Two seis of Eloctoral votes from South Carolina will bo submitted to It, but the Democratic Con- gressionol Committee which bas investigated the Presidentlal olection In that Stdte has of- ficially announced thatthe Bayes Electom wore lawfully chosen and duly certifed, Bome of the voles from the otlier Btaics which remsin uncounted inay be challenged, but they cannct be tlirown out uuless both Housescon- car, conscquently the Commisslon has REALLY COMPLETSD THE TASK intrusted t 1t by Congress, and, by indorsing the votos of the three Orecon Ilayes Eloctors to-day, has decided that a completion of the count will show that Rutherford 8, Hayes hos 185 Elcctoral votes. Uuder the Constltutlon and the laws, as cxpounded by the Elcctoral Commlasion, hic is eutitled to be Inaugurated ns President of the United States for four years from. tho 4th of March next. The voto of Oregon, decided to-night to have been Riven for flayes and Wheeler, has given the Republicans no little anzicty,—not that they doubted that the people of Oregon had given a majority for the Republican candidates, but beeause of the deliberate and deep-lald schiemu concocted and carried out by Tilden to defraud and yob that people of thelr Electoral votes. The decipheriog of telegraphie. corre- spondence RETWEEN GRAMBRCY PANK AND OREGON has dumonstrated the cunning villniny by which ihls was 1o be committed, and it was confident- 1y hoped by the Democrats that tho same legal grounds upen which the Republicans recelved the votes of Florids and Loutslana would war- rant the rejection of one Republican Electoral vote. = This would have msde a tlointhe count of Electoral votes, snd have thrown the clection into the House of Repre- seutatives, whicti would, of course, elect Tilden, The scheme was adroltly planned, but it would not bear the legal test applied ta it by the Canr mission whicls bad been cstablished by Demo- cratic votes. The cengincer was holst by his own petards i TUB PRINCIPAL SPRECHES made in the Commission to-dsy wire By Benator Bayard and Representatives Abbott snd Hunton againat the thinl Republican Elector, and by Judge Bradley jusupport of thethroe Republican Electors, He touk the ground tbat the Secretary ot Btate of Oregon is made by law tho can. vasslug or returning oficer of the Btate to count the votes and detormine who have buen elocted to the oflices named therclu, which is to be done in the prescaco of the Governor, The Goveruor takes no part In the canvass ordo- termination of tbe result, but s SIMPLY REQUIBED 7O BE PRESENT AS A WiT- E8S, and then be s required to grant a certifl. tats of election to the person havlug the highest number of votes, snd s thus precluded, by express provislon, from passing upon . questions &g to the eligibility of candidates, hls duty belng peremptorily prescribed by the statuto to grant a certicate to the person bave ing tho highest number of votes, While the Governor's cortificate shows two of the Hayes Electeni~Odell and Cartwright—duly appolnt- cd, and the certified abstract of votes proves tha " Oregan, does 1ot contaln or cartify the constilu- certificate as to them to be legal and suthorized, ftinshown from tle eame evidence that, asto Cronin, the Governor's certificate on its face cives ¢ ¥O TITLE TO THE OFPPICE, . becanse it deea not certify, as the law requires, that hie recelves the highest number of votes, but only that hereceived the highest number for pereons eligible. Admitling that Watts was incligible on the 6th of November, the other Electors had the right, and it was thelr duty, to 1 the vacancy en the 6th of December, and he was unquestionably then eligible. As Watts was in possesafon of the office, except when he reaigned and was re-elected, it was impossible tlat Cronin could have been at the same tiho clther an Elector de Jurc or de facto. TUE FINAL DALLOTIXOG showed that the ontire Commission, rising for once out of the- slough of Democratic partiranship, indorsed Judge Bradley's views as to Cronin. Judge Thurman was not able to he present at the deliberations of to-day, but 1t was deemed advisable that his vote should be obtained. Senators Bagard and Frelinghuysen were sent a5 a commiiteo to ask whether it would ‘be agrecable Lo him for the Commission to adjourn to his