There was an uneasy, apprehensive feel- ing in Washington during the greater part of yesterday. The democratic filibusters seemed to have gained strength since Satur- day, and the sense of alarm which thereupon arose was spread far and wide through the telegraph wires. The evening newspapers in every part of the United States contained despatches which conveyed an impression that the completion of the count might be de- feated by the filibusters and that a necessity might arise for a new Presidential election next autumn. It was so clearly within the power of the democrats to spin out the pro- ceedings by dilatory devices and ‘prevent any result previous to the 4th of March that the symptoms of an intention to exert this malign power were naturally looked upon with alarm. A motion was carried in the House to listen to the reading of the evidence which impugned the eligibility of one of the Pennsylvania clectors, That evi- dence was not long, but it seemed to open the way for reading prolix statements in connection with other uncounted States. It was undoubtedly meant by the movers as a stratagem for consuming time and defeating the purpose of the Electoral law. It is no wonder that its success caused anxiety and misgiving, tho time for completing the count being now so short that slight obstructions might defeat an election. But the heavy cloud which seemed to be settling over the prospect was lifted and dispelled by the action of the House at a later stage of the day's proceed- ings. The rakish craft of the filibusters, which sailed into the contest in the early part of the day with flying colors, was hit bya damaging shot between wind and water when a purely dilatory motion was made to take a recess until to-day, The filibusters were badly beaten, the yote being only 83 for to 178 against the proposed recess---the most disastrous check yet encountered by the malcontents. The object of the filibusters in proposing this recess was to gain one day’s time by prevent. ingeany action yesterday on the South Caro- lina case. Had they succeeded in this at- tempt they would not only have wasted a day when time has become so important, but have opened the door for similar recesses on every occasion when the two houses separate to’ consider objections, Had this motion succeeded the South Carolina case would not have been given to the commission until to-day; at the very earliest the decision could not have been announced before to-morrow; a similar dilatory recess would have carried it over to: Thursday, when only two days would have remained for completing the count, with a prospect of objections to the vote of Vermont and to that of Wisconsin. The objection to the Varmont vote would | have furnished a pretext for a recess until Friday and the Wisconsin objection a pre- text for a recess until Saturday, which will | be the last day of the session. The decisive, overwhelming vote of moro than two to one against the proposed recess brought, therefore, a great sense of relief. It was a clear demonstration that the fili- busters are in a hopeless minority, and that all attempts on their part to prevent a com- pletion of the count will miscarry. It is an encouraging symptom that the nail thus driven into the coffin of the filibusters by the splendid majority of 178 to 83 against this recess ‘was clinched by an adroit stroke of parliamentary tactics of which the credit belongs to Mr. Fernando Wood. Np man has a keener eye to detect the political drift. He saw at once when the motion of the fili- busters for a recess had been voted down by so strong a majority that they were destined to defeat. He accordingly did one of those brilliant things which are possible only to men who have a quick and sure eye in sud- den emergencies. He moved a reconsidera- tion of the vote against a recess, and then to lay that motion on the table, the motion to lay on the table being triumphantly carried, which pre- cluded, as Mr. Wood intended, the renewal of the motion for o recess before the re- assembling of the joint convention to act on the case of South Carolina. By this dexter- ous stroke the filibusters were checkmated for the day, the joint convention met to count the votes of South Carolina, the dis- pute respecting this State was referred to the commission, and the chances now are that the count will be completed on Wednes- day. It is due toMr. Wood that his prompt perception of the weakness of the filibusters should be recognized, and that he should have credit for his brilliant stroke of parlia- mentary tactics which followed up and an- nihilated the enemy. There is no exeuse for any kind of dil- atory ncasures since the certainty has be- come so clear that Mr. Hayes will be the next President unless the purpose of the Electoral law is defeated. The objection made yesterday to one of the Pennsylvania electors was so utterly frivolous that the Senate was unanimous in rejecting it, the | democratic Senators voting with the repub- licans without a show of