COUXTJXO THE ELECTORAL J Special Tele.ram to the Globe. | Washington, Dec. 20. — The electoral vote for president and vice, president of the United States will be counted on the second Wed nesday in February. Although there are uo joint rules in force which covered the form of this procedure up to the celebrated contest of 1870, the ceremony which has heretofore prevailed, but was intermitted in that con test, will prevail. The two houses will jointly assemble in the hall of the bouse, of repre sentatives and Senator Edmunds will preside. Each bouse will choose tellers to keep a record of the vote as announced. Senator Edmunds will open the envelopes, and the contents will be road by a committee chosen for such purpose. The proceeding will oc cupy the matter of two hours, as there is no conflict between the bouses which will cause them to separate. Mr. Edmunds will, when the votes are all counted, declare rover Cleveland duly elected president, and Thos. A. Hendricks vice president of the United States. It is the opinion of many, too, tbat the name of Cleveland will roll as a sweeter morsel under his toni*uc than would that of Blame, of Maine. a CONSPIRACY SIGHTED. Mr. Harold Snowder, of the Alexandria Gazette, who visited Gov. Cleveland three weeks ago, or thereabouts, told the Globe '•orrespondent, as he was leaving the execu tive chamber at Albany, he met at the door leading to Gov. Cleveland's room Mr. O. L. Pruden, one of President Arthur's private secretaries. The aforesaid Pruden is seized with too much modesty to have visited Al bany in his own behalf. This leaves open tbe awful suggestion that he was sent to Cleveland by President Arthur. It would not, in view of this incident, take a very lively imagination to build up a conspiracy be tween the incoming and outgoing presidents. TILDE*-* GOING TO WASHINGTON. ... '■; ... ''I '< It is stated that Gov. Tilden has secured rooms at a prominent hotel, to be present at the inauguration of President Cleveland. This, If true, will set at rest the sporadic re ports which crop out as to the venerable statesman being ready to drop into his grave. . P-NCTUHES PENDLETON'S PRIDE. The New York World has an editorial on civil service reform. It believes the afore said reform, but docs not believe in arriving at the capacity of applicant for office at the bands of the school master. That is to say, it is opposed to the law now in operation, which turns. the patronage . over to three old women. This conversion ou the part of the World Is wholesome. It has come at last to Ben. Butler's platform. It will be remem bered that doughty Ben told the Chicago convention that he did not believe a man in it believed in civil service reform except he was a school master, whereat the convention -wanted to applaud, and no doubt would, had not the father of the law been on the plat lorm, looking much like a plucked peacock. BLAINE GROWING OLD. Your correspondent met Mr. Blame yes terday.' He was walking on I'cuusyluaiiia. avenue with one of his daughters. He is not looking as well as when I saw him in Colum bus in October last, His face is more puffed out, more especially about the cheek-bouts. His eye. while it still has its old fire, looks swollen, and it was evident tbat on this oc casion his mind was occupied with other thoughts than those of the passing crowds or the displays in the shop windows. His form *_■ as erect as ever, but a comparison in the mind of the Blame of twelve years ago, and sow shows that time has made some telling blows upon him. Then his step was elastic, now it is more measured and deliberate. His face, too, has whitened with his hair, and the two keep step together In the march of time, and yet, take all the man has gone through, and it is a wonder he is on top of the ground. ■■;-. "/..' - MANNING TO BE NEW YORK'S COLLECTOR. And now the quid nuncs have given over to damning the office of collector of the port ; of New. York. This office in a pecuniary sense is said to be* worth more than the presidency of the United States. It has caused, too, a good deal of trouble. The filling of it involved Presiden Hayes In a three years' fight with Coukling, and it stranded Garfield's administration al most before it was fairly on its feet. Man ning was chairman of the New York delega tion it the Chicago convention and be weighs over 200 pounds. Ergo, he is to be the col lector. ;■ . • LOT WRIGHT'S HONEST DEPUTIES. Lot Wright, the marshal, in his scheme to carry the Cincinnati election, it seems took especial pains to violate the law rather than to enforce it. Close examination of his ac counts shows that he not only employed United States deputy marshals prior to and 'on the day of the election, but that likewise he kept some on the pay roll subsequent ■ thereto. The