The Plan of Settlement--How it VIII
~ Work

&. Work.
To-day the plan OF settlement begins to
operate. To-day the two houses OF Con-
gress will by pira roce vote select, each,
five members OF the electoral tribunal, and
the four associate justices will select fifth
"associate justice" to complete the tribu-
nal. This language is employed in the
law, and excludes Chiei-Justice WA1TE.)
Tue members Of the commission all take an
oath that they will "impartially examine
and consider all questions" submitted to
them, "and true Judgment give thereon
acrceabIy to the Constitution and laws"
Day after tomorrow February lst) the
two houses OF Congress meet In the
hall OF the House OF Representatives, the
president OF the Senate presiding, to count
t1e vote. Two tellers for each house ln-
stead Of one for the Senate and two for the
House, as the custom has been), who Will
be appointed previously, will receive the
certificates purporting to be certificates
OF the electoral votes, and open them IN
alphabetical order, SO that Florida will be
reached very soon. No electoral vote from
any State from which only one return has
been received can be rejected unless both
houses agree to reject it. This provision
makes it certain that the votes OF all the
States will be counted except those OF Flor
da, Louisiana, Oregon, and South Carolina,
aud that before the electoral tribunal is
called upon to act TILDEN will in effect have
1s4 electoral votes and HAYES 166; yet, to
prevent these facts from appearing, the law
provides that no votes shall be canYassed
By the two houses while the tribunal is con-
sidering the Florida vote, and SO az to each
State as it comes in alphabetical order. This
provision will also make it unnecessary to
contest the votes Of any other State if those
of Florida should be counted for TIIDEN.
All objections to the vote or votes of any
State must be in writing and must state
without argument the grounds OF objection,
and must be signed by at least one member
OF each house. All certificates, all obiec-
lions to them, and all papers referring to
them, are to be submitted to the tribunal OF
fifteen. This tribunal will send to the two

many and what votes, if any, are to be
counted from Florida, Louisiana, Oregon,
and South Carolina, and for whom they
were cast. Unless both houses agree to dis
sent from the ruling Of the tribunal (which
cannot possibly happen) the decision OF the
tribunal will stand. So that in effect the
tribunal will choose the President and Vice
President.
No debate will be in order while the two
houses sit together; and when they sepa'
rate to decide upon any question, whether
il be the vote OF State or a ruling OF the
electoral tribunal, there can be but two
hours debate before the vote is taken.
The final result may be the election Of either
TILDEN or HAYES; but we think-and evi.
IDENTIFY SO do the Republcans-tbat TIL.
DgN's chances are the most numerous.

How EACH SIDE WILL PRESENT ITS CASE
WASHINGTON, January 2S.-The National
Democratic Committee have placed the en-
tire management of Mr.. Tilden's case be-
fore the commission in the hands OF Judge
Black, of Pennsylvania, with whom are as
ISOLATED Lyman Trumbull, Matt. H. Carpen-
ter, as assistant counsel, with Judge Camp
bell, of New Orleans; Ben. Butler, and nu-
merous other distinguished lawyers as advi-
sorry counsel. In addition there will be n
small army Of attorneys, who will assist in
the preparation of the Florida and
Louisiana cases. The Republicans have
selected William NJ. Evarts and Bob
Ingersoll as their principal counsel, with
Stoughton, OF New York, and others
less . known II to fame, rs assistant
and advisory counsel. There is no difficulty
in the way OF tile Republicans fighting the
case on its merits. The law provides that
the party Directing to the counting OF the
vote of State shall assign the reasons there
for. In this way the Democrats can readily.
get in all their testimony in regard to Florida
and Louisiana, but the Republicans can only
come in under,the ruling OF the commits.
sion. They will first combat the power OF
,the;commission to so behind the returns.
Therefore, when the commission Is selected
on Tuesday next the first thing it win
have to do after organizingis to adopt rules
aud regulations for its government; then,
when The Florida case Is reached and
the issue presented to the commission the,
arguments on the jurisdiction Of the body.
will follow. This question will have to be
passed upon before the case proceeds fur
ther. The Republicans will, OF course, con-
tend that it cannotigo behind the, returns,
and that 1t Is excluded from going further
than the regular certificates OF the recog-
njzed certifying authorities In the different
States. III this point is decided against
them they will give up the fight and make
only pro fornna contest thereafter. -Spe-
