Special Dispatch to The Tridune, Wasmneton, D, C., Fcb. 21.—~When the House nssembled this morniug the obfections In the Nevada case were read. - It then appeared that they mnust have been made for dilatory purposes, for Springer, who moved them, di- reetly after thelr reading offered s resolution that the vote be counted. There was, in pofut of fact, no cvidenco to sustain the charge of in- eliglbllity, 1f there had been, the Democratic cnge would have falled, for counsel were blunderlng enough to chargo that the Elector named had been a United Statcs Commissioner, when they should have tharged that he was # Clerk to tho United . Btates Court. The objectlon, therefore, was falso on '{ts face, and under the law could bo atlowed. The Democrats were, nevertheless, unwilling to surrender any conslderable portion of thu two bours sllotted for debate, aud they were consumed {n general ddiscusslons of tho Electoral Contmnlssion, All the Democrats who spoke announced thelr intention to ABIDY THE RESULT. The Nevada vote was counted without objec- tion, as wns the case with Michigan yesterdny. The Joint Conventfon reassembled about noou, and {n un hour's timo the Oregon case was sent to the Electoral Commission, Bome minutes before the Oregon vote was called, Son- atar Kelly, whom it was expected would be kent fu lis scat bvaosense of shame o¢n account of lis conncctlon with the attempted; corsup- tion of the Electoral Collego, was upon his feot eazer to be recogpized. Kelly presented ob- Jecttons to tho certiflcate of the Ifayes Electors, 1t 18 a very aignicant clrcumatanco that uo strictly Bouthern Benator or Representative signed these objectlons, Tho Representatives whoa did, with onc or two exceptions, belong to the fllbusters who have been defested for re- electlon, and are cager for office under Tilden. SPRINGER'S LITTLE GAME, T0 the [Testern Assacialed I'ress. Wismunatoy, D. C., Feb. 21.—The House met at 10 o'clock, but & full hour was consuied in ascertulnlug whether thers wus a quorum present, and In the reading of the testimony to sustaln the ubjection 1nade yesterday against tho Elcctoral yuto of R. M, Doggett, of Nevada. Mr, 8pringer, whomada tho ubjectlon, offered a resolution that the vote be counted, aud oxe plained that an error had been made in do- scriblug the otlice held by Doggett as that of United Btatcs Commlssloner, white tho testl- nony showed that ho held tho offlee of Clerk of the United States Court. After s number of speeches of no special sig- nitleance were made, the vote wastaxen un Spriuger's resvlution, that the vote of Doggett be counted, and it wasagreed to without adivision. The Seuute was then notlfied that the Houso was ready to continue the count, and the two Lodies wet 1n joint sesslon. JOINT SESSION, At 11:15 the Beuate and Jiouse metin joint convention, Tha prealding officer having called the meeting to onler and directed the readlng of the rcsolutions of each Houseju favor of counting the votes of Novads, a teller then an- nounced that Novada had cast 8 voles for Hayes and Wheoler. Then followed, in succession, tho States of New Hampshire, with 8 votes for Iayes snd Wheeler; New Jersey, 9 votes for Tilden sud Heodricks; New York, 85 votes for Tilden and Heodricks; North Carolina, 10 votes for Tilden and Hendricks; Ohlo, 23 votes for Hayea snd Wheeler, OREGON. ‘The presiding officer now opened and handed to the Tellers tho first cortificate reccived from Orcguu. 1% was read by 3r, Stone, and proved to bo tho sworn cestificate of the thres Haves Electors—Cartwright, Odell, and Watts, exocute cd before a Notary Publle. The paper captatus 4 full statement of tho dolngs of the three Electors, the resignation of Watts as Postmast~ er, his subscquout chofve by the other two Electors, the orlglull ballots cast by the three Electors, ete. They wero read in full. The preslding otticer thea bunded to the Tellers the certificato uf tho three rival Electors—Cronln, MMiller, und Parker, authenticated by the sizoa- tures of the Governor and Socretary of Biate, witl tho seal of the State attached. ’{‘hh certifi- cate gives two votes to Hayes and Whecler, and one vote to Tilden and Headricks, * OLIECTIONS, Benator Mitchell preseuted nbietllunl to the certlficate of Cronin, Miller, and