strucing the President Of the Senate and
Speaker of the House of Representatives
10 examine the returns for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and 10 have the clerk call off the
counties alphabetically, and where differ
ence of opinion existed as to the vote Of any
county, then the two Houses were TO decide
the question, and declare who was elected
Lieutenant Governor. The deliberations

and then both branches will be fully or
ganized and prepared 10 proceed with bus
mess, without interruption, at least until

taines the following:

ses in joint session decided the Lieut.. Gov
ernor's election, by declaring Hancock Jack
son duly elected.

pro tenn, of the Senate, as the presiding Of
ficer of the joint session declared VIM.

the Hon. R. Z. Harrison, speaker Of the
House Of Representatives., declared Han
cock Jackson duly elected. The joint ses-
sion then passed upon the amended returns
from several counties and declared Jackson
the Lieut.. Governor. The senate then re.
paired to its Chamber, when the oath of of
fee was ministered 10 Mr.. Jackson by the
Hon. Jno. D. Stevenson. Upon taking the
chair Mr.. J. delivered short address, APP
propriate to the occasion and the Senpte

under the seal of the Secretary of State,
elected Mr.. Newland; Immediately after
