In the midst of the most harass ing complicat'ions surrounding the final determination of the Electoral vote'wo havoever had an abiding conviction that Gov. Tilden would be the next President. He appears seldom before the public, but is con stantly at work in private. His past career has been remarkably successful, His first exploit was the demolition of the Tammany i'ng. In 1874, haring practically no political record save as a party manager, he was nominated for governor against Dix who had pro viously been elected by a majority of fifty-two thousand votes and whose gnbernatoria record was withont a flaw. Despite the almost universial belief that he w(ould be dofoated, he see-irned an election by fifty-throo thousand majority. Im. mnedite~ly upon01 a1.Ssum1ing his9 Oflico be waged a hitter warfare agaivst the Canal Ring, fald in the faco 'of the prediction that tho Ring would be too poworful for him, lie smashed it to atois. Last, June, notwith.. standing tho violent opposition of Taunmany and the Westeni and Southern Democrats, he secured an almost unaninous nomination for President at St. Louis. During the csmipaign, Indiana was made the pivotal State. Tilden made the fight and won it. The contest was changed to the three States of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. He carried them. On the 7th of November he was elected by a clear majority. The Radicals counted him out in Florida and Louisana and declared that th' face of tho returns should be accepted as final. On the sixth of December when the Electoral colleges met to ballot, Uncle Sain captured a vote in Oregon and thus rejoiced in the possession of 185 votes attested by the broad seals of the States. The Radicals gnashed their teeth, bnt Tilden smiled a seraphic smile and merely pointed to Gov. Grover's signature and cabalistic scroll. Then the Radicals declared that Mr. Ferry had tho right to count the votes and declare the veenit, while the House had only to sit quietly b~y and see itself cheated. It wais also announced that Cronin's Demo cratic vote would be thrown by Ferry into the waste basket. Til den said nothing; but he sot the leaven to work, and the result is the p~lan just prlop)osed. Tildena has never yet failed. And wvith right on his side, lie is likely to pull through the mire safely and land at last in the White House. The United States Senate. The terms of twenty-seven United States Senators expliro on the 4th of March ; and the indications are that the next Senate will be very close, with a small Republican ma jority. Elections to fill vacancies have~already beon held in a number of the States, and in others the Legislatures are now balloting. Among the new Senators are L. Q. ti. Lamar, of Mississippi, Garland of Arkansas. Coke of Texas, and Bailey of Tenlnesseo, Democrats ; and Blain) or Maine, Windshom of Minne.. sotal, Ferr~iy of M ichaiganm, and G. F. IHonr of Abismohusetts , Ihepublicans. Thoi contes~t ini Mfaachlusetts wvas heat.ed, thec fr'iends of Boutwell wvorking net ively to SOeuro his elc tion, the Decmocrats pre'ferinig Hloar. In Illinois Senator Logan is lighting for a re-lction, but seven Indoe ponfdents hold the balance of powver in the Legislature, and the Demow crats have nomninated ox-Governor Palmer, a Liberal Republican, with the hop1o of capturing their vote. In the ballots thus far held Logan lacks three of a majority, but the Liberals have not yet signified any intention of supporting Palmer, who runs a few votes behind Logan. President Graut recently expressed a desire that Logan should be re elected, a fact which should secure his defeat. The Legislature of Ne braska is still balloting, but the Re publicans are largely in the ma jority. Louisiana elects twoSenators, one to sueceed West, whose term has expired, and the other to fill the vacaancy caused by the rejection of Pinchbek. The Packard Legisla ture lhas elected Kellogg for the long term, an4 will doubtless elect Wo'rmoth for the short, provided a quorum be obtained before the dis solution~ of the Pa ecard' government, iof i at present there is little probability. The Nicholl's Logisla turo has made no selection yet and appears to be waiting to secure a quorum of whose logality there can be no qnestion. A contest will en sue in the United States Senato as to the admission of the aspirants ifrorn Louisiana as well as from South Carolina, and it is thought that should all throo Democrats be seat ed the result will be a tic. Now Jersey elects a Senator to succeed Frelinghuysen, Relpublican. The Democrats have a majority of one on joint ballot, but the Ropub. licans are making an effort to oust a Democratic Assemblyman. This attempt, however, is not expected to succeed ; and the Democrats will here gain one Senator. The two New Senators froin the recently admitted State of Colorado are both Republicans. Had Tilden carried Colorado, the Demnocratst would, aft',r the 4th of March, have been in possession of both branches of Congress. Booth of California and two or three other Republicitins are conservative in politiesi; and arte expected, with the aid of the strong Democrat i miority, to check any atteimpt at partisan legislation.

