Food ary a quarter ol an hour elapsed, wben the Judge ase'le bis appearance, to be Immediately surrounded br a Bot of political Mends acd admirers. Be looked extremely well, rmlled good-naturedly, and didn't at all seem to ba oppressed by weighty matters o( a' lent nature.
He greeted the Xjto.ciesareporter.aslshis usual manner, cordially. Vet seemed at once to apprehend that the latter maissioti tu of nature in which the public would interested. "My mixtion here to see after eon matrimonial business." we be'iere were the words that escaped the Judge's lip- "I came to attend the marriage of my eldest son, Peter, which take place to-morrow." The reporter, after Inquiring after the health of the Attorney General, and learning" that be had no caute to complain of Being troubled with more than a bad cold, asked if be wonld object to enlightening the readers of the Ekql'jeeb with bis opinion of the final result of existing political Judge Taft replied that he really mut ask to be a excused from expressing any oplnlou on existing political topics. The reporter expressed his regrets, but assured the distinguished gentleman that one in bis high position mut expect to be troubled with the Inevitable interviewer sometimes. Judge Taft, smiling good-naturedly, said.
"Yea. The EMO.UIBCK baa acted Tery fairly toward me, I WlU say, and tf I feit it would be proper to talk I would with a representative of your paper. But I xnortt not talk of politics."

Judge Taft replied that be thought it did. Had be seen Governor Hayes lately? the gentleman alto asked. Judge Taft replied In the affirmative.
The EKQCiBEJt representative told the Judge that fee did not wish to be too importunate, or to Interview any one wben It was not entirely agreeable to both parties, but added that there were one or two questions ha hoped to be pardoned for asking. Reporter What Is your opinion as to the result Of the reran raoaof the rote in Flortdu, as ordered by the BuprsfciePCourt? Do you think It will result in favor If the Democracy? Judge Taft (kesitatlngly) It appears to me that the order of-The Supreme Court was to make a re-J torn of the votes as cast. I believe that on the face of the returns Hayea carried the State by1 a small xoajorlty. I do not care to express an opiniou about the future. It may be that In Florida Stearns msy be rained, and Prew will be inaugurated Governor with the whole Democratic Htatc ticket Judge Taft did not express an opinion as to the Anal result to be reached with regard to Louisiana and South Carolina either as affected the Hi la Governments or the Electoral' votes for PreaidrnL He waa much arena to talking at all on political Batters, expressing his regret at being compelled to feel so.

Colonel Ira Wood yesterday notified Coroner Malay that be bad received Information that a baby had been thrown Into the privy vault vf the residence No. West Fifth street, between Central venae and John street The Coroner at once set about investigating tbe matter, and dcuiled Fortius, the vault cleaner, to search for the child. The Inquiries of Dr. Maley developed the fact that last Friday nlgbt a young mulstto woman, about nineteen years eld.
named Saiah Vines, who has a hosbattdj named as. Vines, but wbo has been separated from him for a year or so, had been taken very sick, and that on Saturday morning about 4 o'clock she id given birth to a male child of between four and five months gestation. For the la-t five or six asonths derail has been livinc with the colored aigbloook of Harding's rrvtn'i ant. a mail tmmol Can W. Molden, and the child is his bep'ttitig.
It said Oval it waa alive at the time of Ms birth, and for aotne time afterward. wben by the direction of Its mother, a ma 1st to woman named Alice Hardy or Dm Hart, tba mistress of "Hocky" Butler, groom at Fay's stable, took It and threw It Into tbe privy vault. Molden, the father of the child, accompanied Miss De Hart to the vault and held a light for bor so that she exmld see where to throw it. Dr. Maley bad Molden jtrrested and taken to the Ninth street Station boose.
Wben arrested be said that he had married Sarah last Waducaday, bnt he afterward denied being married to bar. He about twenty-sight years old, a mulatto, and has been divorced from a wife. Alice Lss Hart or Bard (she gives her name both ways) was taken to the Third-street Station bouse. Sarah Vines was sent by tbe Coroner to the Cincinnati Hospital, where she will remain until strong enough to be examined on a charge of Infanticide. Molden and Alice will be charged with acting as her accomplices ba the crime, Utongb for tbe life of -us wc can not MM why Maley doesn't charge MoMen and De Hart with the murder of the child, and Sarah Willi being their accomplice.
Tbe body of the Infant was received about o'clock last evening and taken to the Coroner's office. To-day Its tangs will be subjected to scientific tests to determine the truth of tbe statement that It was alive whan thrown Into lbs- vault, and the suit of the trst may have much do with determining the action of the Comnial Jury. An Inquest will be commenced on the remains to day, Vat will hardly be completed until after tbe re- eovery of Sarah Vines.

The Inquest on the body of Florence George, who was found murdered In an allay at the aide of No. East Sixth, street Tuesday morning, was resumed yesterday morning by Coroner Maley and a Tbe first witness examined was Dabney Morris, who Is under arrest as her murderer. Be testified as follows: I live at No. 99 Fast Sixth street; hsve known tbe deceased for six months, but do not kuow her age, or whether she was married or single; was down on the levee, Christmas night piaving the banjo, and on my way borne first saw the deceased at Moore's saloon, on oixth street east of Broadway.
She was alone, and I think under the influence of liquor. She me to treat but did not do so. Left ber there and went up Broadway.

After that I went In search of the poliee, but not finding any. stood ou Broadway and called Watch?" three times. The call was answered by two officers, who went with me to the place and found the woman dead but still warm; recognized her as soon as I looked at her. Dr.