delectable class who were sum moned to Cincinnati for this doty do not, when not engaged in cracking a safe, make $5 a day very readily, hence Mr. Wright •very kindly kept a number until the sth, one day after election. All such thus paid Mr. Wright will have to make good to Uncle Sam, as the Items will be disallowed by the auditlni. officers of the treasury. The committee to -conduct the investigation as to the marshal's conduct will leave the city on Friday, Jan. 2, reaching Cincinnati th«j day following. The headquarters will probably be. located at the Grand hotel. Mr. Springer, the chairman, Is 100 well known to need elaborate descrip tion. By the bye, he is related to the late Reuben Springer, the philanthropist. Mr. Springer is: an active, energetic worker. .As an investigator be -has bad -large experience, having been engaged in that line since the meeting of the -.Forty-seventh congress. ,He is tall in stature, quick in movement and most *_reeable in manner. Van Atyslne, his' *0*» m -*""~->'A colleague, now -represents the ' - - : .'..*»■.'- • a Dailu # (Elobe. 6 t Albany (New York) district in congress. He | j has bad service on - the bench. He looks ' j more like a farmer tban a lawyer. He is. j jelly in his temperament, aft---** I** manner, i ! and unmerciful' with a crooked witness. Gov. Stewart, tbe Republican member, has Served a term as governor of tbe green mountain state. He is more reserved than j his -agues. At first blush one would judge him to be austere, but this wears away , upon acquaintance. j He is a good lawyer. •' •'?>.'- ,••'''*'' I*OCAN'f» nun. j Postmaster General Battoa told the Globe ■ correspondent to-day that be expected the , senate would regret the nomination of Win. • E. Curtis as secretary of the South American ; commission. Senator Logan has not ceased | in his opposition, and says he is not to be i deterred from doing his duty by intimations that the Inter-Octau will oppose -re-election to the senate unless be does so. It is said | that charges of corruption have been raked up against Mr. Curtis, dating back to tbe time wben be was an officer in the senate as clerk for .Senator Dorsey's committee. THE SENATORIAL CLOAK K< «>M A FRONTED. The announcement by way of Albany that Gov. Cleveland has rented a house in that city for tbe months of January and February, will carry consternation to a clique of public men wbo had hoped he would come to Washington In the middle of January. Those *vbo are constructing a cabinet in Washington look with envy on those like wise engaged in _.**• York. The Washing ton schemers Lave a fear that, because of a shorter distance to the power soon to rule. the New York influence may eclipse the in fluence of this end. However, Mr. Cleve land, up to the day of his inauguration, will be expected to make obeisance to those wbo do the gossiping in the senatorial cloak room. . WANT- ****** BE REINSTATED. *.\ • Maj. Reno, who has endured some pretty hard knocks since be was court martialed and dismissed from the army, is back in Washington.. In the course of a conversa tion this evening at tbe Ebbit be sald:'*l can tell you that I am here to remain some time, perhaps all winter. A bill for my restora tion is in the hands of my friends in the i bouse, and I have hopes that it will puss at this session. Perhaps it is not best to say jo-it at present who have the measure in j charge.*' After he was dropped from the army ■ Maj. Reno was an instructor at the naval i academy teaching' dancing, if your corres podent's informant is not mistaken. Then i he tried other things. He felt keenly the re sult of the trial, and for a time it looked as if i his misfortunes would be his utter ruin. Mure recently, however, he has been endear- ' oring to redeem himself, and now seems to ! have sympathy and friendshsp in army cir cles. V'V ■', *•'.,." NOT FOR DAVIS. Talking with Representative Gibson, of j West Virginia, a day or so ago, he expressed it as a conviction that the effort to make ex- Senator Davis, of West Virginia, postmaster general, did not have behind it the endorse ment or sympathy of the people of the state. Gibson feels that, while there is no reason to believe that Davis can secure the place, be thinks this* very aspiration will hinder the state from receiving rewards in another di rection to which some of her sons are enti tled. -For this reason doth he protest. '.'.-*.'