COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VoTE.-lt is
understood that The Senate and House com.
mltees on counting the electoral vote have
agree d upon plan which will no doubt be
accepted by both Houses of Congress and be
satisfactory TO the people The plan is as
follows:
The joint session shall be held as hereto
fore, in the House of Representatives, with
the Presid, nj of the Senate as presiding of
ficer. If objections are made TO the vote of
State, the matter shall be referred to tri-
bunal, composed of five members from the
Ito use, five from the Senate and five Justices
OF the Supreme Court. This tribunal is to
have power TO take testimony and to inyes-
tigale fucts, and their decision is TO lie final,
unless bot! Houses vote 10 reject it,
The ti will provide for the selection of
the Supreme Court Judges by districts,
which will bring in Justices Clifford. Miller,
Field ami Strong, who will choose fifth
Two of the Judges are Democrats and two
Republicans, and it is therefore probable that
Judge Davis, who is an independent, will be
chosen as the fifth.
Senator Morton, it is understood, is op.
posed 10 the plan, which is strong argu-
ment in its favor. He will support nothing
that has the appearance Of fairness, but in.
sisls upon the President of the Senate open
ing the certificates and declaring the result
Senators 8uyard, Thurman and Ransom will

the Democratic officials have made n formal
demand upon the Republicans for the sur

them legal proceedings will be commenced
to compel the Republicans to vacale. AS the

are on the side of the people of South Caro-.

"If the people allow themselves to be

We do not believe in submission la such an

an insult to Congress, before its committees

No surprise is expressed at the position

Louisiana.

The independent press will be obliged to
take back some of the fine things it has late
y said in praise OF President Grants strict
neutrality between the Two claimants to the
Goyernorship Of Louisiana. The President
has taken several occasions to declare that MS
committees of Congress have the matters
pertaining to the late election in Louisiana
under consideration, it would be presump-
'uous i'll him to interfere, SO long as both
parties confine themselves TO peaceful meas
ures
Encouraged by the neutrality Of President
Grant, the people of Louisiana through their
repre- seniatives and under the sanction
Of the legal tribunals of the State, in
augurated Governor Nichols, the choic,
oflhc majority, as lawfully expressed through
the balot.EoX. Governor Nichols ut once
proceeded To perform the duties Of his office
being supported and sustained by the courts
and the people. The usurper Packard WAS
soon left with hut small body of retalners,
and taking refuge in the Stale House, foIt-
fed himself there under the projection of
colored soldiers. In the meantime the revo.
luton of the people, calm and bloodess, was
in progress, and day or Two more would
have seen Packard obliged to abandon his
fraudulent claims.
On Sunday President Grant, forg' tful of
his sell-imposed neutrality, issued an order 10
Gen. Augur, commanding the federal troops
at New Orleans, that if there should be any
Necessity fer recognizing either claimant it
must be Packard, and expressing his belief
in tie validity of Packards claims
Re-assrred by this order the pretender

Louisiana, and yet dares not take one step
towards asserting his right TO the place, un
leas protected by United States soldiers, is
