COUNTING THE VOTES FOR PRESIDENT.


COUNTING THE VOTES FOR PRESIDENT.
It Is remarkable how mon of intelligence,
fairness, and ability, In discussing the prob.
lon Of counting tho Presidential vote,
tako up theory, urge it strongly, and then
fail to point out how the theory Is to be
applied to the present Presidential difficulty.
In Tue TRIBUNE Of Monday lust corre-
spondent, over the signature Of "lIon-
tesquieu," made very ingenious argument
10 show: ]. Tint the Constitution required
tho President Of the Senate to 'open all tho
certificates" ," but that there Is no power in
TINT officer, expressed or implied, to count
the votea 2. That the Constitution intend-
cd, aud by implication directed, that 'sthe
yotcs ahan then bs counted" by Bomo other
authority; aud for this authority 10 scount +"
tllo votes ho claims tho power and duty "to
do with them (the certified votes) whit the
law empowers thom to do; they count md
dator1nine how many Electors hive voted,
and not merely how many votes have been
cast." Upon these premises tho writer thus
concludes
Ny tho Constitution ihs 11onsa ID specially
authorized to elect tho President failure Of tho
Electors to DO 10; how absurd, then, to say that
tho House must ut muto aud aen one member OF
tho Senate, body which can In no event elect tho
PRESIDENT decide lie whole question BY rejecting
Or counting votes ~ may seem good 10 hm,-a
member who esnnot put hls nnger on single llns

stttuton, that IL, to determine who arc Electors
and for whom they have voted, which IL, In eoct,
deciding who shall be President, would be con.
tsary 10 tho letter and sptrit Of tho law.
In Tuesdays TRIBUNE another lawyer
takoa tue other side Of the question, aud
stTonuously insists that tho sole, exclusive,
and absolute powor to determine all questions
is vested In tie President Of the Senate, and
his posltion ia sufficiently stated in tho fol-
lowing sentences:
