The Rugged Issue.

The Radical plan for Selling the Presi-
dency is for the President of the Senate
to refuse to open and count certificates
from the disputed Southern States and
Oregon, except those which are for
Hayes The y. Y. Tribune SAYS that if
the Senate presiding officer has "a doubt
as to which is the certificate from a
| e State he will take the advice of the
90 Senate"-tte Representatives to be
treated as passive spectators. WheE
this form of picking out, opening and
counting the requisite number of (bogus)
certificates, has been gone through with,
Hayes is to be declared PRESIDENT. And
then, adds the Tribune, I" all the power
- of the United States Government will
: be employed, if necessary, to inaugu
g rate that person and maintain him in
i" the exercise of Executive functions.
An attempt to ser up aay other person
g as President will not be made, because
= it would be rebellion" This means
IOICS Ii ACu1iuS " DS seen Wu6kt16T
the House of Representatives on whom
the Constitution deyolyed the duty CT
electine a President in case Of failure Of
election by the Electoral I-'iieGe. from
aGy cause, will perform the part assigned
1t by the Radical reyolutionists. From
the fact that its Committees are 81
ready at work to ascertain whether
Hayes or Tilden received majority of
the votes actuslly cast in Louisiana,
South Carolina and Florida, We infer that
the popular branch of Congress will not
abdicate its constitutional prerogative i
but will have its say in the premises
unless in the meantime a just plan of |
settling disputed points is agreed upon.
