Three Imnortnnt Points.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun presents these
three important points, which may
as well be kept prominently in view:
Three very important points are
developed by review of the man.
mel of counting the electoral vote, all
of which are Of essential consequence
at this time. First, that from 1893
down to 1873 the tcllcrs of the two
Houses counted the votes and hand
ed the result to the President of the
Senate, whose function consisted in
merely announcing the result. Sec
ond, that long prior to the adoption
ofthe twenty.secnod joint rule the two
Houses affirmed their right to scru-
tinize the electoral vote, and decide
upon the reception or non-reception
of the vote of a State. Third, that
the two houses by formal vote estaG-
lished decision which has remained
unrcverscd and unquestioned for DO
years, that poStmasters and other fed
cral officers are not eligible to APP
pointmcnt as electors, and that res.
ignation of their Offices after appoint
ment does not remove that inelgibil-
ity. 1t would seem as if it would
take more than any partisan ingen-
uity to get over these points. Indeed
a Gordian knot is presented to them
which can only DO cut by an entire
disregard of law, custom and proceed
ent.

Full of that devotion which 50

lv-is- uIdSfS10ou WAT VIIIs program
ME includes the election Of Senator
Sherman as President pro tempore Of
the Senate, on the Supposition that
his brother, the General Of the army,
will be more likely to back him up
with bayonets and bullets.
This conspiracy is as rank treason
to the constitution and government
as was that of JEFF Davis and his as
sociates, but is less honorable mas
much as those engaged in it seek to
cover up their treason by mock pre-
tensions to following constitutional
forms, while the conspirators of 1861
boldly ayowed their purpose and took
their positions openly with all the
consequences involved.
There is hope that the better ele-
mcnts of the party in the two Houses
will refuse to support such a conspi-
racy and thereby save the country
from being plunged into the political
maclslrom that would inevitably fol-
low such an attempt to defeat and
override the popular will, by militia
ry force, but it is by no means GER
tain that there is an Independent,
conservative force there sufficient to
ward of impending pcrils To our
mind the situation is very critical,
II is evident that the conspirators
are determined that nothing shall
thwart them in their reasonable
purposes, and it is equally evident
that Grant is ready and eager to
sustain them with The whole military
force ut his command, in the hope
that strife and bloodshed will afford
him an opportunity to hold on to
power and impose himself upon the
country as a military dcspot with
his Babcocks, RobeSons and Chand-
lers as his prime ministers. Unless
powerful restraining influence is
brought to bear by the better ele-
ments of the republican party-the
business men and property holders
of the country, the conspirators will
push on their reasonable purposes
until the four millions of men who
elected Tilden will be forced to deter
mine between submission to an ad-
ministration based on palpable
frauds and corruption or a conflict Of
arms. We earnestly hope and pray
that such dread alternative may
not be forced upon US, but, in our
judgment, the danger Is so immiu.
ent that it is time to look it square
ly in the face and prepare to meet it.