Parker, on the folluwing grounds: First, hecause neither of the said persons was ever appointed an Elector by the Btats of Ore- gon It uny manner whatever, g Becond, becausc it uppears from the records and gupcfl wbtaived in usnd attached tothe certifleates ot W, H. Odell, J. C. Cartwright, and Juan W, Wutts, that they wero dulysp- pointed Electors and cusy thelr votes as suc ‘I'hird, because (¢ does not appear [rom the face of Gov. Grover's certificate, stfached to tho roturns of the votes of Cronin, Miller, and Parker, that such a certificato was lssucd to the threo persons having the highest uwmber of votes for Electors, but was fssucd to perenns whomn he deemed eligible, thonugh one nf them (E. A, Cronin) was ot appointed thereto ac. cording to the Jawa of Orcgon, Fourth, hecause it “sppears from the certificate of 8. F. Chedwick, the Becretary of State, that Odell, Cartwright, and Watts reccived the highest number of votes, snd that the Secretary of State, In pursusnca of law, declared ft,and that, therefore, the cer- titicate of the Governor, in g0 far as it omitted to certify the nameof J, W. Watts as one of Electors “appolnted, and in #o far ss such cer- tiflcate contalned the name of E. A. Cronin as one of the Electors apnofnted, fafls to con- form to the nct of Congress in such czsc made and provided. and to the Iaw of Oregoni and that such certificate Is, as to sald Cronin, with- out authority, and of no effeet. Fifth, because It appears from both certifi- tates that Odell and Cartwright, a majority of the Elcetoral College, wers duly appointed Electors for Oregon {n the manner directed by the Legislature, That their rocond wus (rrn- sented to the President of Lhe Senate, and by him to the two Tlouscs, shows that o w'.umnt'?v in the offico ut Elector existed on the day fixed by Jaw for the mecting of the Electors, and that such vacancy was filled by the appointment of Watts. This objection Is signed by Senators Mitchell and Sargent, aud by Represcntatives JLawrence, Burchant {I1.), and Ml DEMOCRATIC ODJECTIONE, 8enator Kelly presented objections to the certificate of Curtwright, Odell, and Watts. It was signed by Senators Kelly, Bogy, McDonald, 8tuyenson, and Couper, and_Kepresentatives leld, Tucker, Lape, Jonks, Walling, Clymer, Wigginton, Poppletun, Vance (Dhilo), Hurd, aud Luttrell. _The grounds of the objections are: First—The papers purporting to be certifi- cates of the Electoral votes of Oregon have not anuexcd to them thevertificales ol the Governor of Oregon, as required to be imade and annexed h{ Secs, 136 and 138 of the United States Re- vlsed Statutes. Sevnd~The papers have not annexed tnthem allst of the names of Cartwricht, Odell, and Watts as Electory, to which the seal of tho State of Oregon was aflixed by the Beerctary of State of Oregrun, and signed by the Uovernor and Sece retary as required by 8ct. 60of Chap, — of the eeneral Jaws of Oregon. Third~1t. was the tight and duty of the Gov- ernor of Oreizon, under the laws of that Btate, to grive a certificute of electlon, or the appuint~ meat ns Electors to John C. Cartwright, Will- Ham 1, Odell, and E. A. Cronin, thoy being the thres persuns capable of belngz appointed as Presidential Electors, who recelved the highest number of votes at the election held in Oregon Nov. 7,18i6. FourtA—Cartwright and Odell had no right or authority {n law toappomt Watts to bean Elector on Dec, 6, 1878, as there was no vacancy fu the oftice of Presidential Elector on that day. Aii—Cartwright and Odell had no right or authorlty lu law to appoint Watts an Elector on Dece,” 8, 1870, fuasinuch na they did not on that day compose or form any part of the Elcct~ oral College of Orecon, ns by law canstituted. Sizth—Cartwright and Odell had oo author. ity to appolnt Watts an Elcctor on Dec. 6, 187t hecause on that day Watts was still the Post- master at Lafayctte, ‘Ore., aud was still on that day liolding sald oflico of profit and trust, Seventh—Watts, who claims tu'be an Elector in the ahove-described cortificate, was, in Feb- ruary, 1873, appointed Postmaster at Lafayctto, Ore., and was duly commissjoned snd qunllnefl as such Postmaster. that belng an office of trust and proiit under the United States, and con- tinued tobo and act as auch Postimaster from February, 1873, until after Nov. 18, 1870, and was acting as such Postmaster on Nov. 7, 1870, when the Presidental Electors were appointed h{ the Stats of Orczon, and that he wwas (ncli- ‘;élhlo to bo appolnted as one of sald Presidential eclors. Lighth—When the Governor of Oregnu caused lists of the naines of Electora of the State to ba made and certitied, such Jist did not contalu tho name of sald Watts, but id contain the names of Cunwrlim. 