In the Stale Senate, on last Fnday, the , bill which had previously parsed the House : auf horizintj the purcliase of a opy of Pur- du"8 Digest for cadi memlier of the Leg- . ilaf-are, was reported from the committee having it in charge with a nfffutire re com- , mriidation.

Senatoh Wallace of ibis State, In dis cussing a few days ago tho action of the e lect oi al tiibuna!, quoted from the speeches of Morton nnd CJ.ii field the positive decla rations of these two radical members of the commission as to the meaning and require ments of the bill providing for the commis sion itself whm it was being discussed in Congress.

And yet these two d-.'iiMgogues, with tiiis lecord of theirs staring them in lite face, had themselves placed on the commission with a plain in tent to deceive and with a fixed and settled purpose to accept the return of Louisiana for Hye, although it was admitted that the action of the Returning Do.ud in that Stat.- wan vilely and ii, famously fraudulent.

After ; the endowment of ihisvilliany the end was ! clearly to be scon, and the Commission, as i a final and fearfu. admonition to the Dem- ocratic counsel, who represented a majority : of 2(50.000 of the honest electors of the ' United States, wlio had voted forSamnelJ. Tilden, ought to have had engraved in let- tersof black over the entrance to the Su- j preme Courtroom the inscription of Dante, j tbe Italian poet over the portals of another but nameless place, "Abandon hope, all ye I ... w in enter here.'' for Hradlev. with a mind capacious of such things, had resolved that the fraudulent election of Hayes should be its inexorable decree, from which there could bo no appeal. In common with the Democracy of the whole country we rested our hopes upon the clearand admitted ma jority of 8,000 for Tilden in Louisiana, and Cionio, a Democratic elector, and decided that Watts, a Hayes elector, who had no certificate at all, was eligible, anl that tho three electoral votes of Oregon should be counted for Hayes. It was done on Satur day last, and thus in three separate cases the partisan majority of this tribunal have declared generally that an accomplished fraud is sacred, and in the same three cases have contradicted themselves in regard to the eligibility of electors. South Carolina was reached on Monday, and as there were t wo returns from that State object ions were filed against both and all the papers referred to tho commission. The question was fully argued before the commission, and on Tuesday the eight votes of the state, by the magical figures of 8 to 7, were award ed to Hayes. There was a weak skirmish over one Hayes elector in Vermont, and one in Wisconsin, but of course they were given to Hayes, and then the curtain fell on the last act of th;'s most disgraceful drama. It is the greatest triumph o fraud in lLo political Lisforv of this coniifrr. and V,as fearfully shocked the honest notiiiesl SCnse of a vast majority of the American people. It is enough "to stir a fever in the blood of ago" and to cause the bones of m Andrew Jackson to turn in his coffin. But still the honor of the Democratic party, by the votes of its members of Congress, in favor of the bill creating the commission, is committed to its decision. Although it has been villainously deceived and betray ed, h can better afford to suffer a defeat which brings no dishonor than to incur the imputation of acting in bad faith. We are weary and sick of writing about this whole disgusting business and for the present cast it aside as unworthy of further consideration Some days ago a special dispatch from Washington to the Philadelphia Times suggested the possibility of Gov. Harfranft being appointed Secretary of War, and add ded that the only objection to Ha it ran ft is ono personal o the Republicans of Penn sylvania, which it., that it would leave tho State's executive in tho hands of Hon. John Latta, the present Democratic Lieut. Governor. The author of the dispatch also asserts that this obstacle was comparatively trilling, as tho Republican Legislature of t he State, now in session, could order a new election for Governor, and that therefore Mr. Latta's honors would bo only tempo rary. The writer or th's dispatch has evi dently never read tho new constitution of tli's State, section 13th, article iv, of which instrument provides as follows : In case of the death, conviction on im peachment, failure toqnalify, resignation, or oilier disability of the Governor, t)-dowers, duties and emoluments of the office, for the itnnnxnurr vj me rcr m, or untii ttin ilisattility ' i emu v rii Governor." shall devolve upon the Lieutenant j This ought to he and is as clear as the noon-day sun.

The deliberations of the caucus last night were mostly confined to the consideration of the two bills drawn by Mr. Field, the first providing for a re election, and the other instituting quo tear runto proceedings, but it will most certainly not favor any bill for a new election. If the emergency arises the Senate will carry out the plan foreshadowed in our previous let ter of proceeding with the count in its chamber and declaring the result. The House Democrats who want to break p the count claim today that they have gained strength enough by recruits to give them control, and they propose to exercise it. Some of them display a very ugly spirit in the matter, and assert that they do not caie what confusion arises. ItUODE ISLAND will figure before the public in this drama, as objections have been prepared to the vote of one of her electors on the ground that the Legislature appointed an elector in the place of Mr. Coiliss, who, according to tlie decision or the Electoral Tribunal, was not ineligible, and therefore the action of the Legislature, not. being in accordance with the decision of the Tribunal, its ap pointment of another man in the place of Mr. Corliss was not legal, and the vote cast by such appointee must be treated as a nullity. SOl'TIT CAROLINA. After the decision in this case is decided by the Tribunal there can be no legislative business done in either House until the electoral count is completed. This of itself will necessarily interfere with the passage of the regular appropriation bills, all 7.f which are at present in very g'od condi tion. THE FEELING OF THE PEOPLE. Democratic representatives are up to tin's time daily in receipt of telegrams from their constituents, particularly from the Noifiwest and West, urging them to do all in their power to secure a new election and to prevent the accession to tbe Presi dencj of a man whose ftJe is tainted with fraud and befouled with crimt. HAYKa'8 POLICY. A letter was received here last night from Gov. Hayes, in which he says that, tie will stand faithful to the policy of moder ation and conciliation towaid tho South. THE SENATE RErCm.ICANS will hold a caucus to-nig lit to decide defi nitely upon their programme of proceed ings to counteract any movement for delay which may be taken by the other side. CUNNIXO W.t.JDS. The saving clause in the electoral bill by which the mwjority of the Tribunal decided they had no Hiwer to go behind the returns was the offspring af Edmunds, as was in Tact most of the bill. The bill invested the Tiibuiiftl with the same power, "if any," to go behind the'returns ns possessed by the two Rouses of Congress. These two little words, "if any," which noone not iced when the bill was under consideration, did the business. One of t ho Republican members of the Tribunal, in chuckling over t he cun ning of Edmunds, said the inscription on his tombstono ought to be, "Here lie the remains of George F. Edmunds, 'if any,1" PKOBABI LI TIES. It is now rumored that Gen. Grant will recognize tbe Nicholls and the Hampton governments before he goes out of office, and that this course will meet tho approval of Gov. Hayes. THE SILYEU BILL. Senator Jones says he will make a ma jority report in favor of this bill as soon as ho gets a chance in the Senate. There will also be a minority report of one by Senator Boutwell, but the bill as reported by the majority will in all probability pass the Senate. ZACK CHANDLER saidVhere was no need for the Republicans "WM" money doihii ouring the election, because if the federal bayonets did not carry enough States to elect Hayes, they still had the returning boards to Tall back upon. The result shows that be knew what he was talkir.g about.

