FEVERISH EXCITEMENT IN THE QUAKER CITY— SECRETARY CAMERON AND GOVERNOR M’COR- MICK CONFIDENT OF A REPUBLICAN VIC- TORY—THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VS. THE PEOPLE, PuILapELvuia, Nov. 9, 1876, This city is in a turmoil of feverish excitement, which seems to increase rather thao to diminish as the tontradictory telegrams from the doubtful States come ith more frequency and as the two parties claim with increased vehemence the certain triumph of their fespective Presidential candidates. The most con- “ tradictory ramors have been in circulationall day, and Doth sides ciaiui the country, SECRETARY CAMERON CONFIDENT. Sceretary Cameron tells me he is certain of at least 1,500 republican majority in Florida and that he is equally sure of Oregon. He seemed confident of a re- publican bational victory, OREGON AND VLOKIDA BURE FOR HAYES, Governor McCormick, Secretary of the Republican National Committee, was in Philadelphia, and he also smiled wm the suggestion of any doubt of Hayes’ élection. 1 asked upon what information his committco ciaimea Oregon, which Senator ‘Wallace, the head of the democracy of Pennsylvania, to-day told me was thought to be democratic, Because she had certainly elected democratic Congressmen, and there seemed no reason wny she should go the other way on the national issue? Gov- ernor McCormick says that a half dozen despatches have been received trom Oregon, from Portland and Salem, and widely spread towns, and that they all agree in the same estimate of 1,000 to 1,500 republican Majority. He does not regard Oregon or Floridaas at all in doubt, THR MONSTROUS FRAUD CHARGED. There is a serious charge against the administration party to-night that I would not deem worthy of notice but that I know it comes from the admis- sions of a man very near to Secretary © eron, and ftupposed to be fully in his con- fidence, It is nothing tess than that Secretary Chandler, who has gone to telegraphed to Florida intimal . Perhaps an order, lor republican majority, however smail, and announcing that arms and money will be furnished if necessary. This accusation ia so grave that I hesitate to send it, but it comes trom a source that cannot be ignored. ‘Un the other hand, it is claimed that the Returning Board in Florida is democratic to a man; that they have aiready received the returns, and that such a das- tardly scheme could not be perpetrated.

Governor Hayes eame to his office about nine o’clock, looking fresh and vigorous. He said he re- tired early last night, and, what is Letter, that he slept well He spent the morning Jooking over correspond- ence in his private office until the Cincinnati papers arrived, and thon wont home, taking the papers with him, He returned to his office at two o’ciock, and remained there until after five, receiving calls, During the alternoon he was cailod on by a delegation of Methodist ministers, with whom he talked about poli- tics and general matters for perhaps about five minutes, He then went into bis private office, where he was soon joined by a number of personal friends, among them ex.Governor Dennison, John W. Andrews, a well-known lawver,,and Captain Keller, Presidential elector trom this district, In answer to a question as to what he thought of the news from Louisiana, the Governor said:— THE GOVERNOR'S OFIXION. “I rather think we have carried It. I understand the democrats bave a majority in New Orleans, but our friends bave claimed if that city did not go more than 8,000 against us, we could make it up and salely carry the State.’? Keller asked, “Well, what about North Carolina??? “Oh, ag to that,’ answered Hayes, “North Carolina 4s against us, I think. 1 have information direct from Raleigh, which | consider’reliable, saying that it has probably gone democratic by some thousands.” ¢ NEWS RECEIVED. Private Secretary Lee now came in with a despatch from Sevatér Morton, dated San Franciaco and stating that the republicans had carried Oregon by 1,000 and California by 3,000, A despatch was also read from Hon, B. F. Piexotto, of New York, extending bis con- gratulations on Hayes’ election to the Presidency. The latter paper was laid down by the Governor, with the remork: “Yes, sir, Much obliged; but it would be better it ‘we knew more abcut a few doubtful States.” 