THE DEMAND FOR DELAY.
- .The only question upon "whiCh protni
nent Dernoerats'disagree, is, whether tali:-
ing into consideration the unprecedented
decisions of the Joint Commission and
their evident intention to pronounce the
judgment of. the Tribunal in favor of
Hayes, the House shall by its ac
tion so delay" the count, as to let this
week, which is as long as the cora-
inission„ as such, .can-. have 'an existence,
pass by, and leave the count' unfinished ?
'lErpim this _ subject Washington dis
patches inform ,us that Representatives
from nearly every State in the Union
have held tormal and informal conferences
to determine - upon it united course of
action. Of the Neiv York delegation, it
is believed that with :one exception, none
are committed to a policy. of delay for
the Purpose of defeating the count, and
nearly all have agreed to vote down any
proposition for a recess made for this
parpose. i Thompson„and possibly, Vank
Jones, Of New Hampshire, are the only
piiinocrais from New ;.England ;who will
support these prOpoiitiaps - for delay.' Lan.L:

tionary ineasures., Tho ,New Jersey,de!e•
with the exception . of Rois, whose
positioxi On the National Committee gives
importance, -is strongly op
posed-to delay, and will vote in opposi
tion to dilatory motions. l3oth Harden-
burgh and Cutler stand' committed to an
immediate completion of the count. •• In
Pt nnsylvania,Randall de6no,llis position
but is • understood to be' ready to abide by
the decision of the majority 'in its gen-
eral policy. Cochrane is, the only mem
ber who is" outspoken 'in favor of delay,
and is willing to push all measures tend
ing to this, to the utmost. Nearlyevery
other member of the delegation, men
319ntroFe. Pa
like Maish and , Powell,- are throwing the
weight of their influences to-day in favor
of an acquiescence in the result. The .
single Representative from Delaware fol
lows the advice of his Senator, and has
voted against all dilatory motions.
Crossing the Alleghanies, the strong
hold or those who propose at all . hazards,
by all means, and on every occasion to
delay the count to the utmost, is the Ohio
delegation. With the exception of Payne
and . O'Neil, all the members of this dele
gation favor delay, awl of this number
I only two, Bancroft and Sayler, hesitate.
'They have receive' strong remonstrances
against such a policy. All the other mem
ders of the delegation are in receipt of
letters, despatches and telegrams iurging
them to prevent the inauguratioirof Mr.
`Hayes. Senator Thurman, of Ohio, is,
hoiever, exerting his influence in oppo
sition to such a course, and in spite: of
his illness, has conferred with some mem
bers of the delegation, and has, at least to
one gentleman who called upon him, ex
pressed his decided opinion that the par
ty has everything to gain by going to the
people upon the igue made - up before,the
tribunal--an issue upon which he deem
ed success as certain as it would have
been had the Representaivessought their
constituents after aimed expulsion from
the capital. In spite of his Opposition,
however, fully one-half of the active, per
sistent canvassing in the interest of delay
and dilatory moß v ns, has been conducted
by members of the. Ohio delegation. They
haye been strongly seconded by the Indi
ana delegation, where but two members
are opposed to this. course, and received'
nearly equal support from Illinois. Rep
resentatives from the South have taken at
less active 'share in the agitation so far
than those from the North, but, with the
exception of the, Texas and Georgia del
egations, both of which are, strongly com
mitted to acquiescence in the count, nearly
every Southern delegation fuynishes some
men who favor delay. The. larger share
of leading and prominent men from-that
section, however, counsel moderate,action
as do thme from; Kentucky, Missortyi
.
and the extreme West. An informal con
ference Was held Ifonday, attended by
seventeen leading Southerner's, seven of
whom are ex• Governors, at which the pit

