history. Coming to this country, anl having

homo near Ithaca, where they expected to
quietly spend their days. By a disastrous lire
tome months ago, however, they lost their all,
and now, In their old age, and without rela

sion. The husband Is eighty-one and the wife
but little younger, but both are bright and
well-preserved. Their concern aro said to bo
worthy of cultivated audiences.
The Taclflc coast people appear to bo really

In their opinion, that the vast domain west of
of tho Itocky Mountains, the people of which
have peculiar Interests and a commerce on the
racllle distinct from the Atlantic coast, should
have a volco In the National Council,
It may be said In their favor that they are an
energetic people, who have proved loyal to
the country, and who havo been of valuable
assistance to the ltepubllcan party In the last
campaign. Governor McCorcuicx, of Arizona,
lias a host of friends In that section,
who aro strongly recommending his selec

this clslm of the Pacific Coaat, and select Gov

Tha last rote of any Importance; to bo
taken by the Electoral Commission Has
been cut, and the result has gone to tho
country. There Ii no longer any doubt at
to the Presidency, and' the question ot the
character of the -next Administration de
pends upon nothing but ill own policy and
conduct Tho great body of the pcoplo
will be gratified that the party whole loy

of the Government when assailed by vio

executive, trust, and that front among Its
most distinguished leaders one of the ablest

Union remains to bo done. After years of
vain effort, because erroneously directed,
tho two divisions 0! tho people which mot on
the field ot battle to contest tho question of
Us further continuance, now confront each
other In tho arena of politics In open and un
concealed hostility, upon tho subject of Its
proper government. Borne of the Southern
States, after a lapse of more than the tenth
of a century of questionable peace, find
themselves as completely and effectually
under Northern domination, by civil
means, as they were during tho war by
military power; and they complain with
reason, that while they are chiefly inhabi
ted by native-born citizens, and geograph
ically and nominally Southern States, they
aro controlled by strangers and rendered
in character, Northern States, by reason of
the sentiments and opinions of their rulers.
And while they could not legitimately
complain of this fact, if the change had
been brought about by the ordinary course
of immigration, there is sufficient Justifi
cation for remonstrance against govern
ments originally established by military
power, and slnco kept in being by a
union of objectionable elements unknown

There Is some sympathy felt personilly
for the better class of men who have settled

Tor filly years, there has not existed the
opportunity for tho Southern people to
benefit and develop that section of the
country, that is about being offered them.
We mean this, in exity sense, political,
material, financial, tic. A President is
about being Inaugurated who sends to the
people of the South these most important
and assuring words. "Assure any ofour
Southern friends, that I am impressed with
the necessity of a complete change of men
and policy. I shall stand by tho Ideas
outlined in my letter of last summer."
This, more fully interpreted means, not
only the cntiro right ol self-government,
but also a large and liberal policy In re
spect to matters ot internal Improvement,
of which the South stands In most press
ing need. Except at Intervals, amost per
nicious policy on this latter question has
held sway in our national councils, for
long years, to the utter ruin of our foreign
commerce and internal development. Wo
trust this disastrous policy will be speedily
changed. It Is indeed little less than na
tional suicide.
There are hundreds of leading, patriotic
men at the South, capablo or rising far
above the miserable party politics of the
hour; let all such, then, hasten to strike
hinds with the conservative men of the
North, on the one question of building up,
and the work is fully half done. Be assured,
the backbone of the entire country Is with
you. l'ay no heed to the Ignorant gabble
of ten cent politicians, or the ranting! of

and South, enact the laws needful to make

President-elect Is near at hand. The De
mocracy opposo the decisions of the Tri
bunal, and are delaying the count. Delay
is dangerous at this luncture, but tho Re
publican Senate can defeat this Democratic
scheme. Its duty Is as clear at the open
face of a cloudless day. It the Democracy
attempt any further delay of tho count
to day, then the Senate holdt the destiny
of the nation. The Prettdent or tho Sen

Mr. LDMUNDSraisod the point of order, that
the Senate has nothing to do with tha testimony
under tho law creating tho Lltotoral Oommls.
Mr. SHERMAN called Tor tho reading or tbe
law, which was read.
Xtlr.MLItlUMUN inMltwas reryplaln that
although tbe Commission would not recetro tes
timony. It was competent ror the Senate to
receive It.
Mr. EDMUNDS read the law saying tbat this
decision or the Commission shall stand unless the
two Houses aro or the opinion that It ought not
to stand, and tbe only action now was for tho
Senate to adopt or reject the decision or tbe Com
mission. Mr.MERIUMON held that the matter could
be recommitted to tho Electoral Commission ana
hare further action on tbe question. How. he
asked. It the Senate to know what the facts are?
Ho wanted tbe facte and tbo testimony laid
before the Senate to see if tbe evidence bean out

