A communication was read from
George McYntrie, substituting Samuel
Josephs for him.
Mr.. Woodruff, OF Cambria, moved
that Mr.. Josephs be not admitted to a
seat.
The question was raised as 10 the
right Of q delegate substituting, and
the chair decided that any one may
substitute, subject to approval of the
convention. On the question, Mr..
Josephs said he was legally and reg
ularly appointed and was entitled to q
seat according TO the usages OF the
party, and claimed his right as dele
gate.
A number Of delegates wanted the
floor, and considerable feeling against
Josephs was manifested, when the mat
ter was ended by a withdrawal of the
substitute. A delegate then moved
that Mr.. Joscphs be excluded from the
floor, and the chair suggested that he
would do no harm, and the motion to
exclude was not insisted upon.

mere waste paper. Hence the question
must be decided by one body, and not
by two, and the decision of one body
OF the other is final and binding. There
is no room for compromise here; either
the Senate has absolute right or the House
has absolute right, to determine which are
the certificates" For this difficulty no pro-
vision whatever is made in the bill proposed
by Mr.. Morton and called up by Mr.. Edmunds
Moreover, this question, which involves all
others, should be decided before the opening
of a single certificate.
The Senate will take impregnable ground II
it asserts from the beginning to the end that
no other body has any power to instruct lts
organ in the performance of his duties. Inc
Senate can direct its President, because he Is
merely the creature and mouthplece Oh tnat
body. 1t has the power at any time 10 elecV
a presiding officer, if any necessity arises no
other body can restrain or control him. or
without impertinence advise him IN the dis-
charge of his duties. This being indisputable'
il is apparent that the Senate can instruct its
President to open as "the certificate" from
Iouisiona the paper forwarded by the Repub-
Iican electors, and make sure that he VIII open
that anu no Quiet lIOh on"' D'''e''
plaln that the Constitution clearly INTENDS that
the Senate should do in any emergency, that
which the Senate alone has power to dof
The supporters of Mr.. Tilden are making
another great mistake in encouraging con-
fict of power between the two houses. They
can appeal, with great force and perhaps with
success, to the more independent and fair
minded men of the Senate, who hold the bal
ance of power, but only if they recognize the
right of those Senators to decide. If they as
sert at the outset that the Senate has no
power, that the House alone can determine,
that its decision is binding, and that, in case
of disagreement, the House will proceed TO
elect and inaugurate n President, they throw
away every chance of success. Nothing Is
more certain than this, that the President
who has been declared elected by the Senate,
has been inaugurated with its approval. and
is recognized by that body in the appointment
and removal of officers and the making or
treaties, will be the President of the United
States, and will have the army and the navy
at his back to put down any resistance. II
the Democrats dispute the right of the Senate
to decide a question which, by the PLAIN pro-
visions of the Constitution, must be deter
mined by its presiding officer and agent, they
will not be the better prepared for that appeal
to the reason and patriotism of Senators which
is now their only chance of success.

COUNTTNG THE VOTES.


Mr. Fdmunds. no doubt, has good strategic
reasons for desiring to put the Democrats con-
spicuously in the wrong. Logically their posi-
ton will be bad enough to crafty any foe II
they deliberately refuse, upon Ovcrtures by
Republican Senate, to agree that the certln-
Gates having official character shall be counted
unless both houses decide 30 the contrary
Certainly the country will never sustain the
Democratic demand that the same House which
il TO elect a President in case Of failure to
elect by the people shall have power at any
fine TO cause failure to elect by It's sole OBJ
lection to the votes of certain States. What
over else may be conceded, that power. we may
be sure, will not be conceded by the Senate,
nor will the unwarranted assumption OF 1T be
sustained by any considerable portion OF the
law-abiding and intelligent people. Appa-
rently the object of Mr.. Edmunds in call
ing up the bill pressed by Mr.. Morton at
the last session is to drive the Democrats to
take this extreme and utterly mdetensible po-
sition. But there is not much room for adroit
tactics in grave emergency like this. Gun
ming in fence is not the quality which Will
win the public confidence. There is a right
and n wrong in the matter. The Republican
majority in the Senate, discarding all tactical
devices, ought to plant itself on the right
ground at the outset, and to stand there to
the end. Its position will be very much weak
ened if, having first proposed to submit the
main question at issue to the two houses act
ing concurrenty, it finally is compelled to as
sert the constitutional right of the Senate,
through its organ, the presiding officer to de-
termine what are "the certificates" to be
opened.
Really, that is the only question to be dis
cussed, and in the nature of the case that can
only be decided by one body. Here are two
papers purpOrting to be certificates from
Louisiana; one is known to be from the cleo
tors having certificates from the Governor, and
the other is known to be from the claimants hav-
ing no evidence of election One OF these papers
is the legal certificate of the regular and
lawful vote of the State of Louisiana. That
Is the certificate" which the President of the
Senate is bound to open. The other paper he
ia bound not to open as certificate OF the
legal vote. No construction Of the COnstitu-
tion is admissible which deDrives the State
of its share in the election because
two bodies cannot agree about It's
vote. Having cast one legal vote, the State
has right, and all the people have right
to have that vote counted, and it follows that
any other certificate, pretending to give the
vote Of that State, must DO rejected as

