THK PBESIDEHTIAL OUTLOOK.
We hare reached another stage in the
proceedings which legally ensue a Pru
dential election. The Presidential else
ton of all the States met yesterday at
their respective 'State capitals, as re
quired by the Constitution, and, cast
their Totes for President and Vice Presi
dent. One hundred and eighty-four
regular and uncontested votes were cast
for Tilden and Hendricks, being within
one of a majority. In Oregon, where
the Hayes electors had a majority of the
popular vote, it was claimed that one oi
them named Watts was ineligible by
reason of being postmaster, an office of
profit at the time of his election. The
Supreme Ccnrt of Oregon has held in a
similar case the ineligibility of the can
didale. The question aiises and is yet
to settle whether this creates a vacancy
to be hlled by the retBainder of the col
lege of electors or elects the candidate
on t'ue opposite ticket receiving the
highest vote. If it w?re merely an office
of profit, or a seat ia the Legislature, it
would follow that the next highest
candidate would be eleoled. In the
early days of the government it
seems to have been the intention to
constitute a college of solid citizen?,
with vested authority and large dis
cretion, to bo exercised according to
their best judgment. But it soon came
to pass that the people took the matter
into their own hands, and in voting for
electors voted through them directly for
their choice for the Presidency. There
is no statute requiring an elector to vote
with the ticket upon which be wus cho
sen, but there are precedents and public
opinion, stronger than any written law.
There is no doubt that il the declared
popular vote in Oregon was correct, the
Vejple intended to elect Hives electors.
A nice technical question is here raistd,
to be decided in Congress or by the So-
preme Court of the United States. Tte
Canvassing Boards of Sou h Carolina,
Fioiida and Louisiana, in defiance of
facts aod returns, bave couuted in Hayes.
TilJen carried Louisiana by a mojority
of 8000. This is thrown out on the bare
charge tli it trere was uot a full and fre
election iu the Democratic parishes
The Board was composed of the worst
partisans, whose minds vere made np
before the election. Governor McEnery
issued certificates to the Tilden
electors, and the Democrats will
claim that those votes shall be
counted. This will revive the old ques
lion of the legality cf the Kellog? gov
ernment. The Tilden electors and Mc
Enery ar acting under the advice cf
the most prominent lawyers of the coun
try. CiaimiDg the fuil vote of Oreg- n
end of the three prostrate States the
Republicans will insist that Hayes is
elected by a mojority of one electoral
vote. The ex Postmaster of Oiegon,
however, baa no certificate from tl
Governor. That is held by Crouio, a
Democrat. Republican committees have
beet, appointed by the Ssnats and Dem
ocratic committees by tLe House, to in
vestigate Southern elections. Taken
altogether it il a beautiful legil muddle.
We will have comparative quiet until
the 14.b of February, when the Uo
Houses will meet in joint convention to
count the electoral votes. There will be
two sets from at least four States, and
the count may last for days and weeks.
Grant has backed cquare down from
liis military role since Fish threatened
to resign and the Democrats began to
talk of impenchmci.t, and we now be
lieve that either Tilden or Hayes will be
peaceably inaugurated. We can live
under either. If Hayes can alToH to
accept a place obtained in an illegal
manner w"fl can better afford to wait for
another election. We shall, however,
have hopes of Tildcu's inauguration
until the end.
A 8EHSATI0N SPOILED.
We gave but little credence to the ru
mored conference between Governor
Hayes and leading Southern men, with a
view to effecting a compromise. It
seems, however, that Colonel W. U. Rob
erts, of the New Orleans Times, on his
way to Washington, called on Governor
Hayes, on his own account entirely, end
had a long tu'.k with him. When he ar
rived at Washington he was interviewed
and made the following statement:
On my way from Cincinnati to Wash
ington I stepped at Columbus to see
Governor Hayes I was there not ac
credited for anvbody but for the New Or
loans Times. I had a letter of introduc
tion from Mr. Ualstead. of the Cincin
nati Commercial, and one from J. 13.
