PUBLIC SENTIMENT DENUNCIATORY OF THE DECISION WHILE IN FAVOR OF ABIDING BY fT, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Couumaia, Feb, 25, 1877, Public opinion as developed hero is docidediy in fa- ‘vor of abiding by the decision of the Electoral Com- mission, and the Presidential issue is now regarded as virtually settled by the award of the vote of the three disputed States to Mr. Hayes. THR INCONSISTENT DECISIONS, The apparently inconsistent decisions of the commis- sion as to the alleged ineligible electors in Yiorida, Louis- tana and Uregon are denounced without qualification by the democrats, and aro rather accepted as neccs- sary than defended as right by the republicans, who in this State aro always governed in political matters by party expediency, f FEELING AMONG THE DEMOCRATS. During the past two days I have bad numerous Conversations with the leaders and thinking men of the domocratic party here, and! am fully justified in Stating that the proposed schemes of the irreconctl- ables in Congress to filibuster till after the 4th of March, not only mects with no favor but 1s con- demned as unwise, impolitic and injudicious.

TENNESSEE, WENNESSEEANS IN FAVOR OF SUBMITTING TO THE DECISION OF THE ELECTORAL COMMIS- SION—ORDER PREFERABLE TO ANARCHY, {BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Nasnvites, Fob. 25, 1877, It is the popular sentiment of Tennessee that as the democracy have submitted the Presidential question it should abide by the decision, looking to the future alone to correct the outrage of counting Florida and Louisiana for Hayes. The people aro diametrically opposed to fillbustering in Congress as having a tend- ency to involve the peaco and prosperity of the coun- try If not to provoke a revolution. They want no ill- timed, unwise or hotheaded legislation, carrying with it juevitable ruin, ANOTHER ELECTION NOT DESIRED. ‘They don't want to go through another Presidential election, as they cannot afford longer to live onuncer- teinties, Rather than that they would preter to see Hayes, though an usurper, peaceably inaugurat Hayes conciliatory policy, a8 already outlined, has done much toward modifying the feeling in Tennessee, and the bitterness of defeat is giving way to au en- darged covservative spirit, It jauniverrally believed that filibustering will only weaken the democracy and lose for it the advantago it ‘has dorived from an honest, straightforward course, and the sooner this mode of political warfare is dropped "the better, as the people will not tolerate it, VIRGINIA. @MALL COMFORT FOR THE IRRECONOILABLES FROM VIRGINIA—DEMOCRATS SHOULD GRACH- FULLY ACCEPT THE BED OF THEIR OWN MAK- ING, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Ricnaonv, Feb, 25, 1877. The irreconcilables havo telegraphed hero to ascer- tain what encouragement they can get in their pur- Pose to defeat the mauguration of Hayes. They will hardly be gratified at the replics. Tho Virginia Legisla- ture, inthe first place, never indorsed the Electoral bill, notwithstanding earnest efforts by leading men in ‘that direction. Now that the democrats have bound themselves hand and foot the prevailing sontiment is that they must submit, A few members avow thom- Belves In favor of the obstruction policy, but they will pot be able to get an expression of that kind from the Logislature. HOW TILDEN’S CHANCES ENDED, On every side is heard the opinion that Tilden’s chances departed the moment that Hewitt declared that on no account should there be bloodshed. Tho idea was that the democrats ought to have presented fa bold and determined tront and that the republicans would then have yielded. YRELING AMONG BUSINESS MBN, Business men are very much disgusted with the Prospects abead, but they believe in acquiescing in the Wecision of the Electoral Commission, hoping, at best, that Hayes will be better to the South than Grant, an that he will give his countenance to the Hampton and Niebolis State governments. As for the offices, the democrats will havo none of thom, and any ono'who accepts will be “counted out?’ of tho list of conserva- tive democrats, THE VIRGINIA PRESS ON THE ELECTORAL QUESTION, {From the Petersburg (Va.)

