Bpeciat Dispateh to The Tridune. WasuinGrox, . C., Jan, 26.—The peace bill paesed the House about 6 o'clock this evening, by a vote of 101 aycs to 86 nays, conslderably more thay two-thirds, Thus the passage of the most hinportant bill ever enacted by the Amers fean Congress Is pssured. There was no such remarkable parliamentary struggle over the bill as tacre was In the Benate. It hins been appar- ent that the bill would paes the House by an overwhelming majorlty, The opposition was perhaps uot lesa conscientions, earnest, and de- termined than in the Bcuate, but the odds were tou great to warrant even a show of resletance, und the opnosition was manly and patriotie cnough to Interpuse no objectlon taa final vote beyond such s they consfdered neces- sary to insurc the minorlty suitahle time for debate. 1t must be sald to the credit of those who opposed the bill that they OFPRNED NO PACTIOUS OPPOSITION, and did not resort to the parliamentary taetios Ly which, had they been so dlsposed, they could have delayed the passage beyond the thne desigz- nated In the bill for tho organization of the grand tribunal, The sceno in the Ilouscwasthe most notable of the session, The Housorecontencd at 10 o'clock, ‘The debate continued from that hour uutll § o'clock, interrupted only by o technleal adjourn- ment at 12 o'clock and the Chuplaias prayer with which the leglslative day of Friday began. ‘The debato for the most part was IROSY AND DULL ENOUGH, but there wera a few speechics which command- ed uttention partly by thelrintrinsic importance, and partly by thelr humor, and there were a fowr spenkers who were Hstened Lo In profoundest st- lence more for the suko of thie speakers them- elves than on account of what they had to eay. The gallories wers a denso mussy the corridors were crowded, amd be- Ibid the members’ desks there was n narrow fringe of huwan faces. There were numerous alluslons to the' possibilities of a civit war should the bill fall, but it was noticesble that these ap- prehensions were geuerally deprecated by mem- bera from the Soutlt, Thoso scemed to fear war most, and spoke wmost of {t, who had the least to do with the lust une. LAMAR'S BI'TECH commanded unlversal attention, as all of his speeches du. He found no troubls with the constitutionality of the bill, and spproved it with carnestness and sincerity, ‘There was a Httlo sensation swhen he waudered away from tho discussfon of the bill to couslder the rela- tions of the Democratic party North and Bouth prior to tho Rebellfon. He deufed that the Southern Democracy bad expected ald from the Democracy ot the North, and safl the Bouthern people had brought all thelr llls upon themeelves, believing that they were flghting for a just, boly cause. They had lcarned the leasou onee for always. MENKY WATTERSON, tired of excitiug the passions of the peaple, ap- peared n the role of a peacemaker, urd coun- seled support of the bill, Ho drew a doletul plcture of the result it the bill should fall, yet even In that contingency he confessed to a dis- ‘bellet fu a ¢ivil war. By this confession he has shown the slucerity of his recent threats, lis ltllo,lm unarined Democrats have vunished fnto alr, Gen, Huribut called attention to the fact, which nuy be a very Important one, that the grand tribunal 1s not authorlzed to consider the ‘uestlon rulsed by the House that Colorado is nut & Btate. BEX NILL, OF GEOKGIA, made one of the scusations of the day fn & ten- tuluutes' speech. Mo referred to bis uppreben- sluns In the early part of tho sesalon, and ex. presscd gratitude that they were no longer founded. He betleved that the passage of the bill would remove all fears. Heo supported the blll Lecause §¢ was coutitutional, patriotic, statesmanlike, and wisc. Bpeaking of the Bouth, ho referred with some pride to what he called the proots that his people are for peace and prosperity uuder the flag of an undivided coun- try. Ile was congratulated fur his specel, and cougratulated still more a few moments after- wards when dispatches announcing his clection to the Scnate wero received. I141), by bis courso this session, has won the respect of the House, FOSTEK, OF OLIO, who has had to stand ngaiust tremendous pres- sure from hlsown Blate, favered the bill. 1o declared bis belief 1o the electlon of