Enough States cast their votes for Iltiye ud Wheeler to give them 185. just enough for election.

Thin in eludes the volo of Louisiana, Florida ami South Carolina. In Colora do there seems to have been some difficulty in issuing the certificates-The Governor issued certificates to two Republicans uud one Democrat the Republicans did not agree to this arraugetneur, and elected a delegate to fill the vacancy. What tin-result will be cannot be determiued at present. Tbe Next llouse of Representatives. We have carefully compared the tables of the different parties, and give the following, as what we think will be the complexion of the next United States llouse of Representatives Iu 33 States, there is little or no question and their Reprsentatives iu the next Douse will be 112 Republicans aud 125 Democrats.

This leaves five Stites over which there is, still a wide difference in estimates: Republicans claim fiotii Congressmen in Florida, while Democrats only give them one. In Louisiana tbe Republicans claim three while only otie is conceded to thetn. There are good grounds to support us in saying, the Republicans will secure both of their Representatives on tbe official count, although on the face of the returns Democrats are elected, yet there are such unmistakable evidence of fraud on their part as will at the proper time seat tbB legally elected Republicans. South Carolina, Missouri and Pennsylvania, each have a seat to be contested by Democrats, with a faiut hope of success in the two first; while there is little doubt of their having three of the five Congressmen iu South Carolina. New Hampshire has not yet elected her Representatives.

At present tne Democrats have two of the three, this order may bo reversed next March. Now from these figures tbe Democrats still have 10 tusijoii ty, and we have no reason to think this majority can be increased, while it mav bo reduced to six. We have nothing to fear from the 45th Congress with so small a majoiiry they are literally nowcrless to pass anv of their radical measures which at one time we had good reason to believe they would attempt, and with a smaller force of Republicans to oppose them could successfully car ry out. Judge Stanley Matthews of Ohio on the Louisiana Election 1 am nat ii-tied there was not a tree and tail election that in many party of the State the e'ection, nltlioufjli to outward appearances on election day peaceful, was neither free not fair, by reason oi systematic intimidations aud displays of violence carried on prior to that time; that it produced such a state ot allan and apinheiifion and sense of dan ger on the pair of negroes who had been Republicans that they either did not vote at nil on election day, or else voted the Democratic ticket. In one instance, that Fccmcd to 1 1 well understood that a gang of AO or 0 net; ices eie es coiled tothe polltiby mounted white men, armed.

They had been pro vided with Detuociutic tickets, which thvy voted, and then tiled on from the place ot voting, to a iter sou who cave them cii tificates, in writing, that they had voted the Denioialic ticket, iu order that they might have Iheiu for protection. The Democrats deny all these charges ot intimidation, and allege thai what cases of intimidation took place were by Republican uegroet- i lowaicis jjfiiwciHiio negroes, the result, probably, will be statements OU both sides, apparently supKtted by proof, which will In entirely inecouciable, aud each ol which will be at opted by the puili-sansof the patty iu whose favor I In case is. So that the only ground ou which any ono can stand win. hopes for peace is upon I he technical legal right of the board of re turning officers to make the decis ion which seems to them to lie right. Nobody will ever get any ueuiei the tiuth than lhat, and that decis iun ought to be accepted as the vul-id, binding decree ot the only legal ly constituted authority which ie resents government, law, order, uuu peace iu Louisiana.

At this time, when the whole country is interested iu every electoral vote, wo think it desirable, to piesent to our readers (nil account of the pioceedii'gs of the Kleuioml College of our own State, and especially us -question has been made in regard to the election ol one of the number.

On Tuesday, Dec. Bib four of lb. electors, viz: Jacob IS sty of Itrut-I'clmro, Charles E. linii(jlitoii ot llenniugtou, Uoswell Faruhaiu it Bradford uud Alviu C. Welch ol Willistou met lit the State House iu Monlpelier, as requiied by the laws id' Veimout, nnd organized electing IJou.

