FLORID! FOU HIKES.
Although the injunction of secreey
has not yet been removed, it seems
to be understood at Washington that
the Electoral Tribunal has decided
that Hayes and Wheeler are entitled
to the four electoral votes of Florida.
It is scarcely necessary to say that
this, result is a disappointment, not
only to the Democrats, but to a very
large number of honest Republicans,
who have long since reached the con
clusion that by every principle of
moral right Tilden and Hendricks
should bave received "the electoral

who approve and those who disap
prove or tins decision to wait in pa-
tipncp for t.hfi final result. The de
cision who is tojbe our nextPiesi-
rMTt has not yet been reached, nor
will it be until the work of the Elec
toral Tribunal is concluded. There
' are many legal questions yet to come
before that body, and not until the
v-&Fy last one is settled will the Pre
sidential election be determined.
Then, and theu alone, shall we know
who has won the coveted prize. -
The same necessity for good tem

plan was founded still exists, and will
continue to exist through the varying
scenes of the struggle, and until the
final and decisive point is reached in
the declaration of the result accord

It will be observed from our tele

case was reached by two of the Re
publican members of the Commission
on grounds fatal to the final success
of Hayes.

Richmond Dispatch Special.
Washington, Feb. 8.
Tho feeling among politicians is
more quiet since the ruling of the
Com mission has become better under
stood, but among the Democrats
there is a considerable number who
think the chance for the success of
Tilden in the Presidential race is very
slim, and there is a very general
dreart that the tribunal may yet con
tinue its former ruling so as to prac
tically exclude from consideration
orach of-lhe evidence the Democrats
snKmrrtRd in joint convention through
the President of the Senate.
Morton and Garfield look more
cheerful than they have for a week.
Thurman says the Democrats have
gained a great victory in the prelim
inary skirmish. Jencks (Democrat)
of Pennsylvania, considers the orders
not unfavorable. Terry, of Virginia,
says eight can't beat seven. Foster
(Republican), of Ohio, says God and
. good luck are with Hayes. Rusk (Re
publican), of Wisconsin, says it's all
right. " Ben. Hill deprecated the ap
parent division by party. Senator
Dennis (Democrat) of Missouri, gives
up the case. Chief Justice Waite
says the question decided is merely
preliminary, , divesting the case of
much matter unnecessary to be con
sidered, and it is a victory for neither
party. Senator Wallace (Democrat),
of Pennsylvania, does not think Til
den's chance jeopardized, though the
decision is somewhat unfavorable.
Walker, of Virginia, thinks Tilden'a
chance as good as ever.
Special to Richmond Whig.l
Washington, Feb. 8.
The prospects of an upright and
impartial decision by the Commission
are far from being good. Few Dem
ocrats now expect the vote of Florida
to be counted for Tilden. Messrs.
Edmunds, Miller, Garfield and Hoar
- no longer take any pains to conceal,
even in public, their, partisanship.
From Stroner and Frelinehuvsen
nothiug is now hoped. The only
hope now seems to rest in Judge
Bradley, and that is a rather slender

one." So far J udge Bradley has given
a party vote on the material issue
and an independent vote on trivial
and unimportant issues. He may
improve when it comes to Louisiana.
L. Q. W.
Special to the Index-Appeal.
Washington, Feb. 8.
The counsel for the Democratic
party in the Florida case hesitated
about making the point as to the in
eligibility of Humphreys, because on
the facts it was so much weaker than
three or four other cases of the same
kind they have in reserve; but they
did make it in deference to some
leading men of the party, and fully
and" ably argued it.
Mr. Merrick is confident that on
this subject, as it progresses, whether
we succeed . or not before we sret
there, Oregon presents an irapregna
n able barrier.
The argument on the Florida case
has been made in anticipation and
with a view to allthe cases, and the
object of counsel has 4een to place
the Commission in such a position
that, though they might decide
against us in the pending case, - they
would be committed upon some ques
tion which would secure us a favor
able decision in cases hereafter to
come off.
If they decide against us in the
Florida case, it must be on the tech
nical ground of the jurisdiction of tbe
Returning Board, and such a deci
sion must inevitably throw oat Loui
siana. If they decide against rns on
the case of Humphreys, tbe .question
has been so made that they must de
cide in our favor in the case of Watts
in Oregon.
The counsel are not apprehensive
at all about the election of Tilden.
They only fear for Hendricks, and
are of course distressed at the parti
sanship of the Commission, but be
lieve that this is only apparent.
The arguments on the merits were
made to-day by Judge Hoadley, of
Ubio, and Green, of -New Jersey, for
the Democrats, and by Evarts, of
New York, and Shellabarger, of Ohio,
for the Radicals, and was closed by
R. T. Merrick for the Democrats.