Haycs, aud also that the Vice-President should not count the vote. Foster says e Is convinced that Mr, Hayes upproves fhe blll. It has becu unfortu- vate for Foster and other Republivans that the attitudo of the Oblo delegatlun in Congress bas led to the oplnion that' Hayes opposes it. Blackburn, of Kentucky, wmade the bom- bastic speech of the day. He would mevef, no, nover, surreader tho constitutional right whkh the House might have, and talked of the poasl- Wlitles of war. Blortly before 5 o'clack the tall form of DAVID DUDLEY PIELD arose, and he began to speak, the first words he has uttered atuce he taok the oath, The House was sifent; all eyes turned to bim as to one who #poke with authorlty fn Tilden's cause, but Efeld dissppointed them; entered fnto no con- stitutional argument, and stated only that he believed the bill to he constitutional, patriotic, ami wise, John Young Brown, of Kentucky, took di- rectly opposite views from his colleague, the hard-headed Blackburn, and recognized In the bill & prospect of a peaceful solation of impend- ing diflicuties, and for the trtumph of the Cou stitutfon. THE FINAL STEPS, BELECTION OF THE ARBITOATORS, Bpecial Dispatch to The Tridune, Wastiingroy, D. C., Jan. 25.—We are at the beginning of the end. It is certaln that the blllto regulate the counting of the Flectoral votes, which has passed both Houses of Con- greas by more than a two-thirds vote In each, will_immediately recelve the spproval of the President, and be placed on the statute book, The next move will be tho sclection of the trip- artite tribunal In accordance with the require- ments of the new law, Four partisan caucuses base alrcady been catled, at which the ten Con- gresslonal members of the Commisslon will bo sclected, and thelr names will bo reported by the Chalrman of those caucuses to thelr respective Houses, three of the prevalent majority aud two of the minority. The two Houscs wiil then ELECT THE FIVE GENTLEMEN thus named in each, and there can be no trouble ahont this, unless it shall be Inthe caucses, It fs known that those Republican Senators who have supported the bl are_ perfectly willing, it not anxlous, to have Mr. Morton scrve on the Commission, and it Is obvlous that the Scnator from Indiana docs not desire to play an lm- portant part under o statute which he has so denounced, The caucus of the Iouse Democrats may, it fs rumored, in making thelr selcctions, throw overboard Payne and Knott, to avail them- selves of the superior legal ability of Field and Tucker, but there family troubles can be doubt- Tess amlcably adjusted, and each party will un- questionably be represented on the Committee by five of the ablest Congresamen, TIHE FOUR ASSOCIATE JUATICRS ol the Supreme Court, whose virculta are named an the bill, will also luve to meet on ‘Tuesday next and eclect a fIfth Assoctate Justice, who will have the casting vote of the Commission, Mr. Justice Davis has been removed from the llst of candidates by the Leglslature of I1lnols, which has transferred him from the beneh to the curule chatr fn the Senate chamber, now oceupled by Gen. Logun, as a Demoeratic Benator-clect, who will have immenso Federal patronage In Illinols sbould Tilden become President. He can hardly be an finpartial Judge, and is regarded as OUT OF TIIE QUESTION. Judge Swaync Is on terms of personal friend- ship with both Tilden and Haycs, yet many think that he will be the Justice selected. Others regard Justice Bradley as laving the best chauce, ‘The Commission having been filled, cach ono of ita fifteén members witl tako an ooth that be will fimnpartially examine and consder ol ques- tions submitted to it, snd a true judgment giv- en thereon according to the Constitution nud the laws. They will employ clerks and stenog- raphers, aud they will 2 MAKE THEIN OWN nuLES, one of which will prescribo whether tho sessions will be public or private, They will also declde whether they will recelve and constder the Elect- oral yotcs to be submitted to them State by State with accompanying papers, or whether they will permit the two political partles to be represented by counsel, who shall present tho case with appropriate argument. ONE BENSATIONAL $'ECULATION as to tho forniation of the Benate branch of the grand Commisston fa that Conkling will 1ot be