rion, the States of New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Caro Una and Ohio. The presiding officer then opened and handed to the tollers the certificate received from Oregon, which waa read, and proved to be the sworn certificate of three Haysx elec- erata present at the conference In Speaker Randall's room last evening admit they agree to offer an amend ment to the army bill, to fix the maximum at 17 000 men, and to provide that none of the troops shall be ued to uphold either of the two governments in Louisiana or South Carolina, but deny any aUeiipt iouereat too electoral count by fi libastering. At three o'clock the electoral commission took a recess of a half hour, to allow time for Senator Thurman to be sent for, prior to taking the vote upon the question whether the three republican votes of Oregon should be count the case in question, and advanced several new and important points. The democratic counsel, as well as their legal possessions, change with every new caae. Merrick is the only one who has appeared in all their cases.

Black, O'Connor, Trumbull and Carpenter have disappeared. Carpenter was engaged for the siugle argument in the Louisiana case, and for that work be received, according to report, $1,500. The republicans have held the same legal positions from the beginning, and Evans and Matthews remain as" counsel.

February 24. The DM it id in own power to en ec mace say unlawful or revoinuonary move-ment the democrats in the Hons may make to prevent the election of Hye. The ronstltutlon presents no way by which the President can hold over, or atiyi'ody elae become President in caae of fitilure to elect, unless a vacancy exist previously. The way out of thr difficulty therefore is for Grant to resign, even if only an hour before thr expiration of his term. Ferry would then indisputably hold over.

A Tribune's Washington special ays, the report of an intrigue with Conkling and Randall is confirmed. It is asserted the democrats depend upon Coukliug to prevent the Presid-nt of the 8-nate from oneninsr the runaii.insr cen ideates, and that en the 3d of next moD'h he is to ut- elected President of the Senate, by a combination between the democrats and eight or ten republican rotes which he expect to control. He would thus become President of the United States for one year, and with his inordinate vanity, he would fe-1 onfident be could secure the regular election next fall. New York, February 23 -The President having prohibited a parade yesterday of the reorganized rifle and sabre clubs, Columbia, South Carolina, passed the day in -gloom. From the stars and stripes Heated at half must, drape-i with black crape.

The same insfcnia was observed in many other porti his of the city. New York. February 22 A Tribune's Washington special says Chandler declares he has no interest in the suppressing of bank accounts. Nothing his accounts have been published, because there was no scandal. The democrat having investigate I the republican accounts to their hearts' content, bow beg humiliatiniily that Til-den's account be not looked into.

Tii-den will probably be taken at his word, and summoned. The republicans have the report of Tilden's campaign und. At the opening of the canvas it wan $800,000, $600,000 of. which was furnished by the candidate for the presidency himself. The whole amount expended by the republicans is asserted lo have been not more than $150,000.

The democrats are engaged iu a con-npiracy to prepare a bill looking to a new election next spring, declaring the Secretary of 8 ate or Ferry president urn Tlie fheme is to be presented in caucus and if overruled, the revolutionists will go on any way. A Herald's Washington special says there is more excitement thau ever over the Louisiana case. A renewed attempt is made to gather force enough on the democratic side to delay the count of vote until after the 4th of March; Those who favor tW movement were buy all this afternoon in the House, putting their 'plans and ideas before the members, ami this eveninga meeting wag called at Randall's house, to talk the matter over, with the intention to form a definite plan, and gatherenough adherents to carry it in the caucus, which will be called to meet as soon as the Oregon decision becomes known, in case it is adverse to the democrats. Letters re ceived here by members or congress and others, trom new orK and the West, show that a good deal of irritation and excitement exist in those sections. Shrewd lawyers among the democratic extremists among them Field have been busy for some-days examining the law, with a view to see bow its intention and eplrit can be evaded, and Field declares to-day it could undoubtedly be done.

