senator Dawes is on record against the as
rmpton Of judicial functions by the President Of the
senate in counting the electoral VOTE During the DEBATE
ON the Morton bill at the last session OF Congress 1t was
,.onospd TO amend the bill with a provision that the
,-osdent OF the Senate should decide which was the
enc return If the two houses could not Upon this
onoson Mr. Dawes said "It is IN violation OF all the
naogies and all the theories upon which the Gov
eminent itself is based aud would be the strangest
.pomay in what would otherwise be called free gov
the nation and the Constitution had studied to give
at Ia the voice Of the people had here deliberately
aud nv short section of three lines selected man and
clothed hm with the power of saying who shall be the
.reirut Of the United States" In the same speech Mr.
Dawes made this remarkable statement: II question
arises after the opening OF vote whether you shall
count il or not and those WHOM the Constitution has
seyolved the duty Of deciding fail to agree, the legal
consequence is precisely what this bill says shall b. the
coneauence 1t cannot be counted because those upon
whom the Constitution has devOlved the power Of deter
mining il have failed TO that it shall ne counted or
how il shall be counted And because they ai to agree
and the Constitution has not gone further 10 as
nos question, propose TO do so by statute Ihc
ingenuity of the members u the senate ant the House
NV be expended upon selecting the best and tue safest
tribunal but still II Will lack constitutional authority,
and lacking constitutional authority It IS naught; ana
being uaught to set man as President OF the United
States without authority is another denntOn OI hsurp
siOn."
The Washington correspondent of The Boston
Herald makes this entertaining though probably strongly
imaginative estimate Of the Presidential outlook: l.
II a very strong case is made out in Louisiana in
favor Of Tden. fraud in the Returning Board being
clearly shown, will there be found nine Republican SEN
aors 10 vote with the Democrats in favor OF excluding
the vote that state . Will either party debate the
question until the 4th Of March, and thus force new
election Of President and Vice'Presidentl These two
questions are the Of greatest interest and I'M
portance to-day Nothing be certain than that
The report .anst the Returning Boards Will be OF the
very strongest kind. Every intelligent and impartial
observer who has reported concerning the situation III
Louisiana has reported that il is impossible 10 sustain
tie action of the Returning Board but partisan
erounAs. The for Tiden in Louisiana will be 50
string that the calm public opinion Of the country will
neyerusy counting il Hayes by any process what
ever This then, bears directly upon the question con-
corning the nine Senators. II anything settled to-day
it il that the Democrats will not consent to have MI
Hayes counted In, and that they Will prefer new
election which they will have it in their power to en-
force rather than submit TO the election Of Hayes by
the operation of the rule for concurrent action, when
now seems inevitable. Now, as regards new election,
there is feeling on both sides that another contest Will
I've pretty certain result in favor of T1den This lGea
lection is unpopular. In the end the nine sen
aiors will probably be forthcoming. Here are six OF
them (for guess AcOrn Of Mississippi Robertson OF
South Carolina, Hamilton OF Texas. Dorsey OfArkansas
COpover OF Florida, and Spencer OF Alabama without
entering details concerning the reasons why these
be expected vote with the Democrats IN
such emergency il Is enough 10 say that there are
substantial believing To all or them, ana
