THE PRESIDENT ELEOT,

N. Y. Sun: Samuel j. Tilden, our
President elect, is in many respects one of
the strongest men who have been called to
that office by the people. For eight years We
have had as President a man ignorant of the
science of politics, and with that quality of
stubbornness which oftentimes accompanies a
circumscribed intellectual capacity and amind
unframed to reasoning. Before him We had
Andrew johnson, who also suffered from the
lack of mental discipline and the studious
habit of philosophio political thinker. Be-
fore him was Abraham Lincoln, a political
genius aud a man cast in far larger than
the ordinary mould.
Mr.. Tilden in the character of his mind
suggests Thomas Jefferson. He has been
from his boyhood a close political observer
and careful political student. He has the
ability, SO essential in Governor, of grasping
questions in their breath and also of taking
them in their details. His legal experience
has been that of counsellor in grea. opera
lions rather than as pleader of routine law,
yer. His clear head. astute perception,
sound judgment, common sense, and rare
executive capacity have been priced by the
organizers of corporate enterprises of the
country, and he has for years been accus.om>
ed to deal with operations vast in their scope,
and requiring for their intelligent manages
ment exceptional power and skill.
There is not man in the country more
familiar with the history of our politics, the
diversified interests of the country, its public
men, and the tone of the people of the differ
ent sections, and who has more mature views
in regard to them, than Samuel j. Tilden.
He is essentially conservative man. No
one need fear any rash experiments under his
Administration. No ono need tremble at the
possibility of his making assault on the results
achieved by the war. He is also man who
is capable of using tho strong points of his
Hdversaries to his advantage, and incorpora-
ting what is sound in their policy in that
which he will himself pursue. We foresec
for Mr.. Tlden an Administration which will
be conciliatory, but not yielding, and doubt
not that his career in Washington will be un
disturbed by rancors, and unembittered by
enmities except such as he shall invite from
individual officials whose corrupt practices he
shall expose and punish.
MIR. TiIden will go into the White House
with noble ambition to win lasting fame as
the President who harmonized country dis
tracted by sectional luminosity, who made
stronger than ever the bonds that held to-
gether the Union, and who helped to swell
the tide his of countrymen's prosperity. His
aims arc s.atesmanlike build, and his training
we'll fits him for the high place to which the
people have elevated him. Samuel j. Tilden
will doubtless 20 down to history as one of
our strongest Presidents.

WAS THERE RBPEATING9

Was there any repeating in our last Pres.
idential election 1t is question of some
importance for, generally speaking, what has
been done once may be done again. 1t YVES
thought that the whole vote Of the county
was polled at the State election on the 10Th
of October, when the two candidates for gov
ernOr received 2,T52 votcs-174 more than
were poIled for aud against the Constitution
In 1872 But on the 7th of November the
whole vote for the Presidential candidates was
2.99S-mOre by 246 than were polled on the
10th of October, and more by 42O than were
po!ied in 1872. The heated contest for the
SheriffaIty, occasioned by Mr. Sublette's re-
fusal to abide by the action of the County
Nominating Convention, it was urged By that
gentlemau's friends, would have the good
effect of bringing all the voters of the county
to tho polls; and, consequently Jefferson
county's big Democratic majority on the 10th
OF October would render the victory in tho
State more signal than it would otherwise be,
The argument sounded somewhat plausible at
the time; but unless there was some repeat>
AnS III OuI last eIecIlOn We see that Z4O men

were our candidates for the Sheriffalty doing
that they permitted ZIG men, of whom lis
were Democrats, to remain away from the
polls during an election which, it was thought
by the whole country, would have an i'm
portant moral effect in deciding the grand
Presidential contest that was so soon to fol-
low? We can scarcely think there was any
repeating. Tho punishment under our
election laws is very severe, and the
danger of detection, We should think.
would deter even the most reckless. But
perhaps the prOpriety of SO amending our
election laws as to compel every man TO vote
within his Own district may DO we'll worthy
the attention of our Legislators, elect. Such
an amendment would certainly render re-
peating, in thinIy settled country like ours,
almost impossible, aud would be attended by
comparatively little Inconvenience to the
voter.

THE PRESIDENTIAL COMPLIOA-
TIONS.