So that, after all, it seems unjust to blame these people for not adopting a linc of policy which might, for know, have unified the North almost ag one m: id enabled the government to take the fleld with all of its physical resources, as if against a new outbreak of re- Boltton. As to any design on the part of the democrats to be caught in the trap of the Electoral Commission, we are sure that our friend is wrong in his charge. The strongest advocacy of the Electoral bill came from Southern members, while atmost the only opposition doveloped against it was made on the part of the same copperheads whom St. Andrew abuses, Let us uot desert these our allies in the day of our gomion disaster.

DEMOCRATS IN FAVOB OF STANDING 4 BY TBE BOND, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE BERALD,] Wanx.ina, Fob. 25, 1877, The geseral fecling here is decidedly averse to any obstruction being placed in the way of confirming the decision of the Electoral Commission. Leading demo- crats, including members of the Legislature from all parts of the State, Congressmen-elect and members of the State government, join with business men in ex- pressing their behef that any action looking to the do- feat of the tribunal’s verdict anda now election would not only be LEADING FRAUGHT WITH DANGER to the interests of the democratic party, but would work serious injury to all the interests of the country. The only countenance given to the plan of a new elec tion is furnished by a few ultra democratic oflice-sock- ers who staked their political fortunes on the last contest. FEELING IN THE OITY, By one of those contradictions which render it al- ways unsafe to predict how public sentiment will turn on any given question, the decision of tho Electoral Commission in the case of Oregon appears to have created a more decided sensation in this city than any preceding act In the drama bas done, and there is no disguising the fact that the number who are in favor of using every means to defeat the now inevita- ble declaration of the count for Hayes and Wheeler has received a considerable accession during the last week, Whether it was that yesterday was a rainy day, or that the popular impression of the unfairness of the decision bas deepened within the last week, the Presidential question was everywhere the topic yesterday afternoon, and was discussed with more acrimony in business circles, which have a mato- rial interest in having the issue settled, than it had beon at any previous period, Among business met of democratic proclivities there had, until tho Oregon case was decided, been a lingering hope that the commission would either declare the ineligibility of Watts or reaffirm their doctrine that the action of a Stato in the premises was foal. How strong this hope was the democrats wero not themselves aware, proba- bly, until the decision was actually promulgated. ‘to say the least, to whatever cause the fact may be duo, the democratic masses are in a more excited condition than they were a week ago, and turbulent and factious delay by the House of Representatives was advocated yesterday in circles where but eight days since it was discouraged. Atail the leading hotels during the afternoon the demand for the evening papers ¢ ceeded the supply, such was the popular anxiety to ob- tain the latest news as tu the action of the House, and, when obtained, tacts and rumors alike wore scanned and discussed with a nervous eagerness that indicated the unwonted tension of the popular mind, ts y, also, the republicans appear to be less Jub they wero when the Louisiaua decision was declared and to evade and deprecate discussion. They had anticipated, 1t sceuis, that the House would insist upon taking a recess or upon setting in motion some species of 1actious opposition to the completion of the count, which would give thein an opportunity to rotort upon their adversaries, and when, at five o’ciock in the afternoon, the news was received that the motion to take a recess had been defeated, and that the House had acted inaspirit of calm und dignified protest, republicans, who bad been engaged all day in sagely shaking thetr heads and predicting revolutionary pro- ceedings, were egregiously disappointed, BISHOP WILMER ON THE POLICY OF HAYES. One of the main points Of discussion last evening at the clubs and hoteis was tho probable policy of the in- coming republican administration toward the Southern States, republicans pointing to the recent deciarations of Mr. Foster, and democrats to the recent article in the Ohio State Journal, in support of their respective views. A leading democratic publicist, in talking over this quesiion with the representative of the HukaLp penrerany, cited an interview with the venerable shop