The Compromise Bill Signed.

President Grant signed the compro.
mise bill for counting the electoral
vote, at 10 a. m. on the Goth, and sent
a special message to the Senate an
nouncing the fact. The President in
his message says he believes the bill
gives assurance that the result of the
election will be accepted without re-
sistance from supporters of disappoint-
ed candidates and that the highest of.
ficer shall not hold his place with a
questioned bill of right. The message
also alludes to the imminent peril the
country has escaped through the adop.
tion of the act. He further declares
that in no instance had the President
of the Senate exercised the power of
deciding disputed election returns.
In such a case as this, where the re.
suit is involved in doubt, it is the duty
of the law making power to provide in
advance, a lawful mode of settling the
difficulty, as to which should receive or
hold the Office. No party or citizen
loving their country can sacrifice too
much in preserving it. True liberty
and progress can only exist through
cheerful obedience to constitutional
law. The bill is calculated to meet
the present question. The country
needs and requires peace and harmony
between all sections.

A Live Corpse.

The Omaha papers tell horrible
story to the effect that corpse encased in a
metallic coffin, which was being shipped from
California, for interment at some eastern point,
come to life while on theroad. The express
messenger affirmed that he heard sounds pro-
ceeding from the coffin, and was laughed at by
the train men, but his convictions were so
strong, that, upon arriving at convenient
point the case was opened, and there were
signs that convinced him that the man, al
though dead then, had been alive since plac-
ed in the coffin. The Omaha Herald states
that when the coffin arrived at it's destination
and was opened, unmistakable proofs OF the
terrible truth were discovered. The hands
were clinched, the lips bitten, and the mouth
filed with bloody froth. The man had been
alive and it was his moaning that had been
heard by the express messenger.
