TIE COMPROMISE.
Public sentiment is divided

Public sertiment is divided on the
plan adopted by the Congressional
committee to settle the Presidential
question. On the 22d inst, Senator
Morton in his place in the Senate, made
s great speech in opposition to the
measure according to the dispatches,
> one of the grand efforts of his life,
claiming tue entire attention ofthe Sen
: ale and tile crowded galleries. Sena-
Tor Blaine, who was sworn in and took
his seat on the same day, is also report
ed Is he opposed to the compromise.
The ground assumed by some who pro-
s. pose voting for it is, that it will prevent
war and give peace TO the country
9 Ofcourse We are among those who are
DESTROYS of peace; but if. as urged by
some Of Our abtest men, the measure is
unconstitutional, we aresopposei to its
adoption. We are among those who
believe that the Constitution fully pro-
:. sides tor counting the votes and declar-
ing who has been elected President and
~ Vice President, and we want those pro.
visions carried out. And we are
among those who believe that Hayes
and Wheeler have been fairly and
: sqnarely elected, and that the inaugura-
= ton of Mr.. Hayes will cause no war.

Before and during the rebellion there
we're a number of individuals scattered
throughout the Northern States, and,
- it IS said, they were even to be found in
s0regon, who were known under the

who devoted large portion of their
time to cursing the Union and
Union men, and, while protesting the
greatest love for the Southern Confed-
- eracy, utterly refused, on account OF
~ their "wive's relations doubtless, to
go down to that South they SO dearly
loved and take up arms in her defense.
OF course, as these copperhead ''patri-

4 TYPE OF TIE. DEMOCR 1TR
s'REF0RuEH.''

Wade Hampton, who has declared
himself Governor of South Carolina, is
claimed by Democratic journals to be
true Southern gentleman-a chivalrous,
honorable man. To show what the
Democratic inkslingers mean by a 'pure
Democratic Reformer, and chivalrous
high-toned gentleman" the Portland
Bee gives little sketch or biography
of the Hampton family: Wade Hanp-
ton, the grandfather of the present
would-be Governor OF South Caro-
lima, with George Walker, Zachariah
Cox and Matthew J. lister, bribed
the Legislature of Georgia for $780,
600 to grant them 35,000,000 acres of
land, c 5pprising what is now large
part of the States of Alabama and Mis-
sissippi-then known as the Yazoo
grant. This was the first instance of a
wholesale bribery Of Legislature on
the continent and the disgrace and
death that followed such corruption on
the part of the members is too we'll
known 10 require any further history OF
the base transaction. The next Legis-
lature Immediately repeated the acts OF
the former and annnled the grant post
.tacto. Wade Hampton, the grand
father, then procured his election to
Congress, when he and his partners in
the Yazoo grant put III claim against
the Government for S5,000,O0O, and
attempted to lobby it through and OBJ
tain payment from the Government.
This insolent attempt to rob the Treas
ury called forth the Indignation and
scorn of the House of Representatives
| upon the conspirators, and it was then
that John Randolph, pointing his long,
lean finger at Wade Hampton, said
ssMr. Speaker, I hope to see the day
when a Yazoo claimant and villain
Will be Synonymous terms" The pres
ent Wade Hampton, the grandson, fol-
lowing in the footsteps of his ancestors,
enjoyed what remained of their ill-got-
ten gains, until, by fraudulent mort.
cages upon his property and false cred.
It's obtained from his friends, voluntary
bankruptcy offered him the means o.
extricating bimselt from his criminal f.
pancial embarrassment and of accumu
lating large fortune. AS shown by
the records of the u. S. District court
of Mississippi, his Indebtedness was 81,
! O85. .0S1, and his assets S142, ,443. Nor
was this all; for when his creditors
came forward to claim this small per
centare. Mrs. Hampton puts in he
claim which Hampton had put dow
in the list of creditors, for $3.50 900, a
her marriage portion, which she claimed
and received by prior right, thus GOV
ering more than all tie assets, leaving
the real creditors nothing. Bankrupt
ey is no crime of itself, if unavoidabll
and honestly brougt on and legally

action stamp it with fraud and crimin
ality. And this is the man who is sci
up as the soul of honor and the par ex
cellence of Southern chivalry, and whc
is trying TO steal the Governorship o
South Carolina from Governor Cham

A New York telegram of the 23d
says: a petition to Congress in rela-

electoral count is in circulation at the
Union League Club and elsewhere in
the city. The petition makes snbstan-
tally the following suggestions /:
First, that the constitutionality of the
proposed act should be formally passed
upon by the Supreme Court second,
that the judges Of the Supreme Court
should not be members of the commits
sion if prior adjudication by the courts
could not be explained third, that the
part assigned to the five judges COM
ports neither with the diguity and i'm
partially of the court, nor with the
rights of the people nor with the prin-
ciples and safety OF the country or its
institutions. The petitioners ask that
Congress viii not involve the judges oil
the Supreme Court in any manner with
the pending contest until the court
shall he called to act on the question ii
its judicial capacity.

ENGL ISL PRECEDENTS AGAINST
GROVER.

In attempting to excuse his course in
the Cronin matter, Grover said he re-
lied on English precedentS, Senator
Morton showed most conclusiveiy that
the preponderance of English precedeats
were against Grover. And now comes
that great Journal, the London Times,
and says that Growers position as to
the English law is false one that ac-
cording to the electoral law of England,
if the voters are unaware of the disqual-
ifcation of candidate, and that candi-
date receives a majority of the votes
cast, then the election is void so far as
his seat is concerned. The more this
attempted electoral steal of Growers is
stirred up, the more apparent becomes
his utter mendacity in the matter.
