Recess. ihe impression still prevails among tiie employes of the House that a count will be finally prevented; but in more | thoughtful circles the hope or fear of it j is abandoned. Senators Sherman, Stanley Matthews ‘and Congressman Charles Foster seem most near Governor Hayes. Bob In gersoll is hero atid is much sought and quoted by Southern place-seekers. In’- gersoil assumes quite a chivalrous ground, and does not know how in honor Hayes can abandon Packard aud Chamberlain. Foster is known to be in favor of allowing the Southern people to manage their own affairs. Stanley Matthews to-day spoke quite freely in the same direction, and Sen ator Sherman has taken pains to let it be known that he is not trying to shape the Southern policy of Mr. Hayes. The Cabinet had a very long session Some effort was rnado to change the Southern situation, in what direction is unknown, tort the President was im uiovabie. All the Secretaries have* ; placed their resignations in the Presi j dent’s hands. G'-q. John T. Morgan, of Alabama, ••x-Govet'iior A. H. Garland, of Arkun sas, ex-Governor Isham G.

Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia, and Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, United States Senators elect from their re spective States, being members of the House, are also here. The Southern Conservatives regard the accession of these gentlemen to the Senate as one that will add largely to the ability from Southern States in that body. By Blount and Atki’ns efforts to-day in getting §275,000 to pay Southern ante beVum mail contracts, appropri ated by the sundry civil bill, Georgia will be benefited about §BO,OOO. Blount made the point that the law forbidding payment was in the nature of a bill of attainder, and clearly unconstitutional.

When they came to ask for a slight recognition of their rights, he felt that, they might as well put up their prayers to Jupiter, Mars or Apollo.

Washington, February 88.—The Re publican managers for Gov. Hayes will give no formal promise of recognition to the Nieholls government, as that would be crushing Packard out, but they are willing to lot his government tail to pieces with the reservation t hat Packard and his followers shall not be prosecuted or persecuted. There is a tacit understanding that the Senato rial delegation shall not be utterly ob jectionable to tho-majority of tho Sen ate. Republican leaders say the situ ation in South Carolina is more simple, as no status quo orders from Washing ton interfere with the result which all seem to desire. The friends of the Nieholls Govern ment here assyit positively that the President lias promised to withdraw his status quo orders upon tho procla mation of the vote. This is founded upon personal pledges, which may or may not be carried out. The Republi cans call it an understanding. The Di mocrats seem to claim for it, the i sanctity of a tieaty. It is considered lon all hands as the only honorable ‘ way out of the difficulty, and the one which public opinion will CO mp-l fin j in-corning administration to tau". On assembling, the yeas and nays were called for a quorum. Saylor offered a resolution that the House meet the Senate at 12:10. This breaks the legislative day, but was in the in terest of the appropriation bill, v.hich, by unanimous consent, was’ taken up and passed. The Senate enters the Hall after prayers, and in the legisla tive day of Wednesday. Gov. Perm arid Col. Roberts, of tire Times, called on President Grant. They give no details beyond perfect satis faction with the views of the President. It now seems certain the programme involves the withdrawal of troops to their barracks, with orders to Gen. Augur to carefully prevent riot and bloodshed. This is tantamount to the superceeding of orders regarding the status quo. The joint session reported in favor of casting the vote of South Carolina for Hayes and Wheeler. The Houses separated. A motion that the House take a recess was lost by 91 to IG7. The Senate returned to its chamber at 12:.i5, and Mr. Robertson submitted a resolution that the decision of the Commission upon the electoral vote of the Slate of South Carolina stand as the Judgment of the Senate, objeetl >us made thereto to the contrary noiwlih. standing.
