The Joy Of the People.

However the election may terminate, we
cannot regret the iubilant temper OF Thurs
days Dispatch. 1t was a true reflex OF the
popular mind and spirit. We would that it
could have been spread upon every north
ern breakfast-table that morning. II would
have told the North how iubilant the
southern people became when they were
told that TILDES was elected. Their re-
ioicing was not merely partisan. They had
been detained for ten years in oppression
and anxiety, and the moment OF liberation
had come, as they believed. Their feeling
was one of relielfrom bondage-the bondage
of submission to arbitrary power exercised
in spite Of the Constitution and laws framed
for their protection. 1t was, furthermore,
to them the announcement Of their deliver
ance from miliation-humiliatio Of the
soul: humiliation ingeniously and wick
edly intended to crush the spirit and con-
vert freemen into slaves. To be delivered
from such misery brought shouts from the
hearts core and tears OF JOY from the
eyes. rg,
A cruel depression for such people it
was that threw the result in doubt; and
we never have felt more panied than
when we were unable to cheer the despair
ing feelings OF men who had deemed that
they were free. We had no positive news.
We cannot think that such hopes were born
to be extinguished, and shall not despair
ourselves until the ship goes down and the
sea closes above her.

account oil a fraudulent pretext w hen thar s'i
was deemed the most effective course.
Everybody understands that this system
Of fraud is suggested or connived NJ In
Washington by the Executive, and also by
the Radicals In Congress. The emphasis
with which these things are said II. the
.carnestness Of sensitiyeness excited by
wrong is proof Of sincerity IN those who
say them.
Il In other days people had no fear Of such
q thing as classifying the records. That was
q party sin and outrage unknown In public
affairs. When an election was narrowed
down to single county or State everybody
was satisfied that the vote OF that county or
State would be fairly reported, and could
not be diverted from the men for whom the
people voted.
! Those times are gone. Fraud now, pro-
vided 1t Is In the right direction, Is openly
and shamelessly approved at Washington;
nay, processes Of fraud are concocted inthat
city, and by the Federal Government sus-
tanned and forced upon subiugated peo-
pie.
To the impartial and intelligent traveller
the things that are happening are far from
creditable to our Government, and greatly
increase the causes OF discomfort and the
deep desire to change the administration of
the Government from those who have it to
honest and capable men.

The doubt thrown upon the result OF the
Presidential election yesterday by the unex-
pected freak In Wisconsin depressed the
spirits OF the white people and at the same
time excited high hopes amongst the Radi-
Gals. Nearly the whole of that party are ne
groes. The effect OF the excitement was
especially marked IN their conduct. The
crowds gathered in and around the Dis
patch Office, previously almost exclus lively
white, were yesterday strongly rein
forced by Africans. They waited pa
tiently to hear the news, and were very
orderly during the day. What they
are to gain by the election of HAYES
it would be impossible for any but parti-
san to state, while certainly they would
share in the good effects OF the election of
TnDEN: the revival Of industry and enter
prise. This comes directly home to them.
That the country cannot be kept down we.
know; but under Radicals the restora-
ton Of confidence and prosperity is obliged
to be slow. Their personal administration
has destroyed all trust in them, and it would
be the most fatal blow to the best interests
should Radical triumph place in Radical
hands the administration OF the Govern
ment for four years longer. This thing we
do not believe viii happen. But our colored
friends having been filed with the hope
that the party which does them tine greatest
injury win gain the victory, 1t was yester-
day plain that they meant to see it out.

Colorado.

The Democrats have lesson in the case
OF Colorado that conveys moral that may
be advantageous to them at some future
day, and should be instructive to politicians
generally. But for Colorado being State
the election OF TnDEN would be to lis here,
on Thursday, placed beyond peradventure;
instead OF which we are on the tenter-hooks
of anxiety.
Why should they have admitted Colo
RADIO She had not the first claim to consid-
Grafton in asking for admission among the
States. She had nothing like the popula-
tion to give her the dignity OF State. Why
should Congress admit her?
That is the point. And there the Demo-
cratic members slipped up-we are sorry
to say not without guilt. The cunning re-
representatives. of the community OF specula-
tors no doubt satisfied the Democrats that
the State would give a vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency; and we
have as little doubt that the same represent
atives assured the Republicans that Colo
RADIO would vote the Republican ticket. In
this view, which we are sure is correct, the
admission Of Colorado was corrupt. In the
game the Democrats lost. AS is generally
the case, the most INSCRIPTIONS sweeps the
stakes. Let all parties beware OF Colorados.
The only safe course is to do what is
right.

