The lower House of Congress has nguin taken up the President's pay, and reduced it to $25,000. Last Tborsday the counting of the electoral vote was begun. The States vrere bJcen alphabetically. The count it. procee JeJ finely until Florida tea reached, when four sets of returns vera presented, three of them being feu- Xii Jn electors. Their case looks a good deal like that of a number of parties combined bidding for a con tract Is Washington the strongest con fidence prevails that the outcome of the eleo tonal count will be the elec tion f Hayes. In betting circles, the odds are two to one in favor of Hayes. The fact that Tilden is so plainlymixed up in the Oregon fraud, taints his character, 60 for as this is possible, and makes even respectable Democrats feel that he deserves de feat The result will soon be known. PiiUburg tiazette. President Grant's Message of Ap proval and the Bill to settle the Electoral Wrangle. Wasuinoton, Jan. 9, 1877. To the Senate of the Untied State : I folio tiie example heietofore occa sionally presented of coiniutiuicaliug ill this Diode my approval of the " act t provide for aud regulate tbe Counting f tbe votes for President aud Vice Presideo aud tbe decision of questions arising therefrom" because o uiy ap preciation of tbe iiuuiiueut peril to tbe institutions of tbe couutry truui which, in ray judgment, tbe act affords a wise and constitutional means of escape. For the first tuue in lb history of tbe country, tinder tbe constitution, as it now is, a dispute exists with regard to tbe result of the e'ection of Cbief Mag istrate of tbe uatinn. It is uuderstod that upon tbe disposition of dispute touching tbe electoral votes .''aft at tbe late election by one or more of tbe States depend tbe question wbetbr one or tbe other of the candidate lor tbe Presidency is the lawful l bief Mag. istrate. The importance of having clearly tscertaiued, by procedure regu. lated by law, which of the twj citizon ha bean elected aud having the right to this high office recognized and cheer fully agreed in by all the people of tbe republic, cannot be overestimated, and leads me to express to digress and tbe nation tuy great satisfaction at tbe adop tion of the measure that afford an r. - derly means of decuion of tbe gravely exciting question. While the bistory of our own couctry in it earlier period shows tbat the l'resideut of tbe Senate ba counted the votes and declare! tbeir standing, our wbol history show that in uo iu. stance of doubt or dispute bas be exer. cised the poet ot deciding, aud tbat the two houses of Congress have dispo ed of all sueh doubu and disputes, although in no instance hitherto have they been such that tlieir decision could essentially have effected tbe result. For tb first time, then, tbe Government of the Cuitrd States is now brought to tuet the question as one vital to the result, ni this under cot anions uot Lest calculated to pioduce sgreemeut or to induce calm feelings in the several branches of Government, or among the people of tbe country. .Id case, where as iow, the result is involved, it is the highest duty o? the law making power to provide in advance a constitutional, orderly and just method of executing the Constitution in this most interesting aud critical clause ot its provisions. Tbe doing so, far fioiu being a compro mise of right, is an enforcement of right and an execution of the powers conferred by the Constitution on 'Jon-gret-s. 1 think that this orderly method lias been secured by tbe bill wbich, sp pealing to the constitution and law as its guide in ascertaining right provides the means of deciding questions of sin gle returns through the direct sction of Congress, aud iu respect to double re turns by a tribunal of inquiry, whose decisiou stands, unless botn houses of Congress shall eoneur in determining otherwise, thus securing a definite dis position of all questious of dispute, in whatever aspect they may arise. With or without tbi law, a all of the States bsve voted, aud as a tie vote is impos sible, it Kv.il be tbat one of tbe two candidates has been elected, and it would be deplorable to witness sn irregular controversy as to which of the two should receive or which should continue to hold ffice In all peiiods of history controversies bare arisen as lo the succession or choice of chiefs of States, and no party or cit izen loving tbeir country and its free institutions, can sacrifice too much of mere feeling in preserving, through np. right course of law, their country Irom the smallest danger to iig peace on sucb au occasiou, aud it cannot be impressed too firmly in tbe hearts of all people tbat true liberty and real progress cau exist only through cheerful adherence to constitutional law. The bill purports to provide only for tbe settlement of questions arising from tbe recent election. The fast that sucb questions can arise demonstrate the ue cexiiy which, 1 can not doubt, will, be fore long, be supplied by peru-snent general legislation to meet cases wbich have not been contemplated in tbe 'on. stitutiou or law of to ouutry. The bill may not be perfect and its provis. ions may not he such as would be best applicable to all future occasions ; but it is calculated to meet tbe present con dition of the quest ioo. The couutry is agitated. It reeds and it desires peace and quiet and bar icony between all parties and all sec tjons. It industries are arrested, labor unemployed, capital idle and enterprise paralyzed. By reason of doubt and anxiety attending tbe uncertainty of a double claim to the chief magistracy of the nation, it wants to be assured that the result of the election will be ae eepted without resistance from the sap porters of the disappointed candidate, and that its highest officer shall not hold his place with a questioned title of right Believisg tbat tbe bill will se cure tbess ends, 1 give my signature. U. S. Grant. Exscctivi Massioh, Jan. 