Now that the senseless prejudices

slider what valid claim they have upon

EASTER-NAY.


This. although it is what is known AS
a movable feast is kept as the anni-
versary of the resurrection OF jesus
Christ. Amongst the histories. Gus
toms and traditions Of the day these
which are enumerated below are
some. Like many another thing
which is reyered by the Christian
world. the name Easter is said to
have pagan origin, having derived
its name from the old Saxon deity.
Eost.,e. It is otherwise asserted that
It obtains its origin from the word
Osten hich signifies rising. Or the
establishing of the time when East
or is to be held the books furnish
many interesting statements. The
praye. book says: Easter day IA
always the first Sunday after the full
moon which happens upon or next
after the 21st of March; and il the
full moon happens on Sunday.
Easter day is the Sunday after. 1t
seems that the manner of determln-
ing the time of the occurrence OF
Easter day is the result OF quarrel
which took place between the
:. Eastern and Western churches;
the converted Jews and Armenians OF
the Asia,ic Church holding to the
celebration of Christ's resurrection
IN the recurrence of the Jewish
Passover or Nissan; and the Romlsh
authorities insisting upon a different
day. Thus it happened that the En-
peror Constantine at the time OF the
holding of tho Ecnmenical Council
of Nice A. D. 325) took steps IN
the matter which resulted in the lay
ing down of these rules. to-wit:
! 1 That the 21st day of March be
accounted the Vernal Solstice.
2. That the full moon happening
upou or next after the 2lst Of March
shall be taken for the full of the
moon of Nissan.
3 That the Lords day next fol
lowing that full moon be Easter
Sunday.
l. But if the full moon happen
upon a Sunday, yesterday shall be
the Sunday after.
Subsequent to this time a "bnii
went forth from the Vatican decree
ing that, IF any bishop. priest OF
deacon celebrate the Holy Feast OF
yesterday before the vernal equinox
as the Jews do. let him be deposed.

The Votes Being Counted by Con.
Eress.
WAsmSGTos, February 11.-At O'Clock
to-day the Senate proceeded to the bali O;
the House Of Representatives for the pur.
pose Of counting in joint session the presi.
Dental electoral votes. The crowd Of spec
tators Was not very large.
The Senate separated from the House on
three Georgia votes cast for Greeley, the
Senate voting to count them and the House
voting nay. They were consequently cast
out. The whole vote of Mississippi was
counted. After some disagreement on count
ing the Texas vote it was finally counted,
both Houses concurrng.
Two returns were presented from LOU
isiana-the first being made within the
time prescribed by law; the other, one day
after that time by messenger. Both were
received in the legal time by mail. The
first received was read first. It was GER
titled by Secretary Of State Bovee.
The electors named in Boyee'S certificate
voted for Grant and Wilson. Two of The
electors being absent, those present filled the
vacancies. The second package was received
by messenger on the I'd of january. This
college filled q vacancy, voted blank for Pre-
sident, and cast full vote for Gratz Brown.
This college was recognized by Slater, re-
glster of votes, and certified to by Governor
Warmoth. When these credentials were
read number of objections were read to
the vote OF either board.
Job Stevenson objected to count the vote,
As the election was not in accordance with
law.
Mr. Carpenter, Of Wisconsin, objected to
count the vote for Grant and Wilson because
there was a legal government in New Or.
leans Of republican character. Mr.. Trum.
bull objected to count the vote for Grant
and wilson because Boyee was not Secretary
of State at the time, and that the figures
upon which Boyee's certificates were made
were not true, according to his own evidence
Here the Houses separated TO vote on the
Arkansas and Louisiana questions.
The House voted to count Arkansas, and
is now voting OH Louisiana; but the Senate
(in separate SESSION. has excluded both, and
the count fails for want of concurrence.
Most Of the southern representatye&yoted
to count Georgia's three votes for Greeley.
Senator ConXliDg encountered no;able
defeat to-day in pressing declarations regard
ing the electoral vote. Mr.. West, of Lousi-
ana, voted steadily with Mr.. Conkling.
