AT PIE kkRCY oFHOL.TIcIANs

The news from Washington show
.conclusively that at the present time
the people of the United States are a
the mercy of the politicians. To Sc
cure southern support for Hayes, Pres
ident Grant is satisfied that the
Nichols government is the one thai
ought to stand in Louisiana and he viii
recognize it as soon as the electoral
count is completed. 1t Is further
stated that compromise has been ef-
,fected between Nichols and northern
Republicans, among them Hayes
brother-in law, by the terms OF which
tho Republicans are to have the long
term Senator from Louisiana and the
Democrats guarantee immunity to he
publican politicians for past otfenses III
that State; in other words. that Pack
ard and the members of the Returning
Board must not be prosecuted. Hayes
authorizes Foster, of ONO, to tell the
Southern people that he IS ID favor OF
new men and a new policy, for the
purpose of gaining their support.
Conceding these reports, which come
from Republican sources. to be true'
what more is necessary to convincs IN
telligent people that they are being
made tools Of by their leaders! Mich
oils. whose government Grant and
Hayes are willing to recognize, was a
candidate ON the same ticket With the
Tilden electors, and was counted out
by the Returning Board. His vote IN
the State of Louisiana was about the
same as that received by the Tilden
electors, and if he ought to be Govern
or. the electoral vote of the State
should be counted for Tildsn. The
fact that Hayes is ready to recognize
Nichols, brands him as a trickster
only too willing to be declared elected
upon what he comedies to be the fraud
ulent count of the Returning Board.

THE FIGHT FOR THE PRESI-
DENCY.

The latest news from Washington
seaves the Presidential question as
unsettled as at any time since the day
of election. There is scarcely hope
that the count of the electoral vote
will be completed before the 4th of
March. To provide for the contin-
gsncy a bill has passed the House
ordering a new election, and declaring
who shall be President dd interim,
The greatest excitement prevails, not
only in Washington but in many of the
cities in the Atlantic States in regard to
the situation, some favoring a compile
ton of the count and others opposing
ii. Messages have been sent to all
tn 4mbers of the Forty Fifth Congress
to be in Washington next Tuesday
prepared to act in ease of emergency
The Commission has decided by the
usual vote of to 7 not to hear any
evidence in the South Carolina case,
and that the electoral votes be counted
for Hayes and Wheeler. 1t is idle to
venture an opinion as to what the re-
suit will be. 1t ia believed that if there
is no prospect of the count being com
pleted according to the provisions Of
the Electoral bill the Senate will de-
clare Hayes elected, and the House
will proclaim Tilden President. and
that both will be inaugurated, and
cave it to the courts to decide who is
elected.

REPUBLICAN journals in New York
manifest alarm at the prospect of sue
cess of filibustering and the defeat of
Hayes. The Times Washington
special says the Democrats will object
to the electoral vote of every remaining
State. Besides motions for recess, long
documents will be presented. The
Tribune says prominent Republicans
at Washington express great apprehen-
sion that the count will not be COM
pleted.

In the South Carolina case, the COM
mission report in substance that docu.
msnts submitted have been examined
and that, by majority OF enc, on a
strictly partisan vote, it has been de-
cided that the votes of the Republican
electors who are named in certificate
No. |. certified by Governor Chamber
Lain, are to be counted for Hayes and
Wheeler; that the commission has dc.
cided that no evidence to prove the va.
lidity of votes other than those men,
toned should be admitted.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Temper or the Democratic House
The senate by - S'rtet Party Vote
Adopts the Decision OF tho o'nmis-
sion.
The temper OF the House to-day,
when recess was taken without two
hours debate, occasions apprehension
that the Democrats desire to delay the
result. Prominent Democrats say that
nothing of the kind is intended. II is
desired to See the proceedings OF the
commission In print before entering
upon the two hours debate allowed by
the law. There will be objections to
Georgia. Proofs OF the ineligibility of
Chaffee, an Illinois elector, will be
presented, and the two houses will
separate. This will be disposed Of by
disagreement, and the vote counted
for Hayes without reference to the
commission. 1t may be restated THAI
only Florida, Oregon, Louisiana aud
South Carolina can come before the
commission. All questions affecting
other States require the concurrence
of both houses to defeat vote.
The president of the Senate laid the
following before that body:
WAsHISoroS, February 0, 1877.
SIR i am directed by the Electoral
Com m issi0n to inform the Senate that
II has considered and decided upon the
matter submitted to 1t, under the act
of Congress concerning the same,
touching the electoral votes from the
State of Florida, and helewith, by d.
rection of said. Commission, trans
NIT to you said decision in writing,
signed by the member agreeing
thereto, to be read at the meeting Of
the two houses, accordingto said act.
All the certificates and pupers sent to
the commission By the president OF the
Senate are herewith returned.

The Senate then repaired to the
House, and upon returning the secre-
tary read the objection submitted.

Of 25 to A, strict party voc. sherman

Costly journalism.

At the close of the war the New York
Herald enlarged its corps. Correspond
ents were sent through every State in
the South, and the changed condition OF
affairs was written up. Then Stanley,
with a corps of assistants, went with the
Anglo-Abyssinian expedition, and the
English journals credited the young
American journalist with the first news
of the most decisive victory of that war.
Upon Stanley's return, the Livingstone
expedition was sent out, and Living
stone, supposed to be dead, was discov-
cred in the heart of Africa. 1t is said
that this expedition, in all ways, cost the
HerdId $500 day for the eleven months
that it lasted. Stanley is now away on
an expedition even more costly than this
one.
After the battle of Sadowa, young Mr..
Bennett had the King of Prussia's speech
cabled entire to New York at a cost OF
81, 900 in gold, for one single dispatch.
The Geographic account of the last Ok
ford Cambridge boat-race cost $500,
and cable dispatches during the Franco
Prussian war frequently went above
So, 900 per day.
Almost every portion of the news OF
the Herald is sent to it by wire. II
publishes the very fewest of letters. II
receives by wire daily an average of -four
columns from Washington, and of one
and half columns each from London
and Paris To cover these three points
must cost for telegraphic tolls alone near