'Th e Suispen1se to the country at largo was h< c''n, ing more painful ovory day, and our material interests were suffering to a very considerable extent. A crisis secmeod imnminenit, aid rumors of an impending conflict wero obtaininig currency. In fact, tbo situation had become serious, and those who loved peace moro than war recognized the iecessi ty of dovisinlg slpeedy lielas ures to settle differeiies that actually jeopardized the lifo of the Republic. In so grave an emier genicy both houses iof Congress, as oiir readers will reniber, ippoint ed committees froi their respect iv.e bodies to confer together with a view of agreeing, if potsible, upon a. plan for terllimiating the disputes that had sprung from the i mhissioni to the P'resiidenit of tlie Senate of two sets of Electoral re turns from the States of South Carol ina, Louisiana, Florida anti Oregon. Extremio .liepubilic ans had taken the p)oiition that the Presi.. dent of the Senatc was the sole juldge of thle correctnerss andlegalit~y of the returins, anid that lhe alone wIas emplowered and1( vested with authority to conut thei Electoral votes. This was~ regarded by all fair-minded mieni as a mionistr'ona proposit ion, and wholly ulnsuppiort ed by precedlen t. 1Dem zocraitie leaders, both ill and out of Congress. claimed that the HOUSO laid equal privileges and concurrent jur is diction w',ithi the Senate in dleter - mining who had1( been elcted President. This view having booni endorsed by) sev'eral promninen t 11e. publlicans, and 5iustined by3 the indlepenldent pre'fss, the proplositi onl previously referred to, conicedinug the poe to count to the President of the Sonate, was finally abandoned, and all the qjuestionis involved in the controversy were referred to the ommnittoes of the two houses. These committees entered at one upon01 the work aissignied to~ them, and1 for a t ime acted separately, but. a joint meeting was at Ist arianged and their i laors were pros~eenutedi 'onijoinltly. H avinig before themi thle attauinut of one0 andi thle samie obiject, anud bleing impressed wit h the gravity of t heir surroundings, as we niaturaly supposed they were,. it. is not a matter of very surprh~ise that their efforts were eventual 'y crowned1 with suceosS, and that they were able to frame a report to Congress to which were attached the signa tures of all the members of both committees, with one notablo ex ception, that exception being Sona. tor Morton. Accompanying the report, which was made on the 18th instant, is a bill which is recom mended to Congress for adoption, and the provisions of which are substantially as follows : No dctoral vote from a State sending up only one set of returns can he rejected except by the afirnnative action of both houses ; in case two sets of returns are presented from a single State, objection to either can be made in writing, and such objec tion, together with the reasons there for, and all papers, depositions, and the returns themselves, are referred for determination to a tripartit( Commission, composed of five Rep renntatrvna. en ASe.t .1 r ,a u Suprno Cour t J'udges, the House and ?mnate respectively electing by a viva Voce vote their members of the commission, and the four Su promo Court Judges longest in service of selechng the fifth Judge fhvmn amongst their associates.. This board, compoued of those who make the laws and those who interpret them, and withal a very respectable tribunal, is to determine which of the disputed votes shall be counted, and Congress shall be bound by its dceision. If the conclusion is ar rived at that neither candidate has received a imijori 1.y Of the electoral votes, then resort is had to the con stitlutional provision which permits the H6use to Vet the President, and the Senato th0 Vico-Presiden t.

Opinions of the Press o. the Proposod Eeooi al Co.nt.L Now York Herald. It's main features are excellent. It has the great merit of not decid ing the Presidentiatl question by the more organizattion of the proposed board of referces. The result of the counting would be quito as uncer tain after the adoption of their plinl as it was before. Both sides could therefore aecopt it without any sacrifico of party pride-a feature essential to the suiIccess of any plain. In the next place, it is ont10-v sound, and wise in taking the di puted questions out of the areni ,f party politics, and referring them for final decision to a board sniall enough in numbors to creato a sinise of individual responsibility, and high enough in chiararter to afford a guaraintee for upright intentions. In the third place, the proposed plml, if a-lopted by Cungress, binds all pat;es to abide by the decision o' the board of refei es unless over. ruled by a con ur: nt vote of both Houses. This is the most importu ant provision of tll, and is essential to the success of anly plan. It is 11 ( Cssialy to settle tihe Presidential question in such ia wiy ats to pro Cludo all danige'r of its being re oponed wheni once decided. by bind ing the supportorso of both claimants to accept the judgment of the ap.. pointed tribuiml. Now York Times. Excepting the single element of deciding by lot the composition of the colnting court, this plan is open to all the objections which have been frequently set forth in thes columns. It imposos on the ,Judges of the Supreme Court fune tions which they w(ere never intend ed to peforn, aund it relieven the President of tho Monato of duties which the f anors of the Constitution deliberately and distinctly imuposod on him. It is merely a device to stave off the settlement of (ue0stions which can and ought to be docidedat once, and it ronders possible the oe currenco of a Presidential intor. regnum which would neithier be croditable nor proli tablo to country. Richmond Dispatch, Editorial. The compromise based on the Con stitution and law and civil usage leaves the : eult as to who will bo proclaimed President in doubt, and for this chiefly it was adopted. No plan that would certainly elect Tilden oril Hayes could have been adopted. The compromise being entirely Comidstent with our repub lican iiistitutions-oi aiiliiltafining the suprenacy of opinion over force i ust comnand the conlfidence and respect of the nation. Therefore, whether the judlgmen~ts of the advisory body lead to tihe declaredi (elctionl of TIilden or Hayes, the end will commnid the~ general acquies cence of the nation. Hlapp)y indeed should we all b)0 in either event to have escaped altogether the inter vention of force and violence.

