whole country is behind him.

tackle the tariG again. No more does anybody
else.
john Kelly's amazement at Tilden's vgor seems

XLVIth Congress when it let's itself loose.

UU1T THEY OFFER TO COMPROMISE.
| The Democratic majority in Congress has
undertaken q revolutionary scheme to subvert
the Conslitution, and being met by the SOLID
| resistance Of the united ard steadas, Repub-
! lican party it begins 10 talk about COM
promise-in other words, offers 10 torego or
postpone a part of the details OF It's plan, pro
vided we assent to the unconstitutional and
dlsorganning principle which makes the
execution of the plan possible. We purpose
to do nothing of the kind. There is a greater
question ct stake than the preservation of the
election laws. The Democratic conspiracy
attacks The very basis of the American system
of LEGISLATION, and if it sh0uld succeed n
mortal blow would be struck at the Con-
stItution.
The revolutionsts are acting upon The pre-
tcnce that majority in Congress has the
power and the night to pass or repeal any law
| it pleases. That pretence is totally unfoInded.
The faihers of the United States Government
were at pains to guard against the reckless,
partisan and unstable legislation certain to
| follow such an exercise Of the authority of
numbers, by laying down the fundamental
rule that all acts should require for their
validity the assent either. of tWO-thirds Of
each House or of the President and ma
iority. In no case is a mere majority alone
to be accounted sufficient. This is the con-
stitutional safeguard which the Democracy
have undertaken to abolish. They threaten
to stop the Government if do not
stand out of the way and allow them
to work their will. If they should carry their
point the character Of the United States Con-
sti,ution would be radically changed. All
checks upon rash law-making would be re-
moved. The Executive would be deprived OF
one of his most important functions, "an Gu-
"thority of the highest Importance" as Chief
Justice Story remarks, to preserve the
community against the effects of faction,
" prccipitancv, unconstitutional legislation,
Z" and temporary cxcitements as well rs politi-
zeal hostility" The rights Of the minority in
Congress, which the Constitution guards with
so much care, would be violently destroyed.
And when the majority has once swept over
the barriers, it would stop at nothing.
The Republican party, therefore, can yield
nothing in this struggle. There Is 10 place
for compromise. We insist that the DemOC-
racy shall make no laws and repeal no laws
| except in accordance with constitutional re-
UiremcDts. Upon this ground we take our
| stand; and if a revolutionary faction refuse
! TO permit the Government to perform its
| usual duties, upon them be the responsibility.

Five or six weeks ago, when the ong-sU6crng
holders of Tennessee securities took steps 10 en-
force their claims against the railroads Of the State
which had chiefly benefited by the money obtained
from the original sale Of tho bonds, The TRIBUNE
pr.dic,ed that the officers Of the roads would

TIE 0rTL00K IN GGE4T BRITAIN

TIE comments of the London papers upon
the financial situation there manifest strong
feeling Of uucasiHess. Ii is rather significant
that, even in the most cautious articles on tins
subject the chief ground of h0petunc>s men
toned Is the fact that the country has every
reason to expect great disaster, aud that dis
aSters rarely come when they arc expected
and when TIE commercial community is pre-
pared for them. The PdH MoH Gazette Of the
DIST observes, for example, that the aspect
presented during the past week in Lombard
Street has been such as 10 remind one OF occa-
sions preceding great disasters in the past
that institutions of high standing are dis
trusted; that trade is notoriously distressed (;
that the Eastern trade in particular has been
IN collapse for years but that it should be
borne in mind that disasters that do happen
are rarely ever fOresecn.
In connection with these gloomy remarks.
It is well to remember that an important por-
