ALARM AT THE SITUATION.

AN INSIDE VIEW FROM A DISTINGUISHED REPUBLIC.
CAN PoLTICIAN-THE GRAyEsT APPREHENsIoNs
EELr-EvERY EFFORT MAKING 10 PREVENT
DECISION.
1.-THE following is from a private letter to the
Editor of The TRIBUNE, from Republican Of Ma
tional reputation, who has until this week had no
doubts of the election and Inauguration of Hayes:I
81 have spent the last ten days in Washington and
feel it duty to acquaint you with the disquletude
which prevails among good many of our Judicous
friends.
"The apprehension is that the passage By the
House of the bill for new election and provid-
ing for the temporary vacancy in the Presidential
Office may far reinforce the ranks of
the filibusters as to enable them to de-
feat the purposes of the Electoral Counting
act and prevent the declaration of any result
pursuant to its requirements. They will protest
that this is not neutrality-suspicious. the House has
furnished means of escaping an interregnum-and
attempt to throw the responsibility the Senate,
if it fail to accept the House They will in
sist that they only appeal to the people to undo the
wrongs of which they complain-OpposIng formal
declaration of choice frauducnty effected only 10
reach, by immediate second election, an indis-
putable result, ETC., ETC., ETC. These only spec-
vacillating trmmers heretofore voting for action in
the morning and for delay 10 the afternoon.
"SOme of our friends urge that in the last resort
the President Of the Senate must count the remain
ing votes and declare Hayes elected. This the
House would treat ultra rires the authority Of
COnkling and Edmunds and Others who so I'M
necessarily yielded that ground and proceed to elect
Tilden. Another suggestion is that Grant resign,
and be succeeded by the President of the Senate,
and of course there all sorts of glesses as to
who will be chosen to fill that place, one Of them
being that Hayes be elected President of the Senate
and so succeed Grant. calling extra session, and
repeating the act of 1892 which requires an election
in November following such contingency.
1T Is the belief of many III WashingtOn-in which
share-that unless strong current of public
opinion makes itself felt aud needed in the House.
there is not much hope of a satisfactory and safe
ISSUE that good citizens of both parties should
promptly unite in urgent appeals to their represent
tatives to go on and finish the count
"Unless we look for more from Randall than he
has so far given right to expect even resOlute
minority of the House, skillfully led may certainly
defeat the mandate of the Constitution and the law
commanding the votes to be counted. Bnt my
greatest fear is that the macOntents may have a
majority Of the House, now that Fields bill is passing
that body"

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-Ihe best informed poll
tcianS in Washington assert positively that during
bis recent brief visit to Gov. Hayes Senator Sher.
man was offered the Secretaryship of the Treasury
in case the Republicans inaucurate their candidate
for the Presidency next Monday. Mr. Sherman is
very undecided in regard TO this important position.
Many Of Gov. Hayes's friends think that it will be
better for the incoming administration TO have in
each House of Congress man like Mr.. Sherman and
Gen. Garfield who by their experience and ability
will be able TO lead their party and interpret
the policy Of the administration and that
Senator sherman render much more valuable
service in his present position than in the Cabinet.
II Senator Sherman shonld accept the portfolio of
the Treasury, several prominent Republicans ara
mentioned for his place in the Senate. Among these
are Gen. Garfield and Judge Stanley Matthew'S Tho
friends of the former assert that if he will accept
the portion he will certainly Do elected but Il ia
doubtful if he will not prefer 10 retain his position
in the House with it's possibilities TO entering the
Senate and having TO engage at once during tho
coming Fall in sharp contest for reelection.

SOUTH CAROLINA FOR HAYES.

THE TRIBUNAL HURRIEs UP MATTERs-THE HOUSE
PASSES A BILL FOR NEW ELECTION.
Argument as to South Carolina was made
before the Electoral Commission yesterday by
Mr.. Lawrence for the Republicans, and Messrs.
Hurd, Cochrane, Blair, and Black for the
Democrats. The Republicans waived their
right to speak more in order to hasten
the proceedings. In secret session the
Commission voted, 8 to Y, to report the
State for Hayes and Wheeler. The House
passed David Dudley Fields bill for a
new election yesterday, rushing it through in
one day. 1t was sent to the Senate and buried
by reference to the Committee on Privileges
and Elections. The conservative Democrats
and the Republicans are still strong enough to
see that the count is completed. There are
rumOrs of a Democratic plan to make Mr.
COnkling President pro TEN. of the Senate, but
they are denied. Mr.. Morton will probably be
elected if there is any election. None will
take place until Friday at least. Gov. Hayes
will start for Washington on Thursday. A part
ing reception will be given him to-day.
