Their report will settle thai much ol the vexed question. The Supremo Court of Florida ordered the Statu Hoard of Canvassers' to reeativass the vote of that State, and to make a report to the Court ol the result of tin4 vote, counted on the i I a co ol the legitimate returns. Two I ? i members ol the board refused to obey ] the order ol the ("ourt, but alt< r At tornev tieneral Cocke had eono to work i and eativassed the \ot? they conebi* tied to make the canvass and pi vaikd ion him to join them in the reoanvnss.

The canvass made h}- Cocke as ordered by the Court showed a majority for Tildcn of 0 1 VOt<'?. . Tito Democratic electors in Florida did not moi't and east the vole ol that State tor Tiblon, and so it the vote is not counted lor Hayes it will be thrown out by Congress, j In Louisiana the work ol the invesi tigating Committee seems to tslablMt conclusively that the elction in that State was free, lair and lull, and that the vote was lor Tihlen by 7,000 t<> 0,000 majority. ]>ut. although both sets of electora met and east their votes a majority ol the Republicans in the Senate at Washington claim that the Hayes' electors having received the corlilieate ot the Coventor thai j ! tlicv were duly elected, the vote ol the I State must be counted lor Hayes. The determined purpose ot the , i > .. i.?: \ - I ...? . - ... .. i i vcp toucan ifiiiiTS win* nrurigeu me ! campaign for Hayes, bucked by the j Adinituslrat'on, to count in Hayes on i i ho elsetorial votes ol Florida ami Bou'iMima, obtained through (laud, and llio manifest disposition i?f a majority of tlic Senate to carry out, the plan, created a general alarm throughout the country tor the safety ol our 1 vcpubliean institutions. Business of ' every kind is stagnated, and thousi amis of laborers thrown out of em| ployment. I Barge meetings are being bold in j i ho Noilhein and Western Stales. The leading business men in New \ ork have held meetings and im-plored Congress to sottio the Presidential question in bonis way as spend ly as possible. The move thoughtful lending 1 vcpubliean Senators are taking the second sober thought. Senators Conkling, Blaine and Ferry, it is said, express themselves as anxious for a fair count. The Senate and House have appoints 1 a joint committee to agree upon a plan to count the vote, and it. is hoped their cflorU will be successful. The 1 iter t] nleulation is that the eloc, tiou will be inadn by Congress, and that tlio House will elect Tilden President and the Senate elect Whcc i lor N ice !'resident. Il so then the Republicans will have gained their Vice IVosident through the fraud of the returning boards, for this can only be done by throwing out the voles of Florida or Lous iana, and these States i havo voted for Hayes or Tilden. ui:bi:'ji ib:> or t n: .bf obi u nits."
