The Vermont Elector.

That one of the Vermont electors Of Pre-
sident is disqualified under that article OF
the Federal Constitution which provides
that no Federal officer shall be an elector
is matter OF no moment. The law Of that
State, like the law of Virginia, provides
that in case any elector neglect to attend the
meeting of the electors at the State capital
the other electors shall fill the vacancy thus
occasioned.
P. S.-One Of the best lawyers in Rich
mond has handed us the following extract
from Cooley on Constitutional Limitations
eff the person having the largest num-
Der Of votes is ineligible the opposing can
didate is not elected, but the election fails,
and there is no election. Cooley, Con.
Linz, Section $40.
That is to say, as the disqualified postmas-
ter was ineligible to the office OF elector,
nobody was elected, and as nobody can fail
to attend the meeting of electors, the two
electors could not elect the third.
A good point, but one that will not avail
in Vermont, we fear. t..s.- ..

How the Democrats Can Get the Vote
of Florida, &c. Counted.

United States Senator Whyte, Of Mary
land, in an interview with Sun reporter,
said:
He is confident that Mr.. Tilden has car
ried Louisiana and Florida, and probably
South Carolina, and that in spite OF the re-
turning boards the votes for Mr.. Tllden in
those States will be counted for him. The
votes OF such electors will be certified to the
President of the Senate, and copies will also
be sent to senator's. When the Senate and
House sit together to count the votes in
February one teller will be appointed by
the Senate and two by the House, who will
count and declare the votes as they are
handed to them by the Vice-PrcSident.
Should the Vice-President decline TO
produce the certificates in favor OF
Mr.. Tilden, senator may produce
copies of them and move that the
votes be counted. The Vice-President may
also decline to put this motion to the joint
convention Of the two houses, in which case
the telIers will be asked to put the motion
to vote. AS two of the tellers Will be
Democrats and one Republican, a majority
Of them can decide as to the propriety OF
putting the motion, and as the Democratic
majority in the House is large enough to
control the Joint convention it Is plain that
the votes of all the States that are really cast
for Mr.. Tilden may thus be counted. Should
the Senate withdraw and decline to count
these votes the matter will go to the House
OF Representatives for decision, as in the
case Of failure to elect by the people. In
that event of course Mr.. Tilden would be
elected President OF the United States.

More About Counting the Electoral
~, A. Jr-.z,,s~,1~ta- Ctny I Z.

from the Washington Start
Major Mcdonald, chief clerk OF the Sem
ate, who has seen forty years service in
connection with that body, and who has
witnessed the counting Of every electoral
vote since 1887, ought to be well qualified
to speak with reference to the usage OF Con-
gress in this matter. He says that from 1889
down to 1865 the usual mode was for the
two houses to appoint a joint commission,
which generally consisted OF three members
of the Senate and five of the House, to re-
port the manner in which the vote should
be counted. The commission always
recommended that tellers be appointed on
the part of the Senate and the House. In 1851
James NJ. Mason, Of Virginia, president
pro tempore OF the Senate, presided at the
counting OF the electoral vote. After it
had been counted, and James Buchanan
had been declared elected President, and
John G. Breckenridge Vice-President, re-
preventative, Humphrey Marshall, arose and
raised question Of order-to wit: Had the
president pro tenn. of the Senate the right
to declare or to decide whether or not the
counted? The president Of the Senate pro
tem., Mr.. Mason, refused to entertain the
question of order, and thereupon left the
chair and proceeded back to the Senate
chamber, followed by the members OF the
Senate, without waiting for any question to
be put to the joint meeting. In so doing
he virtually said to both Houses: "The
power OF counting or rejecting the vote OF
any State, under the Constitution, is vested
in me, and in me alone; consequently, all
objections to counting the vote OF any State
are entirely out Of order" Major Melon
aid is Of the opinion that we are In the same
position to-day, and that unless some def
mite system 10 adopted we must depend
upon the Judgment and impaltlality OF one
man alone. That man, Of course, will be
the presiding officer Of the Senate, whoever
he, may be, on the second "Wednesday IN
February.
And that man will be Senator Ferry, Of
Michigan, unless a new President Of the
Senate be chosen in December, in which
case it will probably be Senator Anthony,
Of Rhode Island.
| But Senator Mason's decision made no
change in the result, and both houses were
then Democratic. The House will next
February refuse to see the vote counted il
when the President Of the Senate comes to
| Florida, one of the first names on the list,
he tries wrongfully to count it for Hayes. If
the House withdraws, the vote cannot be
counted. The Constitution requires this to
be done in the presence Of both houses.
The House, and not the Senate, will elect a
President If none is elected by the people.
So the House has the game in its own hands.

