Fkim an article in the IJaltimore

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

bave beep in the Geld since the days

ajw a Democrat Judge Strong and
Judge Myier are Republicans, and

The bill fixes no date at which tbe

on the disputed returns, although it
contemplates the finishing up of tbe
count before the 4tb of March. It is
quite plain tbat no extended investi

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.
This way uv settlio tbe matter is
more simple and ekally ConUubeul
with the other, and it wood make
things exeitio for a while. Spoze it
wuz agreed to bev seven-up, aud the
Uet two in three. Think uv these re

Similar resolutions were offered in
the House and referred to tbe com-;

The debate upon tbe bill submit

quite a crowd of Harrisburgers to tbe

of the bill grew very warm io their

announced their intention to vou;

raised the point during tbe debate,
tbat in its present shape tbe bill was
unconstitutional lln held tbat a bill
directing the removal of tbe cupital
must firs', be passed aud tbat tbeu it
should be submitted to the peop'e f .r
approval. Lawyers generally con
sider tbe poiat well takto, and it is
probable tbat tbe bill will be ameu l
ed to meet tbe objection.
Quite a little brecz w raised iu
tbe Hoi.se to-day bv the iutroducliou
of a resolution by Mr Long of Alle
gheny which asserted that li.iyes
land Wheeler had received a majority
of tbe electoral votes legally cast and
were therefore elected aod should be
inaugurated by tbe proper, authority
on tbe fourth of March next. Seeing
tbat the resolution weuld be adopted
by tbe House tbe Democrats, refused
to vote and left tbe 1111 for the pur
pose of leaving the li iuse without a
quorum. The yeas aud nayes were
called aud a was expected, uo quor
um voted. Tbe Democrats thought
they bad accomplished their inject,
and several of tbe most unsophisti
cated among them re en '.ere d the
Hall, whereupon tbe Speak-r ordered
tbe roll to lie called and ordered tbe
doorkeepers to allow no members to
leave the "lall until it was completed.
A quorum having thus been secured

even so far as 1 am advised, bas not in '

Tbe evidence wbicb has come to me
ha left me nj ground to doubt tbat if
there bad been more military force
available it would bave been my du
ty to have disposed of it in tbe sever
al States, with a view to tbe preven
tion of violence and intimidation,
wbicb bave uudoubtedly contributed
to defeat tbe election law in Missis

sented, aod I could not deny his con
stitutional request without abandon

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. In
