BILL has been introduced in the
State Senate providing that the Presi-
dent of the Senate shall proclaim the
result of the late election in this State
for representatives in Congress. and
issue certificates OF election TO the per-
sons receiving majority of the votes
cast in the several districts. 1t is pro-
posed in this way to avoid the evil from
which the State is likely to suffer by
reason OF the Governors refusal to issue
the certificates necessary to entitle the
representatives to nave their names
placed upon the roll of members OF the
FJrty-third Cougress The Governor
having tailed to discharge the duty en-
joined upon him by law, the Legislature
now proposes to designate another OIL
ficer whose duty it shall be TO do what
the Governor has failed to do in this
regard.
1t is entirely within the province OF
the legislature to provide the manner o
ascerta ming or declaring the result OF
ang election held within the State. The
proposed law is based upon the author
" given by the llta section OF the
4tn article OF the Constitution, and
constitutes merely al amendment 10
the Code now q torce. The only ques-
uon which can arise "a to the validity
OF the enactment is in respect TO iis dat
lng back so as to include the election
hed on the 24th of October last. AT
the time OF the election tie law requir-
ei the Governor TO ascertain and GER
try the result and, according to section
II, chapter 7, OF the Code then in force,
the Governor was expressly command
ed to :sive certificate under his hand
and the great seal of the Safe to
every person elected representative In
the Congress OF the United States The
form OF certificate is FULLY set forth and
aves no room Tor the interpolation OF
such pr3visos as Governor & JACOB has
seen fit to insert in the Hypothetical
cer,itisates' which he has given to the
gentlemen elected on the 24lh Of Octo-
her
The sole desire OF the Legislature
aud Of the people OF the State IN TINS
m ,uer. is, simply, that some person may
be admitted as representative OF each
district aud act as such while the ques-
ton AZ to which was the proper time
for the election is being determined oV
the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tlons.
IL seems inevitable that there will be
n contest; but the people OF the Stale
desire to have some representative IN the
lower HOUSE OF Congress from the time
ofits organization aud are unwilling TO
wait until the contest IL decided before
ea,ybody is admitted TO seat as a rep
resentative OF West Virginia. We be
iieve tnat the designation OF those who
have prima facis right to
the seats is the sole object which
j. sought to be accomplished by the
legislature in directing the President ol
me Senate to declare the result oil the
Conyressional election
