The Republican members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature in caucus on
the 18th inst, decided that 1t was inex.
pedient to introduce bill in the Legis-
laturs placing the militia Of the State on
. war footing or to make specific ap-
preparations for that purpose. but to
await the course Of events. and until the
Governor in bis judgment should think
It necessary to call upon the Legislature
by proclamation or otherwise. 1t was
agreed that Committee consisting Of
four members Of the House and two
Senators be appointed, to whom bill to
make an appropriation for the rsorgani.
cation OF the militia be referred, and who
should hold II subject to the course OF
events.

THE PLAN AGREED UPON.

Tho Senate and House committees
have at length agreed upon plan for
counting the electoral vote. and though
not sanctioned by the Constitution and
entirely without precedent. il is perhaps
the only plan that could have received
the approval Of both committees. The
adoption Of this plan is yet to be sub
mitted to both Houses of Congress for
approval. 1t may defeat the Consti-
tutionally elected President, but which
ever way it goes the result should be SUBJ
mitted to with good grace. That the
Constitution should be overridden is to
DO deplored. but there would appear to
be no other alternative, since but few Of
our statesmen possess sufficient ability
to put the correct Interpretation on the
Constitution Of the United States. Those
who have sufficient brains to grasp the
meaning OF the Constitution find but few
followers either in the House or Senate.
Some Of our most prominent public men
exhibit a deplorable lack OF common
horse sense in the discussion Of the
question as to how the electoral vote
should be counted, and no other con-
olusion can be arrived at than that they
have been overrated. The Democrats
consider the plan surrender to the Re-
publicans, but the latter could with as
good showing claim it to be surrender
to the former. The plan as given in an
other column, provides for the appoint
ment of five members from each House
and five members, OF the Supreme Court
three Democrats and two Republicans
from the House. and three Republicans
and two Democrats from the Senate,
which, as far as the two Houses go, con-
stitutes stand-of, and two Democrats
and two Republicans from the Supreme
Court, who are to choose q fifth from
that body. The appointment Of the fifth
member from the Supreme Court is
where the whole matter hinges; if q
Democrat Tilden will have the advan-
tage. and In corresponding ratio Hayes
chances will be improved should the re-
verse be the case. 1t is useless to assert
that man can. in case like the one un.
der discussion, so far forget his political
leanings as to act without prejudice in
deciding which vote shall be counted
It is said that the decision OF this COM
mission is not to be final, but may be sci
aside II both Houses so decide, which of
all things is least liable to occur, for one
House is sure to side with the Commis.
sion, which virtually makes it's decision
final Some of the members of the Com
mission may rise superior to their politi
cal prejudicss, but this is not to b.
expected.

A PRoPosIT1oN.--A Washington dis.
patch. under date Of January 18th. con-
tains the following cheeky proposition:
The Director OF the Mint at Brussels,
Belgium. has made proposition to coin
silver for the United States Government.
He states that the mints of Europe are
closed against silver, and the European
market is in deplorable condition. He
thinks that by using his bullion, houses
in Brussels, Paris and London, for pur-
chasing bullion and coming it at bis
mint, great stability would be given the
silver market. and the United States
would thereby beIable to coin trade dol
lars to an extent sufficient to control the
India and China exchanges. He is fur
Their of the opinion that American silver
mining interests would also BE- promoted
by the acceptance of his proposition.
All the silver that tho Government de-
sires to coin can be obtained at home
without buying up the silver the Ger
man Government offers for sale. AS for
controlling the Indian and China ex-
changes that can be done, il at all, by
and through the resources Of the United
States without taking chances in the
Brussels mans visionary scheme, which
may or may not be good one. Were
the Government to favorably entertain
the proposition so gratuitiously and dis
interestedly submitted it would be uni
versally CONDEMNED for taking round
about way to bring about result which
could be reached quite as we'll by buying
from her own people. That the London
market controls the price of silver in the
United States is true, but by the purchase
Of bullion that would eventually find it's
way to London, if not purchased before,
it would appear that the result would be
the same as there would be less bullion
thrown on that market to depress it.

Regetta tying on her bonnet, to 90 carry
