WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1870. Greenbacke at the New Yord Gold Ex- chango yesterday closed at 9; In the search for precedents applicable to the question of counting the Elnctoral vote, tho curious discovery is made that at no time since the formation of the Republio has an Electoral return been rojected or even objected to on tho ground of fraud in the election or fraud in o Relurning Board, Tho problem now presonted is entirely new in the Distory of Prosidential elections in America, The Electoral votes of nearly every Stato in the Umon have been transmitted to the President of the Hounte. A few, howover, yot remain to bo heard from. If these should not bo received by ono week from to- dny,—Jan. ,—the Vico-President will dis. patch o messenger to each of the delinguent Btates for the duplicata returns required by law to be filed with the United States Dis- trict Judge iu the district in which the Blect~ ora nsscribled to et the vote, — The details of n very horriblo catastropho are this morning spread before the reader, who must ba alveady gorged with lLorror of the same flery deseription. A convent ocen- pied by Catholic womon and children, sit- uated noar tho fown of Joliette, in the.re- gion of Alontreal, Canadn, was bufhed .+ Clristmas night, and thirteen persons, near- o+ dyall children, perished in the flames. ‘Fhe " mourning and desolation of another Ramal are without comfort and hope. Oregon's genulne and only Presidentinl Electors passed through Chicago yesterdny, on their way to"Washington, there to appenr aud give thoir testimony bLefore the Senate Committee on Privileges dud Elections, to- gether with several other prominent gentle- men of their State, who are summoned to nssist in tho ventilation of the Crowix.

One hundred dollars in gold would buy $107.12} in greon- backs at the close. Plans of compromise and adjustment nre Just now as plenty ns blnckberries in Angust. Ong of the Intest suggestions for straighten- ing-out the Electoral entanglemont is, that in caso’ objeotion fs mode to nny return while the President of the Scuato s engaged in connting the votes, he shall decide £s to the validity of tho rotnrn objected to. Anap- ponl being taken from his decision, the 1louso and Benato shall scparately vote on tho question of sustaining or overruling tho decision. Should both ngree in tho re- versal of the decision, that ngreement shall Lo final, but if omo vote to sustain and the other to overrulo, then the decision itsolf shall stand. Itisnot likely that the Democrats would look with favor npon this plan, since its offect would be, after all, to surrendor the whole case to the Republican majority in the Senate. There aro at pres- cnt no indieations that the IHouso will agreo to any plan of compromise that is not one- sided—that shall give the ITouse tha balanca of power in the right to throw out the Elect- oral vote of cither of the disputed States, The form of receipt adopted by Vice. President Frany in connection with the de- livery into his hands of tho different Eleot- oral votes hits the case of UnoNiN so squara. ly as to suggest that Mr. Fraury lad the Oregon fraud in miud whenhe drew up the extremely cantious aud non-committal for- mula. Crovin yesterdny Landed over the ‘bogus and worthloss document upon which depends the fate of so many post-ofices, and in return was given the little piece of paper acknowledging the recelpt, from o person *‘claiming to be a messen- ger,”" of a package *‘purporting to contain o cortificato” of the votes of persons ¢ al. leged to have been elected” Eleotors, ete. ‘When Mr. Fenny opens Cnoxin's packet ho will discover at the first glance tho most conclusive ovidenco of the true charncter of its contents, for he will percoive that this person “claiming to ben messengor” was chosen ns such by the votes of two other por- sons who aro not known to have ever had an cxistonce ns Presidential Electors, The Oregon fraud carries its own exposuro on its {nce. OUR FOREIGN TRADE. It is worthy of special remark that tho American tariff has become curiously inop. erative, sinco it neither produces revenue nor nffords protection. We speak necessarily in genoral terms, and there are certain oxcep- tions in both respeets ; but a sarvoy of the experiences of the home manufacturers, a comparison of the exports and imports, and the decrense in tho rovenue from duties, con- Jirm the genernlization. The reports of the opartments show thot, in the flscal year of 1873, there was a total oxcess of exports (in- Cluding specié and bullion) of mora than 120,000,000 over the imports of that year. Binco theso statistics were compiled tho im- ports of merchandise have fallen off {o such an exteut that Europe is sending gold and silver in Inrge quantitics to this conatry in paymont of the difforonces. 