ONLY OXIi niSSEXTlSn. The report of the joint com mittee of tlie two houses of Congress to provide tor the counting of the electoral vote, has at last been made. The re port was unanimous, with one solitary exception, and that ex ception, 0. P. .Morton, goes far to strenthen the belieftliat the bill is fair, and breaks up the nice little job that he and Chan dler and their co-workers in fraud, had conceived, of count ing in Hayes, by the aid of cor rupt and profligate rctunii.iig bohrds. Senator jtfortori i"s one of those unscrupulous politicians who is entirely innocent of favoring anything that could be wnstrned into fair dealing with a question inrolving thu inter est of his party. II is opposi tion to the measure, is not a had. recommendation to the bill, as reported by the com mittee, the passage of which is now scarcely questionable. Jfr. 'lorton may swallow his cha grin as best he can, and digest his malignant venom in solitary grandeur. There is no consid erable number of even his own party, who will pcrsUt in trying to give the count ot the electo ral vote, a purely partisan bias, ' regardless ot law, right, justice and the constitution. s4 I Hon. Mr. Julian, member of Congress, made a masterly ' speecn at inaianapoiis, tne oui instant, before ,a convention of the, people of Indiana. It was an eloquent appeal for the pres- ervatioii ot the constitution, and. 1 an unanswerable vindication of the right of Tilden anJ Hcn-drick.-; to the seats to which they havedeen unmistakably elected by the voice ot American free men. Alluding to those who wouhl subvert the constitution, by foisting into the office of President a man clearly not. elected, he thus' concludes" : Let them be warned in season by every lover of regulated lib erty that millions of men will be found ready to offer their lives as hostages to the sacred -ness of the ballot, as the pallad iiini of our liberty. ':Whosoever hath the gift of tongues, let him usa it : whosoever can wield the pen of a ready writer, lot him dip it in the inkhorn ; whosoever hath a sword, let him gird it on for the crisis demands our high est exertions, phyjica! and moral." LLEtrronAL Yotk of Floi-ida. By reference to our telegrams in this morning's Baxxee. it will be feen that the Canvassing Board ot Florida, in obedience to an act of the Legislature of that State, on counting the re turns found to be regular and legal, gave the electoral vote of the Flower State to Tilden and Hendricks by 94 majority. This ought to settle the question, and we suppose will. Logan ot the Senate and Chandler of the Cabinet, will rave and iume, but in the end, these viperous politicitians will find they 'lave been biting files, hurting their own fangs, and nothing else.

On Sun day the Administration was a J "little oil 'so badly ort, m fact, that Brother Orville, who visis- ed ihe White Iloue on family business, came away and told his friends that the President was in one of those moods in which it was no use to talk to him. It serins that Morton, Sherman, Stirjieant. Don Came ron and others ot the conspira tor. in the Senate and Cabinet, took advantage of the Presi dent's unfortunate condition, and induced .him to send the telegram to General Augur. The poor, oppressed female clerks ot Washington are thus mentioned in a recent letter : ''la the departments the clerks work in the forenoon during the holidays, and the afternoon the streets present a giy and anima ted appearance, for the young ladils are out, arrayed more gorgeously than Solomon or the lilies, in bewitching pullbacks, rouge, pearl powder, dark eye brows and under-cored eyelash es, bent, like Tamerlane, on conquest."

A special from Washington says that Hon. Win. A. Wheel er visited President Grant on the 15th, at the solicitation of Senator Colliding, . and urged the President to take no steps in the Louisiana matter until the Congressional committees make their leports. Mr. Wheel er having come diivet from an interview with Governor Haves gives some particular interest to his present attitude. We are intructed by the A.

It Ihey do this thev'' deserve to be held up to reprobation by all paeachers and moralists. That people have vices is no pallia tiof the oliojise of those who p.TWer to them. But the bus i ness of newspapers is to report fact-, and sometimes facts reveal the depravity of human nature nc -oll c ifc t-ivfur2 Tl ia imf lTic function of an editor to make lacts or to ignore them. He must take hem as they are, i-.voiding in their publication whatever merely tends to pro voke immorality or to gratify a morbid appetite. A minister may easily preach against wick ednoss'in such a way as to stim ulate cuiiosity regarding it and to inflame the desire to commit it. Sensational ministers have be-m known to do that very thing in their eagerness to at tract hearers. This is bad in a miii'ster, m in an editor. Brother Talmage says the re sponsibility of what an editor publishes is divided between him and his readers. We ask no such division. If the paper is evil, it is the editor who is at tr.nlt. He has no business to publish what is unfit to read. No, let the preachers offer no palliations tor the offenses of the editors. Editors havn a great responsibility, and they ought to boar it fncmselves. It was asserted to-day by one of Grant's stroiig, steadfast friends, that, as he has but six weeks further ot power, he is utterly indifferent to such opin ions as bis enemies in the House may form ot him. He means to act with vigor as decisive as as that which brought about the surrender of Appomattox, and he means to deal with the incip ient rebels of 1S77 as sternly as with the full fledged rebels ot 1S05. The person responsible for this information further states that Grant asserted that whoever wondered at this would have still more to wonder at be fore thev were mam da vs older. Extra Billy Smith, Yirginia's war governor, and a celebrated ante-bellum politician, is now member of the State legislature. Although seventy-six years of age, he is robust in general health and vigorous in mind as ho was twenty years ago. IPs inclination to talk is irre-istable, and usually he talks well. He keeps abreast ot the times as to subjects of thought, though his ideas as to the treatment of tho subjects are occasionally an tiquarian.

A Federal soldier in the ranks writes : I have been at a great many places of late, and I find that the greatest number of en listed men are for Tilden and Hendricks." Again : "I ask the people of the United States, would a soldier of tho United States Army be bound to put in a corrupt President not lawfully elected ? Why, a soldier would be breaking tho laws ot the country by putting in a Presi dent that is'not lawfully elected by the people's vote, and a sol dier onght not to be used as a tool for political parties." nox.
