New YORK. Feb. 26. The SUI.
advises the House of Representa-
tives not to delay the count, but
when completed to pass a resolution
declaring 1ilden duly elected, asthe
sense of the House.
The Herald editorially hopes
Hayes will cause what has always
been called "the South" to finally
and utterly disappear. Parties based
on geographical lines are always po-
tent for evil, but the country is now
ripe for y change. 1t can be fairly
said no President in recent years has
entered an Office SO little bound to
party. SO greatly and solemnly
bound to take into his judgment and
his confidence the whole country.
SPRINGFIELD, (Ohio) Feb. 26.-
Governor Hayes, while en- route from
Fremont to Columbus, passed an
hour here. He was escorted to the
hotel and made brief speech, in
which he expressed the hope that
the people would acquiesce quietly,
whoever might be the persons de-
clared elected. He believed the
country desired peace and security,
and thought this idea should be the
expression of the people to their
representatives at Washington. Re-
alizing his lack of special fitness for
the duties to the performance of
which he might be called, he placed
his trust in Almighty God, who rules
the destinies of nations These re-
marks were received with tremen-
dous applause. The crowd did not
disperse until the departure of the
train.
New ORLEANS, Feb. N.-A dis
patch from New Iberia to Governor
Packard, from Odellahasage. says a
collision occurred between the
whites and blacks yesterday at Jon
nett's. Both parties are under arms.
A few soldiers to keep the peace
might prevent great deal of blood
shed. Great excitement now pre-
walls.
CHICAGO. Feb. 26--The Journals
Washington special says the Demo
Gratis, by their renewal and success
ful tilibustering this morning salts
fed the Republicans that the con-
test was not over. The breach in
the Democratic ranks, however, is
hourly widening, and a bitter feel
ing is being engendered, which is
rapidly leading to iireconcllable
differences. The Republicans and
conservative Democrats. by rous-
ing vote, defeated the motion to
have the Pennsylvania evidence
read, but on the yeas and nays the
flibusters succeeded in inducing
their party friends to go with them
and the motion to read the evidence
was carried. The reading occupied
one hour. Hewitt endeavored to
debate by renewing the attacks on
Hoar, under whose fagellatioh he
was still smarting. The Democrats
crowded about his seat, and when
he said although the Democrats
we're cheated, deceived and defraud-
ed, they must abide by the decision. >
shouted coward! that is cowardice, :"
etc., and the confusion was great.
Cate, of Wisconsin, and Yates, of
North Carolina, stood in front of
him, shaking their fists and vocifera-
ting. Great excitement ensued, and
momentarily Democratic fight ap-
peared imminent. The Speaker re-
| stored quiet and the debate went on.
Hewitt, in his denunciation of
Hoar, accused him of reversing the
usual process and taking out foxes
skins with lions hide. He cited
the votes of Hoar in the commission,
showing. he uniformly voted against
the admission of evidence to show
fraud on the part of the Louisiana
returning board. Hoar voted in the
Louisiana case that the commission
had 10 judicial power. In the ease
of Oregon, he voted it might take
evidence. Hoar had always been
the champion of justice and right
business. His magnificent perora-
ton in the Belknap case would long
be read by the American youth, yet
he voted not to receive evidence on
a fraud. Hewitt's appeal for adher-
ence to the provisions of the elec-
