AN HISTORIC WORK.

II is known to TIE HERALD readers,
that the precedent for the Com
promise bill was found in an act passed
by the Senate in 1900, to meet the
conflict between Burr and Jefferson.
The original bill having only passed the
Senate and not the House was not
preserved among the archives, but it
happened that Senator Thomas A. Bay
ard of Delaware remembered that in
the literature of his grandlathers life,
the Aword newspaper, published at
Philadelphia, contained the original bill
But one copy Of the dTom was to lee
had, and that was the file copy in the
Library Of Congress The AWoo was
still Jcilersonian organ, edited by
Franklin Bache, n grandson of Ben
iamin Franklin, who had been educated
in France and had imbibcd the most
radical Democratic sentiments. 1t was
the AwOra which congratulated the
country on the retirement of Washing
ton from the presidency, saying "Lord
let now Thy servant depart in peace
for mine eyes have seen thy glory
The most mischievous character to the
| liberties OF this country can no longer
exercise his dangerous influence
This bill WAS reported February l4th,
or Valentines Day, in the first year OF
tue century, by n committee of five,
one of whom was Mr. Pinclsncy, of
South Carolina, 1t provided that the
Senate and House should choose by
ballot six members each, who should
sit with the Chief Justice of the United
States, or the next senior judge, and de-
eide all disputes relating to the eloc-
ton. The highest candidates, or any
person of kin to them were not eligible.
This committee had power to send for
persons, papers and records, to punish
contempts, and to report to the Senate
and House finally and conclusivcly.
As amended the bill passed the Senate
by l6 TO II. No settlement was arrived
at, but this old bill proved to be suni-
ciont precedent to return to Congress
after repose of seventy six years, and
to harmoni1e the House and Senate in
plan Of counting the vote The work
of the lNte compromise committee of
which Senator Bayard vas n member, is
likely To possess an historic interest
and the unearthing of the old bill Of
1900 by the Delaware Senator will be
referred to AS u curious coincidence
when the nation shall step forth from
her present peril, redeemed and, we
trust, purified.
