C., Jan. 11,~The Oregon {nvestigation brought the $8,000 check ouo step nearer Tilden, Runyon, the New York banker, who produced his books to purge himeelf from contempt, testifled that the §8,000 check had been drawn on his tirm at the request of Conrad N. Joran, Cashier of the Third Natlonal Bank of New York City. This s the bank where Tilden s snld to do business. The transaction was unusual, as no money or collateral was deposited. It was amatter of honor between the two bauks, Jor- dan cspeclally requested that the transaction should not appear on Martin & Runyon's books, and the amount was churzed on the books per sonally to Runyou. It {s safd that Gov. Tilden is a Director in this bauk, and thatEthe busincss was done by Jordan on bis acconnt. It {5 pe- garded as u very curfous circumstance that a Casbier accustomed to sending hunidreds of checks each day should take such a roundabout way of sending 24,000 to Oregon, if the transace um‘:i n bonest one.

THE FINAL COUNT, WIAT THE CONFPERENCE COMMITTEES ARE DOING. Spectal Dirpatch to The Tribune, Wasmngzon, D. C., Jun, [.~It 1s generally understood In Washlugton that the Senate Come mittee on Countlug tho Electoral Vote agreed to-day on some mods of procedure, but all the members of the Committee arc very varcful not to dlscloss anything about thelr procecdings, Accordlug to one report, the recommendatione of the Commilttes are asicuted to bLyull fts ntembers, buth Republicans and Democrats, but according to another a mitnority, understood to be of the Republivans, have refused to concur futhem, Very little cau Lo lesrned of the na- turo of the recommendations, but it is widely belicved that they include an agrecment onthe part of both Iouses that the Electoral vote of no State shall be refected except by the concurrent action of LOTH BHANCHES OF CONGRE4S} that tho right of Congress to go behind the cere tlficate of the Guvernor aud to determine for 1tsclf the valldity of auy vote recelved shall be recoguized, and that while reasonuble tline sbull begiven to each House for discussion of all questions that may urlse, the debates shall not continus to such an extent as to prevent the aunouuccment of the result of the Presidentlal question before the 4th of Murch next, The recommendatlons of the Senate Commit- tee are to bepresented to the Housc Committee, it ts understood, at s Jolut neeting this even- ing. An {nfluential Northiern Democrat, & member of the House, eald to-day that he bad no doubt both Houaca would agree ta certain regulations touching the mode of procedure; they would sgree that the President of the Beoate will not under any clrcumstances couut the Electoral vote, and that Congress shall GO BEOIND TUES YACK OF TUN CERTIFICATE. and fuquire as to tho validity of the vote of any CHICAGO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1877. State, He did not think that sn agreement of this kind would settle the controversy. The queation of fact in reaard to the election fn sev- eral of the States would still be open, and it would be more difficult to reach a determination on that than on the mode of procedure, This gentleman takes very libers] ground for a Demo- crat, He holds that the report of the Louistana Returning Board 18 TALID, unless it s proved Ly the Democrats that the members of that Board were gulity of willful fraud in making up thelr returns. e says that there I8 no rule of law recognized by the courts which would authorize the review of the pro- ccedings of the Returning Board on the ground that they had not deckded In accordance wwith the evidence, or that they were prejudiced, or otherwise personally unfitted to perform their dutles falrly, and judiclally, The only way fo which thelr decislons can be revised ts by PROVING WILLFUL PRAUD. This he considered would be exceedingly diffi- cult, At the samo thne bo believed that the public conscience was so sensitive that if con- clusive evidence should be produced between now and the time when the countlng of the Electoral votes takes place that the returns of Louisiana were not made to represent the will of the pcople, honestly and freely expressed, the Republicans wonld” not attempt to profit by the fact that legally they would have a prima facle care. In other words, he dii not belleve that clther party could afford to or would inau- urate its President, If a rcasonable doubt ex- F-tcd {ip the minds of sny large portion of its adlicrents as to the honesty of his election.

Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune, Wasmixaros, D. C.,Jan. 11.—~Themost promi- nent managers of the Tilden intereat here among extremo Democrats, after two wecks' consuitation and labur, have comploted an ar- Rument sctting forth a plan by which they pro- pose to securs Tilden's clection by the House. The argument has been placed fn the hands of a Senator to be delivered as u specch upon the question of the Electoral count. A gentleman who huas heard the document road gives the fol- lowing as its poluts: Ftrst—That, under the proviston of tiae Con- stitution specifying that all certificates of Elect- oral votes shall bo opened and counted In tho prescnce of the two House of Cangress, no provision is made or direction given a8 to who is empowered to judge of the correct- ness nud sufliciency of the returns. Al this, it 1s contended, dependa upon another provision, that In reference to the duty tmposed upon thy House of Representatives to proceed and clecta Tresident In the continzency that there {s no election, and requlring that the Iouse, in vot- ing, shall vote by States, Second—The positions assumed as followlng frum the sboveare that, inasmuch asthe respon- sibllity under the coutingency is solely with the House, the House {s necessarily empowered to Judgo and determine whethor the contingency Las arfsen; that consequently it {s the Imperative duty of the Houac to cxerclse supcrvisory control over the count In order that it may un. derstandingly ascertaln §f the contingency thus provided for by the Constitution has or has not arisen; tbat, therefore, the House {s en- Juined to examine and scrutinize all returns made to the President of the Senate; that tho House must do this fu order to judgoe of the correctuess and sufllelenty of tho returns; that the contingency thus beinz mado tu appear, the Houre {3 commanded to proceed to an electlon, votihe by Btates, TAlrd—That by tho requirement that the House in proceeding to an election shatl vote by States, the unu.o’f- made to stand in respect to the vontlngency as the representative of both the people and the Btates to the exclusion of the Benate, and therefure the vonclusion {s aguln drawn that with the House resides the ab- solute jurdsdiction over the count. The “gentleman consulted in regard to tho matter says that it is the inten- tion of thoss who have subscribed to the arzument to {nduce the Democrats of the Houso to declare Tilden duly clected President, or tu proceed to elect him President, and subse- quently proceed to his inauguration, There Is 1o doubt that the above plan has been deflnite- 1y wdopted by ne:rle; all the extreme Demo- crats, and that numnbers of those regarded as rather moderato in views are counted upon for co-operation, WASHINGTON NOTES.

Mysterious corner conferences were never so much the order, not vven in the duys when E. M.

Every man here now is o repository of myateries, A giance at their faces is enough to disclose ft. What stores of Informatlon any one of a few hundred men here would give out if only tapped by the interviewer's auger! There's QKN BINGLETON who, ns a rule, knows alittle more than any- budy ¢l4e to be found here during the scssfon, —n hale, well-preserved fellow, full of interest- ing reminiscences, and possessed of an nccurate knowledge, as o rule, of 1lllnols Solons, and who, in conscquence, has been one of the stock sources of news supply for the correspondents.
