Mfeeting of the Several Electoral Coileges—The counting of the Vote Jby Congress—

wh!ch

Senate's

X«w York Times.

jjXhe extreme doubt in which the returhs received yesterday, left the result of the Presidential election, has made the counting of the electoral vote in February next, likely to be an event of very tfreat interest and importance. On more than one occasion the defects of the machinery for determining which of two or more candidates have been legally elected to {he Presidency, have been made to remedy fiem, but while none of the efforts have met with success, it has also h€en fortunate that on no occasion which iiai ever arisen on, has the actual result lieen affected by the vote of any state

forwarded its vole, and the valid

ity of whose return has been questioned. Nbw it seems possible that such a contingency may arise.

No provision has ever been made tor settling a dispute of this kjrid. Section i, article

of the constitution directs that

"cach state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature therecf may direct, a number of electors equal to the whole nutnber of senators and representatives to which the state may be entitled in the Congress but no senator or representative, or person holding an^ olfice ol

or profit under the United States, shaJl be appointed an elector." The twelfth amendment ot tiie constitution provides that Hie electors "meet in

their

respective states, and vote by Fallot for president ami vice^ president, ope of whom shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. .And they shall make disiinct lists ol all iiersons voted for as president, and ot all aersons voted foi as vice president, and Of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United Stamps, directed to the president of the Senate. The president of the Senate shall, in the presence ol the Senate and llouae of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the vote* shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes for president Shall he the president, if such number be a majority of the whole number of elcct oi\s appointed," etc.

By acts of 1793 and 1804, as adopted in the revised statues of the United Stales, the following regulations are made:

Sec. 135. The electors for cach state shall meet aid give their votes upon the first Wednesday in December in the year in which they are appointed, at such plaix, iti each state as the legislature ef such state shall direct.

Sec. 136. It shall be the duty of the executive of each*8tate to cause tlwee lists of the names ol the electors of such state to be made and certified, and to be delivered to the electors on or before the c.aj on which they are required, by the pre coding section, to meet.

ISec. 137. The electors shall vote for president and vifce president, respectively, in the manner directed by the constitu-

Scc 138. The'electors shall make and sign" three certificates of all the votes given bv them, each of which certificates sfiall contain two distinct lists, one of the vot&s for president and the othei ot the votes for vice president, and shall annex to each of the certificates one of the lists of the electors, which shall ha\ been fttrnishd to them hy direction of the cxedbtive of the (rtate

Sec. 130. The 'electors shall seal up the certificates so made by them, and ctfttify upon each that the lists ot all the votes of such state given for president, acd all of the votes given for vice president, are contained therein.

Sec. 140: The Electors shall dispose ofthe certificates thus made by them in th& following manner:

One- They shall, by writing under thdir hands, or under the hands ot a maianfv of them, appoint a person to take charge of and deliver to thfe president ox the Senate, at the seat of government, before the first Wednesday in January then next ensuing one 01 the certificates. -Two. Thev shall forthwith forward by the postoffice to the president of the Sienate, at the seat of government, one other of the certificates."

Three. They shall forthwith cause the otK'er ofthe certificates to be delivered to tficjudgc of that district in which the et&tors shall assemble. "Sec. I42. Congress shall be in st.vion oftytW second Wednesday in February Mieceeding every meeting of the electors, aSW the certificates, or so many of them as have, been received, shall then be opened, the votes counted, and the persons to fill the offices of president and viCe-presidcnt cwiumcd and declared, nifEeable to the constitution."

On several occasions prior to 1869 objections had beeamadc to receiving the votes of certain states on account ot alleged irregularities, but no6uch vote was ,cvferformally rejected. In 1864 a resolution was adopted bv Congress excluding the electoral votes o£ states then in the rebellion, but as no votes were reccivtifflhfom any of them} none were rejected.

