The Consrclonul fuunf.
If tho people of the United Slates do
not understand by this tinu- all the
complex machinery of Electoral Col-
legea, and t7l mode In whkih the
votes of the erectOft of thoN dllforent
Rtatea shall b Wanted In Coiiirrexii on
the second "Wednesday nf February
next, It is not because there ha not
been a large amount of writing upon
the subject. We cannot open a lead
ing exchange from any purl of the
country without finding hi it from
one to live or six columns on Electoral
Colleges and the counting of the vote
in the presence of the two Homes of
Congress. .
The Hon. Clarkson N. Totter, of
New York, has seen fit to make a
large contribution to the electoral
llterature'of the times, and to tell the
people and Congress exactly .what
must be done when the matter of
opening and counting the votes for
President and Vice President comes
before the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives. In the long and labored
letter which Mr. Potter has published
lu a New York paper In regard to the
duty and province of Congress in
counting the electoral vote, there is
not anything new, or peculiarly strik
ing. ' It contains a resume of the pro
ceedings of Congress in such cases al
most from the commencement of the
government till the present time, and
if. may be valuable to some as a letter
of reference. Rut the document of the
New York lawyer derives Us chief 1m-
, portance from the fact that it is sup
posed to have been dictated by Gov
ernor Tllden, and outlines the course
which will be pursued when the votes
for President and Vice Prosl dent shall
come to be counted by Congress.
Some time since, it was hinted that
the House of Representatives would
not attend on the day appointed by
law for counting the vote, but Mr.
Potter speaks authoritatively upon
this subject, aud seems either to have
complete control of the Democratic
members of that body or to have con
suited each one as to what ho would
do on the second Wednesday of Feb
ruary. "The House of Representa
tives,'' says he, "will not refuse to at
tend to fcthe counting of the electorul
vote. It will permit the countiug of
every vote which it may judge lawful
to be counted; and no vote can be law
fully counted without its concurrence
or against its judgment and direc
tion." This is a very strong assertion,
and a plain declaration that the House
of Representatives, which has a large
Democratic majority, shall rule and
do as it sees fit in the matter of count
ing or rejecting the vote of a State.
If the vote shall be counted according
to the direction of the Democrats of
the House, then the person who shall
have a majority of the electors ap
pointed by the several States shall be
President, and the Democratic party,
r.s such, shall recognize him as the
Chief Magistrate of the nation. This
is a plain declaration that the votes
must be counted as the Democrats shall
direct, else they will not recognize the
person as President of the United
States who may have a majority of the
votes of the electors appointed and
duly certified by the proper uuthori-
ties of tho respective States. If the
language of Mr. Potter means any
thing it means this, nothing more
nothing less. That we may not do
him any injustice we quote his exact
words: "Whomever, by tho vote so
counted, Khali appear to have the ma
jority of all the electors appointed will
be President, and will be accepted by
the Democratic party as such; and
whomever, if no President be so
chosen, the popular branch of the
government shall then, in duo form,
choose to bo President, will be so ac
eepted by them; and it will be those
who may sec fit to resist the executive,
thus lawfully elected, who will be de
fying the law."
The constitution of the United
States says: "the President of the Sen
ate shall, In the presence of the Senate
and House of Representatives, open
nil the certificates and the votes shall
then bo counted," no matter whether'
Republicans or Democrats may object.
The languaro of tho constitution is
mandatory, and confers no discretion'
ary power in the matter of counting
the vote upon any person; all the
certificates must be opened by the
President of the Senate and be by
him counted, or' else by whoniesoever
he may appoint. But Mr. Potter as
aumes that votes which the Democrats
may consider fraudulent and object to
shall not bo counted, boldly declares
that the House of Representatives
shall decide the whole matter, as it
alone has judicial power in tho case.
Now very good Democratic authority
asserts that tho counting of the vote
for President in tho presence of tho
Senate and House of Representatives
is purely a ministerial and not a judi
cial act.
We suppose tlvat no person will call
in question the soundness of the New
York jSW Democracy, and it evi
dently does not agree with the views
advanced by Mr. Potter. It is very
sure there is no authority or power
which can object to the counting of
the vote of any State which may be
tent, within the time prescribed by
law and duly certified, to the Presi
dent of the Senate. The appoint
ment of Eleotoral Colleges la commit
ted entirely to the States, and their
certificate, when duly certified by
ihe Ktate authorities, "become by
iorce of tbe constitution the tola and
mi
WW WW Mil
exclusive legal evldenco' that those
States cost their votes for certain can
didates. . The Sun adds:
"It cannot bo, therefore, that the Authority
Ofto reilde any whore to try any qneitlon, or
to find any fact, that Is to warrant the two
Houses in rejecting the votes of any Electoral
College of whose authority to give those votes
the State through I In constituted authorities.
tins legally Informed Congre, All suoh
(UCiaion and all such flu-ts It belongs to the
pro)HT authorities of each Stiite to try and
tltrmlne, before the portions supposed to be
rlinsnn electors aro assembled to give their
votes. Any attempt by the two House or
either of them, to go behind the certificates
and to determine tho right of tho electors to
give Mil votes which they havo cortlflod,
when the Htnta has decided that right by its
competent authorities, will lend to conclu
sions In which the people of this country
will not acquiesce."