Those who favored delays of this kind did not number more than forty, and were discouraged because their number was constantly decreasing, but to-day tbey seemed lo receive some accessions of strength, and they evidently hope the irritation which would follow the unfavorable decision in the Oregon case will strengthen their force to-day. New York, February 21. A Times Washington special, speaking of Ksl-ley, says, "He made an incoherent argument against the Hayes electors, and curiously though, in view of his telegrams from Oregon to Tiideu and Pelten, talked a great deal about honesty, truth and justice. The principal and Indeed the only point be made wAi that each Slate In the Union has a right to appoint its presidential electors In its own way, and according to its own laws. When it is remembered that this very fact is clearly proved by the republican counsel in the Louisiana case, it will be seen that Kelley's one point is a very original, bat not important one.

Senator arunkil nreaented objections to the certificate of Cronin, Miller and Parker; Kelley presented objections to the r-tificate of Cartwright.Odell and Watte; Lawrence presented further objections to the certificate of Cronin, Miller and Parker.

All objections to the certificates having ben presented, they were referred to the electoral com. mission, and the Senate retired to its own chamber. The grand jury found a true bill against Donn PUtt, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. At the session of the sub-committee on Louisiana affairs, Senator Howe pre-iding, Honore, Secretory of State of Louisiana, was present with large packing case and commodious carpet lag, containing the returns of twenty-two challenged parishes, together with papers and affidavits attached thereto.

Quid nuncs have been busy making a cabinet lor uovernor nayes ever since the decision of the Louisiana sase insured his inauguration, but intimate friends of the President elect ridicule the confident tone nearly all the speculations already put forth, and assert positively that Hayes will not de termine upon any cabinetappoint-ments until after he shall have had full opportunity for consultation with the leading republicans of the country subsequent to his inauguration.

The Senate concurred in the amend ments of the House to the bill ratify ing the agreement with certain bands of Sioux, Arrapahoo and Cheyenne Indians, and bill passed.

The reason given for the President's Interference to prevent a military ob servance of Washington's birth day in Charlestown, South Carolina, is accord ing to official and other representations made to him that serious disturbances from such a demonstration was appre hended, owing to the excited state of parties there, which might extend to other localities.

ban nave anno? nee uteur epiaioa ia favor of counting three republican votes. A motion was made by Clymer to take a recess till to-morrow forenoon at 10 oelo6k, the general understand ing being that the object waa to stave off any further action on the presidential mnnt. u.ku4 the hall that the decision of the commission in the Oregon case was adverse to the democra's. The republicans in- fisted on a vote being taken by yeas and nays. The result was 130 yeas, and 109 nays.

The Louisiana committee of the House have agreed to report a bill re cognizing the Nicholls government for that State. The electoral commission proceeded to the residence of Senator Thurman, and there adopted by a strict party vote of eight against seven, a resolution offered by Senatot Morton, declaring that the votes of Odell, Cartwright, and Watts, the Hayes and Wheeler electors for Oregon, should be counted. The commission previously voted on the- queation' of- the admissibility of Cronlu's vote, and rejected it unanimously. Washington, February 19. The House met and took a recess until the arrival of the Senate at 11 o'clock, when a joint meetiug of congress was resumed to receive the report of the joint commutes nnthe question of the Loui iana tleetoral vote, which report was submitted in writing, signed by a majority of the commissioners, giving thaelectoral vote of Louisiana to Hayes and Wheeler.

After reading, the presiding officer asked if there was any objections to the decision. Gibson presented an objection on the ground that the committee had refused to receive the evidence which had been offered. The paper recites at great length the proceedings of the commission, but the point of it is the rejection of evidence. It Is signed by most democrats of bottrtoiimsrThBTeadtngT)f the paper occupied just an hour. It was the dryest of legal documents, a repetition of the various forms in which the evidence had been offered and refused.