4 CURIOUS FAMILY. ‘ Just then a mild-faced man put his head in the door and said:—‘Mister Hayes, please, 1 want my little family to see the Governor,” “Walk tn, sir, walk in, sir, Bring im your family,” answered Hay: in his cheery way, In response to this the mild-faced man walked in, folloWed vy his Mttie famtiy of nine persons, five of them children running in size like doorsteps. “This 1s Governor Hayes, mother,” remarked the fondparent of this group. “Mh! is thisreally the Governor and may be next President?’ answered tho wife, who had been ad- dressedas “mother.” ‘Well, I live in Pennsylvania, and I’m awful glad to have a chance to shake hands with a Governor.” Turning to her tow-headed brood the mother ro- marked :—“Children, this is a Governor—shake hands good naturodly shook each little hand and walked with them into the picture gallery, where be left them and reuroed to his private room. THE NEXT. CONGRESS. Mr, Andrews, looking up from the paper he bad been reading, said:— é “Why, see there ia a chance that we have the lower House of Congress, Did you know that, Goy- ernor?’’ answered Hayes. ‘1 saw in the papers that such was the fact, and it is certainly good news it it is true. I am not disappointed in that, With both branches republican we are in good tix, cortainly.” The Congressmen elected in several States were taiked about for some time, when a gentleman re- mark “Lam very giadto learn that oar fond Anson McCook has been elected in New York,” “Yes,” responded Hayes, “Iwas gratified at that, Mr, MeCook is a good fellow. He has m: iriends very soon in New York, and I shall be giad to see him in Congress."” A JOLLY IRISHMAN. “Where is next President Hayes?” rang out « loud thick voice ‘rom an adjoining room, and the next in. stant a shock of curly biack hair peeped in. In re- sponse toap invitation to walk in, jolly Irishman came in and ip loud voice said :— “Mister Governor—excuse moe, next President Hayes, you're elected, ‘by gemivy.’ I came from Cin. cinnati, and am the only Irishman who supported you. Next President, you're elected. I said so, and all my predictions came trae 1 congratulate you” “Thank you, tbank you,” remarked Governor Hayes, “Will you take @ seat?” “No, next President,” apewered the man; “I must go now; Phave lots of other boys to sce,” and be went out. . i Another gentieman now ocaine in with,g‘Well, Gov- ernor, do you give itup? I think we gone’”” “No,” answered Mr. Hayes, don't give it ap, al- thougn things do pot look as bright as they might, but we may stil pall through by that ove important vote.” The visitors now withdrew, and Govervor Hayes went home to supper, where ho bas since re- mained receiving despaiches andgreading personal letters, BOW THE GOVERNOR STANDS 17.

General Butler foresees the possibility of grave com- Plications in the counting of the electoral vote. In an interview with your correspondent this evening he ex- pressed himself quite trecly, and I herewith submit bis views ip full, OESERAL BUTLI vinwe, “It is hardly fair,’ said the General, “to ask me a question upon a disputed point of constitutional law without any opportunity for either reflection or ver- ifcation of my views; but as I entertain no opinion ‘at 1 am not always willing to express, 1 will give you the first view of tho subject ef your inquiry as tt trikes mo The Constitutional provision is that the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House Of Representatives, open all the certificates of the electors, and the States shall then be counted. The duties of those engaged in this work would soem to be—first, that the Senate and House must come to- gether; then the President of tne Senat @l the certificates then the to be counted Now, the counting of tho votes imples a scrutiny of them, an examination of them to see whether they are correct or drauduicnt. Whoever has the counting tm charge must be convinced that they are not fraudulent and that the certificate is @ correct and just one One haw only to suppose a forged certificate, which would not be counted. Whoever maj be entitled to cap examine the ci it ig a forged one. If they can examine the certiticate in ono particular it would seem clear that they could examine it inall Tnoretore I am of the opinion that whoever has the counting of the votea must bave oa right to scrutinize mo im every particular, aud if from any cause soy of them are deemed fraudulent they are to b jected. This, how- ever, is strengthened by the idea that this tribunals provided by the constitution to. count and scru- tinize the votes, is the one of last resort, and in the matter of scrutinizing elections the houses or body who are to make the tinal determination have the right to make the most exact and rigid scratiny ussible, receiving such evidence a8 may