•. HIS CHANCES SHADOW.. There is no probability that Mr. Pierce, of Chicago, will secure a district judgeship here, for which he is urged by Representative Davis and Senator Logan. -It is current gossip here that Davis and Logan have made a truce, whereby the former will use his iufl*i ense to secure Logan's re-election to the sen ate in consideration of the latters influenre to get the judgeship for Pierce. It is said at the White house that there is no probability of either of the three district judges availing themselves of their rights to go upon the re tired list and thus make a vacancy for the president to -fill. The president does not in tend to leave the city during the holidays.' ufa u_-__*_ RECEPTION. " Secretary McCulloch has issued cards for a ■public reception on the llr.l of January. ANTBODT.BUT _____ Secretary Teller says he docs not intend to go to Colorado to look after the senator-ship. He has uot withdrawn, but will at entirely satisfied to have any person other than Sen ator Hill elected. THE LOUISIANA LOTTERT. Another attempt is to be made by the gov ernment to prevent tbe use of the malls by the Louisiana Lottery company, by legal pro ceedings in the United Stales court at New Orleans. Tbe postnflicc department bas i collected evidence in sixty or more specified cases, which are taken as samples of tbe manner in which the company conducts its business in contempt of law. The law offi cers oMhe department hare selected one of these as a test case, to proceed with by in formation, and if the government shall be successful with that, tbe remaining cases will be pressed. The representatives of the Lottery company here, where an immense revenue is collected for the concern each month, are not at all un easy about the proposed action of the federal authorities. They say this Is simply another of those occasional spasms of Virtuous indigna tion which has seized the postal administra tion, but in every instance passed off with out harmful effect upon the lottery business beyond the temporary annoyance toils tnan •igers and agents. .The statute itself is de fective, ana the postal authorities have little encouragement to attempt to prevent the use of the mails by lottery companies, nor to have the law amended, for some mysterious iuflu ence exerted upon congress has invariably defeated every effort to close the gaps by which legalized lotteries escape. UNDER SEALED ORDERS. . !,'.'-* Commodore Jonett, - commanding, the north Atlantic squadron, who has been here for a week or ten days, left the city to-night for New York, and will at once return to bis flagship. He has orders to assemble the north Atlantic squadron at an early date at the isthmus of Panama, and b. takes with bim sealed orders, which are not to beopsnei until he reaches the isthmus. . HENRI'S WRATH. Among the compliments to Mr. Randall which have been provoked by Mr. Walter son's attack upon bim on account of his pro posed visit to Louisville, Ky., and other points in the south is a cordial invitation from the citizens of New Orleans to extend his trip to that city. It is understood that Randall had already made engagements which will fully occupy his time until, the sth of January, when bis duties as chairman of the committee on appropriations will re quire bis presence in Washington, but that be has promised to visit New Orleans next, March. 'V** « TO, FORCE ANOTHER .eSSION. A comparison between the naval appropria tion' bills passed by the senate and the ap propriations for the navy for the first half of the current fiscal year, snows that the senate bill practically appropriates for the support of the navy for only three months instead of six.; The effect of this bill, if it were to be passed by .the bouse, would be to have the .navy without ' funds from the middle) of March to the first of next J uly, and it is charged by the Democrats that the object of the Republican senate was to force the new administration to call an extra session of congreaa. | The ' comparative statement ra ST- PAUL 111 M SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER '11. ISB4. ferred to shows that tbe senate bill - would give the navy 9600,000 less than they bad for tbe first half of the year and 2300,000 less , than tbey, would have had for bait the year If • the original bill of the hous. bad passed. . For tbe first half of. the year the j bureau of equipment an I rcr-iir- has had 1490,0-00. Tais bill provides that they shall bare * but $293*00- for the current expense*- of the ; bureau. Seven ty-five tbonsind dollars was j appropriated "for the first half 4 of j the year, while the senate now , proposes to give but $25,000. ! In the bureau of navigation 950.000 was ! given. ■ Tbe senate now proposes $23,000. I The bill for the first six months appropriated ; $590,000' for the expenses of tbe bureau of ' steam engineering, while tbe senate's bill j for tbe last half appropriates but 1230,000. i Members of tho bouse committee say that I the expenses of the navy bureau are uni- ■ form the .-e_r through and that if the ap- i pruuriatiot i for the last six months were so much less than that for the first, it would ' necessarily be* all expended before the year ; is up. .