wheeler compromise.

y EW ORlEANs, TeDTuuTN -O.-I 'll-
tions for and against the adoption Of the
Wheeler compromise have been in circu-
lation with the business men during the
dav, and have received numerous sigma
lures. Many Of the cotton factors and
others interested in staple products have
signed call for meeting for tomorrow
night to protest against the adoption "i
the Wheeler proposition. On the other
hand, large numbers of wholesale and re-
tail merchants have signed petitions in its
support. A majority of the newspapers
favor adjustment.
The Times says that there is
marked change in popular opinion
in favor of the Wheeler adjustment.
Among the Conservative property hold
ers and business men everything indi-
Gates that Kellogg has come to tha front
with renewed strength in the ranks Of
his adherents.
The Bee asks the Conservative caucus
to reconsider their decision while
there is vet time to say their action yes
terdav was deplorable submission.
The Picamtue says ave believe that
vast majority of the rejecting people
of this city approve OF the position of the
Conservative caucus, and we are glad to
learn that movement is on foot to give
Ineligible expression to this fact
The Bulletin calls upon every man who
shouldered musket on the l4th OF sep

evening and give his opinion OF the
compromise.
The Republican says of the compro-
mise. The bases of the arrangement Is
one that will be satisfactory to moderate
men, either Republican or Democratic
1t follows that Governor Kellogg will no
longer be considered as usurper Out
his authority recognized, and he Will re- re-
ccive the support necessary to carry out
the reform measures proposed.

TOLEDO, February 25.-The warm
weather Of the past few days and the
warm rain last night, created considera-
bic anxiety among owners of property
along the river banks. The ice in the
river is very thick and ut its mouth the
action of the waves have piled up heavy
MASSES of ice twenty or thirty feet high.
Attempts were made 10 break up this
blockade 10y blasting and with very
good show of success until this morning,
when the wind changed to the north and
brought back theimmense field of broken
ice. making the blockade worse than be-
fore. Above the city the ice commenced
to move this morning, gorging near the
Atlantic and Great Western depot. The
water is over the banks and flooding the
flats, doing as vet but little damage.

Gentlemen,-I the article In your paper
of yesterday, referring to the last senatorial
contest in this district, and to the fact that
the delegates appointed By Colonel CARING
ton with one exception voted for me on the
twenty.sixth ballot, you use the following
language: "Immediately the result, appa.
rently so much like q combination against

Although / know that nothing was farther
from your intention than to be understood
as infimatiDg suspicion that q combination
existed between Colonel Darlington and my.
self. yet ! think your language is liable to be
so construed. The allegation has been.mads
by one party that formed combination
with General johnson, and by another
party that / formed a combination with
Colonel Darlington. L now, for the
first time through The public press, deny
the charge that ] entered into an agreement
with either gentleman for material support,

voritism for one over the. other! The truth

STRIKE BAcK.-This is the advice which
FRED. DOUGLASS, with African wisdom,
gives to his race. The Radical Administra.
ton organ haS no better sense than to op-
prove it highly. Does it know what such
advice means: II means war Of races. We
know what the Radical organ means,
however. 1t would "srke back" and
call on the Government for troops, and
then set up howl through the land
that the southern whites were killing all the
negroes, to fire the northern heart and elect
the Republican ticket. This is the "strike
back" of the organ. But We apprehend
nothing from this foolish advice to the ne
groes. There will be occasional local dis
turbances between whites and blacks.
growing out Of accidental, or probably
more properly incidental, collisions, but the
whites know how to check them. If the
whites were not better supplied with iudg-
ment and self.control than the negroes this
" strike-back %. advice would soon lead to
fearful consequences.

The Plan.

There has been much said about the plan
OF voting for delegates named by the candi-
dates for nomination for the Senate. Whe.
Their good or inconvepient, we are Satisfied
that It was as fair as any plan could be. II
is as easy to vote for ticket with list Of
delegates upon 1t as 1t is to vote for one With
only single name.
Exception is next taken TO the combina'
tion oftwo names upon one ticket. We can
not see any good ground of objection 10 that
except from the friends of the combination
ticket. There are sure to be objections TO
both the names SO combined. Each will be
injured by association with the otner'
Whereas, when man runs by himself, be is
only the sufferer from the objections against
himself. He bears nobody e!se's sins, and
forfeits nothing on account of objections to
another.
These points must strike the commoness
observer; and no aspirant, running by hlm'
self, could fail to perceive the advantage ne
has over combined ticket, by which many
must be prevented from voting for one of the
two because of their irreconcilable objections
to the other.
Is this not so? -..----.-
We generally yield to The plans adopted
By the properly constituted authorities Of
the Conservative party party organized
for the salvation of the State from terrible
fate. We always support heartily the noml
necs. If We object to any plan that may be
adopted we oppose not word against II
after the nomination Of candidates.
Last year we opposed earnestly the plan in
the congressional nomination tor This dis-
trIc,, and we thought with good argument.
We opposed it because we saw that it would
he sure TO combine the whole vote OF Rich
mond for one nominee, while in the
counties the townships would be repre-
sented in the Nominating Convention.
1t was putting Richmond against the
counties, and as she was entitled in conYen-
ton to nearly as many delegates as all the
counties put together, the plan gave her the
control of the nomination. 1t was offensive
to The counties, and 1t was unfair towards
them.
1t turned out happily that Governor
Walkers popularity in the country was so
great that he carried the counties as well as
the city, and any discussion of the plan in
convention was rendered entirely superero-
gatory. But, according TO our rule, the no.
miuation being made ended any discussion
as to its manner, and we sustained it earn
estly.
Many of our Conservative friends differed
widely from us. The Enquirer took the oppo-
site side from US.
That the Conservative authorities may err
is certainly true, as they are but human. We
thought they erred in the case we bave quo
ted but as to the plan adopted in the sena-
torial nomination, for the Lille Of us we can
sec no unlairness whatever in it. 1t may not
be the best, but it was impartial, and as free
from opportunities for fraud as any that
could be devised.

The Nominations are Made.

We sincerely deprecate further discussion
of the manner Of the nominations for the
Senate in this district. Do gentlemen con-
slider the trouble and expense of primary
election? Do they consider that the whole
of the nominations for senators and delegates
will have to be quashed and the nominations
all made over again. And, after all, do not
all perceive that all this trouble would be un-
dertaken to satisfy minority, and in doing
so great many more will be seriously pro-
yoked? 1t cannot for moment be thought
of.
For ourselves we should have supported
the ticket had others been nominated with
as much zeal as we shall now support the
ticket which is made. Veg for the repres-
sion Of all sensitiyeness. "The feelings of
omen are as nothing compared to the sue.
" cess OF the party"
We repeat that for Colonel KNIGHT we
entertain high personal regard. We are
satisfied that it is entirely foreign to his "a.
ture to be engaged in the heat and dust OF a
hitter canvass. He prefers pence, and, above
all things, the harmony Of bis party. We
now bu. speak the sentiments Of his heart
when we say that he ardently desires to fall
back quietly into the ranks of his party.
For ourselves, unless compelled to recur
to the subject, we have done with the dis
cussion.

It has been made a frequent occasion Of
comp plant against the press that it is not suf-

There is, perhaps, something of justice in
this arraignment; for whereas there are yet
