committee adopted, the democrats
will have no other recourse than an
appeal from his decision. and although he
cannot vote upon the question of sustaining
his own decision it cannot be overruled ex-
cept by majority vote, tie vote upon ap-
peals being equivalent to minority vote. 1t
is furthermore questionable how Judge Davis
would vote upon such an appeal. He will
vote with the Democrats to retain
the present organization, but on the point of
parliamentary law above suggested he might
very possibly vote with the Republicans.

men of New York and Brooklyn yesterday
delivered sermons on the result of the late

Rev. j. Hyatt Smith, elected to Congress
from the Fourth District in place of Simeon
B. Chittenden, said to his congregation, in
the Lee Avenue Baptist Church, at the SER
vice last evening:
l was a candidate for Congress, and have been
elected. In ali the time OF the canvass | have
scrupulously avoided the mention of politics from
this desk 1t was the furthest from my intention
to sound political doctrines from the pulpit where
tofore the rein of the Lord Jesus Christ has been
preached. was put in nomination to represent
the Fourth Congressional District by no solicitation
of my own. l believe it to be by the voice of the
people that have been called to serve in the coun

Garfield Free from Entanglins Alliances.
CHICAGO, November Sth.-The Times Co.
lumbus special says: Governor Foster has
been interviewed, and said "Garfeld's NOM
nation at Chicago left him absolutely free
from entangliDg alliances. l am satisfied
that he has not made single promise to any
living man. l believe he will select his Cab
met from perfectly reliable Republicans. He
will seek out competent and worthy Repub-
licans in the South, and give them honors and
emouments. He will not seek to popularize
his administration by appointing Democrats
to office. The South did not give him a
vote, and he has no debts to pay in that quar-.
ter. don't think he will make any speciality
of civil service. His administration will be
somewhat stalwart."
Hancock and the "Frauds."
New YORK, November 9th-A. M-The
Herald says: There is no truth in the story
that Hancock has written a letter in regard
to the charges of fraud against the Republic
can leaders in the late election, and the pro-
posal by the Democratic leaders to unearth
this alleged fraud, with view to rejection
of the electoral votes of this State, and thus
by throwing upon the House of Representa-
tives the election of President, secure the
election Of Hancock. He has written
no such letter, aud, as stated to Herald re-
porter last evening, does not propose to take
any part in any such controversy. The cleo
ton has taken place, and the supposed re-
suits have been duly promulgated. If this
result is changed, and he is declared elected
on account of frauds vitiating the late cleo
ton, his duty in the premises will be very

The "sun" on the So Scheme"
NEW York, November 9th-A. MA Sun
editorial says: We hear some talk about tax
ing away the Electoral vote of New York
from Garfield, to whom it belongs, and giving
it to Hancock to whom it does not belong.
Garfield was legally elected. If he lives till
March 4, 1881, he will be inaugurated. New
York was counted for Hancock before cleo
ton day largely on the strength of Kelly's
pro.estations. Since that day, and on the
strength of cold facts, it has been counted
for Garfield. 1t is not likely to be counted
for Hancock again at present