Wilmer, of Louisiana, in justification of his view that the public men of tho South would never take oilice under Hayes. Bishop Wilmer deciares that while the old-time political ioaders of the South will be glad of an opportunity to manoge thotr own State affairs aud to get rid of such men as Kellogg and Packard, they cannot afford to identity themselves with Arepublican administration. ‘Any Southern politi- cian of prominecce,”’ said the Bishop, ‘who sbould Venture to ots @ place in the Cabinet of Mr. Hayes would find that his miluence with lis constituents had been completely extinguished”? He thinks, therefore, that the attempt to resuscitate the auciont whig fecting in the Southern States, either by conciliation or by bargain with Soathern politicians, will prove utter! abortive, and that in the end Hayes will have to fall back on the policy of Grant in order to preserve a Yostige of republican supremacy in that quarter. It is evident, however, from conversation with saga- cious democrats that tis movement is viewed with Suspicion, and that serious doubis are entertained whether the policy of Hayes, as defined by Mr. Foster, will not result in creating a strong republican element in the Southern States. WHAT MR. TILDEN THOUGHT OF THR ORKGON CASE, Another story in circulation in democratic circles 1s that Mr, Tilden intends to test the question of tho legality of Mr. Hayes’ title to the Presidency by quo wurranto proceedings in the Supreme Court of tho United States, thas putting the whole court on the re+ cord one way or the other, ana bringing on an author- itative adjudication as concerns the meaning of tho Electoral vill under which the commission acts, Judg- ing from the utterances of demvcrats who are in Mr. en’s confidence, he is opposed to any {actious delays in ‘completing the count, wishes to havo the democratic majority of the House submit ina dignified manner to the de- clared result, and is possibly already looking forward to a possible nomination in 1880, One of his conf. dential advisers stated yesterday that Mr. Tildon had positively declared to him, in view of the Oregon case, that no honorable man could ever tke bis seat on such a title to the Presidency as Mr. Cronin furnishes, Dat that, as compelling the republicans to abandon their ap seg n of not going bebind the returns, the Oregoh case was an execiient joke, ‘1 don’t know what Pelton may have done,” said this gentleman de- cisivoly, “batt know that Mr. Tilden had no band in manipwating the Oregon case.” ‘Tho same gentleman states that Mr, Tilden told him, while the Louisiana Returning Board was in session, that he could have the State of Louisiana by paying for tt; in fact, that it bad been definitely offered to him for a consideration, “My answer,” said Mr, Tilden, ‘was that Louisiana belonged to me in any event, and that I should not buy iny own property.” At both the representative clubs—the Union League and the Manhattan—yesterday was a dull day, and last might was one of the dullest nights ot this proionged political campaign, Atthe New York Hotel, alway: special resort of Southern men, the tenor of conversa. tion was singularly mild and pacific. What the South wants,’ said an old gentieman who knew what war mnoans, “8 an opportunity to mind its own business for # fow years, If Hayes will give the South that he wiil be popular there,”’ Thus falis the curtain on the Inst tof the Electoral Commission drama, and the city, of aha | .

Now York may hope to resume business to-morrow with a prospect of not being interrupted by further political conilicts of magnitude for the next four years VIEWS OY A PROMINENT TILDEN ELECTOR ON THE RESULT—FATUITY OF THE DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS—-THE TIME FOR FIGHT GONE BY. Among the most influential genviewen connected with the Electoral College of the State of New York was Geveral James McQuade, formerly of the city of Utica, now of this city. He was secretary of the col" lege, which, it will be remembered, was presidéd over by ex-Governor Seymour. General McQuade was also distinguished for bis-prominence in the last Democratic State Convention at Saratoga, when the present Gov- ernor, Lucius Robingon, was nominated. The views of @ gentleman of this character are naturally interesting at this conjuncture, Below is the report of an tnter- view held with the General by a Henatp reporter last evening. Revorter—What, may I inquire, do you think of the present situation of the country ? Gxerat—My ideas aro so entirely at variance with the managers of the democratic party that I nesitate to express them; not because | am afraid to do so at any time, but because it might be impolitic at this juncture, Stil I will givo my views, as you desire, in as brief