Mike Donovan, from abroad, came to
town yesterday to stake in" the "Paris
of America" and INDUCED too freely in
Cincinnati lager, when all of sudden
his legs became little queer and car
ried him in a course not at all compati-
bic with the dignity Of man. In his
wanderings he was picked up by Terry
Campbell, one Of our No. l pickpockets
and thieves, who, after taking him to va
rious saloons, tried to get him in Alber-
TIPS "OYer-the Rhine Concert" when
Lieut.. Smith spied him lingering around
the pockets Of the stranger.
BoJh Donovan aud Terry Campbell
were arrested add given lodging in the
Bremen.street Hotel gratis. Dona.
van was dismissed this morning in
the Police Court; Campbell, his new
friend, got $50 and thirty days and
walked off on his ear. Denavan had be-
tween $50 and $40, and no doubt Terry
anticipated a good haul.

Calvin Baron de Malmedy, who has
been both reporter and collector for the
Volks blatt in the city of Coyington, Ky,
has been making collections of accounts
in the above CITY, and has, in role of

charge by the paper was but 50 cents,
he, il is said, MADE out one Tor 81 20 and
appropriated The money to his own use.
Yesterday afternoon, the proprietor of

which he did and was Immediately ar
rested by officer Petit, and looked up

brzzlement How much he is short has

Nr. EdmurtS' Argument.

III the trainers of the Constitution, ex-
claims Senator Edmunds, "meant to give the
President of the Senate the power to count
the vote, why didn't they say 500" How
could they have said so, We answer, any
more plainly than they did How could
they have declared it any more distinctly
than by resolving that the Senate should
elect President for 1.-THE sole purpose oil
counting the vote? If they meant to give
the power to anybody else, why did they
pass such a resolution?
Mr.. Edmunds doesn't answer this ques-
ton. Nobody else does. lie INDUCES in
q subtle, fne-spun argument, bat doesn t
meet the plain historical facts. We do not
find laul, with MIN for contending that
Congress has power of legislation over the
subject. Indeed, we are inclined to assent
to shat position. But we believe that, re-
garding the counting of the vote to be SIMPLY
the enumeration OF the certificates without
any question as to their validity, the fri
mers of the Constitution meant that the
President of the Senate should perform this
duty, and that. i'll the absence OF legislation
it PROFESSIONALLY devolves upon him. II
Mr.. Edmunds had assumed this position he
might have kept within bounds. lie nigh
still have advocated the new bill as the
wisest and harpiest solution of the present
IMPLICATION. But when he denies all pow
er to the President of the Senate and at
| tempts to sustain this view by such fallaclou'
questions as We have quoted, he not only *
nores historical truth but surrenders some
thing of the strength of the Republican Pc
sition which he might and ought to huv'

Tie question concerning the right and
duty of the President of the Senate to count
the Electoral votes in the absence CT any
legislative provision, has ceased to be prac-
tical one. The abstract doctrine may be
arguei-one way or the other but with
the entire Democratic strength in both
branches of Congress arrayed against the eI-
istenee of such right, now reinforced by
the chairman and other influential members
of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate,
there is no longer any practical question on
the point. The surrender Of the Republican
position on that point is complete, and we
may all now as well accept the Commission.
as the only alternative to the Democratic
theory that the House (when the Democrats
control the House) may decide what votes
shall be counted, and for whom.
Mr.. Edmunds argument on this point is
the nub of his able and ingenious speech.
Simmered down it amounts to this : that in
his opinion, and as he thinks in the opin-
ion of previous Congresses, to "count" the
votes, as the word is used by the first Con-
stitutional Convention, and by the First Sem
ate, and in the declarations of the elections
of Presidents for fifty odd years, means only
to count votes in regard to which there IL no
question As Tor the Constitution, if it
meant that the President Of the Senate
should count the votes, in any sense, the
Senator deems it incredible that it should
not have said 50. That the Constitution
should have meant that Congress shall count
the votes. and not have said so, does not
surprise Mr.. Edmunds His speech and the
Electoral bill amount to the strongest kind Of
declaration of the final right of Congress
to decide the election of President, in any
case of contest or doubt. The assertion Of that
right will have more force for Congressman,
who are not to be charged, as class, with
unduiy lessening their Office. than for many
other people; and that view Of the case will
unquestionably prevail with the present
Congress. The bill will become a law, and
in future we may expect to soc every close
contest for President reduced to contest
for the control of Congress. This time the
Houses happen to be opposed in politics;
and the tribunal comprises representatives
Of both parties. Next time, with Senate
and House of one party, Congress may see
fit to omit the Judges from the Commission
and give the decision to a Joint committee
of Congress, composed wholly Of men Of one
party. 1t will be easy. hereafter, in the
light Of present experience, to get up ques-
tions and double certificates from States
enough to throw doubt upon the result, and
Congress will take the man it wants for
President.
That that will necessarily be an unmixed
evil, we do not say but We must be allowed
to doubt that the makers of the Constitution
intended that the choice of Congress should
ever be substituted for the choice Of the
PEOPLE, in the election of a President.

MR. EDNusDs Is credited with proposing
the plan for settling the Presidential contro-
versy, reported by the Joint Committee oil
which he is a member. And it is apparently
no new idea with him. In the debate on
Senator Mortons bill, for counting the Elee-
toral votes, two years ago, he said
We should provide for what is common il
mapy of the Eastern States, and is the con-
sta Mt and constitutional practice in the State
from which come-that is, on each occasion
of Presidential election, the appointment
OF q committee to be named in each house, to
be, If you please, equal in number, who
should form a single and consolidated com
mittee, the members of which, thus selected
and appointed, would presumably be among
the purest and best and most skillful in law
and politics of the members Of the two
houses that that body of people should be
sworn 10 take the returns when they are
opened by the Vice President Of the United
States and canvass them under the sanction
Of the constitution and the law that they
should apply to them the same impartial con-
alterations that they would be bound TO ap-
plv to them, had the Constitution declared that
those eight persons should form court who
should finally determine every question and
that bojy-call it a committee or whatever
you like-but one single consolidated body.
Joint committee, not acting separately
like conference cor:mittee, each represent
ing one house, but single body of eight or
nine men, should take these papers, with
the Constitution and the law before them, as
to the method Of voting and the method of
making returns, and report to the two
Houses thus assembled what the state of the
vote is. and who, according to the Constitu-
ton and the laws. has received the majority
Of the votes. That, as say, is the constant
practice i'll the State Of Vermont. | should
propose that when these eight gentlemen, if
you please. 10 acting and 50 sworn u act
impartially, according to the law, should
have made their report. that report should
be taken as the guide HI to who appeared to
be President of the United States, unless the
Houses should concur in setting it aside, in
stead Of saying, as Mr.. Morton's bill does,
that vote which has not undergone that
sworn scrutiny shall be taken, say that a
vote having undergone that scrutiny and
being allowed shall be taken or, being
rejected, shall not be rejected unless the two
Houses concur in reversing this sworn eX-
animation of men who are in an attitude to
make an examination.
