SUGGESTIONS OF CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS
ON THE PRESIDENCY-THE LEAVING IT TO
CHANCE.
IBy telegraph to the Tlibune.l
WASHINGTON, December 12.-There is an
evident desire on the part OF the more con-
servative Democratic members Of Congress
TO proffer to the Republicans compromise
measure to settle the disputed presidential
question. They do not appear to look Win
favor upon Senator Edmunds's proposition
TO throw the question into the Supreme
Court. They think that Congress has full
power to provide for settlement without
the adoption OF constitutional amend
ment, and that there ought to be
wisdom and patriotism enough In that
body to devise some plan for the purpose.
Senator Morton's bill OF last session,
which provides that no electoral vote OF any
State shall be rejected without the atlirma-
tive vote OF the two houses, might, it is
suggested, be passed by the Senate. The
House. holding that it alone can throw out
return, would Of course refuse TO agree
20 It, Then a conference committee OF &c
ablest and fairest men Of both houses
could be appointed to report some measure
upon which both bodies could harmonic.
It would seem at first sight impossible to
agree upon any method OF composing diff
ference so radical but a Democratic senator
from q northern State believes that in the
last resort the decision might be left to the
arbitrament OF chance. A joint committee
could, he says, be constituted OF an equal
number OF members Of each House, whose
names should be drawn by lot, and to this
committee should be referred for final deci-
sion all questions as to conflicting returns
or as to the validity OF the electoral vote OF
apv State which should be questioned.
Looking at the practical effect OF TINS
scheme, 1t will be seen that it amounts TO
the same thing as putting the names OF the
two candidates for President into q hat,
drawing one out and agreeing that he Is
elected. In all human probability the men,
bers of the committee would all vote ac-
cording to their party predictions, anu
thus the party which had the luck TO get I,
majority in drawing for members would
win the prize OF the presidency. 7such
scheme would proceed upon the assump-
ton that it is impossible to determine who
is lawfully elected, and that the fairest way
OF deciding between the conflicting claims
OF the candidates is to appeal to chance.

Especial dispatch to the Baltimore Sum-
The Republicans Prog Ferane Tor Count
Ing Ia, Hayes. s .ftgty

WASHINGTON. December I2.--It is not ,in-
derstood that the Radical programme to
have the President of the Senate dispense
with tellers and count the electoral vote
himself in the Senate chamber has been
formally determined upon In caucus, but as
urged in the Senate Republican caucus.
That is the only 9lethod through which
there lies the certainty of achieving the de-
claration that Hayes has 1856 electoral votes.
For the sake Of appearances there will be no
caucus agreement to this effect made Just
now, and Senator Ferry is undoubtedly
correct when he says that he was misuhder-
stood by the New York correspondent who
attributed to him the assertion that he
would open and count the votes himself.
As already intimated, Senator Ferry Is
scarcely the man whom the Radicals can de-
pend on to carry out such programme,
and when the day comes, there will Ia all
probability be in the chair OF the president
Of the Senate a man OF more nerve and less
conscience. Senator Ferry realizes that his
tenure Of Office Is frail, and hence he has
scrupulously abstained. from indicating his
personal action In contingency which may
never occur to him. This does not, how
ever, affect the motives or the plans OF his
Republican associates. .>.Ist :.ats

for some reasons the Republican senator's
whose opinions are OF the most note have
become very close. The present Republic

consequence. 1t is taken for granted that
after the attitude assumed by Senator Ro.
tertson, Of South Carolina, he will be one
Republican senator that cannot be relied