be determin- ihe to their own minds on the questions involved there. The question comes tous, Who is to count the votes? Not the President of the Senate, for he is to ‘open all of the certificates, and the vote shall then be counted, The constitution seems not to be explicit as to who is to count. But why bring together both houses if they aro not (to count or take any part in counting? Or are tho} croup together, as in» the provision in Maseachusetts, that the votes shall be counted in open town meeting simply as witnesses to the opening, decause the prac- tice has been never to allow any interference with tho counting by the people, they simply remaining to sce that it ts fairly and openly done. Bat surely both houses would not be called together as simply witnesses, Now we are without law on tho subject, and the joint rule of the two houses has been annulled. It would seem, therefore, that both houses must agree upon some pian by means of which the counting shall bo done, or they are without any guide. it would seem to fullow that each House would be a check on the other, because either House is only to withdraw from the conven! and thea tne countingeannot be done im the presence of both houses. It is dificult, there- fore, 1o see how any vote of afy State can be counted without both houses agree. It will be observed in constitutional provisions that there is no time limited at which the houses must meet, but oy law it 16 appointed ya the second Wednesday of February the certicatea of so many of them as have been received shail then be opencd, the votes counted, and the persons to ll the oftices of President ce President ay ascer- tained and declared, avd constitution. But it is clear that they must meet betore the 4th of March, or else there will a lapse of the executive branch of the government, tional provision nor no holding over of the President u| is appointed, or substitutes any officer ta take place. The ‘law which provides that in some cun| resident of the Set ceriain specifed cuses; and tingency of removal, death, resignation, or in ot both President and Vice President, neither of which would be the case which we are considering. Where no President i ted, then tts provided by law that whenever the office sof Presi- dent and Vice President both become vacant the Secre- tary of State shall cause notilication thereot to be made to the Executive of every Stato, and shall also cause the same to be published in at Jjeast one of the newspapers printed in each State, callmg for a new meeting to choose cleciors for President and Vico Preside! jo be chosen at the various times provided. But suppose that there is counting of the electoral votes bei and, if upon the counting no Prosi pears to be elected, then provision is that the ‘ouse ghall proceed toelecta President, voting by States, each State hating ote vote. Would that provision go mto operation in a caso where it appoared that there was no election? Because there was no counting will the present House in such case proceed to elect, Mr. Tilden having a majority nt or Vice-President ap- of the State? What is the remedy of the majority of the people if Mr Hayes is chosen? In that case will Mr, Tilden ‘be Presivent’ Or, suppose the House do not go‘into an election. Congress 1s disolved on the 4th of March by the expiration of the term of service of the House, As we have seen, there is no provision for the President to hold over, and no provision for his sqccessor in the Interim between that and a new elec- tion, What, in such case, isto bedone? =. ‘The gemius of all government is that the Executive must never lapse. The aunouucement is made, “the King 18 dead; long live the King,"’ in the same breath, Officers under most of our State constitutions and most of the officers of federal appointment hold until their successors are — uppainted. ds ‘it not then im accordance with the ‘genius of our institutions, and being a easus omillus in the constitution and laws, that the imeumbent should hoid over until his successor is appointed quali- fied. The law us we have seen having made provision within a hmited time for the appoimtment of a successor, would it not be tho duty of General Grant under such circumstances to hold on and see to it that the laws are faithfully execated until a successor should be duly chosen and constitu- tionally deel the good sense and sound judgment dy all patrione and just men agree to such mtorpretation rather thau to have anarchy, c@nfusion and perbaps civil war, with their dreaaful consequeaces?

