Nkw York, January 3,-Vice Presi.
dent Wheeler has been interviewed. Mr.
Wheeler ppurns and rebukeN all recen!
talk about compromise. He declares,
emphatically, that there is nothing Il
compromise, that the Presidency cannot
and must not be the subject OF dicker OF
barter between men Of both parties, and
that the great issue OF the day shall and
must only be settled by the strict carry.
Ing out oi the letter and spirit ofthe Con
stitution.
Mr.. Wheeler by the Herald interviewer
is made to speak thus 1t is my firm BELIEF
that Congress can never be constituted
a National Canvassing Board. Congress
cannot go behind the returns beyond the
mere question Of regularity Of certif.
Gates; understand me clearly, for it is a
point on which | would not like 10 be
misunderstood. Congress cannot inyesti.
gate whether Louisiana has gone for Til.
den or Hayes, the action Of theReturn.
ing Board on this point has been final
and conclusive in Louisiana. It is my
honest belief that il there had been a
free and fair vote unobstructed by
intimidation or iraud, the Republicans
would have carried the State by about
$1,000 in the FIVE bulldoEed parishes.
The very registration shows that these
parishes belong to the Republicans. Mr..
Wheeler reiterated that he would acorn
10 accept however by chicanery or intri.
que, such Us 4 socalled compromise would
necessarily imply, and heartily eulogized
Governor Hayes, Of whose successful ad.
ninistration he felt convinced. lie clos
ed the interview with these words: ! do
not believe that this dispute will be
wholly an unmixed evil. l Ibelieve it is
going to teach the people the machinery
ofthe Presidential election, which they
have never understood before, and that
it will be the means Of averting such
troubles and some strife in the future.

It would have been more manly for
the three brutes, or the three pious
insultors of God, to have tarred and
feathered themselves or their brother
males who brought this poor woman
to ruin. When the good Christ Jesus
was on earth it is not recorded Of Him
that He went about with loafers car
rying a bucket of tar with which to
bedaub unfortunates who hunger OF
stomach had driven them to use their
physical tenement for bread.
Very right. It would have been
much better to have tarred and feath-
cred the men who visited this woman.
But the world has not yet outgrown
the sentiment of the middle ages,
that woman is the enemy and tempt
ress of man, a sort of she-satan.
When Adam put the blame of the
apple upon Eve he would probably
have tarred and feathered her if he
had had the material handy.