Tho Result--Once More.

i i 81
To avoid confusing the readers mind, LOT
us say In advance that though this ss the
fsrse editorial in the Dispatch Of this morn
ing, Il is the one last written, and is based
upon the latest news. Z.
First, 1t may be set down as absolutely
certain that Louisiana has voted for TILDES.
Her vote would elect him II counted for
him and it can hardly be possible that In
the fierce light now beating upon the Radi-
cal leaders in that State, they would dare to
attempt TO nulliiy the win Of the people.
Louisiana's vote, then, viii be counted for
T1LDEN and will elect him.
Secondly, IL seems almost IL not entirely
certain that Florida has cast her vote for
TILpgs. We are strongly inclined to the
opinion that there will be no attempt in
Florida to cheat the people. Her vote,
then, will be counted for TlLDEN, and will
elect him.
Thirdly. There Is q possibility that Ore
gon has gone for TnLpEN. 1t is simply inn
possible that the returns from that State
have all been received. 1t has Demo
cratic Legislature, Democratic Governor,
and Democratic congressman, and issnatu-
rally Democratic State. Forthese reasons
we are not prepared to abandon the hope
that Oregon has cast her vote for TILDEN,
and thst it will elect him.
The vote OF any one OF these States Is all
that is necessary to TLDEN's election.
On the whole, it does seem as If there
were no room for single doubt as to TIL
DENIS election. Whatever doubt remains,
If there be any, is founded upon the vii
lainy Of his opponents. This doubt is small
indeed in our mind.
South Carolina appears to have elected
the gallant HAMPTON, but to have cast hei
vote for HAYES. We do not claim that State
for TILDEN.

A Sad Reelection.

To the foreigner looking on at the scenes
OF our election and hearing what the peo-
pie say, 1t must appear that our Govern
ment ia not one altogether respectable.
The very moment It was understood that 1t
rested with three southern States to settle
the question OF who shall be President
there was q general expression Of doubt in
the fairness OF the returns In those States.

Iaose returns had their instructions, and

Turns when that was necessary 10 carry

willingness of the House to concur in the pro-
posed repeal, the tricksters OF the Senate
committee hit upon plan by which they
hoped to secure their object. Following
this out, they pretended to have suddenly
discovered that the precedent set by the
House respecting its own rules applied
equally to the Joint rules, and SO on. jan
uary Goth they passed q concurrent resolu-
ton adopting the Joint rules excepting
the twenty-second. The House evidently
held that the joint rules remained IN force
until rescinded, and so. took no action on
the concurrent resolution OF the senate.
There Is thus controversy between. the
two houses on this point, and: no one can
NAV lead to when the joint session convenes
in February. a,.. VI.
The Republicans assume that they will
be able to enforce their position. Sup
posing this to- be the case there is
nothing directing the count but the consti-
tlltional injunction that the President Of
the Senate shall, in the presence OF the
Senate and the House of Representatives,
omen an the certificates, and the votes
shall then be counted.'' A communica-
ton in yesterdays, paper says that the
Republicans reference on Saturday last to
this provision seems to admit that the
president of the Senate. &c can count just
what returns he pleases." That is, not
the point. The Republican, said that
the Constitution "seens to giye". him
the power to "read Just what returns
he pleases." The struggle will be- in the
first place, to keep the RETURNS from certain
Democratic electors from being read to the
joint session at all, although, failing in this,
the reYolutionists may afterwards endeayor
to prevent the counting. But the first effort
will be to constrae the Constitution so as to
give the Vice-President the ministerial or
Judicial power of deciding what be will
read and what he will not. There'i is no lack
Of evidence that this is the programme.
The Washington correspond dent Of. the New
York Graphic teiegraphs that Gin the opin-
ion Of experienced parliame ntarians,
under this article Congress win have no al.
formative but the admission and count OF the
vote OF every State which comes properly
certified by the Governor OF the State"
The only returns which will be contested
will be from States which now have Repub-
1ican State governments. so that the fraudu-
lent returns sent for Hayes and Wheeler can
be given the form OF validity by the Gov
ern0Fs certificate. The Constitution re-
qliires the president OF the Senate to
open all the e certificates" and It VIII

does not require him TO- open any docu-'
sments except those which bear the outward
form OF lawful certif cates. The, Demo-
cratic electoral return from Louisiana, for
instance will he cast side dis. lacking this,