-."'•.'.'..• "'".'i~ . SOCLIL GOSSIP. Mrs. Senator Williams and her daughter, j Mi*>» Hamilton, are to join the senator here after the holidays. Tbe general's name ha. ; been frequently mentioned of late for a cab- j in t-t place. Mrs. Williams would do special ; honor as the wife of a cabinet officer, being j a great favorite in Washington society, to say nothing of her ability as a politician. Senator Vest, of Missouri, who goes home this week to look after the senatorial succes sion, is to bring bis family with him after ' tin* holidays. Miss Tlllle Freliugbuysen is still very much j a sufferer and obliged to forego almost en- ! tirely tbe pleasures of society. Her lame ness is due to a fall at the Garfield hospital | fair some months ago. from which sbe has never recovered, and will not, Vr physicians says, unless .lie takes better care of herself tban she baa been doing. Sbe baa at bust ap parently seen the necessity of rest, and hat given up all social duties for the present. Tbe fact that Gov. Cleveland has last . given a social reception at tbe capitol in Albany to those wbo hav shown him some social courtesies leads people in social life here to hope that be will not be so much a recluse during bit presi dential term as had been represented. - Senator Fair, wbo has been west since re turning from abroad, bas returned to Worm ley _ for the winter. 'He made bis children a rather unique Christmas present of a package for eacb one containing ten $1,000 4 per cent bonds. Mr. D. D. Lloyd, author of Raymond's play, "For Congress," is still In Paris, whither he went in search of health, his ter vices for the New York Tribune here having completely broken him down. Word comes from there that be is much improved and will probably return in tbc spring quite him self again. Mrs. Carlisle will begin her receptions at tbe Klggt bouse after ' New Tears, but will bare, it Is announced, no assistants in re ceiving for the present, at least. • ' •'-' Senator Blackburn's f_n.il**, it it an nounced, will spend the winter at New Or leans, preferring that to returning here this season. * • . • -**."f*-* - 'I ''.'. I Western Associated Press.} £-__-T-_T miXINGHCT .EN* OX THE SPANISH T_*__T~. . . *vV_shit-gton, Dec- 20.— The following self explanatory letter in regard to . the Spanish j treaty has been written by Secretary Freling hursen, and sent this afternoon to the chair man of the senate on foreign relations: Department of State, ) Washington. Dec. 26, Its... J To the Honorable John F. Miller, Chairman Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate: Sir: I have received . your letter asking whether there are any political considerations important to this country relating to the treaty between the United States and Spain as to Cuba and Porto Rico; and also inquir ing of mc whether I have any suggestions to make in. answer to the objections to the treaty which you assume I bare noticed. The negotiation of Uiis convention was un dertaken pursuant to the policy which bad already received the sanction of congress, manifested by appropriations originating in the bouse, for commissioners to negotiate a commercial convention with Mexico, and for a commission to Central and South America to ascertain meant fostering more intimate relations of amity and com merce ■______■_. The same policy had ob tained th;* approval of the senate by its rati fication of the convention with Mexico. The convention now before yon in Its political aspect is of importance. Some hare thought there is a disposition in the United States looking to the annexation of Cuba. Sucb action would be unwise, for reasons which arc apparent to your commission, for, even could it be accomplished by general consent, our institutions would be endangered by this beginning of a colonial system, or by an in -oration Into our body politic of a large population not in entire sympathy with our govern aims and methods. ' The treaty removes tbe causes of complaint as to the treatment of our citizen* and their property in Cuba and Porto Rico, which bare hereto fore led to serious discussion ' between the two governments, and by bringing the islands into a close commercial connection ' with the United States, confers upon us and upon others all the benefits which would re sult from annexation, were that possible. The convention with Spain is one of a series of international engagements follow ing the reciprocity treaty with Mexico. It opens the markets of Cuba and Porto Rico to our products. The treaty with Santo Do mingo opens those of that republic, and the pending negotiations with the Central Amer ican .tides and with Colombia, tend to the same object. In conjunction with . -these the .treaty