dissent. Why should any portion of the democrats of the House act in so different and so factious a spirit? Their ignoble fighting against a foregone conclusion only tends to bring their party into contempt among law-abidir izens. It is the part of manliness to “own up” when irretrievably beaten. Why prolong a con- test from which nothing is to be gained? Why keep the country in a state of turmoil | and excitement when it is so certain that nothing could be gained by the democrats beyond putting o republican President of the Senate in the White House? We believe the filibusters cannot recover from the stag- gering blow they received yesterday, that further attempts to defeat an election before the 4th of March will not only prove abortive but cover their authors with public sco, What can they expect to gain by raising weak objec- tions which all the democratic Senators unite with the republican Senators in vot- and | seoured by the ansenabia ‘Uufuabionw at dame- cratic filibusters will react the party. We rejoice to see that the wisest democrats in the House agree with all the democrats in the Senate in deprecating and condemning factious attempts to fight off a foregone con- clusion, 3 In view of what took place in the House yesterday we have no longer any doubt ‘that the filibusters will be foiled in all their revolutionary plans. Mr. Hayes will be declared elected two or three days before the close of the session, will be quietly in- augurated, and the democratic filibusters be ashamed of their lunatic and futile attempts to defeat the purpose of a law for which a majority of their members in both houses voted. The larger‘and sounder portion of the democratic party will have reason for congratulation that the factious filibusters did not succeed in ruining its future prospects, America’s Scientific Triumph. “The Treasury Committce of the British Parliament has submitted a report on me- teorological observations in which it sug- gests the adoption of the American meteoro- logical system.” So says our despatch from Washington this morning. ‘This unmistaka- ble and complete recognition of the supe- riority approaching to perfection of the Signal Service system of the United States by a committee representing the British Parliament affords us just grounds for con- gratulating the country and General Myer on the success of the National Weather Bureau at Washington. We, who have fora long time noted the marvellous precision with which the Signal Service forecasts of the weather | have been fulfilled throughout the country, can readily understand why the system of observations employed in the United States should attract the admiration of the world. We know that men of the highest scientific attainments manage this most important department of the public service under the direction of General Myer. We also know that the non-commissioned officers and men of the service, on whose intelligence and steady devotion to duty the perfect operation of the system depends, possess tho highest qualifications for that purpose. The introduction ‘of the United States system into the English service will have the excellent effect of es- tablishing a uniformity of working between the two most important weather bureaus organized, and cannot fail to be productive of greater safety to shipping, by rendering storm predictions more accurate, We'also look forward to the perfection of a system of international Storm warnings,. snch as that initiated with so much success by the Henatp, Our efforts shall always be do- voted to increasing the efficiency of Ameri- can meteorological science, because it must exercise the most beneficial influence on the prosperity of commerce and agriculture. The Old Baliicy. “He was tried at the Old Bailey.” This is an important sentence in the biographies of a large number of distinguished English- men, many of whom have been hanged. It isacharacteristic weakness of the people's taste in literature that they devour with the greatest avidity those high seasoned dishes that.ate found in the criminal calendar, and thus it happens that an uncommonly large proportion of the distinguished Englishmen with whoso names they are familiar are of the sort referred to. In tho history of Lon- don justice, in the chronicles of its various social and political disturbances, and in the sensational Jack Sheppard literature of English origin the Old Bailey is so famous a name that the place is recognized by the outside world as one of the monuments of the great city; and we fear, indeed, that there are many readers oblivious of nice de- tails who would not distinguish accurately between the Old Bailey and Westminster Abbey. But the Old Bailey is, after all, only the edifice adjoming Newgate Prison, in which the sessions of the Criminal Court are held; and the destruction of the roof of the edifice. by fire, as reported in the telegrams, is of no great consequence from any point of view. Candidates for Hayes’ Cabinet. Hayes’ Cabinet, we ice to