And now came the Citai moment. And tho Edgelield delegation -presenting the certificates of the Su pretne Court-wero poiut blank refused* admission ! Hereupon, as had been previously de termined upon, the whoie body of Dtmo cratic members withdrew in a body from the Stato House, and marching down Muin Street, assembled in Militan' flail.

At 3, p. m., the Democrats met again, kud after sitting for one houi, adjourned again until 7 to-night. The proceedings at the 3 o'clock meeting being in strictly sacret session, we aro uuabio to report them. As to tho organization offne Sena'o. we cannot speak so accurately. Gen Gary was quietly admitted to his seat upon the certif?calo of the Supremo Court? but not sworn in nor aUoiccd lo vote.

The Hon. Clarkson N. Potter, cf New York, has written to the Herald n long and remarkable letter, which will attract wide attention, because the public will regard it-as it, in fact, is-ac an authen tic exposition of the views of iUf demo cratic leaders on question? of tho first magnitude and gravest importance, and an authorized announcement of what the democratic party will do, or at least tttempt to do, In a great and formidable conjuncture which is not unlikely to arise. This elaborate lotter is altogether moro significant than anything which has yet been promulgated in connection with tho delicate constitutional questions which are to be tho staph- of discussion for the ensuing two months. It is a 3tror.g presentation ot* Mr. Tilden's case and of tho course of proceeding which will bc adopted \>y his friends in tho event of the vote of Louisiana being counted for Mr. Hayes. Mr. Petter is a near neighbor of the democratic candi date, an int?malo personal friend who ha? his ftiilort confidence, a lawyer of distinguished ability, a state-man whose fairness of mind Is universally conceded, a citizen of tho highest consideration such a man, in short, as Mr. Tilden would naturally nelect to bo thc expo nent of hi? viows and purposes in a matter which so nearly concerns him md his party. Potter's singularly ab'e manifesto must bo regarded as a great leal moro than the individual dicla ratiou of Mr. Potter. Iiis the careful ly prepared democratic caso put into th" shape in which it is togo before Congress in tho final struggle, if struggle there is to be It is the programme of action .narked out in advance for the emergen cies which may arise during thc count nig of the electoral votes in tho presence of Congress on the.second Wednesday or February. As such it demands and will receive universal publicity in ever}" part of the United States. A's siiijh i^'e.v.l leng'-s scrutiny and discussion by tho most gifted and best equipped constitu tional reasoners in th? republican party, whoso logical act" ai and legal ingonui ty will be called into activity in assailing tho positions of this somi-ofiicial demo cratic manifesto. We pass Mr. Potter's long introductory recital of tho election frauds perpetrated in Louisianajluring thejast lour years. This is an old beaten story, on which the public judgment was long since- termed. We admit tn:?t i: supplies ampio reasons for regarding tba Returning Board of '.hat State with suspicion and for watch lng its proceedings with vigilance; but, after all, tho result in Louisiana must bo judged by the facts of this elect" n. How ever strong may oe ibo presumption of fraud founded on tho action of ddt Board in former elections nothing eau be a< cepted as proofs of this occasion b il au ?.henticated facts connected \.U%*. the present count. Tho only pertinent ques tion is whether tho democratic party of Louisiana has been cheated in mb par-] tic -?ur election of 187(1. The letter of Mr. Potter assumed in ad vaneo of specific proofs, that this will be tho case, and on this basis it proceeds to discuss the proper methods of redress Tho whole interest of tho discussion lies iu wdiat be has to say on tins great brandi of tho subject. At present we will .mordy 'd, I pnsiti ;rr;, and btf?flyisUm'ij rt'r?w l.Fs tit i ^nmon?n, whhnu? undertaking io na M any judgment JU thcir^otmihesh. 1 Fotte/amai^mms that dm PrMldeuiiofj the Senate has no independent autuority j to count tho votos and declare tho reauit, ' m and that ho is subject tc tho direction of j Congress in the discharge of his dnt?os '.vi.rn tho certificates ave oponed. ??r. ? Potter goes into a long and de'ailed his tory of what has been dono on former occasions, and cites authorities to show that it has leen tho uniform practico for Congress to claim and exercise aeon trolling influence over tho count. Among the many instanceshc votes the language ol Vice President John Adams in de claring tho result in 1707, when he said:( -"lu obedience to tho constitution anet law of the United States and to the com mend of both houses of Congress, ex pressed in their resolutions, passed a tho present session, 1 declare," ?feo. Mi Clay, in a speech made on tho questio of counting tho votes of Missouri in if said: "The two houses wore called up to examino thc votes for Pr?sident a Vice President. Of course tho, called on to decido what are These are specimens solected fr potter's long array of precede authorities. They all bear in tho i direction. He states as tho result o complote examination of the records tua '. never since the government was estab lished has any vice-President assumed to count an electoral vote except as the two houses permitted, nor failed to w ith hold or prevent returns, or to reject cr announce votes as tho houses directed " After having established, to his own satisfaction, by a copious citation of pre cedents, tho principle that the President ol'tho Senate is subject to the direction ol' the two houses in counting thc electo ral votes. Mr. Potter proceeds lo argue that disputed voles cannot constitutional ly be counted without tho concurrence of both houses Ho regards lids as the necessary logical cons? quenco jpt thc possession of this su peri ut end >.? by two separately organi4|fl^die? From the naturo of the caso affirmative action by two bodies is impossible ex cept when they ugeeo. Whenever the action ol" two bodies possessing ?