TIE GJST or THE MATTER.

Two important contributions are made TO
tho Presidential discussion on another page
Ex-Speaker Galusla A. Grow, one or the
ablest Of parllamentarians, deyotas letter
mainly to the consideration OF the powers
and duties of the President of the Sen
ate. in case the two houses should fail
to reach concurrent action This contingency
seems rapidly lessening, in the light of recent
dispatches from Washington, but with Mr..
Proctor Knott rafting around in the way that
he is, there is no telling what rupture OF dlsa-
ereement may arise. All is not compromise
that promises to be. MIR. Crows chief point il
that in all the President of the Senate has to do
with the counting of the electoral vote, he "is
ian official created by the Constitution Itself
"for specific duty. and in its performance. he
" is clearly not the presiding officer (aS such)
" of either house, or of the two houses, SO IA to
abe subject to their directions IN any way,
"exccDt under joint rule or positive law"
He "comes as an Independent officer OF the
Government to perform duty fixed and de-
fined by the Constitutions" and in the absence
of LEGISLATION or concurrent acton he must
count the vote This may be 3" clothing him
:" with absolute power but, Mr.. Grow thinks,
" only with the powers with which ne III
Invested by the Constitution, and they are no
"greater and no more absolute than they
would be in whoever must determine the
result" "All controversies in wcll-ordeTed
governments must have some final arbiter."
Mr.. Grow adds to this discussion some
brief, cOgent opinions on other points.
Perhaps the most striking of them is his
declaration, in speaking of the claim
of the House to the right to reject a
vote, that "the dangers apprehended from an
Exercise of the power to count and declare
&" the result by the President of the Senate,
"even if fully realized, could not be greater
ethan would be this perversiOn of power"
The sober minded Democrats of the House
will find that sentence worth thinking about.
Mr.. r. J. COffey, in another communication,
sets aside all the technicalities that have been
raised regarding the eligibility Of electors, &C.,

THE HORSE REPORT.

Resolved That in the execution of the
power To count the electoral vote the House
I" of Representatives is at lcost coordinate and
equal with the Senate" That is one OF the
conclusions at which the Committee on the
Privileges, Powers, and Duties Of the House
of Representatives in counting the Electoral
Vote has arrived. We should be glad to know
the significance of the two words we have
placed in italics. The Democratic members Of
the House appear to have gone upon the as
sumption that they have in reality some power
over the vote superior to that Of the Senate,
and they phrase their resolution so as to con-
vey the impression that they waive part OF
their prerOgative for the sake OF compromise.
If this is their idea, it is prcpOsterOus, and the
prospect of an agreement is not brilliant.
The appointment of special committee to
assert the privileges of the House, just at this
time when a joint committee is trying to
frame a rule which will cover the whole sub
ject in manner satisfactory to both branches
of Congress and to both political parties,
seems to US TO have been altogether unfor-
tunate. 1t looks like an attempt to prevent
any accommodation except upon such terms
as shall! secure the Inauguration OF MIR. Tiden,
right or wrong, and the language OF the re-
port will satisfy all persons that there is a
strong if not controlling party in the House
of Representatives which will go any length
for the sake of present partisan triumph and
il indifferent to the true interests OF the coun-
try and the future of the Democracy. The
resolution we have just cited gives the key
note of the report. The concluding resolution,
:" that in counting the electoral vote no votes
"can he counted against the judgment and
without the assent of the House." takes away
from the Joint committee all its most import
ant work, and commits the House in advance
to a theory which this conference has been
expressly appointed To discuss. A conference
ia the gIossest absurdity il its action is to be
blocked in this blind and unreasonable man
ner. We trust tho House Of Representatives,

audience. They did not GO homo after
that lamentable show Ito which they
all were dead-headeD more inclined 10
prove unfaithful to their wives. to dissolve In
maudn sentiment, or to dribble away In tak.
They only now mention the actors in the
drama with q shrug of disgust or yawn.
Men do not necessarily turn into circus actors
because they like to watch the ring-man with
his rawhide or the clown with his tricks.
The times are serious now, war and imam
ciaI news every day oppressive. Let us have
what fun we can from these good fellows VINO
are willing to sacrifice themselves to give it
to lis gratis. Perhaps when they see how short
lived is their notOrety, how eagerly their au-
dience will turn tomorrow to some new family
broil OF rawhde exploit, they may feel that
the world is ungrateful and regret their sacri-
flee. But the public meanwhile will have bad
its amusement.

