Caw tax Rervsticaxs Arvorp Tats ?—On a fair count in Louisiana may depend the de- cision of the Presidential election. Four republicans, two whites and two colored men, form the Returning Bonrd which is to make this count. Of the white men one is 8 federal office-holder, naturally anxious to hold his position, Of the black men one is ‘the owner of a small grogshop, with a billiard table in the rear.” Some Northern ‘men went to see him the other day, and ‘he came out from his saloon in his shirt sleeves tu lk to them.” Can the republican party aifurd te count in their candidate by such help as theese men, unless they take the ‘atmost care to satisfy all men that there has ‘been fair play? Unless, indeed, the result is woclear that no one will venture todisputoit? r month for any period | NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. Mr. Potter's Let The long and remarkable letter from Hon. Clarkson N. Potter, which we print this morning, will attract wide attention, be- cause the public will regard it—as it, in fact, is—as an authentic exposition of the views of the democratic leaders on, questions of the first magnitude and gravest importance, and an authorized announcement of what the democratic party will do, or at least attempt to do, in a great and formidable conjuncture which is not unlikely to arise. This elaborate letter is altogether more significant than anything which has yet been promulgated in connec- tion with the delicate constitutional ques- tions which are to be the staple of discus- sion for the ensuing two months. Itis a strong presentation of Mr. Tilden’s case and of the course of proceeding which will be adopted by his friends in the event of the vote of Louisiana being counted for Mr. Hayes. Mr. Potter is a near neighbor of the democratic candidate, an intimate personal friend who has his fullest confidence, a lawyer of distinguished ability, a statesman whose fairness of mind is universally con- ceded, a citizen of the highest consideration in this community—snch a man, in short, as Mr. Tilden would naturally select to be the exponent of his views and purposes in a matter which so nearly concerns him and his party. It is, therefore, needless for us to bespeak attention to this singularly able manifesto, which must be regarded as a great deal moro than the in- dividual declaration of Mr. Potter. It is the carefnlly prepared democratic case put into the shape in which it is to go before Congress in the final struggle, if struggle there is to be. It is the programme of action marked out in advance for the emergencies which may arise during the counting of the electoral votes in the presence of Congress on the second Wednesday of February. As such it de- mands and will receive universal publicity in every part of the United’States. As such it challenges scrutiny and discussion by the most gifted and best equipped constitutional reasoners in the republican party, whose logical acumen and legal ingenuity will be | called into activity in assailing the positions of this semi-oflicial democratic manifesto. We pass Mr. Potter's long introductory recital of the election frauds perpetrated in Louisiana during the last four yoars. This is an old beaten story, on which the public judgment was long since formed. We admit that it supplies ample reasons for re- garding the Returning Board of that State with suspicion and for watching its proceedings with vigilance; but, after ail, the result in Louisiana must be judged by the facts of this election. However strong may be the presumption of frand founded on the action of this Board in former elections nothing can be accepted as proofs of frnud on this occasion but authen- ticated facts connected with the present count. The only pertinent question is whether the democratic party of Louisiana has been cheated in this particular election of 1876, Tho Jetter of Mr. Potter assumes, in ad- vance of specific proofs, that this will be the case, and on this basis it proceeds to discuss the proper methods of redress. The whole interest of the discussion lies in what he has to say on this great branch of the subject. At present we will merely state his posi- tions, and briefly summarize his arguments, without undertaking to pass any judgment on their soundness. Mr. Potter maintains | that the President of the Senate has no in- dependent authority to count the votes and declare the result, and that he is subject to the direction of Congress in the discharge of his duties when tho certificates are opened. Mr. Potter gocs into a long and detailed history of what has been dcne on former occasions, and cites authorities to show that it has been the uniform practice for Con- gress to claim and exercise a controlling in- fluence over the count. Among the many instances be quotes the language of Vice President John Adams in declaring tho re- sult in 1797, when he said:—‘In obedience to the constitution and Jaw of the United States and to the command of both houses of Congress, expressed in their reso- Intions, passed at the present session, I declare,” &c. Mr. Clay, in a speech made on the question of counting the votes of Mis- souri in 1821, said:—''The two houses were called upon to examine the votes for Pres- ident and Vice President. Of course they are called on to decide what are votes." Theso are specimens selected from Mr. Potter's long array of precedents and