7th but at that dato he was a Postmaster at Ltridport, bin afterwards resigned said otlico which resignation was accepted and he ilieii held no ollicu of trustor profit under the United States, that In-had some doubts of his right innlfi the ciriiinstances to act as such elector; that ho ie fused to act us such elector, by virtue solely of such ap pointment and so should retire ami neglect to attend. Thereupon Mr. Sollacu withdrew from the room iu which the other elec ors were as seiuhled aud took no part iu theii deliberatioi.s. The Chairman then called the at teuiion of the College to the fuel lhat there was a vacancy in its numbers to be tilled ut thut time, iu placb of Mr. Solace.

The College then filled said va cancy by the election of Mr. Sullace, by a unanimous vote. Lie was then notified and camu iu ami took the oath of oflicc us the other elector had previously done. The meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday morning for the casting of the electoral votes for President and Vice President of tlio U. Slates as provided by the Coustitu i ion and the laws.

On Weduesdy the College met at the State House according to ad journment aud proceeded at once to cast their votes lor President. At this time Mr. Aldrich, one of the Democratic candidates tor elector, appeared and through his counsel. Air. Fisk of Norihtleld, claimed the right to be recognized as a mcuiliei of the Electoial College, and pro tested against Mr.

Solhico being allowed to vote as an elector. An Mr, Fisk seemed to be about to make extended remarks, Col. Furn-hain objected to the time of the electors being taken up by panics outside of their number, us the.v were there for a specific purpose which it was their duly to pci'torm. 1 he votes were then taken lor President aud Vice President and the the electoral votes were declared to be cast for Rutherford B. Hayes ol Ohio for President and for William A.

Wheeler of New York us Vice President. Mr. Aldiiuh offered a vote lor Tildeii as President and for IJenricks as Vice President, but they were not received. The elec tots appointed Hon. George Nichols as heir messenger to convey a certificate of their doings 10 ihe L'resident of the Semite of the Uui ted States as required by law and then adjourned nine die.

Jt was inmoied that Mr. Aldrich remained and organized a meeting by electing himselt chairman, secretary and messenger of his electoral vote to Washington. The papers sent to the President of the Stotes Senate are the certificate of Governor Fairliiiiih that Messrs.

lS7ti, It is said by some that the above certificate sets out all thalMr. A tlrich the Democrutie caudiilate for elector wishes to have appear thai is, that, Mr. Sollace, was a Post Master ut the time of the election, Nov; ith. Undoubtedly the Democrats desire to have, this fact appear, but that is no reason why it should not appear in the certificate ot the elec tors. SSollace was a Post and that fact appeared during the proceedings of the College ami not fioiu any outside testimony, ami so night properly be certified.

Out-ide testimony might have shown hat Mr. Aldrich received the next ugliest number of votes uudntnte likely he woulu desire to have that appear, but the College had liO ulLority to bear evidence. OIK NEW YORK LETTER. PolHIcnl Thunk.BlvIng W'h II veto 'I'll km I POLITICAL, If anybody supposes that the desperate gang of Democrat iu politi clans who, with Sammy Tlldeu ut their head, have any Idea of giving up the contest tor the possession ol the federal spoil, they are inistak en. This veteran schemer began the cainnalgu In iniquity, ho con ducted it with fraud, uud he intends to contest it peaceably, provided he can win in that way, but rather Hum loose it, will resort to force.

Jt iter than not have the control of the Government, these desperadoes would inaugurate new rebellion. The lie factory, known us Tihlen's Editorial liiireau, is as hard at work now us bt fore the election. Its busi tiess now is to fill the press with stories of Itepiiblican frauds, the obiect being to so impress the pub lic iniiid with the idea that liaves is not fairly elected, as to justify he Democrutie House in refusing to recognize him, and to rjivu color to the. rebellion tliey intend to iu auguratc. The headquarters of the concern are here, under libletr per sin, nl control, but they have branch es iu Charleston, Columbia, Talla liussfoaud New Orleans.

