Tho report of the mecting of Indiana Democrats held yesterday at Indiaapolfs has the old ring of thode Indiana Conventions in the days of the Rebellion which wers controlled by the “Kuights of the Circle.” Senntor Morton, on reading the fucendiary and revulutionary eall for County and State Conventfons, determined to o home at onve, and ko left to-nlglit for Tu- diamapolls, Those who . remember how *he atmmped out treason In Indlana durlng the Re- belllon feel contident that lie will now so direct the Unfon sentiment that Indlana will not be led astray, hut will sustain the laws, Constitu- tion, and the Union agalnst all agitators who may seck to rovive the Robellion, What the Southern Democrats facetiously term ‘' IEWITT'S BONTAIL ADDRESS Is not the document. which Tilden deslred to have Issued to the people. The argument pre- pured fn Now York and brought here by Hewltt was an claborate pronunclamento which was to have rallied the faithful to tho revolutionary banner which Tilden wishes to erect.

Wasinxarox, D. C., Dec. 14.—The Demacrat- fcparty In the House have committed them- sclves agalnst any proposition which looks to the adjustment of the Electoral difileultics be- tween tho two Houscs by the makiug of @ now rule, or to the submission of the question in any way to the United States Bupreme Court. The actlon of the Houso with respect to the report of the Judiclary Committeo this morning on Me- Crary's resolution, and its subscquent action on Le Moync's propoaltion, show thls, McCrary lust week had o resolution sent to the Ji udiviary Comusittee providing for the creation of a Jolut committes of the two lHouses to devise gome plan for wdjusting the difflenl- tes eithor . by constitutional smend- ment or by logislation. The Judiclary Committee had at one time, it is understood, sgreed almost without divislon to report this resolution for favorable action. Meautine au- other Democratic caucus was held, at which there was much incendisry talk, and a deter~ mination manifested to insist upon the right of the House to reject au Electoral vote. At that caucus the Hunton resolution wus adopted, which provides for the creation of g House Com- mitteo of seven to ascertaln the rights, privi- leges, and dutics of the House as to the Elect- orsl count. The {ufiuencs of the caucus was immediately spparcnt in the Judiclary Com- mittee. The rcsult was that the vole by which it hed been agreed to seport the McCrury resolution favorably was re. 15, ‘This gantleman thinka that, 1876. consldered, and the Hunton cancus resolution adopted as an origlnal proposition. The resolu- tionwas reported to tho IHousa to-day and adopted. Tt rejects McCrary's proposition and stands entirely upon the rizhts of the House. ‘The sequel of this position was the action upon Le Moyue's resolution. 'This resolution provided for the appoiutment of a Joint Committes 1o prepare some plan for submitting the Electoral difliculty to the United States Bupreme Court to obtain an opinfon, Coming from a Democratic zouree, it was entitled at Jeast to conafderation, but Fernando Wood, speaking for his party, de- clared flist the whole subject had been set- ted by the adoption of ihe resolution creating o Houre Commiitee on the Rizhts of the Houze. Accordingly the House refused cven to give Le Moyne's proposition considera- ton. This, for the present at. least, postpones, A1 it docs finally defeat, any compromise propo- sitfon in the House. This action fs in harmony with the programine of biuft announced fn the dreular of the Democratle Comnittec. Lo Moyne intends to stand by his opinton in spite of the opposition of Fernando Waod or the more btter factionlsts among the Demnocrats, Le Moyne, o8 do all Deniocrats without exceps tion, maintains that the Senate cannot prevent an- cxamfuntion fote disputed returns, and that thelr vulldity will be nquired into, and, # found fraudulent, that they will be refected. The Republicans are as firm in their views as to the sbsolute right of the Benate to count without examination. Under theso clr- cumstances the LeMoyne resolution proposed, not to iive the Bupreme Court jurisdiction to determine the result, but. to obtaln from that body in this grave crisls a legul opinfon which should command the respect of the country. “There is reason to belleve that the Supreme Court would not refuse, under present clreum- stauces, a request made by both Houses of Con- gress. Nelther party, he thinks, would venture tooppose the conclusion of that opinfon, al- though it did not have the validity of o Judg- ment. Le Moyne's proposition wns support- ed by moderute men of both varties, who think {t of more fnportance to save the country thun to secure theoflices. The danger of the situation, Le Moyne thinks, fs that neithier party Is willing to take any steps which may preclude thoin from insdstlng that thelr candidate is clected. MILITARY INTERFERENCE.
