MIR. Manton Marble, in al able letter, clearly
demonstrates that the two houses Of Congress
have the sole right Of counting the electoral
vote, but is vastly mistaken 10 his belief that
the mass Of the radical voters will not uphold
the President Of the Senate in the twofold
wrong-usurpation OF authority in counting
the electoral votes aud injustice in counting
them" When they uphold, to the extent Of
nominating, by reclamation. Tor the Senate,

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY, JANUARY S. 1871.

There are three opinions respecting the cause
Of the present attempt Of the radicals to re-
tain possession Of the government. One Is that
they really believe that Hayes has been legally
and fairly elected, and are conscientious III their
efforts to have him inaugurated ; aoothcr ls,
that they have been induced to make it BY the
close vote aud the consequent possibility OF
success 10 q contest; and the third, that 1t Is
the result OF we'll laid and prearranged plan,
and would have been made even had the dem
ccra,ic msjorities been overwhelming IN the
row disputed States. That the latter is the
correct one IS rendered more than probable
when We remember the expressions of some OF
the leaders oil their party previous to the cleo
ton. Senator Boutwell,, in his speech 10 the
Massachusetts radical convention. last Ssptem-
Der, said
IF Gov. lideu is declared President by the
two houses OF Congress in February next, his
advancement will BE- due toa usurpation as IN
sccupu.ous and as bloody as that by which Ma
poleon III. passed from the presidency OF
France to the throne and title OF Emperor OF
the French. This is the grave question which
now concerns the country. This Is the ques.
ton o! questions which the American people
have never been called to consider ull noW
whether by and through an usurpation begun
ard carried on ia States by organized bodies OF
armed men the government OF the Uolted
States can be seized under the forms OF law by
the leader Of q minority.
What u. S. Senator Boutwell,, the white
radical leader OF Massachusetts, said was ez-
pressed 10 more perspicuous language by John
Syphax, the negro radical leader Of this lmme-
diatc neighborhood, when he told the meeting
he was addressing shat There was enough
between the IDS O: lie Constitution to pre-
vent Tideu's Inauguration even if ne should
be elected Now these and similar ideas,
enunciated by promiuen. radicals throughout
the country preceding the election, when cou-
sidercd in the light Of what has since hap
pened, are certainly sufficient 10 induce the be-
lief, il not 10 coDtrm It, that the plan to count
in Hayes was determined upon long before any
votes were cas-; for hitu, and THAI it vii! De
persisted in while there is ! possibility OF its
success. Ii they Succeed COW, when their
forces arc partially llsorganized, how much
more easily will they accomplish I similar
coup 10 1880, when they shall have had time
to effect thorough discipline aud complete
organization? Ii the Northern democrats ever
are to resist them, now is the time, tor four
years hence resistance will DE foolish i'm
possibility.

graphed to Washington to have the
Custom House removed at once from
Sitka as is was in the possession of
diabolical spirits. Whether this
scene was gotten upby FatherWhiski
ofski to scare his visitors, or whether
it was reality, is in doubt. Capt.
Seldom however is of opinion that it
was real, and in support Of his
belief, relates that in 1868, while
stationed at Astoria, the cutter
was lying in Young's river, from
whence a short walk would enable
one to reach the settlement. This
path led by an old burying ground
where old John Day lies buried, and
whose spirit to this day, is said to
walk the earth. One night Capt. then
Lieut.. Selden had occasion to 60 to
town, and was cautioned about "Old
John Days ghost" but made light
Of his friends advice. He says that
just as he approached the gate to the
hurying ground, the moon went be-
hind cloud, and there came forth
from among the graves a most un.
earthly groan. He says he hardly
touched the ground, he rather flew,
and made the best time ever known
from John Days grave to Astoria,
where he arrived minus his hat, and
his hair standing up as stiff as shoe
brush. His Astoria friends assured
him that the noise was made by a
COW in the burying ground, but the
Capt. is strong in his assertion that it
was old John Days ghost, and that
the Sitka demonstration was quite as
certain.
The "Banner Of Light" CORES
pondent says that the Indians were
much alarmed and sent messengers
to all the neighborng tribes to come
into Sitka and join the Greek church
and that the effect produced is very
marked. We are perfectly willing
to wait till we learn little more
about this Sitka spiritual story be-
fore we place implicit confidence in
it, but if it is true, we must admit
that Capt. Ssldon's visit in the VOL
colt has been productive of good.