chosen; that Edmunds will be elected aa the poaitive friend of the biil; Howc, as represent. ing the class who did not approve of the bill, but voted forit asa political nccessity; and Morton, who as an actlve upponcut of the mess- ure from his positlon as Chairman of the Elee- tion Comumittee, and as the defender of the Bouthern State Governments, has complete command of the detalls of facts connected with the questlon, There fs little avubt that BAVARD AND THURMAN will be chosen to represent the Democrate, In the House the tulik among Nepublicans fs not as reassuring or ensy as ft s in the Senate, The ultra Republlcan opponcnta of the bill in the House scetn determined that no Republican memberof the Julnt Committee which framed the bill, and no one who voted for i1, shall be the caucus' cholce for members of the Grand Commisslon. Yot it will bo hard fur this class to malntaln heforo the people that Garfleld, Frye, and Townseud are better friends of the Republican party or Jess anxfous to have Hayes successful than Hoar, McCrary, and Willard, PINE POINTS, The chiet danger to Ilayes lles, according to some, in the Oregon returns, and, according to others, In the Florlda returns. There is not as much fear of the Louisiaua vote, bevause it is belleved that the legal powers and jurisdiction of the Returning Board In that State are unns- sallable; but it is not clear tbat the Florida Buoard did wot travel outside of its authority, The Democrats will make a strong effort to have only two Hayes votes counted from Ore- son, In order to make the result s tie, andthrow the clection futo the House. But Republicans do not believe that the Commlssion will be so unfair a8 to decide that Hayes loses u vote in Oregon on sccount of Watts® disqualiication, Lnowlug that the same rulo will cost Tilden a vote In New Jerscy, anothier in Virgloia, aud a thinl fn Missourl, could the cascs in those States be reached. The Commission cannot apply the rulo to the ineligible Democratic Electors becausa thero are no double returns grom those States, and it might not thereforo fn Judiles apply it to the Oregon case.

Wasmxarox, I, C., Jan. 2.—The vo'e on the Elcctoral bill in soine of the States was vory pecullar. Tn Maine, the Republicans, with tha exception of Burleigh, followed Blane in voting no. In New Hampshire, on the contrary, tha Republicans in the House votea ray, while the Benators voted aye. In Vermont the entire Re- publican delegation in the House voted nay, while the Benators voted for the bil). In Mas. sachusctts all the Republicans voted aye, ex- cept Gen. Banks, In Rhode Island both Sen- ators approved the bill, while hoth Representa- tives apposed it. The followlng {8 au analysis of the votes of THE PRINCIPAL WESTERX PTATES! Oldo—Foster alone voted for the bill, white the following opposed it: Danford, Garfield, Lawrence, Monroe, Van Vorlies, and Wood- worth, Jowa—McCrary, one of the members of the Committeo which proposed the bill, had with i McDR, Oliver, Wilson, and Sampson, while the following opposed: Kasson, Pratt, amd Tufts. Kasson's vote excited zome comment, becayse from hia conversation it liad Leen ex- pecteld that he would support the bill Indiana—Only two Republicans voted for the Ditl, while the rest followed Morton fn oppostig It. Cason would also have voted uo, but for hisab- seuce while burying his child, Michipan—The Michigun delegation had n eatieus this morning for the purposcof endeay- orlug to secure united action To OPFOSE TUE DILL. This movement was an impertinence in view of the fart that Willard was once of the members of tiie Committee which reported the bill, but Conger has token occasion on the floor of the House to claitn that Wiilard is not & Republican, and reemed fnclined to act upon that assumip- tion In the cauens. The motion was made that the delegation should vote a unit agalnst the biil. This was carried In cancus of the dele- eutlon by one majority, but when the vote was taken it appearcd thut there was one majority In the delegation IN FAVOR OF TIE BILL. The followini was the Michizau vote: Yeas— Bradley, Wiilard, Willlame, and Potter, Nayx —llubbell, Waldron, and Conger. [Minois—Campbell, (ircenback Independent, voted with the Democrats for the hill. Not a slugle Republican from INinots voted for the bill.

