The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1876-12-19

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun presents these three im-
portant points, which may as we'll be
kept prominently in view: 8a
Three very important points are de.
veloped by review of the manner of
counting the electoral vote, all Of which
are Of essential consequence at this
time. First, that from 1893 down to
1873 the tellers OF the two Houses coun
ted the votes and handed the result to
the President of the Senate, whose func-
ton consisted in merely announcing the
result. Second, that long prior to the
adoption Of the twenty-second joint rule
the two houses affirmed their right to
scrutinize the electoral vote, and decide
upon the reception or non.reception OF
the vote Of q State. Third, that the
two houses by formal vote established
q decision which has remained unrever.
sed and unquestioned for 40 years, that
postmasters and other federal officers
are not eligible to appointment as cleo
tors, and that q resignation OF their Of.
fcers after appointment does not re.
move that inelieibilisy. 1t would seem
as il it would take. more than any par
tisan ingenuity to get over these points
Indeed, a Gordian knot is presented 10
them which can only be cpt by an entire
disregard Of law, custoMand precedent

From the n. Z. Evening Post, Qnd) Dee, IL

candidate for that Office, on, the ground
that one OF the Republican candidates,
the late Postmaster Watts, was ineligii
ble., ,fdto$, aa,rsi3s
Whatever differing theories concern.
ing that decision may be entertained,
this much is plain: The same theory
must be applied to all cases. 1t will not
do to make various laws for various
States. II it be held that when the votes
come to he counted in Washington the
certificates may be inquired into further
than is necessary to ascertain their gen.
uineness, that rule must be impartially
applied. II, as we have inclined to be-
lieye, the appointment Of electors is q
purely State matter, and il there is no
Epower to 90 behind the authentic cer.if-
Gates OF State officers, that rule must be
Iimpartially applied. II the Democrats
insist upon inqniring into the proceed,
fings Of the Louisiana Returning Board
they cannot prevent the Republicans
from inquiring into the proceedings Of
the Oregon Governor On the other
hand, II the Republicans insist that the
authentic action Of the State is conclu-
sive in Louisiana, they must admit that

The Case Of waller r. staple,
From the Baltimore Gazette.J

lcEOA tue 0ukcttH.I
When Mr. Sargent arose in the Sen
ate and thanked God that some centen-
nial Of this republic had passed before
witnessing such scene" as the commits
sioning of the Democratic elector in Or.
egon, he returned thanks not devoutly
cut erroneously. The same thing has
been done several times One notable
instance was the case OF Waller R Sta.
Piles, Of Virginia, who was elected as .
Bell and Everett elector.s But upon an
examination Of the ballots it was dis.
covered that some Of the tickets were
printed Walter R. Staples. The intent
Of the voter here was unmistakable. II
was not, as in Oregon, an open disro
gard OF law. nor a willtnl blindness to q
matter OF fact. 1t was d printers blum.
der Of single letter, and yet the gov.
ernor Of Virginia declined to certify the
election Of Waller R. Staples, and Ger
tilted the Breckinridge elector having
the next highest number Of votes. In
doing that he did his 9plain duty. A
governor is required by the constitution
to certify the election Of the man hav-
ing the highest number Of votes. He
has no right to infer the intentions ot
voters, nor 60 amend defective ballots
The case is q much harder one than tha,
Of the n Oregon elector. Mr.. Sargent
ought to retract his gratitude to heaven
