PROMISED PRONUNCIAMENTO. &Special Dispatch to The Tridtine. Wasmxeros, D. C., Dec. 12.—The Demo- cruts contemplate jssuing an address to the people. Randall fuformed the caucus yesterday evening that Tilden’s judgment is that the pub- lication of the address should be delayed until after the Democratic Committees report fromthe South, At seonference at Hewitt's lhere to-lny, however, the opinlon prevailed that = short address should be immediately publish- ed. This will doubtleas be done. It is sald that the address will be a scverc arralgnment of the Adminfetration, and will call for mass-meet- Inga in every hamlet fu the Unlted Stutes to support the Tilden programme. A DAD SCHEME, Thero is one mischiovous feature {n tho Dem- ocratic caucus programmes that is, the calling upon, Domocrats to organize mectings on the 8th of January in every town fn the country. ‘The intention of those who propose this plan is to have these meetings of & semi-military as well as political charaster, In order to overawe public opinfon by au exhibition of Democratic physieal strength, The advantage to be de- rived from this, tho maungers claim, will bo that tha business intercsts of the country will foree Congress to chooso Tilden instead of war. Advices recelved by Republican Representa- tives from thelr constituents, on tho other hand, lend to the bellef that any theatrical exhibition of this sort would have the effect of calling tho masses of tho North to Hayes' support rather than to intimidate them to accept Tllden if they belloved the latter not to have been legally clected. CANNOT AGREE. The Democrats were in caucus at Hewlit's until near midnight. It liad been the intention to give the caucus address to the people to the gencral press to-night. There wero so many differences of oplnion in eaucus, however, o8 to the character of* the ssssult to be made upon the President, that tho publication will be de- ferred at least oneday. The moderate Demo- crats found 1t very difilcult to restrain Wood and Randall, who wished to have an {nflamma- tory arraignment of the President inserted In the address, HEADS, I WIN. COMPROMISR 18 BUGGESTED, Bpecial Dispatch to The ridune. ‘Wasuineroy, D. C., Dee. 12.—=There {8 an evident desire on the part of the moat conserva- tive Delnocratte membiers of Congross to proffer to the Republicaus a compromtre meas- ure to settle the disputed Piesldunual question, ‘They do not appear to look with favor upon Benator Edmunds’ propusition to throw the question into tho Bupreme Court. They think that Congresa has full power to provide fora scttlement without the sdoption of a constitu- tional amendment, and that there ought to be wisdom and patriotism enough in that body to devise some plan for that purposc. Senator Morton’s blll of the last scssion, which provides that no Electoral volo of any Stato shall be rejected without the aflirmative vote of the two Ilouses, ouglt, it is suggested, be passed by the Benste. The House, holaing that ‘it alone can throw onta return, would, of course, refuse to agree tolt, Then A CONPERRNCE COMMITTRE of the ablest and falrest men of both Ifouses codld be appointed to report some measure upon which both bodles could harmonize, It would geemn, at first sight, lmpossible to agrce upon nny nethod compassing a diffor- enco g0 radical, but a Democratic Scnator from a Northern Btate belloves that in the last resort the decision might be left to the arbitra- ment of chance. A Joint Cominittee could, ho says, bo constitutcd of an equal number of members of each House, whose names should bu drawn by lot, and to this Committes should be referred for final declslon all questions as to conflicting returns, or as to tho validity of the Electoral vote of auy Stato which should be questioned, BDMUNDS' AMENDMENT. The Benate adjourned at an carly hour this afternoon for waut of verbal ammunition, Ben- stor dinunds’ constitutional amendment reso- Intlon bad been amended, and was ready for a vote, but Senator Bogy expressed adeslro to speak on it, und it was Inthinated that Senator Buyard would also have somcthing tossy on the subject, so the Senate mdjourucd that they may have time for preparation. OlL ON THE TROUBLED WATERS, ‘Thero are unmistakablo indications that the extreme men' among the Democrats sre finding loss and less encoursgement within thelr own party. This has beon brought about first by the conservative position tsken by so many prominent Bouthern men, and noxt by private lgtters from sli quarters from business Demo- crats, insistlog that their Representatives here sball settly all complicatious through peaceful means, These lotters aro having a most decided ' eflect, TIIE JOINT RULES. OFPEKING OP THE CONTEST IN TilN HOUSE. | Specal Dispalch to The Triduns. L3, ‘Wasnixurox, D. C., Dev. 12.~The discussion of the existence of the joint rules was unexpect- edly sprung upon the House this afternoon. Bland, of Missour, endeavored to bring up his famous siiver bill of last session. Hodid this by making a polnt of order under what ho called the twenty-firat Joint rule. That rule provided that at the expiration of six daysat the beginning of any secasion, unfnished busi- ness of the next preceding session of the same Congress resumics its regular place. A regular ruleof the Ifouse makes the same provision. Thera was, thercfore, no necessity fn order to accomplish Bland's purpase of maklog the point upon tha tweaty-first Jolnt rule, but it was evidently the Intention of tho Democrats to do this In order that Speaker Randall might make a ruling that {n his opinion the folnt rules still are In force. The discuasion having been rafsed onan incidental point, weat over, oll partics reserving a full debato until the issuc Is directly made, Enough waa disclosed by the debate, however, to Indicate that the Housc Democrats are determnined to maintaln the existence of the joint rule. Randall sttempted to explain a colloquy be- tween bimscll aud Garflcld ot the laat scssion, which has * been quoted to show that Randall then denled the existence of the joint rule, by declaring that that statement referred only to the rules of the House, and NOT TO THE JOINT RULES. Randali aléo made the point that the present House unanimously suspended the joint rules at the end of the last scsslon, and said that “What it takes two bodies to make it takes two bodies to undo.” Garfleld defined tha Repub- lean position tobe that there are no ‘rules, whether Joint or general, that bind the House except by consent of the Houee, Otherwiso the constltutioual provislun that each House shall nake its own rules would be vold, and one branch of Congress would have the puwer to bind the other branch in perpetuity. McCrary insisted that a jolut rulels only a ruloin any cvent, and that each Houss has the right to SARE ITS OWN RULRS, 5o that o joint-rule cannot cxist except by re-cpactment in each Congress. The Republicans matntained that the Demo- cratic srqument was a fallucy on its face, as It was conceded thut onc branch of Congress had no power to cuforce a |, jointrule in the other branch. To this Epringer, who is assuming the lead in the discussion: of the Democratic theory of a joint ru'e, sald, * Wo cannot com- pel the Benate to obey the foint rules, but wo can in the House, and propose to do it.” To this there was npplauze on the Democratic side. tandall himself sald, from the chalr, ¥ The Bcnate may not obey o joint rule, but that is no reason why the Houso should not, especlally as the House has followed these rules three times in counting the Electoral votes, and thero {s no reason why it should not bo done again." In connectlon with this dcbate. Garfleld brought out the polnt that in the Barclay Digest tho declaration was made that TIE JOINT RULES WENB NOT IN PORCE, but that they were published inthe Digest as they cxisted at the close of the Forty-third Congress, and for information. To this Randall rgeplicd that the announcement was. placed in the Digest without authority from any one. It'4s learned that tho “distinguished parlia- mentarian, Barclay, in a new {ssuc of the Digeat. about to be published, had prepared his Individ- ual opluion that tho- joiut rulcs are not now in force, but the Democratic authoritics baving charge of the publication refused to permit this opiulon of thiscminent parliamentarian to be inserted In lis own Digest. ! % HEWITT, fllL}'BBIlDN OF 13 RECENT INTERVIEW WITH 13 yow ‘THE 'RESIDENT, * ‘WasninaroN, D. C., Dec. 12.—The following is furnished by the Hon. Abram 8. Hewitt, ad- dressed to the Washington Agent of the Asso- clated Presa: In yesterday's papers I find a dispateh from yon reciting a conversation with Prealdent Grant in nge to tho unfortunate state of affalrs in Sofith Caroling, and my Interviews with him fn referonce thereto, So faras Sonth Carolina wa; concerned, the Presldent enjolned no confidencd, but expressly stated that 1 was at liberty to com- municate his viows to the public. He did enjoin confidenco In regard to what ho sald of Loulslana affalrs, and that confidence I have respected, ale though, ss I have already stated to him, T belleve the publication of his statements would do much to tranquilize the public mind. In vegard Lo South Carolina, the President stated that, inhis judgment, not an sixty-three members, having certificatesifrom the Secretary of State, wera cligiblg to organize the Honse and transact bus(- nees, FAs this view accorded with my own, and as no conlldence was enjoined, I telegraphed it in the following language: **A. U. Jlaskell, Chairman, Charteston, 8. C.: 1 am ablo to say that neither' lonse will bo recog- nized by the President until It gets sixty-three membeors holdlng original certificates from the Re- turning Board. Aunax B. Hewirr." My object inmending thjs dispatch was that I thought it would tend to atlay the excitementin Bouth Carolins, and prevent a collisjon between the peaplo and troops, of which we were appre- hensive on the Bth of December, Irecelved are- ply which Induced mo to send THE FOLLOWING TELRORAMS TO TUE PHES- IDENT: 4470 the President: T have recelved a reliable tel- egram from Columbla, stating that the sixty-third meniber, holding a certificate trom the Secretary of State, has boen sworn into the House presided over by Speakor Wallace, which s therofore organized in accordance with the requirementa of lawas otated by you," 4 To {he President: 1 have jnat recelved a later dispatch saying that the Supreme Court of South Carolina has prouounced Ita judgment, and de- ¢clared the House presided over by W.

" a On the evening of the same day Benator Randolph suggestcd that he and 1 should call upon tho Presi- dent and ask him whother, under thoclrcumstances, ‘hé could not sco his way clear toorder the with- drawal of the United Btates troops from Columbla, snd recognizo the House of Representativeasocon- stituted withalxty-three members. The Presldent granted us an interview, which began by my saying that I had sent him two telegrams frowm tho louse in reference to Sonth Carollna uffairs. The Preel. dent &t once replied that ho had recelved them, and that very late on the preceding evening he had received a telegram from Columbis saying that I had informed partics there that the I'resident would recognize as the Jegal House that body which should bave sixty-three membors with thecert!dcate from the Secratary of Btate, The President sald that he had replied that hie had NOT MADE ANY BUCH STATEMENT; that he did not belleve I had sald he bad done so, and that at any rato i¢ was not true. 1 repiicd that I had not sont any telegram to that effect, but had sent ono aa nearly as § could recol. lect as follows: **1 am ablo to say that the Presl- dent will not recogaize any House that does not contaln sixty-threo membors with the original cor- tificatos from tho Returning Doard," . ‘The Presldunt replied: **That {e correct.
