Senator Dawes is on record against the as
sumption Of judicial functions by the Presi-
dent of the Senate in counting the electoral
vote. During the debate on the Morton
bill at the last session of Congress 1t was
proposed to amend the bill with q provision
that the president Of the Senate should de-
eide which was the true return il the two
houses could not agree. Upon this propo-
sition Mr. Dawes said: &c 1t is in violation
of all the analogies and all the theories upon
which the Government itself is based, and
it would be the strangest anomaly in what
would otherwise be called free Govern
ment of the people-that, although in all
things else the nation and the Constitution
had studied to give effect to the voice Of the
people, we had deliberately, and by short
section of three lines, selected man and
clothed him with the power OF saying who
shall DO the President of the United States. +"
In the same speech Mr. Dawes made this
remarkable statement =" II question arises
after the opening OF Il vote whether you shall
count it or not, and those on whom the Con-
stitution has devolved the duty Of deciding
it fail to agree, the legal consequence is pre-
cisely what this bill says shalt be theconse-
uuencc. It cannot be counted, because
those upon whom the Constitution has de-
yoIyed the power OF determining it have
failed to agree that it shall be counted, or
how it shall be counted. And because they
fail to agree, and because the Constitution
has not gone further to dispose Of the ques-
ton, we propose to do SO by statute. The
ingenuity of the members Of the. Senate and
the House may be expended upon selecting
the best and the safest tribunal, but still it
will lack constitutional authority, and lack
ing constitutional authority it is naught; and
being naught, to set up man as President
af the United States without authority is
another definition Of usurpation.

The Farmer.

From the saltwater iaiinn.l Messenger.l
When a farmer can so manage his farm rs
to make "both ends Of the year meet,
even IL it be with the most rigid economy.
he should be contented with his lot. II we
take q survey OF the businessmen OF our
villages and cities we find that only three or
four in q hundred realize competence for
old age. Then imagine the unhappiness OF
those who, sooner or later, fail to
support themselves and families re-
spectably--and cares and anxieties that
constantly produce pangs and fortunes that
no farmer ever felt. These men may appa-
rently lead pleasant lives, as the world cal'-
not witness the emotions OF a man who
daily strains every financial nerve to meet
his notes falling due at the bank. The time
between l and 5 O'Clock every day in the
city OF New York brings more anxiety to
the businessmen than all the farmers OF
the United States realize in lifetime.
No, farmers, your lot is not hard one.
Your food may be plain and the cuts ofyour
coats may not be as fashionable as those OF
the merchants Of the day, but when you lie
upon your pillows your repose is sound and
sweet. The horrors Of protested notes sell
dom keep you awake at night. and i'll the
morning, Us you go around to feed your
locks and view your crops that have
yisibly grown while you were in the
arms of Morpheus, you may take
more real enjoyment Of life in one hour
than many city merchants and manufac-
turers do in year. Our advice, therefore,
is: be not discouraged. The times may
now be hard; but you are promised "seed-
time and harvest" to the end, and with
hard labor and judicious management you
come out in the end victorious.
