The Talk of "OOmpromise." |"

1t would, perhaps. be asking too much
of them, but 1t would certainly be salts
factory to the country if the people who
are constantly urging a compromise"
regarding the Presidency would explain
what they mean. 1t is so extremely easy
to use high-sounding words, with an air
of impartiality and even magnanimity
about them, that a great many persons
are indulging in that practice now, with
out knowing or trying to know what they
are talking about. The Republicans,
says one, should be " concilIatory"; they
should be ready to "make concessions.
This sounds well, and it costs nothing.
If any Republican should deny it, he
would be accused of being narrow and
bitter and extreme. But il q request
were made to define this language, and
anyone using it were called upon to say
distinctly how the Republicans should
show their conciliatOry disposition, and
precisely what concessions they should
make, it would be found either that no
answer could be made, or else that the
answer practically amounts to this:
That Mr.. Tilden should have the Presi.
dency to which he has not been elected.

often, that II is not unfair to infer that
those who now talk of compromise do so
only in the interest of Mr.. Tilden, and
do not expect anything to come Of 1t ex-
oept Mr.. Tilden's unqualified success.
As matter Of fact, we are not aware
of anything which the responsible lead
ers and representatives Of the Republic
an party were fairly required to do to
prove their desire for a Just settlement
Of the Presidential dispute that they
have failed to do. There was only one
question actually involved from the
first, and that was which candidate had
majority of the electors chosen ac-
cording to the laws of the several States.
That Mr.. Hayes has majority of the
electors no one now seriously disputes.
1t is objected, however, that in Louis
lana, and possibly in Florida, the Repub.
lican electors were not legally chosen.
Each branch Of Congress is now investi-
eating that subject. We do not know
that any man Of sense objects to the
Senato's doing SO. II could not very
well do otherwise. The House hurried

could not well consent TO take the result

ises by its own instrumentalities, and It
is doing so. Meanwhile a Republican
in tho House proposed a committee
from each branch Of Congress to con.
slider an agreement as to the mode of
counting the votes, and such commit
tees are now in session. What more

augurated foroibly II need be-" Such
uttorances are not common among Re-
publicans. The most that can be said
against them is that they are unneces-
sary. They are certainly not unnatural,
in view of the systematic vaporing which
some prominent Democrats think II be-
coming to keep up.
AS the Republicans have, up to the
present time, done everything that was
required of them by law or justice, so
they will continue to do. They have en-
tered with sincerity upon an attempt to
come to an agreement with the Demo
Gratis as to the part to be taken by the
respective houses in the counting of the
vote. There is no doubt that IL such an
agreement is arrived at tho whole party
will legally abide by it whatever its con-
sequences may be. But it need not be
expected that, If no agreement is reached,
the Republicans in the Senate will in.
contincntly surrender all their rights,
and ask meekly to be led under the
yoke by the Democrats. The Consti.
tuition Confides to them certain du-
ties. What Is the extent of each they
will inquire with candor and conclude
with fairness and moderation. But,
having come to a conclusion, they will
not hesitate to do whatever they believe

lar responsibility. They are not, as the
members of the House are, the lingering
representatives of phase of popular
feeling which has already passed away.
They are not, as the Executive is, mere
instrument for carrying out the law as
! interpreted to them by others. They
are the chosen representatives of the
| States, members of body which does
not lose its continuity, and which, by itl
tenure, by its numbers, and by its init.
mate relations with all departments OF
the Government, is enabled and required
to act as a conservative force in our ma.
tional life. 1t is peculiarly the business
of the Senate to see that the precautions
which the Constitution has provided
against any confusion in the administra
ton, any interruption of the operation
of the Government, shall not fail o.
their purpose. And this is not matter
for trade and dicker with pretcnders to the
Presidency, under however specious q
guise it may be presented. 1t is mat.

~ The one plain, practical, common
sense thing for the Democratic managers
to do is to produce one man, from any
where in the Republic, who will show
that he was prevented from voting for
the candidate of his choice by any United
States officer or soldier. Until this shall
be done the rant of the Pendletons and
all other probulgent blatherskites must
be set down as sheer goose gabble
There is not man in this country with
wit enough to count ten who does not
know that so far as the troops have had
any influence whatever over elections,
the influence has resulted in protecting
voters from intimidation and outrage,
and securing the rights of all citizens,
without distinction of party, to cast their
votes according to their own choice. 1t
is fact known to every intelligent
reader that the troops in the South at
the recent elections were as often called
upon to protect Democrats as Republic
ans-notably 80 in South Carolina, Even
the feeble old grandmother of Presi-
dents, shocked into decorOus and re-
spectacle convulsions by the presence of
Lieutenant and twenty men on the
sacred soil, does not claim that any Vir-
ginian was frightened from the polls by
this porteAtous exhibition of the " Fed
eral" power in the "Old Dominion"
What then is meant by all this rant and
fustian about Federal bayonets"Y Are
we to understand that the Democracy
object to having men vote as they please