Mr. iJAYAKD laid that the twoHonsas must
concur or non-concur In the decision of the Com
mit! ion. He had urged tbat all the facta should

there is to do It to concur or non concur.
Mr. MKItKlMUN said he dlfiered with the Sen

Mr.McCJtEMtY laid the average Amerloan

harder to resist even though tha speech which he
makes cannot In the least a floe t the result, and
now, under the law, In the brier time of ten min

Speculate as we may, and talk as wa please, the
question was settled, and tho arguments aro
closed, swd ha did not know but that It was set

faith in tho Electoral Commission.

Mr. McDONALD deprecated the decision of
tbe Commission In not aolng behind the returns
and Investigating tbe elections. He claimed tbat
the elections In South Carolina, as wall as Flori
da and Louisiana, were:arrled by fraud, and tblt

Mr. MORTON repelled the talk about fraud,
and said that If there bad been a fair election
Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Uaorg-ia, as
well at Loulalana, Florida, and South Carolina,
would have given large ltepubllcan majorities.
He reiterated with boldness and vehemenoy his
former assertions of fraud, murder, and intimida
tion In the South.
Mr. SAUE3HUIIY said wo wero approachina
the end of theconsumalion or a great outrage
and a great fraud, but that thould not deter hfiu
rrom denouncintt; It. The frauds in the South
were Instigated he satd. by high powers, and tbe
expessewas borne by the United States Treas
ury. Mr. Haves will be Inaugurated, but he will
go Into the white House without any title, and
will enjoy a position to which he has no right.
while Mr. Tildcn would feel a pride that the
people had elected him President, although bo
Lad been robbed of Its possession.
Mr. LOOAN said that it was not often that a
parent would strike hit own child, but we hear
saw the Democrats denouncing their pet, tbe

He raid there was considerable talk about fraud
and ha believed there had bean fraud. Yes, he
asked, where can you find a greater fraud than
tbat attempted In Oregon, where tbe name of a
United States senator was attached to It as af
firming It. Sueba fraud was attempted In that
State at would make an escaped convict blush
for shame, and then Democratlo Senators
come here and talk about fraud. He alluded
In severe terms to tbe part played by Senator

tont who were opposing tbe decision or the 00m
mission, and who talked about resisting it, wire
persons who did not love tbelr country, and bad
no patriotism, who would rather see the country
go down In gloom than to tee their hones and

Mr. EATON denounced the decision, and tald
he bad adlspatthfrom twenty-one of his con.

Mr. EATON tald they would resist by all Con
stitutional meant, and he did not Intend to aid la

Mr. SHLKMAN farored the decision, and
thought It was dishonorable for those who favored

Mr. PATTERSON tald the Republicans of
Beuth Carolina did not atk any favors. They were
willing that the Commission should go behind

Mr. MERRIMON claimed that tbe army was
a source oflntimldatloD, and If the toldlert had

more rotes. He tald tbat the negroes wanted to
rote tbe Democratlo ticket, and the toldlert be

The debate on the case waa then opened at tt 10.
Mr. HOOKER, (aMIss.) argued that tha Elec

