Senate Decision on joint Rules

The Tribune correspondent under date of the
Sth, says: Another important point in the de
recton of a speedy settlement of the disputed
election was gained in the Senate by the almost
unan mous &C ton of that body in sustaining the
ruling of its President that the joint rules are not
10 force. Only five democratic senators voted no
on this motion. All the republicans and major
ity OF the democrats reaffrmed the position taken
by the senate last session. that the Twenty second
Joint Rule passed out Of existence when the SEN
ate informed the house that it would no longer be
bound by it. The only serious attempt made on
the democratic side to maintain the existence of
the rule was by Mr.. Merrimon of North Carolina,
who gled in vain against the network of ar
gument woven around him by Mr.. Edmunds, and
was finally completely hoored when his record of
last session was thrown at him.
In that session, Mr.. Mormon signed the report
of the committee on which the senate acted.
This he explained to-day by saying that he acted
hastily and without due consideration of the sub
ject. But the reading of certain remarks made by
him in the senate after the report was submitted
seemed to take away from him this last resort.
Mr.. Salisbury made short speech in favor OF
the existence Of the rule; but Mr.. Bayard, as
nigh, have been expected from his high character
for consistency, unwilling to stultfy himself for
partisan purposes, in a compact and forcible argu-
ment completely overturning the theory of Mr.
Randall and the house democrats, that a joint rule
can only be repealed by the action of both
houses. He showed that joint rule differs from
law in that there is no power behind it to
of two coordinate bodies ceases to recognize the
existence of joint rule it necessarily termi-
mates, because neither house can coerce the other
to obey it.
Mr.. Morton made Enthusiastically vigorous
argument on the same side of the question. The
only democrats who voted against sustaining the
decision of President Ferry were Messrs. Merri-
mon, Maxey, McCreery, Whyte, and Withers.
Mr. Salisbury was paired with Mr.. Cameron,
so that the whole democratic voting strength in
favor of the existence of the rule amounted to
six. Mr.. Thurman did not vote at all.
The following democrats voted with the repub-
leans to sustain Mr.. Ferry's ruling Messrs.
Bay ard, Cockrell, Cooper. Dennis, Eaton, Ker-
nan, Mcdonald, Price, Randolph, and Wallace.
This action of the senate is of the highest impor-
ance. 1t destroys the only foundation the demo
Gratis nave had for their claim that the house can
of its own motion refuse to count the electoral
vote of state.

The Oregon Trick.


The device of the democrats to steal a
republican vote from the Electoral College
OF Oregon on Wednesday was such bold
violation of the laws of the State, and
was so clumslly carried out that it does
not give its authors much comfort. The
provisions of the Oregon statutes govern
ing the matter are very plain, full, and
conclusive. A simple and brief recital of
them will show our readers that the dem
ocratic trick is as useless as it is desper-
ate.
The general laws of Oregon, (chapter
8, title 9. section co., provide that "lhe
votes for electors shall be given, received
returned, and canvassed as the same are
given, returned, and canvssed for mem
beers of Congress" 10 regard TO mem
bers of Congress, and therefore in regard
to electors, it is provided (ttle 3, section
80 that 1.-THE Governor shall grant GER
tificate of election 10 the person having
the highest number of votes" and (sec
ton 400 it is further provided that lin
all elections in this State the person hay
ing the highest number OF votes for any
Office shall be elected" There is no op-
ton or discretion allowed. The persons
receiving the highest number Of votes for
the positions Of electors were entitled to
certificates. The Governor had no power
to refuse them. What are these certif.

Tilden's Opportunity.

Samuel J. Tilden now has an excellent
opportunity to render an important service
to the public That is. to announce his
withdrawal from the dispute concerning
the Presidency. This is clearly the course
which duty points out to him. lie knows
well that the battle has gone against him.
He has no valid claim. no reasonable case
as a candidate for the Presidency. Until
the electors in the several States met and
cast their votes there was no propriety in
asking either OF the candidates for Pfesi-
dent to withdraw, but since the action OF
the electors Is known it is proper that MI
Tiden, reading his defeat in the result,
should acauiesce in the decision and end
the strife over the Presidential question.
The only possible pretext upon which he
can stand as a contestant is the Oregon
outrage, an outrage so barefaced that no
democratic Senator in Congress pretend
ed to defend it in the debate the other day
and no democratic newspaper of any re-
spectability will undertake to sustain.
We doubt if Mr. Tilden with all his
resources can keep up much excitement
over the Presidency, but il would be a
great relief TO the business and other
important interests of the country
IL he would make certain the complete
termination of the dispute by his
withdrawal from it and acques-
cence in the election of Gov. Hayes
While there is doubt capitalists are timid
business halts, the country suffers. Mr.
Tilden can at once put an end to doubt If
the word that will end all possible doubt
To do it would be the wisest act of his
life. 1t would cost him nothing, and it
would 60 far to relieve his reputation of the
tremendous blackness resting upon it for
the horrors snd Infamous acts attending
the democratic management of the late
campaign. Even John Morrissey mas had
honor enough to throw up, since the cleo
tors voted, the stakes ON the election con-
fided to his hands. Can Mr.. Tilden afford
to stand out and allow this notorious
prince of gamblers and pothouse politi-
clans to excel him in honor? Mr.. Tiden
can choose his course. What he should
do is evident to persons of common sense ;
what he will do remains to he seen.
If Mr.. Tilden continues in the field it
can be for no good purpose, and upon no
reasonable ground. His only apology for
remaining a contestant is the fraud in
Oregon; his only hope, if he has any, is
revolution and anarchy If he will
still press his claim upon so foul pretext
and with no other hope or aim than the
sacrifice of the liberties and happiness of
the country, we may well believe that he
is a second Nero, author of all the crimes
against humanity that have stained the
South in order to make him President
Whatever Mr.. Tilden may do in this mat
ter, whether he acts the honorable or dis
honorable part, Mr.. Hayes will be Presi-
dent and there will be no particular dis
turbance about it, but Mr.. Tilden has the
opportunity to act the manly part, and
we shall see whether he has the manhood
and wisdom to take advantage OF it.

conferred on them by the laws of the
State, proceeded to fill. These laws say

(chapter ii, title 9, section 59);
"If there should be any vacancy in the office of
an elector. occasoned by death. refusal to act,
neglect to attend or otherwise, the electors pres
emit shall Immediately proceed to fill by viva voce
and plurality of votes, such vacancy In the Elec-
toral College, and when sl the electors shall ap-
pear or the vacancies If any, shall have been filled
as above provided, such electors shall proceed .
perform the duties required of them by the Con-
stituton and the laws of the United States"
This is precisely what the electors did.
Their course was literally in accordance
with the law, and the law is not permits
sive but mandatory. II does not say what
may bv done, but what shall be done,
both in the case OF the electors and in that
of the Governor. The electors obeyed
the law; the Governor defied it. The
absurd action OF the man Cronin, himself
without IL shadow of title to the office Of
elector, proceeding to name couple of
his schemers as electors, and then
assuming to cast the vote of the State, is
too ridiculous for further mention.
The question of what will be done with
the Electoral vote Of Oregon is very sim
pie one. The legal vote will reach the
President of the Senate by the messenger
appointed, and will he opened as the Con-
stitution requires, aud it will "then be