a manner as the tmportance of the subject will allow, NOTHING TO BE DONK. Rerorter—}f | recollect aright, your tone was quite belligerent just after the olection last full. How do you stand now? GxN“RAL—Tho time for the exhibition of a bold front passed long ago, Public opinion, floating swiftly down the tide, was not seized and anchored at the opportune moment. Timid and vacillating counsels prevailed in the democratic party, and thoso who knew the righ’ and dared maintain it were sent to the rear to cool their rashnoss, leaving craft and subtlety in the tront. Briefly the present situation ts this:—The pooplo elected Tildon, Congress will count in Hayes, Thav’s all, Ruvorter—Do you consider the democratic mana- gers responsible for this position of affairs? GkveRAL—Not for the outrage itself, but for the stato of public opinion which renders its perpetration pos- sible, The conspiracy to count in Hayes was concocted before the olection, It was not an afterthought, as some suppose, It was a deliberate, prearranged plan to deprive the majority of the fruits of a victory, fore. cust by tho results of the October elections, 5 ith will remember that jinmediatoty after the republican defeat in Indiana Senator Morton went to the Pacitic coast to secure the electoral vote of Oregon (which the democrats lost by over-eonfidence), and to put up tw Job by which fraudulent votes in San Francisco gave California to Hayes, Theso States, with the aid of the carpot-bag and scalawag returning boards of South Carolina, Florida aud Louisiana, r dered it possible for Hayes to secure 185 electoral votes, willbe borne im mind that the republican papers, with a single prominent exception, claimed that number of votes tor Hayes the day after the olec tion, and this before a single vote had been canvassed or returns received trom a single one of these threo States, Chandier’s claim of 185 vows tor Hayes showed that he knew he had a sure thing, no matter how the people voted. Through his nents in these State hands, 1 was satis election that there would be a false count for Hayes in Florida and Lousiana, THR TIMZ TO FIGHT. I then thought that the democrats ought to act as if it wero already an accomplished tact. But the man- agers, with a tatuity hardly credible in astute politi- clans, deluded themselves into the hope of gathering figs from Floridian thisties and grapes irom the thoros of Louisiana, and wasted time in sending statesinen to New Orleans and Tallahasseo to witness iniamies they could not prevent. This poliey met with no favor with the ilghting clement of the party, which insisted that Tilden was clected and must be put tn, fic policy, however, proved too strong for impul- sive patriotism, and the element of audacity, so suc. cessful in any context, was lost, THU FOX AND THE LION, RevoxTsR—What wero your personal views ? GeNKRAL—Perbaps I may illustrate them by repeat. ing whut I said to certain gentlemen atthe rooms of tho National Committee in tho Everett House two days after the election, I then said:—‘The republican Managers iutend to count ovt Tilden it they are per- mitted to. It is time for the fox to retire from the council and let the lion im.” Add. ing, im response to a suggestion about pru- dence, “In crisis the greatest prudence is imprudonce.” With these Parthian aphorisms, which | am only doing justice 10 the firm integument of the leaders to say, fell pointless, I retired and havo not offered any advice since. Peaceful procrastination prevailed, ‘Hence these unavailing tears,” M’QUADE'S ALTERNATIVE, PORTER— What alternative dia you propose? ERAL—None, What was the uso of proposing? Man proposes, but the Deus ez machina of the Return. ing Board disposes, 1 was certain of one thing, how- ever, that Hayes was not elected. The frauds of the returning boards were some of the monstrous possi- biliti with a people whose sensibilities had been blasted by the rude experiences of civil war. But tho detormined men did not expect a democratic House of Represeutatives to submit, But it did. RevorrkR—Why did the House submit? GexeraL—lt was like any other battle. lt was a question of courago aud persistence. One side must break or back out before bayonets crossed. Our side backed. It must be admitted tbat among democrats most timid at atime when they were right were the Southern members, who were s0 bold when they were wrong. It is not impossible that the reported coquet- ting between Hayes and the ex-rebels bas more iv it than 18 dreamed of 1n the philosophy of the Northern democrats, ‘The coliection of paintings known Collection,” which has been on exhibition at Mine: art gallery during the past week, will to-night be offered for sale, Tho collection will be disposed of in three divisions.

