Wasmnaros, D. C., Jan. 19.—Indlvidual op- position to the Compromise bill probably cul- minated to-day. It will cither crystallize with orzanlzed opposition by to-morrow, or ‘it will subside from day to day under the influence of considerations of political expedicucy, and of thourgent demand from the business public for a harmontous and specay adjusttnent of the dispute, Numerous tclegrams wero recefved by memnbers of both parties lust evening and to- day urging them to oppose the bill. Morton got more than a score before bed-timo lnst night commending his coursc in refusing to sign the report, Prominent Democrats as well a8 Republicans wero thie recipients of messages denouncing the measure, This fieat crop of responscs from the country came from ACTIVE POLITICIANS whose strictly partivan fe iniz led them to look only at the possibility of the defeat of their candldate by the workings of the tripartite com- misston schieme, To-lay communications from business men began to arrive, commending the wicasure, and urging ts fmmediate adoption. Auything like a hearty subport of the bill was excedinely rure among either Democrats or Re publicans, 0s they cathered In groups to discuss fta provisions, Al dts faults wera plcked out and magnitled, and on cach side thero wus an absorbing suspicion that some trick of the op- porite party was concealed In it. Tmpulsive Republicans condemned it as a surrender to the hulldezing threats of the Democrats, and flery Democrats saw fu 1t only AN INGENIOUS PIECE OP MACHINERY arranged to work out with o certalnty tho counting In of Hayes. A curlous pliase of the sltuation was the avowal, on the part of a num- ber of Western Democrats, of their belicf that the opposition to the bitl of men llke Morton and Sherman in the Scnate, and Garfield and Frye In the 1louse, was ouly & blind to Induce the Democratic members to support It. In the Houee of Representutives there ean be 1litle doubt that o majority of the Democratie caucus will AGRER TO SUPPORT TR BILL. The Democrats understand perfectly that, with the present temper of the Republicans in the Senate, If they reject this plan they have no hope whatever of peaceably Inatigurating Tilden, It s doubtful it a majorky of them expect to have Tilden declared to by the Presl- dent-elect by the operatlon of thls plan; but then Henry Watterson remarked yesterday it has about it so many clements of fairucss that It will serve as a good ladder for them on which to come down from the position which 10any of them have assumed. It (s thercfore falr to presume that the samo clement which voted the resolution recommending the fine peachment of the President in the Dewmocratic caucus carly In the sesslon will be equally potent to secure the support of A LAKGE MAJORITY OF THE DEMOCHATS for the Compromise bill, The Republicans, on thie other band, are equally divided {n opimlon with the Democrata, all the most con- scrvative men, sod not a few of those who are radieal in their optuions, nd- ing, as they think,« this bIl does not vivlate any explicit pruvision of the Canstitution, and belng uuwilling to assume the position of upposing what 1s generslly sccepted as a falr method of settling the preseut controversy, will protubly support ft, though not very enthusias- Ucally, IN THE SENATE the great Influence of such men as Edmunds, Conkltug, and Frellughuysen will, it s belleved, fusure fur the bill a large majority of the Re- publicans, and, If the Uil comes to the louse fudorsed by their approval, this fact will have great welght with the Republicans of that body. SECKETARY Pisi, I talking with politicsl friends to-day, ex- pressed bis approval of the compromlise bill. He thoughbt it fair aud just, aud saw no reasous why Republicans sbould besitate to submit thelr cuse to such a board of arbitration as the blll proposed. He was of oploion that if mem- bers of either party expressed unwillingncss to accept the decision of this Board, it wus equlv- aleut toau admission that they did not deem tlcir caso a good vne, UNDECIDED.

GENERAL DISSATISPACTION. Bpecta Dispateh to The Trivune, NEW Yonrs, Jan. 19.~The talk on the strects and elrewhere to-day has been larmely about the pruposed cumpromise bill. The general opinfon 1s adverse. The Jernid fs the only morning paper favoring the scheme, The World Jolns the Timer, Tribunr, aud leading politicians In opposing it. From interviews held with prominent poli- tictans by Times reporters the folluwing sum- mary of viewn is inade: ‘The Hon. A, B. Cornell thought what Sena- tor Conkling thinks—that Is, he lelieved the plan conatitutional and the one most certaln to bring about u peaceful retticment. Mr. Cornell also betieved New York would go for Haycs. SICKLES AND ASTOIL Gen. Danlel E. Slcklea sald the beat thing that could be sald of the scheme was that it was agreed upon by a Joint committee embrasing leading men of opposite opinfons. The refusal of Senatur Morton to sign weakened the report, a8 he had given the subject more attention in past years than any other member of the Senate. The achieme was open to serfous objections in a constitutional polut of view. Sickles dislked the manner In which particular Judges were sclected with reference to thelr supposed partisan preferences to declde a great politieal question. It scemed to hlm surprising that 20 able a Committec rhould have agreed on a plan opento so many objectlons snd so hittle consistent with time-honered precedent and the opinfons of leading statesten since the origin of the Government. John Jacob Astor dld not presume to under- stand the lezal consideratlons involved, and confined himeelf to saying that 4f the adoption £ thin report would eflect a eettiement ina , just, wnd practical manner, {t would bea prosidential thing: but he was ot able 1o ex- press an ophvon as to It legali PHELPS, SCIHULE2, AND VAN ALLES.

Nor did he deent it proper to drag in the meinbers of the Supreme Court, Gen, James I1. Van Alien said he had nota shadow of doubt that the President of th Sennte had the rlzht to count the Electors vote, ns clalmed by the Republicans, but the great feature of the plan proposed was that the defeated party must necessanly acqutesce fu the fssue, as both partie: enteriug Into the com- pact, hud &0 bound themselves., Jokson P dhinltz thought the achemne a great mistake, cepecially In drawmz the Supreme Court into matters outside ftn projier work, DAILEY, SALOMON, PEALODY, AND FANCHER.

CLEVELAND, Special Dispatch to The Triduna. CLEVELAND, U., Jan. 14.—The measure pro- posed by the Jolnt Comumittes of Congress for connting the Electural votes flnds more op- ponents than suppurters among Republicans of this section. At tirst there was o general dis- position to cppose the plan s o measure of peace and goud will, but the muredt §s examined 1 detull the strongzer grows the opposition, even among conservative men. The exclusion of Chiet-Justice Waite from the Commission indi- cates to Ohfo Repubifcans that there was un unwillhngness o the part of the Julst Com- mittee to nake the tribunal sbove susplclon of partisan blas, Above ull, however, it is the conshderation that the measure proposed fs without authority iu the Constitutiou or any existing luw that it demands of the Kepublioan party that it SURLENDER A PERPECTLY VALID AND TENADLE CLAIM that the vote should be countedas hereto- fore, while the Democruts ouly renotinee theie untenable clulin that the Hunre alone may ae- Juet the vote of a State and dedlare that noelee tion hias been held, und proceed to elect.
