rive don't credit any OF these sensation

THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
On his being informed that many proml-
nent Democrats had dlsoWned any lnten-
tion 20 engage in mere dilatory proceed
inrs. that tomorrow they would take nc
tion in the Florida case, and that their de-
Inv WINS merely for the purpose OF carefully
examining all the papers rs they appeared
this morning in print, he said he was Siad
TO hear it, Us nothing could be gained Dy
resisting the regular order OF business. lie
was satisfied there, would be no disturbance
NJ the peace, as both parties had committed
the determination Of disputed points to the
Tribunal instituted for that purpose.
THE MOTIVE.
The charge is freely made that purpose
exists on the part OF Il maiority OF the House
TO postponc, under various pretexts, final
action on the electoral count until after the
4th OF March. There is no'authority what
ever for any such statements, and they have
originated entirely in the brains OF those
who have put them into circulation. There
are not a dozen members on the Demo-
cratic side in the House who would sane
ton any such proposition, even If 1t were
seriously made from any authorized quar-
ter, which is not the case.-Specidf TO Bdtf-

TREACHERY. 1885,.
The Democrats charge treachery against
Hoar, Edmunds. or somebody else.-lb.
THEIR PLEA.
The personal friends Of the three RepuD-
lican justices contend that under the Con-
stitution it would be impossible for them to
render II decision different from that which
thew gave, II this be so, If the Constitution
can be used as n cover for the gross and pal
pable frauds which stain all over the Hayes
electoral certificates from Florida and Louis
lana, thon the sooner the Constitution is
amended in that particular the bctter.-Ib.
DE FACTO AND DE JCRE OFFICIALS.
Much reliance is placed by them on de-
cision OF the late Chicf-Justice Chase to the
effect that the acts of de tacto officer,
although ineligible, are valid. The decision
in question was rendered by Chief-Justice
Chase at the May term OF 1869 OF the United
State Circuit Court at Richmond-the
Caesar Griffin case.
[This is gucss-work. Nobody knows
what points will be raised.]
THE RESIGNATION QUESTION.
The question will be presented whether Il
resignation made after the November cleo.
ton, and for the express purpose Of evad-
ing the constitutional disqualihcation.-
CURRENT NOTES.
Judge Campbell has brought with hin,
| from New Orleans certain evidence Of an
extremely important character, which the
Democrats think will be OF great value to
| them.
| It can be stated confidently that the dis
cussions in the Committee q Ways and
Means indicate very positively that nothing
will be done at this session affecting in any
manner either the tariff or internal reyc.
