Laid on the table.
ONE DAY FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
Mr. ATHERroN called up this bill
lSOme amendments were proposed The dav
fixed by the bill is the Tuesday next after the rct
Monday IN November. The bill does not take ef-
iect I'LL after the next ensuing election nor at all
IN South Carolina, where the electors are appointed
by the Legislature
Mr. ATHERToN was very DESTROYS that the bill
should take effect upon the next election.
Mr. ALLEN stated that pipe laying" was carried
tial election in 1870 He also wished the bill TO
take effect upon the next election
Mr. BERRlEN had introduced an amendment to
postpone the effect OF the bill till after the NEXT
election, and he stated the reason to be The incon
venience which would result TO some of the States
should 1t be otherwise.
Mr. ALLEN desired to know il there were any
Senators who desired to the same frauds in the
election OF lSll as We're perpetrated in 1910 He
| said there would be no Dconvenie at all 10 any
OF the States. Even South Carolina could call her
Legislature together II was bill for the preven-
ton of fraud, and not for the appropriation of mo-
ney. He said he should call the ayes and noes upon
the question, and let the people who were in
favor OF having an uncontamiuated election. The
vote should be an element IN the next canvass
| Mr. McDUFFIE said that South Carolina was in
favor OF The one day principle, and would submit
to any reasonable inconvenience to carry il into
effect He said If the amendment should pass which
makes the bill applicable to the next ensuing cleo
tieD, then he admitted it would be a matter VI con-
yenlence TO pass the amendment to except South
| Carolina
| Mr.. CLAYTON was opposed to making the bill sp-
ply to the next election. 1t would be inconvenient
In Delaware.
Mr.. DAYTON made similar remarks respecting
| New Jersey
Mr.. BERRIEN said, in reply to Mr. Foster, that if
this bill was passed 1t would ipso tacto repeal all
conflicting State laws.
| Mr.. FOSTER was in favor Of the one day princi-
sle. But it would render it necessary for every
State in the Union to convene its Legislature TO
make provisions Tor carrying the law into effect.
mr. suoans1S SAD 'ss 9h power Sopsrsss had
Therefore if this bill passes it will take further
effect upon State laws than to change the time or
the day. And il would be the same as il this bill
were TO INK the day IN the State laws which the
election must be held. IL will abrogate no part Of
State laws except so much OF their laws Al relates
to the DAY OF THE ELEcrIoN-the balance Of their
laws will remain before. Therefore there would
he no occasion for any Legislature TO be convened
TO do such work Of approximation as 10 re- enact
a law OF Congress Age,e dctnm.
The discussion was pursued by Messrs. Clayton,
Miller ana Henderson.
Mr. BAKRow moved to lay the bill on the table.