29, 1877. Witness Maddox from Louisiana Virtue Within the past week a great deal of testimony ba been taken by the com mit tees of Congress as to the election trowbtes in the Southern States. A man named Maddox and others from tbe State mentioned were in fbe stand. If tbeir testimony it true, tbe return ing board of Louisiana was eager to sell ont to either tbe Republican or Demo rratio party, whichever one would pay ibein toe million of dollar. Tbe witnesses say Secretary Cameroa was applied to; be refused to have anything to do with tbe bad Woik. Hewitt was applied to; be refused to have anything to with it. Just bow much truth there is in all the testimony is hard to tell. Tbe counter swearing is terribly contradictory, and almost immense in quantity. Maddox said : Mr. V ell stated that he would like to serve his parry in making a return in favor of Hayes, but be would not lake the risk uulessbe wa paid for it. Mr. Well said tbe uiaj irity was very heavy, aud too much tor bim to handle, aud lhat he did m.t know wheie to com uieuce to thiow out. lie said the prob ability wa he would have to throw out tbe vote of New Oileau on the ground, ss witness thought he meant, of ne ressity. Mr. It ells ssked biui to go to Washington, see influential men and obtain protection fur him, and also to see whether he could not get the requir ed money In satisfy bmi. Mr. Well Said be ouKhl to have $1,000,000 Tbe witness showed t the President and Se. retary Cameron the two letters add:esed to bim, bv Governor Wells. He told the Secretary that Governor Wells wanted money, fc?t the Secre tary declined to have acvt'ung to do with the matter. Tbe first negotation failed. Govern or W ells stated to witness that be wanted for himself and General Ander son at least $200,0u0 apiece aud a smaller sum for the darkies or negroes of tbe Returning Board. When tbe witness returned to New Orleans be bad communication with Governor Wells about the failure negotiation. Governor Wells suggested tbat the wi'ness sbonld endeavor to make some arrangement with tbe Democrats. The witness made so effort in that direction, but did not succeed. Witnesses, Wells and Anderson. Governor Wells and General An deison certified just to the opposite of Maddox before the Congressional Committee. Wells denied all Mad dox said. The Ieniocrsts wanted to buy the Board, but could not An derson said : A gentleman came to my room at 1 1 o'clock at nifht, Dr. . A. Roo""' a state Seuaur, aud said to me tbele was au opportunity to make a good thing, aud tbat 1 would insu.-e the State for tbe Democrats ; I replied that was a subject 1 did not wish to entertain ; be assed me to tbiuk over it ; I replied tbat it would be useless for me to do so, and before he left the room be erne ted a promise of me to meet at the St. Charles Hotel at 6 o'clock next evening; 1 promised to meet him, in order to get rid of bim ; I did not meet bim ; he came to tbe board and oalled me out, inquiring why I did not meet bim : 1 Mid I bad forgotten, when be replied j it was t.x important for me to forget ; 1 said to bun, ''1 d'i not want you to converse any further with me on the subject, and if you wish to retain hit friendship y"0 will never agiin mention it." Dr. Koheson was a Democratic Senator, and the conversation was on the 24tb or 25th of November. "The Mississippi Plan." A dispatch from Washington un der date of the 3d, say : The investigation into the conduct of the late election in Mississippi was continued before the Senate commit tee on privileges and election this morning. J. T. Let-ester, president of the Ilines county Board of Regis ters, testified that there was a con ference of the leading Democrats of Hines county held at Riymond a short time before the election, at w Inch it was proposed to furnish one of the Democratic judges of election at each polling place in Hines county with a duplicate key to the ballot-box in their respective polling places. Witness furnished 'about fifteen of these duplicate keys to different men. all of whom were white men, and who, he thinks, were Democrats. He remembers that he slipped a small parcel into the vest pocket of one of the judges, remarking as he did so, " Here is something which may be of use to you." Witness does not re member who this man was. He tho't, however, that he was a man whom he (witness) could trust. In giving the keys to the judges witness did not tell them what use was to be made of them. He did not use one of the keys, and does not know that any of the judges did. Henry Outlaw, of Aberdeen, Mon roe county, Miss., testified that all the political meetings which the col ored Republicans attempted to hold in his countv during the late cam paign were broken np by armed Dem ocrats. Witness was at a meeting in Aberdeen during the month of Sep tember last, and at that meeting sev enteen colored men were shot Some of thein were killed outright and others were so seriously wounded that they have since died. The Democrat bad a practice of riding through Monroe county at night, taking colored men from their beds and whipping them, and he and many of bis race had slept out of doors tor several nights previous to the late election, to pretest being dragged from their homes aud whipped. Witness was wounded in the shoulder by a bullet at a politi cal meeting in September last. On taking the witness stand Mr. Out law asked to be excused from testify ing, for he said he should not dare re turn home if he told tbe whole truth. Do not Want it at a Fancy Price. The indefinite postponement of the bill to remove the Capital was much better than submitting to the votei of the State a proposition asking tbem to add to tbe debt of Philadelphia fire or six millions of dollars. V ben tbe I omnioi.wealth wants its seat of govern ment here we will welcome it. If tbat time never crmes we can stand it, and certainly don't propose to bnv the honor at a fancy prise.
