Special TO the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-Tilden' S
friends in Washington are greatly
pleased with his victory in New
York. They speak of it unreserv-
edly as victory, and claim that he
will either be nominated at Cincin;
natl or name the nominee. In other
words, that he will rule the roost,
1t is said that he will knife Bayard,
and that this gentleman, therefore,
has no chance Of getting the nomina-
tion. The opinion is gaining ground
here constantly that Tilden will be
nominated himself. Many southern
men say that this will break the
solid south and destroy the hopes
of the democratic party, but they
fail to indicate how and by whom
he is to be defeated at Cincinnati.
Tilden's friends now claim New
York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and
Georgia, which will give him 172
votes to begin with, saying nothing
of other states. His friends here
are in high spirits, and already fig
ure out his nomination. They are
less successful, however, in figuring
out an election.

WASHINGTON, April z

w AohlNSIUN, ApIA 80.
Senator Beck (Ky) said it appearet
from record that the joint resolution
passed yesterday by the house ac'
cepted the, desk of Thomas Jeffer
son in the name of the United
States, while that passed by tn,
Senate accepted it in the name o
the nation. He hoped that tn,
house resolution would be the on,
sent to the donors.
The vice president stated that bui
one resolution had been passed
namely, the one originating in the
house. If the record showed differ.
emily, it was a typographical error.
On motion Of Senator Maxey
(Tex.) the post route bill was taker
up, read the third time and passed.
The senate then resumed consid
GRAFTON Of the resolution declaring
Spofford entitled to the seat now
occupied by Senator Kellogg.
Senator Bailey (Tenn.) spoke in
support of the resolutions, arguing
that the Kellogg Spofford contest,
although it had been once passed
upon by the senate, was not res ad'
jiudicata in such sense that it could
not be reopened. The decisions
of the senate were political,
not judicial, and the senate was
not bound by the rules and meth
DDS of courts. 1t was bound only
by principles Of honor and justice.
After citing numerous precedenta
which, however, were not in all re-
spects parallel with the present case,
Senator Bailey said that the State
of Louisiana was entirely unrepre-
sented in the Senate; that the body
chpretended to elect Kellogg was
not a legislature at all. The fact
that the Senate once recognized it
did not legalize it. No power could
legalize it except the power of the
State itself, and the State had re-
iected it. In conclusion, Senator
Bailey reviewed the testimony taken
by the committee, and said it proved
conclusively the utter worthlessness
of the Packard legislature.
Senator Kellogg (La.) said he
wished Senators who should
hereafter speak in fayer Of
the resolutions to address
themselves to point which he held
to be fully established, namely, that
the Nichols legislature did not have
a quorum of members in the lower
house elected upon the face of the
retnrns by the democratic party's
own showing during the whole term
of sixty days.
Senator Jonas La.) then obtained
tee floor, but preferring to speak to-
morrow, allowed the resolutions to
be informally laid aside.
Senator Ransom IN. C.) from the
committee on railroads, reported,
with amendments, but without re-
commendation, the senate bill to
