This made the House a tio, thirty to thirty. The Senate figures are not disputed. Then the republicans claimed that Mr, Powers, .demo- crat, of Mercer county, bad not been legally elected, in pousequence of an informality in the appointment of the Election Board in East Windsor township.

IN FRONT OF THE HERALD BUILDING. It might have seemed yesterday morning that tho popular excitement had collapsed, but later develop- ments showed that it.was only he!d in suspense and was ready to burst forth again on slight provocation, Once more the crowd assembled in front of the Hrnaup Building, but thistime in diminished numbers: It wasy however, eager and anxious. Its quest after such candid and impartial information as might throw light on tne important issues which nobody would yet concede settled, was keen, and to the Hrrarp it looked to satisfy its cravings. The taint of partisanship had poisoned the other sources, the news which emanated from them was embarrassed with perplexities and cntanglements that were forever accumulating, and popular cfpdence had reached limits Beyond which it could not pass, Therefore the Hxraup bulletins were narrowly scanned, and as they were free of color the informa- tion obtained from them gave tbe best approximate idea of the situation. There was a wonderful contrast between the scene presented yesterday and tbat of Thursday morning. The bright blue sky had changed to a dull, leaden gray, not one ray of sunshine could penetrate the thick ,lowering clouds, and tho rain came down in a close drizzle. It was, as Dickens puts it, as if the earth bad gone into mourning for the death of the snp. There was mud everywhere. It clung to the toiling horses that plodded along under their weary loads: splashed the lumbering vehicles; it soiled discon- folate pedestrians, and established a universal leve! of discomfort, Every building was clad in a dull hvery of mist, and the spire of Trinity stood up through iting distinct and shadowy, Ifthe motto on the Venetian sun dial, “Horas non numero nist serenas,’’ were in torco, yesterday, in spite of all the Jarge issues which 1t held, would have been a blank day inthe calendar, But there were people around who would admit of no blanks and who would make note of the passage of the hours, and silt the tidings which they brought, whether they woge serene or not. Through fair or foul weather they would pursue their purpose, and, therefore, they stood before the Hxnano Building interested and anxious. Under dripping umbrellas and with coat collars turned up they bided their time patiently. In such weathor temper seldom radiant, wit does not sparkle and Dadinage 1s apt to be hold in vinculis In the early hours of yesterday the people were not given to kittenish freaks, and they moved about sullen and reserved. But the gloomy surroundings did not repress individual enterprise, and some few persons smarterghan their fellows made the issues of the day help the increase of their worldly possessions. It 18 to be “notedy too, that they prospered by seemipxly fraudulent representation. Ballads purporting to portray certain doughty deeds ot the rival Presidential candidates not heretofore reforred to in the amiabie strictures of the party papers were vended freely; but the vendors were mendacious, or, being patterns of truth and reliability, the muse was recreant to her lofty mission. She sang not, at all events, of the high emprise of either Hayos or,Tiiden, bat, instead, told In a non-epic strain of a certain Long Branch young lady, with striped stockings, of a decoiving disposition, and with s quality of klepto- mania which took the direction of watch cbains and their appendages. As the bulletins began to appear the interest of the gathering increased. It centred now round tho throo States of Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina, and still bogh the great parties asserted their claims to their favors. But the States were like coy damsels and took much wooing. They declined to be easily won, and let the suitors wrangle. as they might. Tho hopes of the democracy scomed brightest in the morning, but the republicans would not bate one jot of their pretensions. The news came from Jacksonville that Florida was democratic by a majority of 1,500, and the democrats were gleeful, but Mr, Knight, who is Collector of Internal Revenue, telo-. grapbed {rom the same piace that the republicans held the fort, and the adherents of the party were delighted, And still the rain poured down to chill their ardor, bat when the caloric of partisanship seemed exhausted, another despatch would come to renew the fire. From South Carolina W@e story came that Wade Hampton was elected by a majority of 1,213 vetes and that Tilden would poll within 300 or 400 of the vote cast for the Governor, and responsive to these tidings, the features of the democrats bright- ened into smiles, bat Governor Chamberlain had some- thing else to say, which took the sting out of the democratic advices, and contributed enormously to the mental satisfaction of the republicans. In this way the crowd wavered between doubt and hope, amd hav- ing nothing elso to do, was fain to wait for something more relevant. At last the rain ceased to fall, but the aky was as sombre as before and the streets