NEW YORK, Dec 10.
A Iribuae's Washington special
says: Much discussion on the presi
DENTAL ENHANCEMENT has proceeded
upon the assumption that if the Senate
would concede the r~ightfulness of the
claim of the House to reject the vote
of any State, the whole question would
be settled at once. This is an errone-
Gus idea. Behind the disputed point to
power, joint and separate Of the two
Houses over the counting of the
vote, there is another of equal impor-
lance and equally involved in doubt.
1t il this: In case of the vote Of one or
more States be not counted, does the
election go to the House of Represent
atives or Is the candidate having a ma
jority of the remaining votes elected ?
There are no presidents throwing
light upon this point, and the Ian
guage Of the Constit ution, although
affording more warrant for the latter
conclusion than the former, is open to
doubt as 10 its construction. 1t is evil
dent that in the present condition of
party feeling, If the result of the cleo
ton should hang upon the decision of
this question, each party would insist
upon the construction which would
best subserve its own interests. Above
all things, the Republicans agree with
the Democrats that each House has a
right to reject the vote of a State. The
House would, Of course, throw out

the Oregon vote for Hayes, he would
have 1877 votes and Tilden lG6. Tho
Republicans would hold Hayes to be
duly elected. but the Democrats would
insist that it was a case for election by
the House, and would proceed to elect
Tilden; thus by another road the
