SPECIAL C'OKREMl'OXDEXCE. The Electoral Count Some of the In . vestigattoni An Arizona man is. Aston ishedNew Senators A few words about Life Insurance Senator Antho-' , ny's Health The President's Organ arid Poverty in other Shapes. ' WAfmiNOTON, D. C, Jan. 22, 1877. -, Telegrams and letters aro coming from all sections ia support of the Electoral bill. Every business cen tre which has so far communicated with it's Representatives in Congress has urged the adoption of tho measure. The most Radical ot Republicans on ly aro opposing it. A lew aro tindo-" cided, but there is no prospect of de feating the bill, unless the members of the court, as is unlikely, shall sug gest objections on constitutional grounds. Democratic objections to tho bill are disappearing. Judge Hoar attributes his election as Sena tor from Massachusetts to tho active part ho took, as a member of the com mittee, in tho preparation of tho bill. Tho investigations hero for the last few days have not been as interesting as before. Mr. Murtagh, tho Presi dent s editor, under investigation lor using the police of the city for im proper purposes, was on Saturday shown to have violated tho confidence reposed in hira by a brother Mason who was trying to servo him. Pre' ious developments in tho case had prepared tho publio. to expect any thing from Murtagh. J. Madison Well, of the Louisia na Returning Board, was examined on Saturday as to the number of votes thrown out bv tho lioaru. lie said )o did not know whether a hundred or a thousand were thrown out, and did not know whether or not the re sult was changed by throwing out votes. IIo is in the hands ol a very ablo committee hero and his knowl- will increase before he gets away. Tho people of Arizona have sent a gentleman hero " Ou a mission." IIo came the otlicr loy and presented to the Attorney General letters from the priccipal men ot tho Territory asking for tho removal of a'U. S. Judgo out there. Tho Attorney General said he had some other papers in the case, and showed them to our friend. They turned out to be from the same men for whom tho missionary from Arizona was acting, but they strange ly enough urged that the Judge bo retained. The ono set ot letters ac cused tho Judge of drunkenness and of having a finger in every ring west of the Mississippi, while the other lot spoko of hira as an upright judge and an ornament to the bench. Tho am bassador from Arizona will go bock to his homo a wiser and sadder man. It is not a pleasant thing to look forward to six years of Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, for in many things he is a narrow man ; but ho was, by all odds, the best man who had any chance of election. He is a strong friend to this District, and his election therefore gives pleasure to all who are permanently located here. . ,; In many States, especially in New York, great interest is just now felt in the subject of life insurance. This is caused in part by tho fail tiro of sev eral companies of repute! strength. One or two of tho strongest compa nies have requested men ot high standing to examine into the assets of tho companies and their manner of doing business. Other companies will have to follow suit and whenever the result is favorablo the companies will find their profit in such a course. A very strong company was organized here six or seven years ago, but the failure of a single large business house connected with it completely deprived it ot business, though its assets were not affected. These tilings seem . to show that something beside individu al credit, or the high standing ofta company's officers, is necessary to make a company successful. Now, what company will enrich itself and give standing to this enormous branch of business, by adopting tho plan of investing a certain proportion of its assets in Government bonds, to be held by the Secretary of the Treasu ry? A fixed percentage of its re ceipts could be so invested from year to year, and absolute security to the policy holder ensured. Tho necessary legislation to authorize the Secretary to receive such deposits would be very simple and could be readily se cured. The assets oft single compa ny are repotted to be as much as 1 80,000,000, and others have amounts not much less. Whenever ono of these companies shall adopt this plan, other companies will find it neccessa ry to follow suit. No business re quires security so much as this; no security would be so good as that proposed. Despite reports to the contrary, there is reason to believe that Sena tor Anthony, of Rhode Island, is threatened with dangerous sickness. He is verv feeblo." He has served longer than any other man now in the Senate, and has tho respect of every man, Democrat or Republican, in either Houso. Ht Cannot well bo spared from tho New England dele cation, which is not now what it has been. Over ono thousand families aro now being fed, clothed and suppliod wit fuel by charity, at this tiiuo.in Wash ington. I he utter prostration of a classes of business and tho prolonged cold weather, accounts for this. A bill has been introduced in the Houso cmtmg money for tho temporary re lief of the very poor. Private charity is insumcicht. , The National Republican, tho Pres ident's organ, appears this morning reduced m sizo but otherwise improv ed. It is not a profit ablo paper and it is not a good paper, but it has been poorer and nearer worthless than it is noir. Nemo. Tbe Oregon Vote'. The N. Y. Herald, of Jan. 11th says tho oenato committee which is investigating the Oregon case, is com ing to the melancholy conclusion that there has been no bribery, no corrupt use ot money and that the hopes they at one time entertained of fixing upon the national democratic committee or upon somo of Mr. Tilden's persona friends, complicity in the misuse ot money, are doomed to disappoint ment. This is especially vexatious, becauso of lato there has been an in creasing conviction, among Kepubh cans that the Urcgon case was stronger than they hoped, and that it noeded to liavo some taint ot corrup tion fixed upon it to break it down. Sound lawyers have been struck with the merits of tho defence made by Gov. Grover before tho committoo, and particularly with tho fact that he appears to havo acted, not in . haste, but with great deliberation, in strict accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon as these havo been settled in an analogous case by decision ot tho Supremo Court. A lawyer said that ho found Gov. (.trovers case nuch stronger than ho had originally thought it. "The Governor," said ho, "makes two points. Ono is that under tho Constitution of the United States, Walts, the postmaster, was incapable of being chosen elector, and that the Governor, who had sworn to support the Federal as well as tho State Con stitution, was by bis oath compelled to take notice of incapacity. 1 here upon arises tho question, whnt is a vacancy, and this must be decided by the State law, to which tho reueral Constitution leaves all' those, details. Now. whatever tho law of other States mav be. Grover shows in a let ter from tho Chief Justice of Oregon, which ho has put in evidence, that . , this precise question was decided by tho highest court in Oregon in 1873. U. Uibbs was elected state 1 rose cuting Attorney ot the Fourth Judic al district in 187 fi. Whilo holding this ollrce in lot 2, ho was appointed United States District Attorney for Oregon, and insisted upon holding both offices, contrary to the statute of the State. The Governor thereupon assumed that ho had vacated his Slate office aud appointed ono Bellinger to bo Prosecuting Attorney in his place. Gibbs refused to give up tho office, and the case Was brought up to the Supreme Court on appeal, Gibbs hold ihg in argument that tho Governor could not determine for himself that a vacancy existed in the ofliueof Pros ccuting Attorney in tho Fourth Ju dicial district, so as to authorize the appointment ot the relator, for the reason that the determination of-that fact involved the exercise of judicial functions by tho executive." Chief Justice Prim writes i This was the principal legal question in the case, and tho Court; unanimously declared that the Governor was in vested with authority in cases of the kind to look into the facts and pass upon the same without awaiting the action of the courts, "That is to say," added the lawyer, ''the State law is declared by the Supremo Court' to be that ineligibility creates a vacan cy ; that Gibbs ceased to bo a State officer when he accepted federal office, and that the Governor had the power under the State law to thus decide and to fill the vacancy. The Court held that Bellinger, the Governor's appointee, was entitled to the place. It is the opinion of some who have watched the investigation that the facts and the law will force tho Com mittee to the conclusion that either Cronin's claim is good, as having re ceived the highest vote as an eligible candidate or that Oregon is entitled to but two votes. The latter conclu sion seems to be thought the most probable.