There Is plainly a wide difference of
opinion between Mr. Totter and the
Sun In regard to the power and
authority which the two Houses of
Congress can exercise in counting the
vote for President and Vice President.
According to the latter, Congress can
not go behind the certified vote of any
State, but, according to the former the
House of Representatives can do as It
pleases In the matter. We are certain
there Is no such power, as Potter
claims there Is, vested In either branch
of Congress; if there were it would be a
dangerous thing for the country.
After all the writing we have had on
the subject neither Republicans nor
Democrats are agreed among them
selves as to the power possessed by
Congress in counting the Presidential
vote.
The Great Question.
THE POWKR OF CONGRESS TO REGU
LAR!:, SITKRVISK AND DICTATE
Till: ELECTION OFTHE CHIEF
MAGISTRATE.
Cincinnati, November 24. The
Commercial editorially says: "Before
committing themselves utterly to the
doctrine that the Congress of the
United States has power to regulate,
supervise and dictate the election of a
President, the Democratic leaders
should take a look at the whole situa
tion. General Ewing proposes In case
the electoral vote of Louisiana is re
turned for Hayes, to send out an in
vestlgatlng committee and take test!
mony, with the view of contenting
that vote in Congress. Then suppose
the Senate sends out a commltteee to
Kentucky to look into the informa
tion of the so called Presidential
election In that State. Louisiana has
the same rights in the Union that
Kentucky enjoys. Her State govern
ment is as legal as that of Kentucky
Her methods of determining how her
electoral vote is to be cast are no more
to be called into question than those of
Kentucky. One State is as sovereign
as another. If one House of Congress
has a right to go behind the record of
the vote of one State another House of
Congress has a right to go behind the
vote of the record of another State.
The House might find that Louisiana
is infested by dishonest men, who are
suspected of dealing unfairly with the
people. The Senate may find that
though the local affairs of Kentucky
are exceptionally well managed, the
solemn regulations made by the Con
stltution for electing a President arc
utterly disregarded in that State. If
Louisiana can be pitched out why not
Kentucky or any other State? Let
us not depart from the plain path
marked out by the Constitution."

The Democrats Check In Congress.
In the present House of Representatives
the Democrats have a trustworthy majority
of at least 73 votes. The majority they
held during one lono: session, in whioh
they claimed that they had won the confi
dence of the people, and since the recent
election they are continually boasting of
tneir "popular majority." Hut judging by
the complexion of the next Congress,
the degree of popular eonfidence in the
Democratic party is not suoh as to justify
muoh, boasting. Their great majority is
eut down till it cannot exoeed a round
dozen, and may be less. Indeed, so close
was Ihe vote in some of the districts now
conceded to them that it was for some time
doubtful if there wae a Democratic mnjorily
in the House at an. Their first losses were
In the October eleotions when they lost 4 in
Indiana and 6 In Ohio. These were fol
lowed In November by the loss of 2 in Cali
fornia, 1 In Florida, 0 in Illinois, I In Iowa,
1 in Kansas, 4 in Massachusetts, i in
Michigan, 4 In Missouri, 1 In New Jersey,
in Oregon, 7 in Pennsylvania, and 1 in
Tennessee.
These results would be accepted by any
party not infatuated with pride and obeli-
racy as a stinging rebuke. The country
could not readily tell a party In a more con
vincing fashion that they had not met its ex
pectations than by reduoinga majority such
as the Democrats have in the current Con
gress, to the pitiful margin which it will
have in the next one. Nothing could bear
more directly on the judgement of tho peo-
f ile regarding the conduct of the majority
ast session than this remarkable change in
Its proportions. New York Times.
A New Orleans correspondent
writes: Of the fifty-seven parishes In
the State forty have been officially
heard from. They show a Republican
majority of from seven to eight
thousand. There will be contests in
regard to at least twelve and perhaps
twenty parishes, but they will not
come up until! the districts In which
there is no contests havo been tils
posed of. This is in accordance with
the State election laws. The count of
the uncontested parishes will be fin
ished in about three days, and then
the disputed ones will be considered.
It is thought that they can be gone
through with in seven days, and that
by tho first of Deceniber an official
announcement of the vote for Presi
dent ond Vice President can be made.

SWAYNES OINTMENT
HOME TESTIMONY.
I was sorely afflicted with one of the most
distressing of all diseases Pruritus or Pru
rigo, or more commonly known as Itching
Piles. The itching at times was almost in
tolerable, increased bv scratching, and not
unfrequently become quite sole. I bought
a box of Swayne's Ointment; its use gave
quick relief, and in a short time made a
perfect cure- lean now sleep undisturbed,
and I would advise all who are suffering
with this distressing complaint to procure
Swayne's Ointment at onoe. I had tried
prescriptions almost innumerable, without
finding and permanent relief.