resfdence, and, recelving an. aflinnative answer, they went there in carrisges. ‘They were ushered Into his chamber, wlhiere NE LAY I¥ BED SUPPERING YROX NEURALGIA, and, Judge Clifford having called them to order, the varfous resolutlons were proposed and suc- cessively voted upon., Cronin was kicked out of the question by an .unanimous vote, and, floally, a resolution introduced by Mr, Morton, that the votes ot the Republic- an Electors should be counted, was passed by vole of 8to7. The proper paper announcing these facts hod been drawn up ab the Capltol while the Committec had gone to walt onJudge Thurman, and [t was signed by the eight mem- bere of the Commission who voted for it. THURMAN'S ADSENCE. The Commission t!ded over s scrious crisis to- day, which threatened results that might have prevented tho timely concluslon of its work. Benator Thurman did not appearat the meeting during the day. The argument went on untll 3 o'clock, when the closing speech, made by Judge Bradicy, was concluded. Then Senator Bayard read a letter from Alrs. THurman, stat- fog that her husband was in bed suffenng in- tonsely from neuralgls, and thas it would be {mpossible for him to lesve the house. Tho contingency provided for by the Eleet- orsl law of the disability of ome of the members had plainly arisen. The requirements of the statute aro fmoerative that a vacancy occurring from euch a cause should ‘be filled by the appolntment of o new member. ‘Whicn the Democrats made propositlous 10 ad- fourn w. {nform tho Scnate that A VACANCT LAD ARISEX forit to 01}, they were met by the suggestion that a committce be sent to Mr, Thurman's houso to inquire 1t the Commission could not wait upon him and obtain lils vote. This waa assented to, nnd Messrs, Bagard and Freling- tuysen set out on this mission. Republicans felt that a eerjons danger had passed over, 1f tho sick Gommissioner.bad ro— s fo seo his colleagues, his place must have been flled, and the new member would probably have {nsisted on baving the whole case argued ever again, and'thus two days 'WOULD HAVE BEEY LOST fn this critical perfod, when overy hour is precious. Gathering up their papers, the four- teen Commissioners, with their officers, took carriages and drove to Thurman's house, As the string of vehicles drove up to the door, and the processfon of pgravelooking men filed acress the sidewall, Mrs. Thurman remarked that 14 fooked ltke » funeral, The tribunal was first ushered into the pariur, whea ove of the Democrats suggosted that it would not be lawtul to vote there, aud send up-stairs for the sick man’s vote.

TRIBUNAL PROCEEDINGS. THURMAN ADSENT. ‘Wasmnaron, D, C., Feb, 23.~The Electoral Commlasion reassembled in secret session at 10:80, and remained in consultation on the Ore- gon case four and 8 half hours, At 8 o'clock, discussion being concluded, and Senator Thur- min not having been able to attend the sitting on account of {liness, & recess was taken, in order to sscertaln whether Le would prefer coming to the Capltol, or that the Commission ahould procecd to bis residence,and there trans- act the buainess Incldent to takiog the vote. A committae, consistiog of Scnators Bayard and Frelinghuysen, was appointed for this purpose, and reported Ia due time that Senator Thurman preferred to recelve the Commlssion AT 1118 HOUSE at 4 a'clock.

The caucus of last Baturday night was supposed by the Republic- aos and Democrats alike to have spoken not only with authority but tinally in opposttion to all schemes of fillbustering; but the amall minority, so bverwhelmingly defeated on that occasion, as subsequent events hiave proved, was by no means dlsposcd to accept the sitoation or obey the mandates of the party. LED BY APEAKRR RANDALL AND DAVID DUDLEY rieLp, assisted by & majority of the cxtreme men, who havo on all occasions refused toaccept in good faith the legitimate result of the Electoral Commission law, they immedlately resumed thelr plottings, and bave not sfnco wasted a moment or an opportunity fo promote thelr revolutionary schiemes, The circulation of s paper smong Democrats for the signatures of thosu who wore willlag to dis- obey the orders of the Democratic caucus and toengaze fu flibustering, whether & majority of their party approved It or not, has already been noticed.