Not that ho was sitting in a chair iust then.

Rollins. ana wny no was elected. "Uh, yes, we elected Rollins: vou Bee tho Union Pacific does about as much business in this room as anr othor department ot tho Government, and so wo put him in here on tho floor. it will do away with all the bother of calling a man out into tho lobby to speak to him.

Tho Tribune's Washington special says: 1 he 1 resident while convers ing on the doctoral bill today, branched off upon The discussion of what he considers (the present ten dency of political parties in this coun try luwuru cuinpieie reeomKaiion. Ie said ho has observed a movement in this direo'ion for several years, and that he accepts tho reaction of 1874, known as the tidal wave as indisput able evidence of it. He then said he thinks the Republican party will be ablo in great a measure to recover its ost ground, and possibly to main tain it through another Presidential term, -but the experience of 1870, though favorable to Republicans in ocal elections, and to a great degree in Congressional districts, proves to him that on local questions tbe time for reconstruction of political parties has come, lie docs not mean by this that he believes the Democratic party will certainly secure permanent control ol tho government, bin simply that tho Republican party shattered as it is by internal dimension will only be able to rally its forces, and har monize its elements when some new question is presented. That ot course, no one can know until the result of the election is officially declared which party will secure control of tbe exec utive branch of the government with. its extensive and only patronage, but whatever the result ot the present coolest, it will postpone the recog- nani7.a' ion of which be spoke; The 'resident recognizes the fact that the South now presents a united' front ben permitted to act unrestrained by interposition of local constituted ulbority to prevent the white1 peo ple from resorting to illegal means of carrying elections in those Slates. In sections of the North where Demo cratic victories were gained, contrary to former results the means by which they were obtained my be excep tional He thinks before the end of the next Presidential term an entire reorganization of parties will Uke place in the Sooth, at least, and in tbe contest of 1880 that section of the country will not again vote any more solidly for tbe Democratic candidates than the North for Republicans. In tbe South, as political contests are ow earned on, there is, in his esti mation, neither a Democravio nor a! Republican party. The struggle is simply for political power between' the whhe people on the one hand, who desire to ignore tho '' blacks entirely, and the colored people on tbe other.' .Tho loss tor the Republican party of all the Southern States under these' circumstances he thought the' natural' outgrowth of the oppsitioh of the' party ia power before the war to that which grew oat of tho great struggle. If Tildon is declared electod, the" Pres ident thinks that tho two States nora--innly yet held by the Republicans will probably' suouumb. The mo-' moot this result is socured he thinks' the poople ot tho South will bogin to disouss measures ot Slate policy, aud that the icsult will be a division ot po' litical organizations.. This condition' of affairs w ill bo mora wholesome. It nothing else caused division, joalousy' of politisal' leadeYi and a desire to control official patronage' will cause' division. Whore one party has entire control, then ho thinks both political organiKilions will put forth their best' oitorts to securo tbe negro vote, as the Democrats of the North have ca joled tho Irish and Republicans, cul- . . i ki. j ci a uvaiuu me vtermans ana scanainav ians. Speaking of Florida, North Carolina and West Virginia', the Pres.' ident said he beliovod the introduction bf Northern capital and immigration' ot .Northern men will 'soon deprive' them of their distinctive Southern pe-1 oulinrities, and cause the organization' of parties on tho same principles a in ne North.
