dicating a ready acquiescence by the'peo
ple in the result 'to ' be' Obtained and
.de 7,
Glared by a tribu,ial as far as'posibie re- ,
moved from part. prejudice. , . ,
By- the provisions 'of the. bill the;Coin
mission' was to hive been organized yes
terday,and fidm'afpPeararices, then, would
i g
. consist on the'pa" , of the Republicans of.
the House, of G a. ell of Ohio, and Hoar.
.of kass. The mocratic members not
yet having been; , reed upon. Bayard
and Thurman wiitbe chosenhy the DOCI-•
()crate of .the Seitate and probably', the
Republicans will : ; select Murton, Howe,
and Edmunds.. The! four - -judges inen
tioned in :the. bill, iTlitford, Field, killer,
and Strong,are alsd to select a fifth., Then
on Thursday at ole o'clock; in- the hall
of the-House f Rtpresentatives, 'Presi
dent Ferry presiding, the votes will be
counted. The presiding officer will open
the certificates in th:e alphabetical order,
of the States and:pass themip the tellers,
- who will read them ; and mat& a list.
.. In, the case of but_4m - e - return it is net
• probable' that anY-ObYetion•will be made.,
But in the case, of ,'doable .returns; Flor-,
ida would present, 484V:first for the ac
tion of the electoral commission. Tne
two Houses w!ll then diiiSolve the joint
meeting and await 'itie action of the
cominission.l If the deciSion in Florida's
`case is for Tilden,, then. all interest-will
: be lost-in Louisitinadltriertaii; or: ,e
'ubber" will hive been won. The strong .
point for Tilden in the first case before
the commission is the decisiOn 'of the
Suprenie Court of the State as to the
manner of canvassing the vote.. Miran
undoubted fact that if the vote 'should
be canvassed , as ordered by the Supreme
Court;Tilden. would have the electors.
Proceeding-in alphabetical order the
next disputed state will be Louisiana
where the Demoeratic cause is gaining
strength daily. - • ,
In any event we are confident of being
able to announce in our - next, that the
'victory whichwas acheived by the Dein-
Ocrats on thelth of November, is at last
a fact:accomplished. , • . .
Since the above was . written
. : both
Houses of Oongress' have agreed upon
the members of the joint commission.
They are as follows: Senate.: Messrs.
Morton, EdMunds , and Frelinghuyscn
Republicans, and Bayard and Thirn2art
Democrats. House: Messrs. Payne. Hun
ton, and Abbott Democrats, arid Gar
,field arid Hoar, Republicans. * '
;John A.,Logan
,has gone to meek Bout
well, and their political demise, which is
due to the same eauses, will aerie as a
warning and , example. They are both
raticorous opponents of any honest and.
• • -
honorable plan of settling the, electoral
dispute, l:ltelieving, in the . ability of the
conspiracy to . count in Hayes in spite of
the protests 'of the majority-of the' peo
ple. The election of Judge Hoar over .
Senator Boutwell by the Republican leg
islature of Massachusetti showed the un
mistakable drift of public opinion, and
the election of Judge *Davis, the trusted
friend of Lincoln, is an echo of the same
mighty sentiment from the west. 'These
two events prove that there is a point be
yond which 'demagogues like Logan and
Boutwell dare not go, in trifling with the
public conscience. The election of Judge
Davis will probably remove him from the
,list from whom the fifth judicial member .
Of the tribunal is-it 6 be ,selected. But
this makes no dinerence. There . are'
enoughleft. The Democrats are so strong
in the justice of their cause and in
their faith in the integrity of the supreme
court that they are willing to take any of
its justices for arbitrators to settle this
dispute, Without regard to their present
or pest political relations.--Phira lbws.
Oameron and Morton *dant that be.
fore a body of fair minded men the
Democrats would have the, best of it.
That settles it 1

'that they will be able to find five of .their
number possessed of the antitype of the
Cameron mind, and who are. such: born

too, the judges .who will sit on the corn.
thiEbion are more feelish and licinest than
our senator ~.thinks, and will return a
oonscientiouexerdict. We believe they
are and that they mill. Astounding as it
is to'' the Cameron comprehension that
fifteen men can be charged with a high
duty, without betraying it for their own
advantage, we believe that they exist in
the. Senate and House and on the bench,
