The decrease in loans in Heated in the

by Mondays liberal collections.
The demand for money continues fsir
both at the banks and outside, and street

We notice fair movement in gold, which
continues scarce, and still rules up to and

Senator IHoIton's Proposed HethOd for
Counting the Totes.
The bill reported to the United States Senate
by Mr.. Morton to regulate the counting of votes
for President and Vice-President provides that
both houses of Congress mail meet together at
l O'Clock Oh the last Wednesday in January next
succeeding the meeting of the Electoral College.
and be presided over by the President of the
Senate. One teller shall be appointed by the
Senate and two by the House, and they shall re-
ceive from the presiding officer tho certificates
az they are opened, and after reading them
aloud shall make q list of votes rs they appear
from the certificates. The result of their
count. and names of persons. if any, elected.
shall then be announced by the President of
the Senate. If. however. upon the reading of
any of the certificates, any question shall be
raised in regard to counting the votes therein
certified, the Senate shall Withdraw to its cham
Dor and each house shall decide upon the que.-
ton raised. No electoral vote or votes from anv
State. to the counting Of which objections have
been made, shall be rejected, except BY affirma-
tive vote OF the two houses. When the tive
houses have voted, they shall Immediately re-
assemble, and the presiding officer shall then
announce the decision of the question sub
mitted. And any other question pertinent to
the object for which the two houses are assem-
bled may be submitted and determined in like
manner.
The second section of the bill provides that if
more than one return shall be received by the
President of the Senate from a State purporting
to be a certificate of electoral votes given at the
last preceding election for President and Vice
President in such State. all such returns NAV he
opened by him in the presence of the two
houses, when assembled to count the votes, and
return shall be counted which the two
houses, and they acting separately, shall de-
eide to be the true and valid return.
The remaining sections of the bill limit each
and Representative to ten minutes
on any one question provided, that
after such debate has lasted two hours the ma
of each house may direct the main ques-
ton to be put without further debate and pro-
vide that the joint meeting of the two houses

THE GREAT SCANDAL TRIAL.

Tre7ty-ftlb Ddy.-This was decidedly the
dullest day of the trial SO far. Tilton was still
in the hands of Mr.. Evarts. but nothing new
was elected from the witness, the larger part of
the day being consumed liz reading the letters
that passed between Tlton and his wife. which
were published i'll the Chicago Tribune last
summer.
Trenty-sir:h Day-Mr. Evarts continued his
keen crots-questioning Of Tiiton, but failed to
elicit anything of special value to the defense.
Another mass of correspondence between the
witness and his wife was read. and altogether
the days proceedings were dull and uninterest-
ing.
T~,renty-serenh Doy-Ihe REORGANIZATION
of Tilton WAS continued. the most important
testimony elected by the defeuse WAS the adj
mission from the witness that tue scandal was
first made public through him-tnat lie told his
mother-in-law about it, and she told all the
world" He denied having gone a-swimming
with Victoria Woodruff, but admitted having
driven to the beach with the great free-lover.
He acknowledged his sympathy and admiration
for the French Communists.
T,rfmty-eighh Day-Mr. Evarts still pursued
his severe REORGANIZATION Of Tlton, but moth
ing Of Importance was elected from the witness.
He WAS profuse in euiogy of lis wife. though
maintaining stoutly that she confessed her
adultery. During the examination, TiIton's
wife frequently prompted the counsel for the
defense in their questions.
Trenty-ninh Day.-This was characterized
as a dull session, with some Unimportant VIC
tories for the defense. The cr~oss-examination
of Tilton will soon be closed. His counsel are
said to be much vezed at the vanity of their
client, as he persists ia answering too much,
and telling more than the examination calls for
The proceedings were not very interesting, al
though important as indicating the theory of
the defense concerning Tilton's conduct in the
tripartlte covenant and the composition of the
Bowen letter, which probably will be that he
was trying to keep the scandal open for a
purpose.
