THE JOINT REPORT.

Oa la* TWndty tbe committee of the aerate «*d boarn of repreaeatativra aabautted to congress a joint report, in the nature of a bill, by which to solve the qmatiou of the election of a president of the United States. This bill is the joint production of six senators and seven jnenobora of the house of representatives. Three of the senators and three tnaaibers of the house of repre•ontative* are republicans. They are Mam. Edmunds, Frdinghuyoen, Conkling, McCreary, George F. Hoar and Willard. The other seven, Messrs. Thomas, Bayard, Ransom, Payne, Hunton, Hewett and Springer, am democrat*. The bill is too voluminous for reproduction at this time, sad a brief : ■tatmaeat of it* prominent features must servo the present purpose. _ It first provides that the senate and house of representatives shall meet together oa the first Thursday in next month, in the hall of the house of representatives; and the premdeot of the senate is to be the presiding officer. Two tellers shall have been previously appointed by each branch of congress, four altogether, to whom shall be given as they are opened by the president of the senate all of tbe papers purporting to be certificates of the Votes of tbe electoral colleges of the several states, and they shall proceed to make a list of all of the votes cast for president and vice president at tbe meeting of the electoral colleges last December. Where more than one set of papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes of a state appear, as will be the case from Florida, Oregon, Louisiana and South Carolina, the question of which set shall be considered the lawfalone shall be submitted to a commission to consist of five members of the senate, five. members of the house of representatives, and five justices of the supreme court of the United States. And a mejority of the members of this commission shall decide ail of the questions arising from the counting of the votes that are submitted to them It is presumed that, if the bill b«comea a law, three of the senators appointed as members of the commission will be chosen from those representing republican politics and two will be democrats; while from the bouse of representatives three democrats and <wo republicans will be appointed. The bill provides that of the supreme court those i justices who are now assigned to the first, third, eighth and ninth circuits shall be aeleeted and there four shall select the fifth. It is thought that the i four justices designated are divided two i and two in their political sentiments. Thia bill for the past week has been ' the absorbing theme of discussion by the pteas, in political circles, and among a’l daises of men whom the unprecedented closeness of the election has interested in political matters; while most of the important debates io both houses of congress occurred upon the consideration of its enactment as a law. As was naturally to have been expected the arguments pro and con have been as varied and diverse as the characteristics, education, partisan bias, prejudices and individual interests of the men and newspapers that have participated in the discussion. Compromises, especially those of a political nature, cannot meet the wishes of all. Each party is compelled to sacrifice some cherished hope or desire. Hence the ultra men of both sides express their dissatisfaction in loud gnd persistent clamor. They feel so rare that their own opinions are right, just end perfect , while those of their ppffUMiuti are wrong io every respect, fn*t ipythiog short of their own views seems absolutely unfair and scarcely a degree leas than criminal. Nearly every pltra political journal in the land, both republican and democrat h, and many of tbe ppnnfoeiit gentlemen of these rerpective parties. hage spoken against the tentui of this compromise bill in some ' manner pr other. On the other hand, nearly all of the OOttteryatire press regardless of pap-ty apteeedeuU have given their aterat to tbe measure a# promising the begt plan yet suggested fi*r » frir, honorable and moot nearly satisfactory aolutionufihe troublesome problem. Of the fourteen gentleman equally divided a " to Pitied affiliations, who .composed the jdnt committee of .oongress which devised this plan, Senator Morton alone olyectultoiu It is thought to be beyond doubt that jri« pe» the bill ffiFWWjaihr «g reported, and it is said <b«t Preridant Grant has dgoified bis approval of its general tenor and promised io promptly affix so, tore to it if it w nnwed. While, if the bjH bream* a Ipw. ifee •apubljcan party will be impelled to recede fa*u nope of the. positions token by its gtore yltxa rietprat since the rrault of the jrieeriem was announced, we are eompdied to drink that, all thing? coaridemd. <1 is the wi»ert. ajpd. wnaeqaenu ly. beet, plan yet proposed. There is scarcely a own anting the great nonofficMeeWsg of people, be he republican or deymoeret »ho port? tlvdy reptirfn deep down in the innerHW*f preritkct of Ina mind that thitQp> were not dime by the bold and aggresw 4*» toorohesp of bfo awn party which ««M opt b* rafted abaohtelyand rcrupufousiyfoir. We i. not rar. Ut that io the heat of a finree contest men were wrought up by excitement, the hop of prariMe reward, and an talenre pwwiooate desire to Win. to such a degree as to wepfep, unconsciously perhap-, the fcaMf of impm-tUJ jratire. We fuel Lt^Vj£V’’b'-KA’ ; ’-O ' ■ ilMfed' '

