COUNTING THE ELECTORAL
VOTE,

Notwithstanding the mousipg OF
Democratic politicians in regard to
the rights OF the House, in the matter
of counting the Electoral vote, we can
refer with satisfaction to the early
o, actioe a. the surest exponent Of the
intentions Of the trainers Of the Con-
stitution. .....
In the Senate Of the 1st Congress,
at the first count Of the electoral votes
of the several States, april 8, 1879.
John Lsugdon. ESQ, Of New Hamp
shire, was chosen President Of tha,
body for the sole purpose Of opening
and counting the votes for President
and Vice President of the United
States, and it was
"Ordered. That Mr.. Ellsworth in
form the House Of R representatives.
that a quorum of the Senate is formed
that a President is elected for the sole
purpose of opening the certificates and
counting the votes of the electors Of
the several States in the choice of q
President and Vice President OF the
United States; aud that The Senate il
now ready, in the Sepa'e Chamber, to
proceed i'm the preseuce of the House
TO discharge that duty; and that
the Senate have appointed one O.
their members to sit at the clerks
table to make list Of the votes a,
they shall be declared; submitting il
to the wisdom of the House to appoint
one OF more OF their members for the
like purpose.
In response to this order Mr.. Boudi
not, from the House of Representatives
appeared in the Senate and said:
"MR. PRESIDENT: am directed by
the House of Representatives to in
form the Senate that the House is
ready forthwith to meet the Senate to
attend the opening and counting OF
the votes of the electors of President
and Vice President of the United
States"
Not to participate iI the count, mol
to perform any active function In the
count, but to ATTEND" with the Sen

STORY OF THE OREGON FAR e.

STORY OF THE OREGON FAX IE.
So many and various have been the
reports in regard to the operations of
Tilden's Bureau, Gov. Grover. Cronin,
ct al, that We propose giving some
what connected narrative Of that affair,
as developed by the facts so far elici
ted, and which have brought the re
sponsibility of the outrage right home
to Tilden's door: On the 9Th of De
cenber . man whose name it has been
an object to keep from the public, but
which the Investigations made have
proved to be . Mr.. Jordan. cashier OF
the Third National Bank. of New York,
In which Tilden has $6S, 900 stock,
called at the Office of Martin & Runion,
No. 40 Wall-st, New York, and paid
for q certified check on the bank of
North America, payable to the order of
Ladd & Bush. bankers, Salem, Oregon.
This check Rurion took, by Jordon's
instructions, to Chas. Diamon, CORES
pondent of the firm, to deposit, and
said that it was important tha. Ladd
& Bush should be notified by telegraph
that day. Diamon said he could not
use the check because it was not e.
dorsed. Run on returned to his Office
and brought back another check paya
BILE to Diamon's order. Diamon tele-
graphed Ladd & Bush Of the deposit
of the amount to their credit. On the
11th Diamon received a dispatch from
Ladd & Bush directing him to return
the money to Martin & Runion. which
he did he did by his check, deducting
S2.75 paid for the telegram What
settlement Runion made with Jordon,
who origi ated the transaction is not
known. When the committee sub
pepoed Martin & Runion, Col. W. T.
Pelton, formerly Gov. Tilden's Secre
tary and manager Of the Liberty-st
DucIHu, hCut w DuIlOu AZ 1dITlsOu
a lawyer, and formerly Private Secre-
tary of Mayor WickaIn, and told him
that Runion would cali on him for ad.
vice as to his testimony. On the same
day, Jordan who arranged for the re-
mittance to Oregon. and whose name
Runion at 6rst refused to divulge,
called on him and told him to 60 aud
consult with Harrison Martin, of the
firm of Martin & Runion, went to
Warrington - q witness hrss and was
accompanied BY Harrison, who warn
ed him not to testify to anything he
did not know, meaning that he should
not repeat any explanation Ca the az
fair that be had heard. Then Runion
was sent for, and fnally gave the facts
as TO the transaction with Jordan.
And now Jordan has the stand and
then comes Tilden. The facts devel

The Courier is very anxious to know
why, if the 22d Joint Rule, under
which the electoral vote was counted
in 1868 and 1872, was good enough for
'hst time why it is not good enough
for the PRESENT. Simply, and in fact,
because the 22d rule vas an innovation
upon the Constitutional requirements Is
and all previous ussge, and because,
regs I'd for the constitution and copsti-
tutionsl forms required its abrosation.
1t was objected to by the profoundest
minds iu the country, and early in the
last session, before any could foresee
the result of the last falls election, the
Senate repealed it and gave botice
thereof to the House. That the House
refused 10 give irs sanction TO the re-
pea, does not alter the matter, and the
best Democrats in the House and Sen
ate have admitted 'he fact. Only
Randall, and a few others, bent upon
mischief, persist in the claim that the
rule is still in existence. According to
his and the Couri RS ideas, two men
who had once formed q partnership
without limitation could never dissolve,
no matter how often they took steps
to do so. The rule may also be said to
be like law. .scquiesced in by all until
the discovery is made that it infringes
a constitutional prerogative, when it is
set aside. The rule will not bear in
vestigation, because it is capable Of be-
ing used to subvert the liberties of the
people. by making Congress and not
the people, the arbiter in the case.
Upon this point we submit a few re-
marks from the Gazette, 90 curtly put
and SO strongly urged that we can add
nothing by way of strengthening its
position. The argument was suggested
by the reported agreement of the Sen.
ate Committee, on plan for counting
the vote, The Gazette says:
3 To say that so grave a thing az throw.
ing out votes of Electors ought not to
be done save by agreement of both
Houses. seems only a truism. To say
that the two Houses may do this. seems
a plausible concession 10y way of com
promise In the present situation.
: Let'us bring this concession to the
test of rational sequence, and see II it
stops where Mr.. Sherman puts the lock
on the wheel.

houses agreeing - the constitutional
