Npeclat Dixpateh to The Tribune. Wasuiseroy, D, C., Dee, 10.~In brief, the political outlo rom here at present geems to bethis: The Republicans, belleving they have it conatitutional advantaze in having the Senate vount the vote, ntend to keep thut advantaze. The Demovrats, untll Feb, 14, hope to force mome menasure which will give them an advin- tage. Falling that, they bluster now of the possibilities ol chaos afterwarls, The South- ern Dewmoerats continte to talic of o peaceful adjustment of the difficulties. The DLUSTER AND TUREATESINGS meanwhile are conflned to Nortbern Demozrats, One Democratic Congreasman from New York, who would not like to seo his name in print, said Friday night, before leaving for that city, that ho was for peace, but that il it became nee- essnry for the lnauguration of Tilden as consti- tutional Preslitont, he could raise 100,000 men in Now York City in ten days’ thne; that, more- over, ho was conneeted with several hanking jo- stitutions which had $800,000 In Governinent Douds, and that, befors he returned to Wash- fugton, he SIIOULD BEVER 1113 IUSINESS RELATIONS with theso institutions. In the coursc of this conversation this gentleman also sald that, during the last War, a large portion of his wealth was comprised tn small stones (liks these)—pointing to somo fine dimmonds ho wore, Ile said he did this becauso he wanted to e able at any time to carry away the most of s wealth In his boot-leg, The gentleman {8 a prominent Tammany Congressman, THE PRESIDENT. ME PUBLISHEY IS IDBAS. o~ Wasnixatoy, Dee. 10.—Presldent Grant, in the course of o long, free conversation to-duy with a vepresentative of the Assoclated Press coucerning political affairsy sald that recently he had reccived a dispateh from Gov. Clhiamber- lain informing hitn that it was currently report- cd in Coluimbia that the President hnd, In his interview with Representative Hewltt, of Now York, n week ago, remarked that, when sixty- three members of_the South Carolina House of Representatives, holdiog certlileates from the Secretary of State, should convene, he would recognize them as the legal House. TNE PRESIDENT IN REPLY to Gov. Chamberlala telegraphed him that, §f Hewlitt had sent or authorized the sending of such a dispateh, it was untrue that he had so expressed limself, The President aavs he had a free und agrecable conversation witn Hewitt, 1n which he entd that, In Lis judgment, not less than sixty-three members were eligiblo to organize u House aud transact buslness, in- cluding a determination of the qualltication of {ts members. This was the view he then held, but ft wus . MERELY A PRIVATE OPINION, and he might have been wrong. The Preshilent on thut oveaslon furthor expressed his views with regard to the grounds on which cach wing ormember of the House respectively claimed thelr seats, and, in this conucction, the I'resle dent produced s A NoTn nddressed to him by Hewitt, dated House of Representatives, Dec. G, us follows: 4o the Prestddent 2 | have cd a reliabletela- grawm from Colinmbin stating it the sixty-third Mmember holiing a certificate from the Secretary of State, hax hieen aworn into the Houso presidod over by Spenker Wallace, which is, thereiore, ore gunized fn accordonce with tho requirements of law, aa stated by yon, ANOTHER NOTB. On tho same duy Hewltt sent him another note as follows: 1 huvo Just recefved a later dispalch saving that the Supremo Court of Houth Carodinu has yro- nounced it fwdgment, and declared thy Honse presided over by Walluce fo bo tho legaliy consti- tuted Honss of Representatives, and it Mackoy in o private person, not Speaker, or fn ooy respect an oiicer of tho leglslative body, MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. Tho President sald, with relerence to thess notes, thut he did not think, after his fres con- vevsatfon with Hewitt, that the latter would inuke usc of what lie suld for the purpose of de- feating the party which the President repre- sented, When Hewitt and Sonutor Rondolph culled on N, sevoral days uge, bie fnfurmed Hewitt of tho vontents of a dispateh he had re- cetved from Gov. Chamberlain, and the reply ho mude to it, snd futimated to Fewltt that ho thought lis confidence had been sbused, NEWITT DENIED that ho had sent to Columbia such a dispatch as that mentloned. The President theu repeated to Huwitt the substance of the dispateh in ply to' Gov. Chamberlain, as to the report cur rent i Columbla. Senator Randolph then pro- duced o dispateh from Gen, Mumpton, I which he sald that, I the President would recogulzo the Wullseo House and withdmw the troopm, UE WOULD DO EVENYTHING IOSSIILE TO PRE- : HEUVE TUB PCK, The Prosldent yemarke!d that bo looked upon this us a pices of fupectinence on the part of den, Hampton, ju tellimg bt what to do; that the seuding of troops to Houth Uarolina was In obedienes to the call of Gov, Chamberlaln, the danger thero belug too formidable for the suthurities of the State to control; that orgon- {zed riflo clubs, revresenting Gen. Hampton, were fn the City of Columbly, aud that if the Foderul troops should be withdrawn there would be peace, but it would by 3 THE REST OF DEATH, . Benator Raudolph then expluined that the Prestdent shiould not think that Gen, Hampton suught to adyise what to do, and thut the dis- N PRICE FIVE CENTS, paten which was shown ta tho President wasa | reply to one that Senator Randoiph had sent ta Gens Hampton In respouse to a question. The President sald he haul NEVER INSTIUCTED GEN. DUGEI to place troops fn the State-ouse, but that was ay Gen, Ruger understood his orders. The troops were fn South Curollua, the Prosfdent repeated, in obedlencs to the call of Gov, Cham- berlaln, to suppress