Opinions Of the ELECTORAL BIZ.
NEw YORK, Jan. %.

III New YORK, Jan. ~.
The Tribune's special says Grant ex-
pressed himself. to-day, earnestly IL
favor of the passage OF the electoral
bill He said be considered it AS pat
motto measure --asan equitable propo-
sition for the, adjustment of the diff
Guilty. and that M one wontd welcome
the peaceful settlement Of the Presi-
Dental question more than he. He
s i'd he had noticed the OPPOSITE. to
the bill aneng the extreme partisans
on both sides, but it did not appear to
sufficiently organized to defeat the BILL
He thinks the business Interests Of the
country would give sueb support to the
proposition, and would so speedily
make that support f,lt, from all Sec
TONS of the land, that it would be i'm
possible for those who now declare
their hostility 10 the scheme to vote
against it. lie siguified his intention
of cheerfully signing che bill, if the
opportunity was afforded him.
The Tribune's Washington CORE
spondent says of the electoral bill:
Hayes has not expressed his vIews of
the measure to any member of the
Ohio delegation, bat the fact Of their
relations to him being closer than those
of other nItmhers would undoubtedly
give to- Ioitsd Opposition on their
part great weight and significance.

THE ELECTORAE BILE.

Eastern dispatches are mainly de-
voted to the opinions of prominent
men on the electoral bill. Gonserva-
five men of both parties favor the
measure as the best that has yet been
suggested to settle the points in con-
troversy. Several leading Democrats
who believe that TIlden has been ie-
gally elected, and.that in the event. of
tide fbiInre Of the joint Convention Of
both Houses of Congress to declare the
fact, the election should 60 20 the
House, oppose the bill for the reason
that it may result in subverting the
will of the majority The bill is also
opposed by many leading Republicans,
who insist that the President of the
Senate has the exclusive right TO open
and count the electoral vote and de
clare VIII sever pleases him elected.
Happily, however, the conservative
men of both parties look with favor 90
the bill, and will support it as the
best temporary expedient devised for
bridging over difflnnky, which is in-
iurious to the business interests of the
country, and prolongs- agitation which
might result in war. 1t is plainly evil
dent that without the passages OF abiil
or the adoption Of a joint rule to gov
ern the counting Of ttie. vote, tiie Sen
ate and House of Representatives. in
Joint convention, cannot agree ueon
disputed points. Ore will insist on
maintaining the President of the SEN
ate as retaining board, Nih full
power to count in and threw our votes
at pleasure; and the other will assert
its right to voice and vots in deter
mining the result. This might lead TO
unpleasant Consequences, such as the
election of Hayes by the Senate and
Tilden by the House. and the essab-
lishment of two Federal Govennments
on the principle adopted in South Car
DINA and louisiana AS the proposed
electoral bill, if carried into EFFECT, will
prevent the possibility of dual eog-
eminent. and as the fifteen persons
composing the tribunal wiil be, sworn
to decide all questions submitted to
them according to law and the facts.
it should, under the circumstances,
meet the approval Of conservative men
of all parties

Speaking of the election in the three

a gentleman who called to-day that as
to South Carolina and Florida. he did
not believe that any fair minded man
could now properly deny that bnth of
them went for Hayes. AS to Louisiana.
he spoke with much less degree of
certainty; in fact, he left upon the
mind Of the visitor an impression that
he seriously doubted whether the &C.

justified, or whether the vote of the
