the Haves certificate was irregular because it db
not state that the electors ha<l voted by ballot
The duty, of closing the case thus shift

venerable - and eccentric .lodge Buck. Hebegai

Ii wo* abuiit ?_' o'clock when the Commission went
into secret session. A ?binge of Democratic talk
was poured oui for tbe ei idem parp?se ol eonsamiag
time until the lli'tise adjourned, so that the report
could oot be made to-day. First. Mr. Huntofl spoke
an hour. Then Mr. Abbott spuke for nearly
?m long a time. Then Mr. Bayard spoke
for an hour, and linallv Mr. Kernan used
un all the time remaining except 1". minutes until
6o'clock, when it had hem agreed that the vote
should be taken. The first argument of the Dem??
crata was that the Haves certilieate should be
thrown out because it did not state that the electors
had voted by ballot. After aa hour and I hilt ?peal
on tins miserable pettifogging technicality, Gen.
I,.iitn Id and Mr. Hoar read tin- statute oi 1792,
which Bteocribee tha formol certificate and which
does not require thai it should include ? state?
ment that the voting was by ballot
.\ttir tins the Daaaoerata shifted their
ground, and declared that the election waa Invalid
because, troopa were sent into the Male without
the Legislature Bailing for these, aid were atatioajad
mar the ?Milling plans. The Republican?, inter
iopted this argument to read the constitutional
pio.i.ion requiring the President to furnish troops
on application of a (?overiior, and the clause in the
Reconstruction act which empowers him to employ
th.- army to keep the peace at the polls. The? laut
argument fOfagted to by the Democrats concerned
the failure to enact a registry law, the employ ment
of ('tilted States marshals, ami the general lawless?
ness prevailing in the Mate.

WasiiinukiN, Feb. 27.?Speaker Randall
roaded through tho House to-day David Du
Fii Id's bill to encourage filibustering. It prov
that in cane the onto ol Preaideot beeoaaeo vai
through the failure of the two houses to 10001
and declare the result of the election, or from
other cause, the President of the Senate, or, if tl
be none, the Speaker of the House, or,
that Office is vacant, then the Secretary
State, shall act as Preohlenl until a new dec
shall take place. The peaoOgO of this import
mea one occupied less than an hour, and was m
possible only by a series of, to say the least, 1
doubtful rulings by the Speaker. In the Int a]
the point of order was made, against it hy Mr. 1
?Tintil of Illinois that 1'rortor Knott's commit
from which Mr. Field reported it, had never I)
authorised to report by hill; and even if it I.
that the subject matter of the hill had DC
been referred to it. ?pnokof Randall overruled t
point, sayiogthat tbe committee undoubtedly I
the right to report at any time, and it made
especial difference whether it reported by hill
otherwise. As to the question whether the Sllbj
mai ter had been referred t .> the committee or not,
decided thai this was one of those questions of hi
constitutional privilege that it was in order at. I
time, whether the rules of the House forbid or I
and that it waa lor the House itself to deterni
when si:,h an occasion arose.
The next objection was based on I'ule 110. Wfa
.provides that all bills shall have three sopar
readings, and that 00 two readings of any m OOP!
shall take place on the same day. Nobody was a
to understand exactly how Mr. Hunda!) got overt
rule. The first ami second readings were ordered
a vote of the House, and when the third readi
was proposed the point of order which was made
Mr. Wilson of Iowa w;w coolly ignored. Mr. Fie
at tbe earnest solicitation of BOUM of tic Regt
lieatis,condescended to allow ir> minntee* debate
each side, which was afterward extended ."? or
minut?e. Ko very striking points were made in t
brief discussion that followed, and the bill w
agreed to by a srn.-ill majority.
The Speaker's haste to force the bill thron
the intermediate parliamentary stages to
tinal vote lends color to the theory of certl
Sepublicaoa thai tins bill in some mysterious way
to afford O pretext in the Senate for the defeat
the Presidential count, aad the election io the Pre
dency of" tbe Senate of some one whom t
Dem?crata, uniting with a few Bepnblicai
are willing to support. Mr. Meal of Ohi
a Democrat, iu his speech in opp
sit ion to the bill, admitted that sin
theories were entertained by the Derooeral
for be warned his colleagues that again they we
being deluded by a snare similar to that in Wbh
tiny were t aught by the passage of the Fleeter
bill, and that tin person to he chosen President i
the Senate would not be the Senator of their choie
hut would be Oliver i'. Morton of Italiana. HecloM
bis speech by saying that he would prefer tin
Rutherford B. Hayes should be Preaidenl of tl
tinted Mates for four yens than that Mr. Morte
should be Preaidenl Eat lour mouths, four weeks, t
four days.
Some of tbe Democrats belonging to the revoli
tioiiary etique still predict that Mr. Haves will tu
be Inaugurated. They undoubtedly base tins boa
on some action which they expect the Se?ale t
lake. Some of th" more enthusiastic of them at
asserting to-night that as many as thirteeo li?
publican Senators have been fourni who wi!
mut?? with the Dem?crata in the eelectio
of a Republican President of the Senate
sud common rumor says that Mr. Conkliug is to b
tbe man. Among these thirteen are na.ned all th
Sont hein Republican Senators, including live who*
lei ii.s expire on the 1th of March. Two of thca
thirteen bave indignantly denied to-day thai the
bare entertained any such conspiracy, and they in
liiii.it.- that it would not he safe for am
person even to suggest it to them. Then
may have been :i time when a few of tin
Southern Republican Senators might have beat
induced to enter into sin h an arrangement, but now
tiiat the inauguration ot Got. Daves 008030 posi
lively assured, they would have everything to lost
and uothiog to gam by such a course. So far at
rumor connecta tho name of Senator Cockling with
this movement, hut friends deny again to-day, with
"ie.it emphasis, that the story is anything except a
slander.
There is no danger, bowVrer, that Mr. Field's hill
will ever poos the Senate. The Democrats who are
managiog thai revolutionary proceeding desired to
have tins bill retened to the Committee on the Ju?
diciary, oi which Mr. Conkling, during Mr. Fd
muuil-'- service on the Electoral Commission, is
acting chairman. For oome unexplained reason they
have eoofidently believed that that committee
would make a favorable report on the measure,
and that thus fortified it might be adopted
by the Senate. The Republicano were not to
be caught napping, however. As s?sui as the hill
was received in the Senate it was sent without dis?
cussion to the Committee OB Privileges and Flections,
of which Mr. Logon is acting chairman during Mr.
Morton's service on the Electoral Commission, if
there was any doubt aa to ita fate ?n the Judiciary
Committee- there certainly M none as to what will