authorities. They all bear in the same direction. He states as tho re- sult of his complete examination of tho records that ‘‘never since the government was established has any Vice President as- sumed to count an electoral vote except as the two houses permitted, nor failed to with- hold or prevent returns, or to reject or an- nounce votes as the houses directed.” After having established, to his own satis- faction, by a copious citation of precedents, the principle that the President of the Senate is subject to the direction of the two houses in counting the electoral votes, Mr. Potter proceeds to argue that disputed votes cannot constitutionally be counted without the concurrence of both houses. He re- gards this as the necessary logical conse- quence of the possession of this superin- tending power by two separately organized bodies, From the nature of the case affirma- tive action by two bodies is impossible except ‘when they agree. Whenever the action of two bodies possessing equal power is necessary to decision a difference between them re- sults in a deadlock, and no affirmative ac- tion is possible. The guarantee against the abuse of this mutual negative on each other possessed by the Senate and the House consists, according to Mr. Potter, in the character, conscionce and oaths of the individual members of the two bodies and their responsibility to their constituents and to public opinion. With this asiumption of authority on the part of either branch to prevent the count- ing of voteg tainted or charged with fraud, it is easy te understand the derision with which Mr, Potter treats the surmise that the House may refuse to be present when the certificates are opened. Its duty to be pres- ent isso cleag and imperative that it | the country and submitting it to the ordeal | which, nevertheless, can bear delay. cannot be shirked, and interest as well as | duty requires the presence of the Represen- | tatives, The democratic Honse will main- tain that it can exclude fraudulent votes, and the democratic members will not miss the occasion to exercise the power so claimed if they should find it necessary. A still stronger motive is suggested by | Mr. Potter for the attendance of the House. A contingency may arise which will require the Representatives to elect the President, and it is maintained that the House is the sole judge of that contingency. Neither the constitution nor the laws make any provision | for informing the Representatives when 9 case of that kind has happened. There is no officer or body which is required or authorized to notify them. The reason why | they require no notification is that they are present and personally cognizant of al} that is done during the count. Being witnesses of the facts they need no other information, and Mr. Potter contends that the House is the sole judge whether the exigency has arisen which makes it their constitutional duty to proceed to elect a President ; in consequence of the failure of any candi- | date to receive a legal majority of votes in the official count. In such a failure the House must immediately proceed to elect the President, and, as the constitution gives no other body the right to decide whether such an emergency has arisen, Mr. Potter contends that the House must necessarily decide this question for itself, This summary will enablo readers to see precisely what the democrrtic line of action will be if Louisiana is counted for Hayes by the Returning Board in dishonest Acfiance of the returns. The democratic House will be present in full force, and when the Lonis- | iana certificates are opened objections will be made to counting those votes. If the two houses disagree, the Representatives will adhere to their own decision. At the end of the count they will decide that there has been ‘no choice by the Electoral Colleges, and proceed at once to elect a President. This is undoubtedly the settled democratic | programme. This is the method of pro- | cedure the party chiefs have deliberately resolved to adopt. We commend their | boldness in placing it so early before | of public discussion. More than two months will intervene before they will need to put it in force, and in the meantime it will be the great argumentative battle ground | of the two political parties. But it is not probable that there will be any change of plan on the part of Mr. Tilden’s supporters ifhe should be counted out by manifest fraud, The Park Commission. The letter of Mr. Martin, President of the Park Commission, and the conversa- tion with him which we printed yes- terday, will set at rest the public's fears that permanent or serious harm may come to the parks through the embar- rassing action of the Board of Apportion- ment. We have the comforting assurance of Mr. Martin that the obstacles put in his way and that of the commission of which he is the head, though making their work more difficult, will not be allowed to injure the Park, The zoological collections are once more open tothe public; the necessary repairs gd on. The enforced and needless restrictions upon expenditure will be so managed by the Commissioners as to delay improve- ments which they hoped to carry forward and for which the time had arrived, but It should be understood that the work of im- proving the Park goes on upon a definite plan, which involves the doing of certain work in each year. Some of this work