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.' "

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.

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.

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!"

gest that you diversify in future, for
