(tmanmvrTrsz&saaiezseacfZBSssSjKnr IVIio Shall Count It2 It would seem that after inducting many Presidents into office there Bhould have ceased long ago any doubt as the constitutional mode of counting the electoral vote, yet this question is now as much mooted in certain quarters as if the government was just about to go intooperation. Leading Democrats are claiming that the two houses of Congress have con current jurisdiction over the matter, and that the independent functions of the President of the Senate can pro ceed no further than the opening of the certificates. We even pee these opinions carried to such an extreme that conventions are to be called in various States to give thestrong back ing of vigorous popular demonstra tions to the House of Representatives In view of tiie probable demand of that body to assist in determining the count of the electoral votes. There was no doubt whatever on this subject at the very beginning of the government. So far as the public records disclose any facts, neither Senators nor Representatives seem to have cherished the least uncertainty regarding the proper course to be pur sued. There was, it is true, some de Jay in declaring the election of the first President for tho want of a quo rum in the two houses, butthls retar dation was not at all attributable to hesitation as to the mode to be adopt ed. It was not until April G. 2789, that the Senate was able to notify the House of the former's readiness to re ceive the latter, This was done in these words: Ordered, That MY. Ellsworth in form tho House of Representatives that a quorum of the Senate Is form ed; that a President is elected for the sole purposeof opening the certificate? and counting the votes of th1 electors of tho several States in the choice of a President and Vice President of the United States; and that the Senate is now read3r in tho Senate Chamber to proceed, in the presence of thollouse, to discharee that duty; and that the Senate have appointed one of their members to eit at the Clerk's table to make a list of the votes as they shall bo declared ; pubmitting it to the wis dom of the House to appoint one or more of their member for tho liko purpose who reported that ho had delivered the message. The House, so far from construing this communication as an invasion of its constitutional prerogatives, sent a verbal message to tho Senate that it was "ready forthwith to raee'." that body. After the canvas of the elec tion had been completed, the official record of the proceedings goes on to eay: "The President elected for the purpose of counting the voles declared to the Senate that tho Senate and House of Representatives had met, .nnd that he, in their presence, had opened and counted the votes of the electors for President and Vice Presi dent.'' Finally, a committee was ap pointed to prepare certificates of elec tion, one for each of the successful can didates. Here is a copy of the one Issued to General Washington : Be it known. That tho Senate and House of Representatives of the Unit ed States of Amerioa, being convened in the city and State of New York, A r"H R n ia yoar of our l.nr(i "I7S0, the underwritten, appointed Presi dent of the Senate for the sole pur pose of receiving, opening and count ing the votes of theplectors, did, in the presence of the said Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certif icates and count all the votes of the plectors for a President and for a Vice President: by which it appears that George Washington, Esquire, was unanimously elected, agreeably to the Constitution, to the office of President of tho United States of America. In testimony whereof I have here unto set my hand and seal. John Lang don. Thus, over and over again, it iB re corded In the official proceedings that the President of the Senate had count ed the electoral votes, and that he had 'been chosen for that specifio purpose. jSow, if the two branches of Congress ore unquestionably entitled to assist in determining the mode aud manner of the count, with power to accept or re ject votes, according a the two bod-' jes may concur, how comes it that the question was not raised at the very first count made uuder the Constitu tion ? That instrument had just been ratified, and was about to go Into ope ration. There were members of both houses who had been delegates to tho Federal Convention which had fram ed the Constitution ; yet we find them unreservedly co-operating in the course that was pursued, without any misgivings, under the obligation of ihetr oath, that the proceedings were in aay sense out of conformity to the orgauic law. If anybody, even among the masses of the people, objected to the mode and manner of the count, as invading the prerogatives of either house, that objection has not come down to us in any public print or in any private letter, so far as historical research has developed. Everywhere the count, as made, was accepted as a true interpretation of the constitu tional duties of the President of the Senate on every such occasion, by the people of the time, who had fresh in their minds the points that had been raised and the discussions that had taken place, both at tho framing and nt the ratification of the Constitution. This one precedent, which has many like it, is worth mora as a fact than all the theories of the latter-day Dem ocrats. Inter-Ocean. The Detroit Post seems to have a true understanding of Knott's bill. It says: "Proctor Knott's bill provid ing o system for counting the Elec toral vote seems to be unnecessarily verbose. It should be condensed on grounds of 'retrenchment' into this compact shape: 'Be it enacted etc.. That the Constitution shall be and is hereby suspended, and that the House of Representatives shall do as itpleases In regard to the counting of the Electoral votes.' " .11 1 - The London Times remarks: "The Jawabiding disposition of the Ameri can people is one of the noblest and healthiest of national characteristics, but, like every other virtue, it has Its weak side. The politics of tho United States are perplexed and contorted by the incessant multiplication of , ruua-. man 1 1 mrz quarrels over technical 'points,' and for these controversies the loose lan guage of the Constitution supplies abundant matter." Counting in. Did any one ever know of the Rep ublicans counting in and