Wahiiisoton, Jan. 4.—Mr. CONK LIN** ;»n-*»nted a j**ti:ion of banker#, merchant# and other b uni new* men of Sea York city in favor of an amicable aettlemenl of the presidential contest, expree«in^ the h q «* that all j>arty con* hide ationn be laid iwi-ie, and pure, on- w fish patriotism control the action of congreeM in th.n matter. In pretwnlinjr the |»etition Mr. Conk- ling mi *ke of the ch - racier and ntanri- iv\: of those hi„" in/ the (petition, and said they were men Jong snd honora* hly aaeociaTed with great enterprise# and induatrie#. Ii might not be ami*# for him to add his *v.wa) i his aym tathy with the aj.ie-.t! of the (•etitioneni tor patno'ic and lawful >ction v andth* observance ol the constitution. Obedi ence to las and the maintenance of truth was not a |*arly queali party procedure. Par tie* might con* tend and -honnl contend over meas ures *nd men; hut when the question had hern submitted to the bai'ot Ira there was one lawful duty, one lawful proceeding remaining, and that vra* to tind an honest, true result, declare it and abide by it. That wan the duty of the hour. It rested on the senate; it rented on the bouse; it rested on the nation, ami rested on every cit izen of the republic. Party interests, a- well an patriotism and honor, prouip’ed in one direction and taught one ie*H-»n. That lesson is, whoever sUndaon truth and right shall not fall; •di ever stands on falsehoialai.d wrong aha 1 be overthrown. The petition was referred toa special committee of seven senators, aj>p duled to devise means for a projier count of the electoral vote. Mr. CONK LI NO pfesented fourteen memorials Against the bill to amend the shipping art Mr. WKIOIIT'H bill, establishing a court to count the electoral vote, was discussed and referred toa select com mittee on counting; the electoral vote. Luring the debate— Mr. KERN AN said be could not agree with some of ike views expressed by tbs senator from Iowa (Mr. Wright), and desired to express h's dissent now The simator from Iowa had argued that it was tbs right and the duty of the presiding officer of the senate to count the vote; that the duty was imposed up«.n hitu. lie (Mr. Kernan)could not aglet' to that construction of the con slitution. He did not think it was the intention of the framem of the contli- tution to impose any wuch duty on that officer. Ti»e two houses of congress had the right, and has im)iosed upon tfiem hv the constitution the duty of counting the vote. Mr. Kernan then quoted irom the constitution, and said the duty devolved upon the tw of congress, repn>senting the states and the people, to sco that no improner fraudulent vote was counted. lie dif not desire to argue this qtieatiou at length to-day, hut aubmitted that the two houses of congress were not to sit dumb like statues and ser wrong go The practice of counting the vote bad not lieen in accordance with any such construction of the constitution. On every occasion each bouse had ap)»ointcd tellers to count the votes, and as he read the preced entson every occasion when any ques tion had arisen in regard to counting and notified that the two houses ha* separated to decide the matter. It ha never lieen held that the president of the cerate Imd the constitutional duty or right to count a vote. II«- then uu< ted from n timer-»tn precedents, and re ferred to the case ot Mi.^wniri in 1821 in regard to which he said, when it known that there ^niight be a qnes tioii raised as to the vote of that atate a committee of the two houses agrec uiioii a resolution that if any objections should Is* made U> tin- vote of the state, and the counting or omitting to count the saint- would not change the result ol the elec U«»n, such result who i|«| U* stnteil lioth wa>s, with ami without the vote of Mitucuiri. He argucil tliut it wonM not lt« wise for congress to attempt to give a new construct) n to the con? ti- tution whicn would gteatly a*hl to what n'l deprecated, the heat and excitement of the hour. Every senator am 1 evtry rej»reiN*ntative in c ngress slmuld enter ii.»on the diacliurg* of this duty of counting the vote without prejudice and without )>aitiulity.

