The NEW-ELECElUN VRUPU81T1uM.
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, n fow days siuce,
contained All editorial article suggesting aa
solution Of tho Presidential contest tho hold
ing ok now election In the four tliapntod
Southern statos, md offered as m authority
for such q recollection the following from tho
nets OF Congress Of 1702:
Whenever any State has held an election for the
purpose Of choosing Electors, md han fallcl to
make choice on tho day prescribed by law, Tho
Electors u1ay be appointed on subsequent day In
tNch d manner AZ tho Legislature Of such Stalo
may direct.
Both tho nro.eating sheets IN this city,
Republican and Democratic, and tho fire.
eating sheets oil over tho country, havo op-
posed tho proposition IN their usual hot
headed md swashbucklcr manner, as If this
plan were TO DO forced npon tho country.
The TRIBUNE made tho proposition in no
such aririt. It ItoGercd this suggestion Ms one
that could bo nctea upon, II tho leaders Of
both parties wcro sincere in wishing to
ngreo upon como compromise. It recog-
nized tho fact That there Is a dispute as to
the honesty Of tho election; TINT the nepub-
licana clafm that they were deprived Of their
lawful majority in these four States by
fraud, intimidation, md terrorism prnoticed
upon voters; and that, ii thero Ind been q
fair and FREQ election, ns in tho North,
they would have carriel nil four
Of these States by 1naiorities which
would not have admitted Of any question;
mud that tho Democrats claimed they Ind the
majority of votes in tho boxes, md that they
had tho right to count them. irrespective Of
tho n'otlod by which they were obtained, aud
declare tho result, precisclytns Ed pn1I11ra
md MIKE EVANS once did with their stuffed
boxes in this city. Necognizing this conflict,
and believing TINT the lending men Of both
parties were desirous Of avoiding collision
and bloodshed anil removing the present dis
tracted condition Of society and business,
TuE TRIBUNE threw out this suggestion Of
plan by which a now vote could be takon rs
basia upon which the leaders might CONF
promise If they wore so disposed. It
mover intimated tl,at tho p1an could
be forced upon tho country; on
tho other hand, II both parties
aro not agreed upon It, 1t would prove utterly
impractical. With the assent of Congress
and of tho Legislatures Of these States, mud
especially II held under tho supervision Of
national officers or members of Congress,
such elections wou1d DO perfectly legal and
practical. That was tho position of The
TRIBUNE, and against that position no moral
or 1egal objection, or objection Of any sort,
can lie, except tho determination Of tho fire.
eaters TINT there shall not be now election,
and that their man shall be iuauguEated,
right or wrong. But If tho leaders of the
two parties who aro desirious Of compro-
misc cannot meet upon tAis ground, they
must find some other, and ind 1t speedily.

ma fixed up by tho Democratic bnllaozer
judges Of election.
A further proof Of this Is fonnd in tho fact
TINT, outaide tho b11lltlozed parishes, tho Re-
publican voto was larger than ever l,ofore In
tho staso; ,wli1o Ii, New Orleans, wlero
proper guards againat repeating and ballot-
stufflng wero provided, the Democratic mn
jority was Cit down some 900. Where tile
colored men woro sutroro1 to como out md
vote, they did 80, voting tho Republican
ticket Utmost unanimously, as they would
have done in tho bulldozed pariall2.
Tho suppression Of tho majority was pre-
cisoly what was attempted by tho bul1dozers.
In tho most overwhelmingly Republican
parishes In tho State they kept tho negroes
from tho polls by terrorism, and put enough
votes into tho. ballot-boxsa to count mp
Democratic n,atoritios And It was not tho
suppression Of this minority, but tho anb-
preston Of this outrage upon tho ballot, that
was perpotrated by tho Returning Board.
Thero was nowhere in the State intimidation
or bulldozing Of WAito-Liners or other Dem.
ocratic voters. Who're equal right was nc
corded to oolorod Republicans, tho returns
wero counted; bnt, whore only one sile-tho
bulfdozora' side-was FREQ to vote, tho Rc-
turning Board rejected tho returns, to 10
which, in such case, 1t was established by
law.
There WIS no suppression of tho Demo-
cratic vote. Where tho Democrats sup
pressed Republican votes, tho vote In those
parislos-wl,ich WINS In Inv and in fact no
vote, not having been cnst at fair, free
election-was rejected. Tint is tho whole
caso "a to tho suppression Of tho minority in
Louisiana, md the follows who breathe gore
beca,se tho Returning Doard defeated tho
bull'lozing scheme whereby, with TtnDEv,
they were to 10 counted. into tho post-otlces
and custom-housoa, cannot persuade tho

The effect Of remonetizing silver i'll tho
United States would bo to bring tho relative
values Of gold and silver to some fixed aud
permanent standard. For nearly 100 yea,H
tho average yalne Of silver nna gold l,as
rarely, and then only for brlcf intervals and
at particular points, varied from LIZ Of silver
to of gold. Owing to peculiar circum.
stances, this standard has varied for short
terms, but has always returned. Tho fall of
silver in 1874 and 1875 was largely duo to a
panic, which, combined with n general de-
preston Of business, llas not yet lost MI it's
effects. On the 10th OF December tho price
of tino silver in London was oct pence per
ounce. Trade dollars (420 grains) wero sold
the same day ut ! per cent premium In Cali-
fornia, and small silver at O. per cont dis:
count. The return of silver to ita ordinary
proportionato value is therefore only
question Of time. The passage by Con-
gress of BLAsn's bill providing for
tile recoiuago Of tho old American
silver dol1ar (t1a1 grains) and q
logal-tonder for NIL dobts would hayo tho
effect Of hastening the return Of silyor to its

Of tho powers md duties of the Returning
Boards, and ono that ctfectually clcars up tho
muddlo that has been made nbout tho action
OF tho Returning Bonrts OF Louisiana, South
Carolina, and Florida, is that made by Judge
BoSp, Of tho United States District Court, in
TIM South Carolina case. This arose upon
the application Of tho members Of tho re-
turning Board of that State for release upon
ha6efls corpus from their imprisonment for
contempt by tho Supreme Court Of South
Carolsna. Tho alleged contempt consisted
in tho refusal Of tue Board to obey writ Of
naan'amus issued by tho State Court COM
mandiug them, In substance, to limit their
canvass Of tho vote to count Of the entire
returns as made by tho local election officers
to tho County Boartls. The real point pro-
aented waa as to the power Of the Returning
Bpartl to not merely count, but to canvass, the
returns, deciding all llcoptests and chargos Of
fraud and isrsgularity. IT, under the law, the
Returning Board WAS vested with that power,
then the Stnte Court Ind 10 Jurisdiction to
interfere with the Board in the exercise of
that power. And IL tho State Court had not
Jurisdiction, Of course the Doard could not
bo committed for contgmpt in tlisoboying tho
mandate Of tho stato Court, by which TINT
tribunal assumed to direct how tho oanvass
should be made.
