The Proposed Mas. Meeting.

Mayor Ely disapproyes of the proposed
mass meeting to give expression to the SEN
timents of the people Of New York on the
question of counting the electoral vote:
first, because he does not think such meet
ing necessary; and, next, because he fears it
might obstruct an amicable settlement of the
difficulty. The movement was commenced
before the satisfactory conclusion of the
joint Congressional committee had been
reached. If both the Senate and
House of Representatives accept the plan
will be no occasion for the proposed demon
stration. But if either the republican Sem
ate or the democratic House should en-
deavor to defeat the settlement or to throw
distractions in its way in the shape of mis-
chievous amendments the people cannot
too promptly or too emphatically condemn
the act. In such a case and for such pur-
pose public meetings all over the country,
and especially in the great CONNER
cial metropolis, might be desirable.
But to make them effective they
should be held, not under the auspices of
the Democratic National Committee or of
any other political organization, but at the
call of prominent citizens of all parties. 1t
is to be hoped that both the Senate and the
House will SO significantly foreshadow their
approval of the joint committees plan of
settlement that no such demonstrations will
be needed, and we agree with the Mayor
that at this time any purely political mass
meeting here or elsewhere would be ill-ad-
viaed
The New York herald., 1877-01-19
Senatorial HOnOrs.

The elections thus far decided send to the
Senate of the United States for the new
terms Governor A. Ii. Garland, from Ar
kansas; James G. Blaine, from Maine; ox-
Governor Alvin Saunders, from Nebraska,
and Ferry and Window, the present SEN
ators from Michigan and Minnesota. Mr..
Blaine is the most valuable acquisition
on the republican side, so far as legis-
lative ability and partisan zeal are con-
cerned, whilo the democrats gain point
in securing the services Of Governor Gar
land. In Massachusetts, and Illinois no re-
suit has yet been reached. In the former
State Mr.. Hoar, who commenced with
ninety-three votes, has run up to one hun
dred and four, lacking still thirty-four to
elect. while Mr. Boutwell,, commencing
with ninety EIGHT votes, has run down to
eighty The chances therefore favor Mr.
Hoar's success. In Illinois Logan leads,
and lacks only three of an election, which
ne expects to gain from the so-called
.independents. AS the independents"
were elected in opposition to Logan and
the principles he represents their action
draws forth unenviable comment, and they
certainly occupy a suspicious position, con-
sidering that probably not one of them
could have been elected as an avowcd sup
porter of Logan for United States Senator.

Another Freezing Week.

No official action regarding car-heating
can now be expected until next Thursday,
by which time midwinter will have passed.
This delay suits the car companies exactly,
and promises plenty of business to doctors
and gravediggers; but the fact remains that
society does not exist for the sole benefit of
these three classes. The request for an
opinion from the Board of Health will, un-
less persistently followed up, be made the
ventilation of the peculiar sanitary ideas
which entitle the street car autocrats to the
highest places on the roll of great American
humorists All this delay may be perfectly
legal, but it is at the same time utterly in
excusable, nonsensical and dangerous. No
sane and unprejudiced. person can doubt
for a moment that the only real objection to
warming the cars has it's source in the ava
rice of the companies upon whom the ex-
pcnse would fall. The case is that of the
many against the few and the suffering
against the heartless, and all such cases
demand instant attention. All talk about
possible danger to health by the use Of
warmed cars is utter nonsense while the
real dangers of the present system are so
apparent to every one who rides over the
rails in our city streets. Further delibera-
ton is uncalled for; prompt action is de-
manded by the facts which every one but
car owners admit; the Aldermanic commit
tee has ample power, and the whole body
of the people will refuse to accept any ex-
cuse for further delay.

steadying tho Price or silver.

II, as seems probable, silver is to form
considerable portion of our metallic cur
rency after the resumption of specie pay
mcnts, large coinage of silver will be neces-
sary within the ensuing two years, and it
seems important that its mint value and its
market value should not materially differ.
It's market value has undergone such violent
fluctuations within the last ten months
as to supply the opponents of silver money
with their strongest argument. NJ. Allard,
the Director OF the Belgian Royal Mint Tor
n long period. has addressed letter to DR..
Linderman, in which he sketches an in
genous plan for rendering the market
value of silver more uniform and keeping
it always very nearly at par with gold.
We direct attention to his letter,
which is first published in our columns
to-day. His leading idea is to establish
the coinage of American dollars and sub
sidiary coins in Europe. The consequence,
us he thinks, would be to furnish steady
market for silver in that quarter of the
world since it could never tall below
the price paid Tor it at the mint
where 1t is received Tor coinage,
whereas at present great quantity is
poured into the market whenever there is a
temporary demand, and a glut Immediately
ensucs, which deprcsses the price Of silver
far below its average value. The Royal
Mint at Brussels is ready to change silver
into American coins at cheaper rate than il
costs at our own mints and M. Allards prop.
osition deserves the examination of Dr. Lin.

possible that they should not prefer law and
justice to partisan wrong from which they,
at least, have absolutely nothing to gain.
The adoption of this plan will get the
country safely out of the turmoil in which
it has been forced to live since last June,
and especially since November, and which
has depressed all industry and enormously
increased poverty and pauperism everywhere.
1t gives the best assurance Of a just settle
all apprehensions of stormy 4th of March
and of the vague dangers which every man
feels may easily become but too real.
1t provides for settlement which
all honest citizens of whatever party
would consider final, and immediate and
cheerful acquiescence in which will be
imperatively demanded by public opinion.
What more can be asked? Men may shout
and asseverate 'Hayes is elected" "Tlldcn
is elected" to the end of time but mere
assertion amounts to nothing and convinces
no one of the opposite belief Almost any
way Of getting a decision would have been
better than continued uncertainty and tur-
moil. Here is method all the elements OF
which are constitutional and promise
an honest and legal result. II this
plan should be rejected by Congress no other
can be contrived, for there is not time. Tie
country would then be left to a fate we do not
like to contemplate-to wrangling and fu-
rious Congress +; to the secret intrigues and
bolder strokes of demagogues to an in
creasing excitement among the people, all
ending probably in violence and perhaps in
civil war, or at the best in lasting discon-
tent on one side or the other. Is that de-
sirable prospect?

