We now proceed to state what. in our
opinion. the Constitution means by
counting the votes. 1t is to be noted
that the Constitution commits the
choice of a President and Vice-Presi-
dent, in the first instance, to Il body Of
electors, who are to be chosen in each
State as its Legislature may direct,
These electors are to meet, to vote. and
to make and sign and seal up ii certiti-
cate of their votes. These Instruments,
denominated in the Constitution " the
certificates, are to be transmitted to
the President of the Senate sealed. "
They are, in our opinion, not merely
prima facie, but they are conclusive
evidence that the Electoral Colleges of
the States from which they come gave
the votes which they purport to certify.
We can conceive Of no reason why

There is now scarcely n doubt
that previous to the late election
President Grant had fully deter-
mined that if neither TiIdon or
Hayes were elected without the
vote of South Carolina, Florida
aud Louisiana, he would 50 man

the issuance of legal certificates to
either TiIden or Hayes electors,
and on the pretext that neither
was elected, claim the right to

election Of Hayes electors, Grant
can keep Hayes electoral vote be-
low the necessary 1856.
By law the electors in all the
States were required to meet yes
tesdoy Dec. g. in their respective
States, aud to vote for President
aud Vice President, Delays in
counting the returns of Louisiana
and Florida have been purpo8eIy
made, and no one will be surprised
if it turns out that no official Ger
ti6cntes Of the election of either
TiIden or Hayes electors wet1
given in one or ia both Of these
States, in time to have enabled the
electors to vote yesterday.
Caleb Gushing, the attorney Of
the conspirators, has already an
nounced the possibility Of the ar.
rival of tue 4th of March without
any official declaration of the re-
suit Of the presidential election,
and that 10 that event it was his
opinion Gen. Grant would hold
over. Ben. Butler, who at first
secuted such an idea, as involving
palpable usurpatioD, has since
visited Washington, and now con-
ours with Gushing.
It is probable that the question
is no longer TiIden or Hayes, and
that it il TiIdcn or Grant, A few
weeks will determine whether we
have a Union aud a Constitution,
and whether We shall have peace
or war, There is no doubt that
the masses Of the people, @omn-
cratic and republican, ardently de-
sire and hope for peace and Their"
is scarcely any doubt that in or
der to secure peace the American
people must meekIy bow their
heads, and allow Grant to trampIe
them and their Constitution under
his feet. As there is yet some love
Of liberty and Of country left, the
chances are all in favor of war.

A WORD TO GOV. KELLOGG.

For more than week the city has been
ringing with complaints and indignant pro-
tests against the nefarious system of robbery,
perpetrated daily and hourly upon the peo-
pie who come to sew Orleans to invest their
earnings for the year, or to spend some time
in pleasure seeking. The men who are en-
gagged in this business popularity known as
ported from Western cities, but are all
perfectly known to tie police and to large
numbers of our merchants whose customers
have fallen victims to their wiles. There is
scarcely policeman in New Orleans who
does not know these men by some of their
many aliases; there is scarcely merchant
but has suffered severely by them; there is
not hotel that is not infested by them, and
it is no longer cause for wonder that the peo-
pie, almost despairing Of obtaining redress from
the proper authorities, have determined to
put sudden stop to an evil which has
assumed such formidable proportions as to
threaten to leave our citizens themselves at
the mercy Of powerful and organized gang
Of plundere1s who are undisturbed by the po-
lice, who snap their fingers at the law, and
who laugh at the indignation of the people
Gov. Kellogg, you have it il your power to
put an instant stop to this shameful and noto-
rious evil. 1t rests with you to say whether
these men shall be summarily elected from
the city in twelve hours or whether they shall
be permitted to continue their depredations:
One word from you no,o will cure the
trouble and prevent much serious trouble in
the near future There is an ominous muir.
muring in the air which BODIES no good for the
men who stirred up the indignation Of the
community. There is hoarse and angry
muttering among the people. that suggests
the memorable period ante bellun, when the
people rose against the thugs, because then
as now, the authorities were silent, though
the streets nightly rang with the groans of
dying men-of men struck down by the hands
of daring assassins. Mr.. Kellogg the power
to act is yours, the time to act is noc.

