The pretended reelection Of Senator Swim, by the
Legislature Of California, is subject OF general
discussion in political circles aud while is conceded
all hands that the Senate will bs the judge OF the
qualifications Of it's members there appears to be
great diversity of opinion to the probable result Of
the controversy think the Senate win have but little
difficulty in diposiOg of the matter IL 1t no. already
res Gdjudicaa. Precedent If in point be found
must settle the question 1t will be recolected that Mr.
Yulee claimed United States Senstor from the
State Of Florida these grounds There forytwo
members OF the Legislature present when the was
taken for Senator Mr. Yulee received votes
and there twenty blank ballots The Legislature
continued balotting, and after long time Mr. Mallory
receiving majority of the votes cast declared duly
elected Thus the contest brought before the Senate
Of the United States, Mr. Yues claiming to have been
elected the frst ballot How the Senate woald have
decided his question had the voting stopped after tho
first ballot cast s not known but under the facts
they existed the Senate decided that the legislature
being the most competen interpreter OF Its action
had negsttved the i,ea of Mr.. Yuees election by pro-
ceeding with the bsllo;tngs. Will not this dssision
cover precisely, Dr.. OWNS case and * So may We
not consider the controversy already ssttei9 Yet the
eat in the Senate chamber Is not exactly the bone or
contention with the Doctor, much the mileage to
be falowed even though ussuccessful for it hiss be-
gress to allow ths regular esge to all par lies contest

If it should be decided that plurality vote did re
elect Senator Gvin, then by calculating the Of
times ne was Re elected en- tho different ballots and
multiplying that number BY find the Doctor elect
