II IL Done by Both Houses Of Con.

OpinAOh.
From an Interview in the Herald.
Reporter-Do you think, then, that the
two Houses must agree on the votes before
they can be counted?
Gen. Butler-If any instrument says that
A and are to do th!ng-for example, to
make an award or enter judgment-can
A do it without B or do it without A ?
If both Houses are to count by the Consti-
tuition, can one count without the other ?
If so, which? If our Republican friends In
Louisiana, in their letter, had claimed the
right in the President of Senate to adjudi-
cate as to the propriety or rightfQlness Of
the electoral vote when they made the claim
that he was to count them / should have
thought it very significant; but as they
have insisted that he is merely machine
or clerk to register what may be sent him,
I do not think the Democratic party will be
likely to be much moved by their manifesto,
which certainly leaves the President of the
Senate about as harmless piece of clock
work as could we'll be imagined, 1t being his
only duty to tick out what is placed in the
wheels. l believe that whoever has the
counting of the vote in the last resort to
determine an election has right to scruti-
nize that vote, ascertain its legality, its fair
ness, and truthfulness, and whether it repre-
sents in the case of vote by proxy, as the
electors are, the will of the people who are
their constituents. All that, of course, cam
not be done by the President of the Senate,
and therefore must be done by the two
Houses. If it can be done by the Presi-
dent of the Senate then the most alarming
strids against the rights of the people has
been taken when the claim is made that the
President of the Senate is to count the
votes

KILPATRICK'S LIES.
HOW THE "BI.ooDY SHIRT AND. MONEY"

HOW THE "BLooDY SHIRT AND. MONEY"
CAMpAIGNER sTRETCHEsTHE Truth.
Fitzpatrick, the "bloody shirt and money
campaigner, wrote letter to the New
York ''Times' in relation to the election
in North Carolina, and Mr.. P. Donan, ed+
itor of the Raleigh Sentinel" exposes
some of his falsehoods in the following
neat style: . ni,,,,1.. .5",
Alluding to the methods by which the
Democracy carried the election, he says :
"What saw on Tuesday last, and what l
heard since, horrity me''-thus conveying
The assurance to the gullible Northern
reader that he was an eye witness on cleo
tion day Of the bogus horrors, be pretends

reached Raleigh after dark Thursday ey-
'ening, sneaked to the hotel on foot, did not
register as respectable traveller should,
stayed closeted with the Radical grand
danjandrums all night, and slipped off on
the first train Friday morning. ".
He says "Fraud, treachery, and intimi-
dation are the means by which this State
has been carried against the Republican
party" The fact is that there was not
single disturbance, not single quarrel in
the whole State frem the mountains to the
sea on election day. The lie is clinched
by the feet that one of the speakers at the
Democratic jolifcation over the result was
W. r. Richardson, editor of the Raleigh
Constitution" the Radical organ OF the
State, and he declared himself and his
party "fairly and honestly whipped"
He says: ''Col. Ike Young, Radical can
didate far Congress in this district, found
the polls at Henderson's barricaded, anl
was refused permission to enter and act as
challenger" The legal number Of chal-
lengers were already at their posts, and
Col Young had no right to ask to act in
such a capacity. But the question Of ad-
hitting him was put to vote of the poll
holders. A tie was the result, when R.
II. Young, magistrate and registrar, and a
brother of Col. Ike, cast the deciding vote
in favor Of his admission; and he officially
