i e democrats about washington that hayes will have the necessary electoral votes returned to give him majority a of one this admission i the trey tor a terrible denunciation of what attley hey ard are pleased to call fraude frauds and they also talk of ar affairs affair ip being transferred to con gress gross where justice is to be secured to them by throwing out enough of the re publican republican states to elect tji den the question of the powers of congress is thus raised and bot both parties are making a careful examination of the laii laws and constitution this has heen been the feature of 0 the days discussion the twenty second joint yule Is claimed by the democrats to be still in force foice be bet bei i cause the tho present housa house agreed to the joint rules and th senat senate being a continuous body the including this one stana till specially put aside on iii ill this technicality they think the holi holl house 8 will be abitt able to out the vote of louisiana

rule ruie and they talk about the counting of the voto lis ils though they had bad sole i power powei all this is mere vapor as all their lawyers know the only possible course of mischief for the louse house I to pursue under und erthe the existing law is to refuse to attend when the votes are counted this they threaten tile the democrats would propose that the house elect the president burjust but just how they would get a et h him im inaugurated without a revolution does not appear they hold bold that the vacancy is not such a one as the law provides shall bo be filled by the president of tile the senate borne prominent republicans hold this view and say that clearly grant would hold over till the next election and qualification of his successor one point appears very simple and clear not any one of the actions which are talked of to defeat the inauguration of hayes I 1 if he is returned elected Is within the tile constitution and laws lawe the present trouble is the fault of the democratic party in congress they cannot throw off the responsibility lity during the last four years the danger has been pointed out and attempts have been frequently made to provide against it the democrats ara aro on the records as delaying defying and obstructing aud and finally defeating a altogether the law which would have provided a fair method for settling the question at
