UNBANA, ILL.,, Dec. 25.-Many persons, for
reasons doubtless satisfactory to themselves,
must have formed opinions upon the great Ques-
t!ons concerning tho canvass OF tue Electoral
vote. What power has Congress on the sub
jcct1 And who shall count the v0to2 haye
sect much interesting discussion In tho columns
Of your valuable paper, Of which I am daily
reader, upon this important topic. Anything
sntd by me, one unknown to futne, may not aug-
Qcst any new ideas, but will ut least furulsh tho
rcasons Of ono Of the peopla for the conclusion
reached by him upon these questions, which
may or may not be Of any interest to your many
reallors, which leave you to determine.
These questions can only be properly deter
mined by arriving ut tho intent Of tho Conatt-
tuition itself. THIS intent should be derived
from the language Of that instrument, II posat-
bic without construction, but II not, then by
giving tho Constitution q fair md reasonable
construction as whole.
The language Of the Constitution In tie mat
ter Of tho choice Of Electors seems 80 plnln Us
to leave no room for construction. "Each State
shall appoint, In such manner as tho Lcgtsla-
lures thereof may direct, q number OF Electors
equal to the whole number Of Senators aud Rep
rvBentatiyos to which tho state may bo entitled
III the Congress. Tho Congress- may determine
the time Of choosing tho Electors and the day
on Which they shall etvc their votes" And hero
the mntter ends, leaving tho appointment Of
Electors wholly for tle several 6tatea to deter.
,nino by Legislative enactment. Congress or
either HOUSE eau hays nothing to DO III d.
termtntng who ia or who Ia not au Elector, for
tho reason that thoY are not vested by tho
Constitution with tho power Of Judging.
Ii tht power had been 30 vested,
tho iramess Of tho Constitution would
have tgone step further, and declared
that intention. Tho true inquiry IN constituting
MI Instrument Is to arrive at the intention Of
tho makers thereof, and to do that 1t ls y we'll
l.nnwn rula OF the law OF construction that tic
wIsulc OF tho instrument must bo looked to,
anil mt simply one particular clause, sentence,
section, or article. In tue application Of this
rule zee that paEt Of tho Consultation providing
ior the election OF Genaturs lni Representatives
which expressly provides that each iiouse shall
