A Piece OF History.

The following letter from Hon. Samuel J.
Bsyard, published in the Philadelphia Age on
Saturday, is an interesting account of the &C
ton of the United States Senate in 1926, re-
lative to the election of Senator by his own
vote:
CAMDEN, March 80, 1866.
To the Editors Of the Age:
GENTLEMEN I'm the Age in referring to
the election of Ephraim Bateman to the SEN
ate of the United States, by his own vote, in
1926, mot 1927 in joint meeting of the Leg
islature of New Jersey, you remark: The
legality of his vote was never questioned,
either in New Jersey or in the Senate of the
United States" This is mistake. Eminent
gentlemen of the Jackson party desired that
it should be settled by the Senate of the Unit
ed States, whether member of the Legisla-
ture had right to vote for himself for Sena-
tor. A protest was prepared denying the ex-
istence of any such right. John E. Eaton,
Senator from Tennessee, offered the protest
to the Senate-Mr Mahlcn Dickerson, from
considerations of delicacy to his colleague, de-
clining to present it.
The protest was referred to committee OF
the ablest lawyers in the Senate. Among
others, Mr. Van Buren,, of New York, Mr..
Berrien, Of Georgia, and, think, if reulsm-
Der correctly, Mr.. Tazewell: Of Virginia, were
members of the committee.
The committee reported that there was no.
thing in the proceedings of the joint meeting
referred to illegal or improper, or invalidating
| the election of Dr. Bateman.
Thus the Senate of the United States delib-
erately determined that Senator could right
| fully vote for himself. Hence it follows that
