The Press ON the Merits OF the Com.
promise Measure.
The press seems to be- good deal
divided In opinion on the merits OF
the compromise measure reported by
the conference committee upon cleo
toral votes. In u general way the most
decided opposition to it may be said
to come from the Republican papers.
The New York Times and Tribune,
Republican, take very positive ground
against it rs unconstitutional, IL Re-
publican surrender, etc.
The Herald, Independent, warmly
indOrses it, aud ia confident that pa
triotic men in all parts of the country
will be disposed to seek the merits ana
pass over the defects, II defects 1t
should prove to have.
The World, Democratic, does not
give an unqualified Endorsement of
the plan, but thinks the country will
hail with delight any action ON the
part of Congress which goes to im-
prove the frightful condition Of the
country.
The New York Express (Democratic)
thinks the plan will prove II peaceful
solution of the greatest political evil
that has ever threatened the country,
apart from civil war.
The New York Evening Post (Inde.
pendent) says the plan will give great
satisfaction to the country and that
the wisest course is for the Senate and
House of Representatives to adopt IL
as it comes from tae committee with
out delay.
The Philadelphia Telegraph Qnde-
pendenD thinks the plan is one that
will give entire satisfaction to all fair
minded men of all parties.
The Boston Herald Independently
says the country wants peace, and the
sooner the plan OF this committee is
adopted the better.
The Springfield Republican Qnde-
pendent) thinks the plan will COM
mani the support of the country, aud
even more 30 If it proves that bitter
Republican partisan like Morton OPP
poses 1t, or a Democrat like Springer
Endorses it.
The Baltimore papers, without divi-
sion Of party, gives q moderate In
dorsement to the plan.
In Washington the party papers oil
favor it, the Republican and Chronicle
on the Republican side and the
Union on the Democratic side.
The New York Nation, Independent,
favors it in u well considered article.
In Boston paper is being numer-
ously signed by the leading men of
both parties urging upon the Massachu-
sets delegation In Congress the adop-
ton Of the proposed compromise for
the settlement Of the Presidential
question.
Immense Internal Revenue Fra uds I'm
the southern States.
The Cabinet to-day had under con-
sideration an official statement from
the Commissioners of Internal Revenue,
saying that there was an immense
increase Of frauds upon the revenue by
the Illicit distillery of spirits and great
difficulty existed In enforcing the
revenue laws In several of
the Southern States, particularly
in Northern Alabama, Georgia and
North Carolina. Great frauds in the
manufacture of tobacco, in North
Carolina, are also reported. In order
to assist the revenue officers to enforce
the laws, troops are requested, and