When the reading was ended an opportunity was given members who had not signed the paper to step to the clerk's desk and affix their names. This morning the President was visited by the Attorney General, Secretary of War and Secretary of Stat, and attention given among other things, to the condition of affairs in Louisiana, and also to an article In the Sunday Capitolof Jthls edited by Don Piatt, which was interpreted by government officers as strongly ad vocating violence and defiance of law, and as such was given very serious attention. Subsequent to the interview of the Attorney General with the President, Judge Taft sent for United States Attorney Wells, of this district, with whom he was In long and earnest con-saltation in reference to the same newspaper article. Senator Wallace, to-day, in the course of his speech, was bitterly de nunciatory of the returning board of Louisiana. He alluded to their returns as made by four men, one of whom was too weak to be a knave, another tricky unscrupulous, and a defaulter In public office, a third a sharper who cheats at keno and defrauds his State, and the fourth confessedly guilty and Indicted for forging a dead man's name on, the pay rolls of his Washington, February 21st.

The House met at 10 o'clock, and after reading the testimony to sustain the objection to the electoral vote of Daggett, of Nevada, a resolution was offered that the vote bo counted, ex plaining that the error had been made in describing the office held by Daggett not probable the democratic commis sioners will contend for coontln Cro vote. Thar man, partatmlarly, is on record against the Irgafity of each ft vote, but tliey are-likely to vote to gether that there was no election, and there was no legal filling of the va cancy." A London dispatch states that thirty vessels, many of them with their en tire crews, were lost in a gale on the Irish coast, on the night of the 18th. The area of the storm was exception ally extensive, embracing the greater part of the British Islands and the wholo of northern and central Franee. The violence of the storm was extraor dinary, having only been equalled dur ing recent years by that of the one a few weeks ago. A Herald's Washington special says some of the judges or the supreme court on the commission are receiving abusive anonymous letters, much to the indignation or the deck men of both parties, and an attempt will be made to trace some of these letters, and punish the scoundrels who send them.

An absurd rumor was put afloat here that Coukliug was inclined to oppose the Louisiana decision of the electoral commission, 'find that' Matthews and. Evarts had a long interview with him, In which they pervuaded him not todo it. It can be stated positively that Conkling was absent from the city when the vote was taken, on a business engagement made Home days previously, and he was not interviewed on the Louisiana question by the gentlemen named nor any other. The whole story is a fiction from beginning to end. Now that the presidential struggle is substantially de cided, men begin to review the and in democratic circles the bearings of Tilden's own character and conduct upon his di feat and that of hU party, is frequently discussed.

It is easy to see here that Tilden uever was the choice for the presidential office of the majority of the democratic party. He wig not a favorite among southerners, and was not a man of high character; he Interfered too much in the petty de tails of party management. WASHINGTON. Washington, February 24, 12 m. The electoral commission reassembled in secret session at 10:30, and re-TivtTned In consultation, on.

the Oregon: case ti 1 three o'clock, when the discussion being ended, and Senator Thurman not naving been able to attend on. account of illness, a recess was taken in order to ascertain whether he would prefer coming to the cipitol, or that the commission should proceed. Thurman preferred to receive the commission at his house at four o'clock, therefore the other members proceeded in carriages to his residence. Senator Thurman was found-confined to bed, where he remained during the proceedings of the commission, which was called to order by Justice Clifford, the president. Morton thn offered the following resolution Retolved, That Odell, Cartwright and Watts, persons named as electors in certificate number one, are lawful electors of Oregon, Morton's resolution was then adopted; yeas, 8 nays, 7, as follows Yeas, Bradley, Edmund, Frelinghuysen, Garfield, Hoar, Miller, Morton and Strong; nays, Abbott, Bayard, Clifford, Field, Hunton, Payne, and Thurman.

The decision of the commission was then drawn up and signed by the eight members voting In the affirmative. The commission adjourned to meet in tbjs supreme court room at 12 o'clock to-morrow. Washington, February 23. Evidences accumulate that the minority of the democrats in congress intend to defeat by fillibusterlng the completion of the electoral count before the fourth of March. Their ability to do it is con-carted, nnlesshethmideTtngsijf public sentiment shall deter many who now manifest a fillibusterlng disposition.

The Senate committee on privileges and elections discharged all the witnesses brought here to testify in regard to the Alabama election, and will tomorrow discharge the remaining witnesses from Mississippi. The demo-.
