still claiming the attention Of the
public mind in the East. It has q
great many supporters and a great
many enemies in both Houses OF
Congress, but the latter are said to
be in the minority. The Democrats
who oppose it do SO on the ground
OF expediency. They affirm that it
is better for them to have their can
didate counted out by the President
| Of the Senate than by the tribunal
proposed. In the former case they
could find some show for complaint,
but in the latter their criticisms and
inuendoes would be powerless. The
Republicans who oppose the bill say
that it is giving up certainty for
an uncertainty. and that Hayes is
| Justly entitled to the decision at the
hands of the proper officers. Then
there are good men on both sides
who say the project is constitution
ally wrong, and condemn any action
outside the usual course prescribed
by law.
The views of some of the leading
men on the compromise bill are as

in favor of the bill on its general
merits, and if there is no constitu-
tional objection to the carrying out
of its provisions. then it should be
accepted as the best solution of the
question in doubt. Garfield says
the proposition has future bearing,
and nothing should be done now that
would prove disadvantageous here
after. Morton is silent, but does not
favor the bill. It is said he will not
oppose it in the Senate. Sergeant
and Cameron of Wisconsin, are in
favor of the measure. Likewise Bay
ard and Booth, and Kelly and Alcorn.
Jerry Black and General Dix are
opposed, and Dawes and Boutwell,
are undecided. Among the news
papers the opinions are various, but
the opinion seems to gain that it is
the best means to satisfy the country
at large.
Hayes term as Governor of Ohio
will expire with the present year.
He is confident that he will gain his
seat in Washington.
Grants position in the present
state of affairs is something like the
following: ''To me it is not Cover
nor Hayes nor Governor Tilden, but
who is President, and whoever is so
declared will be placed in possession
of the executive power.
Susan 3. Anthony is endeavoring
to resuscitate her old journal with
out success, and Jefferson Davis is
in Mississippi.
The situation in New Orleans re-
mains as unsettled as before. Both
parties still claim the victory, and
each becomes courageous and des.
pondent by turns. Packard still
holds the strongholds which he
originally possessed, and Nichols is
supported by large number of the
people. The investigating COM
mit!ee still continues its inquiries
into the bulldosing affairs, and testi-
mony in favor Of the Republicans is

Hoar has been elected United
States Sen ator from Massachusetts.
The interest up to the fifth ballot
was intense, but afterwards such
changes occurred as to give the sue