THE “BALLOT BOX MANIA.” {From the Chicago Times, Nov. 7.) The superlative folly in the ballot boxing mania bas been reached in New York, where the law makes elec- tion day @ holiday, closin; ie banks, courts, public offices and even the schools. Tho statute is an abomi- nable humbug. ‘The devilis always ready with a job or idle bands, and while ‘the fathers gre turned upon the streets jor a day’s loafing, and exposed to tho temptation of something worse, the children will eradicable ‘object lessons’? in all the vices: and frenzied political excitement, incident An this city ube thon to follow the vicious example of as suspending busias re folly of shutting up reached. {t would probably be useless to argue against the absurd lengths to which the ballot box frenzy is carried; but intelligeut citizens will havo no difficulty in understanding thi re ig no necessary connection between able-bodied loaferism and the proper exercise Of the elective franchise. NEW YORK IN SUSPENSE, REMARKABLE SCENES BEFORE THE HERALD BUILDING AND IN 4LL OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY—GOVERNOR ‘TILDEN’S MOVEMENTS— POPULAR RXCITEMENT. Amfother day has come and gone, with its high hopes, its preponderating doubiqy its liimitable’ claims and its exactions on popular credulity. It has passed through a stage of elation; reaction has been checked, and it has ended with a aecided tendency toward the earlicr indications of the contest. In the morning the fepublicans were jubilant. They had so tasted the lees of defeat that they wi well prepared to qual! the wine of triumph, Such @ reaction had been almost unknown. At the threshold of defeat but a little while ago, they now stood at the portals of victory, But one thing lay be- tween them and the desired end, and they counted it already theirs, They wanted tho four electoral votgs of Florida, amd the Governor of that State said thi should have them. He was compliant and they wei bis obliged servants. So they announced that Florida was theirs, threw out their fags and trumpeted their victory. The democrats bad certainly passed through bard trial, and it was diMcult to comport themselves bravely in so great a quell. With victory, as it seemed in thelr grasp, it had eluded them, and they now ap- peared to stand om the verge of defeat. They needed some balm for their wounds, soimething that would beal them quickly, even if it left au unlovely cieatrix And they went in quest of !t, although it grew far South and although their republican friend claimed it astheirs, And they both wrangled for hours over it, and at last they turned their attention to other reme- dies, Florida was after all pot of as much considera- tion as other States." So the republicans said that North Carolina was ina condition of defection from the democri and they in turn alleged that South Carolina was reercant to the republicans. And the Quarrel which, as Sir Lucias O’Trigger says, was a mighty pretty one as tt stood, was augmented by fur- ther elements of discord and discussion. The republicans were sanguine and assured, at least to all seeming, but a certain #1 ion haunted the domocri od they would not be drawn into snares, Was all this braggart front of the republicans, they asked, a device to induce them into the ‘“hedging’’ process, and so find means themselves to remedy their ansound speculation? .And the democrats rojected the device, if it wasono, and held by iheir candidate, They supported bim in the pools a maintained bis ascendancy in aiscus*ion, Bul atthe same time they haa Jost that jubilant demeanor which had character. ized «them the morning after the election. All day rumor and counter rumor ana prociaimed certainties which belied each other were presented to the clamorous and excited people, who swayed this way and that, knew not low far to believe and where credulity should stop, and who, on the seeming close- ness of the issue, raised questions as to the compara. tive advantages.of the system of electoral voting as against the direct vote of the people, Through the day tho republicans over aad over again repeated “The democracy ef the Fitth | 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. : their assertions of victory, but the democrats were as ‘obstinate as the ivcredulous saint who would not believs till he had seen Nighs brought them comfort and renewed thetr hopes It was now the turn for their claims, and they came sharply and with an emphasis that was wonderfally convineing. In front of the Hxnatp Building an enor- mous crowd gathered gleaned the news as fast as * Posted. It was democratic in its tendency, and so allthe prospecta of the democracy grew brighter. Louisiana, which 1 was said bad gone’ republican, was claimed tor the democrats South Carolina followed, and the inroads on the republicans, as ind!