as miry, and everybody as bedragglod and dissatisfied. But with the cessation of she rain the crowd was greatly augmented, and then came new sensation to fix its. attention, and eall out all its capacity fer excited dis- cussion, It was the despatch of President Grant to General Sherman, touching the course to be pursued in Louisiana and Florida Its opening words bad a military complexion, which immediately called forth the resentment of the democrats, but as they read farther they were forced to recognize wordy of wis- dom and nobility. The feeling evoked was clectric The most virulent opponents of the administration first questioned the bona fides of the document, but from ail that could be gathered from the discussion of the crowd, the goneral ooncossion was that General Grant had sents message thro the pation which would shed lustre en the deci Gaye of his Prosi- Gency. The despatch was the groat staple of dis sion until night closed in, and tho glare of the cal- cium lights was onee more thrown the Hrratp balletin boards, which stood ready for the commanica- Mon of the latest advices to the people, crowd would not ve disporsed. 1 patience was inex- -baustible, and it was prepared to endure unlimited discomfort 11 the result would only bring it some con- firmation of its wishes, Those wishes for she success of Tilden were beyond question, for when ad- vioes were not coming from the doubiful Stater it kept its spirits ap by cheering fof the pop can- didate, © Bometin » beers were demande’ tor Hayes, but thore was no response The people abroad wore altogether of the democracy; just as if they wero determited to make good the @ffirmation which credits them with a» partiality for bid weather, The republicans, on their side, ap- - peared to keep within doors, thas giving color also te the popular notion concerning their proclivities when skies are lowering. The scone as the glare of the cal- ium light fell on the people was exceedingly pictur- eaque, but tha; manifestation ef intense nervous ex- eltement which characterized the demeanor of the erowd on Thursday night was absent. The news that zach Chandler atili claimed the election of sana the interest culminated.) Hardly any information | Governor Hayes by a majority of one electoral vote it | only produced a counter dewonstration in favor ot Mr, Tilden, Incidents of a peculiar aspect were few. In one case there were a tow words spoken to the as sembingo, but the speaker could not be inauced to con- tinue bis oration, What he said, so far as it could be heard, was a denunciation of tyransy in the Soutn, “Go on! go al’ shouted the erowd, bat the man was modest apd declined the invitation thas popularly expressed. He made bi way through thé gathering and passed down through Fulton street by St Paui’s church. Some persons more enthusiastic on the subject of oratory than the rest followed him and insisted on a speceh, but he was ail inducement, The assemblage con- the HeRALp bulletins with its atten- , tons until late in the night, and even then dispersed slowly. GOVERNOR TILDEN S MOVAMENTS. Governor Tilden spont the forenoon of yesterday at bis house on Gramercy square. He received tow visi tors, because he was tired, and when he get through with lunch he took a turn around to the democratic headquarters at the Everett House. It was there the HxRavp reporter met the Governor in the midst of an euger gathering of democratic notabilities. ‘“Thoy have given me," said the Governor, pretty larg * popular wajority, something over a quarter of a million, Govervor Tilden was dressed in @ suit of dark clothes apd woren silk hat, He never scemed to the writer in fier health and spirits, Much conversation was going op around the room. “11 tell you what I think,” eatd Major J, Haggerty to Judge Morris, of Brooklyn. ‘There !s one man in the United States Senate belonging to the republican party who will not consent to this outrage of counting in Lousiania, and that man is Seuator Conkling. He stands,” exclaimed the Major, growing eloquent with the subject, “on the mountain iopa, above the mists and fogs of party, amd he views the situation from a patriot’s standpoint"? Judge Morris said, ‘We will submit to a great deal but if the republicans mean to count us out by fraud leon’t think we cam stand it.” Judge Morris was counsel for Mouitoa and Tilton in the Beecher trial, TH GOVERNOR'S ViEW. “well,” said Governor Tilden, spenking to the Henatp man, ‘the firey zealots of the republican party may attempt to count me out, but 1 don’t think the better class of republicans will permitit. It would be a bad precedent to sut,”” Colonel Pelton, the Governor's nephew, was busy Senator Randolph, of New Jersey, , “South Carolina has goue demo- cratic, but (this with a bitter frown) they will count us out if they can.” Mr Algernon Sullivan strode in also, and asked for the news from Colonel Pelion. The Colonel had nothing more to give than what the Telegram brought up, but Mr. Sullivan #aid he thought the Returning Board in New Orlowns was bent on fraud, Governor Tilden kept his seat tn front of the window) of tho Everett House, outside of which a great crowd Of people had collectad staring wildly into the hotel, “It i strange,” said the Governor, “how I get mis- represented.

