THE EhECTOBiL C0HHIS3I0N The debate in the House of Representatives on the Counting bill presents few features of ' interest, and will end at three o’clock-to-day. T h « e is no reason to doubt that the vote' wMch win then be taken will be largely in its favor. The President has again avowed his ■ Intention to approve it promptiy ; so that, as w e have expected, the measure will become a law before the close of the week.' Taking this for\ granted, the political prophets are already predicting what t|ie electoral commission will do. Specuiations of this kind me chiefly . guesswork. The more the circumstances of the case are considered the harder is i t to fa r m a satisfactory opinion as to -what will be done- To begin witb, there seems to be a mistake, as to the final composition of the judicial branch of the commission. The elec tion of Judge Davis as senator for Illinois takes tiim out of the list from which the fifth Judge is to'he selected. Even rt he remi igjon the bench until the 4th of >farch . impropriety of his undertaking the duties of the commission is too ob-vious to be men election commis- oioju, oiioix we inquire info the Louisiana election ? Mr. ConkHng, unless he is prepared to share the inconaistenpy of his Dem ocratic associates in the .which we have supposed, must decide that there is a right so to inquire. It is true that he asserted in bis speech the other day that he believ ed Hayes to be elected, and we must assume tiierefore that he does not be lieve that the judgmmit of the Louisi ana Returning Board ought to be set aside; but can we be sure that if the commission should resolve to review the proceedings of the board Mr. Cbnkling would not get some new light on the subject which would make him change his opinion? Of course we are not predicting what these senators will-do, or what dny member of the commission will do; but ■vte believe that there is enough doubt as to the Course, not of the judiciaUiranch of the tribunal merely, but of its legislative branch as well, to make the final decisiofi a matter of uncertainty, until it. is actually • settled. The important thing is that a decision -will be reached —a decision in which the whole country-will peacefully acquiesce, and before which parti san members of Congress who. have been threatening a. dual Presidency and civil war mains tioned and will be conclusive ■with him and ■with the judgt.s who are to make the selection. ;! , There are stUl, however, three ja>lges from t ' wfipm to choose. The S u n says: “ This M l designates four jr Supreme ‘ jges are even Congress who. hav threatening a. dual Presidency a will be compelled to be silent. BSSTOBERQ BOUEHEaS CBEDir. No more important meeting has been held in this city for many a day fiian that which ■55-as held yesterday at ths Clearing House. It was ttfade up of representative men, and its object was to confer as to- the best method of restoring the credit of the Southern States. -' These states are weighed down withoppres. eive debts, which in large part were fastened on them by the unscrupulous adventurers who, since the close of the w-ar, have infested the ^ n th as the frogs and the locusts infested Egypt. ■ The war left these states impoverish ed, rrith their industries crippled, their labor system disorganized, their political condition uncertain. Clearly it was for the interest of the whole country that that should be done which would give them the largest opportuni ty for recovery. That tihis was not done is a matter of history. Instead, the states were overran with carpet-baggera, the Legis latures were practically seized, and the states sitted to debts of such magnitade as the hope of property owners that could be paid, and as to make the interest on these debts what a heavy weight is to a swimmer cross ing a river. These debts or bonds bore the great seals of the respective states which issued them, and were taken by investors here and in foreign parts who were mind ful of the former credit of these states, and I posdble thee?ce£3l^iail«>afl buflding wMcb : prospered dnly faloagttrAilroadbonds could be sold; becaufe, except for the ..vacuum created in the inrestmentmuket b y reason of the -vriflidrawal of Xfnited Btata bonds, neinf railroad bonds could not bave been sold to such, n n exteUtas to make excessive ralkoad building profitable to its promoters. Railroad expansion w m naturally followed by a col lapse, and ■with i t collapsed in 1873 the whole structure of credit. IFhen wh4t has been suffered by reason o f the neglect o f the demand debt is fully taken into the account there ought -to be no hesita- titn now on the part of Congress in restonng to the legid-tender demand notes of the gov ernment one o f . the privileges they had when they were- issued. Chittenden’s, bill proposes to do this, and ' toust ^ ■hat -hen a law, he is not unduly hopeful Let this sincereljrely that- there te t w he says is a good chance for its becoming bill become a law and let the Secretary of the Treasury be instructed to sell bonds for gold, as is now possible in the New York mar ket to a larger extent than at any time during' the last sixteen years, and then there will ba no reason why the pledge to resui fments in 1879 should not be i te specie ideemed; . . . . 3 should not thereafter be maintained. We should like to see a provision of this kind, in reg: ■ of the Treasury, incorporal m this bip, and see it then become law. If cannot be done, and the bill can be'passed as it is, by all means let it be passed. It will change a large part of Jhe demand debt into time debt. If while reducing what we have to payxm demand w e also add to our means of paying, we do the best that is possible in the circumstances.

' suspected of such a corrupt practice, although ^ there might not be evidence to convict' him of : it,'would fall into such ill repute that pub- ! lie opinion would enforce his retire ment.