Wiconsin~The tepubtican delegation wax solid ngzaingt the bifl, the votes standing: Nags ~—Caswell, Kimbell, Rusk, Willians, and Magoon. Minnesota—Stralt voted aye, and Dunncll nay. THE FINAL ANALYSIS of the vote ehows: Democrats voting aye, 150; Democrats voting nay, 18: Republlcans voting aye, 32; Republicans voting nay, 08, In the Benate the majority of the Republle- ans voted for the bill. Inthe House the con- trary Is true. The Republican Representatives wha voted againgt the LI inuy be cluzsitied somewhat as follows: First, active Republican pollticiaus wha haove fullowed the lead of 8herman ana Morton In the Senate, wha belfeve the Democrats are as bad as public cnemies, and ought to be kept out of power AT ALL HAZARDS. Somg hod constitutional scruples agalnst the bill, but the dominant motlve In nearly all was probably a hatred of all compromiscs, a belfef in Gov. Hayes' clection, and & convictlon that the duty of tne lhour Is to make use of the raserted power of tha President of the Sen- ate, backed: by the power of the National Ad- miulstration, to count him In. Bome were SECRETLY IN PAVOR OF TIIE MIASURE, hut thought the safest thing for thelr political future wus to opposc it, so that, should its ope- raticns not result in confirming Gov, Hayes' cleetion, they could say that they forcaaw such aresult, and therefore voted against the con- trivance of s Commlssion. This class iy the Senate was represented by Blalne, Simon Cameron, Hamlin, Ingalls, Mitchell, Sargent, and Bherman. In the House their followlug was much larger numerieally, Second, the Southern Republicans, native and carpet-bagzers, white and black, Thelr motives were in Morton's leadership, the bellef that Gov. Iaycs ought to be fuaugurated, and all opposition suppreased by TUL MAILED HAND OF FPOWER, and dread of the possible Incoming of Gov. Til- denas a certatn loss to them of all Influence and oflictal place and patronage. This class fu the Senato comprised Druce, Conover, Clayton, Dorsey, Mamilton, Pattersou, und West, In the House they were more numerous. Third, those who bud consclentious and con- stitutions) scruples agalnst the bl The Rupublicans who voted for the bill may be divided Into thoss who belleve a campromise casential to the safety of the country, and who dil uot Jike the plan, but took it as the only feasible one, and those who 1lked neither the compromise Idva nor the particular scheme pre- sented, but who thought it woull be A FATAL MISTAKE for thelr party to reject tho bill. Prouably the analysis might be made of the Democratic aftirmative vote. but It would not be casy to make au exact classifleation of either party by name. . One peculiarity of the House vote was the very evident Influeuce of Senators over their State delegatlons In the Touse. This was wspecially noticeable {n Obio, Indiana, and Malge, The Influence of Morton and Sherman was undoubtedly telt throughout the House, particalarly amone the active’ Republican poli- ticlans, who have consclentious convictlons that Hayes is clected, and the coustitutional belef that the Prestdent of the Senate has the rizht tocount the vutes. Senutor Cameron's influ- ence waa very strongly marked {n the Pennsyle vaola delecation, "They belfeved with him that It wus o trick to elect Tidden. There undoubt- edly were a conglderable number who oppored the bill becuusa they thunfiht that Tluves' o lenculu;'umuuu thei fn betloving that Le op- pored it TIIE JUSTICES, PEBSONALLY AND POLITICALLY, Clecetand Herald. The Conference plan for counting the Electo- rul votes names four Assistant Justices of the Bupremo Court as members of the Commission to settlo disputed cases, 20d makes it the duty of these four to chioose a #lth from the other Assistant Justices. The Chief Justles fs ex- cluded from membership of the Commission. The frst Justice named for membership of the Commlsslon, and who i3 mado its President, is Nathan Clifford, now in bis Tith year, and who hus been nineteen yearsow the Bupreme Beneb, Justice Clifford was a Democratfe metn- ber of the Malne Legislature from 1830 to 1531, when be was uppoluted Atorney-General of the Btateand beld the position four, yeurs. From 1559 to 1S#3he wasa Dewocratic member of Congress from Matue.
