Everybody knew that the result wo Il
not be changed by counting or omit
ting to count the vote OF Georgia,
and this was thought to be conve-
nient and proper way to avoid the
issue as to whether tie State is or is
not in the Union. The last member
of the Senate had hardly got out of
the chamber before Butler was again
on the aoor, protesting on the part
OF the House against the ruling by
Mr.. Wade in the joint convention,
and declaring it an act of tyranny
An objection to this motion was
over ruled by Speaker Colfax. But
Ter spoke for half on hour in the
most boisterous and frantic manner,
appealing to the passions of his as
sociates in the House, during which
time not less than 100 members were
on their feet, shouting and gesticu-
hating in the most vehement manner
Mr. Colfax then called Mr. Dawes to
the CT air, and himself descended to
the floor, and asked the privilege Of
correcting q statement made by Mr.
Butter, bGt Butler refused to yield.
Mr. Shellaber then got the floor and
gave it to Colfax, who made = brief
speech, calling the attention OF the
House % tue two rules under which
TIE joint convention acted, warmly
rebuking the disorderly proceedings
and contending that Mr.. Wade's
course was in accordance herewith.
After Mr.. Coliax' 5 speech tie mem-
bcrs were in a calmer mood; the
passions excited by Batler were now
abated and the joint convention pro
ceeded to count the vote; and Grant
and C9lfax were formally declared
elected President and Vice President
Of the United States.
The course pursued by Mr. Colfax
IN the joint convention is but anoth
er manifestation of his willingness to
stand firm by the right under the
most extreme circumstances, q
course which commends itself to the
VIII Gle country.

From The Chicago Tribune we learn
that on the tenth instant, the Senate
and House of Representatives of the
United States met in Joint committee
for the purpose OF counting the cleo
toral votes for President and Vice
President.
The joint convention of the two
branches ofCongress was called to
order at one o. clock by Mr. Wade,
President of the Senate. TIE vote
Of fifteen states having been amour
ced, then came the vote ofLouisiana
to which Mr. Mullins, of Tennessee,
objected. ut this juncture, dozen
members were on their feet, in an in
slant, ohjecting, and another dozen
around Mullins trying to get him to
withdraw his objection, but Mullins
declined, stating that them ere Sen
ators' sh lid go back to their own
end OF tie Capitol" meaning that
the joint convention of the two
branches should be dissolved under
a joint rule Of the two houses. Mr..
Wade enforced the joint rule, and
directed the Senate to return to its
chamber.
Within half an hour both hoases
had voted to receive the vote of Lou
isiana. and the joint convention re-
assembled. Here Mr. Butler inter-
posed an objection to its reception.
The scene that followed cannot be
explained without brief statement
oftle IS under which the joint
conve ION acted, and by which the
presto 81 officer was governed four
years ago, when the country was in
its last struggle with the rebellion.
In February, a few days before the
second electoral vote for Lincoln was
counted. the two houses of Congress
adopted, each for itself, what i,
known as the twenty second joint
rule, tie point ofwhich is, that if in
counting the electoral vote any ques-
ton shall arise about the vote of any
State, the Senate shall at once retire
to its chamber, ard each branch shall
then decide the question at Issue
without debate. On Monday last,
each br2ne .or itself. and by very
decided l. aioriiy, adopteda new rule
having sole nd especial reference to
the vote o. Georgia. 1t was moved
in the Senate; and carried through
the House. Tie House, as every
body knows, has admitted members
from Georgia, while the Senate has
as yet not acted on the question OF
admitting members from that State.
Such being the situation, it was tho't
advisable, whether wisely or unwise
ly it is notnow necessary to consid-
er, to adopt rule applicable only to
that State, and intended to practical
~ settle in advance any question
that might lie raised with reference
