COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 14.-The feeling among all
classes here as to the decision of the Electoral Com
mission is about the same. There are very few
Democrats, either in the Legislature or among lead
ing members Of that party, who do not now concede
that Gov. Hayes will be declared President. When
questioned as to the situation the melancholy reply
is 1--WE are wrecked Yes, all gone to pieces and
past redemption" Up to Monday noon their hopes
were strong but after the vote Of Florida had been
declared for Gov Hayes, and the speech of Mr.
Carr from Indiana their confidence de-
serted them wholly, for the first time
since the election. Much of their hopes were
based on the power Of the House To delay the count
until after the 18th of March. and thus secure an
other election A prominent State official said II
this was successful he had doubt the Republicans
would again nominate Gov. HAYES; but should any
convention again attempt To force Mr. Ilden on the
Democratic party there would be one of the grand
est fights ever witnessed in this country

Congress and the Pacific Railways.

There is one measure before congress
of more importance to the people than
either the silver bill or the resumption
repeal bill. This measure is Senator
Thurman's bin before the senate to COM
pei the Union and Central Pacific rail
ways toproyide for the payment of their
indcbncss to the government. The
measure is at present in the hands Of
the Judiciary committee, which is com
posed of the following senators; Ed
munds (chairman), Conkling, Howe,
Christiancy, Davis, of H., Thurman and
Mcdonald. Itwould seem that the peo-
pie Of the United States might hope to
get Justice from that committee, as it is
composed of II goodly number of the
oldest rs we'll as the ablest senators of
the United States. But the lobby is
there, and, of course, it is monster lob
by, and composed of many of the
shrewdest lawyers in the country. A
