Legislature.

The law made 1t the duty OF the Speak
er. on the Monday following the meeting Of
the Legislature, to proclaim the vote FOR
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, in the
presence of both Houses Therefore, ,on
that day message was sent to the Senate,
requesting it to meet the House, at Ger
tain hour, to hear the vote proclaimed
The ) mate was dubious that something was
wrong, and feared that, should the Senate
meet iE convention, the Democrats would
tins.anter) elect two United States Sena-
tors; therefore, they concluded not to meet
the House; finally, however, a portion Of
them thought they would do as the law re-
quired, and repaired to the House, heard
the vote proclaimed, and the oath of office
administered. After the ceremonies were
over, and good feeling seemed to prevail
generally, quite an exciting debate sprung
up in the Senate, VIXEN the journal was
read The record stated that the Senate
had met the House in convention. for the
purpose Of hearing the vote proclaimed
Some OF the Senators argued that there was
no such meeting--that the journal was
wrong and should be corrected according
TO the facts in the case; Others argued that
the Senate did meet the House. as the law
required, and the journal was correct.

that the Republican members are driven to.