0Odejl, and Cronin, who were dul appointed Electors of President and Vive-I'resf- dent of the United States, in tho State of Ore- gou, Nowv. 7, 1870, ' PURTHER ORJECTIONS. Mr. Lawrence presented further objection to theo certitleate of Cronin, Miller, and_Parke, on the cround that neither of them 4iad been ap- pointed a I'residential Elector, and that Odell, artwright and Watts bad been duly clected, nud bad east the only trug and lawful votes of the 8tate. ‘Tins paper is sizned by Bonators Mitchell ana 8argent, and by Reprcgeutatives Lawrences Melrary, Hale, snd Banks, .. 2 3 BOUTII CAROLINA. : The 8cnate haviig retived, Mr, Bayler, Chalr- man of the 8clect Committes on the Electlon in Bouth Caroling, submitted the report of the majority of that Committee, accompanied, how- cver, by no resolutiun, Frinted and recom- suitted, . " All the objoctions to the Oregon cortlficates having been presented, they were referred to the Eleetoral Commission, and*the Scnate re- tired to {ts own chamber. IN TIE SENATE, the Scnotors waited the mnotifieation of the House declsion In the Nevadu case, which was reecived at 11:40, when tho Senate proceeded to the hall of tho House, The Scnate, having returncd from the joint conventlon, the legislative businces was re- sumed, . THT ORXGON CASE, My, Mitchell, from tho Comnittee on Privie lezes and Electlous, submitted n long report in the case of the Oregon Elcctors,and asked that it be Yflnuul in the sfecord. Ubjection was made by Davis and Kernan, who claimed the report shiould be printed as other reports, The rcport 18 very voluminous and sum- marizes the law and facts connected with tho fuvestization, 1t sets forth that ot the time Watts cast his Elcctoral vote, he wus cligible; that under the laws of Qregon the Secretary of 8tato {8 tho cauvaesing oflleer, and otllelally de- clared that the Republicau candilates for Presl- dential Electors had recelved the highest num- Ler of votea: awd that the Governor tssued his certificate to Ouell, Curtwright, and Cronin, in- stead of Odell, Cartwright, and Watts, 1t also sets forth fucts relative to the cipher telegrams passing between pronounced Deocrutle lewl- ers, und concludes with the exoneratfon of Senator Relly in connection with the testimony reganling lils indorsement of certuin tete- grams, of the contuuts of which, ho stated before the Benate fn explanation, be had no knowledze. Mr. Mitehell withdrew bls inotion and the report wes ordercd printed in the usual wan- uer TIHTE COMMISSION AT WORK IN BARNZST, Bpecial Dispatch o The Tribuna WasmnagToN, D.

Meeting at 11 o'clock, the Commission took a rocess until (ho objcctions appearcd, each oue speaking ono hour fn tho followlug order: Benator Kelly and Represent- ative Jenks sa ubjectors to the recoption of tho Ilayes certficates, and Sgualor Mitchell and Represontative Lawrence objectors to the Tilden cortificates. Before Judge Lawrence had cou- cluded his argument, which was especially able, 1t was nocessary to light the candles, but when he closed, sbout a quarter past 6, there wss no disposition to adjours. Judge Hoadloy, the aculor Tilden vounscl, asked for an extension of time, only $wo lours being ale lowed to the counsel ou cither side. Judge Bradloy, of the Cominisafou, sald he thought in the prescat exigency extension was wrong, and Scnator Mortou also opposed it, but the Commission finally declaed to give counsel on cach side TAREE HOURS AXD A UALY, which {s ta tnclude what they have to aay onthe reception of testimony, and It was further de- cided that tho arguwmcots should commence, after an hour's recess, in the Senate Clam- ber. ‘The Commission and the lawycrs thon adjourncd to the Benato reataurant, where they dived with that fraternal good-fellowship which characterizes the legal profession amid its fierc- est contegte.
