The Count of the Electoral Vote.
NEW YORK, Jan. II.

NEH lOhhi Jan. "a.
The Worlds Washington special ssys 1t
can be authoritatively stated that the confer
ence committees Of the two houses in a
plan to verify and count the electoral vote
have virtu ally agreed. One feature of the
method thus far agreed on proposes a tri-
bunal of arbitration, composed Of the first
five judges of the supreme court, to be Sc
lecled in the order of their length of SER
vice. To this arbitration arc to be referred
all questions of law and equity, the dccis-
ion to be final u0less rel tcted by the con-
current action of both houses. The Sun
tays Judge Clifford is TO preside over the
tribunal. The five judges will be Clifford,
Swayrc, Miller, Davis and Field two repub-
~licans, two democrats and one indeperd-nt.
The Times Gays the impression is common
that there will be no agreement. The opin-
ion is rapidly gaining that it is not only the
right of the president Of the senate to count
the electoral votes, but his imperative duty.
The Tribune reports that The prospect of
agreement Of the committees is better than
ever before.

"What Is the present status, according to

ner provided by the laws Of the state is ig-
nored by leaders Of armed men, and all
public places are filled 10 the same manner
that characterized the alleged appointments
to the supreme court. Ir the meantime
the process of law is paralyzed, no busin ess
Is transacted in the courts, and but little
done In the market"

Of last night, to-day sent him a conmuni-
cation setting forth that he made 10 re-
quest for the maintenance of statu quo, but
simply suggested in the interest of peace
that some understanding be entered into by
which slatu quo could be guaranteed until
the president made his decision, thus doing
away with the necessity Of keeping up a
body of armed men on either side, and d.
minishing the chances Of violence and

ticket is $40 in Spanish bank bills, making
one million of dollars paid into the lottery

Thus the Government obtain, fortalghtly