A precedent was, however, set for the rejection 6f the vote of a state by a, joint resolution concurred in by both houses of Congress. 41V hen the questions arose during the first half of the ccatary touching the acceptance of rejection of the votes of the the return* from which were irregular, long debates sometimes arose wtuoh seriously interfered with the pminpt announcement of the result. To cuLcff such debatfe the twenty-second rule of the tt$o houses was adopted Wi86s, and rcadS£t6d by cach succeeding congress except tlie present.. The following is the text of the rule: "If, upon the reading of any such xxf-

arise fat regard to the $ ©ft '-he a therein certified, fee same naying 1 stated by the presiding, officer, the ,jx.»ate shall thereupon withdraw, and eaidtluest'on shall be submitted to that body for its decision .and the speaker of

-?ir? 1 4- jj^. -3 i,

the House shall in like manner submit the said question to the House for its decision, and no qnestion shall be decided

afti-m-'Jvclv,

and all votes objected to

shall be" counted except by the concurrent votes ot the two Houses, which being obtained, the two Houses

shall

reassemble, and the presid-

ing officer shall then announce the decision of the question submitted and upon such question there shall be no debate in either House, and any other question (0 thi« object for which the two Houses are assembled, may be submitted and determined in like manner.

In 1873 the electoral votes were rejected from several states under this rule, but its operations were so unsatisfactory that the sentiment at the time was almost unanimous not only for its repeal, but also for an entire change in the mode of electing president. It was repealed at the last session of congress by a failure of the Senate to adopt it.

From this hasty review it appears (1) that the president'of the senate has never assumed to determine any question as to the v.i'Ml: ofthe vote received from any state, but that when such qucstionaAave arisen they have invariably been retSred to the two houses of congress for their decision. 11(2.) That neither House of Congress by itself has ever claimed the right to eject the vote of any state, 0/ to determine, in case vo sets of returns from a state appear, which of them shall be counted, except by authority of the twentv-.?econd joint rule, which no longer exists. (3.) That while neither the constitution nor the laws of the United States expressly provide the means of determining controversies that may arise in regard to the counting of the electoral vote^ ot any state, that power has been exercised by* the concurrent action of the two

Houses of Congress.

JOHN SMITH.

THE MAN WHO HAD RETURNKl* I'ROM THE CENTENNIAL. From the Cincinnati Saturday Night.]

A bashful-appearing man stepped into the Cincinnati Enquirer editorial room the other evening, and edging up to the table of the managing editor, hat in hand, said in a hesitating way

You like little items for your paper, I suppose "Certainly," replied Mr. Cockerill, "a newspaper "like this, is made up of little items. What have you got to offer

Well," said the bashful young man, playing with his hat-band, my name is Smith and I've just got home.' •'Glad to 6ee you back again, Mr. Smith," said Mr. fcockcrill, "been gone long "I have been," said Mr. Smith, with a tremor of pride in his voice, "to the Centennial, and if you want to make a little notice

What," cried Cockerill, tpringmg to his feet "you've been to the Centennial? And you've got back Give us your hand I'm delighted to sec you. Spear, let me introduce you to John Smith. John has been to the Centennial!"

Spear shook hands very warmly with Mr. Smith, and then ran to the aperture communicating with the reporter's room and shouted, Oh, Shaunnessey, comc in here, quick here's a man that's b:en to the Centennial."

Then Shaunnessey bounded in, followed bv his assistants, all of whom embraced 'the bewildered Smith warmly, and expressed the gratification it afforded them fo meet a man who had been to the great National Exhibition. Word got down stairs some how, and Joe McDowell, Bill Small and Uncle Joe Shadenger came up stairs at a tearing rate to gaze upon the individual who had been to the Exposition. It was too much for the modest man to bear, and, murmuring something about making an item of his return if they wanted to, he hurried out just in lime to meet on the stairs the fore man and thirty-two compositors—all eager to get a glimpr.e of the man who had been to the Centennial."