Not long ago teacher in one OF our public
schools was convicted of having had in his
nossession certain vile pamphlets and pictures,
which he used for the decentralization of his
nunils. The mans sentence was heavy one,
but there was probably no father or mother
in New-York who would not willingly have
aouhled il. TO be sure that their children were
safe from the corrupting influence OF such a
monster. We wish to warn them, as we have
warned them before, that there is just as cor
rupting an influence daily set before children
who pass through the streets on their way to
school, which parents appear strangely to ig-
more. We mean the fash newspapers and
cheap novels which are offered for sale to half
grown boys and girls by their venders, or
thrust gratuitously into their hands as they
pass, with the certainty that they will buy the
succeeding numbers. Very few girls and fewer
bows, unless they have been forewarned, can
resist the tempting dramatic pictures of kneel-
ing women with streaming hair, bravos armed
TO the teeth, ETC., etc. The opening chapters
seem harmless enough, and the boy or girl,
reared most probably in refined and Chris
tan home, plunges unchecked into this ofial
of kitchen literature.
These papers and magazines to which we
advert would not strictly fall under the pro-
hibiton against obscene publications, and so

tions in Massachusetts, have been purely local
and to a great extent personal contests, in
which, over and over again, Democratic May
ors have been chosen in cities strongly kepuo-
lican. This has happened frequently In Bos-
ton. This year it has happened again. Ihat
is all. We do not fancy that the late mayor
Shurtleff, who was a pretty stiff Democrat
ever for moment supposed that his electioh
had anything to do with national politlcs. H
is true that Mr.. Prince was run as democrat
pure and simple, but great many hepuDl-
cans must for reasons satisfactory 10 tnen-
selves have voted for him. We doubt II ne
thinks or would say that these Republicans
have for good and all turned Democrats.
Reform is very taking cry. All tne
cities of Massachusetts have within the recoi-
lection of everybody been reformed" after
the manner of Boston this year. 1t is not
known that any special reduction OF taxes OF
of municipal indebtedness has come OF 1t. AS
general rule, neighborhood quarrels have
been found at the bottom of these "reyou-
tions,r and this Boston business is evidently
the result of family dispute, or OF feel
ing that in the selection of local public OIL
GERS national differences should be dlsregarded,
as sensible men will agree that they ought to
be. Mr.. CASTOR, good Democrat, when he
was elected Mayor of Boston, did not make
an ass of himself by telegraphng special flap
doodle to the New-York newspapers. He
knew very we'll that the city which had
chosen him would on the first opportunity
show itself Republican in matters of State or
of National interest. So he did not slop over
in specials"
If the Democrats of Boston have elected
good, honest, economical city government,
which will not plunge the municipality any
deeper into debt than it is at present, and
which will economically and wisely admins
ter affairs, they have set good example
which we hope will be followed throughout
the land but there is no need OF cock-a-
doodle over a "victory" which could not
have been won without alliances which IN the
nature of things must prove temporary.
Meanwhile, we are curious to see what the
Boston Democrats will 10 with the ProhiDl-
tionists who helped to make Mr.. Prince the
next Mayor. This is an accession which might
produce rather queer mixture, if anything
like a mixture were possible. AT the end OF
the next municipal year these Prohibition
gentlemen perhaps will tell us how much they
have made by their little speculation.
