A New View of the Situation.


A,general press dispatch from Wash
ington says:-Congressman Tarbox, who
is studying the subject, says that the
Supreme Court of Florida has no right to
create new electoral college. He says
in addition, however, that the Supreme
Court has it within its province to deter
mine whether or not the returning board
did an Illegal act in giving the Hayes
electors certificates Of elsetion. IF they
decide the board thus did an Illegal act,
that the action of the electors is nrllity,
and there being no way now to make a
legal electoral college for the State, that
the vote of the State must be entirely
thrown out Of the college by Congress 10
joint convention. The sequence to this
action on the part of Congress would be to
reduce the college from 1863 to 365 votes,
and Tiden and Hendricks having 1871
votes undisputed, one more than major
ity, they are elected,
Alexander H. Stephens also thinks that
the action of the Supreme Court will throw
out the electoral vote of Florida. He
CONSTITUTES the decision TO mean that no
begal electoral college met in the State on
the day appointed by law, and hence no
electoral vote was legally cast. He does
not think that Congress can now either
count the vote Of Tilden or Hayes electors
or form new election. The sentiments
Of Messrs. Tarbox and Stephens reflect
quite generally the views of the Democracy
The Republicans are of the opinion
that while the situation may be changed
so far as the State officers arc concerned,
that the electoral issue remains unchanged,
and that Hayes and Wheeler have the
State and will be credited with il.

Although tho Senate Is the most cndur-
ing branch Of the Government in its per
sonality, except the Judiciary, it has now
only three members who held their seats
during the administration of President
Lincoln, and only eleven who participated
in the impeachment trial Of Andrew John
son in 1868. The three Senators whose
terms of service date back to the time OF
President Lincoln are Mr.. Anthony, who
took his seat in 1859; Mr.. Sherman
whose first term began in 1861 and Mr.
Howe, whose membership also dates back
to 1861. Mr.. Cameron was in the Senate
as long ago as 1916, but he resigned il
1864 to take the Office of Secretary of
War, and did not return to his seat in
1867. Mr. Hamlin, although not Sen.
ator during Lincolns administration, pre-,
sided over the body in virtue Of his office
as Vice President of the United States.
The investigation of frauds in connec,
ton with the election in New York and
Jersey City seems likely to have a lame
and impotent conclusion. After the labor
of a week, in which the Republican mem,
bers have directed the course of inyestiga-
tion and been afforded every facility for
its prosecution, it does not appear that any
illegal voting whatever has been establish

The Baltimore Gazette expresses the
belief that neither branch of Congress viii
dare in this momentous crisis to assume
powers for mere partisan advantage, moi
guaranteed by the Constitution or the
laws made in pursuance thereof; also that
the men fairly elected will be inaugurated
let the consequences be what they may
Gov. Williams, of Indiana, has decided
to have grand ball on the evening of his
Inauguration. He does not intend to
dance himself, but is determined that the
9Th of January shall be great day for
the Democracy,
Alexander II. Stephens says ga wal
is something l will not contemplate. A
war upon this subject would mean two
things-the death of our public credit
and an end of public liberty in this coun
try.

address, says it will be a good thing tc
show his grandchildren as an illustration
of the slip between the cup and the lip.
The Democracy of Oregon and New

Prospects Of an Amioable Settlement.

There has recently sprung up, both in
Congress aud in the press, an unexpectedly
sudden spirit of compromise, from which
we cannot help drawing the best auguries
We do not attempt to trace out the vari-
Gus circumstances which led to this return
of good temper--it is enough to note the
fact, and torejoice over it. We no longer
hear Of revolutionary acts as being in the
contemplation of either party. We no
longer hear of forcible inaugurations, of d
Senate arrayed against the House, or rice
versa. We no longer hear of the House
persisting in the enforcement of the twenty
second joint rule, nor of the Senate insist
ing that the President Of that body, and
he alone, shall count the votes and deter
mine the result In short, the idea Of
violating precedents and of appealing to
force has been abandoned by common con-
sent, and the single object now seems first
to ascertain what is the law of the case
and then to abide by it rigidly. This is
not saying that we will not have exciting
debates in Congress and new cbullitions in

A PRoPHEcY.--In 1865 the following
singular prophecy was exhumed from an
ancient folio 10 the British Museum

'.If Christmas day on Monday be,
A great winter that year you'll see,
And full of winds both loud and shrill
But in summer, truth to tell,
High winds there shall be, and strong,
Full of tempests lasting long;
While battles they shall multiply,
And great plenty Of beasts shall die.
They that be born that day, ween,
They shall be strong each one and keen;
He shall be found that stealeth aught;
Tho thou be sick, thou diest not. y
1t will be remembered that the follow
ing year witnessed the Austro-P russian
war, and was memorable for disastrous
gales and for destruction by the cattle
plague. In 1871 Christmas fell on Mon
day, and in that year the Commune war
occurred in Paris, and the next year was
noted for prevalence of the cattle plague.
Are We to have war and pestilence in
1877 Russia and Turkey are about to
engage in war, and probably the other
leading powers of Europe win be involved.