ing when, ai about "> o'clock, thoj HMUred 0 recess
of the House until It) o'clock to-morrow morning by
a majority of one rote Obtained after much ctiort.
When the result of tins vote was announced there
was loud dapping of hands among them, in which
man) of the pages and assistant doorkj-cpen? joined
with much rest.
The revolutionists assert to-night that their

two reaoIiitii.il? providing for the recognition of the
Nicholbt (iovcriiment in IvOtiiaiana ami the Hampton
Government in Sonfh Carolina. The rotee on these
two resolution? were simply such a? might have
been cx[M-rted. The resolutions were not introduced
because it was suppose?! that they couid he passed
by tbe Senate, or that it was in the
power of the House to recognize either of these
(ioverninents if it felt eo disposed ; but they were
offered HUnply as? piece of political claptrap such as
dcniaifoiriicM a? both soles of the Mouse are in the
habit of springing, that ia for ?fleet. The negative
retan cast by the Republicans therefore did not
m all cases expresa tho opinions held by BfcMabOH of
that party touching the vexed questions in the
Southern States. They simply. voted No he-rail?
they believed that the best policy to lie pur?

to allow matters to temain in tloii sangen! condi?

that ho may announce and put info seat .tion ssjgtj

"Some of our friends urge that in the last resort
the President of the Renate must count the remain?
ing votes and declare, Haye? elected. This the
House would tieal as ultra circe on the authority of
Conkling and Edmunds and others, who so un
aeoM 'arily yielded that ground, and proceed to elect
Tilden. Another suggestion is that (?iaut n-tugu,
and be suceded hy the President af the Senato,
and of course there are all sort? of guesses as to
who will ho choseii to 111 thai place, one af them
being that Haves lie elected President M the Senate,
and m sneeeed Qrant, calling an extra session, and
repealing the a. t of lT'.'L', which requins an election
in November following Bach a ceatlngeney,
"It is th? belief of aaaay in Washington?in which
I shan?that BBlcM a strong current of puhlio
opinion makes itself felt ami heeded in the House,
there ia not moeh hope of a Mthtfaotitfj lad mm
issue; that good citizens of both panics should
promptly unite in urgent appeals to tin ir represen?
tatives to gu on and finish the count.
M Unless we look fat more from Randall than he
has so far given us a ri^ht to expect, even a resolute
minority of tin-Mouse, skillfully led, may certainly
defeat ihe in,in.late of the Constitution aud the law
commanding the votes to he counted. Rut my
greatest fear ia that tho malcontenta may have a
majority of the House, now that Field'? bill is parsing
that body."