Stevenson. I had a conversation with
-Mr. Iluyee, of some two or three hours'
duration, perhaps, at the home of Gen
erl Comly. Wo talked of the Southern
"u&tion very freely, and he expressed
ome ruRret that the pacification of the
1. onth bud not bicn completed and the
whole quemion tattled. I had noauihor
ny from General Hamption or Mr. La
mar to k ny proportion looking to
copprri!e, nor did I .(ate that I had
MiSo? J He asked m9 no ques-,
blv KUt M M- Ue "oke favor-1
I .aid ,1 'f?r-eHtr T f Mr- Lamar. I
U"H the CkuVliJ ad boeu ft contervfc I
tive one. Touching the matter of the
last election and tbe Presidential ques
tion he said nothing.
Hayes considers himself fleeted or
claims to be, aud would not be likely to
make any overtures or to commit him
self in regard to a Southern , policy so
early. His speech toon after the elec
tion, in which he deplored the fate of the
poor negroes under Democratic rule and
said Northern men would have to move
out cf the South, would indicate very
difleritnt ideas from those lately attrib
uted to him.
Senators and mstnbers who have been
lookiug into the practices of Congress
since the government was founded, find
that it has always required the concur
rent action of the two houses to abrogate
a joint rule a; well as to adopt it. Under
the uniform precedent, therefore, the
twenty second joint rule having been
rescinded by but one houe is now in
force, and covers, of course, the count
ing of the electoral vote in February.
Tbe record of the two Louses also shows
that both perfected all of the legislation
of the last session by virtue of the joint
roles which continued in force from the
preceding Congress.
No surprise: is felt at the an
nouncement that the three prostrate
States cf the South are counted for
Hayes. The fact was accomplished in
Washington weeks if not months ago.
The announcement is a mere formality.
It only remains to be seen what Con
gress will or cm do, and wa have no
great faith in any relief from that source.
Thb Senate, by a party vote of 41 to
25, passed a resolution Tuesday ap
pointing a committee inquiring into the
electious of South Carolina, Georgia,
A.Ubam.1, Mississippi and Florida for tbe
years 1874, '75, '76.
We give to day further particulars of
the Brooklyn horror, ia which at least
315 lives were lost.

id I he Fortieth Ut'ueral Aaseiutily
of rcDnessfte.
Under this beading w propose to sire,
from time t tima, a short sketch of each
member of tbe Legislature.!
WILLIAM P. TOLLY.
William Polk Tolly, Representative
elect from Lincoln county to tbe lower
house of the incoming Legislature, was
born November 7, 1833, at Lynchburg,
now the county seat of Moore county.
He was therefore thirty seven years old
the day of his and the Presidential elec
tion. James K. Polk was elected Gov
ernor in 1839, and in honor of the event
and ths man toe name Polk wis be
stowed on the subject of this sketch.
He received an academic education in
the vicinity of his birthplace, and at
tended the East Tennessee University at
Enoxville, and Union University at
Marlreesboro, each one session, but
lacked two years of completing the full
ciurst.- Ho is of Scotch-Irish extrac
tion; a farmer by occupation, and mar
ried. During the war he was captain of
a compaey in tbe Firs'. Tennessee Con
federate regiment, Virginia army; was
disabled at Gaines' Mill, in front of
Richmond, in 1SG2, the second day of
the seven days' battles; afterward, when
only partially recovered, joined the cav
alry and did good service as a scout.
He is not a member of any church ex
cept by affinity with the primitive Bap
tist church, toward which he is inclined.
Mr. Tolly was a member of the State
Senate of 1871-72 from the district com
posed of Lincoln and Franklin counties.