Two years since, although then an invalid, be was employ, ed by the family of Dr. M. W. Camplteil, of tii is city, in the capacity of waiting maid. For a time she was slightly service able, but her difficulty soon Vc wne more mgiavated, until she was completely dis abled. An ulcer in the stomach was the hypothesis professionaMy put forth by the physicians whom Lena consulted ; but she always stoutly maintained that a foieign substance was secreted. She was a great sufferer, nnd almost daily experienced pro tracted paroxysms of pain. "For the past four or five months, however. Dr. Camp bell has used a galvanic battery, which greatly mitigated Lena's sufferings, al though her general condition remained unimproved. Inability to reta in food was one of the most unpleasant characteristics of the case. Only certain dishes were fa vored with retention. A few weeks ago liena was removed to the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, No. 77 Federal street. Sunday evening she vomited vio lently, and feeling a substance rising in her throat, she thrust her fingers down be tween her tonsils and seized the offending lump, which was triumphantly captured. It was submitted to the examination of Sirs. Wilson and another lady piesent, who pronounced the slimy lnmp to be a dead frog. Lena, with true French impulsive ness viewed the ejected substance for a moment and hurled it into the sti.ve, fool ishly preventing an intelligent analysis of the equatie caicass. Iena is now slowly improving, and able to retain butter, sugar, cream, juicy - fruit, and fat food, all of which her stomach has heretofore reject ed." J Mr. Roreht Heller, a prestidigitatcnr of rate ability, is now pei forming his won ders in this city. Mr. Heller can, by his sleight of hand, draw bon.hona, ribbons, canary birds and, indeed, anything one has a mind to call for out of a hat in which but an instant before it was proved by ocular demonstration that there were no such things as bon-bons, ribbons or canary birds ; and the great beauty of it all is that you can't see how on earth Mr. Heller does it. The Electoral Commission now performing their wonders in Washing ton can draw electoral votes for Hayes out of Florida, Louisiana, or, indeed, out of any State which is passed up even If it is quite apparent to the aveiage spectator that there are no such things as Hayes electoral votes in that State at all. Now we know that both Mr, Heller and the Electoral Commission do their tricks by sleight-oMiaiid. But heie the similarity ceases. Mr. Heller is so skilful In his art that, however minutely we wateh him, it is impossible to detect him in his h ick. The Electoral Commission, on the other hand, does its trick so clumsily that any body and every body can see exactly ho it isoon. Clearly, therefoie, on the whole the prize of iiignlery must be awarded to Mr. Heller. When the two artists of old strove Tor a prize Zeuxis was found toha-e painted grajws so like nature that the lnds came and pecked at them. But 1 arrhasius had drawn a curain so per fectly that Zeuxis himself ordered it to be rs. , - d "Let ti e tn izi.

It was a good ' sized room, ceiled and walled with fence j boards. A stove, lamp, pick, shovel, axe. and other nselnl tiols were tbe contents, and the place bore evidence that many a hard day's work had been expended in its construction. The Philadelphia Ertnina Herald of Saturday, under the caption of "Something i about a man who wants to te locked up to le kept from the vengeances of counter- feiters," gives an account of an interview I between one or its reporters and Johnson Eckels, brother-in-law of James Anderson, j who was recently found dead on the track j of the Pennsylvania railroad between Har risburg and Baldwin. Eckels declares that in his opinion as an old railroader, ( Anderson was not run over by the cars, but. j was killed in some other way and laid on j the track. The motive Tor such a crime ' Lckels says was that Anderson was in possesion of secrets dangereus to a band of counterfeiters, and to escsie their veu- ! geauce also, Eckels seeks the protection of the police authorities.

Not long after lhe stealing of Charley Ross, a little son of Henry DiH-hinueior, of St. Lonis, was stolen. The father had but little property, and was unable to pay the excuses of an extensive search ; but be shrewdly hit upon a plan for accomplish ing the object effect ually. He read tho newspapers carefully, and whenever ho saw an account of the finding of a supposed j Charley Ross be sent to learn if the boy j was not his lost one. At length, two years after the kidnapping, he saw no account of ! a Rtray boy in Illinois, and, on goi.ig there, ! lie found what ne had ocen so Jong m search of. The child's hair had been dyed, atid he had changed much through sick ness and deprivation, but there was no doubt as to the identity.
