A KOLEHX PKOT1XT. The .South Carolina Democrat Unite In Laitt Appeal anlnNt the Infmiiou Attempt of Chamberlain to Secure lilt Inauguration by United State Troop . Who Ha Perpetrated the Violence? IRy Telegraph to the Associated Press. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 27. The follow ing dispatch is signed by Senator Gordon, of Georgia: .Senator Johnson, of Virginia; General Wade Hampton, several circuit judges, a large number of stale senators and representatives, white and black, and many other prominent citizens of ths stale. We have .said to the president of the United States that we, the undersigned, visitor from a distance and committee of the democratic members elect of the South Carolina legislature, the democratic executive committee und the citizens, having just seen by an associated press d ispatch that Governor Chamberlain has applied for United States troops to be placed under his order at the assembling of the legislature to-morrow, send this, our solemn protest, against the troop, being placed under command of the governor. We have no objection to the presence of troops, and will co-operate with them in preserving the peace; but we protest against the use of the United States army in controlling the organization of the legislature and enforcing the inaugmration of Governor Chamberlain, who has been defeated by the white and colored voters at the ballot-box. There is not the remotest danger of a disturbance of the peace by the democrats. If it occurs it will be at the instigation of Governor Chamberlain, whose partisans have taken the only lives lost in the late exciting canvass in this state. Not one drop of blood has been shed in any political disturbance except by the republicans, and it is literally true that the democrats Veceived their greatest majorities in the counties where the United States soldiers were stationed. What pretense, therefore, is there for Governor Chamberlain's derutnd for troops to keep the peace? We refer for confirmation of these statements to the comluander of the United States forces at this place and elsewhere j the state. THE FLORIDA BOARD MEETS.

Mr. Mculom, counsel for the democratic candidates, filed a request that the ballotboxes of East Raton Roujre be sent for in or der that the tally sheets and tatements of the votes sealed up in four ol the boxes could be obtained and the vote counted. The documents were sealed up In the "boxes through Ignorance of the law on the part of the coianifcsioners of election. The secretary of the board was instructed on Saturday to telegraph for the boxes, but failed to do so on tiie plea of a want of funds. Sufficient money to pay all expenses was deposited with the secretary by the democratic coun sel, and the necessary message was sent. There were democratic majorities at the polls where the above mistake was made, and unless tiie tally sheets are procured the vote will be thrown out. The board thereafter went into executive session and the room was cleared of all persons except the members and committees. TIIE XECCTIVK fXSSlOS.

TIIE ELECTORAL COL' XT. Kenator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, la of , the Opinion that the Power to Make It KcMlde In the Tito llonscw. The Philadelphia Times publishes an iiteniew with Senator Wallace on the subject of the electoral count, -in which he says: The words of the constitution are, "The president of the senate thai, in the presence of the senate, and hou.-e of representative, open ail the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted." Does this mean that the president of the senate acts ministerially and has sole and exchndve &wer in both opening tiie certificates and counting tiie votes? Or, does it moan that he shall have jniwer alone to open, and the c-ounting of the vote is to be under the control and direction of the two houses of congress? If it means the former there is no jower to arrest an actual fraud, and the .senate and ho us' are present as witness, to the wrong; if it means the latter a remedy may be found. If the president of the senate be vested with full power to count the votes, the language is uraifgely inaopropr ate to confer it. It is not "lie shall open the certificates and count the votes," but it is "he shall open the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted." When we take this language in connection with the fact that the senate and house are to be present, and with the unbroken hue of precedents fcince 171(7, it seems pretty clear that exclusive jwwer to count the votes is Yiot vested in the president of the senate, but a power to count is given to some person or some body. This isjwer is not in the i for it is vital to the existence of - Pc government; it is not reserve'' lDe PfTie. for in the creation of thei-,.veniment th.e-v parted with every po-f. tI,at wa to its perituia - hls Pwtr ta vital and evential -M existence and perpet-

.j- ac general eovernmeni; ior if lie 'V1" lUl ILVb LTC WUUWTU, Alp möi be known who is chosen, and the Machinery of the government is stopped. This counting and the result thereof is the culmination of the popular will, and from the very necessity of the case it inheres in ana belongs to some agency of the government of the United States. It is the right of the people to appoint their electors; it is the right of the Hate to- return its choice through its electoral college, and it is equally the right of the general government to count that vote. What, then, Is counting the vote? Refore we can reckon, number or count the vote-, we mut first learn whether they are vofvs. Mr. Cluy put this very forcibly in If 24, in the Missouri case, when he said: "The constitution required of the two houses to assemble and perform the highest duty that could deoive on a puonc i.o.iy to ascertain w uo hl been, ekcted by the people to admJikiater their national, concerns. In a case of votes coming forward which could not be countM the constitution was silent, but fortunately tlfocnd carried with it the means. The two hous were, called on to enumerate the votes furpresldent, of course they were called on to "decide what e votes."' The authenticity and validity of the certificates pre?eiUed, containing the tally ot the votes, arcfts muca involved in the execution of this great iower, as are the mere reading of the names and figures found therein; and, as a consequence necessarily following this, the regularity of all prior proceedings which resulted-in the certificate can be inquired into oy toe oooy with whom the power reeta. The seal of the Ptate is rmiw fad proof that all is right, but it is no more. 1 he state is the people, not iu mere organism. If its broad seal be used to ceitifya fraud and the popular will legally expressed can be clearlv ascertained, the will of its leoplo overrides the prima facia proof. An inquiry into the facts in such acae is a necearv inciaeni to tue rigni to count, or. as Mr. Clay says, it is a means to the end. It would be a doctrine fraught with terrible consequences to our institutions to hold tliat, in a matter o vital, tue government of the United States was bound by the" f-iitli1f.Q Trform.inoo ct hi dutv bv the governor of a state, or that it could not de termine whether the duties ma .own laws enjoined had been honestly or fraudulently performed, or performed by the ngiit or the wrong person. J ne power to count the votes, as I thus define it, I be lieve resides in the two houses of congress acting concurrently as independent bodies, and they have this power under the constitution, aud without regard to any joint rule. Their presence at the counting is exprestly enjoined by the constitution. It is not one, but both house that are present. a.re tney there as powerless fiectators? Thj senators and members of congress from each state axe there to guard the rights of their people aad their state, dun it be that a fraud luay be perpetrated by the electors of a state in their return, and the senators and members there from enjoined by the constitution to be pres ent can do nothing to avert it? If there is no clioice by the-clectoral , college, the house immediately elects a president How is the house omcially to fcnow that there is or is not a choice. Are they to learn this from an official who by the constitution ha3 not even a seat within their hall, or are they to learn it from their own count and supervision? In the case of no choice for vice president, the senate elects one. and it is from their prescne and particijvaiion uiey tearn oiiiciany n;fc luere is no choice, lue preceuents an eeiaonsn me fact that tle count is made by the senate and house acting through tellers in the presence of both houses tointlv assembled.