note, will be full. If there was any anxiety in any quar- ter lest there would not be found in the country men capable of filling and willing to fill all the places that anxiety is now happily dispelled, for a large number of the distinguished men who ‘‘made” Hayes are coming to the rescue. Naturally they cannot permit that their handiwork shall prove a failure for want of a little more per- sonal devotion on their part. The distin- guished Mr. Blinkinbright will be Secretary of State. He was present at the Cincin- nati Convention, where he perceived at a critical moment that Mr, Hayes was about to be nominated. He im- mediately went over to Hayes with his whole delegation, and thus determined the result. Mr. Botherbox, who has hith- erto occupied several important offices, will acept the Treasury as a small recognition of his services in having carried the news to Columbus that the nomination was ally made. Mr. Latherem will be Secretary of War. {Je secured the nomination of Hayes at Cincinnati by defeating the nomi- nation of Biaine. Blaine would re been nominated on the night of the first day that ballots were taken, but Latherem had the gas cnt offand bought up all the candles in Ohio, so that they 1 tondjourn, All the other places will be given to men equally famous for the fact that each one was the real author of the nomination of Hayes. A Men L Juny.—It is difficult to say whether tho result of the trial of | the so-called ‘cart rung murderer” was | due to the jury taking the bit in its teeth and fairly running away with the case, Or whether it was due to an unae- countable misunderstanding of the Judge, His Honor charged the ¢ 48 one of mur- der in the first or second degree, and the pun- 1shment for the least grave of these offences is imprisonment for life.

Therefore in that vicinity the concentration of traffic which can find no outlet causes extreme inconvenience and loss of time in the transportation of freight and merchandise, - besides creating an undue wear and tear on the ‘street pavements. Broadway is constantly crowded with vehicles of every description, and a frequent interruption of traffic takes place from causes that are in themselves of a trifling nature. Nearly all the heavy busi- ness of the city is transacted within an area bounded on the north by Grand street. Within it we find the principal warehouses, stores, depots, factories and markets, each having their special needs for free communi- cation with other points in the city. We be- lieve therefore that a comprehensive scheme of street widening, opening and improve- ment should enter into the general plan in contemplation for increasing the trade facili- ties of New York. We must have wide and well paved avenues uniting the centre of the city with the docks and piers, and so planned that the streams of traffic can be divided into smaller and more manageable currents when they enter the narrow pre- cincts of the business section of the city, An opportunity can be now created in con- nection with the completion of the East River Bridge. Property must be purchased for the bridge approach, and we see no rea- son why a sufficient width should not be se- cured to afford a broad avenue which would lie parallel with the viaduct. We regard with favor the proposition to open a wide street between Chatham square and the Battery. Such can be secured by improving the New Bowery to Water street and widening the latter to the South ferry. But we must also provide for lateral traffic. A wide street from the City Hall Park, through Frankfort street to the East River, and the continua- tion of Park place to West street would give a fine cross town avenue. This, with the widening of Chatham street and the im- provement of Pearl street, would give us much needed business outlets. If any plan for improving the street accommodation in the Swamp region is adopted let it be a comprehensive one that will mect the Pregens wants, The Change in the Electoral Come mission. Senator Thurman has been compelled, toral Commission, and Senator Kernan has been appointed to fill the vacangy, Ever since the commission first assembled Mr. Thurman -has been suffering from a nete talgic attack, which at one time became so acute that the commission was compelled to meet at his residence to take the final vote on the Lonisiana’ case. When it becamo certain that the vote of South Carolina would come before the commission, Mr. Thurman, feeling that his health would not permit him to take part in the future deliberations, was reluctantly compelled to resign his position. An agreement was en- tered into by the two houses at the forma- tion of the committee that any vacancy which ‘might occur during ifs existence should be filled by a selection from the political party to which the retiring member belonged. In conformity with this under- standing Mr. Kernan has been appointed in Mr. Thurman’s placs, and as the new member of the commission has acted with fairness and honor throughout the entire