Questions OF Privilege.

The refusal of the two Chambers to answer
questions put to them by the Investigating
Committee is stated to have excited much
dissatisfaction among republicans. Mr.. W..
f.. Chandler states that while in Florida he
became counsel for Governor Stearns and
for the republican electors and candidates
for Congress, and that any information he
possesses came to him in the shape of privi-
legged communications between attorney and
clients. Mr.. Chandler went to Florida as
one of number of gentlemen selected by
the President to see that there was q fair
and honest count of the electoral votes
actually cast. Was lie in position to act
as counsel to the republican electors? II
he really accepted that position was not
the act of itself condemnation of the Presi-
dents commissioned reflection on the mo-
tives that prompted it's appointment and on
the work it was expected to do
Was Mr.. Chandler justified in send
ing out before the world protcsta-
ton after protestation of the success
of the republicans in Florida, and of the
unassailable honesty of the count, in the

is said that man on whom the eruption OF
smallpox had already appeared lay three
nights and two days helpless in cow yard,
and that when he came out on the morning
of the third day and was washed every pus-
tule had disappeared. One of the most GER
tain facts in nature is the period required
for the evolution of smallpox pustule, and
it cannot be less than eight days, SO that
those recorded as already apparent on this
patient had not disappeared in sixty hours.

Unjust Attacks.

It ought not to impair the satisfaction felt
by the members of the joint committee at
the happy result of their responsible labors
to discover that the extreme men of both
parties are dissatisfied with their proposed
method of counting the electoral vote, since
it is the best evidence that could be offered
of the fairness and impartiality of their
plan. Itappears from our special dispatches
that the wrath of inconsiderate repub-
licans is mainly directed toward Senator
Conkling, who is credited mt Columbus with
being 'the leading spirit in bringing about
this result" This is high compliment to
Mr. Conkling, who is thus distinguished in
his own party above statesmen of ripper
wears and longer experience. He may well
feel gratifed at the distinction accorded
him, especially rs he can afford to smile ut
attempts to impeach his motives while he
acts in harmony with such republicans as
Senators Edmunds and Frelinghuysen and
congressman McCrary, Hoar and Willard.
Mr.. Conkling was not appointed on the
Joint committee until the retirement of
Mr.. Logan, and was only one OF seven
republican members five of whom voted
with him in favor of the proposed settle
mcnt. The earnest republicanism of his
five associates and of Mr.. Ferry, from whom
he received his appointment, cannot be
questioned; hence these malicious attacks
upon him are rs absurd MS they are unjust.
Indeed, all the members Of tho committee
who unite in the report may we'll rest salts
fed with the conclusion Of the fair men of
both parties in Washington, who say, 'If
we believe we have q case we cannot refuse
to submit it to such tribunal as the one
proposed by the joint committee"

SmaIlpox Cures.

1t is not uncommon for people to discover
specific remedies that will infallibly cure
smallpox; and as this disease has been ex-

Turkey Rejects tho Uitimatum.

But for the doubt that has recently been
thrown upon the possible conduct of Rus
sa imm edinte war in Europe would now
seem imminent, since Turkey is in the way
to prepare that condition OF facts which it
was at cne time declared would compel the
movement Of the Russian army across the
Danube. The decision of the grand coun-
Gil against the final demand Of the
governments represented in the Con-
preliminary to the rejection OF that
demand; for in the sudden assumption of
the character of constitutional sovereign
the Sultan puts upon the shoulders of ad-
visory bodies the responsibility for all those
acts that were before constructively his own,
and it would not be constitutional for him
to adopt in an emergency like the present
course contrary to the one advised. AS this
is a constitutional era in Constantinople
this reasoning is, doubtless, to be ap-
piled to the judgment Of the grand coun-
Gil, though no such body is known
to the Turkish constitution recently pro-
mulgated. All that Europe has proposed
as Wise anu eXpeuIeuI III tAo pIeSeuI clI-
cumstances is rejected as contrary to the
dignity, integrity and independence of the
Ottoman Empire" Turkey, therefore, as
sumes an attitude of defiance. She is with
regard to the other nations, her neigh
bors, in the position of man who
keeps dangerous combustibles on his
premises, and. being demonstrated with
by the occupants of adjoining houses,
declares that it is impertinent for them to
pretend to dictate what he shall keep in his
house, and contrary to his dignity to listen
to their propositions for making the COM
bustibles less dangerous Meantime they
live in hourly peril of explosions more or
less ruinous. Evidently their only recourse
is to the police. Will an analogous step be
taken with regard to the Sultan? There
seems little doubt of this, and yet it
is difficult to see how Europe can
admit that it was prepared to intervene in
the Ottoman affairs until forced by the cir
cumstances, or that, being forced by the cir
cumstances, it can relinquish the case without
having secured remedy. Russia is the

doubt as to her intentions will be solved in