The socond and third evenings willbe devoted chiefly to water colors, in which tho collection is remarkably rich, Most of these water colors are from the Lof John Faulkner, R. H. A., whose works alone make a varied and interesting col- lection. Very few artists could make so important and interesting a display. Mr. Faulkner’s paint. ings embrace scenes from picturesque spots in Ireland, Scotland, England and Americ: Notwithstanding the number of his painti thered into one room, wholly unlike they that, only the catalogue us they are from al one man, we could easily atiribute them to different bands, There is very little repetition, a citcumstance due no doubt in great part to the fact that the artist paints from nature rathor than composes his pictures. Itisto this they owe their freshness and senge ot atmosphere. In his marine painting this artist 18 also very happy, and the examples by him in this class have the truo briny odor about them. It is perhaps somewhat unfortunate for the owner of this collection that so many works by the same artist should be at once thrown on the mar- ket; but lovers of good pictures will probably have an excellont opportunity of buying at very moderato rates.

THE BIBLE THEORY OF TEMPERANCE LIKELY TO PROV’ A SOULCE OF DISCORD, A reguiar meeting of the American Temperance Union was hela yesterday afternoon at Science Hall, No, 141 Eighth street. The president of the union, Mr. J. B. Gibbs, occupied the chair. After the opening ex- efcises addresses wero delivered by Mr. D. Walford, ono of the vice presidents of the society, aud by N. Ward Carey. Mr. Walford’s subject was ‘Capital and Labor,’? and was very favorably received, although 1t was whispered among the members that the subject had not received the approval of the president. Mr, Waltord ingeniously made it a most earnest and pri cal temperance lecture by showing the eflects of the liquor traffle both upon the capitalist and tho workiugman, and the amouut of money wasted upon a non-productive business. At the meeting held on Sunday, the 18th inst, at Cooper Institute a communication was read signod .” taking the advocates of total abstin- for condomning the moderate use of rs, and stating that the Bible apy id only condemns their Immoderata, use. Tho president warmly opposed such au interpretation of the Scriptures, and stated that he would have a mass moeting at an early date, to he heid in Cooper In tvto, to publicly discuss the matter. This announce- ment, simple as it may seem, has caused considsrabie commotion in the “Union,” and it 16 not likely that It will be carried out. A large number of the most active members of the society aro opposed to any religious discussion, and declare that if it is attempted thoy will leave the society, One of the vice presidents stated toa HERALD reporter yesterday afternoon that it was exactly this course of action which bad proved detrimental to tho interests of the cause of temperance in the city in the past, ‘They want,’ he said, ‘to discuss theology, and in tho end the vital question at jasue, tho reformation of the drunkard, is forgotton. ’? Mr, Gibbs was asked when (he meeting would be held at Cooper Lustitute, and su that the date had not been be but that it certainly would be held atan early ate, ARRESTED FOR MURDER.

FRAUDS UPON THE VISITORS FROM TNE CHARIe TADLE SOCLETIES, It is a melancholy fact, but a truth learned from varied experience, that frauds are practised upon tho very poorestof the poor, and systematic stealing ts accomplished by working apon the most generous of peopte’s feelings. In this city during the present winter the soctetios which have been the dispensers of rolicf to the distressed have experienced the great est difficulty in guarding against impostors, but even with all the care taken frauds have been perpe trated and the funds filched from the poor foi whom they were intended by the donors. Those frauds were not commiited by officers of the societies nor by persons doing the charitable work of operating them, but by those who bave assumed the garb ot poverty forthe purpose of deceiving and who have brought this system of swindling down to go fine a point as to merit their being denominated ‘professionals,’ Every one of the churitable societies has its record of the impositions practised upon it, Thetrade haa worked so weil with these “professionals’’ that, for many years past, not a few of them have lived quite handsomely upon the profits of their skill, Bome of these hypocrites haye been at work season after season in spite of the fact that they were again and again caught in the unchris- tian work of secking to hambug the visitors from the societies, One of the commonest tricks 18 to go to tho society with a pitiful tale of homelessness and imme. diate want, and thus obtaln a little money. Then there is the presentation of a letter, giving