electoral controversy and was a strong sup- porter of the Electoral bill, his appointment is entirely satisfactory to .both parties and to all his associates on the commission. But the change from Mr. Thurman to Mr. Kernan has not the slightest political sig- nificance. It makes no alteration whatever in the political complexion of the commis- sion and is not likely to have any effect on its action. Governor Hayes and the South. Our Washington correspondent emphati- cally denics that there is any room to doubt Southern carpet-bog governments, and in- sists that both from a letter written by Mr, Hayes and from certain indications con. nected with the recent visit of Bishop Wil- mer, of Louisiana, to Columbus, there is every reason to believe that the new Presi- dent's Southern policy will be ‘such as the people of Louisiana and South Carolina de- sire.” is certain that Mr. Hayes sees, just as well as President Grant, that the entire people are tired of the military being employed to sustain a State government, and that if a republican State government cannot sustain itself then it will have to give | way.” It is‘ believed at Washington that the rumors of the intention of actue | Mr. Hayes to sustain Packard and Cham- berlain are put forth by those who desire to see the electoral count fail, in the expecta- tial office for one year. There is but little chance that the completion of the count will be defeated, and probably quite as little that Mr. Morton could be elected President | of the Senate. It may be true that the re- ports regarding the probable Southern policy of Mr. Hayes are designed for mis- chief. Atthe same time, notwithstanding | the eleventh hour recognition that the en- tire people are tired of seeing the military is certain that up to the present moment the carpet-bag governments of the South have been and are kept in position only by the strength of federal bayonets, Von Steinwehr. “Glory is like a circle in tho water.” through ill health, to resign’ from the Elec- | the position of Governor Hayes on the | Finally, says our correspondent, ‘it | tion that Mr. Morton would be elected Presi- | dent of the Senate and so fill the Presiden- | employed to sustain State governments, it | a good soldier | Virginin responsible for the bushwhacking done ip the neighborhood. Von Steinwehr commended a division of the Eleventh corps on the first day at Gettysburg. It was Howard's corps, but Howard, until Hancock came up, was in command on the whole field. That left the command of the Eleventh corps to Schurz. His whole division was advanced to the north of the town and was nearly all lost there. In the emergency he sent an order to Steinwehr to support him with the other division. Steinwehr with his division then held Cemetery Hill. He could see from that point that to advance as ordered i would be to throw away one more division | and to sacrifice the key to a splendid line of battle. This was pointed out to Howard, and Steinwehr was ordered to stay where he was. It was Steinwehr's coup d'qil that first caught the possibilities of the position. The line of battle was formed on his division. Going to Mecca. Any one who supposes that pilgrimages are only made by persons who are fixed in some religious faith will be speedily unde- ceived if he consults railway ticket agents whose trains make connections for Colum- bus, Obio. Doubt may rear its horrid front, scientists may trample upon revelation, but a large and energetic class in our midst re- mains firm in its belief in a prophet ; and though there is a trifling disagreement be- tween them and us os to how the word should be spelled no one for that reason is less industrious in obtaining clean bills of orthodoxy and hurrying off ‘to Columbus to make their calling and their election sure. It is barely possible that this is one of those cases in which the reflex action of the petitioner's re- quest is all that he will get for his pains ; for | in the present impewect condition of mathe- matical science it is impossible to ascertain how a nation which has but a paltry hundred thousand to fill can provide places for the several millions of patriots who long to loiter within reaching distance other Treasury. Allof the pilgrims have found the “holy stone,” for all of them have found Governor Hayes’ doorstep, and though none of them have seen the prophet’s coffin most of them will have had the consolation of secing the burial of their own hopes. They aro to be pitied. These are hard times, and the government is the only concern that thinks of changing help justnow; but those of the pilgrims who are condemned to the cruel fato of serving their country by finding work which is paid for only according to tho quantity accomplished may get some consolation by proving the accuracy of the announcement, doubly applicable to those whose ‘‘calls” are issued only by themselves, ‘‘Many are called but few are chosen.” PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Boucicault is in Cleveland.

