THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. MABTIK. - - - KO*r. Columbiuh 0 SUNDAY *. - NOVEMBER I9. 1376. '.jjger — LARGEST CIRCULATION ■• Mw Caantles .! ..<! T.Hn lit ■ !pi.,.-'IP!.' I "L ' Gen. Kilpatrick, who was ia North Carolina last week Burvoyiug the field, has returned to New York. He gives up North Carolina as hopeless for Hayes, and estimates that Til den’s majority will be at least 19,000. It Is estimated that the total vote for President will reach 7,010,000. The New York Graphic estimates Gov. Tilden's majority on the popu lar vote at 207,000. Over 1,000,000 more votes wero east In this election than in 1872. The latest reports say that Califor nia has elected three Republican and one Democratic Congressmen. The two olosely contested districts were the 3d and 4th, The 3d has elected Luttrell, Dem., by about 200 majori ty, and in the 4th Paoheoo, Rep., Is elected by a very small majority. A special from Columbia, 8. C., to the Atlanta Commonwealth says that a Republican Commissioner with re turns from Laurens county, showing eleven hundred Democratic majori ty, refused for five days to deliver them, and absconded. A warrant for his arrest was Bued out by the Democrats, and he was arrested. W. Jasper Blackburn, who calls himself “the oldest native Republi can in the Gulf States,” telegraphs to the New Orleans Democrat a pro test against the fraud contemplated by the Returning Board. Ho says: “I call for a displny of manly honor In this matter. Tilden and Nicholls are evidently elected. Let them be inaugurated. If not, then let us have another war and an eternal separa tion, or another policy of recon struction. The South, and especially Louisiana, cannot live as she has been living for the past decode. It Is a mockery upon human rights and an Insult to all true manhood to say that she can.” —• * The Columbus Times Rives us to understand that, so far as it is con cerned, the Republican visitors are not to be believed; that their profes sions are dishonest, and their posi tion wholly negative. For the sake of common truth we hope that there are but few such unjust and unrea sonable parties to this controversy as the Columbus Times. The people of the North who voted almost as* unit for Hayes and Wheeler, express a perfect willingness to accept the final result of this controversy as closing the argument. But should that re sult be against the Democratic party, the Columbus Times will not only not accept It, but will proceed to denounce It as a fraud. This plaoes the Times outside the pale of discussion in these premises.— Montg. Journal, The Montgomery ,Journal under stands the position of the Columbus Times exactly. But it greatly mis represents the position of the people of the North, some two millions of whom voted against Hayes and Wheeler, leaving them a majority in that section not exceeeing 15 x>er cent, of the popular vore. THE EHeiVGRRS’ STRIKE. The strike of the engineers on the Georgia Railroad continues, with no material change in the situation. Most of the trains .have ceased run ning, the conductors remaining with them to protect the property in their charge. The Augusta Chronicle of Friday says, in reference to the effect of this stand-still on business at that point*. “The business men, particularly the cotton factors, are feeling the strike keenly. Large quantities of cotton already shipped now lie idle upon the road, and the stock at the depots along the route is rapidly ac cumulating. The falling off In the receipts is readiiv shown by a refer ence to the circular of the Augusta Exchange. On Wednesday. 1,730 bales were reoeived, the heaviest any day this week, while yesterday only 668 bales, showing a falling off of 1,062 bales, or an average decrease of say, floe bales per day.” x rew qi Ksrioa, The Constitution of the United States prohibits the election by the Electors of a President aud a Vice President from the same State. The question which may arise is, can the House and the Senate, in the event of no choice by the' Electors, elect both the President and Vice Presi dent from the same State. Hon. Jere S. Black it! reported ebunviwrw ita any. ing that if Tilden is not declared elected by the Electors, the House will elect Tilden President, and the Senate will elect Wheeler Vice Presi den t. They are both from Now York, and one of them would be ineligible by the Electors. It certainly was the design of the Constitution to forbid the choice of both President and Vice President from the same State, no matter by what body elected; but it does not say so in express terms, and this may afford tricky politicians a pretext for violating it in spirit. And It Came to Past. A certain man whose name was Zachariah went down from Washing ton to New York and fell among thieves, and