'Fhe influx of specio has been so large that, notwithstand. ing the political troubles which would ordi. narily deprecinte the value of our paper money, the greenback hns advanced threo or four cents in value within as many months, ‘Thix goneral fact leads up to mavy inter- enting spocnlations concerning the futureof our foreign trado, and slmost induces tho hopo thnt wo shall henceforth make o stendy and uniform progress toward the condition of England, and become money-lenders in- stead of borrowers,$ The samo drift of teade connot continue very long without emrying us almost imperceptibly to specle resump- tion, for continued excess of exporta and production of bullion will give us so much metallic mouoy a4 to make its own way mmto clrculation, and render it easy and desirablo for the Government to retire that part of its Acbt vepresented by won-intercest-bearing uote 8w lich circulateas money. Lhe rotire- ment of greenbacks and substitution of a bi. wetallic enrvency theroof may, atter all, bo found to beas ensy and simplo a matter as the retirement of tho fractional eurrency and subutitution of subsidinry silver coin, Wo are nlinost tempted to predict that the so-colled balance of trade will nover ogain bo ! ngainst this country uutil wo shall have be- | como a nation of mone§-lenders. Beglnning with the flush thnes of the War, and up to the panic of 187, the American people im- ported forcign commodities and goods in the moat reckless oxtravagance, and for many years the production of American staples for export was seriously checked. Binco tho close of the War aud the genernl resumption of industrinl pursuits, our products for ex. port hayo increased stendily, and since the panio of 1873 the American demand for for- eign goods has diminlshed in proportion to the necessity for cconomy. 'I'he panic shut off entirely tha American demand for that large class of supplies employed in tho con- struction of railronds, and which were bought from other countries, 'Yhe gencral retrenchmeont nmong the people reduced the demand for luxuries,—such ns silks, fanoy goody, articles de lLijouterls et cer. te, fine brandies and wines, cigars, ete. People who had become accus. tomed to indulge themselves with articles of forcign ko at higher prices now content themselves with homespun stuff. *So great a chango enne over the spirit of the people in this regard that tho exports for the year ond. fng Juno 30, 18706, were $72,204,240 losy than the preceding year, and £100,665,152 less than tho year ending June 30, 1874; for the current fiscal year, the decrense (including the imports of specio to pay differences) will be still moro uotable, Meanwhilo Awerican exports must now coutinuo to iucreasv. Of course wa have certain stoples that aro almost monopolies, and of which we must continue to supply tho deficlencios of other countries,—such as cotton, breadstully, petroleum, tars and turpentines, tobacco, ete. But, in addition fo thess, tho aron of Awmerican exports Is bocoming eularged every year; and to the products which have been regarded as tho natural cxports of the country have been added meats, butter, and cheese, iucreased quautities of corn, flax, meals of all Ljnds, sud thosa comwodities which are the direct outgrowth of tilling the land. And uow the ruvge is fusther widened by the nddition of certaln manufactured articles. With the decrenso of imports, the increaso of miechnnieal applinnces, and the deoline in prico of labor, our manufacturors first fonnd thomsclves compalled to compete with ono another without much reference to the tariff, until now many nrticles of homo manufacture aro gold at prices as low ns tho duties alone that woald bo imposed upon them if they were imported. Abont the only protection afforded by n tarifl in snch onsos is protestion against tho rushing of bankrupt