There, for instance, is one this morning in which f am mado to say that | believe that that paper (mentioning a cer- tain journal) is the greatest paper in America and that my election is attributable to it. That interview never took place.’? . Governor Tilden sald, resuming the conversation, in earnest accents, “Ido not think, considering that £ have received such a considerable popular majority vote, that the republican party will attempt to perpe- trate fraud.” Smith Weod, of Clinton, said:—"It is very close, but we have carried the Union honestly, and that is tho whole thing in a putshell—wo have carried it hon- eatly.”” x Mr. August Belmont, Mr. Edward Cooper, son of Mr, Peter Cooper, and General George B.

Be satisfied with the reflection that the people are too patriotic, too intelligent, too self-powed to ailow anything perilous to be done— anything that may disturb or destroy our peculiar form of government. Don’t be alarmed. ¥ Later on the Henao reporter calied at the Gover- nor’s residence in Gramercy Fark.

The crowd which assembled within the democratic headquarters, in Liberty stroet, yesterday, was large enough to uncomfortably fill the space that was allotted to it. It was not what might be called an ex. pectant crowd, but one which demanded positive proofs to satisly it shat its wishes would be complied with, The poopie comprising the crowd assembled carly, and remained about the building until the hour + of closing. A great many messenger boys arrived during the day, and as each one made his way into the private office of the committe the crowd became quiet, in expectation of heuring some news from the doubtful States; but it so happened that about nine out of every ten of the messages received were those of persons inquiring tor news instead of giving it, so the crowd was wany times disappointed. It remained ood natured throughout, however, and applauded loudly any news that was given to it that appeared anything like conclnstve, fo illustrate the wish for definite nows it said that whena private dispatch rr cola, November 10, 1876. _ Our friend: (Florida) beyond a'doubt.

The rival newspapers again hung out their flags and trumpeted the gains of their respective parties, Some of them, however, showed signs of ‘tiring, and their flags wound themseives around their staffs as if they had fulfilled their mission. Here Governor Stearns came to the rescuo of his party with an “all right” from Florida, which greatly satisfied a knot. of drenched republicaus and disgusted about twice aS many democrats who stood shivering 10 the rain, Close by a larger crowd was digesting tho news published from the river countios, making Flor- ida democratic beyond mishap, accident apy com- bination of circumstances within the realms of chance. ‘In this way the public credulity was torn to pieces, In truth, the only common ground on which the peo- ple stood was of a pene nt bat miry textare, and did not heip greatly to enhance their comforts or sweeten their disposith In the course of the day flags were run up over City Hall, and in their dis- play some of tho far-seeing democracy thought they recognized good reagon for rejoicing.

Mr* Hewitt came in at one o'clock again ip the even: ing Mr. Magone, of the Stato Committes, though in roater part of the day.

A Hrratp repofter asked Mr. Hewitt at what figure he computed the domocratic majority in Florida, bat reeeived the response that he (Mr, Hewitt) did not fix itatany figure. ‘+ What about South Carolina?” queried the reporter. «I don’t know,” replied Mr, Hewitt, “ And Louisiapa’”’ “Nor can I say anything definite about that” It was evideut that the géntieman in charge of these headquarters placed the demvoratic majority in Fiorida at from 1,200t0 2,000 votes. ‘Their reason for this os- timate probably was that the reports which they re- ceived were uniform, and with httle or no discrep ancy [rom these figures. The returns from’South Cardlina were Very meagre and indetinite; but avoug balf-past four o'clock a despatch wag received saying that all the cotnties, excepting four, in Louisiana, majority tor Tilden of 4,000, and the four not ted gave a democratic majority in 1874, The en- siasm displayed when this news reached tho nxious crowd was great, and congratulation by wo! ind handshaking were the chief modes of expression ‘joy indulged in, As the day drew to a termination tbe confidence that Tildon was elected pec strengthened, and before five o'clock soveral perso were heard to say that “the only thing to do was ito await the official count to detegmme Uncle Sam's majority.” AT THE POOL BOOMS, The Tilden men pat in an appearance immediately ing mm such numbers that the pool roems of Johnson and Morrisscy early began to assume tne crowded and lively charactor ot the previoas evening Most of the democrats, or rather those whose money In the “box” was on “Uncle Sammy,” were ia jolly hamor, and im an exocedingly free and easy style onter ed the Hayes adherents with politieal jokes or pleasant chail.

