The COMPROMISE RilJ.

They speak of it now as the Plan, with a
big P.
The adoption of the Plan will be especially
valuable as cork for the Democratic mouth
1t is observed that some of the most violent
objectors to the bill are edging round in res
ponse to the voice of public opinion.
The Massachusetts delegation in Congress
is counted solid for the bill with the exception
of Banks.
1t is reassuring of the wisdom of the Plan
that the party organs at Washington on both
sides denounce it. 1t is pretty safe for the
country to go for whatever Murtagh and
Montgomery Blair oppose.
Secretary Fish is heartily in favor of the
settlement, as was to be expected.
The fact that Mr.. Hoar was elected to the
Senate after it was known that he had signed
the Electoral Vote Committees report, it is
thought will strengthen his influence as an
advocate of the bill. He will be its foremost
advocate in the House, and will be supported
by Mr.. Lamar, whom many regard as the
ablest Democratic member of the House.
The principal argument iu favor of the
bill is that, in the presence of excited passions
and em5it' ared partisanship, some measure
adapted to conciliate and unite moderate and
fair men of all parties is necessary to avert
the dangers which might attend disputed
count.
The report will bring out another shower
of pamphlets from the constitutional ex-
Founders.
The only plan of counting which will be
universally popular, is double barreled one,
which will secure the election of both Hayes
and Tilden.
Montgomery Blair is stirring up the Demo-
cratic bad blood by intimating, in his new
organ at Washington, hat Senators Thur
man and Bayard may have more willingly
acquiesced in the plan for counting the votes
from the tact that they were unsuccessful as
pirants for the st. Louis nomination.
The plan from which Mr.. Morton now dis
sents "abollshes the constitutions in Just the
same way and just to the same extent that
Mr. Morton's bill, which he has been almost
frantically urging upon Congress and the
country for the last three years, does.
Louis j. Jennings, formerly editor of the
New York Times, telegraphed from London
Friday: "The news received here to-day of
the proposed Congressional compromise
measure for settling the Presidential question
has had the effect of streDgthning all classes
of American securities"
The New York Herald regards the Senate
as much ADLER body than the House, and it
is convinced that the discussion and passage
of the bill will sweep away all the obstacles
to its easy success in the House, because the
arguments OF Senators will be so powerful
and SO well put that public sentiment will be

In the course of an interesting lecture on
"The Analogy of Sound and Light" recently
delivered by Professor Barrett, F. G. S., at
the London Institution, he remarked:
"There was striking analogy between music
and color; the rate of vibration in sounds
gave rise to the gamut, and in colors the rate
OF vibration in like manner gave rise to the
notes forming the spectrum. The coIors of
the spectrum showed sequence analogous
to the sequence of pitch in the gamut.
Newton thought that there might be cor
respondence between the length of the spec
trum colors and the vibrations of musical
sounds, but the true relationship was between
the vibrating pitch of color and the vibrating
pitch of sound. The extreme limits of the
spectrum embraced an octave in music,
Calling red 100, the proportionate vibration
OF orange was 80, that of yellow 81, that of
green 70, that OF blue 50, that of indigo GA,
that of violet go, that of ultra violet SO, and
and an obscure or extreme violet so. The
vibration of c in music corresponded to that
of red in color, and taking G as 100, the vibra-
tion of d was SO, that of E so, that Of F IA.
that of G 81, that of A go, that of B So, and
that of c so. The vibration of unison, rem
dered visible. produced on screen the figure
of circle, that of an octave formed figure
resembling s, and combinations of figures
formed by the visible reflection of intervals
OF fourth, sixth, &C., were proportionate
y complicated. By means of tuning-forks
and sensitive flames the Professor proved the
correctness of his theory and it was note
worthy, says an observer, that the figure of
dscord was as perplexing to the eye as the
sound was Objectionable to the ear.
The Portland daily press., 1877-01-24

THE Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser writes: The opponents of
the compromise bill are working almost des-
perately, but without hope of success. Mr..
Morton has made careful canvass of the
Senate, and, it is said, finds only seventeen
votes against the bill. A strong effort has
been made to capture Mr.. Blaine, through
ingalls, and others, but he refuses to commit
himself Both Massachusetts, senators NAV
be counted for the bill. Montgomery Blair
and Judge Black are industriously lobbying
against the measure in the house. Knott is
quite bitter. He has prepared sarcastic
amendment which he intends to offer, if be
has chance, providing that whenever the
Supreme Court lacks backbone enough to do
any duty imposed upon it by the Constitu-
tion, it may call in the assistance of the COM
mittee of the two houses of Congress.

AN important witness appeared before the
House committee on the South Carolina
election, Monday, in the person of W. B.
Nash, the colored Republican State Senator
and Presidential elector, who, it has been
alleged. was approached with a bribe by the
Democrats. He testified that Colonel Childs
president of the South Carolina National
Bank, told him, (Nash) that he could get
$4,000 if he would advocate the admission OF
the contesting Democratic senators from
Edgefeld, Abbeville, and Laurens, in the
general assembly, Nash being in favor of ad
mitting the two former, but not the latter.
He further testified that at the same inter
view Colonel Chids told him he could get
$4,000 if he would agree to vote for Tilden
and Hendricks on the meeting OF the presi-
dental electors, and $1,000 more when the
act YVES consummated.

AMONG the deaths of prominent persons
which have recently occurred are those of
Daniel M. Christie, one of the most widely
known lawyers in New Hampshire, who was
a Presidential Elector on the Lincoln ticket
in 1864; of Francois Buloz, who founded the
Revue des Dear Mondes. forty-six years ago,
and made il one of the most complete sum-
maries OF universal history ever published; of
Vice-Admiral James A. Paynter, of the Brit
ish Navy, one OF the oldest and most gallant
officers of the service; of Lord Neaves, the
last survivor OF the set who, under Prof
Wilson's leadership, made Blackwood so
famous; of Charles Enslin, who was widely
known and respected in st. Louis as the
Cashier of the Bank of Commerce in that
city; and of William E. Warren, of New
York, the most famous accountant in the