stocks into this conntry to be disposed of at any price. But, lately, oven the sharpest compotition has not discovered 8 hgme domand for con- rumption equal to tho production, and the manufacturers ars beginning to discern that thoy may seok forcign markets to advantage. Not long ago the Fall River cotton.spinners tried oven tho English mar- ket and found the exporimeut successful. The whole Western World, with China, Japan, aud Indis, lies open to American manufacturors, There aro classes of Ameri- can manufactured goods which could already bo sold to advantage in all parts of the world, if the agoncies were established,— such as cheap cotton prints; paper of all kinds, thoe manufacture of which has beon revolutionized by Ameriean processes; watelies nud olocks; Yankeo notions; boots and shoes, and all kinds of lenther narticles ; and manufactured goods in iron and steol, such ng ngricultural implements, ongines, machines, and tools of all kinds, With the growth of manufacture for for- cign consumption will decrenso the mbsurd voneration for the protectivo follacy in the tarif, Protection will no longer be regarded a8 necessary when American manufacturers enn dispose of their wares in other conntries to @8 good an advantage as at home, or perhaps bettor, On the contrary, they will discover that tho existenco of a prohibite ory American tarif shuts them out from markets where they could sell with profit, nnd thoy will begin o clamor for its repeal. ‘Meanwhile tho United States will continuo to reduce the foreign debt, both public and private. Whilo we wero buying a hundred millibns moro every year than wo wera sell- ing, wo wore running that much into debt, which was ropresented by all sorts of Amer- ican securilies ; but in 1875, 120,000,000 of the private foroign debt were canceled by ,the excess of exports besides the $20,000,000 or $30,000,000 of Government debt ro- doomed. ‘Wo cannot help thinking that this country is much nenrer the realization of the proper principles of specie paymeonts and free tradothan people generally suppose. —— THE SPIRIT OF THE SQUTHERN PRESS, We print clsowhero a liberal sclection of extracts from the Southern press benring upon the prosent political complications, which our roaders will find of special inter- est, as thoy are tho utterances of ropresenta- tive newspapers in various sections of the South, and nay be considerod to reflect tho general gontiment of the Sonthern people. As a whole, wo have the views of Georgis, Mlississippl, Tennessoo, Alabama, Texas, and Southern Tllinois, the latter being Southern in sentimont if uot in geography. Goorgia snd Alabama, as might be oxpected, being extrome Southern States, are firc-enting to the Inst degroo, and furionsly and bombnstic- ally announco that they will nover submit to Haves. Virginla, ns usual, is high-toned, and, whilo not committing hovself on the war-question, is nevertheless bound to rally round the flag, and is *truly loil” to a de- greo of oxcessive patriotism which might be eucoursging if it woro not 8o ab- surd, DMlississippt s inclived ‘to have the pouding questions settled DLy coustitutional decisions. 'Foxas, much to genoral surprise, is very modorate in tone, and Tenuesseo emphatically protests against. war, in which pacific sentiraent Southern Illinols joins quito cordially. Looking nt these utterances in detail, we find the Augus- ta (Ga.) Conatitutionallst, ono of the moat blustering aud rabid fire-eators of the South, Lowling for ** wah" and gore, but notifying the Northern Democrats that the responsibil- ity must rest with them,—n piece of satiro which will not fail to bo nppreciated by the Northern Copperhends against whom it in directed. The Savannah (Ga.) News sub- stantiolly tokes the same position, and, al- though it does ot openly advocato war, vir- tnally affirms that the South will not quietly submit to the inavguration of Gov., Hayes, The Jackson (Miss.) Clar on takes a much more temperate view of affairs than could bo cxpected in that Btate, whoro, un. der tho oporstion of “tho plan," the naturnl Republican mnjority hns beon bull dozed out of sight, and urges tho sottle- ment of the present conflioting lusues by constitutional deeisions, Uhe Memphis slva- lanche talks solld sonso to the South, and ad- vises it if defeat comesto bear up under it