Both Houses Of Congress met yesterday in
Joint convention to count and declare the Elec
tora votes for President and Vice, President Of
the United States. Objection being made to the
votes OF Georgia for Horace Greeley on the
ground that they could not be properly cast for
a dead man, each House retired to its own hall
to vote separately upon the question. The Sem
ate, by vote of IA TO ~, decided that these
votes ought to be counted but the House, by
avote of 102 to rs, decided that they ought not.
The result of this Disagreement, under Joint
rule, WAS that these Georgia votes were e1clud-
cd from the count. Objections to the votes
of Mississippi and Texas were Overruled by both
Houses, but objections to those OF Arkansas and
Louisiana were sustained, and the votes OF these
two latter States were therefore excluded

THE CHICKASA,yS.



A correspondent OF The Yindicd,or, published
at New Doggy, Indian Territory, writing from
Tchomlngo, under date Of January 10, saysi
The ohlckasaw Legislature adjourned on yes.
teriay afternoon.
Among the importdnt acts passed and ap-
proved arc
First. An act adopting the freedmen Of the
Chlckasaws, upon terms set forth IN the treaty
Of 1850, on condition that the United States shall
immediately pay over 20 the Chickasaws one
the freedmen Of the Choctaw aud Chickasaw
natlOns--with the interest thereOn-which
amountsnow to over $4,000. Total, say t9Ib,-
90. This win giSe the Chckaaaws over tgO,OOO
cash, aud would give the ChOciaws over $780,
900, aud enable them to pay on their national
debt and bring their auditors warrants mp to
freedmen OF the ChOctaws.
Second. The Governor OF the Chlckasaws was
directed to call on the President Of the United
states to provide the necessary regulations TO
determine the measure OF compensation for
right Of way" for timber and other building
materials taken pr destroyed by railroads aud
lines Of Telegraph passing through the Ch0Ctaw
aud ChIckasaw country, aud put a stop to the re-
mOval OF timber, &c, on said railroads from the
ChOctaw and ChlcEasaw country IN Texas, or
elsewhere, without ne linis n 81 seq country
and others from cutting and taking timber or
other building materials from the public lands
Of the Choctaws and Chickasaws, or allowing
others TO do so under their names.
The President Is also 10 be called on by the
Governor 10 rcgumto the rates OF charges for
freight and passage on the NJ. X. A T. and other
railroads now being operated, or which may
hereafter be constructed anil operated within
the ChOctaw and Chlckasaw country, so ~ not
TO exceed the rates charged for similar service
within the states Of Missouri An1 Kansas.
SBw INDIAN Foley,
The policy OF the ChickAsaws, II seems, Is To
make no further concessions or giHits until
treaty stipulatiOns now In existence are carried
into effect by the payment to them OF their
claims; and the allotment to them individually
Of their respective shares Of the lands now held
In common by the ChOctaws and Chickasaws.
They made arrangements to press this latter
subject upon the attention Of the Government
| of the United States.
The ChOctaws residing In the Chckasaw dis.
trict will have equal rights In every respect with
| the ChlCkasaws. LO.
