TIE JorSr COMMITTEES. Is re-
ported on good authority, that the
Senate and House Joint COMMITTEES
have at last agreed upon plan OF
counting the electoral vote in Can
,rss. which plan is said to be for a
committee of Eve members from each
branch Of Congress, with five OF the
senior Judges Of the Supreme Court
to act, and to whom are left the coun'
ting and admitting of such electors as
are shown 10 have BEEN fairly elected.
Only in case the committees of the
two Houses fail TO agree on any point,
are the Judges to decide. All OF the
Joint Committee we're agreed ON this
plan except Sitting Bull Morton, the
Radical Indiana Senator, who will
.never agree to any thing fair, or to
any thing aaording even the shadow
of a chance for Tilden to be declared
President. This proposition VIII bt
laid before the entire Senate and
House, for ratification or rejection
Ofcourse hot debates will ensue, mod
itications and amendments offered Il
the plan, and whether or not, it, Oh
any similar procedure will be FINAL.
adopted, is one Of those things which
no fellow can find out. Our notion Is
that the Committees have come TO
conclusion rather prematurely, us the,
should have awaited the final report
of the Southern COMMITTEES. How
ever, they are wiser and better posted
ahan We are. and We hope for good re
suits from their honest and seemingly
earnest cndeavors to serve the whol'
country to the best OF their ability.

OS Sunday last, the ice that ha,
gorged the Ohio and its tributaries for
about month, commenced breaking
up. causing fearful destruction to
boats and other property along thos,
streams. Millions OF dollars worth
have been destroyed, hundreds of coal
boats have been sunk, and the proba'

Ohio, will suffer severe coal famine.
Seven steamers were sunk, and num-

pronounced a fraud and sham by

their patient submission is a new usur-
patton with bayouets to protect it on
the plea Of preservation Of the peace,
and an assurance from the president
Of the United States that he intends
to support the new sham and fraud.
OF course, If the people Of this coun

A SUBMERGED CITY.-The Lausanne Ga
zette says that two divers, who were seek
ing the valse of an American traveller that
had sunk TO tho bottom Of Lake Geneva on
the upsetting Of a boat near the village Of
Saint Prex, not only recovered that Article,
but also found superb Eltuscin vase.
Having reported that they found The bot
tom of The lake at that point broken and
uneven, aud that there were evident signs
Of an ancient house once inhabited by man,
the municipal authorities of Saint Prex in
stituted an investigation. They covered
the surface Of the lake at the locality In
question with oil, the effect Of which'is, as
is well known, TO render the water that 1t
overspreads remarkably transparent. When
the oil had extended over considerable
breadth of water II was seen that the bot
tom of the lake was occupied by town in
good state OF preservation, the founda-
ton of which goes back several centuries
before the Christian era. Whole squares
or islets of houses were discovered, their
roof covered with thick coat Of glutinous
mud. Through their Shiny envelope the
houses had the appearance of being con-
slrucled Of brick, with the famous vermil-
lion cement which the Cells, the Cimbri,
and the early Gauls made use of, aud which
is harder than the Roman cement even.
The Vaudois Cantonal Council is about to
make appropriation for the construction of
a great ielty that will surround the subma-
rine city aud facilitate its being drained
out and connected with the shore. Many
interesting discoveries are expected when
this ancient lacrustine town is thor oughly
explored, and the contents Of its houses are
made accessible.

TURKEYS NOBLE ATTITUDE.-Slys the
Springfield Union: at would indicate an
extraordinary binding power in religious
prejudice If the fact OF the difference be-
tween the Mohsmmedau and Christian
faiths, were permitted at this time TO close
our eyes 10 the grandeur of the attitude Of
the Turkish people. There is no other ma
ton of the world in which SO large a pro-
portion of the people could be relied on TO
offer themselves voluntarily to military
service, as is now volunteering in Turkey.
Every able bodied Mussulman has come
or is coming TO the front to do and die for
native land and ancestral faith. The Rus
sian army is raised by stern CONSUMPTION
law enforced by the bayonet. Russian re-
cruits are held in the bonds Of an iron dis
ciplne. But Turkey has too weak an in
ternal administration 10 raise levies on
large scale by force. She relies on the pa
riotism of the people. The standard is
raised and they flock joyously TO ii, leaying
in many districts of the empire nothing but
women and children at home. The univer-
sal testimony Of the correspondents con-
corning these volunteers, is TO their uncom-
planning demeanor, their clear comprehen-
sion of the issue of life or death for Turkey,
and their eagtrness to meet the enemy.
How they fight when they do meet him,
the Russians know by this time. The Rus
sian army is a mere machine, which the
Car would WELD for any pupose, good or
bad, but the Sultan could have raised his
present army on no other plea and for no
Al. 4 r.. 4
and religion in desperate strait. Ifa ma
ton defending itself be finer moral spec
tacle than a nation attacking neighbor, if
nation fighting 10 defend a religion de-
serves more sympathy than nation fight
ing TO propagate one, if a nation defending
its borders is more edlfying sight than a
nation seeking conquesls, then Turkey
surely in the present war has the more val
id title 10 the respect the world.