The zeal and iuueuuitv iiiauil'csletl won 1. 1 bt admirable were they employed in better cause, lor instance one day i hey telegraphed North from NeiV Oi leans, that Senator Sherman has telegraphed to Hayes lhat the frauds are so apparent thut no hail ueilet at once withdraw, and before this infamous lie is contradicted the.v will telegraph that ex-Governor Dciiuisou of Ohio has telegraphed the same thing to Hayes, and all I he Republicans present, have acknowledged that Louisiana voted for Tildcn and that they nre about to return. Prom Florida they tele- nil similar statements, uud the way they (unite Wade Hampton, and the Souih Carolina rebels tot moderation uud high-toned patriot ism is astonishing. N.iw be it Uuowii that iheso telegrams and statements are conco-jted hero iu New York, that there isn't a word ot truth iu them that S. J.

Tildeii revises every ono of them, and lhat all pass under bis hand before they are re-telegraphed South to be seat tered broadcast over the country. Ot course he knows that they will lie contradicted, but he knows also lhat many will never see the contra dictinu, and that a nasty impression will lie left ou the minds of those who do. it will havo the effect to iusiily 1 1 i i li in what he millennia's to do, to some extent at least, it furnishes catch words to put into the mouths of hU followers. A very smart, man is Samuel J. Tildeii were lie as honest as he is smart he would lie a very useful man instead ol the curse to the world be is.

'Hie Ltepublicans of New York) notwithstanding they are iu a hopeless minority, are not at all frightened at the struggle thus forced upon them They know that Hayes was fairly elected, and they pay no attention whatever to the bluster that is show ered upon them. And the monied portion of tbe Democracy are not aa anxious for trouble as the. place burners are. iu the event ot trim bio their business would first of all and the Democratic merchant has just as sensitive a pocket-nerve as the Republican. When the crisis conies you will see these gentlemen weaken, ami possibly they in ty wish that all along they bad beeu with the party ot law and order.

HIANKKG1VING Is hardly the festival in New York that it is iu New England. Of emiise the leligious people, observe it iu regular way church in the morning and a feast in the afternoon, but for many years it has been the favorite day for target excursions for the military compulses, and there art? hundreds of them. The boys of tbe west i-iile wards iu the city can hardly be supposed to know that in their masked and grotesque processions which it is their fun to get up at this time of the year, they follow an old and excellent custom. Christinas and all holidays in England used to bo usher ed iu with processions of iu. isles and motley costumes, just such for their day as the ward school boys treated as to at Thanksgiving.

The qnit cross-town neighborhoods were roused by the music of a limited baud to see companies ot Harlequins and Dominoes go by followed tii with troops of Continental soldiers in calico uniforms, plantation negroes, aud bodies ot noble red men, got up iu the most savage manner with vast expense of madder red ami Mowing scalp locks the whole procession so masked or whitened and painted that their own uiofhcrs could not know them. It was a bit ot fun lhat suited well ihe temper of the dav. and was certainly belter for the boys than screeching on horns, pelting cats or touching oil' toy cannon and air-guns of a holiday. An hour after, i hey emerged in ordinary dress, with faces scrubbed wonderfully clean, yet not so as to hide suspici ous tracks of red and black about the roots of the hair. WHAT WB HAVE TO BK TIIAUKFCL foil.

Nobody means to suspeud feeling or giving thanks till next year, and it isn't oat of place to remind our selves of some special occasions ol feeling good the present year. Ihere has been talk of war, which has been well checked by the strong hand on the reins of power. Ten 1-ars ago or more, this talk would have been followed by dang roil action, and every woman who reads this may feel glad her sous or brothers are spared to pursue peace ful courses, and the sword which has pierced many woman's hearts within the last decade is turned away from hers also ami, war or no war, we are not, it lslikttlv, to feel the oppression and degradation which muni have followed the election of Tildeii, the tool of all the ignorance and crime of the country New York knows to well what Dem ocratic rule means, ami the lieartv thank God, and the thrill of relief all over the city when the news of liayes' majority was received, after the gloom of the Tildeii accounts, effaced even the depression caused by Hie heavy state of business lor the time. It is true business has been bad in the i ity, and thousands of eoplo are in distress, but bust ness men have worried through somehow, aud there has beeu no more suffering than ia usual. At least we have had no epidemics, the health of tlio dry has been good, and, altogether, if we can't he thauk-ful that we have bad a prosperous year wo can be that it bus beeu no worse.