will now have to be delayed fora year, and thus | the regular progress is interfered with, un- less public opinion forces the Board of Ap- portionment to do what it seems to us and to almost everybody it ought at once to do. It is pretty well understood that Mr. Green is at tho bottom of the deadlock. When the contractors and the blind men for- sook him, and through their inconstancy he failed to become Mayor, his usually amiabie temper became soured, it would seem, and ho began to “make it hot” for the city, as the street boys say. Weare sorry for Mr. Green. If he had taken our advice, and got constant relays of societies and deputations to tender him the nomination thore is no telling what might have happencd. But we beg of him, now that he is about to leave public life, to forgive all his enemies—or rather all thoso whose enemy he has been-- and try to leave behind him n sweet savor of amiability. The Park must be dear to him ; at any rate he for many years made it dear to the city. It was one of his pets ; he will regret if now he leaves it on short allowance; and while we wish him well wo shall not easily forgive him if by an untimely and need- less though not uncharacteristic piece of contrariness he forces the Commissioners to delay needed improvements, or hazards the spoiling of the noble pleasure ground of which New York and the country are proud, and in which for many years he took a fatherly interest. It is too late now for Mr. Green to attempt the part of stepfather. The Board of Apportionment will at any rate probably check Mr. Green’s misapplied zeal, Tan Porrtican Srrvation.--Matters be- gin at last to look really favorable in the disputed States. The force of North- ern public opinion begins to be felt down there. The Louisiana Returning Board yesterday proceeded with more moderation than it at first displayed. In Florida the Cireuit Court has forbidden Governor Stearns to canvass the votes, and commanded the Returning Board to begin work at once. In South Carolina the Supreme Court still has the Returning Board in hand. It heard argument yesterday from counsel for the republican side, and we are surprised to find the name of United States District Attorney Corbin among those who support or defend the Returning Board. He is a federal officer; ought he not to keep out of this partisan struggle? Would not Attor- ney General Taft do well to reprimand his subordinate and instruct him to withdraw from a case in which a federal officer cannot appear without impropriety? | fringement upon the territorial integrity of | j enough that the fact esteemed of most | | event, and the support of the Christians if | and support of the Christians asa first duty, \ England and Russia. Prince Gortschakoff’s note, an outline of which is given in the telegrams, is impor- tant as exhibiting what great dificulties are in the way of a satisfactory adjustment of the main issue between Russia on the one hand and England and Turkey on the other. In the light of this note and the English in- structions to the Marquis of Salisbury it may well be thought that the ambassadors at Constantinople, if they ever get past the preliminary obstacles to the conference, will encounter at the outset of their deliberations a problem that negotiation cannot solve. Turkey, it should be remembered, reso- lutely es the position that consent will not be given, in any circumstances, to the military occupation of Turkish territory by any Power whatever. In this, though it ,cannot precisely be said that the Sultan is | supported by England, yet England's posi- tion is so much nearer to that taken by Turkey than to the ground of the Russians that, if the Ministry shall in any contingency be compelled to choose between these two, there can scarcely be any doubt that the Sultan will in this point receive England's support, Inthe glimpse given of the in- structions of the Marquis of Salisbury the | one point is made definite that he is to | secure the best terms for the Christians in | Turkey thant may be possible without in- | the Ottoman Empire. Here it is clear moment—the fact to which the welfare of the oppressed rayahs is secondary and subordinate-—-is the ‘territorial integrity.” That the Suitan’s reaim shall remain intact is the first solicitude of England. If she can aid the Christians, very well; but sho must aid them subject to the condition that her doing it does not imperil the limits of the Ottoman Empire, or she will not aid them at all. Russian diplomacy takes a precisely op- posite view to that taken in England. As England is for Turkish integrity in any possible, the Russians are for the rescue with as much respect for the territorial in- | tegrity as may be consistent with the full discharge of that primary obligation. Thus Prince Gortschakoff holds that it is neces- sary ‘‘to subordinate the integrity of Turkey to the guarantees which are demanded by the interests of humanity and the pence of Europe.” In other words, Turkey's assent to reforms in her ad- ministration must imperatively be given ; but because of her notorious bad faith her consent is not enough and guarantees must be exacted. No guarantee is effective but foreign control of the whole subject under protection of foreign soldiery quartered in the Sultan's country. If such an occupation is regarded as impairing the ‘territorial integrity” so much the worse for the said