THE COUNT TO 90 ON.

The house decides by a vote Of
las to SO, this forenoon, to proceed
with the count. No advantage will
be taken OF technicalities or the
opportunity to flibuster and pre-
vent a completion Of the count
before the fifth of March. Having
acted in good faith thus far the
Democrats do not believe that it is
right to change their course on
account of a crime on the other
side. They have used no deception,
have acted fairly and with a due
regard for the sanctity and respon-
sibility of an oath. This reflection
tempers the sting of defeat and
disappointment. The Democrats
occupy a proud position before the
country; they have sacrificed ambi-
ton, hope and opportunity to save
the country from civil commotion
and commercial ruin. Hayes goes
in as a minority candidate. His
claims rest upon the decision of a
shameless and unprincipled return
ing board of Louisiana and the
disfranchisement of ten thousand
American freemen. 1t will
require a higher order of
craftsmanship than we think he
possesses to tide over the disap-
probation of a great majority Of the
thinking non-ofice-holding masses.
There will be no disturbance or out
burst Of expression, but the new
President will be regarded as an
intruder and a ~pretender. That he
will make some concessions to the
conservative element of the country
is to be expected as a matter Of
course. The managers of the party
will not be likely to let him go very
far that way. lie cannot consist
emily recognize Nichols, but may
Hampton hold on. AS to plac-
ing 4 Southern man-even of
type-in his cabinet, or
offering Federal positions to mode
rate Southern men, we do not be-
a word of it. He might be
willing to take this course, but the
influences around him will be
adverse. If, however, he only makes
a moderate effort to conciliate and
quiet the country everything will
down and We may expect a
revival of business to a
limited extent, and a display Of
renewed energy by the people.
Everybody is glad that the great
strain is about over.

The cause of wOman's rights
seems to be making some Roadway
in this country and elsewhere. Two
women have lately become preach
erS in this country, one a Methodist
and the other a Presbyterian. The
seventeen universities of Italy are
now open to women. Other couu-
tries propose to throw open the
doors of their highest educational
institutions to women. AL educa.
tional inequalities on account Of
sex should be done away with as q
relic of the time when woman wa;
a vassal and not a peer.