House, offered the following: 3a a-.
Resolved, That the resolution Of the
House Of Representatives, presented this
day in the following words - "Resptved
by the House Of Representatives lthe Senate
concurringl That the sixteenth and seven
teenth Joint rules be suspended for the re-
mainder OF the session "-be respectfully
returned to the; House Of Representatives
with the statement that, as the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES has not notified the Senate
of the adoption Of Joint rules Tor this pres
emit session, as proposed by the resolution
of the Senate of the Goth day Of january
last, and transmitted to the House OF Rep
resentatives on the 22d day OF the same
month, there are no joint rules in force.
And this resolution was unanimously
it seems that the House took no action
upon the resolution OF the Senate renewing
the Joint rules, except the twenty.second
joint rule, which regulates the manner OF
counting the electoral vote; nor did the
House take action on the resolution Just
quoted, but assumed that the old Joint rules
were in force, while the Senate early held
that the Joint rules continued only during
the concurrence OF the two houses, and that
no Joint rules were In force. :,
Upon the main question, whether either
House can recede from a joint rule adopted
by q previous Congress, have no doubt.
Each house has the constitutional power to
adopt its own rules OF procedure. No 'au.
thorlty Gun limit this power, except by q.
change of the Constitution. The rules Of
the House.do not bind its successor unless
acquiesced in or adopted by It. An act Of
Congress approved by the President cannot.
bind subsequent House as TO its rules and
order Of business. Joint rules are but the,
concurring opinions Or rules Of two indie
pendent bodies, and cannot bind their sue
.eessors or prevent either House from reced:
mutual amity and .conYenie fence, to- con-
tinue which both parties agree to them,
and to be reyoked taE the pleasure Of either.
ANY other principle would destroy the In.
dependence Of the espectiHe houses. W bile,
therefore, lam clear that the Senate had the,

| twenty-second?
The action of the House on August Il,
| 1876, by proposing to the Senate to suspend
| Joint rules sixteen and seventeen, SHOWS
conclusively that in adopting on December
| 7, 1875, the rules of the House OF the Forty
third Congress-except special rules i66 ana
H7-it did readopt the joint rules, for said
rules were the rules Of the Forty-third
| House, and provided among other things
for Joint committee on the library, the
enrolment of bills, the presentation of bills
| to the President, conference reports, pro-
hibiting the sale of liquors in the Capitol
building, and the announcement to each
house of bills passed by the other; In the
operation of which rules the Senate con-
Cured throughout the first session OF the
Forty-fourth Congress by its almost con-
slant joint action in perfecting legislation
by the very terms Of these Joint rules, and
by no other.
Third. Was it necessary for the Senate to
adopt the joint rules to make the action of
the House operative? II 1t was, did the
Senate take such action? -. ,,,.,.fg,5t, :.
The answer to the first portion OF this
question is that the Senate, being a per-
petual body, and having joined with the.
House for years " in acquiescing in the
rules" from one Congress to another Con-
gTeSS, WlCuOuC any Special t,aluElutIlft az
ton, it is not believed that 1t was necessary
for the Senate to readopt the joint rules to
make the action Of the House operative.
The Senate, however, on January 10th, con-
trary to its practice heretofore, did readopt.
all of the old Joint rules except the twenty
second, which answers. the second portion
I Of the question. ,,,.,t, -.
p Fourth. What report was made by the
Senate Committee on Rules on Mr.. Ed
munds's resolution, introduced December .pe !;
18th? = - -, -, ..si Il -;
ION January 10th Mr. Hapllin, from the
commi ttee, reported In favor OF readoptlng
all the Joint rules OF the two houses, word
ing the resolution so as to require the con-
cuITence Of the House, Mr.. Morton moved
to exclude the twenty-second Joint rule:
which was agreed to-, aud as amended the
resolution! for the adoption Of all the Joint
rules but the. twenty-se was sent to the
House ON january 22d, where 1t remained
unacted on hin the Committee on Rules,
which regarded the Joint rules as in force
The point that the Senate made, that the
House did not notify it Of the latter's re-
adoption! OF the old Joint rules, does net
hold good in the face Of the old-time acqut.
essence in the joint rules when the form Of
notification was deemed unnecessary. ..stssE-
This is the situation between, the two
houses. Congress will have to simplify it
when it meets in December, or else Invite
trouble in the joint session In February.