Mr. SIIKKMAN of Ohio, inquired if tie r« suit of either house objecting to tin counting of the vote of a state would be the exclusion of that vote. Mr. KKliNAN said he would like to hear that matter discussed. Mr. SIIKKMAN radio did not in tend to express his opinion upon the questions about to arise, hut he would vxanvne them calm ly and dispassionately. He had no douht that when the two houses concurred that the vote of a state was frau lulent it should not la* counted; hut it the two house* dis agreed as to the count of a vote it would Ik* revolutionary if the oh eition ot either house could exclude that vote. • Mr. RtXiY, of Missouri, said that was the *.

The republicans are making capital of the fact that Governor Hampton ha# written a letter to Governor Hay Hampton only recognizes him as a c< tt slant for the office to which Ttlden will succeed. lUk-tun Trsvetler, (ttep.) Naturally, Hampton bloomed out a “reformer” in Mouth C'arolina, and he claimed the governorship a# an honor able, bigb-tone«l gentleman. The truth is, he wmita political office in order to continue the same line of speculation.

Tl»e eighth of January i# memorable in our history as the anniversary of the battle ol New Orleans. That battle w as the turning point of the last strug gle between the United States and England. Its result did much, verv much, to establish the American peo ple as a nation in the world, and its glory is inseparably connected with the name of Andrew Jackson, a great man, and one of ojr great presidents, des tined to a long renown, not onlv as a military hero and an original and cour ageous statesman, hut a# a'champion of the people and their successful de fender against the encroachment# of a great moneyed j»ower. The liberties of the people are now threatened by a moel formidable conspiracy. A combi nation of office holders, supported by the most powerful }>oliticai party known in our history, are engaged in falnify- ing the votes cast at a national election, and taking through fraud and violence, from a inan whom the people have elected, the office of president and giv ing it to another man whom the people have rejected. This constitutes a more dangerous attack upon our country and its democratic institutions than the attack of Great Britain that was foiled at New Orleans sixty-twro years ago. I ait us Itope that the popular protest which will be uttered on the 8th of January next will be as efficacious in driving back the public enemy as were the deadly rifles of our sharp-shooters and the martial genius of Jackson at New Orleans PEEP A RMSa J-Oft “ MM If.’ Colmntu* Correspondence New York Herald In the Western Reserve and all over the northern part of the state tne masses of the republicans are excited, deter mined aud active.

Tak away outside pressure, and the whites of the south will divide politically we of the north do. “THE PROBABILITY IS.” rhiixlelphU Rulloua rep.

DOESN'T KNOW WHAT )«£ MEANS. Phi;«>l«*:pbi* Tetarraph, JnJ. Ken. Tlie president, the attorney general and the secretary of wnr have acted a number of times as if they believed that it devolved upon them ’ to settle di# pules like that which row exists Nmili Carolina, and it is high time that cure Kellogg. This action means, in brief, tiiat Grant and bis cabinet recog nize tLe returns of the corrupt return ing b jard to be legal and mean to stand by them. The senate committee on the electo ral vote met to-day and held a short consultati n. Conkling met with them. He only received notification of hia ap* S liniment .Saturday, and he was here on lay morning at 2 o’clock. Nothing dediive was done, but the members of the committee of both sides report a g.xsi feeling in the c mmiUee, which promises well for agreement. The Star this evening gives the pres ident the following advice: “It is stated that the preaident doubts whether he ha- the power to call a session of the new house of representative# in case there is no presidential election by the 4lh of March. A president going out of office on the 4th of March has no more right to call a special session of congress on the 4th of March, when he is functus officio, that he has to call upon that body to assemble on tbe 4th ot July following his retirement. It ha# heretofore been customary for the outgoing president to simply request the senate to assemble on the day when tbe incoming president is to be inaugu rated/' and reputation permit them to speak for that part of the country, deprecate the attitude assumed by Gov. Hampton as unwise unde.* the circumstances. Men like Gordon and Lamar b-ye been and are cons'6tent in their belief that the only hope of j,ood government in tne south turns upon the re-estabVi#h- ment of a democratic administration at Washington. 1IER ANSWER.