until the opportunity offers ngain at tho bal- lot-box n chauce for,the Democracy to come into power. It whrni the -South that it can- uot afford another war; that peaco is not only its greatest treasuve, Lut an absoluto neoessity ; that its prosperity lies in the pro- duetion of its five great staples,—cotton, su- gar, rice, hemp, and tobacco,~—and that this production must not be disturbed; nud, lnstly, tuat in tho event of another war, \\'hutuvgr may happon to the North, there will be nothing left of the South, The Cairo (TIL.) Bulletin, which is far enough Bouth to be considered a Southern nows- paper, echoes the Memphis valanche's ad- vico, and indulfrea fu still plainer talk, It begs the ive-ontevs to calm down, duprucates their fury, and plaintively says: * Will we never bo ablo to beat any scnse in tho heads of soino of the foolish fellows who call thom- selves Democrnts?” The Mobile Register, which boldly aunounced during the election campaign that the negroos would not be al- lowed to vote, and that Republicans would Lo disfranchisod in that State,—which wasthe actunl fact, of course,~—is onits highest horse, assumes that CiLoey will assort * hisrights” nnd become President, that the Domocratic party will never submit to Hayes, and {hat after THLDEN is ‘fusugurated the noxt step must be the ousting of the Southern Ropub - {lcan Sonators aud the substitution of Dem » crats, so that Tioey muy have both Hous s to indorso his polioy! ‘The Richmond W2 ty brings tho cheorful Intelligence that, wix at. ever wmay bo the issue, the Houth will *pot secede, aud tho comforting uéws “that Virginin will rally round the old flag. W have hnd occasion to comment beforo “upon the extraordinary patriotism of the Richit pond Wiz oud its colossal devotion ta the U nion. Tho Gajveston Newes, like the Memphis Acaa lanche, doprecates the war nonsense, urges modoration, aud advises the people . of the South to aid nnd oncourage the next Presi. dent, whether ho be Haves or Trwey, It will be scen that the Bouthorn Dew socralic papers like those at the Nurth represent every shade of opivjon, showing that the Bouthern Democrats are ns mnuld!ed as tho Northern, 'I'ho hope ofr the sit uation lies in the fact that the most ivflucuti sl and widely ciroulated papors are opposed to violouce and in favor of a peacoful solution of the complication, RETURNING REASON. There aro gleamns of returning reason in the Democratic party relative to tho pro. pored forciblo resistance to the inauguration of Mr. Haxes, anud it is moro than likely that tho wiso counsols of tho intelligent and consorvative mon, who fairly represent tho sentiment of the mnss of the peoplo outside of the office-seekers, will provail ngainst the greed that would not hositate to plungo the country into all tho horrors of civil war that it might bo satisfled. Wo gladly take every occasion to give renson in the Demooratic party a showing that is denied to it by the orgaus of tho latter-day firc.caters, Thus the Cairo Bulletin, whoso fidelity to the Democratio party cnunot be falrly ques- tioned, rofuses to back up the heroos of Bouthern Illinois like Bmuy Seainors, Ep Mexnrirr, Gen. McCrenyann, Don Monnz- soN, and others whose voico is for *‘wah.” It hns evon tho deconoy to rofuse an acqni. esconce in the attompted Crowiy swindle in Oregon, which Doy MornisoN rocently un- dertook to justify, and reads that gontleman a lesson in the following ad dominem stylo: 1t the Governorof Now Jorsey had retused to Rivo a certificato of election to the Democratic Elector who wasa United States Commissloner, and had glven it to the Republican Elector who had the next higheat vote, overy membor of tha Iemo- cratlc party would have shonted, in the londest in- digoatlon, prodigicus donunciations of the Radical rascality that wonld bave justificd the antragcous proceeding. 