an Insurrection too formid- able for him tu control, aud, had Itnot been for these troops, Gav. Chumberlaln would bea refugeo to-lay, as Gov. Anies now fs from Mis- slssippl. Thes Prealdent sald, in tho course of the cunversation, that NE LOOKED ON THE SITUATION AS EMDAR- RASSING, to ray the least. A good deal of bad temper hud been shown on the Demacratte slde, and many were acting unreasonably, They seemed to fenr that he was dofng what was right, and were abusing everybody for nut ylelding to thelr “views., This atruck him os strange, con. sldering the scenes through which we have passed. A COMPARIZEON, Gov. Hayes representea the party that car- rledin the lute clection all but four of the Stutea that furnished the means for the sup- presslon of the Rebelilon, and Gov. Tilden car- ricd uil but. three of thuse which sought to de- stroy the Union. 1IN ALLISION TO FRAUDS, he sald the najority for Tilden in the City ot New York was larger than his total majority in the entlve State, il fn which ety much erime I+ perpetrated,and wheve there ks o large number of men who lave very little fnterest fu the State or the Republic. IN THI SAME WAY frauds were committed in the States of New dersey and Connecticut. While it was true that those fu the Southern States who gave Gor. Tilden a majorlty were voters, many of them voted more than once; hut nobody claimed that Tilden did not earsy such States, The same party that perpetrated frauds fu the Southern States for Tilden complain of frauds In Florida, Loutsiana, and Bouth Carolina. But {f there had been no frands In Misstasippl, North Curolina, and Arkanens, those States would have gone for Iayes and Wheeler, LAUIENS AND EDOEPIBLD, ‘The President justifled the exciusion of Lau- rens and Edgefield Counties from the South Carolina rettirns on the ground that Gcorgiana voted fu them frequently, aml cast mure votes than there were voters. Much had been safd nbout the uee of troops, but, considering the munber of lives sacrifived, end the muny volit- feal murders I the South, ft wos necessary to offuril the reauired protection. The President thought that all wus quiet now in the South, and, g0 far us ho could, he would protect every one from violence. All steps taken tu this end bad Leen duly consldeyed, TIPEACHNENT. The President, fn reply to a remark that it seemed the Democrats had abandoned the idea of impenching bim, soid he would advise them not to attempt it, for ft miznt brivg out evi- dence which they would not lke to sce spread on the records, 1113 LAST MESSAGE. He would rather trust the Rebels than thelr Northery allfes, and he bad trled to say ns much 1n hi¢ aunual message. e did not receive ail the reports from tha Departments {n time, and therefore he was obliged to leave out of his messngze many subjects to which otherwiee ho would huve atluded. He suld, in reaponsato a question, that e would answer the House resolutinn, and fnform them why ho sent troopa to the South, Auong other things, tho President sald, tn responsc to inquirles, thut there were 600 or 800 troops In Washington. If there should he any necessity for more, e would order them hither, “WE SUOULD NAVE PEACE, |? WE NAVE 70 FIGIT Fou 11" +Some days he received tive orsix lettersthreat- ening assosslnation, but: hie palll noattention to them. A craxy man ouce: followed him six months, threatening to take his life, and this person, Lo belisved, was placed in the fusane asylum. When he flrst came to the Executive Mansion, he found a military puard there, but be inmedintely caused {t to be withdrawn ana sent uto the barracks, The President, refesring to the political complicativns, safd he had an abiding TAITH IN THE FEOPLE. As wao have ud one rebeltion,he did not believe tho nevple were anxlous for avother, and thought there would be some way out of our prescot diflleulties, OREGON. GROVER A TOOL.

His propoeition, which he gravely saya he mude to the two Republican Electors, to proceed to an organization and voting before Le produved the certificates under promlse to attach them to their final report, is so utterly astonishing as to leavo the Democrata without & word of defenso for the ldlot. They ulso admit ANOTHER FATAL HLUNDER on Crouln's part, 1le hilmself was appointed by the Governor ugon the theory that there had been no clection of w itepubliean to that place, und yet he (Cronin) prozeed to declare vacan- clea where the Governor hud certified to the legal election ol two other persons and placed the certificates of thelv electlon in Croniu's hands, ‘The Rupublicsns are enjoying Cronin's grotesquo story to fhe full, but thuse Demo- crats wha concerten the Oregon plot are far from satlsfied at scefnye it turned Into a farce by tho confeasions ot thefr own ageots, Thoy vow say that they nover expected o Tilden Elector from Qregon conld be counted, but they INTCNDRD TO USE TIB COMPLICATION which they were sevking to ralse there to force the Eenuta to wo hehind the returus of the Governor, aud thus vpen the waw' for tho House 10 cotnpel consideration of the Loulilana case, But there are puuny Democruta now who think that the matter Lus been managed in sucha bungling manner and in such pulpable violstion of State snd Nutlonal Jaws that it cannot sccure & womcut's conglderation by elthor llouse, BENATON MORTON, Benator Mortun will tuke the st opportunis 1y to atate the Orogon qucstion n tha Senate. ‘The law of Oregon {8 very plain and distinct, providing that *When there shall be any vacancy iu thy oflice of an Elsctor oceasloned by duath, refural to act, negicet to attend, or otherwlse, the Electors present shall jumediatoly proceed to 1], by viva-voro vote and u plurality of votes, such vacaney.