If nine republicon senators value conscience and country higher than party, tbe will of the people will here tpecteil,and Mr. Tilden will he peaceably inaugu rated. N ne republican senators—that is the jiiestion. There are twenty-nine democratic members in the senate the other forty-six were all elected either as indcj*endent.s or republicans. 11 the republican confederates lose but nine members, the conservatives will have a majority of the senate, a major ity that could immediately displace Mr. Fern ; a majority against which the conspiracy could never succeed. The presidential problem, therefore, practically resolves itself into the sim ple question whether these needed nine senators will be forthcoming. My answer, based upon close observation, direct information and personal com parison with members of the senate, is that these nine will be found on the right fride when they are really needed. Put down Koscoe Conkling for one. Though carefully bent upon avoiding any public avowal of bis position, there is not the slightest reason to doubt what that |»«>Miion will be.

That they have stated drills is a certainty, but everybody outside of the lodge- rooms is entirely at sea as to whether they are armed organizations or merely political feocieties, who meet for drill and conference. The membership, it is noticed, is largely made up or state ami federal office-holders, young men w ho have since the war become voter*, w ith a sprinkling oi ex-soldiers of the late war. Regarding the organization known as the “.Stars and Stripes,” which i have reason to believe is rapidly ex teudiug its influence over the state, I have been enabled to learn secretly somethii g. Some months ago a promi nent government official of Toledo, wdioee name 1 have, made a prolonged visit to Washington, and on his return he began the founding of the mystic brotherhood in that city. Planted there it soon extended to other town#, in cluding Sandusky, Tiffin (the home of General Gibson, who is reported to be sn active member), Monroeville, Cleve land, Mansfield, Newark aud Columbus. 1 l»e Toledo official made many myste rious visits to interior towns, it is be lieved for tbe pur|H>se of founding lodges. On Monday night last a party of about twenty-five from Newark paid a flying visit to Mansfield, and were, until away into the morning, in secret t one xve with the mystic crew of that city. These* mysterious gatherings under cover.of night have caused much concern to the democrats, who have vainlv essayed to discover tbeirobjects in banding together. Beyond tbe low murmur of voices and the tramp as of men drilling nothing as to what is done within ttieir well-guarded thresholds has been discovered. Their secrets are sacredly guarded, and when after mid night they emerge from dark hallways and silently scatter to their homes, the pedestrians who may be on the almost deserted streets of the rural towns are tilled with curiosity and alarm. Cir cumstances tiiat have come to my know ledge (and admissions made to me which it would bi injudicious for me todivulgeat the present writing) satisfy me beyond a doubt that ifithin the republican party of this state there are oath-bound organizations whose secret ploltitigs bode no good to the republic, and w hich should be discouraged by all lover# of peace aud harmony. WASHIXOIOX XOTMS. Special Di*paten t» the Enquirer. Washington,Jan. 2.—The messen gers of the Tilden electors in the states of S.nth Carolina and Louisiana hand ed their packages to Mr. Ferry to-day at his room in the capitol, in the pres ence of 5?enator Bayard and Congress man Willis. Mr. Ferry declined to give receipts, for the customary reason that there was a contest, an-l the witnesses took notes of the delivery and recep- tiou cf the packages. Mr. Harrington, the messenger from South Caroli na, was introduced to Speaker R&udali aod se.eral members. He thinks the card of the house committee announc ing that Sjuth Carolina has gone for Hayes •* premature, say# the can) only mean?* that it ap)>ears so on tbe face of tbt- returns, and claims that a recount, which is wanted, of the returns of the precinct managers wilt show that the >tate cast its electoral vote for Thden. ITie marer is to be laid before ^dem ocratic committee Grant is losing his reputation as a silent man. Hi# latest ebullition of opini n is upon the inter- vceanic canal project,». subject which he knows as much about as he d;d of San Domingo when he was passing the | senate to an.iex that island Sunday the day on whicn wisdom strikes j him, and* the pub’ic may anticipate ill be for tbe right of congress to .scrutinize the electoral returns and re ject those that are fraudulent. It will lie against the power of either the vice- president or the returning boards to make a president. Those who enjoy the confidence of Senator Conkling know perfectly well that these are his views, though lie has obvious reasons for keeping" them in reserve until the proper tins Put down James G. Blaine as another. I set' an incredible smile. “ What J.in Blaiue?” Yes, Jim Blaine, of Maine. 1 know whereof I speak. .Strange as it may or must appear, the two most conspicuous men to thwart the conspiracy aud to prevent thj countingiu of Mr. Hayes will be his two most prominent rivals for ihenom- in;. tion—will be two men who have totally different motives and characters, who are themselves not friends, but old nnd unrelenting enemies. I do not sp*ak of Blaiue with the same degree of po-irivenciM with which I speak of C ukling, L*r t e simple reason that one is more uncertain than the they were disabused of their erroneous impressions on this subject. - It :a con- ktv>s aud congress alone, that is c\ latent to interfere in the affairs -Smth Carolina in the manner that General Hampton and his fcllow-me morialists request, ami whatever *1 ion congress mokes v* ill be final, w t er it i# a just one or not Exactly what however.