- cated by some of the bulletins posted through the ity, reached, even their stronghold, bio, All this = news, of course, although some of ‘% was open to question, brought back the triumphant temper of the democracy. Their re- newed confidence made ‘tself telt at the hotels, a all public places 1t was consp! The procedure of the day was in kind if not mm exact degree a reversa! of the previous day’s procedure. It opened in more than doubt for the democrats, as Wednesday had for the republicans, and it closed for them in renewed as- surances of success They accepted their prospects like men who did not care to be any longer tossed on the turbulent tfdes and currents of uncertainty, and their opponents made the best of the ill change in their condition. IN FRONT OF THE HEBALD BUILDING. The quiet which fell upon the city im the small hours of Thursday morning was of short duration, The fever ot doubt was tn the pulse of the people, the blood was distempered with anxiety and it was too nervous for repose. , From all quarters of the city the wnengagea throng hurried down. to Printing Square at an early hour, but the vast majority of i took up its position in tront of the Hema bulletins, It wanted !nformation which was not biassed by par- tisan animosity, and 1s was distrustful of the false prophets who had played with hopes and® fears - to subservience to party demands To the temperate people who wanted to arrive at thé trath, these antagonistic oracles Were as unintelligible as the missionaries in “Tom-All- Alone’s,” whom little Jo, of “Bleak House,” could not understand, beca! “they all mostly sed asthe Wother wuns prayed wrong.” It was readily per- ceptible that the excitement of yesterday morning ex- ceeded that of the preceding day, both in concentration and subtlety, It bad not so wide an area on which to waste ltsell. There were, apparently, fewer doubtful States to be heard from, the issue had grown nar- Tower, the chances had diminished and the tension of popular feeling had become more rigorous, Governor Tilden needed one of the outstanding States to securey his election, and the democrats came down to hear the glad tidings, serious but not daunted, The Feaction which had set min favor of the republicans gave them new spirit. Tidings of success bad poured in pon them rapidly, and they had now acquired the Jobilant temper which usually follows depression, Still there was no clamorous assurance of success. At this hour, at all events, thé element of doubt per- meated the crowd and repressed all tendency toward exuberant enthusiasm, The moruing, hours waneg and ue assemblage was every moment increased by accessions to its rauks. By noon it extended from the Heracp Building to the Astor House and to the south, ern side of St. Paul’s cburch. To gain its flank on that side it was frequently necessary to pass around through Nassau and Fulton streets. At times, too, the great trattic of Broadway was completely stopped or par- (ally impeded. * The long line of veaicles extended down to Bowling Green, and as far,as the eye could reach through upper Broadway, now motionless, now vainly struggling to free itself from the entanglement, ahdtben when the great barrier of people gave way pressing on with,their complement of the city’s vast treasures. IT WAS A MAGNIFICENT SIGHT to seo the great avenue of trade palpitating and puisat- {ng with all that matured vigor which bad grown out of a hundred years of nationhood, and the sovereign People grouped in a vast masa waiting for the an- hoancement which should declare the name of the honored citizen who had been chosen as its chief repre- sentative andadministrator, Here, indeed, was no de- crepit country enervated by laxury. Its young life bad not been struck with the-taint of decay. It was noi, in truth, a case in which Ships were drifting with the dead To shores where ib. ‘ i ‘ ‘The ships that came to its widen bere no mortuary cargoes. And to give better effect to the splendid scenc the sun shone brightly out ofa sky that in the depth and warmth of its biue still held some remuinis- cence of summer, The murk and gloom of election dey had passed, the sombre skies that looked down on the doubts and certainties, the possibilities and proba- bilities of Wednesday had off their gray livery, and ihe aspect of the city in the vicinity of the Herat» buiid- ing was bright and picturesque. As the morning usually brings sobriety of temper and a reserve which the day dissipates, the domeauor of the people, notwithstanding the great issues which touched them, was orderly and reserved. 