It was good to tea tbe crowds at the depots of roads lead ing into New England. Every train was f.iicked with people going home lor their annual dinner, and many large merchant left his gorgeous homo on the avenue to sit down to the fat turkey and luscious pump kiu pie in the humble farm-house, from whence, years ago. he came to the great city, a poor boy. livery New liiiglauder goes home for his Thanksgiving, if he never does ut any other time. Business on thai day is suspended, except the ruin-mills, and they are in full blast, the day being favorable to them, as the people, released from labor, Lave nothing to do but to spend the moii ey they Imvo earned.

Uvery dog gery bus its ruffle for turkeys the night before, tit which thirty men isy ten cents each for the chance of winning a dollar turkey, the winner being required to spend at least the value of the turkey in i real ing the disappointed ones, and the losers spending quite us uuith to drown their disappoiiuient. The Dfvil is ingenious, but it does seem us tlio" bis tricks were too thin to deceive anybody, who did not want to be deceived. It is a very grave question bet her holidays are beneficial. Days of rest The merchant, man of a ll'a its, chafes under his euforc ed qtiietude, uud the laboier unfits himself by dissipation for a weekV work. Frequent holidays may be well enough for the French and Spanish, but it dou't do for the American.

DC BIN EM. Of course there is no business now, but it ia reasonable to expect a revival between this and the hob days. And 'hen, for a mouth oi two, we expect lively times. Just as soou as it is settled that Hayes is elected there will be revival in earnest, aud the good times we have been looking tor so long will lie up ou us. Louisiana will fix the mat ter, before this reaches you.

I'KICES OF LIVINO. In the present state of business it is fortunate that living is very cheap. Coal is only half of las veurs prices, aud meats are way down. Thanksgiving turkeys sold for 12 cents per pound, chickens tor and 9, and fruits and vegetables are as cheap as could le wished Good beef can be had for 12 and 15 cents a pound, and every thing else in proportion. Still beef at a cent a pound is dear to the man who has not cot the cent.

The man who has got work at no mutter what wages is comtortatile, but there are, so many out of work. Au adveitise meut for a book-keeper in a mom ing paper, recently, brought over a tliousuu applicants before 10 o'clock I have within a week seen men of ihirty, competent book-keepers, np plying for positions as errand boys at a week.

A special from Moutpelier gives the following particulars of the illness of Gov. Fairbanks: "About two weeks ago Governor Fairbanks was taken with a throat epidemic, then prevailing in Mont pelier to some extent: and which has resulted iu his case, in a spas modic affection of the voluntary muscles of tlio throat, nearly ap preaching lockjaw.

On the 21th of November, it seemed at times as though he could not survive this difficulty.

Not withstanding his critical condition, Governor Fairbanks sat. up in bed and read each bill passed iu the closing hours of the sessiou of the Lesislature. He remains at Pavilion Hotel, attended by the his family physician from St.

Johns bury. Dr. Bowditch of Boston having been summoned, arrived yesterday. He is alarmed at Gov Fairbanks' condition. He thinks there is an abscess iu the throat, Dr.

Bowditch, who is not a surgeon himself, had a skillful one in an ad joining room all last night for the purpose ot cutting the Governor's throat aud inserting a tube when the throat should become entirely clogged, as the doctor feared it might during the night. Abiut midnight his physician gave him a Dovers powder, which lodged in his throat uud caused him to strangle and to have spasms, and for a time it seemed necessary to perform the operation of inserting the tube in the throat to enable him to breathe. The surgeons were summoned, the tube, chloroform and everything were in readiness for the insertion of the tube into the throat, when the Governor recovered and began to breathe again, since which time he has been more The Detroit Free rrese says: We don't want tosay a word agaiiiFt Eastern folks, hut when a waiter at a Detroit hotel brings on a dessert of graes for a New England traveler ho feels coiiielled to whisper, "Dou't swallow the hides."

A cbaiigi in the arrangement of the desks to accommodate the new Senator from Colorado nnd to give Senator who occupied seals under the gallery more desirable ones, was tuiidi by placing three desks upon eithei side of the chamber on the fourth or last platform, which heretofore bus not been used for desks.