(pial power is necessary to a decision a dill'sr ence between tliem results ina deadlock, and no affirmative action is possible. The guarantee against tho abuse of this mutual negative on each ntbur possessed by tho Senate and tho House consists, according to Mr. Potter, in Ute character, conscience and oaths of tho individual members of thc two bodies and their responsibility to their constituents and to public opinion. With this assumption of authority on the part of either branch to prevent the counting of votes tainted or charged with fraud, it is easy to understand the deris ion with which Mr. Potter treats thc sur mise that tho House may ref usu tobe present when the certificates are opened. Its duty ro bo presen?, is so clear and im perative that it cannot be shirked, .?nd interest as well as duty requires the presence of the Representatives. Tho democratic Houso will maintain that it can exclude fraudulent votes, and tho democratic meinbors will not mira the occasion to exorcise the power so claimed if they should find it necessary. A still stronger motive is suggested by Mr. Potter for thc attendance of the House, A contingency may arise which will require thu Representatives to elect the President, and it is maintained that the House is the solo judge of that con tingency. Neither tho constitution nor th? laws make .my provision for inform ing thu Representative? when a case o I that kind has happened. There is no i officer or bod} which ls required or au thor:/' d b> notify them. The reason why tliey n quire no notification is that I they are presentan ! per* ?tinily cognisant j of ail Mi-?t is done Caring Hie count. Be ing witnesses of the farts they ticed un other information, :?nd Mr. Potter con tends that the ii ?USE is tho sole judge whether the exigency has arisen which makes it their constitutional duty tn proceed to elect a President in conse nt.?.,...-.?> of the fall.ir?. bXVsny c*fi ??J^." t?> (rftceive a l*?gal majority Vf votosyU the 9nUiei.il' conni. IO tu ehr a iii lo.T the J Hoi:SH must immediately proceed to olect tn" Pi rsi-?eiif, snd, ns thc conslitu li -'i ?riven no other body Ibo right to de cide whether such an emergency lias arisen, Mr. Potter ontends that thc Hous? must necessarily decido this question for itself. This summary will enable readers to see precisely what the democratic line of Hcti'jii will bc if Louisiana is counted for Hayes by the Returning Board in dis honest defiance of the returns. The democratic lionet; will he present in full force, and when thc Louisiana certificates are oponed objections will bo made to counting those voir.;. If the two bouses disagree, tho Representatives wili adhere to their own docision. At ihc end of thc count they will decido that there has been no choice by the Electoral College, and proceed at once to elect a Presid? nt. This is undoubtedly tho settled demo cratic programme This is tito method j of procedure the party chiefs have de liberately resolved t-? adopt Wocom j mond their boldness in j.?acing ii so early bei'ire thc country and submitting it to thc ordeal of public disco-sion. More than two months will intervene before they will need to put it in force, and in the meantime it will be thc great argumentative battle ground of the two political partie*. But it is nwt probable that there will be any change of plan on the part of Mr. Tilden's supporters if he should bo counted out by manifest fraud. A Compendium ol' thc Political Situ ation. Notwithstanding tho instructions of he .Supremo Court to tho live Radical partisans, who constitute tho Hoard of Slate Canvassers in this Stale, to proceed ut once to issue certificates according to the returns, to tho members of the Leg ishttnre fr.:m the various counties of tho State, and that a rule issue requiring the Board to show cause, on Friday, why a writ of mundamu* should not issue in accordance with the prayer of thc rela tors heretofore published, that body pro ceeded on Wednesday hist, contrary to [ thfLJspint-UjKLthe k-Uer-of ttrf. order, Ti.-nff In secret conclave agreed l{> throw out tho counties oCEdi?o.?cid and Laurens, both of which cou ti ties gave large Demo eratic majorities', and then proceeded to issue certificates of election to all tho Radical candidates <>n the State ticket, t-> the radical candidates for electors for President and vice-President, and then adjourned sine die. This revolutionary action upon the part of lin? board was prompted, no .loubl, by Corbin and Akcruian, their legal advisers, Tt is clearly and. glaring ly in contempt of the Supreme ('oort, and ?sin ended by these had men, not as a rightful and legal way of gaining any ! lawful cud, buta rascally method of ob taining that to which they have no sort of right, legal or moral.

He says the D?mocrate made a Hayes and Hampton canvass. Their stake was the State Judge Mackey, a Republican, and a vary able man, spoke from tho same stump with Hampton throughout the couvas.

It is a fact Ilia' many negroes vote.! for Hampton, and it is also a fact that ultim - dation prevailed in many counties. On this subject Judge Cartier says thc half has not been told. While he was in the State he had a conversation with Sitting-Bull Butler, the leader of the Hamburg and Edgefield mas sacres. Buller : lin ?tied all the facta which proves thai an armed organization exists to intimidate the negroes, but de niel the conclusion. Butler saul it vras .< fact that, while the Democrats, armed, mounted, dressed in red shins, did ride about ibo country roads, he claimed that they had the righi lo, and timi if thc negroes were frightened thereby the Qbu siltation was not violated, and no one was tu blame.
