JOINT COMMITTEE.
SEVEN MEMBERS OF EACH HOUSE TO AGREE ON A
srTrIEMEST OF THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.

SEVEN MEMBERS OF EACH HOUSE TO AGREE On
sETrLEMENT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Accompanying the report
ot the Judiciary Committee of the House on the
Mccrary resolution yesterday, and preceding the
resolution for a special committee on the privileges,
covers and duties of the House in counting the
vote for President was a resolution which escaped
general notice. The resolution in reality amounted
to taking preliminary measures for compromise OF
the difference between the House and the Senate 1t
provided for committee of seven members to act III
conjunction with any similar committee that may
be appointed by the Senate, to prepare and report
without delay such measure either legislative or
constitutional as may be the best calculated to ac
complish the desired end of determining questions
with regard to the legality and validity OF the cleo
ton returns. In substance it is the McCrary resou-
tion itself The action of the House in adopting
this was notified to the Senate to-day, and Mr.. Ed
munds promptly offered resolution for the appoint
ment of o committee on the part of the Senate.
Hinder tho rules this was laid over until Monday.
t. will then be taken up and passed, no doubt by
unanimous vote. Thus the two Houses will be
brought together by committees charged with the
duty of examining all the grounds of controversy,
and arranging, if possible, settlement upon which
both can agree
Iii highly important that the members of these
COMMITTEES shall represent the moderate and con-
seryative sentiment of both parties, and that bitter
partisans shall have no place upon them. The SEN
ate should appoint from among the Republicans
such men as Edmunds, Morrill,, COnkling, and
Wright, and on the Democratic side MIR. Bayards
name naturally suggests itself. In the House no
better man than Scott Lord could be found to head
the committee, while Benjamin Hill, II. Is. Payne,
John Hancock, Col. Lamar, Hooker of Mississippi,
and Tucker of Virginia, men of similar character,
would be among the best who could be found to
complete the majority. Among the Republicans
there are many who could be depended upon to act
with judicial calmness. OF these there may be
named Gen. Garfield, Henry L. Peirce, Charles Eos
ter, Prof Seelye, Mr.. McCrary, Mr. Lawrence, MI.
Monroe, and others. Sensible men in both Houses
begin to see how proftless and even dangerous is
continuous partisan discussion, and they Will be
strongly disposed to support any recommendation OF
the committee which will tend to allay the popular
excitement and bring about speedy and fair adj
iustment of the troublesome questions growing out
Of the disputed election.
