Michigan OF one OF
her electoral votes. 1t broke down, however,
because the case was too weak to stand discussion.
There was no evidence except Mr.. Hmchetrs own
testimony before Proctor Knotfs committee, which
Senator Christiancy showed was, under the rules,
not competent because the only proper proof of his
appointment was tho record of the court which APP
pointed him. The case gave the Democrats an
opportunity Of showing how little respect they
have for the decision Of the Commission on the
question of eligibility. They took tho ground, when
the Commission was first organized, which they
thought most likely to prove advantageous to their
party and they stick " it consistently, regardless

THE DEMOCRATS MADE TO BELIEVE THAT He
WOULD LEAD A BOLT AGAINST LOUISIANA
THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUsEl
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Conkling is GER
tainly unfortunate in being continued object of
suspicion to his party associates and an ever-re-
vvng source of hope to the Democrats. 1t turns
out that the report ahoat at the Capitol yesterday
that he was going TO oppose counting the Louisiana
return was pretty widely believed by Democrats,
Senators and Representatives, and many of them
actually expected up to the close OF the debate that
the imposing form of the handsome New
York Senator would enter the chamber and
that his persuasive voice would at the
last moment turn defeat into victory. The
story that foand such ready credence among them
was absurd enough. 1t was that seven other Repub-
cans, most of them from the South, had agreed to
vote against confirming the Louisiana decision, II
Mr.. Conkng would lead the opposition in speech.
These seven Senators were supposed to have private
reasons for their course and only to require that a
prominent Republican like Mr.. Conkling should
afford them pretext that would do to offer to the
public All this is gathered from Democratic
as is the further information that there was bit
ter disappointment when the two hours allowed for
debate expired and no Conkling appeared. and his
seven supposed followers all voted straight with
their party. Republican Senators say that they
heard the rumor Yesterday. OF course they did not
believe it, but thev were little nervous account
of the evident reliance placed upon it by the Demo-
Gratis A prominent New-York Republican said to-
day that he imagined Mr.. Conkling to be only CO.
quoting with the incoming Administration, as he
did with that Of Gen. Grant in 1865 for the pur-
pose of assuring if possible, his control over the
Federal patronage of his State.

which they raised. He finally made himself heard
above the roar of voices, anu holding up the volume
of Holy Writ shouted to the Republicans that the
Bible itself was aliunde," and that that was tho
reason why they were unwilling to listen to its
teachings.
After Mr.. Seelye's speech. it was whispered
about that Mr.. Pierce also would vote against
the award of the Commission. and the
brief address in which he was expected to explain
his position was looked for with unusual interest
Mr. Ellis of Louisiana surrendered few minutes OF
his time to Mr. Pierce for this purpose. The ground
he took was similar to that already advanced by Mr.
Seelye He did not believe that it ever the in
tenton of the trainers of the Constitution that fraud
should pass unquestioned; and he thought
that it bad In morals and bad IN
government, and that if it was permitted
would end in destroying all confidence in the Gov
eminent He would. therefore, be false to his con-
victions if he voted to admit the returns from
Louisiana. Other speeches were made by Messrs.
Ellis, Kelley, Pratt of Indiana, and Wood of New
York. Mr.. Kelley dwelt with great emphasis on the
outrages of the Louisiana campaign, and read the
list, which is too familiar to the Ameri-
can people, of the colored people who were
murdered or abused in that State. The names OF
some of these called forth rounds of derisive laugh
ter from the Democratic side of the House, which
were in exceedingly bad taste, matter what Opin-
Ion may be held of the cause of those crimes
The vote which was taken at the close of Mr..
Woods speech stood 172 in the affirmative to 90 in
the negative, Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Seeye being the
only Republicans who voted with the Democrats
that the decision be not accepted
