The most significant expression OF the
day in regard to the Presidential difficult
ity is the inaugural message of the new
Governor of New York. Speaking tor
the leading State in the Union, and pre-
sumed to speak not without the concur
renee of Gov Tilden, his words are
worthy of more than ordinary considera-
ton. He says:
The Prpsi lent of the Senate is three re-
moves from the people: if such power
were 10 have been vested in Il single man, d
depository would have been CHI sen not SO
far removed from popular accountability
But the people of this country will never
vest such a pow er in any 0:e man, howeY-
tr selected. They will never consent TO
new construction of the constitution ana
and laws chat bears such fruit
In this sentiment and purpose the State OF
New York cordially concurs. Foremost
among all our American Comm wealths IN
population, in the variety and extent OF hei
! industries and Interests, she has in every
| yiscissitude of public affairs put forth al
! her strength, moral and physical, to mann
! tain the existence and the just authorities OF
| the [ Union, and she can never consent tha
| the time-consecrated methods Of constitu
tional government shall be supplanted OF
overthrown by revolutionary eNpedients.
They will stand firmly on the anelen
WAYS and insist that the electoral votes il
this emergency shall be counted as they
have always been counted. by the two
houses of Congress, and by nobody else. IL
conclusion. he says the people of the United
States will never consentto have their repre-
sentatives in Congress stripped OF those pow
ers, or tolerate this u>urpation by deputy
of the Senate, or by any single person, ant
still less by an officer who is frequently IN
terested as a candidate in the result of th'
count.

Florida.
T.. BARKsDALE.

The heather Chinee Returning Board
in Florida admitted the jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court of that State and
made pretense of recounting the vote {:
but in order to elect Hayes it rejected
the honest return of Clay that they had
unanimously counted before, and ac-
cepting palpable fraud from Baker
that they had unanimously rejected.
The order of the Court was that all the
returns should be counted on their face /;
but that would have given the State to
Tilden. What the Court will say in re-
spouse to this palpable violation of its
order remains to be seen. In the mean
time, Gov. Drew, (DemocraD having
been duly installed is expected to play a
part. After verifying the returns he
will doubtless issue certificates to the
fairly chosen electors, and devolve
upon Congress the duty of deciding
whether the Tilden majority shall be
counted out or not.

The President, in referring to the
Presidential question in Congress and
the existing differences between the two
! Houses as to the mode of counting the
Electoral vote, and as to their respective
powers and prerogatives, said he had no
disposition to Judge the case, but as a
matter of opinion it appeared to him as
if the question Of his successor would not
be disposed ofby the time of the expiration
of his term of Office, at noon on the 4th
day of March, 1877, at which time all
power and authority vested in him would
cease. To his mind the law and pre-
oedents gave the President of the Senate
the power to open and count the vote,
but that precedents also established the
right of either House to object to the
counting.
Referring to a decision on the EIeeto:
raj vote of State, the first instance of
which occurred in 1917, in the case OF
Indiana, which it was declared was not
legally admitted to the Union The
vote, however, was counted
In that oase, as has been the uniform
practice since the two Houses separated
and took action in their independent ca
pacity, it appeared to him as if one or the
other of the two Houses in Joint Conven-
ton, in the count of the Electoral vote
on the 4th of FEBRUARY, would early fall
into an objection to the count of votes of
some States, which would lead to sep.
aration of the two, and when this is once
commenced it would be difficult to say
where it would end. He very much fear
ed, IN such an event, the less than three
weeks intervening between the counting
and the expiration by limitation of the
present executive term would be reached.
in which case, in his opinion, under the
Constitution and the act of 1892, the
President of the Senate would become
the Acting President, and would be
sworn in as such. So far as he, {. the
President" was concerned, his power
would cease, but in other respects the
other branches of the Executive Govern
ment, referring to the Cabinet officers
would continue uninterrupted that a full
investigation of this subject by his Judi
cial advisers, as wellsas by himself, made
it clear that all Cabinet officers
were appointed till a successor was
appointed, except Postmaster General

Will add, critical, moment, Lt.-Gov.
Davis resigned his office. Since that
time the charge has been made by Re-
publicans that his action was procured
by bribery. In plain words, that he was
paid $500 to resign. A matter so vitality
affecting public morals and the integrity
of the public service, cannot be ignored
by the Legislature. Davis was an officer
of the State at the time the transaction
is alleged to have taken place, and that

POLITICAL NEWS.
Senator Ksayard's Views.

The broad ground taken by Senator
Bayard in regard to the counting OF the
electoral votes seems to strike many of
the Democrats favorably. He holds
that if Congress refuses to go behind the
seal of State, the Oregon vote must be
counted as sent in by Gov. Grover.
Should Congress 90 behind it, then the
Tilden vote, as sent in from Florida,
with the certificate of Attorney General
Cooke attached, must be counted. In
addition, this Florida certificate will be
reinforced by the action of the Supreme
Court, as a quo aUarranto will in a few
days be issued compelling the other State
authorities to verify the action of the
Attorney General Moreover, Gov,
Drew who comes in under the new count
on the 1st of January, will materially
aid the strengthening of affairs in Flori-
da In abiding to the proposed meet
ing Of the joint committee appointed by
the Senate and House to agree upon
means for the counting of the vote, the
same gentleman said that the Democrat
ic leaders had little faith that the Com
mittee would agree upon a satisfactory
plan of action, and it was generally
thought that Senator Morton would prove
to be the obstructive element of that
committee N. Y. Tribune.
