LEGISLATURE.

Trenton, N. J., January 22.--The
Legislature will meet this evening at
8 o'clock. After the adjournment
of both houses a caucus will be held
IN the assembly room for the elect
ion of q. 8. senator tomorrow. The
senate and assembly on Wednesday
at noon will go into ajoint meeting.
There are now only two prominent
democratic candidates-Hon. John
Mcpherson and Judge Ashabet
Greene.
Gov. Biddle Is said to have stated
that he would not be a candidate.
The friends of both candidates are
confident of success, but McPher.
son is looked upon as3 the strongest
man. A good deal of engineering
is being done to gain q majority In
the caucus in favor of one or the
other of the candidates. There
is mucn feeling now expressed
by outside parties for Hon. J. P.
Stockton, but his name is mentioned
to-day among politicians. Nothing
is known yet by outsiders who the
Republicans intend to name as their
candidate, but it is thought that
VIM. Walter Phelps will be the
man. He il expected here tonight.

the morning hour.
The President, in conversation
this morning with a friend, said
that the compromise bill to settle
the Presidential question was, in
his opinion, "a fer 8s could be made
to both sides. He thought it would
pass Congress by a decided majority,
in which case he would undoubted-
ly sign it. The very populsr man.
mel in which it had been received
by the people of both political
parties was to his mind a sure indi-
cation that they were determined
to have a peaceful settlement of the
presidential question. The fact
that this bill was popular with the
masses and also received the sup
port of eminent men of both parties
would no doubt relieve in a great
measure the anxiety under which
the country had labored since the
7th Of November. The president
referred to a conversation he had
held some weeks since on this SUBJ
ject, wherein he expressed the opin-
ion that no trouble would grow out
OF the Presidential question, but. on
the contrary, be had an abiding
faith that it would be settled peace
fully, and he said he was strength
ened in that opinion by the belief
by the belief that the compromise
bill would pass Congress before the
end OF the present month.

Custer City, January 11.-Since
my last letter was written the snow
has fallen to a depth of about eigh-
teen inches. 1t was a fearful storm,
and two parties from Custer were
belated and came near perishing.
They lost their way and wandered
around on the prairie between Point
of Rocks and the east end of town
until after three o'clock in the
morning, finally coming out at the
slaughter house, and finding fuel
and provisions at the same time.
The horses would not face the storm
at all, and left the track about four
miles snnth of Custer. One of them
fell into a. prospect hole, throwing
the rider over his head and hurting
HIM badly.

TEE ELECTORAL QUESTION
The Herald editorilly discusses at
length the question of the constitu.
tIonality OF the proposed election
tribunal. 1t argues to show that
the plan is constitutional I; that
Congress has the right to appoint
such a commission by virtue of its
broad and explicit constitutional au-
thority, and that no matter where
the power to count votes is lodged,
Congress has the right to regulate
that power.
The Herald also says it Is propos-
ed to call a meeting of the bar asso-
citation of this city to give expression
to the opinion of Its members on the
constitutionslity of the electoral bill
now before Congress,

panies IN relation 10 the bill now
before Congress- asking FOR al emil
grant head-tax of S1.50 from the

present decided to oppose the bill
on the ground that it would be un-
constitutional. 1t was also decided
that each company shall commence
suit against the commissioners of
emigration for the recovery of the
amount already paid for head.taxes
since the time they have been COM
PEELED to pay it.
The Tribune publishes a long let
ter from z. w. etoughton, in which
he opposes the electoral bill, and
suggests a better way ofsettling the
difficulty. He proposes that the
President of the Senate be allowed
to count the votes, and if HAYES

company had organized a large force
of men in the oil regions for the
purpose of DESTROYING the wires and
poles of the Merchants National
telegraph company, which were be-
ing operated by the Western Union
under a lease acquired by the recent

rather than toallow these important
connections to fall in the hands of
their opponents, and proposed
taking advantage of the adjourn

judges on Saturday, and complete
the work Of destruction before an
injunction could be had to restrain
them. In this, however, they were
baffied, as the Atlantic d Pacific Of
