MUCH DIVISION.
Washington, Feb. 23, A disagree
able feeling pervades politics this
morning. There is doubt as to the
action of Justices Strong and Bradley.
The irreconcilablea of the Democratic
party find they cannot secure the six
Democratic Senators necessary to read
objections sufficiently long to defeat a
result before the 4th of March, and Mr
Randall's ruhngi make ordinary par
liamentary tactica of calling the ayes
and najs ineffectual. There is appre
hension that should the Commission
decide to count Oregon, two for Hayes
and one for Tildfn, the six Senators
and some to spare can be found among
the Republicans to sign necessary pro
tests to consume the time.
Senator John Sherman i3 with Hayes
at Columbus. The rtsignation of Sher
man, to be followed by Haves' election
to the Senate and his subsequent ele
vation to the Presidency, and thence
to the Chief Magistracy, are discussed
here, if not at Columbus by Hayes and
Sherman.
It is determined beyond a doubt to
hamper the army appropriation bill
with provisions that can only be re
moved by the recognition of Hampton
and Nicholls. The day is big with
events, but affairs have so shaped
themselves that the best interests of
the South cannot be seriously affected.
Before the privileges and powers
committee P J Kennedy under cross .
examination testified that he acted a
week with the Packard legislature and
then went over to Nicholl's legislature;
did not solicit from Packard, Kellogg
or any one else support pf United
States Senate ; offered money to no
one ; may have said to some of Pack-
ards legislature that they would get
mileage trom Nicholls, because Nich
olls had money, and Packard had none.
Judge Ray of Louisiana on the stand.
The Senate passed a bill to remove
the political disabilities of Henry B.
Kelley of Louisiana, CAR Jones of
Alabama,; L B Moore, WF Carrington
and Samuel D Turner, of Virginia ; R.
C Gatlin of Arkansas; Wm Butler and
A H Gibbs- of South Carolina ; Wm R
Jones and R S Kenney of Texas.
Informal meeting at Speaker Ran
dall's house agreed that the army
Bhould consist of 17,000 men, , with a
proviso that troops should not be used
in support of either party of the dual
governments of Louisiana or South
Carolina.
THE COMMISSION.
Reported very unreliably that
Cronin's vote is rejected and that the
rejection of Watt's vote is now under
consideration.
; 3 p. on. Nothing to hang a doubt or
hope on.
. Recess of half an. hour taken to send
for Thurnian to vote on the question
of casting three Oregon votes for Hay es
A democratic Senator of the commis
sion is quoted: That the question is vir
tually decided, as eight members in
cluding Bradley have expressed them
selves in favor of this motion.
Midnight.
The Commission adopted a resolu
tion that the' ballots cast for Odell,
Cart Wright and Watts were the lawful
electoral votes of the State of Oregon
and should be counted for Hayes and
Wheeler. The vote stood- 8 yeas and
najest x :, ?:4f4
The House occupied all day in the
committee of whole in consideration
of sundry civil . appropriation bills.
When the paragraph was reached,
relative to the mail contractors in cer

point the Commission rose and the

The Louisiana Committee of the
House resolved to report the bill re

State. Recess. v
Directly after the recess a note was
read from the desk inviting the Demo
crats to remain for the purpose f hold
ing a caucus. When the hall had been
cleared of all other Representatives,
Representative Lamar called the meet
ing to order. He said that he had
been requested to suggest that the
caucus adjourn till half past 7 to night;
whereupon a member proposed Satur
day nignt, but the voice of the majority
was in favor of continuing the caucus
thi evening without an adjournment.
Representative McMaho i of Ohio,
moved that to-morrow a motion be
made in the Heuse, inuiting the Sen
ate to meet the Hoase in joint session
at 1 o'clock on Monday.
Representative Kehr of Missouri
offered a substitute, nafhely, that a
motion be made in the House inviting
the Senate to meet the House in joint
session to-morrow at 1 o'clock for the
purpose of proceeding with the count
of the electoral vote. To this Repre
sentative Neal of Ohio, offered an
amendment which Keher accepted, to
the effect that after the tiro Houses
shall have aset in joint session to re
ceive the decision of the electoral com
mission on the Oregon qui stion and
shall have separated thereon, the Hous
will then proceed to discuss the decis
ion. An e.irneitand rxuted discussion
ensued in which Representatives Vance
of Ohio, Knott of Kentucky, Sparks of
Illinois, and Lane of Oregon partici
pated favoring delay till Monday.
Representatives Hill ofGa, Brown of
Kentucky, WiUhire of Arkansas,
Harrison of Illinois, ,and House of
Tennessee, were in favor of invitingthe
Senate fco meet with the House to
morrow for the purpose of continuing
the count of the electoral vote.
Speaker Randall made a few remarks
counselling calm deliberation in view
of the importance of the question pre
sented. Representative Field of New York,
also spoke, briefly stating that he had
preparod two bills, one providing for
the election of President and Vice
President, on the first Tuesday in May.
The presiding officer "of the Senate to
act as President in the interval between
the fourth of March and that time,
the other bill previded for quo warranto
proceedings, so that certificates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency
can go before the Supreme
Court and there present their claims to
the office. Under the operations of
the previous questions a substitute and
amendment to McMahon's motion
were rejected : ayes 44, nays G6. The
resolution of McMahon inviting the
Senate to meet the House at 1 o'clock
Monday was then adopted by about 20
majority. The reasons given by several
gentlemen who were present at the
caucus for the delay were that the
House wanted time for reflection, and
fco prepare objections to South Carolina
and other cases.
A number of Democrats who didn't
sustain the delay left the Hall from
time to time before the close of the
proceedings, and others privately said
after the adjournment, that they would
not be bound by the caucus, as many
Democrats had purposely absented
themselves. Representative Willis of
New York, will under all circumstances
oppose the postponements contem
plated by MacMahon's resolution. No
action was taken on Field's two bills,
which Willis regarded as unconstitu
tional, and besides a quo warranto be
fore the Supreme Court, some of whose
number have decided against Tilden,
would be ineffectual. The Democrats
of the caucus who favored the imme
diate resumption of the counting of
the electoral vote, express their sur
prise that those who advocate to mus
ter such strong force and say that
many Democrats who will act differ
ently, were not aware that there would
he a caucus to-night as besides the
sixty-six who voted for delay scarcely
number more than i of the Democrats
of the House,

A Cardinal Declines to let Maheney's
Remains lie in the Cathedral.
Losdos, Feb 23 Cardinal Cullen in
a letter to the O'Mahoney funeral com
mittee says: "I am unaware that
O'Mahoney contributed any signal
service for his country but I beJieve
that he rather provoked hostile legis
lati n against us. I have been unable
to learn that he was a great benefactor
of the church. On the contrary he is
said to have written in a spirit hostile
fco it. He was the head centre of the
Fenians and collected large sums to
promote their absurd movements soon
after the Feniauism had been con
demned the church. If I were to allow
his remains to lie in the Cathedral, I
should seem to approve his religious
and public conduct, and his projects
relative to Ireland, a responsibility,
which I am not at all Snnfted to as
sume.
Failure of Commission Merchants.

cotton commission merchants failed.