THE DEAD O’MAHONY. Thousands of “Frantic Fellow’ Countryman Struggling to Bear the Body. PARLIAMENT LOOKING EASTWARD, The Ministerial Policy Indorsed by the House of Lords. RUSSIA TALKS PEACE. {BY caBLE TO THE HERALD.) Loxpoy, Feb, 27, 1877. Tho HeRALp’s correspondent in Dublin telegraphed last evening:—“O’Mahony’s body was conveyed from the Cork railway station, Kingsbridge, along the quays tothe Mechanic's Institute, a distance of two anda half miles, escorted by an immense torenlight proces. sion, Several bands of music played funeral dirges. The route was thronged by many thousands of people, and in some places the crowd was so dense that the hearse could hardly reach its destination, There was an intense rivelry shown among the sympathizers with O'Mahony ana tho Fenian cause in the efforts made to dispute tho honor of carrying-the coffin. At one time tt looked as if the demonstration were going to break up in. a gen- eral row, The excitement was £0 great that it was decided not to present the address of thanks to the American committee to-night, and was considered wiser to omit all speeches, The body was theretore burried into the Mechanics’ Institute, and will Ho in state in the theatre of that building until Sunday.” The English Government affects the most sublime indifference to the whole proceeding. On the railway between Cork and Dublin people flocked tothe stations to witness the passage of the train bearing the remains, and there wero large assemblages at Charle- ville and Limerick Junction. A LIVELY NIGHT IN DUBLIN. \ Another account says that 200,000 people joined in the procession in Dublin, and that the mob tried te force its way into the théatro with the body.. The crowd was o disorderly’ that half an hour was occu. pied in conveying the coflin a few yurds from the hearse to the entrance, and tbose who bore it in wero obliged to lift it over the heads of the people. In sptte of tho efforts of the cummittee thousands forced their way into the building after the corpse had been deposited in thetheatre, Shortly alter nino o’clock the crowd bogan to disperse; but the de- sire to enter the building was such that it was not judged sate to open the doors to permit those inside to go home until cleven P, MI, A LIBERAL DEFEAT. In the House of Lords last night Lord Stratheden “moved an address to the Queen, praying that Her Maj- esty would adopt measures to prevent hostilities in tho Eust, secure adherence to tho treatics of 1856, and pro- mote the welfare of races subject to Turkey. Lord Stratheden urged that the government should, ‘by the acceptance of his motion, declare they woula adhere to the treaties so faras Parliament would per- mitthem. By thus taking up a more decided attitude than hitherto, little doubt would remain that the peace of Europe and Asia would be secured. Earl Grey made a strong anti-Russian specch. He deprecated interference betwoen tho Turks and their subjects, The Earl of Derby replied. His main point was in refutation of Lord Stratheden’s argument that Eng. land’s treaty obligations were unchanged, whatever might be the result of the Conference, Ho said this argument. carricd to its logical conclusions involved the conecquence that ifthe Powers onco bound thom. gelves by treaty to protect a Stato they mast still con- tinuo bound, even ifthe State wilfully acted against their advico, Lord. Stratheden’s motion was rejected without a dj- vision. RUSSIA AS A PEACE MAKER, The Russian government is giving most pacific assurances, which 1t would appear are credited every: where except in Vienna, Russia frankly intimates that she has no wish to make war and would be happy to desist trom’ hostilities were some rogard paid to her feelings and to the position in which she is placed, ‘There is at this moment every chanco of avciding a conflict,” says the Times, “if Turkey can be induced to appoint some Christian Governors and make a bond fide attempt at adm jatrativo reform. As each Power wishes to be the last to answer tne | Russian circular no written answers will probably be given for some timo.
