New York, Dec. 10. - The Ti-
6une's Washington special says
A growing opinion prevails among
men of both parties that the way out
of the difficult situation can still be
opened, by the Supreme court for a
decision. Thus far the whole dis
pute can be narrowed down to the
question wheth er the House of Rep
resentatives has the right, of its own
motion, and without the concurrence
of the Senate, to throw out the re-
turn of State. This is purely a
constitutional question and must be
referred to the Supreme Court. The
great difficulty is to get the matter
before the court. Democrats and
Republicans are both favorable to
the plan.

HOW GRANT WILL DO 1T.


How Grant is going to seek the blood
Of Blaine at Cincinnati, is more easily told
now than it was when the President first
made the appointments to his Cabinet, that
so clearly indexed his purposes. AT the
present time there are seven candidates IN
the field for the Republican nomination :
Msssrs. Blaine, Bristow, Cenkling, Hart
ranft, Hays, Jewell and Morton. All of
the States but three have held their State
Conventions, and it is, therefore, an easy
matter to tell pretty much how it is going
to stand, when the power of the Grant,
Conkling and Cameron combination is felt
Bl tine is the ,trongest of all and the num-
ber of delegates pledged to him amount to
257, to Morton, 1l9; to Bri-tow, 100; to
Conkling, II; to Hartranf, S.; to Hayes,
4S; to Jewell, 10; and the New York
Times puts down the unknown"
at q. In order to have Pennsylvania
secure it is part of the treaty between
the triumvirate that Hartranft shall sue
ceed old Tecumseh in the United State
Senate, and that the old man give up
efice holding and devote the rest Of his
years to greasing the political machinery
of his State as private citizen. There is
no danger now of Hayes even attempting
to offer at the convention for he would
we'll know that it meant defeat in the face
Of such tremendous opposition, and as hi
is the lowest in the scale of any on th'
list, having only his own State pledged t'
him =, delegation Of fortyeight, to Offer
would be fool hardy.
When we consider this Mr.. Conkling'
walk over the three States, is but mer
stride. The State Of New York is alread,
pledged to him solidly with seventy votes
to this add the vote Of Pennsylvania an'
Ohio, and he has l72. Mr.. Jewell, Of Con
necticut, will not offer with following 0
only ten, and this will swell Conkling's pill
up to 1872. Mr.. Merton has already tires
Of the fight, and as his delegates are all ad
ninistration men, n,willing to obey it in an,
and all Of its dictates, it IA therefor
reasonable that there will be com promis
in the convention, and Mr.. Morton bough
off With the promise q snug birth in tn
Sabinet And with his ll9 delegates ad
ded to those already named fer Conklins
the New Yorker will come before the cor
vention on final vote, 81 strong. Th
whole vote of the body will only be IS.
and from this showing it is very easil
seen hew Grant intends to get ahead {

:. THE COUNTY NETTING.

The Democratic County Meeting, which
took place on Saturday, in the Courthouse
at Newcastle, was in point Of numbers, and
solid substantial worth, hitherto unequaled
Every order, and condition of the people
were there: the prosperous farmer, the
laborious agriculturalist, the intelligent
hard-6sted mechanic, the energetic manu-
facturer and store-keeper, the cultivated
professional man, alike give character and
purpose to the assemblage. The pro-
ceedings were .enlived with soo'
temper, discussions upon questions
affecting, the internal discipline o.
the Democracy. A committee was ap'
pointed whose members are men Of char,
.cter and standing in the party, to revise
the rules vita a view to enlarge the power
of the people, and bring the nominations
for all offices within their purview. This
is step in advance, which no doubt will
commend itself to the great body OF our
citizens, as one in accord with the Demo-
cratic theorem: "That the people alcAe
are the true source Of all political power
The resolution of Captain Barr, as evincing
the feeling of the New Castle Democracy
| for Mr. Bayard, was most rapturously re-
ceived, and the honest feeling of the Assem-,
bled Democracy gave vent in an old-fash
ioned cheer, which made the welkin ring
The ball i. in motion, keep it going, anc
in the coming November we will est aftel
our labors, and have the consolation O
placing in the Presidential char one
whose purity and integrity are unques
toned as Pericles the Just, and of retain
ing our control of the municipal affairs o
the country.