1f the Governor of Mlssourl had glven a certificate of electlon to the Republican candidato for Elector conteating with Gen. Frosr, the Democratic Elector-elect, the Demacrats wonld ‘have denounced him, in xcason and out of season, and would have been willing to follow Col, Monnie 80N into the tented fleld for the purpose of resent. Ing such a blow st the will of the peoplo as express- ed at the ballot-box. DBut, strange tosay, not a few Damocrats shout over the Cnuxux vate, and, with Col. MonnisoN, say: ‘‘Thls gives to Mr. TiLDEX the constitutional majority In the Electoral College.” How we would roar If wo weregored by the Croxix ox; how (nconsistently we rejoice at . tho pange Inflicted by Croxix on the Republican ox 1 For one, wo donot take much stock in the Cuioxniy vote. We would not fight for any man clected by 1t; but would feel inclined to hurl n few misailes ot .any ope who would succeed by such a voto. Every Democrat of common sense knows porfectly well that this is the truth of the mattor, if Col. Don Monnsox doesn't; and those who mpprovo of the CroniN fraud either displsy a profound ignorance or knowingly indorso o scandalous proceeding that would damn any partv trying to carry it out, The Bulletin, while expressing tho hiope that TrLoEN may yet be declared elect- ed and be inaugurated in a constitutional and lawful manner, gays plainly that, in case 1t is disappointed and Haves bo innugurated, ¢ Wa can se0 no wiser course to pursue than to submit withont an appoal to arms, and ask the peoplo to rebuke the Republicans at the polls.” If this wero the tone of the Democratic newspapers and leaders through- out tho country, Mr. Troex's eause would ‘have a much wider popular support, and thero would bo s mnuch more goneral dispo. sition to give a hearing to the Democratio complaints of fraud, even coming from so suspicious \n source. But the grent mass of the American peoplo cannot listen with much patienco to n lot of -desperato office-seckers - who do mot ‘hesitate to threaton civil war in caso thoy are not permitted to soizo tho Government in an ‘irrogular and extra-constitutional manner. “T'o tho extent that these desperadoes repre- semt tho Demooratic party, to that extent must the party forfeit all claim to popular confidonce. THE EUROP) WAR-0LOUD. The cable news from Turkey isnot favora. ble to peaco, tho new Turkish Promier, Mmuar Pasma, refusing to accept the propo- sition for on International Commission to superintend the reforms, This is the very :roclc upon which it has beon anticipated the <conferenco botween the Powers and Turkey would split. It will bo remombered that the now Turkisk Constitution, which wns sprend befora our readors a day or two since, not- withstanding all its glittering promises of reform, nowhers contained a provision for the enforcing of thoso reformms except by the Turks themselves. How much faith En. gland puts in o Turkish promise is shown by the dispatch of Lord Savisnunry, the English d slogato to the Conforence, for a stonmer to comvoy him to Athens if the Porte romains un- i elding, Asthoexecution of these reforms un. dvirthosupervisionof the Powers was agreed u pon in the preliminary Conferonce as n sine @' tanon, it is not likely that the Powers will y leld this point, oven if they had not the p recedent of the nbominable perfidy of the T urks to act upon, 'The suporvision of these n forms means o military occupation of Bul- g arin, Servis, Bosuin, Hoerzegovins, Monte- n egro, and tho Greoian provinces south of tiie Balkans; and if this is not accepted by t: 20 Porto, thon‘the further sottlomont of the q uestion rests with Russin, and that settle. niont Russin is propared to make. The litest dispatches intimate that Turkey will not yleld, and reports are oven curront that { he Turkish Council of Ministers has decided b reject tho propositions of the Powers and timst everything to tho arbitration of war. A3 the Marquls of 8arispuny has demanded o peromptory suswer from the Sultan, which 1 yust bo wade within twonty-four hours, wo t hall not bo longloft in susponse. There «:mn bo no further negotiation, It must bo +sither peace or war within n very fow hours, ‘There is no moroe siguificant forerunner of ‘the explosion that aconer or Inter must dis- yupt the Southern White-Lino Democracythan the recont attompts of the Augusta Conati- 2utionaltst, Richmond Despateh, and other organs of the original Confedorates of the Inecringinae-Domocrat school, to bull. ‘doze Dey Ifmn out of the tem- porats and manly stand ke has taken wpon tho Presidoutial question, Hizy was a Union man until he was bull dozed into going out with his Btate, and, despite his Andorsonville spoech, is to-day ore than ever convinced of the fatal folly of the sccesslon movoment, Thore were thousauds of old Whigs and Beur-and.