Seated the expectations or those w bo clothed
them with iKiwer and authority, and ba argued
with a remark made the other day, tbat those
who created the Tribunal were not bound Inlaw
or morals to abide by the finding of the Commit,
lion, became It had not exercised tha Jnrlsdiotlon
It wat clothed with, and had not onqulrod into
tha evidence. Having rerutod to take jurisdic
tion, It had not performed tbe functions of us crea
tion, aad its decisions wtre therefore not binding.'
Mr. L API! AM (N. Y.liold ha had opposed the
Mil on constitutional and parliamentary grounds,
but he felt bound to defend tbe aotlou of the
Commission. Referring to this particular case ot
South Carolina, he tald that he wat one orthe
members who formed one or tha special commit
tee appointed to Investigate a if airs In South Car
olina, and he wanted to call attention to the fact
tbat la tbe report or that Committon they unani
mously declared that Hayes and Whaeler had
carried the State by over SOO majority. One of
tbe members of the Tribunal (Mr. Abbott) was
a member nlso of tho South Carolina Committee.
He signed the report that Hayes bad carried the
Slate, and yet tn tbe Commission he roted not to
count tbe roto for Hayes. And yet the gentle
men on the other side talk of fraud. The only
frauds he had heard of wat the attempt to pur
eriMo electors In Florida and Louisiana, and the
attempt to create one by money In Oregon. The
ctrher dispatches had been deciphered, and they
all point unerringly to Oramerey Park, and yet
Tiloen and Senator Killet say they know noth.
Ing about them.
Mr. OOODE, (Va.), laid the question that now
f resented Itself, waa what thould be done under
hectrcuinatanoes. He believed the Democrats
should do at they would be dona br. They must
accord to tbe Republicans what tha Democrats
would hare demanded unanimously If tbe de
sMilAn ISesi tveaetn In Ifcftlp famr t.at him who htt
been declared the victor have the office, ftr It Is1
lonominateuintne Dona, it wouia do unwise
and unmaaly to violate tno law or to attempt to
reverse tha verdict of the Tribunal by any in
direct meant. Mr. Ooona eontrasted the tit
nation of South Carolina now with what the
wai yean ago.
Mr. LAURENCE. (Ohio,, la alludlor to tho
charge made before the Cora miss loo yes
terday, that fraud was practiced tn South
Carolina on acoount of the presence, or
troops, showed that aut of tha whole number of
tooopt there, there wai about one loldlor to every
700 of tbo white inhabitant! or the State.
Mr. HANKS (Mass.) argued that there was a
necessity for the presence of troops tn South Car
olina, for the committee who went there bad found
tbat what wera called tbo citlien military were
bandt of armed white men, who were hostile to
the State government at well at to the United
States Oorernment as It existed,
Mr. PHILLIPS (Mo.) tald tbat the tight who
formed tho majority or the Tribunal
had achieved an Immortality ol Infamy.
Ha charged that Mr. Hoau had de.
calved tbe House by hit speeches before the bill
wat passed, and asserted that It could not bavo
been passed If It had been understood tbat no
proof would ba admitted.
Mr. WALLACE fS. O.) denied the charges of
fraud made against the Republican! of South
Carolina. Alluding to tho remarks of Mr. Oooni,
be told there were grave doubtt on his side of the
House, and among tome Democrats, whether he
(Uoodx) was properly elected, and he bad better
look to his own conscience. All that the Hepub
llctni or South Carolina wanted Is a fair cbance.
Mr. RAINEY tald that It wit true that South
Carolina had not now on the floor inch opposert
as tbe old Hare drlTcrt, but the people of the
btate wera well represented. He would not
countenance fraud tn any particular, and ho de
nied that the Republican party of South Caro
lina waa governed by fraud. The colored people
of South Carolina old not hate the Democrat!,
but tbelr oppressors were among them, and they
were glad when a Republican was elected to
Alter further speeches tha SPEAKER stated
the question was now on tho resolution or Mr.
CociittAnx, tbat the objections of tho House to

Mr. WALLINO, (Ohio), mored to amend by
adding tbo words, "in conformity with tho act

Alter the roll had been called once, Mr. WOOD,
(N. Y) tald It waa manliest tbat there were mo
tions pending which would keep tho House hero
all night, lie would therefore make a proposi
tion, which wat that all the motions thould be
withdrawn! that the vote should be taken on the
main resolution that tbe Senate thould bo In
vited to attend, and that tha oountabjuld go on
until Vermont was reached, when tha two Houiet
would again teparate, and a recess would then be
taken until to-morrow at 10 o'clock.
After some discussion the argument wai en
tered Into, Mr, OocBBAKB'a resolution was
adopted, and tbe Senate was notlned accordingly.
The Sinate shortly after entered tbe hall, and
both Houses proceeded with the connttug of the
presidential rote at reported on the first page.
After the Senate retired from the hall
Mr. SPRINOER rose excitedly, and laid: X
raise tbe point of order that thlt is a question to
bo considered by the Commission and not by the
two Houses. (Loud shouts of derisive laughter
and jeering, during which Mr. SraivaaRcontln.
ued to speak for some time, but what he ia!4
could not bo heard, In tho confusion, but a few
feet from him.
When the Speaker succeeded In restoring par
tial order, several gentlemen sought to obtain
the floor, notably Mr. WOOD, (N.Y..) who moved
a recess until lo a.m.
The SPEAKER refused to recognise anyone,
and said tbat In accordance with the previous
unanimous agreement tho House would now (at
7 Is p.m.) tako a recess until 10 o'clock to-morrow,
