Fkim an article in the IJaltimore .! u rit an on the 'Trc: '.tions of tbe Compromise Electoral Bill", we take tbe following lucid and comprehen sive analysis of its stipulations: Tbe provisions of the Compromise ! bill in which tbe people of tbe United I States are more particularly inter ! ested are found in tbe second section, 1 which enacts "that if more than one return, or paper purporting to be return, from a State shall have been received by tbe President of tbe Sen- k! ntirnortinrr to be the certificates 1 i of Electoral votes given at the last ! nrecedin? election for President and Vice President in such State, all such returns and papers shall thereupon be submitted to tbe judg ment apd decision aa to which is tbe true and lawful Electoral vote of such State" to a commission consti tuted in the manner therein prescribe ed. Tbe commission is to consist of fiiteen members namely, five Sena tors, five members of the House of Representatives, and five Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States four of the latter be ing designated by tbe districts in which they preside, and these four are to select the fifth. The bill provides that each HouFe during its session on next Tuesday (January 30 ) shall elect by a ra j ivc vote the five members of tbe j Commission who are to represent each j body. No provision is made for the 1 dividing tbe Commission between tbo two political parties, hut we pre- . siinie tbat the majority in each House te ill take care that tbere is an equal number of Republicans and Demo 1 craljc Senators and three Democrats j JU(j tw0 Republicans from tbe House, au( each party should be allowed to mRke its own nominations.

Tbe Justice "loogeat in commission" is to be President et tribunal, and thi honor according I JJ 'oUes on Judge Clifford, who nag appointed by President Buchan an in Hi. Jut Clifford is a vete ran Democrat, who cot voted for Tilden, but for all the other &e$i4 cratic candidates for President that bave beep in the Geld since the days of (ieneral Jackson. Judge Field is ajw a Democrat Judge Strong and Judge Myier are Republicans, and are suppossd u lisve voted for Hayes and Wbeelor. The jejertioa of Judge Davis to tbe United Stale uatby the Legislature of Illinois disqualifies bim from acting as a meajber of the Commission. Tbe three Justices f.-otu whom the fifth member of the '.bunal is to be selected areSwayne, Rradljqd Hunt, all of whom are supposed to fca,7e voted for Hayes and Wheeler. Tbe&qi$e will prob ablf fall on Judge Bradley.

CONFEDRATE X RoAPS, Wicii is ix the State tv Kex- tvckt, January 20, 1877. ) I most bartily endorse tbe plan for leavin the PresidensLel question to a Jint Commisbn to be made up from the Senit and House, and the Su preme Court, tbe members uv tbe lat ter to be determined by lot. This thing uv iojectin tbe elemect of chance into a game wher yoor oppo nent bez tbe ded wood on yoo, is pleasant and very kind. By doin ibis we are playio on even terms, the Republikins furnisbun all tbe stakes. A gambler which woodn't take such chances, is not worthy uv tbe name. By this plan the Presidency is made a matter uv chance. All I ask now is a slight change in tbe method. Under tbe Jint Committee's plan, ef we are lucky enuff to git the odd member of tbe Soopreme Court, Til den and Reform goes in, and I git my Post OHis. I am tru. -tin my forces to tbe blind goddis. Ef it is to )e made a matter uv ch nce, wat is tbe yoose uv goin tbro all these mosbuns? Wat is the yoose uv worrying 60 many men? Two kin decide it ez well ez a dozen, and in stid u.- bevin so many I beg to make the follerin sejestions: 1. That tbe Dimocrisy select a strikly representative Dimocrat, and the Republikins a strikly representa tive Republikin, with two umpires and one bottle holder, wich she! be me. 2. Tbat them be set down, and play seveu-up, yooker, or tbe more muskoler game of freeze-out, to de termin whether Tilden tndreform,or Hays and oppression shed he Presi dent for the next four yeers. 3. The two representative men may delermin tor themselves tbe game and its condisbens. Ef freeze out, tbey may make tbe amount ez large or ez small ez they choose; ef any otter game they may make it tbe best two in three, tbe best three in five, or the best four in seven, or the first fifty-one in a hundred, cr any way they choose, so that tbey git thro by the 4th of March I should not want the struggle to last lunger than tbat, for the bisnez interests uv tbe Corners is sufferin. My bill At Bascom's is runnio up enormusly, and ez I owe all tbe citicens, trade is blocked till I get tbe Postoffi.4, so ez to pay sutbin, aud put some money into cirklelasben. 1 must bev tbat Postoffis or perish, or else bankrupt Bascoru. 4. The winner to name tbe Presi dent and tbe people to acquiess with out a murmur. I would sejest ez the representa tive Republikin for this purpose, Mr. Frelinhuysen, uv New Jersey. For the representative Dimmocrat tber ain't no need for my namin bim at all. Tbe entire Dimocrisy, io one voice wood exclaim, "John Morris sey." Ef it wuz seven-up, for sboor, I should urge Issaker Uavitt, whose skill in turnin Jack from tbe bottom at the criiiklc pi tit when bo'-b ides bez six and he hez tbe deel, is well known at tbe Corners; but cz the oth er party sbood bev some voice iu de cidia what game is to ba played it is safer to her Morrisaey. He hez bin at tbe bed uv the Dimoc-risy uv Noo York so long thatall games is alike to bim, and with bim the Dimocrisy may rest in perfect sekoority.

By Article 4, sec 4 of tte Con atitutio- "the United States shall guaran'ee toevery State in this Union a republican form of government, a id on the application of the legis lature, or of the executive when the legislature cannot be convened, against domestic violence.

The companies stationed in other States bave been employed to secure tbe better execu tion of tbe laws of tbe United Sta es, and to preserve tbe peace of the Unit ed States after election bad been bad. aod where violence was apprehended by which returns from counties and precijets might be destroyed. Troops were ordered to the State of Florida and those already in Louisiana were ordered to points in greatest danger of violence. I have not employed troops on slight occasion, nor in any casa where it has not been necessary to the enforcement of tbe laws of tbe United States. In this I hava brpn guided by the Constitution and taws which bave been enacted and preced ents which have been formed under it. It has been necessary to employ troops occasionally to overcome re sistascc to tbe internal revenue laws from tbe time of the resistance to tbe collection of tbe whisky ta in Penn sylvania under Washington to tbe present time. In 1S54, when it wa apprehended that resistance would be mada in Boston to tbe seizure and re turn to bis master of a fugitive slav, the troops there stationed were em ployed to enforce tbe master's right under tbe Constitution, and the troops stationed at New l ork were ordered to be ia readiness to go to Boston if it should prove to be necessary.