Her weight was about 1M pounds, and the cause of her death was from concussion ot tne brain: and that, in cnnrui'tiou with her intemperate habits and niotte of living.
superindU(d congestion, which, with the above injuries, hastened her death. George Hayes, the colored 'cook of Sanders' res taurant on East Sixth street testified as follows: 1 first saw the deceased on the morning of the 26th. between 2 and 3 o'clock. he came into the rests rant with another woman and called for something to eat. The other woman left.
I think the deceased was slixhtly under the Influence of liquor. Morris afterward came in. and Uiev talked together. Do not think they quarreled. She went out about five minutes before be did.
He called ber back, and she asked him what he wanted, lie said. "If that is the way you give me away you can 5o about your business." She then started to the oor. but came back and whinnered in his ear. They started out together, lie was ahead of her. She said.

THE PSESIDEXTIAL MUDDLE. How It Leaks fro aw vjieaast sr. Press Hawsusatssesi. ef the) VeilBtsklaitt. Tne Volkabiart yesterday published a letter from the Hon.
Fred Haasaurek, editor ol that paper, written from Vienna, Austria, since tbe 8d of the present month. Two-thirds of the long letter, Oiling nearly four columns of the VolksblaM, the writer devotes to sketches of travel and to tbe repression of the press la Austria, and the remainder to the political situation In the United tales. We produce It In full. Not only on account of Its Intrinsic value, but as an exhibit of how matter at home look to an American abroad, it Is quite in teresting. He says: I wrote tbe foregoing lines December 3d In Grstx.
that time it bad uot been decided who had been elected PreiJent of the Cnited States. as for mvse f. however. 1 have not tiara moment doubt who will be declared President The party in power will not let power slip awav from it if the thing ceo be helped In auv way? Had the majority beeu overwhelmingly and decisively liemorrauc tne itepuuucnus wave yielded gracefully; for we have not yet come down to tne iso irvet oi oueimg forcible resistance to decisive and uncontested re sults in oor elections. As long, therefore, as tnere is a shadow of a doubt as to a result or as to tue fairness of the count the Republicans may be depended upon to "take the benefit of the doubt." They will break what they can not bend.
Therefore, ever since saw how clow Die result waa, I have never ceased to believe that the Republican eflii.lidutes would be conn ted in.caleulated In. man euvered In. hammered in or. In short, brought in. lnauguiated and sworn In bv some noog or crook.
And 1 believe no less finiilv that in respect to fraud at the polls and in the count both parties sinned as grievouy as they dare. The one may have intiin- ualca lae negro ana irgnieucu ue uero away rom thejallot-bot-box. but the other has as cer tainly voted him by herds and doubly and trebly often and early." I regret that the result was so cloi-e, since it must result that a sense of imustice and oppression will be feit by the party asainst whom tne filial verdict is rendered that the public sense of right and justice -will be shaken to iu vers foundations, and that the general re spect for law will bo considerably u.idermlned. It will he very easy for a concurrence of circ*mstances to come out of this situation which would lead as an unavoidable neeew-lty to a wholesale or partial changing of the Federal Constitution, either neacrablv or forcllilv. especially of our indirect and clumsy mode of electing a President.
I bave taken comfort in the fact that gold has not remained quiet, but has exhibited a downward tendency, and nourished a hope that the public peace wonld not bo likely to be destroyed or the country be convulsed with excitement As long ra this barometer did not rite I felt auured that the danger was not extreme. You know that I have ravorea tne election of Tildeu and Hendricks, and hsve not 1-een in harmony with the policy of the VolksMatt during the lato Presidential canipaitfn. Th the Pcmoc-nicv did not come out of the ramiialiiii with an overwhelming triumph Is. In my mind, attributable to the heresy of the Western llemivraia on the money question. llut for this, lllden would have been elected by a majority far exceeding the anticipations of his friends.
As the case stanLi 1 reuaru It as roily lor tne iiiiiauum predcii mil "The vanquished party must sutiit to the majority." This is very easy and simple when it is known which la the vaniiuUhed and which the victorious party. Ho long, however, as thrsisnot known, and on the contrary since it must be admitted that both partiea will resort to fraud to their utmost each to gain lu point 1 repard this sort ol preaching as migratory. rould beg to state the case in another form, hurt- poae the Government rerts to a aeries of abuses ot twer to declare the Administration party's can auiate eiectea. ana to inaugurate uim suppose it turns out to be an obvious case of usurpation, then it becomes us to ssk what is best to do. or rather what is the less evil; to submit In tills usurpition, or Ur resist to the dreadful, and, perhaps, in the end, the unsatisfactory means of forcible resistance; or, in other words, is revolution preferable to sub mission to injustice am usurpation ol powerr But does tbe present case of the United States present such a one as 1 supposed? These questions as eserve to be well weighed.
He who sticks the firT brand in the house little knows where the tire will stop, or what all it will destroy. It Is folly to say that the Inauguration of Governor Hayes under the circ*mstances would be an act of strict justice and not a us-urpeiion. Nearly half of the people of the I'nited States wou re gard it as an usurpation. To argue the question of aw with this naif, so tar irutn neing any avail. would increem their bitterness.
But this bait consist of business men and laborers who want bread and tmduesa, ot heads of families wbo have sons, of women who bave husbands and supporters. What good can a fire-brand bring to these people, even though stinging with the conviction that the Government has been ruiltv of an act of usurpation and tniutlii-e. or Is about to commit such an act? This is the question we rout look at squarely, instead of mingling in strife as to whether right is wrong or wrong is rignt. I will not indulge In predictions, as the circ*mstances may change before this let ter reaches America, An alteration of the Constitution In many respects seems to have become a neccsitv. if we would avoid civil war In the future.
For electing a Presi-dent we peed a mode that affords more guarantees and greater security.
