BEN BUTLER. HE THINKS ROMPE COMILICATIONS MAY ARISE OUT OF THE WECENT ELECTION. Dlapateh (o the Now York Herald. LOwELL, Mass., Nov, §.—Gen, Butler fureseos the posibility of grave complicatfons in tho counting of tne electoral yote. In an Interview with your corrcspondent this evening ho ex- pressed mself quito freoly,and Thorewith sub- mit his views in full, 41t s hurdly fair," sald the General, “to ask me u question upon a disputed point of constl- tutional law without any opportunity for elther reflection or verification of my views; but as 1 entertadn no opinfon that Iam not always will- ini¢ to express, I will give you tho first view of the subject of sour inquiry as it strikes me. The constitutional provision Is that the President of the Senate shall, In tho presence of the Scnate and Uouse of Representutives, open all the cor- tificates of the clectors, nnd the States shall then be counted. The dutles of those engaged in this work would seem to be—first, that the Senate and_Ifouse wmust comeo tugether; then the DPresident ol - the Senato “is Lo open allthe certiticates; then the votes are to be cotnted. Now, the counting of the votes im- plles u seruting o' them, an examiuation of them to see whether they are correct or fraudulent. Whoever has the counting In charge must be convineed that they are nut frandulont and that the certilleate Is a vorrect and just oue. One has ouly to suppuse a torged certitieate, which would ot be vounted. Whoever inay be en- titled to can examiue the certificate to sce whether It fs n forzed one. If they could ex- auiue the certifleate in one partieulir it would seem clear that they could examine it in all, Therefore I am of tie opinlon that whoever has the counting of the votes must have n right to serutiuize them {n every particular, and {f from sy causeany of them are deemed fraudulent they ure to be rejected. Tuls, however, Is !lren[jl.llcnml Dby the fdea that this tribunal, provided by the Constitution to count and seru- tintze the votes, is the one of last resort, and in the matter of serutinizing clections the Houses or body who are to nake the final determination have the right to malke the most exact and rigld rerntiny possible, reeelving such evidence as imay b determining to thelr own minds on the ques- tlous involved ther ‘The question comes to us, Whols to count the votes? Not the President of the Scnate, for lie §s to open all of the certhileates, and the vote #hallt then be counted, The Constitution seems not to bo explicit us to who s to count. But Why bring together both Houses §f they are not to count or take any part in countlug?” Or are they brought togethier, s in the proviston in Mussachusetts, that the votes shall be counted in open town meeting simply s witnesses to the upening, because the practics has been never to allow uny luterference with the count- ine by the people, they sinply remalning to seo that it s falrly and openly done. Bnt surely Loth Houses would not bo called tozether as slinply witnesses. Now we are without law on the subject, and the joint rule of the two Houses has been annulled. It would scem, therefore, thut buth Houges must agree upon some plan by means ot which tue counting shall bedone, or tiaey are without any guide, It would scem to follow that cach Houso would be acheck on the other, Lecause cither House fs only to withdraw (rom the conventionund then the counting caunot be dune lu the presence of both Houses. It is ditllenlt, therefore, to seo how any votes ol uny Stata can bo counted withoui both Mouses agree, - It will be observed [n eonstitutional provis- fans that there (s no tinw Hmited at which the Houses must meet, but by luw it {s appolnted hat on the second Wednesduy of Febriary the t'ficates of 5o many of thew 1s have been ye- fyed shall then be opencd, the votes counted, and the persons to Ol) the ofilees of Presideut and Viee-President na ascertained mud declared, agreeable to the Constitution. But 1L is clear that ¢ wust meet belore the 4t of March, or else there will be 2 lapse of the executive branels of the Government, for therels no cousti- tlonal provislon nor mo luw which allows any bolding over of the President untll hia suceessar {8 uppuluted, or substitutes any ofticer Lo take his place, The law which provides that in somo contingencies the Vresldent of the Senate and Sneaker of the House may ait ns Uresiaent, is ouly a provision for certain specitled cases; nnd these are only the conthizency of removal, death, resfirnation. or inubility ol both Presideut and Viee-Presstent, neither of which would be the case which we are_considering, Where no President i clected, then 1L s provided by luw that whenever the oflices of Tresident und Vice President both become vacant the Seerctary of Stute shall_cause notitl- cation Lhereof to b made to the Exceutive of of ever; ¢, und shall alzo cause the sume to be published in nt least. oue of the uewspapers printed [n each State, calling for u new weeting to chvost cicetors for President wnd Viee-Presl denty to be chosen ab the varions thues therein arovked, fiut suppose there 13 no countlug of the electoral votes betore the 4th of Marcl, und I upon the counting vo President or Viee-I'res fdent uppeers to be elected, then the provislon 1s thut tis House shadl proceed to lect o Prest- dlent, vutlng by States, cach State having one vote, Would thut provislon go futo operation fn o euse where (L appeared that there was no clees tlon!