In the same years he edited the Lincoln
County News; was a delegate to the
State Democratic Convention in 1S72.
and wis one of the first to adopt the
Greeley movement, which he favortd to
prevent the movement of disintegration
headed by A. S Colyar, Henry S. Foole
and others. He made the race for nom
ination for Congress in his district the
Fi'th in 1874, and was the third foremoft
candidate in a list of sis. Mr. Bright,
the successful candidate, very e'etrly
intimated to Mr. Tolly's friends after tbe
Convention that ho regarded him as his
ablest competitor cu the stump, especi
ally upon the currency questiou, upou
which they both took tbe same side. He
is an advocate of low taxes on the basis
of a compromise of the State debt, which
he holds is the only practicable disposal
that cau be made of it short of repudiation.
He held to the view in the canyas3 that
the people are unable to bear an increase
ef taxation; 49 cents is insufficient to
pay tbe interest and dafray current ex
penses of the State; the Penjopratic
pUtform forbids going beyond 40 cents;
therefore, there is no alternative le't but
to repudiate or compromise, one or th
other, so as to reduuo taxes; there is no
sense in keeping up a forty ceutg tax
when that rate will not accomplish the
purpose. On this platform Mr. Tolly
will be a candidate for Sjabr of the
House. He believes that, in consequence
of the unsettled coudiiion of national
finances and the monetary stringency.
the conventional interest law should be
repealed, and the rate limited to six per
cent. Among other things, Mr. Tolly
insists that both Uuited States Senators
ought to be thoroughly committed to the
Western idea of national currency the
legal-tender system. No nominations
were made in Lincoln eonnty for the
Legislature previous to tbe late election,
the county being nearly all one way.
Throe Democrats ran and one Uepubli
,:an. The Slate debt was the main issue
of the canvass. Mr. Tolly ran ahead of
Kercheval, his closest competitor, 103
voles; about doubled Carrijsn, the next
foremost, and more than trebled Mont
gomery, the Republican. A man ef
experience, fine intelligence and educa
tion, and progressive, liberal views, he
cannot fail to wield a large influence in
the next Legislature.

falsification of the returns on file in the

Ikdiaxapolis, December 7. The
Jeurnal publishes an interview with Gov
ernor Hendricks on the situation. He
thinks the action of the returning boards
in Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana
are Dot ia accordance with the laws of
those States or the Federal Constitution,
bat hopes Congress will do justice and
assert the true spirit of the Constitution.
Ha does not blieve the Vice President
can deolare who is elected, or that the,
two houses of Congress are simply wit
nessei as to ths couut, furnishing tellers
to certify to the correct reading of tbe
balloti. He relies npon ths twenty
second joint rule, which be contended
has been in operation since 1858, and de
clares it a legislative interpretation of the
Constitution specially intended to meet
such a crisis as the the present. He ad
mits tbe pesiibility of the House declar
ing Tilden President and the Senate de
claring Hayes President, and that such
a crisis wonld be of the most serious
character and entaij npon all parties the
gravest responsibility. H decljned to
give any statement as to his recent meet
ing with Govrrnor Tilden.

Lo.vdox, December 7. A dispatch to
the Daily News, from Berlin, reports
that the Russian war office has decided
not to permit correspondents to join the
army of occupation until it has crossed
the frontier. The proposition to subject
their reports to a species of cansorship
vm n jected by the Ciar himself.
Another dirjlomatic note from Gort
schakofT explaining tbe cause and ob
jects of military intervention is expocted
soon.
lbe publloatioD of the Ruski Mir has
been suspended for one month by the
government, oi soqount of articles which
appeared in that journal on tbe compo
sition of tie army.
A correspondent of the Times at Paris
says the ministerial situation is as fol
lows: The Republican majority in the
Lhamber of Deputies refuses to co-operate
with any Cabinet which will not on
its formation impose honditjone whereby
President MacMahon is not to intervene
at all, or only in a very limited degree,
with, (he selection of the aJmliiUtrCtlTC
staff. The Jiweiuiit jj determined not
to agree to this. The Chamber at pres
put is funlly determined not toyiclj,
aud contemplttUj dissolution. The Seu-
ate will support President MacMahon,
but the Deputies seem inclined to hold
out against him on the dang"rous ground
of the Budget. The Budget Committee
have resolved to suspend their proceed
ings until the new Cabiuet is formed.