HAYES' CABLVET.
With the
,decision of the presidential
contest in favor of Hayes, eager specula
tions haye sprung up in regard to- the
next *cabinet. No *President 'ever went
into office under so heavy oblig4tions
Hayes. He must not only satisfy those,
who gage him an Ihoricst and conscienj
tious support, but - he must satisfy the,
conspirators who worked tip the plot to
pat him into the Preiidential office after
his defeat. This imposes on him a doable
obligation of which he: will be unable to
acquit himself. Gratitude will incline
him towards the conspirators Who clung
to his fortunes after - defeat, rather than to
the men. whose labors ceased with the,
November election. As to the minor offices
Hayes has 'pledged , himself in his letter
of acceptance to make no changes except
for cause, and the postmasters will hold
turn to his promise.
Chandler. and Cameron expect to be
rE-cognized as the leaders of •the adminis
tration; as they were the chiefs in the ne
farious plot to make Hayes. President not
withstanding has defeat at the ballot-box.
Agailist this programme it will be urged
that, no President has ever. continued in
office the cabinet of his predecessor. But
there are exceptions to all rules, and thin
is one of them.. No President ever went
into office before by means of fraud.
How will it be possible for Hayes to set
aside the pretensiins of the man 'who
gaye'him the, Pennsylvania votes at Qin
cinnati at the (:.'ecisiVe moment,. who s.-rit
troops into the South to oversee the
dons, and who - summoned a rniilt:try
force to Washington to inaugurate him
with.the •bayonet? At the same time,
how can our Fraudulent President over
look the claims of the statesman who
performed the double 'duty of cabinet
minister and chairman of the, republican
committee, who put the whole - official
-service of the government under, forced
contribution, andswho deluged every ave
nue of political life with corruption in
onter to elect hini t Hayes may dismiss
all the other advisers of Grant, and he
may refuse to summon -Schurz and J3ris
tow to his corms+, but - he cantiot . shake
off Chandler and Cameron. They. are
the chief engineers' of the fraud that
hoisted him into the Presidency, .and
they can't be disruissed 7 without danger
to the rotten mphinery. Whatever may
be, the cabinet" arrangement, Cameron
has gone= to Washiagton with full prepa
:rations to stay; and out. impression is that
be will stay. Hayes, in fact, cannot do
j without him.—lfarrisburg.Palriot.
Every democratic member of the elec
toral conimission declared against count
ing the Cronin
,vote., They would neither
count the nose of Cronin who was not
elected nor Watts, the postinaster, who

SHALL THE FRAUD BE CONS pt.
Florida Louisiana and Oregon have
been determined in,favor of Hayes by the'
electoral commission. This has been
achieved by a species of:trickery' which
would hardly be tolerated in a well regu
lated gambling house. In' the' Florida
case the commission refused to go behind ,
the electoral certificates except to inquire
into the alleged ineligibility of Hum
phreys, one of the Hayes electora.\
Louisiana came before the commission,
with two electors for Hayes' clearly ineli
gible, the order made in the-Florida case,
was overruli-d. and no' testimony was re-'
ceived concerning .the !ineligibility of
13rewster and Levissee. Next comes Or
,
egon, and the,commissioi f i fi nd it highly
proper not, only to go behind ,e Govern
or's certificate,but to overhaul the work,
of the secretary of state, who 'is the re-,
turning- board. Thus
,the. commission
contradicted and overruled itself -in these'
three cases in order to secare' the parti;
sari end which the mejoritY of , its..mem-,
hers evidently had in' view from the be
ginning. Bat its inconsistencies are ven
ial in' comparison with the great crime .
against the' confidence' and conscience of
-the Atherican people in refusing to in
quire into or consider- the hideous frauds -
(not merely alleged but already ascertain
ed by Omktwp houses of congress) upon
which the electoral votes of Florida and .
Louisiana .were returned, for ,Hayes.• The
unconstitutional vote .of a postmaster
'eleCtor would not have , hein contested
but to secure an honest and r inipartial in
v2stigation of the fraudulent r;:ittirtis by:
which the ballot box is to be overtnrown.
The Oregon lever having, failed to Pry
open the seals of Florida and Louisiana,
there yetremains anothei mode of 'effect
ing the object. The democrats of the
.house of repreeentatives need not violate
the letter or spirit of thee law creating the
electoral commission in - order to defeat
the trickerY and faithletsness
,of the red
publicans. The commission denied than
e fair hearing by refusing to consider tee
timony in regard to the fraudulent: re
turns. They can appeal froin the'com;
mission to the two houses. '[here'yet re
inains-several cases of inelgible electors
which ought to be considered-by congress,
and the &nab Carolinareturn can be and_ ,
ought to
.be assailed on thelighly legal
ground' that there . -4vaii registration of
voters in that fitate as required by law.
These;cases should, be carefully and
'thorougbly investigated, and if it appears
that the inquiry cannot be' conelud, d be

in due time pass -a bill 'providing for a,

There seems to be no doubt that thcAo

,Senator Conklin?,
had.been led to expebt that be .would ,
desert his party on the Louisiana mat
ter, and takink the same ground as Bay
ard and Thurman, divide the Senate sat- ,
ficiently to reject the monstrous decision
of the Commission, counting 04 vote of
that State' for Hayes. At the last mo
ment hefailed and those who would glad
ly have followed snch,a leader in a struggle
for the right, quietly submitted to the
party lash, and helped to fasten that
great crime, the, theft of a State, ußon
the Senate.
In. this ,connection the Phila. Times
says: Conkling might as ? well have
jumped when he had his- coat oft and had
swung himself to give the necessary im
petus to his flight, for the Republicans will
. ;lever. forgive him for contemplating the
revolt, and the Demecrats will never for-'
get their centempt 'for his failure to do
what he declared was demanded of him
by the viotated laws of fill nation. Such
opportunities come but 'once in a life.

made a reeord on the Louisiana case that
would have commanded the admiration
of the civilized world, and he just missed
doing it. In the unpromising future that
is now before • him, when he comes to
gather the, withered garlailds of a''party
