In' ibis message be takes the ground held by Demoorats in and tut of Congress, that the power to count the eleotoral vote was not vest- ' ted in the President of the Senate. 'This position held and insisted on would have given the election to Mr. Tilden in any event, while the assump tion that such power was vested iu such ofh'cor would as certainly have resulted in the inauguration of Haycc What tho result may now be will de pend altogether on tho Supreme Judges, and the more we look at the compromise tho plainer it appears . that it differs very little from the so lution first proposed, that oi deciding tho matter by lot. Two straws in the bands of a third person would have answered the purposo as well. While we do not suppose there is one among tho leaders of tho Radical party but what knows to a certainty that Til dtn was fairly elected, we know that a large portion of that party has been led by those loaders to believe that such is not the case, and the dissatis faction will bo great, no matter how tho question is decided. It would have been a glorious thing for the country if Morton and Chandlor had throe months ago followed the exam ple of . M. Stanton to the end, in stead ot hesitating just beforo the cad was roacbod. Sioxku.

Mr. Hewitt, to whom tho witness ap plied after his unsuccessful raid on Morrisscy, said this was the third proposition ot this kind that bad been made to him on the part of the Louis iana board, but that under no circum stances would any such proposition be recoircd.

A Washington dispatch of the 29th has the following : A decision was rendered in tbe snpreme court to-duy in tbe case of Badger and oth ers vs the U. S., on relation ol Holies and others; writ of error to the northern circuit of Illinois from judgment granting relators a mandamus sgainl trie pluinttfls here as offi cers of the town of Aubiur, Illinois, com pelling them to audit a certain judgment. 1'be officers had resigned their positions, and their resignations hud been accepted, but their successors had not been appointed and qualified, as provided by tbe laws of tbe State, and it is therefore held they had not ceased to be such officers, and the manda mus was properly issued ; judgment nflirmed Justice Ilunt delivered the opinion.

Secoiid, Wado Hampton was not on the 14th ol December legully installed Uoveroor of South Carolina. . Third, The attempted lnaugnrutionofD.il. Chamberlain being Illegal and void, it did not operate in luw as a resignation of the office as Uovernor, which be held ut that tune, as by the Constitution the Uovernor holds his office for two years and until his successor is chosen and qualified, and as there has been no legal qualification of his successor, D.

The committee on the Florida election reported on the 31st. They say it Is ditli cult to conceive of mnro wunton attempt to defeat the will of the people and impose on the State and country, officers not tliei choice, than is here presented. It has been judicially ascertained tlmt the persons named upon the lare of the returns is bar ing received tho highest number of votes were elected, and the Committee say that in order to asoertuio who Wore chosen Pres identiul electors, the House has only to look upon the face of the record and read the words and figures which determine that result. Tho committee are of tbe opinion that the facts have been judicially deter mined, and that tbe Hayes electors did not receive majority of the votes cast at the election. And in this is involve J a denial of their right to cast tlreir votes as Presi dentist electors, and do determination, other than that which has been made by the Su pieme Court of Florida, is required to show that the act of these electors In casting their votes for President and Vice Pretddent is illegal and void.

The following is the text of the Presi dent's njossBge concerning tbe electoral bill : I fujluw the example heretofore occasion ally presented of commuoi ating in this mode my approval ol ao act to provide for and regulate tbe counting of tbe votes for President and Vice President and the decis ion of questioos arising thereon, because of my apprehension or the imminent peril to the institutions of tbe country, from whlck, in my juifgment, it affords a wise aod con stitutional rneaoa of escape. For the first time in tbe history ol our country, under the constitution as it now Is, a dispute ex ists with regard to tbe result of an electioo for Chief Magistrate of tbe nation. It is understood on the disposition of disputes touching the electoral votes caA at the late election by one or more of the States de pends the question whether one or tbe other of the candidates for President is tbe law ful Chief Magistrate. The importance of having clearly ascertained by a procedure regulated by law, which of tbe two citizens has been elected, and of having tbe right to this high office, recognized ind cheerfully agreed in by all the people of tbe Republic cannot be overestimated, tnd leads aw to express to Congress and the nation my great satisfaction at the adoption of a meas ure that affords an orderly means of deciding gravely exciting questions. While tbe his tory of our country in its earlier period shows that the President of the Senate bos counted the votes and declared the standing, our whole history shows that in no instance of doubt or dispute has be exercised the pow er of deciding, and the two bouses of Con gress has disposed of all such disputes, al though in no instance hitherto have they beeo such that their decision could essen tially affect the result. For the first time then the government of the United States is dow brought to fuce tbis question, As one evil to result io others, under conditions not the best calculated to produce agree ment or induce calm feeling in the several braenhes ot the government or among the people of the country in a case where, as now, tbe result is involved, it is the bivhest duty of the law making power to provide in advance a constitutional, orderly and just method of executing the Constitution in tbis most interesting and critical clause of its provisions. 1'be doing so, fur from be ing a compromise of right, is the enforce ment of right and an execution of power con ferred by the Constitution oo Cougress. I think this orderly method has been secured by tbis bill, which, appealing to tho Con stitution and as a guide io ascertaining the rights, provides a means of deciding ques tions of single leturns tbrougi the direct action of Congress and in respect to double returns by a tribunal of iuquiry whose deci sions stand unless both bouses of Congress shall concur in determining otherwise, thus securing a definite disposition of all questions of dispute, in whatever aspect they may arise with or without this law. As all of the States have voted, and as a tie vcte is Im possible, it must be that one of the two candidates has been eleeted ; it would be deplorable to witness an irregular contro versy as to which of tbe two should receive or which should continue to hold the office. In all periods of our history, no controversy bas arisen as to tbe succession or choice ot chiels of States, and no party orcitisen who loves their coontry and its free institutions can sacrifice too much of mere feeling in preserving through the upright force of law, their country front tbe smallest danger to its peace on such occasions, and it can not be impressed too firmly id the heart of all tbe people that true liberty and real progress can exist through truthful adherence to tbe constitutional law. the bill purports to provide only for a settlement of questions arising from the recent elections. The 'fact that such questions can arise, demonstrates the necessity, which I cannot doubt, will before long be supplied by permanent gen erul legislation to methods which have not been contemplated in the constitution or laws of tbe eounlry. The bill may not be perfect and its provisions may not be such as would be best applicable to all future occasions; but it is calculated to meet the prnxent condition of questions and of the country The country is agitated ; it needs and it desires peace and quiet and harmony between all parties and all sections. Its in dustries are arrested, labor unemployed, cap ital idle and enterprise puralyzed by reason of doubt, anxiety and uncertainty of a double claim to the chief magistracy of tbe nation. It wants to be assured of the result ol the election. It will be accepted without doubt from the supporters of the disap pointed candidate and that its highest officer hall not hold his place with a questioned right. Relieving the4 bill will secure these ends I give it uiv signature. U.S. GRANT.

Please point oot to me where yoo get yonr information ia regard to the scarcity of fuel? Take a good look at the 12th verse and see nyoa do not think it would take more fuel to bnrn that kind of chips than to bake the bread. If your construction is correct why this language in tbe 13th verso : "Aod the Lord said even thns shall the children of Is rael eat their defiled bread among the Gen tiles, whither I will drive them." I infer from tbis that it was a judgment. Here we find tbe same fickle God going back on Himself modifying bis judgment.