Tbe Concert. .
Visitors to the Opera House last evening
enjoyed a rare musical treat, and this fact
had evidently been anticipated, judging
by the large number present
The concert was certainly delightful, and
reflected the highest credit on all partici
pating. '
It would indeed require a much more
thorough knowledge of music than'we pos
sess to discriminate, especially where all
was so charming; and we can but add our
acknowledgments to those of the large au
dience' who reluctantly departed last even-'
ing enraptured. ; . i
There has been such a dearth of amuse
ments at the Opera House this season, now
nearly passed, that we ' must have appreci
ated any effort on the part of amateurs,
but in furnishing such a truly artistic en
tertainment as characterized the perform
ance last night we not only feel a gratefal
appreciation, but would desire to express
pur highest admiration at the musical skill
exhibited, which is rarely excelled by' the
most experienced professionals.
We congratulate the recipients of the
benefit on their flattering success.
Ineendlary Fire.
The residence and store adjoining, the
property of Mr. C. Jackson, situated on the
corner of Third and Wooster streets, were
destroyed by fire yesterday morning, be
tween 4 and 5 o'clock, the conflagration be
ing no doubt the work of an incendiary. A
colored man by the name of James Strud
wick,living in the neighborhood, discovered
the flames and awoke the family in time to
save the furniture- and most of the stock,
though some of it was in a damaged condi
tion. ;
Mr. Jackson's loss is estimated at about
$1,200, upon which there was an insurance
of $700 , in a company .represented by
Messrs. Taylor & Giles.
We understand that several attempts
have heretofore been made to set fire to the
building, on the last occasion, which was
ouly a few weeks ago, a box of matches and
a bundle of charred lightwood being found
under the store, and immediately beneath
a large kerosene oil can which stood io one
corner of the building. After this last at
tempt Mr. Jackson dispensed with the can
and stopped selling Che oil, bui the floor
had become thoroughly saturated with the
inflammable substance in that particular
part of the store. The fire of yesterday
morning, from all appearances, originated
in the same portion of the building.
We learn that Third street, in that sec
tion of the city, is in such a condition that
the engines could not get near enough to
be of service, .while the facilities for ob
taining water are also sadly deficient.

A Deserter Comes to Grief.
A deserter from the United States army
was brought down on the train from Robe
son county, yesterday, and sent to the gar
rison at Fort Johnson on the steamer J. S.
XJnderWL. The man, whose name we did
not ascertain, is a native of Robeson, who,
it appears, enlisted some time during the
year 1871, while troops were in that county
operating against the outlaws. In three
weeks after enlisting the newly made sol
dier deserted. Several times since then he
has been arrested for being concerned in
some difficulties and lodged in jail. About
three weeks ago he again got into trouble
and was consigned to his old quarters, soon
after which Sheriff McMillan telegraphed
to United States Deputy Marshal Neff that
he had a deserter in his custody, and de
siring information as to what disposition to
make of him. The Sheriff was advised to
communicate direct with Col. Pennington,
in command at Fort Johnson, Smithville,
which he did, and received instructions to
send him to that post. The regiment in
which' the man enlisted is now, we .under-'

No danger need be apprehended from an attack
of Pneumonia, severe Coughs, Consumption, and
various other Throat and Lung diseases, or even
Croup and Wnooping Cough among your children
when BoscHU's Gxbjcah Srnup can be obtained
of any Druggist in the United States. One 75 cent
bottle will cure any case. It is a great blessing for
our people to know that they can tray this prepara
tion in Baltimore. Sample bottle 10 eta.
CoHsuxpnvxs Takk Notice ! Every moment
of . delay makes your cure more hopelets, and
much depends on the judicious choice of a re
medy. The amount of testimony in favor of Dr.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as & cure for Con
sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates
of many persons of the highest respectability, who
have been restored to health, after being pronounced
Incurable by physicians of acknowledged ability.
Schenck's Pulmonic STrup alone has cured many,
as these evidences will show; but the cure is often
promoted by the employment of two other remedies
which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these
medicines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck cer
tifies that most any case of Consumption may be
cured. ;
Or. Schenck is professionally at his principal of
flee, corner Sixth sad Arch Streets, Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters for advice must be
addressed.