in- tegrity, tor we must insist upon the occupa- tion. This is Russia's position as demon- strated by her official declarations, England and Russia will, therefore, enter the conference—if there is any conference— with views diametrically opposed on the only important points to be considered, and each, from all appearance, equally. resolute for its own view and indisposed to compromise, From present appearances, therefore, the difficulties in the negotiation seem to be necessarily insuperable, and only some miraculous mitigation of the temper of the parties can avert war. The Disqualified Vermont Elector. The Vermont Board of Canvassers, con- sisting of the assembled county clerks of the State, met yesterday at Moatpelier, accord- ing to law. Their proceedings excited great | attention and interest from the fact that Mr. Sollace, one of the republican candidates voted for on the republican electoral ticket, is ineligible by the fact that he held the office of postmaster on the day of the elec- tion. The question which awakened so much interest was whether the votes for this ineligible candidate could be legally counted or were to be considered as so many blanks. If thrown out as equivalent to blauk votes the democratic candidate having the highest number of votes might have been declared elected ; and that one vote, gained by a mero accident or blunder, would have decided the Presidential clec- tion in favor of Mr. Tilden, who needs but one additional vote. With so much at stake the question was, of course, ably argued on both sides by some of the most capable lawyers in the State, and we think most readers will agree with us that the republican lawyers had the best of the argument. It was contended on the domocratic side that, inasmuch as Mr. Sollace is clearly in- eligible, all votes given him were null and had the same legal effect as if they had been blank. It was thence argued that they must be thrown out and not counted atall. Had this been done, the other five candidates having the highest number (including one democrat), must have received certificates of election. On the republican side it was maintained that the Board of Canvassers is only a min- isterial body, charged with the mere duty ot counting the roturns as received, and with- out power to go behind them to inquire into their validity. A dccision of the Vermont Supreme Court wascited to sustain this de- cision. It was further maintained that al- though members of the Board might be per- sonaliy convinced that Mr. Sollace was a postmaster on the day of the election, they had no official knowledge of it, no official power to ascertain it by legal proofs, nor any authority to listen to the proffered evidence that such was the fact. After the conclusion of the arguments the Board passed a unani- mous resolution declaring that their duties were strictly ministerial, confined to a mere count of the actual returns and certifying the result to the Secretary of State. We have no doubt that the refusal to count in a democrat is perfectly legal, and are certain that it is in accordance with equity. Nobody questions the intention of the voters to choose five republican electors, and fair-minded men should frown down any attempt to strain the | law against the real intention of tho major- ity, and make the Presidential election de- pend on a mere legal subtlety. Mr. Sollace will be declared olected, but will neglect to | appear at the Electoral College on the ap- pointed day, when the other electors will till the vacancy before proceeding to vote, as | they are authorized to fill it by statute. The professed intention of the democrats to ap- ply to the Supreme Court of Vermont in January is preposterous, considering that the Electoral Colleges will assemble in all the States and cast their votes in December, and that no authority short of Congress can revise their action. Wise Words for Peace. We rejoice to see an article in yesterday's Sun urging patience, absolute peace, order and quiet everywhere. Our contemporary says:—‘Better sub:nit to wrong for the time, however gross, than appeal to any but Jegal, constitutional and peaceful reme- dies." These are wise and patriotic words. ; The Sun has been s0 vigorous and effective supporter of the demo- cratic cause that its temperate views expressed yesterday will have great weight with its party throughout the coun- try ; and these few earnest words which we have quoted will do more good to its side than a!l the silly vaporings of the demo- eratic country press. Mr. Dana has great influence with the country press, and we beg of him to continue to use his powerful pen to tone down their wild and feverish temper. Hecan do more good in this di- rection than even the Hxnatp, for they look to him as a powerful guide, and will follow his counsel as that of one of their ablest and most vigorous leaders. The Henatp is doing what it can for peace and order, and we are very happy to find our sprightly contemporary ranged on our side and animated by the same patriotic purpose. We too hold, and have repeatedly said, that violence, or even the menace of violence, is the greatest possible mistake. We repeat with the Sun, ‘Better submit to wrong for the time, however gross, than appeal to any but legal, constitutional and peaceful remedies.” To counsel the people wisely now, to strengthen the hands and purposes of patriotic men, and