Governor Tilden's Past and Future.

In the midst of tho most harass-
ing complications surrounding tho
final determination of tho Electoral
votewe havo ever had an abiding
conviction that Gov. Tilden would
be tho next President. He appears
seldom before the public, but is con-
stantly at work in private. His
past career has been remarkably
Successful, His first exploit was
the demolition of the Tammany
ring. In 1874, ha 7ing practically no
political record save as a party
manager, he was nominated for
governor against Dix who had pro-
viously been elected by a majority
of fifty~two thor1sand votes and
whose guberhatorial record was
without flaw. Despite the almost
universal belief that ho would be
defeated, he secured m election by
fifty-threo thousand majority. I'm
mcdiatcly upon assuming his Office
ho wagcd bitter warfare against
the Canal Ring, md in the faco of
the prediction that tho Ring would
be too powerful for him, no smashed
it to atoms. Last June, notwith.
standing tho violent opposition of
Tammany and tho Western and
Southern Democrats, he secured an
almost unanimous nomination for
President at st. Louis. During the
campaign, Indiana was made the
pivotal State. Tilden made the
fight and won it. The contest was
changed to the three States of New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
He carried them. On the 7th of
November he was elected by a clear
majority. The Radicals counted
him out in Florida and Louisiana
and declared that the face of the
returns should be accepted as final.
On the sixth of December when the
Electoral colleges met to ballot,
Uncle Sam captured n vote in
Oregon and thus rejoiced in the
possession of 1876 votes attested by
the broad seals of the States. Tho
Radicals gnashed thoir teeth, but
Tilden smiled soraphic smile and
merely pointed to Gov. Growers
signature and cabalistic scroll.
Then the Radicals declared that Mr..
Ferry had tho right to count the
votes and declare tho result, while
the House had only to sit quietly
by and SOC itself cheated. It was
also announced that Cronin's & Demo
cratic vote would be thrown by
Ferry into the waste basket. Til
don said nothing; but he sot the
leaven to work, and tho result is the
plan just proposed. Tilden has
nevor yet failed And with right on
his side, he is likely to pull through
tho mire safely and land at last in
the White House.

How JUDGE MAcKEY VoTED.-Tbc
Columbia correspondent of the New
York Herald says Among the wit
nesses summoned before the Senate
committee was Judge NIackey, the
officlous commissioner from Con.
Hampton to Gov Hayes, who. as n
proeessed Republican, had stumped
the State for Hayes and Hampton.
When the question was put to him
for whom had he voted he was cons
strained byh oath to tell the truth
and acknowledged that he had voted
for Tildcn. This admission brought
smile to the faces of all the com.
mlttce, the more 50 as the confused
and embarrassed witness went On to
say:
"Let me explain, Mr.. Senator" ad-
dressing the chairman "You see.
there were three Democrats here
with whom [ agreed that they should
vote for Hayes, if Hayes was lot re-
sponsible for tho sending of tho
troops to South Carolina, and that
- o4Ao'eA\t 'oCC lOi L HUGH II ne was
responsible.
"And how did you find out?" asked
Senator Cameron.
"Why, [ wrote to him." said tho
witness.
"And what was his response?"
Gle revor answered my letter."
Per contra, Judge Mackoy SAYS
that his declaration that he voted
for Tildon was no cause of en-
barrassment to him. After cleo
tioneering for Hayes and Wheeler
he voted openly at the polls for
Iilden, in the presence of several
hundred citizens, and this fact was
announced in number of papers
throughout the State. He made no
secret OF his vote and although the
Senate Committee had no right to
demand an answer to the question
he voluntarily gave it.
Gov. Hayes, he says, has since
assured him that he did not receive
his letter.

Ferry's Position.

