President Of tho Sennte was not because ho
wns only " ono man." but because TINT oil.
cor hns mover assumed tho judicinl function
necessary In tho present aituasion, beeanso
tho Constitution docs not clearly veat tho
authority in him, and because ho is in cer-
tain scnHe a party in interest M q member OF
ono Of tho two parties to the controversy,
md subject 10 ono House Of Congress con-
trollotl by ono Of tleso two parties. So,
even II Congress by law had appointed ono
man to count the vote, 1t would hare been a
very different matter from tho President
Of tho Senate assuming such power. Dnt
issue in tho present tribunal. II requires
eight as tho vcry least, the number Of tho
Commission being odd, md It Is moro likely
that tho tlna1 decision will bo mado by eren
larger number. Tho rulo Of acquicaccnco
in majority decision Ia too we'll founded In
tho principles Of pcace anil arbitratfon 10
disturb It now, md It In ridiculous to rs.
sume, even IL the majority be but one, that
tho caso will havo been decided by *'ono
man,"
Dnt tho purpose Of the San seems to be
deeper than Tint of argument, since It did
not argue when tho measure was under con-
sideratfon before Congress, but condemns
and dcnounces It now that It has becn
adopted. It's present position foreshndowe
tho possible defeat Of Mr. T1LpEx, and vIr-
tnally calls upon Ills partsans in that
event not to acqu:esoe in tho decision
Of the Court. Thisis something worso than tn-
patriotic; 1t Ia almost REASONABLE. The offenae
il tho rnnker becauso tho gun has not sug-
gessel at any time, and does not now suggest,
my fairer or bcttcr method for securing a
peaceful settlement Of the controversy. II
it Ind been nllowcd to drift along without q
law regulating the count, 1t would havo re-
aulted in the counting Of the vote for HAYES
by the President Of tho Sonate and tho
choice Of Tr1oEs by tho usurpation Of tho
House. Tho inference Is thnt this Is what
tho Sun wanted. Then 1t wanted civil strife
and bloodshed, for TINT would havo been tho
outcome eventually, in the absence OF arbi.
trntion- And tho Inference from tho San's
present courso is that, eyon now, Alr. T11pEv,
ut tho very thought Of being compelled to
sacrifice his personal inhibition, desires that
IN effort shall bo rnade to obtain for him by
forco what he may not 10 able 10 guin by law.

1t Ia generally understood that tho New
York San Is tho personal organ Of Alr. T11~
DEN, and that 1t follows hts dlctation and re-
hects his viows, From tho time tl,at it be-
ca1ne evident tho Joint Committee Of Con-
gEess wonld report bill for arbitrating tho
Presidential dispute, during tho entire tlis-
cusslon Of the proposition, and up to the
moment when it became law by tile aignn-
ture Ut the President, The Sun tal not ono
word to ray either for or against It. It's a.
loncs WIS regarded as significant, aud as-
trncted comment. It WAS explained by tho
assertion that Alr. T1LpxN did not desire In
any way to influence Congress- or the coun-
try to either adopt or reject tho measure.
hut Just 20 soon as the plan, with astonisi,-
Ing nnanimity Of popular approval, had be-
come JaiG accompli, The Sun opened Its
batteries, and hos since been dcnounclng 1t
as unconstitutional, aud as conspiracy to en-.

the fifth Justice chosen by the other four.
