PROBABILITY OF ITS ADOPTION.
Washington Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The plan for the settlement of the
Presidential complication is still the
absorbing theme of interest. The mem
bers have had time to look into its FRO
visions more carefully, and some who
imagined it TO be a very just aud fair
measure are n little appreh ensive that it
does net qnite I'll the bill. There are n
number who are heartily sick IF the
suspense eugendeTed by the claims o
the candidates who jump Mt the conclu-
sion that, like Mercul 10 5 wound, ut viii
| do Others there are, however. who
make a study Of the plan, and who
| presented some very pointed objections
! TO It.
/ A prominent objection is that while
/ the Grand Icibunal is not vested with
/ absolute power to determine the result
| it IN ight as we'll be. The bill, while it
| pr Divides hat the conclusions of the Iri-
! buual can be negatiyed by the concur
| rent vote of hOth houses, lca7cs the
! same affirmed, unless such Joint concur
| rencO sets it aside. 1t ia clear that. 0w-
/ ing to the political complexion Of the
/ two Houses, no matter how the Tribunal
! shall decide, the decision will be final,
! for If it decides for Tilden the House
/ will not unite with the Senate to over
| throw it; and If for Hayea, the Senate
! will DO nothing to an'agon.ze the co..
! clusion. After a very careful canvass, l
| am If opiniHn that the bill will pass.
Already the pressure Of the business iu-
terest is being brought to bear The
/ Commercial classes will couStruo its ac-
cepVance by both Houses to be a d-c!ar
| alton that the menace of civil war Ia dis
PEELED, and the sequence will be that
trade, which has heen Paralyzed I'd since
the day Of the casting Of the ballot will
be revived IN all its diversified channels.
kilograms are pouring IN from all sec
tions Of the country urging the Republi-
cans to accept the bill One was received
to-day from the Board of Trade in De-
trOit stating that its members, without
regard to any party afiiation, had united
in a resolution indoTsIng the comprO-
mise. When Payne, of Ohio, received
| intelligence of the receipt of the tele.
gram he walked over to Springars desk
| and said: The light Is breaking in the
/ West. The labors of the committee are
tC be crowned with success, It can be
set down tnat, while The bill will be
passed, it will not be its merits alone
which will insure it support. The mat
( ter mas resolved lt6elt TO ABOUT this Do
sition: The bill will be agreed to only a.
matter of expediency AMI many Of
those who will vote for it will protest
against it as a matter Of principle on the
constitution ality of the plan Morton
will lead the opposition to she bill upon
constitutional grounds. He holds that
Congress alone, under the Constitution
has tbs right to open and declare the
vote, and that 1t cannot transfer thai
power TO any other tribunal; that the
bill wilt give the tribunal power to &C
behind the returns, and this Is a power
which Congress itself does not pos
\ se-s.
Eimunds will bring the bill up for
discussion in the Senate on Monday. l
viii be the policy of the House not t,
take action until the Senate disposes O
it. If 1t passes the Senate in its Simon
qure shape, efforts will be made 70 adj
; one or two amend Hents in tie House
One will be offered prohibiting the Tri
} bunal from taking oral testimony, anl
another authorizing the Commission {,
examine and pass upon the testimUn1
taken by the Southern committees.
The most determined opposition which
= the bill WiIl meet will come from the cl
tremists Of the two parties The NOR,
moderate men are inclined to give thei
r sanction. lac Democrats OF the Eas
accept it because they aPpre bend that
