to the Senate of the United States:

this mode my approval of the act to
provide for and regulate the counting
of the votes for President and Vice
President, and the decision of questions
arising thereon. because of my appreci.
atisn of the imminent peril to the Con.
stitution of the country, from which,
in my judg ment, the act affords wise
and constitutional means of escape.
For the first time in the history of the
country, under the Constitution Is IL
now is, dispute exists with regard to
the result OF the election of Chief Mag.
istrate of the Nation. 1t is understood
that upon the disposition OF the dis.
putes touching the electoral votes cast

the States depends the question wheth.
or the one or the other OF the candidates
for the Presidency is the lawful Chief
Magistrate. The importance of having

The Compromise,

The action OF Congress on the COM
promise bin has resulted as we antici
pated, and the "plan" passed the Sem
ate by vote of AZ yeas to IL nays, and
the House by vote OF I9I yeas to sc
nays; the President has approved il.
and the bill is now law. According
to the provisions of the bill, Edmunds
OF Vermont, Morton of Indiana, and
Freiingheyson Of n. J., Republicans;
Thurman of Ohio, and Bayard of Del
aware, Of>the Senate, and Payne OF
Ohio, Hunter of Va, Abbott of Mass,
Democrats; Garfield Of Ohio, and Hoar
of Mass, Republicans, of the House oi
Representatives, have been selected as
the Congressional part OF the tribunal.
Under the terms OF the law Associate
Justices Clifford of Maine, aud Field
of California, Democrats; Strong ol
Pa, and Miller of Iowa, Republicans,
are the Judicial members, and it is their
ldutyto choose the 9TH member from the
OshSi AoocSiuto JuStiSts3 WHICH Will
prObsbly be Bradley, Republican,
from n. j., appointed by Grant in
1870. To-day at 1 O'Clock the two
Houses of Congress will meet in joint
session to canvass the returns. All re.
turns about which there is objection
will be referred to the Commission,
and the other returns will be disposed
of at once. The disputed Southern
States Florida and louisiana, and Or
egOn, will probably be the States to be
passed upon by the Commission. OBJ.
jections to votes of States must be de.
cided by the Commission, as they are
reached 10 alphabetical order, and re.
ported to the Joint Convention, whose
report must be finally acted upon be-
fore another State Is taken up. After
the count is concluded In this manner.
the Vice President will announce the
result. We have full faith that even
with this "plan, !" if it is carried out in
good faith, the verdict cannot be 9th.

has submitted its report. 1t iinds that
on the preliminary canvass, the Hayes
Electors had msjority of forty five, on
then heard protests and proceeded toa
second canvass, going behind the re-
turns, in accordance with the statute
and the practice Of the Board in 1874,
on the written advice of the Democrat.
10 Attorney-G General and Democratic
lawyers, and the result that time was
a majority of 103 for Hayes. The re-
port continues at length to argue that
the count was legal and constitutional.
The results Of the southern investiga
tions have not been, up 10 the present
writing, highly encouraging to the
Democrats.

io THERE is trouble again in the Demo

stated SONS time since that his letters
had been opened before they came into
his possession, and Postmaster James,
Of New York, at once demanded an in
yestigstion, as he believed that his in
teerity had been iInrugned by the
statement Of Hewitt. Sunset Cox
made an investigation of the matter,
aud reported to the House of Represen
tatives that there was no truth i'm the
allegation of Hewitt, as his letters had
not been opened at ALL. Now this raises
q question Of veracity between tive
brother Democrats, but it is to be hop
ed they will not repair to Slaughter

settle the matter. 1t can be referred IL

hat the Republicans effected the elec-

Hereford to the United States Senate
from West Virginia--the former for

though Democrats, both have Union

THE shamelessness with which the
Democracy have tried to make Tiiden
President is exemplified in the action
of Childs, of South Carolina, who tried
to bribe Hayes elector with $50, 600.
After spending six millions of dollars
in the canvass, and then finding that
they needed one vote, $50, 900 more
was advanced for it's infamous purpose.

The election of Mr.. George F. Hoar

gratifying evidence of the sound condi'
tion OF the Republican party in Massa-

Though he is not likely to raise the rep
resentalion of Massachusetts in the
Senate to the level it attained in the
time of Mr.. Sumner. and much less to
that IL had in the time of Mr.. Webster,
he will make conscientious and pure
