The count of the electoral vote is now agitating Congress. Tlio Journal prints a special saying that Hayes has made known to his friends his purpose to do his duty toward inducing Congress to provide some plan for counting the electoral vote, either before the adjournment or at the extra session, which ho is disposed to call for the purpose if the matter is neglected the present session. He may send a message urging action near the close of the session. If ho should call an extra session for this subject it is believed it would place Congress in a position where it would be obliged to take definite action. There are many Democrats who desire to have the matter settled before the general election takes
place.
The reports m regard to the coming National Nominating Conventions multiply as the time of holding them draws nigh. One of the Democratic members of Congress, who strongly favors the nomination of 'i ilden says the idea that Tilden wanted the two-thirds rule repealed by the Cincinnati Convention was erroneous. Said he: ‘‘The maintanauce of the rule Will not hurt Tilden, and he has all along been in favor of standing ty it. The invariable custom in National Democratic Conventions has been to respect the will of the majority whenever it declared itself. Whenever a candidate has obtained a majority his strength has been argumented on the very next ballot by votes enough votes to give him two thirds, and so it will be with Tilden. Just as soon as he gets a majority vote, and he's sure to do it, mark my word, enough delegates will change over to him to give him the two-th irds rule. Take the Pennsylvania delegation, for instance: They will vote nearly solid for Tilden when he is shown to have the support of a majority of the Convention.” Last week we noted the fact that the Constitutionality of the adoption of the Constitutional amendments is to bo tested A dispatch from New Albany says: ‘‘Mr. Kelso went before the Grand Jury Friday and procured an indictment against Swift for refusing bis vote. The indictment entirely ignores the adoption of the Constitutional amendment relating to
It seems that there is one aspirant for Vice-Presidential honors out of thp way. Hon. W.E. English, of thisState, is reported by iheCincinnatiEnquirer to have said: “I wish *o say I am not a candidate for vice-president. I never have been a candidate, don't want to be a Candidate and don't expect to be a candidate.and all the gossip in the newspapers ami otherwise about my aspiring to a place on the presidental ticket with Samuel J. Tilden or any other man is utterly unfounded. If I knew any way to make this more emphatic, and quiet these rumors, I would do so. I am not a candidate for any office, and there are precious few I would accept, even if tendered without my seeking. I have enough of my own business to employ all my lime more profitably and pleasantly than in office-seeking or office-holding. My name shall not be used in the Cincinnati convention in antagonism to Governor Hendrick’s with
my consent.”
Tm: Cincinnati Enquirer of Monday published a special report fromXowYork, as follows: A special conference was held here to-day, which was important on account of the caliber of the politicians engaged in it rather than on account of the number. Samuel J. Tilden, W. H. Barnum, Chairman of the National Democratic Committee; Win. Whitney, son-in-law of Henry B. Payne, of Ohio, and Speaker Sam Randall wore present by arrangement. Bill Scott, of Erie, was expected to bo present, but, much to the disappointment of Mr. Tilden and his friends,Jfailed to put in an appearance. Scott's absence is not attributed to accident or pressure of other business, but to a disinclination to ally himself with the Tilden interest at this time. He took enough interest in Tilden’s campaign in 1878 to invest !f”>0,0(X.) in it. It is now hinted that he will not only make no further investment in that connection,but will appear in the political aacna with a free lance, which m .y be turned with dire intent against the sly old man of Gramercy. The situation had to be canvassed without Scott. The position of Mr. Tilden was considered in all its bearings. It was admitted that the necessity for his withdrawal might arise, and that it was better to face the contingency and prepare for it now, so that Tilden might fortify and hold enough reserve force to name the man if he should not be able to get the nomination himself. The result ol the conference, or rather of the first session of the conference, was thatTilden authorized Whitney, Scott and Randall to withdraw his name from the Cincit
