WASHINGTON. Fob. 10. 1877.
The democrats und oubtedy biundered to-day IN
carrying . recess in che House until tomorrow
Under the Electoral law they had the right 70 do So
but they gained nothing by IT, and It was generally
conceded by moderate men to be unreasonable and
FOOLISH Az tie caucus this evening various speeches
were made but nothing done, ihere being nothing
TO do
In the Senate the proceedings lacked interest Tho
conclusion being foreseon Senator Sargent took
lent denunciation Of the democratic party, which he
declared guilty Of numerous assassinations His own
ndewere plainly disguised with him. or tho demo-
Gratis Senator Stevenson made the best speech though
Senators Thurman and Bayard also spoke calmly and
moderately. When the voting came only four sena-
tors failed to respond Senators Conkng Blaine, Dor
sey and Hamilton were all absent from their seats.
Tonight the election of Mr. Hayes generally con-
coded, nobody expecting anything from the Oregon
case, and many being disguised with that
case as It now stands.
The spirit Of tho democratic tonight showed
shat there are lawyers enough ready and abe devise
means to delay the counting Of the vote, under
the Electoral law and to In this way great and
prolonged uneasiness but that the few who
wish to do this will have bur ltsle support and would
have none at all II there reasonable assurance
that the Inauguration OF Mr.. Hayes would put end
to tho carpet-bag governments Louisiana and South
Carolina The fear that prevails on this subject that
Mr. Hayes may be subject to evil influences gives the
only following they have the few who are easor 10
obstruct the Court
