gave notice that he would call it up and
urge its passage. We hope the senator
may succeed In his efforts to get this bill
through congress, but we fear he will
fall. Even Morton will, in all probabil {.
ity, Ego back" on his own measure. since
its adoption would be fatal to the presi-
Dental prospects OF MIR. Hayes and would
secure the success Of Mr.. Tilden.
Mr.. Morton's bill provides that the two
houses shall count the electoral votes /;
that where there is objection to receiving
the vote of state, the two houses shall
vote separately on the question, as un-
der the twenty-second joint rule, but
that the vote shall net be thrown out ex-
cept by the concurrence of both houses /.
In this 1t differs from the twenty-second
joint rule. under which the Republicans
counted the votes in 1868. 1869 and 1872,
and which provided that the vte of a
state should be throwii out on the objec-
ton OF one house. Ia this feature tho
bill will meet the appreciation of the Re-
which will make them denounce it a. a
bill in the interest OF Mr.. Tilden.
1t provides that where two or
more sets OF returns come
up, each claiming to be regular, az Tor
instance in the case of Oregon or Louisi-
ana, the vice-president shall open both
or all, and they shall be submitted to the
two houses, and If they cannot agree as
to which return shall be received both
shah be rejected and the vote OF the state
shall not he counted. II the electoral
vote were counted in February under
this bill. Oregon. Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina would all be thrown out,
and the house would elect the president.

THE DILEMMA OF THE REPCBLI
CANA

Our Republican friends are in a d.
lemma. In any event, the record they
have made on the subject Of counting the
electoral vote will condemn them.
In the first place. The Republicans, in
their desire to throw out Democratic
states. adopted the twenty-second joint
rule in 1865. That rule provided, that
when an objection was made. in the Joint
convention, to an electoral vote, the
houses should separate, and each, in its
own chamber, should vote upon the OBJ
lection. Ifeither house decided TO sustain
the objection the vote should be thrown
out Under this rule so votes =. acyeral
states were thrown out upon the objection
of only one OF the houses. Under this rule,
and without re-adopting It.. congress
'"''d .or some ,cais. n..s not
adopted ~ the congress mat me-
after the one that adopted il, or by the
next one, but was held to be in force by
the Republican party, and was acted
under by both houses Of congress.
In the second place. As soon as the
people made the house of representatives.
democratic, the Republicans declared
that the twenty-second joint rule was not
in force-.hat, being Joint rule, il fell
with the congress that had adopted
it and was dead; that therefore, the OBJ
lection of the house to a vote was not
sufficient to throw it out that the presi.
dent of the senate was the counter
of the votes, and that his duty
was simply ministerial, he
having the right to count the votes, but
not the right TO go behind the certificate
OF the governor OF state.
In the next place. When the COVER
nor OF Oregon gave Cronin, a Demo-
cratic elector, certificate of election, and
CrOnin voted for Tilden, then the Re-
pnblicans claimed. that the president Of
the senate might go behind the great seal
of the state, and determine whether Gro
min had right TO vote for 1llden, and
that neither Of the houses had the right
to object to his decision OF this ques-
ton.
In this way the Republicans have
been driven from every position they have
assumed. and have been compelled TO
admit by their actions, speaking much
more truthfully than their words, that
right or wrong, they are going to count
Mr.. Hayes into the presidential Office.

RADICAL ATROCITIES.


Our Republican friends who desire to
learn the truth--the Republicans who
held up their hands at the Eliza Pinks-
ton outrage-should not fail to read the
testimony given by colored Democrats
before the congressional committee now
in session at New Orleans. It shows the
shameful outrage TO which Democratic
cOlored men are compelled to submit.
On Saturday last, after several negroes
had testified that the Republicans had
shot them, cut them and otherwise bull
dozcd them, a colored man named
Pompey Stools appeared Oh the stand,
and held up his left hand to be sworn.
Mr.. jerks, a Republican member of the
committee. asked him why he did not
hold up his right hand, when the follow
ing interesting eolloquy ensued
Witness: ! can't. sir: they hit and
shot me in that arm, ana have lost the
use of il.
Mr.. jerks: Who did:
Witness: Republican negroes.

cratic ticket.

its way to Ashtabula. and judging from

surprising to see the ease and accraey Of
its man:pulations.
Mr. Smith will gladly furnish patro ms