He was used to the howl in thia respect from the quarter soliciting the army, and he took the matter complacently, tie wa# relieved beyond measure to other. But to-day, from trustworthy infc.rmatiou, it seems probable tiiat Blaine will t ike Mr. Conkling’* position in favor of an honest count. I shall an a yze his motives some other time. Suffice it to day tha* they are sound, and that if he does take that position, the generous American people will be likely to forgive and forget certain transactions, at present neither fully explained nor fully examined. ) here will lie no difficulty about seven followers if Conkling and Blaine take the lead. It is thought more than probable, almost certain, that Senator Robertson of South Carolina, Alcorn of Mississippi, and Hamilton of Texas wil be among them It is known that Senator Jones, of Nevada, entertains the profoundest admiration for tbe aluli'v and character of Mr. Conkling and it is probable that Mr. Jones, as well as Ins colleague, Mr. Sharon, and such men as Harvey, Hitchcock, Wad- leigh, Christiancy, Paddock. Burnside, Dawes, and even Edmunds and Fre- linghuvsen, would be strongly inffu enced bv Mr. Conkling' But the greatest influence, after all, in favor of the |>eaceable inauguration of Mr. Tilden, is the force of public opinion, the silent but salient power of right, the daily increasing evidence of the the mon,trons fraud committed by the new confederates in order to count in Hayes. Let me briefly present some evidence of the effective operation of these moral forces upon the minds of some of the most important of the new con federates; let me show conclusively tiiat a change ha# come over the spirit of their dream : that confidence in the s»tcce«8 of their plot has vanished, and serious douht has taken its place. Here are a few facts: Grant ta»k* in an entirely new way. In recent conversations he* has show*n irritation at the “mistaken view of the public,” to use his own language, as to his position. I believe that Grant's m«nd has undergone another chanire within the last fortnight. I know at least, beyond a shadow of a doubt that in a recent conversation with a most intimate friend, Grant said that he never expressed or even indicated the opinion that Hayes was elected and would be inaugurated; that he (Grant) “would not mix in the matter,” but surrender the government to whomso ever was legally elected, “glad, most triad, to get out of the White House.” How long he will stick to this opinion remains to be seen. In this category I must mention a thing both important and amusing. The friends of an honest count have an ally in the White House. 1 trust it is no indelicacy (I know it is the absolute truth) to say that Mrs. Grant is most emphatically against the scheme of the new confeJ- erat* s to count in Hayes. The plain sense and womanly instincts of the ladv have convinced her that Tilden is fair ly elected ; and whatever influence she possesses is exercised over Gen. Grant to abate his fierce partisanship and to neutralize the * fleet of the manipula tions of Cnandler, Don Cameron <£ Co. But of t his, more some other time. Mr. Ferry, too, talks differently. He likewise has charged his mind consid erably It was ojtenly said by Merton that Mr. Ferry would’simply ’refuse to receive the lilden returns from the disputed states. But Mr. Ferrv has re ceived them all without a word of ob jection, It was openly asserted that Mr. Ferry would count the electoral votes and not congress, and Mr. Ferry for a long time assented to this at least by that studied silence which gives consent. But 1 hear from a dis in- g.ii?hed senator from the east that Mr. Ferry has quite recently denied that he ever * laimed any right whatever to count the electoral votes. It was gen erally asserted and generally believed that the majority in the senate would insist upon Mr. Morton's idea that the vice president and not congress had the power to count.

Runion deebned to answer for whom he drew the check, regarding his bnsiiTess as confidential. Mr. Kernan said that as a senator and lawyer he would advise the witness to answer. The witness persisted in refusing to answer, and the matter went o^pr. Afterwards Runion testified he had drawn the check for Wm. T. Pel- ton, secretary of the national demo cratic committee. The check appears never to have been used. Colonel Holliday, of Virginia, was examined. He was centennial com missioner and democrats elector. He did not attend the electoral college on account oi his ineligibility, and the vacancy was filled acceding to law. Montpelier, Janua y 6.—The dsmo- cratic state committee have issued in vitations to leading democrats to meet for consultation on the 8th instant in Washington.

They are threatened with the bar of the senate, and tbe current of the feel ing is toward compelling the telegraph ers to answer fully.

For ten years he has labored incessantly by pen and speech for the success of true democratic principles. He now seeks ;?onie position under the adminiitration of Gov. Colquitt, and we hope his superior claims will be re warded,for there is no man in tbe state more justly entitled to an adequate re ward at the bauds of the people. —Grainesville Eagle: All the candi dates for state officers have opposition, we believe, except Col. Renfroe, the present state treasurer. This is as it should be, so far as he is concerned. He took hold of the financial depart ment of the government of Georgia when everything was in confusion on account of the unfortunate complica tions existing at the time. He has labored assiduously to place our moneyed affairs in tangible form, and there is abundant evidence that his efforts have been crown ed with success. Col. Renfroe’s forth coming report will the fullest and most satisfactory document that has ever emanated from the state treasury, and will show conclusively wliat skill and pluck can accomplish. 1 ol. Renfroe and his efficient clerk, Capt. J. W. Murphy, have both served their re spective counties in the legislature, and are well and favorably known all over Georgia, and, in our opinion, a “stron ger team” would be hard to find. —All the Georgia papers are flocking to the front once more, —Speer is in Atlanta and Alexander haa gone into the tountry. Hence, when the Griffin News editorially calls fora convention to “remoddle”our state constitution because there is too much “sentralism” in it, and because “the governer has two unlimited ap pointing powers which tends to one man power,” and when it asserts that the “judicary needs remoddling,” we must accept the remarks with a slight gram ot saline matter. —A little Atlanta boy writes the fol lowing essay on Chmtmas: “Crismca is a good thing Pa when he cum home he said it was bally and then ma she requested pa what was the matter with his eyes and pa he sed it was the win an ma sed she never knowed the win was hot like that and then pa he aed dura the win and then he layed down , on the bed and snoed offal and then me B * aiLLa 4 Lam * r * —Hawkinsville Dispatch: A corres pondent write# ua that Mr. Hugh L.

The work was done with 15 mules, fihegauntlet ia tLrowndown to Pulaski or Houston. —Richardson, of the Savannah News, says: It is re]»orted that John PI Bryant has been reappointed to the position of deputy collector of customs, but is afraid to enter the building to transact the duties of the office. The last time he visited the building it is stated his reception wa# ho warm that he was glad to depart quickly. Rumor now hints tiiat if he repeats the visit his exit will be facilitated through a second-story window. Mr. Bryant should by all means try the experi ment. Macon Telegraph: The Washington Union, copying a part of Governor Brown’s letter on the presidential is3tie, remarks that his views po*#“ss • in creased significance from the fact that he is. understood to be a candidate for election to the United States senate. This is not the urdeistaadin? here. We have been assured that neither Gov. Brown’s health, which is unfortunately feeble, nor his business engagements, will permit him to contest for the sen ate, and that he does not seek the po sition. A great many, no doubt, be lieve that he would make a very useful and influential member of that body, Dut no one has said in our hearing that he desired the position. His letter must, therefore, be considered as an expression of opinion altogether unbi assed by any pei^onal consideration: .
