The President VIII Have Peace.

The President says that he proposes to see
that the peace is m aintained, and that who
ever Is duly declared as his successor is peace
ably inaugurated. The people OF the nation
have the most implicit confidence in the prom
Uses of General Grant. They know that what
he promises will be faithfully fulfilled. He
believes that an ounce of prevention is worth
more than pound of cure; in fact he believes
in fighting 1t out on this line If it takes all
winter. He will keep the soldiers now sta
toned in Washington just where they are until
after the 4th of March, and order more here If
he deems 1t necessary for the public peace.
General Grant does not play with serious mat
tiers; he will not toy with the Democratic fire.
brands of revolution: he will have peace. The
country has already heartily responded to the
wisdom and prudence displayed by the Presi-
dent In taking precautionary measures to Sc
cure tranquility in Washington during the
pending contest. They will support him in
preserving peace. .---- 81 '...
SoHr OF the Democrats Of Oregon are crying
They say it is burning shame that Cronin and
Grover got 50 many Of those Grameroy Park
greenbacks, and they are urging Colonel Pslton
to make q recount in which their services also
to be recognised.
AN INTERESTING pamphlet has recently been
prepared by Col. A. X. Owens, an able engineer,
on a survey of Q line Of railroad from Austin,
Texas, to TopoIovampo, . fine hsrbor on the
Pacific, near the mouth OF the Gulf of California.
1t is Q good condensation Of a vast amount of
statistics and Information shout that wonderful

MANY ARE wondering why there is such
reduction in the premium on gold. The banks in
New York have On hand thirty-eight million dol
lars in gold, much Of Il being collateral security
for loans of greenbacks. This is larger than any
amount of coin held by these banks since the sus-
pension of specie payments. The consequence Is
the average price Of gold for the past thirty days
il lower than 1t has been since 1892.
SENATOR CHARLES PIECKNEY, Of South Caro-
lima, one Of the trainers Of the Constitution, and

cisely the same arguments which the Democrats
are making now. Speaking Of the intent Of the

The Democrats themselves have no conf
dence that Tilden is elected. Their bluster
about the popular majority and unrighteous
Returning Boards is the natural result Of q
braggadocis disposition which has character
lied them for twenty years.
In the first place, by pretending to claim the
election Of an electer whom the Oregon voters
defeated by over thousand majority they are
acting the clown, and not the statesman.
Their three-thousand-dollar bride to Cronin
adds infamy to this transaction, and shows
their desperate condition.
Morrissey, in declaring all bets of, proves
that he, As the striker of Tilden, has no conf
dence In the latter's election.
The frantic efforts on the part of the Democ-
racy to change the result in some of the States
after that result had been legally declared by
constituted authorities shows Q decided lack
of faith In the election of their candidate.
The popular demonstr ation made on Mon
day last to influence Congress in counting the
electoral vote is satisfactory evidence 20 every
thinking mind that the Democracy are con-
scious of defeat and are trying to secure that
which they have lost by the exercise Of brute
force.
Their daily and hourly declarations that
they will have Tilden or blood, and the prep
arations, now going on all over the country,
to send a threatening and bellicose mob to the
National Capital, to see that the count is made
according to their wishes, are witnesses to the
fact that they do not believe that Tilden has
been honestly or fairly elected.
All of these acts on the part Of the Democ-
racy have been both stupid and vicious, hatch
ing ruin for themselves and wretchedness for
the nation. 1t has worked such positive in
jury to the Democratic party that were an
other national election held this month they
would be passed into oblivion by the will of
at least thirty States Of the Union. In wit
ness whereof we simply refer to the special
elections held recently In the West and East,
where the Democracy were routed, horse, foot
and dragon.

WHILE THE PUBLIC has been treated TO . novel
sensation in the May Bennett dimculty, and has
enjoyed good deal Of fun at the expense OF the
principals, the affair is likely to prove NO laugh
ing matter to the members Of the party who
visited Delaware . few days since. Several gen.
tlemen, who are supposed to know more or less
about the affair, have been summoned before the
grand jury to give evidence upon which to found
indictments sganst the parties to the alleged duel
Dr.. Phelps, q surgeon, who is supposed to have
been one of the parties implicated, refused yes
terdsy to testify, and was. in consequence, duly
committed for contempt. He was not locked up,
but was permitted to 90 about the streets in COM
psny with deputy sheriff, who attended him in
his visits to his patients to the clubs and else
where. The other gentlemen who have been sub
psnaed viii, it is understood, follow DR.. Phelps
example, and decline to testify, whereupon they
will doubtless be declared in contempt also.
Messrs. Bennett and May have not yet been called
upon, and it is scarcely possible they could be
found II they should happen to be wanted"
If the grand jury succeeds in extracting from
these Witnesses the facts In regard to the alleged
duel, 1t will do more than the newspapers have
been able to accomplish. The duel is supposed to
have taken place on Monday, yet the most con-
Trajectory reports are current regarding the
affair, and, in the absence of facts, the
newspapers give currency to all. The
latest is to the effect that Mr.. May is
seriously wounded, and that q fatal result is
anticipated. His death would greatly add to
the present complication, and render still more
delicate the position in which the witnesses are
placed. But the report that any one was injured
is not generally credited, while message re-
ceived from Mr.. May that he was 'sll right" does
not indicate wounds CT q serious character. All
parties implicated in the affair seem likely, from
present indications, to pay dearly for their folly

The Fruttiess Joint Committee.

The report of the Democratic members of
the Committee on the Privileges, Powers and
Duties of the House Of Representatives, made
on Wednesday, is undoubtedly the determined
plan of the party In both branches Of the Ma
tional Legislature. They claim that "the
President of the Senate has only power to open
the votes and exercise such functions as the
two Houses may clothe him with; that the
powers of the two Houses are coordinate;
that the two Houses must concur, in order
that vote msy be counted" OF course this
scheme was considered in both the Democratic
caucuses of the House and Senate and adopted
as the one on which the party is to fight the
pending conflict. This report is simply true
prophecy of the result of The joint committee
That is, considering the fact that this Demo
cratic scheme will be strenuously combatted
by the Republican members of the committee,
1t is natural to prophecy that the efforts of the
committe will be In vain. Hereafter, then, all
consideration Of the question of the electoral
count should not be Influenced In the least by
the fact that this joint committee has the
matter under consideration, for its work will be
fruitless. What, then, is the outlook now
The situation is the same as it was twenty-five
years ago, before the days of the twenty
second joint rule In those days the two
Houses of Congress never presumed to count
the votes or direct the President of the Senate
to count them. He, acting in 8 ministerial
capacity, counted the votes and declared the
result, as We believe he was authorised by the
Constitution to do. This is the only mode
which carries out the idea Of those who
framed the Constitution, and 1t Is the idea
which best corresponds with its language; be-
sides, it il strongly supported by many pre-
cedents. The Democratic idea Of dual Re-
turning Board, made up of two distinct boards,
possessing equal authority, would be can
csrous sore in our political system. When
our forefatbers declared, through the Consti-
tuition, that the electoral certificates shall BE-
opened and the votes counted in the presence
of the Senate and House Of Representatives,
they never dreamed of the foolish anomaly of
q double headed Returning Board. There IL
no warrant for the existence of such Q thing
In the fundamental law of the land, and the
Democratic party will be convinced Of this be-
fore they will fight for the other way.
