THE COMPROMISE BILL.

President Grant signed the electoral COM
promise bill yesterday morning, and sent it
10 Congress, together with his reasons for
50 doing. Whatever may be the opinion Of
any man regarding this bill, as to whether
it is the best mode Of settling the mooted
question relating TO the presidency or not
no one can for a moment doubt that Gen
Grant acted in a conscientious manner, and
that his reason for approving the measure
was because he considered in the only avail
able way CT getting the country out OF the
presen: difficulty. the President has,
throughout his eight years of service, done
what be saw was his duty, without fear or
favor, and regardless Of the abuse and OBJ
lcguy which has been heaped up upon him
10y political opponents, and when
he retires from the chair which
lie has filed go ably, acceptabIy and Impair
tally, the prayers and good wishes Of forty
five millions Of American citizens and the
admiration Of the world, will follow him to
his retirement The vituperation Of the
present day VIII soon be forgotten, and long
after the memories Of the fierce strifes and
petty FquabbIes OF this period will have
passed into merited oblivion, the name of
our soldier President viii shine brighter
and fairer than ever before, the brightest
star in the American galaxy Of fame.

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY.

TOPEKA, January 27.-The lobby was
someshat diminished in numbers tonight,
but there is, il possible, more activity than
usual. Everybody says that after a whole
weeks voting without attaining any result
or developing anything that seems to look
TOWARDS A SETTLEMENT
of the contest, some of the candid ates
ought to be satisfied that they can't succeed
and should be willing 10 get out of the way.
That is the feeling tonight on the outside,
but each particular candidate wants to
hold on and LET the Others back out.
THE FEIENDs
OF some of them show plainly that their
tenaci;y is considerably diminished. A
prominent O.born man told me tonight
that his candidate
COULD NOT WIN,
and he thought his ability to hold his men
together any longer was doubtful. He is
fearful that the men will break at the next
ballot. There is being work going on
among
SOME OF THE CANDIDATES
tonight, which looks very much like con-
solidation Of forces, but l recognize no
opinion as to where the lightning will
strike. The members are generally
GETTING TIRED.
The thing is growing monotonous, and if
there is not something fixed up tonight or
tomorrow, you may expect to see some
BAD BRAKING
Of lines on Monday, though possibly not
till Tuesday. Another attempt is being
made to have a caucus and
DRIP THE LOWEST
one each ballot, till choice is made.
Some Of the stronger candidates have agreed
to 1t, but the weaker ones all object There
is no immediate prospect of an election,
and the balloting may continue all mex,
week. The Leavenworlh members voted
to-day just as on the last ballot yesterday

that he will grow rapidly. The friends OF
the other candidates are considerably con-
cerned because OF the strength Tom has
shown, and it is
NOT IMPROBABLE
that a consolidation of the forces of some
of tine other candidates will be made to-
morrow against him. Ii he gains as he ex-
poets to, tomorrow, there will be
SOME RADICAL CHANGES
in the situation next day, and two or three
of the smaller candidates will probably
drop out of sight
PoMERoY's INFLUENCE
is perceptible in the dead lock. The fact
that one member of the House voted for
him and that the vote was cheered by other
memb ers, shows that the
FEELING AGAINST CORRUPTION
is not strong enough to raise all the mem
bers OF the convention above suspicion, and
it is strongly limited that some of them are
holding out in the hope of
BEING PAID
for their votes. There is not much doubt
tina, many of them counsel with Pomeroy,
and that fact of itself is
VERY SUSPICIOUS.

he can to protract the contest.

HOUSE.
WAsHING1oN. ID. C. Jam

WASHINGTON, d. C., January "a
The consideration was resumed Of the
resolutions reported by the committee on
privileges. and was addressed BY Mr..
McDili, Of Iowa. in favor of the resolutions
submitted BY the minority Of the commit
tee.
Mr.. MCDILL said If the proposition of
the majority was true that no vote could be
counted without the consent Of the House,
1t would give . practical veto to the power
over every election by the people. He
thought the President Of the Senate alone
had the power to count the votes, but Who
ever counted them the duty involved was
purely ministerisl.
He vas glad to know, however, that the
concurrent committee of both Houses had
agreed upon plan which he hoped to see
adopted, and to become Law that would
govern the counting Of the electoral vote.
Mr. BRIGHT, the next speaker, spoke Of
the inpossibiiiiy Of exsggerating the i'm
portance Of the question. The eyes of the
nation were concentrated on Congress and
iis action, and the question would be
monsatous for either good or evil.

AIOVT GOING WEST.

\ letter from San Francisco, published
lev days ago IN Philadelphia paper,
warns people out of employment and out Of
money a~ainst going 70 the Pacific coas. in

who 90 IN seach OF easy work and big pay,
discover, alter they have spent all their
means, that in the West, az in the Last
there If not much money made except by
hard work and strict economy. All en-
ployments on the coast are crowded, and
many poor families find themselves in
condition OF restitution, with nothing to DO
and no prospect ahead of them. California,
10 many people, appears like land OF milk
and honey, where riches can be gathered
without toll. Interested agents OF transpor-
t.rion companies, by their glowing repres-
citations, induce, yearly, thousands Of we'll
t0-do mechanics and farmers to give up
their farms and shops, sell of at a sacrifice
their possessions, and, with crest anticipa-
lions Of speedy success, turn their backs
upon their homes and friends only to dis
c5ver, when too late, that they have been
deceived.
Better to stay where one is known than
10 risk il among strangers under such cir
camstancez. "Hard time-" is no local COM
plant. The effects Of depression are felt
everywhere, and il is the worst Of ali pos
si5le times to 60 IRON one community to an
other, when all are overlooked with labor

approaching, business is reviving, and the

. has ever been 80, that alter depression in
ihe Industrial interests Of the country hes
been bridged over, the revival Of trade calls

on the ground ready for work always find
employment al once.
1t il wise, therefore, if ii be possible to
live al all, 10 remain in ones own country.
UaIess there Is an offer OF work and a good
prospect Of ones lettering himself, it will

The truth Of this was demonstrated DUR