1t was not yet time to gr rein to the anxieties which disturbed them or the en- thusiasm which was to find voice when the hour was ripe. At present they were chiefly concerned in the vote of Florida, for all the other States had wrongly or rightly been enlisted on either one eide or the other, and here was the (Edipus which might solve a riddle of more hidden meantog and bearing weightier results than that of the Sphinx, Time wore ot despatches came and the claims of both parties were urged with magniGcent persistence, The reiteration of the republicans was untiring, It took every form by which conviction could be urged home, It was curt and elaborate, piaim and ornate, general and precise, It struck at - the’ sensi- bilities of the democrats im every way in which they might possibly be punctured. And they were punctured, too, The utterances of a crowd heated by excitement are of almost as much value in determining gts temper as its absolute actions, and the persistent claim of Florida for the democrats called forth some of these. Suggestions of 4 republican vic- tory in spite of an overwhelming popular voto crept into the discussions of the discontented, aud the Elec- toral College and the system of Indirect voung on the Presidential election was not just then in much favor. The temper of the assemblage warmed as its numbers jucreased and as the passing hours brought it no re- Hef from anxiety. But it was not till night fell that its enthusiasm was thoroughly aroused. Tne democrats waited latest, and the crowds, whose labors were ovor, swelled their ranks to immgnse proportions, Those nad earued by their toil a right to the dissipation of political exeite- ment, and they were determined to exercise it They were prepured to quail deeply, and they came in good Ume fora palatable draught. Calcium lights hag been placed in position at the Astor House, and the Heranp bulletin boards shone white in the intense glare, The streams o/ light passed over the beads of the crowd, throwing some into shade, fliuminating part of the. scene and producing effects beyond all theatricai con- trivance. | Up went the despatches as they arrived; they, were of a democratic complexion, and the voice of the popular acclaim rose in a volume which, if it was dealening, was at least exhilarating ai im pressive, North Carolina had during the day been claimed for the republicuns, bat when the denial flashed upon the Hwravo bullet.n board, the grand clamor which arose told of the convictions of the populace, “There's a paper for you,”’ exclaimed an enthusiast whose self-ap- preciation had been flattered by the coincidence of the news wih his own wishes, ‘and he went away, yielding his approval to the Heaup, and probably intent on enlarging his patronage and good uffiecs in its behalt, And prosently an inquiring carmau drove up through the crowd, puiled up beiore the bulletin boned, alighted, and scrutinized it calmly with evid ction, then Temounted his lofty scat and then drove away m fully intormed on larger issucs and wiser as to rovable fute and disposition of the mation.

AT THE MANHAITAN CLUB. There was Inttle excitement and much speculation among the metnicks and the rooms were fairly filled by anxious news seckers, Who depended mainly apon intelligence trom the rooms of the National Commistee atthe Everett Huuse for intormation. Among those present wero General Sinith, Pulice’ Commissioner; General George W.

The general opiuion © was that there was merely « question of coanting, apd at a late hour the election of Sr. Tilden became mmatter of congratulation, and there was talk of bets being paid to-morrow, ‘The news reported trom Louisiane, giving the State to Mr. Tilden, had already beeu antici- ated. A private despatch, sent in eipber, to one of we Yeading cotton and sugar ‘eral at New Jeans, and which Was translated tur the benedt of the ropresentative ol the HExazp, read as follows:— “In spite of frauds and atiempted brow! ot our people, we have carried the State by « majol of from 12,000 to 15,000.” Mr. Douglas Taylor, of the Home Committee, was Conitident of the election of Mr. I'ilden, and the noisy demonstrations of several crowds {rom ube Everett House, which cheered the club and Governor Tlideo and Hendricks, were received silently but good humor edly by the gentlemen who were cosey and comfortable idvors. ‘The crowd demanded an appearance from somebody, aud the conirmation of th news wae given to the expectant peopie outside, who hoped tor speech and rece ved good news insicad. Mr. W. D. non, one of the club members, finally addressed the crowd in a sbort, pithy and enthusiastic s h, and led the renewea cheers {or e*Tilden, Hendricks and good government,”’ AT IRVING HALL. In order to relieve the pressuro of crowds upon the Everett House, announcement was made that the de- spatches received by the democratic committee would be read at Irving Hal. This brought a large gathering there, which, however, showed signs of restiveness when the reports taiied to come in rapidly and ooatly returned to the Everett House to swell the multitude assembled there. . AT THE CITY HALL, ‘The great excitement which pulsated outalde scarcoly penetrated the serene precincts of the City Hall, Like Cowper's domestic recluse it heard the stir of thogreat babel, but hardly (elt the crowd.

As in the case of every other section of the community, au element of doubt pervaded all reterence to the Presidential eleetion. Opinions wavered this way and that, but wide concern was not expressed as to the result; nor could it be gathered that the adher- ents of Tummnny felt keenly the possibility st Gov- ernor Tilden’s defeat.
