THE BILL TO COUNT THE ELEC-
TORAL VOTES.

The most important act of the present
congress was the joint conference bill sub
mitted to both houses yesterday, the full
text of which appears in the Sentinel to-day.
From the day that Zach Chandler tele-
graphed Governor Stearns, of Florida, that
the vote of that state must be counted for
Hayes until the present time the radical press
and the radical leaders have declared that
the counting and declaring of the electoral
vote was vested exclusively in the president
of the senate They knew that this was the
only plan whereby the counting in of Hayes
could be assured; consequently they would
listen to no other. 1t availed nothing to
show them that the constitution of the Uni
ted States never contemplated such an exer-
else of power on the part of the president OF
the senate, and that the uniform practice of
over eighty years was against its exercise
They chung to the heresy with the tenacity OF
radical officehoIder to his perquisites, or a
southern carpet-bagger to rascality. But
the bill reported to congress, and which was
agreed to by all the members of the joint
committee with the exception of Morton,
places the counting and declaring of the
vote into other hands than those of the vice
president This act of the joint committee
is a confession of the illegality of
the plan advocated by Morton and
his co-conspirators, and an Endorsement
of that supported by the democracy and
conservative people OF the country.
For over eighty years congress has exer-
cised the power of counting the electoral
votes and determining who had been elected
president and vice president, and we think
it is yet equal to the task. 1t seems to us to
be unnecessary to create a commission to
be composed in part OF persons not
members of either branch of the
national legislature to determine whom
the people elected last November
and while we are hopeful that an amicabl'
solution of one OF the most difficult prob
lens that way eversubmitted to delibera
tive body is near at hand, there are som'
features in the plan proposed by the join
committee well calculated to arouse aPPre
tensions. 1t Is to be hoped that the com
mittee's deliberations. the fruits o