There has been much speculation
as to what course Vice President
Ferry will pursue on tho tho second
Wednesday Of February in regard to
counting the electoral votes, and
many wild and absurd theories have
been advanced. The following
comes from a perfectly Trustworthy
source, and may be rogar ed az
semi official, although not author
lied by Mr.. Ferry nor published
with his knowledge:
lst. If the Senate and House of
Representatives agree as to the
course to be pursued, Mr.. Ferry
will act strictly in accordance with
such agreement, bo it what it may
"a. If no agreement is reached 6y
the second Wednesday in February,
MIR. Ferry will proceed to open and
count the votes of all tho States, ex-
cepting those from Oregon, Louisi-
ana, South Carolina and Florida.
3D.. The question of counting the
votes from tho four above named
States will be submitted to the two
houses. If they agree that the Re-
publican or Democratic certificates
from one or all of the States shall
bo counted or rejected, Mr.. Ferry
will abide by such decision and act
in accordance therewith in counting
or rejecting the certificates.
4th. If by the third of March
concurrent action of tho Senate and
House is not had in regard to the
four States, Mr.. Ferry will then
proceed to count the votes of said
States and declare the result.
MIR. Ferry will not attempt to ex-
ercise judicial power or to decide
which are the proper certificates
from the States of Oregon, Louisi-
ana, Florida and South Carolina.
unless the Senate and House fail to
agree, but in this event he will pro.
ceed to act in accordance with the
constitution as he interprets it.

THE Plan OF SETTLEMENT
Opinions Of the Press on tho Proposed
ElectOl al Coant.l
New York Herald.

It's main features arc excellent.
1t has the great merit of not decid-
ing tho Presidential question by the
mere organization Of the proposed
board of referees. Tho result of tho
counting would be quite rs uncer-
tain after the adoption Of their plan
as it was before. Both sides could
therefore accept it without any
sacrifice Of party pride-a feature
essential to the success Of any plan.
In tho next place, it is entirely
sound, and wise in taking the dis
puted questions out Of the arena Of
party politics, and referring them
Tor final decision to board small
enough in numbers to create sense
of individual responsibility, and
high enough in chararter to afford
u guarantee for upright intentions.
In the third place, tho proposed
plan, if adopted by Congress-, binds
all pat'cs to abide by the decision o.
the board Of rcfelces unless over.
ruled by conc turrtnt vote of both
Houses. This is tho most imports
ant provision Of all, and is essential
to the success of any plan. 1t is
necessary to settle the Presidential
question in such way rs to pre-
clude all danger of its being re-
opened when once decided. by bind
ing the supporters OF both claimants
to accept the Judgment Of tho ap.
pointed tribunal

Now York Times.

Excepting the single element of
deciding by lot the composition of
the counting court, this plan is
open to all tho objections which
have been frequently set forth in
tbeso columns. It imposes on the
Judges of the Supreme Court func-
tions which they were never intend
ed to pcform, and it relieves the
President Of tho Senate of duties
which the amers of the Constitution
deliberately and distinctly imposed
on him. 1t is merely Il device to
stavo off the settlement of questions
which can and ought to be decided ut
once, and it ronders possible tho oc-
currenco OF Presidential inter-
regnum which would neither be
croditable nor profitable to country.

Richmond Dispatch, Editorial.

The compromise based on the Con-
stitution and law and civil usage
leaves the lesult as to who will bo
proclaimed President in doubt, and
for this chiefly it was adopted. No
plan that would certainly elect
Tildcn or Hayes could have been
adopted. The compromise being
entirely consistent with our repub-
llcan institutions-maintaining tho
supremacy Of opinion over force
must command the confidence and
respect of the nation. Therefore,
whether tho Judgments of the
advisory body lead to the declared
election of 1ilden or Hayes, the end
will command the general acuuies-
cence of the nation. Happy indeed
should we all be in either event to
have escaped altogether the inter
vention OF force and violence. What
n comparison does peaceful solu
ton after this manner bear to the
ceremony of the Inauguration of
President under the will of a die
tator, With accomp"nlments of mill
tary appearances and military lirec
tlons, and even the little finger of
tho corporal Of the guard becom
ing larger than the whole body of
the presiding officer Of the popular
branch of the National Legislature.
One scene tells us that public liber-
ty survives the fearful trials through
which it has passed. The other
would show us that public liberty
was dead, and that the national
power had become ccntcrcd in the
hands of the commander of the army
and navy of tho United Sta es
We do not overstate the public
blessing vouchsafcd through the
compromise. We are sure it wi
bo adopted, and that we shall, to tho
JOY of the land, be peacefully led out
of the national trouble which so re-
Gently placed tho country in such
peril