the thieves received him gladly, and he abode with them many days. And he said unto them: “Behold, I have three States. South Carolina is mine, and Florida is mine, and Louisiana is mine, and there are nineteen Electoral votes in those three. Go now and get me an hundred and sixty-six other votes, and we will count |n these nineteen and the inheritance will be ours; for we shall scoop the boys.” But be hold, the boys sent spies into the States of Zaehariah, aad Louisiana was not his by eight thousand, and Florida was not his by fifteen hund red, And when Zaehariah saw that certain wise men had been sent down from the North, who oversaw the saatessail? For the last State of that man was fire thousand worse than the first. THK rOUTKAL SITUATION, Yesterday’s reports added some more complications to the Presiden tial contest-such as the discovery that two of the Republican Electors In Louisiana are Federal office-hold ers ; the omission of tho names of three of the Louisiana Republican Electors from their ticket, in some counties of tho State, by which they fell three thousand votes short; the vigorous contest which the Dem ocrats of Vermont are making to have on 3 of their Electors substituted for the Ineligible Republican Elector, &c. There never was such a muddle In our Presidential elections before. If, in spite of all the new difficulties In their w'ay, the Radicals persist in their now plainly-revealed purpose of giving the votes of Louisiana and Florida to Hayes, there will bo knot ty questions enough before the joint session of the two houses of Congress to engage their attention from tho second Wednesday in February to the 4th of March, if tho House will permit tho squabble to drag on so long without exercising Its constitu tional right to elect a President io the event that there Is no choice by the Electors. Wc regard the news of yestorday as rather more favorable to Tilden, sim ply because It adds to the compUea tions, and all increasing tho difficul ties in tho way of the success of the Radical conspiracy. But wo have no indications or reasons to believe that tho Radical party, having resolved to count Hayes In by fraud and usurpation, will pause at any ob stacles, however numerous or great. It is becoming the settled opinion that the dispute must go bofore tho joint session of Congress, and various are tho speculations as to how it will end there. Can either or both houses havo an Electoral vote thrown out? Will the President of the Henate en tertain motions to throw out votes? Will the Democratic members with draw In case of his refusal? If they withdraw, can the joint session pro ceed without the presence of a ma jority of the House? If the Demo crats remain and prolong the squab ble about tho correction of tho re turns or the casting out of votes, how can they bring it to a close before tho 4th of March? Can the House withdraw and elect a President bofore an official ascertainment and announcement that there is no choice by the Elec toral College ? And can this an nouncement be made until tho "count” is fully completed? These are some of the questions that arise in tho consideration of probable con tingencies. A little reflection will show the reader that they are serious and perplexing; and they will the greatly aggravated if tho army of the United States, after upholding the canvassing boards of the South in their dirty work, should be massed around Washington to overawe the representatives of the people. Various opinions o,ro oxproosorl ns to the result of such a contest before the joint session of the two houses of Congress. General Butler and Hon. Caleb Cushing seem to be>f the opinion that it may be prolonged until the 4th of March, that the power of the House to elect will have then terminated, and then Gen. Grant must continue to admin ister tho government until his suc cessor is chosen in the mode pointed out by the constitution. Hon. Jere. 8, Black.on the other hand, is quoted as saying that if Hayes Electors are returned for Florida and Louisiana, “the votes of these States will be thrown out by Congress when it shall meet to count tho Electoral vote. This will throw the election of Presi dent into the Houso and Vioe-Presi dent into the Senate. Tho former would undoubtedly elect Tilden ; the latter Wheeler. So Judge Black fig ures it out.” These gentlemen are all eminent lawyers and well versed in parlia mentary rules and practice. The difference in their views is striking and significant of the perplexities of the question. But they seem to agree in one thing which gives us encouragement and gratification, that it is in the power of the House to defeat the fraudulent election of Hayes, even if it cannot give the po sition to Tilden, who is rightfully elected by the people. How the