T PLAN PRESIDENT GRANT 5TRONGLY IN FAVOR OF IT. Soectal Dispatch ta Ti e Trivuns, ‘WasmixNG1o¥, D. C., Jat 21.—The President, to thiose who call upon hiny, expresses himself very freely and carnestly i favor of the Peace bill, There need Lo no speculation that, if the bill passes the two Housesy he will refuse to stzn it, He sald to<lay that he consldered It a putrlotic, statesmanlike, and equitable propo- stlou for the adjustment of the diffenlties, and thut no one would weleome a peaceful zolution of the Presidenttal question more than himsclf. He sail there was manifest opposition to the bill among theextreme factions of hoth partles, yet it dld ot geem lkely to be of such o charucter as would become organized against the bill, or be suflelently strong to securn its defeal, He thought that the business Intercsts of the country were such that. an indorsement of the propositiuon would so specdily come in from all scetlons that 1t would he {mpossible even for those who now declare thelr hostility to the scheme to vote agalnst it. He sald that he should BIGN IT WILLINGLT, CREERFULLY, UEARTILY. With reference to the electlon in the three disputed Southern States, the President, in con- versation with o gentlemau to-lay, expressed bimself without reserve. As to bouth Carolina and Florlda, ks Qid not think that auy fair- minded man could now proverly deny that both of them have gone for Hayes. As to Loulslang, the Prestdent spoke with & very much less de- gree of certaiuty. Tudeed, ho left upon the mind of his visltor the impression thut he serfously doubted whetlier the nction of the Returning Board could be justified ju countime the State for Hayes, There s manitest a great deat of individual opposition to the peace plan, but thero haa been, as yet, no orzanization sgainst it It is not Improbanle thst an OROANIZATION WILL DE ATTEMITED umong the Republican 8¢nators who ure udverse toit.

The Peuce or Compromliss bill was only fucldentallyaliscassed. 1f thero [s to be au or- ganlzed opposition in the Senate thy leaders will undoubtedly be Morton, Bherman, Sargeaut, In- galls, Boutsvell, and amlin.
