epectaele-these score Of judges holding
the balance evenly between their country
and the traitor confederaey, weighing the
electoral votes upon enc. side or the other,

Of time might have been sared, and, having
solemn1y committed The decision to chance,
ali hands would hare been bound to abide by
It without grumbling.