On this nc- count evidently i it that the Augusta paper anooringly reminds ifa rendots that Bex ITinn apposod secession and therefors is not the man to spenk for the Southnow, The Rich- mond Deapateh goes furthor and aays: 'There bolng an abnndance of culogists of ITATra among the Repnblican aspirants for ofilce nnder him, wo regani Mr, lirt's voluntary svidence as snporasrviceablo and superogatory, It was crucl for him while saying things that wero disadvan. {ageous to the men by whoze sldo he had strnggled throngh the Prestdential campaign that he shonld fall t: pralsing tho nominee of the party bio had op- ored. r Iy has pluck, pognacity, and brains onough to fight it out for himself, aud may bo left to do that same.

That be- ing tho fact, it 18 only a question of timo when those men will come to the front and sit down upon the hot-heads, Kentucky furnishes the procedent decisive of tho Oregon Electornl vote which the Onoxny frand was contrived to give to T~ peN. This procedont was set by the Court of Appenls of that Btato and by tho Demo- cratio Judges who fill itsBonch in tho case of Tuouas O, Jones, In 1874 JoNrs was a cane didato on tho Democratic Stato ticket for Olerk of the Court of Appeals. During the canvass the fact of his ineligibility, bocause of his having accepted a challenge to fight n duel, was generally, published throughout the State,—s0 much ro that it was n mntter of public history. But he stuck to tha nomi- nation, and returny footed up Joxes 114,- 848 votes; Coonran, Republican, 63,504, Coonnax contested, on thie ground set up in Cnonin's ecnse,—that tho vote for tho ineligible candidnte, JoNks, was not to be ocounted st all,~-whercfore he, Cocu- maN, was clected. The caso was car. rled to the Court of Appeals, the highest tribunal in the State, and the Judges, Deomocrats oll, dismissed tho case on the ground * that ineligibility could only work a vacanoy, to be filled as n vacancy, and that the minoyity candidate could not claim the office, though he had the largest number of votes cast for any eligible candidnte,” and that consequently Cocunay, having been de- featod, and thereforo having no shadow of right to the offlce, could not nt law question the right of Jovzs to Lold the office, of which ho had taken possession, and whick o actually held for the full term. Tho case i reported in 10 Bush's Reports, 783 (Comnmonwenalth va, Joses), and in its renson. ing is unansworablo as to tho point thaf in 10 event can the candidate receiving a mi- nority of the votes cost be cleoted, What. over clse be the result of the olection, the fact that he receives a minority of the votes cast disposes of him, and the Iaw will not pormit him to be counted in as Gov. Groven attempted to count in CnoNix to elect TILDEN. The Xzenan end of tho Chicago Times, edited from Washington, and the * wah* snd * goah " departmouts of that sheet which Kezxax suffors the “ old man" to run at Chicago, haveo beon in & state of lofty exulta- tion over the doclsion of the Supremo Court of Florida which ordered a recount of the voto in that Btate. Ilow utterly preposterous it would bo that a State Court should ordor a rocount of tho vote for Presidontial Eloctors now never once ocenrred to Kzexaw nor to his subordinates. The Florida Electors, hav- ing received their certificates of election, cast tho Eleotoral voto of the State and made ro. turn ef it to the President of the Senato, thus completing thelr duties, which by law ocould be discharged only upon & day that is now past, and' no Court could by any possibility cast tho vote for them; and no Court presided over by any Judge - acquainted with the rudiments of luw would attempt to oxercise such juriediction. And now, as might have been expocted, it turne out the Florida Court did not attempt to exercise such jurisdiotion. The decision that Keewax and his subordinates of tho Times were going to enforce by *“ wah " and ¢ goah " does not relate to the Electoral vote nt all, but is confined in its application to a recount of tho vote for Stato officors, Even the Florida Democrats, it appears, gave np the contost of the vote of tho State for Hayxs and wout into court only to ask a ro- count on the voto for Stato ofiicials, There will be no recount of the voto for Prosiden. tinl Electors, nor nttempt at it, If Krenan sud the ‘‘old man” want ‘“wah" sbout it, and acho to shed *“gosh " to carry out that deoision, let them go.in.
