THE ELECTORAL COMMITTEES.
Roth the Senate and House committees to
determine the method OF counting the

feeling OF harmony existing in both COM

ANOTHER DISQUALIFIED ELECTOR.
Prominent Republicans here have in
formation to the effect that Mr.. John tt.
Moore, Democratic clector in the Seventh
district OF Tennessee, is disqualified because
OF the fact that he was a cadet at. the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, and subsequently
performed service in the Confederate army,
and that said disabilities have not been re-
moved by Congress.
TIE MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY OF THE TREASURY.
Judging from the exceeding reticence OF
the Treasury detectives and principal OIL
cials of the Department the mystery attend
ing the recent robbery Of money sent from
the cash-room increases instead OF being
unrayelled. Private detectives are at work,
in addition to the force Of secret agents be-
longing to the Department. The lips OF all
are sealed as to what course is being pur-
sued, or who, il any parties, are particularly
suspected.
THE ELECTORAL DISPUTE.
WASHINGTON, January 4.-There is more
hopeful feeling tonight among the lead
ing Democrats that satisfactory ad-
iustment OF the differences between the
Senate and House in regard to count
ing the electoral vote will be reached
by q plan which has not yet been
disclosed. Senator Bayard, who is in po-
sition to know the sentiments OF all the
members of the Senate committee now
considering this question, has given out
assurances to-day that the outlook is
one OF promise, and that there is fair
probability OF an agreement i'll the commit
tee as to the policy to be pursued. The
House committee was in session for some
time, but all the members were pledged to
secrecy, and although they were piled with
questions by their colleagues as to what
transpired no definite answers were re-
turned. Some of the members dropped in
timations, however, that the ditferenc es be-
tween the Republican and Democratic men,
bers, NO far as developed, were of such a
character rs to cause doubts whether
any proposition would receive the support
of both sides.-SpeciaI to the Baltimore

Judge Black was partially read through.
without having finally approved OF the re-
port drawn up, or agreed to the provisions
OF its terms, an adjournment was had until
tomorrow, when final decision Will pro-

very reticent regarding their probable ac-
ton there is good ground for believing that

THE RADICAL CONSPIRACY.
The speech OF Mir. Wright, in the Senate
Yesterday, is generally regarded by Demo-
Gratis as declaration of war. He left the
impression on the minds Of his hearers that
the Republicans OF the Senate will insist on
the right OF the president OF that body to
omen and count the votes, and that it is
their determination to elect and Inaugural ate
Mr.. HAYES at all hazards. His remarks
are characterized as exceedingly unjust and
intensely partisan. There can be no doubt
whatever but that the Senate will insist on
the count taking place in its own chamber,
and its employees are now acting on that I'M
derstanding. One OF them innocently re-
marked Yesterday that he supposed troops
would be placed in the Senate wing toepre-
serve order. In fact, it looks now as If the
intention is to repeat at the CaPitol what
has been done twice by Kellogg in Louis
lana. That President Grant is furtherlng
this conspiracy is very evident from the re-
marks made by him with regard to the re-
moval OF arms from st. Louis, even II
other evidence was wanting.
By his direction the Secretary OF War has
ordered the removal from Jefferson bar
racks, st. Louis, to the Rock Island arsenal,
of $4,000 stand OF small arms. And fur
ther, while Missouri is denied the ordnance
and stores due her from the Government
for her militia, the State artillery companies
of Iowa, manned By Republicans, have been
ordered to be supplied abundantly with
powder, canister, and grape-shot. This q