to discournge and con- demn rash and violent expressions in this time of popular excitement, this is the great- est public service a journal like the Sun or Henaxp can do--far greater than discover- ing Livingstone, searching for the Northwest passage, or any other enterprise of that kind, When so able and so powerfula journal as the Sun joins us in this patriotic effort to maintain peace and order under all circumstances we feel encouraged to hope for the best results. The Weather. Monday's storm has now moved away to the northeastward, following the course of the western edge of the Gulf Stream. The approach from the westward of another storm centre caused the density of the at- mospheric volume that remained for some days over the mouth of the St. Law- rence to lessen considerably. during yesterday evening. The barrier against the northeastward movement of the storm centre of Monday being thus weakened we find that the disturbance quickly passed away beyond the sphere of our observation. As predicted by the Henarp, the storm that was central in the Lower Missouri Valley took 4 northeastward course to the lakes and has passed into Canada. We shall feel the in- fluence of this disturbance this evening by an increase of temperature and possibly light rain asthe southwesterly winds pass over the Middle States toward the eastern rim of the storm area. Following these winds we may expect acold northwesterly blow, possibly with light snow, as the storm centre Passes our meridian in its course through the St. Lawrence Valley. Snow fell at Duluth, Mich.; St. Paul, Minn., and La Crosse, Wis., during the movement of the storm yesterday afternoon. The places named were swept by the northwestern and northern margin of the depression, and where the cold air came in contact with the warm, humid atmosphere of the storm area. It is probable that a ‘‘norther” will be expe- rienced in Texas, and that fogs will prevail for some days in the Gulf and along the South Atlantic coast. The weather in New York to-day will be cool and partly cloudy, followed by warmer temperature and possi- bly light rains. Cuter Justice Cuurcn is opposed to any change in our electoral system which will ob- literate State lines and melt the whole peo- ple of the United States into a single con- stituency for electing the President, and he is equally opposed to the district system, which forms the essential feature of the plan advocated by Senator Morton. Judge Church would abolish the Presidential elec- ters and have citizens vote directly for the candidates of their choice, the whole vote of cach State to be counted forthe candi- date receiving a majority in that State. This would differ so little from our present sys- tem that the change would hardly be worth making. At present the whole vote of each State is given to the party or candidate which has a majority of its voters, so that Judge Church’s plan would be simply the present system minus the Presidential elec- tors. They are indeed useless, but they alter nothing, and it seems to us that a more thoroughgoing change is necessary than lopping off » mere excrescence from the present system. Crear Cans.—One hundred men willing to subscribe one thousand dollars each now have it in their power to give New York what itso much needs—cheap cabs ; andin another column we print an appeal in behalf of this enterprise, which we commend to our citi- zens. We need not stop at this time to argue the necessity of cheap cabs for the metropo- lis, but now that there is an opportunity to begin the system we would urge its consid- eration upon our readers. ‘There are more than a hundred men in this city who would be willing to give a thousand dollars outright to confer so greats boon upon our popula- tion, while the present opportunity affords a fair promise of paying good dividends as well as of supplying a public want. We trust that such of our citizens as can afford to take an interest in an enterprise so im- portant will give the subject their imme- diate attention, Keep Cool. We have met with a real disappofatre nt, and we suspect aconsiderable pari -- the public here shares it with us. To Florida, abont a week ago, sped two pubhe men, highly esteemed at capable and calm; ané at Tallahassee, to our great delight, they fel! at once into the ranks of what they call down there ‘‘visiting statesmen.” In fact, they took leading places, as was proper, and Northern people who had been anxious before, now rested im peace. It was natural to suppose that General Barlow and Mr. Marble, one republican, the othe: democrat, but both honest, experienced in politics, clear-headed and cool, would unite to watch the political intrigues at Tallahas- see, and act and report for the people and net for their parties. And behold, yester- day found their names—the one at the head of a republican, the other as the author of a democratic, purely partisan representation of affairs. We respectfully call them to order. They are there in the interest of the nation; they ought to co-operate, and to make no publication, at least at this time, in which both cannot agree. Partisan re- ports and assertions can be left to the local or ‘‘visiting” politicians. We beg Messrs. Barlow and Marble to regard them. selves as really ‘‘visiting statesmen.” Tae Wenster Starve in the Centra) Fara is to be unveiled on Saturday next with ap- propriate ceremonies.
