rnR President OPPOSED TO THE BUREAU BILL.
The Freedmen's Bureau, or LaZzaroni bill,
as ii has been called, is condemned by many OF

rHg KEW JERSEY sBSAToRsuIP.
The Judiciary Committee of the Senate, In
their report sustaining the legality OF HOnora-
bio John ID. Stock ton selection rs Senator from
New Jersey, find no question 10 examine,
except that furnished by the fact that 4 plu-
rality instead OF n majority over all, voted for
him n the Joint meeting. They find, further,
such fact to be no impediment, If accom-
plished by authority of law, rs in the case of
many, perhaps majority, OF the members OF
the National House of Representatives. In
this case the Constitution of New Jersey
makes the joint meeting a Legislature in itself;
and while the laws OF that state arc silent
! upon the subject OF plurality election, they
! do authorize the election of Senators by joint
| meeting, whose uniform practice, since the
! foundation of the Government, has been TO
! prescribe its own rules, by which, at one time,
| Il majority over all would be required 10 elect
! at another, 4 majority OF those present and at
/ another, election BY acclamatiOn be autho-
! rized. The conclusion Is, therefore, that the
| meeting had the right 10 prescribe the rule
under " hich it acted, and that he was elected,
| not simply by the will Of those who voted for
| him, but by the will OF the joint meeting
| which made the rule.