The Deputies at the end of to-day's
(Thursday's) session will probably ad
jours until Monday, and if the Cabinet
is not formed in the iuterval, they will on
reassembling adopt resolutions express
ing their disapprobation. TLe idea is"
suggested of . forming a Cabinet of the
most distinguished Liberals in both
Chambers. Il is houebt that a Cabinet
composed of D. Audifl'eret, Simon Du
foure. Decuzes, Say, Waddington and
the preseut Ministers of War and Marine,
would bo accepted by all parties involved
in the present dispute. President Mac
Mahon is willing to accept this combina
tion, which would pat an end to danger
and restore peace and internal stability
to the country.

ITurilier Particulars.
New Yokk, December 7. At half-paet
ten o'clock laet evening the bodies of
two men were digged from the ruins, and
both were identified by the remnants of
their dresses worn on the stage. There
were twelve hundred persons in the ther
ter, five hundred of whom were in the
g.il'erieB. This evening, notwithstand
ing the popularity of Miss Mutton, the
latest piny at the Uuion Square Theater,
tho proprietors ordered that the theater
be closed and a placard draped in mourn
iug was placed at the entrance stating
that in consequence cf the terrible disas
ter in Brooklyn there would bo no per
formance this evening.
At a late hour last night two hundred
and eighty-five bodies had been recovered
by the fire brigade. Miss Kate Claxton
loses ten theusand dollars; Miss Ida
Vernon, eight thousand dollars, and
Shook & Palmer, thirty thousand dollars.
The city authorities were in session
yesterday to make arranjementa for the
interment in the Greenwood cemetery of
the dead not identified.
The. Times says: "Fire-Marshal Ready,
who has made an exhaustive examina
tion of the circumstances attending the
fire, is of opinion that at least three
hundred and fi.rty persons perished in
the flames.
The dimensions of the awful calamity
which has befallen the city of Brooklyn
in the destruction of its principal thea
ter by fire and consequent loss of life,
have not yet been realized. Eoough is
known, however, to make it certain that
the catastrophe ranks r.mong the most
fatal tf the kind ever recorded. Accord
ing to the statements of all parties who
profess to know anything as to the origin
of the fire, it began on the stage. The
business manager, Mr. Rogers, says that
a piece of canvass, out of which trees,
C'J., are made, was broken from its fas
tenings, and hung from flies immediately
over one of the border lights, near tbe
center of the stage. The canvas had
began to smolder and the paint on it to
crackle, and the carpenter was directed
to ascend to one of thjj crooves and re
move the dangerous object. He could
barely reach it with his hand, and he
drew it hastily up. The hasty moliun
through the air of the haif igniteJ and
highly iuflirnmable canvass caused it to
burst into a ria-ne, which ripidly tpread
to aojuuing material, equally sujeepti-
b!
All ellorts to extinguish the flame
were abortive, and the carpenter had to
retire ssve hia own life.
'i'he scene In the gallery after the
alana was raised is described r.s some
thing fcr.rr'.Me even to contemplate. Up
till toca today 315 bodits bad been re
moved. Of ttjse W are Identified; some
ty reuicanta cf clothing remaining, and
Others by watches, chains and such arti
cles, but few by features. The actors,
Clauda Burroughs and Harry Murdoch,
are among the idantified.
V.'hat uro vc;pted as the bodies of
the two actors are simply two black cin
ders. Around the trunk of one wm
a scorched buckskin ULdorsbiit, and be
side the other was a piece of braid, nppa
rently a portion of a stage dress.
This afternoon a number of men will
be set to work to clear away all the
wreck in the auditory. Hitherto their
labors have been cbielly conGnedtotbe
spaci formeily occupied by tho lobby
and stage. It is feared that wheB a care
ful iearch Is made in the auditorium
the bodies of a good many men who
leaped in their Irenzy from the galleries
will bo discovered. The police allows no
person to enter within the wall of tbe
theater, with the exception cf men en
gaged in search of nun. Tbe small purtjj