DRAWN PREMIUM BONDS.

On the 18th inst the premiums, amounting
to $50, 600, were distributed by lot among the
holders of the premium bonds of the drawn
series, consisting of 5000 bonds Of $50 each.
The premiums drawn were 1l76 in number,
or 1000 of $40, 100 of $50. so of 500, 20 OF
$500, ) of $1,000 and of $4,000. After the
| drawing of the series, and previous to the
distribution Of premiums, the city held 3Soo
out of the total 5000 bonds drawn. These
were worth for their face value, at $50 each,
SIC, 0O0 besides so cents interest on each
bond. They were worth, in addition, an
average chance of drawing $40 in premiums
on each bond, the chances on the $500 bonds
held by the city being worth s3S, 900.
The city offered these bonds in exchange
for any bonds except premium bonds, and
after due advertisement the bids were opened,
when it was found that old bonds amounting
to $50 $50 were offered for SAB. 6S6 in pre-
MUM bonds rated at par, or $40 for each
bond. The bidders valued their old bonds,
as offered, at about 20 cents IN the dollar,
counting the drawn premium bond at par, or
the old bonds would then bring if put upon
the market in large sums. 1t was clearly
az ainst the interest of the city to accept these
bids, as was suggested in the BULLETIN OF
December oath, and they were very properly
rejected The city consequently retains her
share of the drawings, including interest and
premiums, which amount to nearly S120, 600
with which, at the rate of 80 cents in the dol
lar, $500, 900 in old bonds may be bought up
and Cancelled, thus effecting an entire re-
demption and cancellation of nearly tiftieth
part of the city bonded debt with an expen-
dAure of only sl5O,OOo.
We perceive that an ordinance, No. 1864
was adopted January Is, by the Council, pro-
viding IS follows
That in all cases where proposals for the
exchange of bonds have been received and
rejected. bids shall again be invited either
before or after the distribution OF premiums,
for exchange of bonds or for cash, as the case
may be, and all such subsequent offers may
include the undrawn premium bonds on the
same footing as any other bond.
Ttat the commissioners of the consolidated
debt be and are hereby instructed to adver-
tise for sealed proposals, for the sale to the
city of $3.50, 600 of old and premium bonds.
This ordinance will have the effect of bring
ng the undrawn premium bonds up to nearly
he same rates as the average old bonds.
After this practical illustration Of the work. |
ng OF the premium bond system Of gradual
liquidation, there need be no hesitation in |
it success, provided the Lesis.
ature and the courts do not interfere. The |
ity being prohibited from contracting any |
lew debt, it is apparent that every dimiou-
ion Of outstanding city paper by payment
nd cancellation increases the market and in
rinsic value of what remains unpaid. The
,lan, therefore, benefits even those who do
lot participate in it as we'll as those who do.
I generally accepted, it would have the
fleet of giving long and much needed res
ute to our over burdened tax payers.

Really Gen. Grant does owe something to
the Union soldiers, for ne acquired his fame
by pushing thousands of them into the jaws
of death. 1t took the blood of a good many
"boys in blue to make President Grant and
he should give them at least few OF the
places in his gift. 1t looks badly, however, to
see him loading the Washburne family with
honors and giving J. Russell Jones, Marshall
Campbell and other parties who kept in the
rear during the war. all the creamy offices
they wants. Louis Times

It may be disloyal to say it, but we are
firmly Of the opinion that there is one thing
worse than rebellion, and that is corruption
A country that should become thoroughly
corrupt, being farmed out, as it we're, by a
political party for the private benefit of its
leaders, would be improved by a healthy re-
beliion. It would be better to be struck by
lightning than to be sunk in a cesspool of
corruption. 1t is more sensible to cast off a
limb than to die Of gangrene. - 81. Louis