The excitement caused by the doubtful election was something extraordinary, Busimess in the stock mar. keQwas dul, The general course of speculation in the Stock Exchange was governed by the fecling of unea +iness as to the closeness im the electoral yote of Louk siana, Thero is a vague approhension, but it cau scarcely be sald to be more, concerning what may grow out of the result, ‘The feeling in regard to the result, of course, varied in accordance with the tone of the returns, Several prominent gentlemen in the street were seen yester day by a Hexatp reporter, and the interviews with them are bere given, Mr. Potter, of the firm of Messrs. Brown, Brothers & Co., snid:— ‘1 believe the election of Mr. Tilden would be moss beneficial, Jama Tilden man myself and think that the people here and abroad, at least that portion of them who understand Mr, Tilden, would hail his elec- tion with delight, anaT think that it would be tho surest means of strengthening the Commercial interests of the country at home and abroad, though I bold the same ideas 1m regard to the bonds of the government that Mr. Belmont does—that is, that they aro sacred obligations, and let who could be elected, the govern- ment was bound to protect them. I hope there will be no trouble, but I do not think the people will be jug- gled with, and though I am not quite clear in my mind in regard to frauds, | think that it there wore any it would be on the republican side.’” ‘The senior member of the frm of Messrs, McKim Brothers & Co., said:— “Lam decidedly in favor of Hayes and Wheeler, and believe that their election woula greatly add to the financial prosperity of the country, both here and in Europe. I believe that the elevation of Mr. Tilden to the Presidency would be a sad blow to the country’at large, and that ali kinds of securities would be badly deranged." In answer to the hreng as to why he thought so, Mr. MeKim said *l think the people do not thoroughly understand Mr. Tilden’s policy, do not know what course he intends to pursue, and 80 would « not risk their money in speculations, the results of which they could not even guess at. | believe the elec- tion of Mr, Tiden would prove, at least for a while, a financial disaster to the country. Mr. Morgan, of Mossrs. Drexel, Morgan & Co., said:— “] bave not paid much attention to the aubject, but, thinking as I do at this moment, I do not believe that the commercial Interests of the country will ve greatly affected either way. I think that afairs will be a little unsettled at home fora while, but that they would soon quiet down and business resumo the even tenor of its way. Ido not why the election of either Mr. Tilden or Mr. Hayes should affect the Uhited* States securities abroad. The people there bought what thoy hold in good faith and exp.cted our govern- ment to protect them. The election of a President in this country is nothing new to them. They aro aware that the event takes place every four years and that the two great parties, the democrats and republicans, vie with each other as to who shall win, I do noe think the event will be felt abroad in the icast,’? Mr. Walter T.

In the cottun market the views expressed by a largo dealer were that the merchants expected trouble in the South if any State was declared carried by a fraudu- lent count, and in that event transportation would be difficult. None ofthe cotton merchants had any re- Mabie information from the South. The majority ap- eared to be of theopinion that Tilden’s election would be beneficial to the South. THE MANHATTAN CLUB. The parlors of the Manbattan Club were thronged a an early hour ia the evening by members of the on ganization and prominont democtats generally. The excitement occasioned on the receipt of the proclam» tion of President Grant was intense. It was the chief topic. everywhere, The latest news from the doubtful States was eagerly sought for by the crowd, which con tinged to increase in volume until far into the night Despatches were received in quick succession. One of them stated that acarefully prepared canvass had been made, based on reliable retarus and carefully com puted estimates, which gave Tilden nearly 1,700 ma jority. Most of the gentlemen interviewed were cere tain of the result of the election and indignant at the evident attempts on the part of the republicans to hold back the returns tn close States, which they say is done to patch up such figuresas they may need to elect, The democratic victory in this State and city were entirely forgotten, while the egotien in ¥lorida formed tho principal theme of con- reution, Tho President’s order to General Sherman to send all the troops toGenoral Augur that he may deom necessary was luoked upon as an ouirege.
