Especial Dispath to the Baltimore Sum-
Progress Of the LJecforai Cossnt-
The Case Of South Carolina.
WAsHfNGroN. Feb. 25.--In the joint
convention of the two houses yester-
day the vote of Oregon, was counted
for Hayes. In the separate discussion
in the two houses on the decision of
the electoral commission the most no.
table speeches were made by Senator
Whyte. of Maryland and John Young
Brown, Of Kentucky. Both of these
gentlemen advocated carrying out the
provisions of the electoral bill 10 the
end, while at the same time they de-
nounced in the most vigorous and elo-
quent language the cheat and the fraud
which has been practiced upon the
people. The House refused to take Q
recess until after the discussion on the
Oregon case, and the objection to the
alleged ineligible electors in Pennsyl-
vania, which 1t was known were to be
made. The count will proceed to-
morrow until South CarolIns is reach
ed. when it will be referred 70 the cleo
toral commission, 1t is understood
that such Of the counsel on the demo-
cratic side who DO not live here have
already left for home. and the Hon.
George w. Julian, of Indiana, who has
not heretofore appeared may he the
only counsel who will appear for the
democrats in this case. The ground
Of objections to the Hayes South Caro-.
lima vote have heretofore been stated,
The commission will conclude its de-
cision either tomorrow night or early
Tuesday morning, and Its labors will
then be terminated. ,',.. ,..f, h.
! r GOING FOR A NEW RLECTIoN- ur7-
The W Washington Union of to-mor-
row will come out in double loaded
editorial in favor of new election for
President, and the stoppage of the
eiec,oral count. The tone of COM
ment tonight is, however, 10 the eff
feet that under the ruling made by
Speaker Randall yesterday and which,
by the way, was great surprise TO
most every one. it viii not be possible
for dilatory motions to make much
headway. Several of the leading
Seuthera democrats here said to le.
publican members to-day that they
will oppose any further dilatory mo
tions.
sf THE NEW ELECTORAL BILLS.
In regard to the two bills providing
for new election and for the insti-
tuition of quo waranto proceed
ings on the part Mr.. Tilden, it is
now ascertained that in all probabili-
ty they cannot command the united
support of the democrats, as several
OF the latter express the opinion that
therel is no authority in the constitv-
ton for the passage of either bill. The
appropriation bills are all in very good
condition, as most of them are now in
conference committees. After the
South Carolina case is decided by the
there canibe no legislative
business done until the electoral count
is completed. This of itself is sufii-
cient to defeat Mr.. Fields TWO bills.
THE POLICY OF HAYES.
Aletter was received here tonight
from Gov. Hayes, in which he says
that he will stand faithfully to The
policy of moderation and Cancellation

The three democratic Representa-
tives from the Chicago district re-
ceived by telegraph to- lay resolutions
passed last night by the democratic
executive committee Of Chicago, urg-
ing them to do all ia their power to
secure new election and to prevent
the accession to the presidency ofa
man whose title lie trainted with fraud
and befouled with crime.
THE SENATE REPUBLICANS,
The Senate republicans will hold n
caucus early in the week TO decide de-

ceedings to counteractany movements

other side.