In pursuance of the order of the Supreme
Court of South Carolina the board of cam
Tassers entered upon its duties at Columbia
last week, by first canvassiug the vote for
presidential electors, five gentlemen of each
side being present to witness the canvass
The count was completed on Saturday, the
vote having been taken by counties, aud APP
pears to indicate that all of the Hayes electors
have been chosen by majorities ranging from
two hundred and thirty to eleven hundred
and thirty>three, or an average m.jority of
six hundred. This result, il is claimed by
the Democrats, was procured by a falsifca-
tiOn of the precinct returns after they passed
into the hands of the county canvassers The
counsel for the Democrats Immediately fled
exceptions to the count The matter will be
finally passed upon by the Supreme Court of
the State 1t is stated that Hampton's ma,
jority over Chamberlain for Governor will be
about liza.
The Louisiana returning board to canvass
the returns of that State at New Orleans was
to have begun yesterday, though, according
to its secretary, only thirty-fve parishes had
up to Saturday fled their returns with him,
and twenty-five parishes were yet to arrive.
The board invited fre gentlemen from each
party to witness the canvass for presidential
electors Mr.. Pinchback requests the cor
respondent of the Baltimore San to state that
IT the present returning board is recognized
bod hTyN ~ Il
States, he will Immediately again present his
application for admission to that body, net as
before as Prima fdcie case, but as case
resting on its merits. Senators Edmuuds.
ChFistiaucy and other Republican Senators
voted against Pinchback's admission bSeause
they held that the Legislature which elected
BIN was not legal body, but as PiDchback
says, the returning board was chosen By the
Senate of the same Legislature which elected
him, and If 1t was competent to elect the 9TH
er it was competent to elect him. Thus an
other grave difficulty will con front the Re-
publican Senators when the issue of the cleo
toral vote of the State comes before them.
In Florida it seems conceded that the DEM
ocrats have carried the State Offices, but both
parties still contest the presidential ticket.
The Democrats have unofficial copies of the
official returns which were made to each coun-
ty Immediately after the election. These un-
official returns give the State to the Demo
Gratis OF beth the local and national issues.
As all of the county returns have not been
officially received. however, the Republican
majority of the board of caqvassers have de-
clined to commence the count of such county
returns as are in. The Democrats hold that
this delay is Intentional to compel the Repub>
lican Governor to issue certificates of election
20 eIeetOrs without CANVASS when the 9th
of December arrives, or to open the canvass
at SO late day that there will not be time for
fair discussion of the frauds involved.

ticket, but were going to vote for Tilden this
time"
Reporter ''Why does Packard claim
majority in this State ?''
Piaehback Well, he claims it, but God
knows where he is going to get IL, for if the
returns so far received are correct, the Dem

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

Electors meet at their respective State Cap
itals on the first Wednesday of December, of
the years in which they were elected, vote
| by ballot for Prcsidcut and Vice President
and transmit record of their votes to the
President of the United States Senate A
law of Congress provides that the electoral
vote shall be counted by the two Houses in
joint session the second Wednesday in
February next succeeding the meeting of tho
electors of President and Vices President.
The question has arisen IS to whether what
has been known as the twenty second joint
rule of the two Houses is now in force. 1t
provides that the President of the Senate
shall be their presiding officer. No votes
objected to By either House to be counted
In case of disagreement the Senate retires,
and both bodies deliberate on the admission
or rejection of the vote of any State In case
they agree on re>assembling the vote is count
ed, but in case they are divided the vote is
not counted. Such arc provisions of the rule
in question, but il is denied that there is any
such rule now in force. n Washington cor
respondent of the New York Tribune says:
democrats here have asserted that in case
the election of Gov. Hayes should turn upon
accepting the vote of South Carolina the
House would object, and under tho twenty
second joint rule, which provides that if
either House persists in ohjectIng to receive
vote of any State it shall not be received,
they would prevent its being counted, and
thus defeat the election of Hayes. Several
similar cases have formed the subject OF dis
cussIon here. 1t liz, however, fact, though
not generally known, that thus far the Forty.
fourth Congress has not adopted any joint
rules. Each Congress cnacts its own rules
The practice has been at the opening of the
session to pass resolutions adopting the rules
OF the previous Congress. and generally such
a resolution passes as a mstter of course. At
the last session, however, the House adopted
the rules, the Senate failed to CONCUR, and
consideration of the subject went over under
an objection to present consideration by Sen
ator Edmuuds. AS final result the session
closed without adopting joint rules, and the
twenty-second rule fell with the rest This
lett the joint convention for counting the cleo
toral vote without any rules other than the
constitutional provision for its meeting aud
the opening Ofthe ballots by the President of
the Senate and the counting of the same"