Democrat* Can Uet the Vote of Florida, ete., counted. United States Senator Whyte, of Maryland, in an interview with a Sun reporter, said: He is confident that Mr. Tilden has carried Louisiana and Florida, and probably South Carolina, and that in spite of the returning boards the votes for Mr. Tilden in those States will be counted for him. The votes of such Electors will be certified to the President of the Senate, and copies will also be sent to Senators. Wlien the Senate and Houso ait to gether to count tho votes in February one teller will be apt min ted by the Senate and two by the House, who will count and declare the votes as they are handed to them bv the Vice President. Should the Vice Presi dent decline to produce the certifi cates In favor of Mr. Tilden, a Sena tor mav produce copies of them and move that the votes be counted. The Vice President may also decline to put this motion to tho joint conven tion of tho two houses, m which case the tellers will be asked to put the motion to a vote. As two of the tell ers will be Democrats and one a Re publican, a majority of them can de cide as to the propriety of putting the motion, ana as the Democratic majorityin the House is large enough to control the joint convention, it is plain that the votes of all the States that are really cast for Mr. Tilden may thus be counted. Should the Senate withdraw and decline to count these votes the matter will go to the House of Representatives for deci sion, as in the case of a failure to elect by the people. In that event, of course Mr. Tilden would be elected President of the United States. Ohio. Columbus, 0., Nov. Kt—The official vote of Ohio was canvassed to-day by Secretary of State Bell in thepresence of Gov. Hayes and James Williams. State Auditor, with the following result: The numberof votes cast were 639,757. Of this number Hayes re ceived 330.G&8; Tilden 323,183; Peter Cooper 3,057 1 Green Olay Smith 1,636; and James B. Walker, anti-Masonbe candidate. 76. Hayes’ majority over liiden is 7,516: over ail competitors, 8,747. COKHEVtIRA (3E0861A NBWM.

J In an interview just bad with United States Senator Merrimon, a member of the Senate Committee on Rules, he stated that the twenty-second joint rule, providing that the Electoral vote of anv State shall be set aside upon the objection of either House, although rescinded on the part of the Senate, may yet bo insisted upon by some as continuing in force.since the House of Representative, by whose concurrence this rule was originally adopted, did not join in its abroga tion. The Republican Senators may insist upon the recognition of the twenty-second rule as still operative, and proceed to object to receiving the vote of Louisiana. The Demo cratic House would probably there upon object to the reception of Ohio. The Senate then objeots to North Carolina, which the House re sents by objecting to Pennsylva nia. This process may go on until the electoral vote of every State is thrown out, thus making last Tues day’s election a complete nullity. The election of a President could not then, as might be supposed, go to the House, since there would be no two blghent. candidates to choose from. A new election of President and Vice must then be ordered in pursuance of sections 147, 148 and 149 of title 2, chapter 1., Revised Statutes of the United States. An important ques tion arises here: Who shall occupy the Presidential office in the interim? Since the vacancy supposed does not come under the four cases of removal, death, resignation, or inability, pro vided for by section 146 of the above named chapter, which authorizes the President of the Senate to act as President, it is manifestly a Gaums omissus. If the rule be regarded as repealed the counting of the vote of the Electoral college will ’De regulated solely by the provisions ofsection 3, of article 2 of the Constitution of the United States, which in the absence of any statute of Congress made in pursuance of it, is subject to varying and conflicting interpretations which will readily suggest themselves. Commissioners’ Court.— The regu lar November Term of the Commis sioners’ Court convened on the first Monday, but after one day’s session adjourned over until the 13th inst., when it again convened. The Judges were all present, except Thomas B. Howard, Esq. A good many small claims were up for allowance on con sideration. The Court decided to set apart the sum of $3,500 of the county revenues to build and repair the county bridges. The Court is of the opinion that economy and close trim ming can make that amount be enough for the purpose for which it is thus appropriated. A two days’ session was held, and the Court then adjourned, after disposing of all the matters before it readv for hearing. —Russell Register, NEW RICE MILL.