an address and refereuces (both bogus), and arging hanger as a reason for ready help, The streets around Abing- don square and Rutherford Park are favorito places tor the numbering of a bogus residence, as in the case of Rutherlord Park fally 100 is omitted 1 the numbering of the streets runuing into it, The swindiers, how ever, Know nearly ali the streets in the city where the numbers might have achance of deceiving the socice Les? officials, ORGANIZED BANDS OF FRAUDB. In the Twenty-first ward there is 4 regular gang, who devote ull their time ta these efforts to deceive the sociotios, ‘The most plausivie stories are narrated un- blushingly, and only experience 10 dealing with such ca! ould save the societies from being robbed by wholesale, There are some women 1 this city of woll ned broken down circumstances, who have ro- ed large suns of money every winter from the wealthy classes, owing to their accomplishment in the art of writing begging letters, Ono of these hag no iess than six “aliases,” and has resided in any number of places in the city, It is said that the letters written by this woman are excellent literary performances, and seldom fail to sécure for the writer an undeserved sympathy, as well as somo substantial mark of credeaeo im the bypo- crite’s tale, Thore aro several of this ciass daily im- posing upon those who refrain from giving donations to the societies, but who are Willing to help deserving cases of “reduced resp Hity.”? Whole families also are to be met with, every member of which is engaged in trying to “beat’? the societies, A very bad ex- ample this class is a family of eight persons, Who ussumo “allases,”? and who within two years past have lived in eight different sections of the city, They are known to bave been deceiving the visitors and the societios, but uevertheless they receive a very pleuti- ful supply of solid nourishment without doing any work, The visitors from the Society tor the Amelioru- tion “of the Condition of the Poor ure especially open to the tricks of all those ‘‘sharpers,’? for, in order to give immediate relief where necessary, the Visitors aro constantly supplied with funds, and no further investigation 18 necessary than may seem fliting at the time application is ‘made, ‘Tho expertence this season, however, Which has been guined by the large number of visitors connected with the different societies will go along way, it 18 under- stood, to establish © system of relief-giving im tuiure which shall leave but tittle room for fraud, CHURCH CHARITY. SUNDAY AMONG THR POOR, Sunday isa very dull day for the poor, especialy when the weather ts stormy or ¢heerless. Tho offices of the charitable societies aro all closed and no reliet from any public source is dispensed. Asaresult tho thousands of the city’s destitute are loft to ruminate over their deplorable condition, and speculate and hope as best they may as to what is in store for them in the futuro, At tho Rev. Dr. ‘Tyng, Jr.’s, church, on Forty-second street, yes- terday afternoon the usual crowds of men attended the temperance meeting, with which ts connected the sup. per which is given in tho basoment every Sunday a: an inducement to draw the wanderers into the religious fold. About 600 men, old and young, attend these Sunday alternoon temperance meetings, but it is une derstood that tho supper is the stronger inducemen, and that little sign of attachment to the churd is noticeable after the service, with this novel feature connected with it, Isover, The wonder is that the number of those Who attend the meeting is not far greater, as this is the only place where the street wan- derers or those who aro supperless can now get a Sune day meal without the asking for it, Whether or not ‘conversion to religion foliows trom the service and tha sapper, ‘his church is doing a most charitabie work in feeding these poor men every Sabbath evening.

For the benefit of those whose duty it is to vent! Jate, it may bot be out of place to state that the quan- tity’ of carbonic acid gas found in air that has been broathed 18 greater = in — winter than tm summer, and is also greater when the body 18 wourisbed than when fasting. Wo need a fresh draft of air at every inspiration, as the lungs cannot be cleansed by foul air more etfec- tually than soiled linen can be washed in squalid water. Such a sanitary subject as this, which affects the healta of millions of human beings assembled im arches and theatres, should reccive from all the ‘ntion which its importance demands, and shoul the New York Hunarp, the loading journal of th nineteenth century, take up the subject, tho ef produced would be felt not only over the length and width of Amer butin the densely populated erties of the Old World, WG HIGH PRICED THEATRES, To THe Eviton oy te Heaton Allow me through your valued complaint byok to concur heartily with GW.
