sented by the joint committee on count
ing the electoral vote. The Chronicle
pronounces it unconstitutional law
designed to override the constitution; Il
criminal trifling with the intelligence of
the nation.
The National Republican says the pro-
posed compromise or agreement of the
Joint committee of the Senate and House
is in violation Of the constitution and
laws, and abrogative of especially created
and delegated authority by express pro-
vision of the constitution to the several
states.
The Union. Democratic organ. says !:
The plan proposed submits the fact of
Tilden's election and the right of the
House to elect, to mixed commission of
both Houses. 1t is tatamount to declar-
ing that the election in November was a
draw, and ordering a new election by tif-
teen men instead of by the people" The
Union cites from the speeches of Mr.
Thurman, the Democratic Senator from
Ohio, in proof of the statement that the
proposed commission is unconstitutional.
The Chicago Tribune thinks that it is
better than civil war; better than the
Mexican plan of duplicate governments !;
better than prolongation of the strife,
and acceptable, not only as determining
the Presidential election, but as settling
the threatened violence in Louisiana and
South Carolina.
The Inter-Ocean does not like the plan.
1t claims that it is nothing more nor less
than settling the Presidential question
by lot. Under the agreement seven
members of the commission will be Re-
publicans and seven Democrats, with
two Democratic and two Republican
members of the Supreme Court to choose
a fifth, upon whose decision the entire
question may finally rest. If they have
any trouble in deciding, and they doubt
less will have. how else can decision be
arrived at than by some description of
lot. The Inter-Ocean says the plan is I'M
worthy the eminent statesmen who
framed it. 1t thinks the present plan
looks altogether too much like the offer
of the 10y to his playmate to flip cop
per to see which should have hobby al
ready belonging TO the latter, and it feels
that it will be generally unsatisfactory
to the Republicans, who feel that they
have honestly won in the late contest.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.


While so far as we can ascertain there
is 10 immediate prospect of ChebOygan
securing railroad, we hope that no back
ward step will be taken by the Legisla-
'ture now i'm session. which will make the
remote prospect still more remote. As
is we'll known. under the present condi-
ton of affairs the prospects of railroad
to this place, depend largely upon the
completion of the Marquette and Macki-
nav railroad, to all the completion of
which the state two years ago made a
large land grant. Owing to the stringen-
cy of the times, thus far no company has
been found who would undertake The
construction of the road. Under the pro-
visions of,the act, two years time having
expired, the land will revert back to the
state unless the present Legislature takes
some action. The grant can be extended
for longer term, and we think the Leg
islature will see the wisdom of passing
law extending the time for the COM
mencement of the road at least two years.
The road is an important one. The two
sections of the state should be bound to-
gether by railroad. The immense trade
of the northern peninsular now goes to
Chicago, when it should come to this
part of the state Supplies to the amount
OF about S15,OOO,OOO are annually taken
to that part of thessstate. If Michigan
furnishes much of this, it must be after
paying tribute to Chicago. Not only is
the northern part of the state TO be bene-
flied by this road, but every part of
Michigan. There should not be vote
in the Legislature against extending the
time of this railroad land grant. The
land will be of much more benefit to the
state, used in the construction of rail-
road than in any other way. 1t should
be retained for that purpose by the state
until such time as the land will make
the road certainty. The friends of this
project are glad that Mr.. Macarthur, of
this district. is upon the railroad commit
tee. He will spare no effort to secure
this result. Representative Turner, of
Lansing, is also upon the committee and
as he is largely interested in this section
of the state and fully acquainted with its
wants, We know that Mr.. Macarthur will
find faithful ally in him.

THERE have been harder times in Can
ada for the past two years than in the
United States. In 1876 one man ont of
every thirty-two in business in Canada
failed; IN the United States one in sixty
nine. They are pretty blue over there
and badly discouraged. Whether this is
owing to Grants administration, or
whether the financial troubles in the
United States are owing to Lord Duffer-
ms government, may be left for discus
sion TO the next series of Democratic
meetings.