with Nic aragua for tbe ' construction of an inter oceanic canal, while bringing the most dis tant parts of our own country into closer relations,* opens tbe markets of the . west coast of South America to our trace, and gives. us at our doors a customer able to ab sorb a large portion of those articles wbicb we produce in return for the product* which we cannot profitably raise. . Now it t me refer to some objections. made to the Spanish convention. It it ' said that we thereby gire np a revenue on sutt-r from •f25,000,000 to $35,000,000, in return for a reduction of duties upon our products im ported into Cuba and Porto Rico, estimated on a basis of existing traffic at from three to five millions. The relinquishment of revenue when for public good, is in the line of na tional poller hitherto. It was done In the case of tea and coffee, which, by the act of May 1, 18T2, was placed upon j the free list,. without an attempt to obtain therefor any, equivalent whatever, and solely in obedience to a popular demand for "a* free breakfast table." By this measure the treas ury of the United States has lost, in the last two years,'': a revenue of some $144,000,000 on coffee alone; and besides let us hot forget thut Brazil availed itself of tbe action of this government to impose an export' tax. upon coffee, which deprived the people of **_iis country of the benefit of our tariff redaction. Article of this convention prevents a similar action by Spain. The treaty now un der consideration tends to cheaper tbe cost j of the necessaries of life by reducing the cost of staple dally consumption of which we are obliged/ to Import each year nearly one ' hundred millions in value' to make up for the Inadequate production of our own soil, which amounts to only about twelve per centum of the whole co_tur_ptir>n ; and at tbr same time we secure a ■rrnwicp mar ket for our products in the Spanish Antilles," r coupled with especial ptirllec-s to our mer- j chant marine. It is also said the Importation , of free sn-rar from Cuba' and Porto Rico, ! worn added to our domestic "pradu-"tion and t> tbe Importation from tbc Sandwich isl-ads, will fail abort in the quantity heeded for borne consumption, and tbc price will be i ruled by that of tbe p.rt remaining liable to j duty, so tbat the profit from the removal of I duty, will go to tbe Cuban and Porto Rico' planters and not to the consumers in this country. - If this art-ument be true the trratj \ will not affect the price of su-ar in . Louisi- j ana. The price <>.' m commoilty is lessened , by the supDlr Seln; zreatertban the demand, ■ but it is frank to say other 'conventions bare ° been negotiated, or are in process of . nego tiation, which will provide adequate lmporta tation from sa;rar regions. . Again, the privileged io traduction of tobacco at reduced duties baa !•**•*_ objected to -as reducing the revenue and removing protection from American product aud manu factures. As to tbis it seems enough to say that the convention leaves mi nation against the imported article from four to five times tbe Internal revenue duties on 'the American product, and secures a. market hitherto denied for special manufactures of tobacco in which we excel, and which com mand a profitable market wherever their im portation is permitted. A reduction is urged in many quarters of tbe internal revenue tax on manufactured tobacco, and tbis would be a loss of some $25,000,000 annually to the public treasury. This treaty, taken, with others of the same character, stimulates our general exports, and thereby promotes an in terest in our manufactures. Again it la urged that tbe Inert tsed expor tation which these treaties may secure • will not equal the lost of tn- revcoueon Imported articles. But these articles of Import are produced within our territory sparine'-, or not at all, or of different grades, not .satis fying public I'etn.nil. and it is of the essence of wise protection to forego the duties upon these and to impose tbem on those manu factures whlcb may be profitably fostered by Impeding foreign competition. Not only do these conventions do this, bat they large the foreign market for our surplus produc tions, which it is the policy of protection to secure; and they stimulate our .commercial operations, and our carrying trade by re serving to our vessels the enjoyment of I vileges conceded. Again your attention fa drawn to articles SO and 21, establishing such a guarantee of personal treatment at will insure safety to the interests of our citizens. Another line of adverse argument remains to be considered. It is said tbis class of treaties is an infringement upon the consti tutional rights of coo_Tea«, In that they Continued on Foarth Pa--;*. ***=nran=====s«*Mnnßßßn_a__B_a__n__^__P STATIONERS.