There has been much sp~eculation as to whiit course Vice-President Ferry will pursue on the then second WVednesdaiy of February inl regardl to ouantmn'. the electoralI votes, anld many wild andl ab~surdl theories hlave been aid vanced. The following comeIs froma a p~orfectly trustworthy source, andk maIy be regar .ed a~s semi -offici-l, al though not author ized by Mr. Ferry nor published with his knowledge: 1st. If tile Senate and House of Representatives agree as to tile course to be pursued, Mr. Ferry will act strictly in accordance with su~ch agreement, be it what it may. 2d. If no agreemnilt is reached by the secondi Wednesday in February, Mr. Ferry will proceed to openf and count the votes of all tile States, ex cepting those from Oregon, Louisi ana. South Carolina and Florida. 3d. The question of couniting the votes from the four above named States will be submitted to the two houses. If they agree that .the Re puiblican~ or Democratic certificates from one or all of the States shall be counted or rejected, Mr. Ferry ,will abide by such decision and act ia accordance therewith in counting or rejecting the certificates. 4th. If by the third of March concurrent action of the Sonaite and House is not had in regard to the four States, Mr. Ferry will then proceed to count the votes of said States' and declare the result.

The coninunity of Williamston was shocked on Thursday when the particulars of a dastardly outrage, perpotrated thonight before, became known to the townspeople. On that night, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, a handsome and respecta ble young lady, daughter of E. J. Piunson, trial justice of that place, was st4bbed in eleven or twelve differ - 't places on lor person byherlover, I.awrence Smith, who resides near Golden Grove station on the Green villo and Columbia Railroad. Smith had been visiting the young lady for tihe past six or ight months, and it is Supposed that, in his failure to gain hern affections, lhe concluded to take her life. lie induced her to accoim pally himn ia short distance from her father's house,and then stabbed hor with a knife Smith weit to Greenville on Fri day, in company with his uncle, Mr. Trowbridge, and gave himself up to the sheriff. After conmmitting the act, he wandered aL)Out the Vicinity of Willi Stol, and when lie caine to himiself was on the rairoad track. He went directly to his home, and exhibited no remorse, not comnproe lieiding the enormity of the crime lie hiad committed. As soon as the facts of the caso cano to the ear of Mr. Trowbridge, lie went to the hlouise of Smith's mother, and took him to Greenville. Smith says he had al ways entertained the highest re Spet for tht yonng lady, and would not for his life have done an ho rinjury, and declares that there was no pro meditation in the act-that he would sacrifice his life to protect her, and that lie remembers nothing of the terrible act. The ctndition of Miss Pinson is not very procatrious. How A YOUNo miW WENT OUT. An affecting incident occurred at the Academy of Music lately. AmNon", the audience was a wealthy family, one of the members of which has for years been in delicato health and was born deaf find dumb. It has been the custom of the family to take their afflicted dlaughter with them to the theatre, as sho seemed to enjoy tile excitement and action, although sho conl not hear a sound. It was observed that she seemed very much amused it the com'icali ties of Mr. Sol Smith Russell, and enjoyed the changes of his facial expression as much as any of the audience. When Signor Tmgliapietra came on to sing it was noticed that a curious light cameo into her eyes, and stretching out hor arms to her mother she spelled on her fingers, with the greatest excitement, the words, "Mamma, I hear." The next piece wias nll orchestral arrn.genent of "Trovatore." As the con position proceeded the tears 1lowed down the poor child's cheeks, and her excite ment beeame so great that it was deemed pr'udent to leave the theatre. On reaching home the exhaustion produced b~y the etvents of the evening was such that the family physician wvas summoned. As she lay on hier couch she reached for her slate and wrote, "Mother, I think Hleaveni must be0 music." The next day, in accordance with her request, Mr. Ruissel was sent for, andl he kindly camne and sang for the little suifferer. It was; too late.
