DHMOCRhTIC PROSPECTS, BRIGHTENfNG-MR.
HILL INDIGNANT AT A PROPOSITION TO COM
PRoMISE-MR. oRToE DECIDES TO REPORT TO
THE LOUISIANA CoaMTTEE-PERsoNAL.
From Our Own Correspondent
WAsHINGToS, December 19.-Colonel
Goode and Governor Walker think the
prospect for the Democrats is frightening,
and l observe that the party representatives;
are, for some reason not now very appa-
rent, in better spirits than they were last
week. The bold front, for the most part,
presented by the Democracy, the fact that
they have majority OF the electoral vote
certified under the great seals of the States,
the successful uncoyering Of Radical fraud
i'll the South BY the House committees, and
the liberal and Independent opinions pub
lished by such northern men as Horace
White and General Barlow, have conspired
to depress the leaders Of the Republicans,
and to embitter those of lesser prominence.
Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, is indignant at the
reports that have appeared in some news
papers within the last few days which repre-
sent him as disposed to compromise with
the Republicans-to agree to the Inaugural
ton of Hayes on the condition that the
Democrats shall have control of all the
southern State governments. His friends
say, so far from temporizing with the Re-
publcans, he is thoroughly in accord with
his own party associates, and the best
friends OF Mr.. Tilden have full confidence
in him. Mr.. Hill himself told mo to-day
that all stories circulating in the newspa-
pers which represent him. as coqueting with
the Republican party are utterly untrue.
He does prefer Hayes to Grant but Tilden
before either Of them. He is satisfied that
Tilden is elected, and that he will be the
next President unless prevented by uncon-
stitutional or revolutionary measures blythe
Republicans. .::s ..'' ..s,.'. -. 80
1t will be gratifying to Democrats to have
this direct assurance from Mr.. Hill, IL any
q of them have doubted his fealty to the-'in.
forests of his own party and Republicans
who have assiduously spread the report
that this torpedo lay hidden in the Demo
cratic ranks Will regret to learn that Their
hope OF an explosion is vain. -'
Mr.. Orton's friends assert that he has
decided to report before the Louisiana com
mittee next Tuesday in obedience to the
Subpoena served upon him yesterday, and
to produce the telegraphic correspondence
, called for. The. subcommittee of the
Judiciary Committee to whom this. matter
was referred will not report until it learn:
whether he has actually oheyed the sub
pena. .,a.. :Fi-<.''r..,.-f
General Williams c.. Wickham was among
the visitors at the Capitolto-day. -
About half of the States have sent in thu
electoral returns by messengers, and mos
., OF them have sent duplicate returns By
mail. New York's. return came last night
Parke Goodwin bringing it, and to-day Mr.
William Cameron, a brother OF Senator
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, brought the re
turn Of that State, and Mr.. j. c. Gooder
the return OF Delaware. ... !

REPUBLICAN, TRUMPS.


The Republicans certainly hold much the
biggest hand OF trumps. They have the
custody Of the electoral votes. disputed and
undisputed; they have the control OF that
branch Of Congress which. smaller in num-
bers, is much better disciplined and ,lnore
easily held together; finally, they have .
man IN the White House who can be relied
upon under All emergencies 10 do whatever
may be necessary on his part TO carry out
the conspiracy. .s~"g y
The Democrats see all this, and they are
lain 10 admit that. in only two contingent
cics can Mr.. Tiiden attain to the presidency.
One, the DETECTION Of enough Radical sena-
tors to give the Tilden party the control OF
both branches OF Congress, and the other
the resort to force. Very few. believe, or
want TO believe, that it viii ever come to
force, although it is frequently brought to
mind that down 10 the very day that Sum
ter was laid low with Confederate cannon
the people Of toe United States almost uni
versaily treated with levIty and unbelief
the representations OF war. There may be,
some possibility OF enough Republican sem
ators separating themselves from their party
TO cafIy out the plainlg-exprcssed will OF
the people thai Tilden should be President
