PROSPECT or AaREEnENT.
WAsH.YaroN. December i0.-A promi-
r,ent northern Democrat, q member OF the
House caucus committee OF ten, said, IN
conversation tonight, that there was some
hope of an amicable and equitable ad1 ust-
me1it Of The existing differences respecting
the counting OF the electoral vote through
the force of public opinion In the Nortn.
He thought IL the Republicans OF the Nortn
would consider that, at least in LOUISIANA
and Florida, there were no prosecu-
tons for or charges OF lntlmaa'
ton of voters before the gelection'
and no complaint whatever on TINS
score until the Republican managers 1ouno
that the majorities were against them, they
could not be persuaded that the result ar
rived ut by the returning boards was the
true verdict Of the people, and would pring
such pressure to bear on the Republicans
in Congress to induce them to forego tneii
present designs. It is proper to say that
very few others share this hope.
- g THE OREGON COMPLICATION.
Senator Morton has prepared an elaborate
speech on the Oregon complication, taking
the Republican view Of the case.
IMPORTANT POINTS.
Three very important points are devel-
oped by review OF the manner OF count
ing the electoral vote, all OF winch are OF
essential consequence; at this lime. flfst,
that from 1893 down to 1873 the teliers OF
the two houses counted the votes and hand
ed the result to the presidentof the Senate,
whose function consisted IN merely an
nouncing the result. Second, that long
prior to the adoption OF the I'D JOINT rule
the two houses affirmed their right TO scru-
tiniZe the electoral vote ana declde upon
the reception or non-receptlon o. the vote
liof q State. Third, that the two houses
bv formal vote established decision which
has remained unreversed and unquestloned
for forty years, that postmasters and
other Federal officers ere not eligible to ap-
pointment as electors, and that resignation
Of their offices after appointment does not
remove that ineligibiity. It would seem as
if it would take more than any partisan in
genuity to get over these points. Indeed, a
Gordian knot is presented to them which
can only be cut by an entire disregard OF
law, custom, and precedent. Mr.. Ferry, the
president pro tenn. OF the Senate, already
indicates purpose to ignore the custom and
the precedent in counting the.yote in the
Senate chamber and dispensing with tellers.
-.s INTIMIDATION IN THE NORTH.
Information has been conveyed to Demo
cratic members of Congress that it is sus-
ceptible of proof that thousands of opera
tives in New England were compelled to
vote for Hayes and Wheeler at the late cleo
ton under the direct threat of otherwise
being discharged. Members are urged to
appoint committee to go to New England
to establish these facts.
CONFERENCE WITH Mr.. TILDES.
Representative Hewitt went yesterday to
New York for short visit to confer with

Especial dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
The South Carolina Situation.

COLUMBIA, December 1O.-!The situation
is an exceedingly trying one to the patience
of the people. General Ruger's soldiers
still occupy the State-House day and night,
excluding FROM the halls Of legislation the
body formally recognized by the Supreme
Court as the only real House OF Represen-
tatives Of South Carolina, and protecting
the sham House in its revolutionary efforts
to strengthen itself by striking through the
forms OF Legislation at the judiciary, which
has a been lion in path.
General Hampton is anxious. above all
things for peaceful adjustment which shall
give to the State its rightful government,
and it is due to his persistent counsels that
the popular indignation has not before this
burst over the heads OF the gang Of adven-
turers who seek to wrest from the people the
fruits OF their victory. Hampton believes
firmly that he will have speedy and peace
able triumph over the Chamberlain ustlrpa-
ton, and there is general confidence that
the present week will see him quietly inau-
gurated. The delay has been owing to the
coming election Of q United States senator,
which is fixed by law for Tuesday next.
Both parties are looking to that event to
cause great change in the situation.
Chamberlain is disguised with his posi-
ton and prospects. He is moving heaven
and earth to get elected by his fragment OF
q Legislature rs United States senator, SO
that he may abandon the thieves, whom he
has so often denounced, to their fate; but
Dunn, Bowen, and Mackey are working
hard for the same. prize, and Elliott and
Cardozo (both colore0 are also fighting for
it on the color:.line. Mean time Robertson
is quietly scheming to be his own successor,
and .,colored legislators who give him
satisfactory guarantees OF their support
are said TO be able to get their
otherwise worthless. pay certificates cashed
with marvellous facility. The con-
stitutional representatives pay little
heed to all this, and are making ready them
selves to elect. senator. Whatever the
outcome OF this senatorial muddle, it is be-
lieved that the practical collapse OF the sham
Chamberlain government will Immediately
follow. Certainly either this or the military
government that General Hampton spoke
Before the injunction restraining Cardo-
20 from drawing any public funds from the
banks in Cosssmbias holding those funds was
obtained Cardozo managed to overdraw his
account to the tune OF several thousand
dollars. ~, S sss. -. ..s,.tr.
LouIsI4SA.- Louisiana the Democrats
intend to inaugurate General Nichols, who
they Insist is tbs iegally-elected Governor,
and to convene their Legislature independ-
emily OF the Republicans and ignore the nc
ton of the Returning Board. Governor
Kellogg is said to be straining every effort
to win over Conservatives conceded to be
elected to the Legislature to act with the
Republicans, after the fashion Of 1875.

Dag governments Oh Cue SCILcS, uuu HOW
threaten to stifie the will Of the people Of
the United States. Three southern States
have been forced by the President to cast
their votes for HAYES; and now the
question is shall the Congress Of the
United States be forced to recognize
this decision as lawful and bind
ing? The question is momen-
tous one. 1t is plain to all rejecting men
that President GRANT, by his bold declara-
tfons, brings his power directly to the doors
of Congress. He argues the question OF
frauds in the South, and decides it in favor
OF his exercise OF force for sustaining the
fraudulent Returning Boards, and then he
informs the nation that as he kept the peace
in the South he will keep it in Washington.
If there is not force enough there he will
have it there. II. --.5.!-s:ss,s
We, for one, are gratified to see General
GRANT bold and arrogant. He may be edu.
eating the people; but he is placing before
them, a lesson that may arouse their spirit
OF resistance. Their temper OF submission
may not be as abiect as he supposes. The
moment there is proper show OF disin-
ciination to permit the President to inter-
fere by force mt Washington in the election
Of his successor we believe he viii falter
and Withdraw from his purpose II there
is not such show of popular feeling Presi-
dent GRANT will do Just what is necessary
to inaugurate HAYES. ~ 49,. 4. (.
