The unanimity with which the republican
organs object TO calling in the supreme
Court to decide the moOted const itutional
and law questions at the bottom OF our dis
puted Presidency, is singular, not 10 say sus-
piciOus. That court stands two democrats 10
seven republicans. 1t must be pretty bad
tribunal.LSprbsgHeid Reputlicn,.
As matter of fact, while neither party at
present seems inclined TO favor sending the
question TO the Supreme Court, the demo-
Gratis have opposed it more solidly than the
republicans. In the vote in the Senate thir-
teen republicans and one democrat voted for
Mr.. Edmunds' proposition, and eighteen
democrats and thirteen republicans voted
against 1t. But il would not be strange ii
both parties should finally, after wranglins
over the matter without result, be compelled
TO refer the legal points in controversy TO the
Supreme Court for decision.

The United States Senate is styled q delib-
eratiye body. Perhaps the term "deliberate
body" would be quite as applicable. Mr..
sumner was wont to insist on the fullest dis
cussion of every important question, to the
end that its merits and dement's might be
fully presented. This disposition to prolong
debate necessarily retards the transaction of
public business, but after all il is probably
safer to make haste slowly in all matters of
national importance. Considerable time
was unnecessarily absorbed IN the Senate,
however, in disposing OF the resolution TO
print certain number OF copies of the report
of Senator Sherman and other republicans
who went to Louisiana ''to See fair count of
the vote The democrats contended and
with reason, that it was grossly unfair to
send out an eI pdrts statement of the case
and Mr.. Thurman moved an amendment
that the report OF the democratic committee
should be printed witn the republican report.
This gave Senators an opportunity of going
into the merits of tie Louisiana case and
hours were consumed in debate, after which,
very properly, Mr.. Thurman's amendment
was adopted without a dissenting voice.

Not only are the two houses of Congress
divided upon the presidential complication,
but there are divisions in the party ranks in
each house. Each party has its radical and
conservative wings. Curiously enough the
southern democrats are the most cOnserva-
tive members OF the party in the democratic
House, while in the republican Senate the
most conservative members are the northern
republicans

One OF the silliest rumors which has recent
ly found circulation is the report that the
order for General Hancock's transfer to the
Pacific coast was actually made out at the
War Office, but that when the fact became
know, the order was torn from the official
records OF the department and burned up.
This presupposes that the department hoped
10 be able TO make the transfer of General
Hancock's command from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast without the curious public
finding IL out. The story scarcely requires
contradiction.

The next proposition in regard to counting
the electoral vote to come up for discussion
in the Senate is Mr.. Morton's Senate bill, No.
I. of last session. 1t provides that the Senate
and House shall meet in the hall OF the
House, at p. m, on the last Wednesday in
January; that the President of the Senate
shall preside; that two tellers shall be ap-
pointed on the part of the Senate and two on
the part of the House, to whom the President
shall hand the certificates after he has opened
them; that the tellers shall read the votes and
make a list of them; that the President of the
Senate shall announce the result of the vote
that in case of an objection to counting the
vote of any state, the Senate shall withdraw,
and that on reassembling, If the House and
Senate a gree (and only in that case) to throw
out the vote, il shall be thrown out, but that
no vote shall be rejected except upon the af-
hrmative vote of both houses. In case of two
sets of returns. that return shall be counted
which the two houses, acting separately
shall decide to be the true and valid return.
This plan is vast improvement over the
present mode of counting the vote, hut it will
doubtless share the fate of Mr.. Edmunds'
proposed constitutional amendment.
1t is said that Mr.. Morton, himself does
not now favor his proposition of last session.

name we are not at liberty to publish
passed through this city yesterday. In
an interview he stated that he had called
when in New York, on a gentleman high
in the confidence OF Governor Tilden, and
q noted party manager, who said that he
had been told that one hundred thousand
dollars would "fx" Louisiana for the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency.
This was last week, and it was the i'm.
preston that the offer had been accepted
and that the money was on It's way to
that State. The individual who fixed the
amount needed was himself 4 Louisianian
and said half tue sum was al that he re.
ally required, and that he should put the
other half in his own pocket. II money

The Tines correspondent at Vienna
thinks that q meeting Of the conference is
tolerably we'll assured. The Porte, al.
though putting forward objections, has
intimated that il would leave the decision
to the British government. From the in.
dications Of the Russian demands which
General Ignatieff has given in person,
it appears that Russia will require
the appointment OF Governors for liked
periods, the employment OF Christian
officials when practicable, the reform OF
taxation, local police, etc; also that re-
forms should not be limited to the
province called Bulgaria, but extended
to all the districts Inhabited by Bulgari:
aus. II these, as It appears possible, are
all OF Russias demands, and If Russia
shoysmoderation In regard tofguaran.l
antics, there win not be much need for
the Gar to take an independent course.
A special to the Daiiy Telegraph from
Pera states that Lord derby has replied
TO the Turkish objections to conference
in conciliatory but firm tone. He torci.
bly, points to the necessity for confer
ence in the interest Of Turkey herself.
The Turks who lately adopted very
warlike tone have been someWhet sub.
dued by the Moscow speech.
A Berlin correspondent OF the Times
reports that in obedience to Russias de-
mands Persia has placed some troops on
her Turkish frontier. The new Free Pres
Of Vienna says England possesses the
clearest proof Of Russias Interior de-
signs. She has communicated these TO
Count Won Beust, Austrian Ambassador
at London.