TIE SENATORIAL SCRAMBLE IN N1oSA-


George S. Boutwell,, George F. HOar, Alex
ander Rice, Alexander II. Bullock, Professor
Seclyc, with Messrs. Devens and Sanford mot
70 mention those upon the ultra Democratic
sdc), are all more or less vocferously talked
of in Boston and elsewhere in Massachusetts
for the vacant United States Senatorship.
This, therefore, is a contest not OF political
principles, but personal one of men. The
Republican orthodoxy of none of the Repubil-
can candidates is questioned. The party Is
not divided, at least not seriously, upon
measures. 1t is cut up into personal factions
Each candidate has his following, large
or small of political manipulatOrs who
are interested personally in his success
The inevitable result of this is to belittle the
battle. Upon each banner there is name and
not principle inscribed. What the canvass
is under such conditions it is hardly necessary
for us to set forsh. Inevitably it is full OF in
trigue, importantly, appeals to motives not In
the least lofty, prejudices, backbiting, SANDER,
misrepresentation. and whcedling. The chance
of getting the best possible Senator under such
lamentable circumstances would not seem to
be great.
If there were real difference of opinion
respecting the qualifications of these candi-
dates and if the competition were based upon
genuine merit, there would be no fault to
find. Most if not all of the gentlemen who
have been talked of would do credit to Massa-
chusetts in the Senate, and keep unimpaired
whatever respect and influence she still re-
tains there. But this is not foremost, we
suspect, in the thought of the Bay
State politician by profession. The adj
vantage which he expects to derive
from the success of his particular can
didate will be enjoyed at home rather than in
Washington. He does not work for love, nor
yet, in general, for money; but he does work
because he thinks that it will be for his inter-
est to have his candidate in the Senate. AS
for the people, their business Is to look on
and listen and accept the upshot, whatever it
may be. We are not specially fond of party
shackles but if a party nomination decently
good and loyalty acquesced in will save
State from this unpleasant spectacle OF great
game of grab, then there is something at least
to be said in favor of the caucus.

THE PUBLIC ANUSES ITSELF

Some of our contemporaries, especially in
the common -sensed West. profess their indig-
nation at the people of NcwY0Rk for stand
ing agape with curiosity for two days this
week while two hotheadcd young men thumped
or shot or threw each other about i'll the
gutter for a private quarrel, which COM
mon self-respect and dccency should have
made them keep in the background.
We beg our inland friends not to judge us
too hardly. Nobody in New York, not even
the newsboy who vends the news with shreks,
il mistaken as to tho triiling importance of
this street fight. Even the giggling shOp-clcrk
is not melted to emulate the chiyalry which
defends womans name by rawhide, or
makes it common in the mouth of every unclean
man from Maine to Florida. Nobody estimates
these rawhide experts at an atom more than
their real social weight because they have
chosen to perform in a farce for the benefit Of
the public nor is the code of honor likely to
he less an object of ridicule because of their
absurd escapade, followed by gangs of re-
porters to the wlds OF Slaughter Station. But
the public has 4 keen sense of fun. 1t likes
to be amused, especially without pay; and
when any philanthrOpic souls choose to drag
ont their love affairs or domestic tragedies for
the benefit of tho gaping crowd, without
charge, the gaping crowd would act like n
fool e it did not take front scat and find all the
funit could in the show. These young acrobats,
with their gymnastics of heroic rage, IN the
gutter, or lodging the press and police in their
firm resolve to wash clean their wounded
honor in tho least amount of blood possible,
tickled the sense Of fun of the people. Who
blames them if they stopped serious business
for while to laugh, and cry Tally-ho to
the rcportersi
A year or two ago some friends of ours
nameiess here, please Heaven! forevermore-
benevolently offered themselves for the enter
tainment of the public. For long year
they attitudinizcd on stage in full sight of
the whole country; swore, prayed, talked-ye
Gods, how they did talk COMMITTED moral
har-kari OH their previous lives, and showed
us the very bowels of their hates loves, adul-
telies, and piety. And the people gaped and
looked OH breathless. Wise men prophesod
that the public taste and morals would
be hopelessly dcpravcd. 1t is all over
now; the stage is swept clean, and we
really do not see that much harm has come to
anybody except to tho actors. Not much of
man IL left, Us we see, after hari-kar. But a.
for the public in America, it is, on the whole,

the recreation of the public want to sell tbe,
wares, they must reduce their prices. They
too, went up during the war, and forgot IN
come down. Play-gOers not yet middle-aged
will remember a stock company made 10 ~
such actors az jefferson, Clarke, Sothem. and
Laura Keene, to whose representations IN.
admission ranged from so cents TO 81. Tia
actors then were well paid at that price, and
lived comfortably. Now, no profession com.
mands their salaries. The utility-man. who
has dozen lines to speak, perhaps once A
week during the season, is paid as much a.
the hard-wOrked bOOkkeeper in a counting
house the little girl who shippers through her
part as heroine receives twice the income of thu
professors of any college in the country, whila
the great stars of the profession earn twica
the salary of the President Of the United
States. Now all this is right az long as thu
public is willing to pay so much for its amuse-
ment. There is nothing which sells 20 readily
in the American market al fun. But just now
people are not willing to pay it. The times ara
in no humOr for joking, and neither are thu
people.
