On the report of the Committee of the Constitution,
issuing the decrees of 10th and 12th October, which fix
the number of Deputies to be elected to the National Con-
gress by each district—

" Considering that the importance and solemnity of the
mission of the Congress require that the national repre-
sentation should lie as corrylete as possible, that to pre-
vent the necessity of new elections, and the delays which
they would occasion, it is advisable to provide beforehand
for the vacancies that may result for double nominations,
resignations, conges, and other causes, decrees—
" Art. 1. In each district the electors, on proceeding
to the election of Deputies, shall name by the same ballot
or by a separate ballot, a number of substitutes equal to
that of the Deputies.
"The number of votes shall determine the rank of the
substitutes, and the order in which they may eventually be
summoned to the Congress.
" Art. 2. A copy of the present decree shall be trans-
mitted to the Chief of the Committee of the Interior, to
insure its execution.