quite convinced that the democracy were guilty of tbe commission of the groaaect wrongs and wickedest outrage ia certain of the Southern states to carry their deaigns. We also belietw that they, some of them, somewhere, were guilty of criminal action in Oregon; while their conduct in the Colorado case and the case of the representative elected front the Charleston, South Carolina, district can be characterised by no milder term than low trickery. Indeed the democracy only set up that they have done these things as an ofeet to what they claim arc fraudulent actions upon the part of republicans, in order to compel an investigation of the wrongs alleged to have been oomuiiUed against them. As the matter stands to-day three-fourths of the people outside of those who hope to derive direct personal benefits by the final result of the election contest are ‘ not satisfied in their minds as to whether : Mr. Hayes or Mr. Tilden was elected. They know that Mr. Tilden received a large majority of the popular votes, but whether this was obtained by honest means and is a fair expression of prefer- ' ence is an unsettled question. They know that after a canvass of tbe votes for elector* by canvassing officers and returning boards acting understate laws, Mr. Hayes has ’a constitutional right to the presidency, if these canvasses ; were conducted honestly; but whether ' those returning boards acted arbitrarily and refused to count the elect ion returns of certain precincts without sufficient cause for their rejection is a problem which the mass of people are not qualified to solve. If we understand the provisions of the bill as reported it is the province of the commission to act in a judicial capacity solely, and to decide questions of law and fact arising from this complication of affairs. In this capacity they have nothing to say as to who shall count the votes; that matter is settled by the constitution itself. But they are to determine which set of papers purporting to be the certificate of the votes of electors, where more than one set is presented, is the true one and which tbe false. If the representations that have been made by prominent gentlemen of the republi* can party who are recognised within the body of that organisation and without as leaders and the statements of the ablest portion of its press are true, the party certainly can lose nothing of importance by consenting to submit their cause to the decision of such a high tribunal as that provided fur in this bill. A man may have au absolutely perfect title to a piece of property; there may not be a broken link in the chain or one missing from it; it may not be impaired by a flaw; it may be clear without a shadow; I but should another person .come forward I with a fictitious claim, holding a deed minutely describing the premises and ' fixing the title in himself, an appeal to the courts, while it may cause temporary annoyance, eventually only the more firmly establishes the rightful owner and covers the pretending claimant with confusion and shame. If Mr. Hayes has been fairly elected president his party has nothing to fear from the most searching investigation, afid the decision of this tribunal will fully establish his rinht in the minds of nine-tenths of the American people regardless of their political prodelictions. If he" was not elected he has no just claim to the office, and his acceptance of it would be an act of usurpation. But it is not within the grasp of a short newspaper article to discuss the principle which underlies this question in all its bearings upon the public and the nation. It is a subject covering matters of gravest importance, taking deep hold upon the present welfare of the people, and reaching far out into the, future of the republic. It involves questions which command the study of our profoundest thinkers, our ablest and shrewdest lawyers, and our wisest statesmen. Much can be said pro and con. Its magnitude will not admit of a permanent settlement within the short space of time allotted to its present consideration. The bill pending in congress Is merely a temporary expedient to tide over the present emergency. To prevent dangers in the future from this source and anticipate contingennea an for as it is jnssible to do so nothing will be adequate that is of leas permanence than an amendment to the organic law which shall more explicitly define the powers of congress in the settlement of disputes as they may arise, or which shall change the manner of electing a president.