retaining in office a man who was notoriously not elected? We think not. It takes the Democrats to do this. They thus ob tained and retained the control of the House of Representatives of this State some years ago by fraudulently giving the seat in the House of Represen tatives from Starke County to one Kretzinger, who was notoriously not elected ; and they retained him in power shamelessly by his own vote. They gave the seat in Congress from Virginia to Goode in the present Con gress when their own committee de cided that Piatt was elected. The Republicans arc a live, pro gressive power. They represen t a ma jority of tho people on a fair vote, and a majority of the legal vote cast, and the' have no occasion to resort to fraud, violence, intrigue, or other Jesuitical tricks to obtain or retain power. All they ask is protection to the legal vote everywhere and then fair plai' and equal rights to all. An illegal vote is a fraud upon the sover eignty of the people. To prevent any legal voter from casting hia vote as his rational judgment and conscience may dictate, is usurpation of power and treason to the Constitution. A full, free, and unbiased expression of the public will of all legal voters is in dispensable to the perpetuation of free institutions. There must be no impediments to the free exercise of tho elective franchise. Votes must be neither bought by gold, awed by power, or intimidated by threats or violence. When the public voice is fully, freely, and honestly given it must be acknowledged and respected and full power given to it, or the foundations of our "republic will be shaken. The people are the proper and be3t judges of the right persons to elect to ollice, aud from their iionest and fair decision there should be no appeal. Inter-Ocean. -o--c- A Xocttirnnl Affliction. It was night on Boundary street. Under the silent stars the noisy cow bell clanked and clanged and jangled, while the mocking echoes replied from Angular street. And lo, while they yet jangled and clanked and rat tled there opened a door in a house, and a man stood revealed In the dim religious light of tho hall lamp. He girded up his loins and strodo out in to the night. He bulged through the gale like a cyclone, and ran over a party of leisurely travelers on the sidewalk and plunged across the street like a house a-fire, And it came to pass that while he drew nigh to the browsing cow she lifted up her eyes and beheld him. And when she had looked upon him nnd knew the thoughts of his heart, that he meant mischief, Bhe got up and fled. Aud bo uroco and pursued after tier, and gathered olods by the wayside aud emote her full sore, and stayed riot his hand until he ran into n treo box and jammed himself up, insomuch that he wailed as one having a "bile" that hath been trodden upon by some body'd elbow. And the cow, when alien she saw that he had returned from pursuing after her, went back even unto tho sumo old browsing place, and vexed tho soui of her ene my with the sound of the bell even until tho morn. Hawkcyc. Got Off at the Wrong Station. The deatbof one of the oldest citi zens of Brookfield recalls an incident in her career which happened some fifteen years ago. She was going to Stamford to visit a daughter, and took her seat in the cars for the first and only time in her life. During the ride an accident oc curred wherebj the car in which she was seated was thrown down an em bankment and demolished. Crawling out from beneath the debris, she es pied a man who wa3 held down in a sitting posture by his legs being fas tened. "Is this Stamford ?" she anxiously inquired. The man was from Boston. He was in consitierable pain, but he did not lose sight of the fact that ho was from Boston ; eo ho said : "No. This is a catastrophe.' "Oh!" ejaculated tho old lady, "then I hadn't orter got off here." This was so evident as to make a re ply unnecessary. D anbury Kcics. -s Help the Errin No man should withhold lm sup port and encouragement to bis fellow who is trying to reform against an almost insatiable appetite for strong drink. At such a time every man who is a lover of good morals should Ktand by a man and aid him in the work of self-reform. If he fails to do this, his professions of Christiani ty, and love of humanity, of a wish to see right triumph over wrong, are an abomination a cheat and a fraud. A kind word or action at the right time will save a man from himself and re store him to his family and society. Exchange. A woman writing for a Democratic paper thus describes Tilden : "The homeliness and dullness of Tilden's face is unrelieved, savo by the occasional light of a cold, yet gen ial, smile from the small, pleasant, firm mouth. Tho face, despite a rath er fresh complexion, has a washed out, faded look. Its lines betray the wear and tear of deep study, of severe mental strain, unrest and intrigue and the eager grasp of boundless am bition. The lips denote no passion, save the passion for power, and the steel-like, p&le-tlue eye flashes back no response to the enthusiastic greet ings of the men who take his hand. It is an utterly impassive, yet astute afid distrustful face, with no shade of imperiousness, but weak and mild, with the single exception of the thin, cold lips, which denote the character of the man as no other feature ever can do." The New York World repudiates theTilden programme, and, speaking of the course of Republicans and Democrats at Washington, says: "We huve never doubted that such would be the honorable course pursued when the froth of the campaign had work ed itself off, and public men, with re putations to be marred or lost, came to the front to adjudicate fairly between the contending aspirants. They will, of course, beearnestcontention. bitter wrangling, and sensational journal ism, but, in tho end, the chaft will be peacefully winnowed from the wheat." Last week the World was amonK the most intemperate of the senpational Democratic papers. What has caused tho change? They say in Peoria, that Col. Bob Ingereoll dropped into church and oc cupied calmly the pew of the nabob of the city. When the owner came ho frowned'upon Robert, but to no purpose. At 'ast the rich man wrote in large characters in thehyran-book, "I pay $2,000 ayear rent for this pew." To which Col. Robert responded in the same way, "Damn nice pew for that price!" Diversify.
