Electoral votes, both houses of Congress adopted
joint rules having special reference to the case
of Georgia, providing that the presiding officer
should declare what the result would be with
and without the vote of Georgia. Id convention
Butler objected to counting the vote Of Georgia,
The Senate voted the objection not in order, but
the House decided against the vote of Georga
being counted. Wade announcing that the Joint
rules had been sustained, Butler insisted upon
his objection and appealing from the decision,
received the reply that there was no appeal. At
this point great excitement prevailed i the Presi7

cited convention, Losing Sight of all order and
decorum, Senators and Representatives sprang
to their feet hurting denuncations at each other,
and stormy and disgraceful scene was enacted
in the hall Of the House of Representatives

Darcy McGee, confessed that he was present
when McGee was shot, but denied that he took
any part in the shooting. The evidence on
which. he was convicted, was entirely circnm-

statement is correct. However, it had no
weight with those who, demanded vengeance in
retaliation for the murder OF one Of the strong

Great improvement has been made upon the old

sace is hard and leyel, while upon down-erade
the only limit is in the courage Of the rider.
The same class of skill and exertion is called
out as upon skates. Upon an ordinary two
