the House discusses the same questions,
and arrives at different results, it can
either attend at the counting of the votes,
or stay awayor attend at the beginning and
secede. What the House does wall make
no legal difference whatever in the validi-
ty of the formal opening and counting re-
CURED by the Constitution.
When that counting takes place the Pres
dent Of the Senate will, in the language
of the Constitution, "open all the certih-
Gates" but he will not open any unneces-
sary and worthless pieces of waste paper
Ii he has any doubt which is the certIh'
cate from "A State, he will probably act
upon the opinion of the Sena.e. Debate,
during this proceeding, is not in order
If the House, or some members OF it, or
some members of both Houses, choose to
90 out, they can do so. Counting is
purely clerical function in this case. Any
page can perform it as well as any Sena-
tor. 1t consists in adding up two columns
of figures which the President of the SEN
ate has announced The responsible duty
is ended when the President, having de-
termined which are 1.-The certificates from
the several States, has opened them. NO
formal announcement OF the result is re-
quired by the Constitution. That supreme
law simply says that the person hav-
Ing received a majority OF the votes
shall be President" All the pow
er of the United States govern
ment will be employed, if necessary. to
inaugurate that person and maintain him
in the exercise of Executive functions.
An attempt to set up any other person as
President will not be made. because it
would be rebellion,
In brief, then, the deliberate opinion of
the majority of the Senate, after invest-
CATION and discussion, will prevail, for
such are the provisions of the Constitution
that nothing else can prevail. If there
has been wrong done in any Southern
State, we hope and believe that majority
of the Senators will see it and declare it
wrong. If the certificates are held by
majority of the Senate to be in accordance
with law, and expressions Of the popular
will, there will not be pleasant time for
any revolutionary madcap, in the House
or elsewhere, who attempts to resist the
decision.

From the New York Tribune,
What will HapDen,

Certificates purportng to be electoral
votes showing 1875 votes for Hayes and
Wheeler. and 206 votes for Tilden and
Hendricks, will be forwarded by messen-
gers and delivered to the President of the
Senate. Of these, 10 votes from Alabama
for Hayes, and 10 from Florida, South
Carolina and Louisiana for Tilden, will be
forwarded by persons who have not GER
tifcates of election from the proper State
officers. From Oregon, 8 for Hayes will
be forwarded by persons two of whom
were declared elected, and 3 for Tilden
will be forwarded by persons only one of
whom was declared elected. Any lawyer
will decide that the one person was not le-
gally elected, and that one claimant cannot
outvote the two unquestioned members in
deciding upon his right to sit in the col
lege.
President of the Senate will be select
ei-probably Senator Sherman of Ohio
He. being duly informed of the names of
messengers appointed by legally authoriz-
ell electoral bodies, will probably refuse to
receive as electoral votes the certificates
forwarded by other bodies. If thirty-fiye
citizens had met. at Albany or elsewhere,
without warrant of law, and had forward
ed pretended certificate giving the cleo
toral votes OF New York to Peter Cooper,
1t would be the business of the President
OF the Senate TO refuse to receive as cleo
toral votes the certificate from such per-
sons.
The Senate will Investigate the disputed
cases. Within month probably the evil
dence will be placed before the country
Thereupon the Committee ON Privileges
and Elections will probably report certain
resolutions. advising the Presidan' OF that
body that it is his duty to open the certiii-
Gates from certain persons as the true elect
ors of each disputed State. These resou
tons will be debated in the light OF all evil
dence collected by returning boards, parti-
san committees and committees of the two
Houses. If a sufficient number of republi-
cans and Independents to constitute, with
the democrats, majority of the Senate,
believe that certificates from republican
electors in either State should not be
opened. it is probable that the President
will act upon that conclusion. and that the
republican candidates will lose the votes of
that State. 1t will be natural and proper
for the President of the Senate TO give
weight to its judgment, both because he
is It's officer and because the Senate shar-
ing the Executive power, no person can
be President without its recognition. If

A FalsehOOd Answered.

10 tie Editor cfMe HenneJee Journal:
The following quotation from democratic pa :.
per in this State it seems TO me contains as much
that is false as could need be put into one brief
sentence. "a very large proportion of repub-
cans in this vicinity admit their belief that Tilden
was honestly elected" For cool impudence and
lying, this assertion deserves the medal, if medals
are to DE given as a reward for lying. Tilden
honestly elected Oh no No republican believes
that; or that he is elected at all, or that be will
ever be declared elected by fraud, murder, assassin
alton and usurpation Every intelligent republ
in this vicinity believes, but for such crimes
against law and humanity South Carolina, Mis-
sssippi, Louisiana and Florida would have given
Gen, Hayes large mrjorities, and that New York
and Connecticut were carried for Tilden only by
fraud. Republicans in this vicinity think it ii
becomes men who look for the election of Tilden
by such brutalities as the evidence discloses to
have been committed in South Carolina and Lou
isiana, to talk of frauds. The Tilden democracy
may murder men women and children by day and
by night-institute general reign of terror
shoot and mutilate husbands and fathers, in the
presence of their wives and children-takc babes
from the bosoms of their mothers, and beat out
their brains in the mothers prcsence-burn their
humble homes over their defenceless heads, drag
men over the rough ground by ropes noosed about
their necks and then attached to horses until they
dead, their bodies literally torn to pieces, in
order as their circular says 70 demonstrate their
powei-and commit other like barbarites in CON-
parison with which the scenes of st. bartholomew,
of Glencoe-the brutality of the Turk and the d.
abolish Of Capt. Jack and his untutored savages
pale, and it is called reform.
But when the government interieres to protect
the innocent victims of this barbarism, its acts
are denounced as fraud, usurpa,ion and outrage
To carry the South solid for Tilden all the crimes
above enumerated, the evidence discloses, have
been perpetrated. And now on our streets, we
hear it announced, and by men who ought to
know better, that if such means are not to succeed
If by this process Of assassination the shot gun,
pistol bowie-knife, arson, Tilden is not declared
elected then and in that event streets will

stIoyed the freedom of the ballot, it is now the
purpose of this democracy to delugc the land in
blood iftheir great wrong and fraud on the liberties
Of the people. and the destruction Of the freedom
of the ballot, is not consummated by declaring
| Tiden elected. The republicans of this Vicinity
are in favor of both fair election and fair
count. By the results Of such an election and
such count they will abide. SIS
