rnE ELECTORAL COMPROMISE.

NEW lORk, jar. d,
TIE Tn uue's Washington special tays
The CUnitrtbcc committee ON the electoral
que ton will first Ggr,e each on some plan,
thtn hold n joint session. The republicans
propose to submit the cleo ortl question 10
an out,idc tribunal. l. is also reported
that q disposition Exists among republican
members to abandon the doctrine that the
president Of the sena'e has tie right to
coutt the votes, provided the democrats
will abqndon the position that The twenty
second Joint rule is in force.
MORT PRESIDENTIAL REGULATIONS.
The rribune'o Washington special soys
he rtpub leans oppose the proposed new
ei, c;iou. and the demo Gratis favor it. In
case Of a new election it is reported thtt
Hayes may he chosen president Of tie tcn-
a'c. 1t Is said by somc that nothing in the
con tuition requires the senate to elect one
Of It's members as prcs'ding officer, unless
p'c3edent has the force Of law.
THE SOUTHERN INVESTIGATIONS.
The Worlds Washington eIec'al says of
tue southern invest at.ng committees
S ,ylor says South Carolina gave a ms nj
~ for Haycs, Independent Of irregularities.
The correction Of these would give Tiidtn
the state as the maj oriiy of the committee
will demonstrate, while the minority vii
report otherwise. The Louisiana commit
tee is divided. The prospect is that The
Flo ia committee will give the state to
Tilden without division.
AFFAIRS IL LOUISIANA.
The ucrald's New OIL ans sp. cil, taed
yesterday, says The repub.i us are en-
rIlling militia daily, Gen. Longstrcet to lie
il command. An executive orGcr has been
issued on the state treasury t. pay no moe
money gu. Of the Interest, school and gen
eral funds, it being held for defensive pur-
poses. The Limitation of tie time Of the
Ic. urning board expires to-day. No returns
have been promulgated for siudges, clerks
Of c1ults or district attorney =. These arc
therefore without commissions but will rc-
ceiye them from General. n c1ol,s after his
Inauguration.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEAD-IoCK.
The Ilerald's Columbia special says the
existing deadlock a. the capitoi i, extend
| ing over the state. In several counties the
contests between the Chamberlain and
Hampton appointccs TO Offices are vigor-
ously sustained b. their respective psrti,s.
Some %rCpablic5us refuse to recognize
Chamberlain.
The Times Columbia special says; The
htariDg Of Tie habca5 corpus case before
Hon. IL, b. Carpenter, which tries the va
lidity Of a pardon by Chamlc,lain, was
coIclldcl or Saturday. The ruling of the
court indicates the intention Of deciding
only the question who is de facto g)vernor.
This is Il disappointment 10 the democrats.
There is ne doubt am.ng rcpublica that
the deoi-lon will tie favorable to Caan ber-
llin rs DC facto governor, if not de ju!c.
HEWITT AND SPEAK.
The Worlds Washington special says :
Several republicans and one or two demo-
cratic members take the singular view tnat
in case of the failure of the joint CONVEX
ton or the hoGse. to elect a president, the
president pro tom of the senate becomes
president of the United States for the full
term of four years. Among leading law
yers this view is regarded as utterly unten-
able. 81 believe that Tilden and Hen
bricks are elected and will be inlugurated, u
sai Hewitt yesterday. "BIt in case of
contest, should civil war thr, aten, and
on y in case civil war is threatened, |
should prefer a civil to a military %coLtest.
| would rather aprcll to ballots than to
bullels.' Mr. Lamar said he deemed a new
election preferable 10 the Inauguration of
two uTp ,llautE