Wade Hampton Can't be Counted Out.

There is no doubt now that Wade Hamp-
ton and the whole OF the candidates on the

handsome majority, and that the Democrats
have q majority in the House of Represent

ANXIETY of the Public.

We are gratlfed to see evidences Of I'M
easiness amongst the people of the North.
It is the first time since the war that anxiety
for the future seemed to be stronger than
party passion. It will have good moral
effect.
The mercurial and ardent South-or the
Younger portion Of them-have been too
impulsive, and have often placed the South
to disadvantage by excessive demonstration.
It was not wise to intercept, as it were, the
current Of northern indignation by south
ern enthusiasm. Now, however, the course
Of things is different from that Of any pre-
ceding period since the war, and there is
quite enough to give Roadway to deep feel
ing of discomfort at the North. We trust it
may go on gathering volume and impulse as
it goes. 1t will have most excellent effect.
1t will do more than anything else to check
the career Of destructive Radicalism.
1t is not possible that businessmen and
intelligent capitalists can be blind to the
practical injury that would follow the inau-
guration OF a minority President, espe-
cially one who would be bound by party
ties to carry out the policy OF the party
which elected him. They could not shut
their eyes TO the fact that the Inauguration
of such q man as ruler of the nation would
Danish trust and faith among the people in
the public administration and in one an
other.
| The North has suffered immensely. The
people there are tired of suffering, and
can't bear the idea Of the prolongation OF
their suferings by another four-years'
reign OF Radicalism, and that, too, against
the will Of majority Of third OF mill
lion of voters. They would be judicially
blind il they did not, under such rule, see
ahead infinite discomfort, distrust, and APP
prehension-aye and what else none can
tell, and few there are who do not fear that
unknown something.
This cause OF apprehension and dread,
we believe, viii do its legitimate work. II
| it should, the endurance Of this republic
and the peace and prosperity OF the nation
will be made to rest upon solid ground.

GOVERNOR VANCE, OF North CAROLINA
A letter has been received from Governor
Vance by MIA. NJ. Mop heeters, OF North
Carolina, now in Baltimore, stating that
Governor Vance started from home for the
Centennial, but was telegraphed to return
to Raleigh on account Of the presence in
that city Of General Fitzpatrick, Judge Set
tie, Ex-Governor Holden, and other leading
Republicans, who, it was feared by the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee, were in
conference with reference to plans that
BODIED danger to the Democracy, and would
probably have some bearing upon the cleo
ton returns. Governor Vance on this ac-
count postponed his visit to the Centennial
until the next one.-San, 18th.

Neeting of the South Carolina Cam
.,.. yaSSerS. ..f ....

,-., - vassers. ~
The State Board OF .Canyassers OF South
Carolina met at Columbia Saturday pursu-
ant to adjournment. General James Con-
ner and other prominent gentlemen were
present as counsel for the Democratic cam
didates, and presented s4ndry propositions.
The Board agreed upsh their answer in
the following resolutions: .#!
Resolved, That the Board OF State Can
vassers do not propose to canvass the re-
turns of Governor and Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, as it is of opinion that the determi-
nation Of the election OF these officers is
given by the Constitution to the General
Assembly. ~
Resolued, That the State Board of Can
vassers have the right to hear protests as to
election Of electors for President and Vice
President and members Of Congress, and to
give the certificates to such persons rs have
the highest number Of votes.
RESOLVED, That it is the opinion Of the
Board of State Canvassers that the State
Treasurer, Secretary Of State, and Con-
troller-General have the right to sit as men,
bers of this Board to hear and determine all
questions coming before them, except that
neither of the said officers shall vote upon
his own election.
The first resolution was carried by a ma
iority vote Of the Board and the two latter
unanimously. .#a
By misprint in the ticket Of the name
one of the Hayes electors loses four hun
dred votes in .Richland county, South Car
DINA, and this very circumstance might
possibly give Tilden the one vote now said
to be needed by him to secure majority of
all the electoral votes in the Union.
