THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

Senator Morton's Proposed Method of Count
President.
Senator Morton has reported bill to the
United States Senate providing for the counting
of votes in the Electoral College by both houses
of Congress. The object of the bill is to pre-
pare for anticipated double returns in the next
Presidential election. 1t provides that both
houses of Congress shall meet together at one
o'clock on the last Wednesday in January
next succeeding the meeting of the
Electoral Colleges, 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 receive from the presiding officer
the certificates, as they are opened, and, after
reading them aloud, shall make list of the
votes, as they appear from the certificates. The
result of their count, and the names of the
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 chamber, and each house shall decide upon
the question raised. No electoral vote or votes
from any State, to the counting of which OBJ
jections have been made, shall be rejected eX-
SCpO ny VIC dllllAiullf6 NOIG VI tlc CWO uOlScS
When the two houses have voted, they shall
Immediately reassemble, and the presiding Off
Ger shall then announce the decision of the
question submitted. And any other question
pertinent to the object for which the two houses
are assembled may be submitted and determined
in like manner
The second section of the bill provides that
eff more than one return shall be received by
the President of the Senate from any State pur-
porting to be certificate of electoral votes
given at the preceding election for Presi-
dent and Vice-President in such State,
all such returns may be opened by him, in
presence of the two houses when assembled to
count the votes, and that return shall be count
ed which the two houses, acting separately,
shall decide to be the true and valid return"
The remaining sections of the bill limit each
Senator and Representative to ten minutes in
speaking on any one question; provided that,
after such debate has lasted two hours, the
majority of each house may direct the main
question to be put, without debate, and provided
that the joint meeting of the two houses shall
not be dissolved until the electoral votes are all
counted and the result announced but it shall
be competent for either house, acting separate
ly, in the manner hereinbefore provided, to
take recess not beyond 10 o'clock the next
morning,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The following is a
summary of the present condition and pros
poets of the public business Congress closes
it's session three weeks from tomorrow A COM
parison of the number of the bills introduced
some G, 000-with the number passed at the first
session. and which will probably pass at this
session. will be found to be the most remark
able for any Congress in the history of the gov
eminent. Since the reassembling, Jan. 5, but
three important acts-the Civil Rights bill, the
Fnace bill, and the Little Tariff act have passed
either house. This delay has not been the fault
of the regular or the special committees. Of the
appropriation bills two have finally passed,
one is III conference, and nine re-
main to be acted upon. These must be
acted upon or an extra session will be necessary A
large number of bills must fail AS to the Civil
Rights measure, each house has passed sepa-
rate bill. The variance between them may pos
sibly lead to the defeat of BOTH
The Louisiana question is In great doubt.
The special House committee will return this
week, but want of time may negative conclu-
sions. The proposed reconstruction of Arkan-
sas is already settled by the adverse report made
urday, Notwithstanding the Presidents mes
sage.
The transportation question will certainly fail
except in the way of appropriations to con-
tinue surveys. The Hennepin Canal scheme
which is regarded most favorably, lacked strength
in the House on Saturday. The Texas Pacific
and Northern Pacific bills the Choctaw claim,
the cotton-tax refund, the patent sewing ma
chine extension, reported on adversely; the
Bayfield, and ST. Croix project, and all of the
additional bounty bills, will all fall through
Col. Tom SCOTS friends claim that they will be
able to put the Texas Pacific bill on an appro-
priation bill as an amendment. Two new States
are applying for admission-New Mexico and
Colorado-and probably the latter will succeed.
Both of these bills have passed the House, and
now lie on the Senate calendar. A new Reve-
nue. bill, now in the course of preparation by
the Ways and Means Committee, is one of the
few bills that will not fail. The government
calls for nearly $40, 000,00 of additional reve-
nue., and Congress will provide for it. This
will defeat all the meaures pending for the re-
peal of the stamp tax on checks matches, etc.
The private calendar in the Senate has re-
ceived quite a liberal treatment but in the
House very few private bills have passed, and
hundreds must fail.

Inc course of the grain markets since our last
review has been steadily downward, and general
Ieouctlon has taken place III current prices. At
the same time an active business was transacted

quite freely. The principal cause of the pre-
Valhng weakness was the heavy deliveries
on Monday and the succeeding two days

nhorts had made liberal provisions for
t t trades on o declining market, and when
1ner contracts matured they were ready to
make Chelr deliveries. AS had been anticipated
Vne parties having grain coming to them on
contracts did not want to receive paw for and
carry the property, and their only alternative
was 10 force the grain on the market and sell
ouC or transfer the trades to March Of
course the heavy offerings weakened the
market and were the principal cause of the
uechne' The usual governing influences were
also Oh an unfavorable tenor, and calculated to
assist Id producing o weak feeling The New
York and Liverpool advices were Indicative of
un1aYorable markets and lower prices conse-
quently there was no encouragement for ship
pers to do anything in the way of
buying. The receipts were lighter. ow

Inns TACT had no influence, however as the

OF course, no probability of any reduction until
a1ter the opening Of navigation. Spring wheat,
decnned about 215c, corn 11I(01$Sc, oats &c
and barley about 6@8c Toward the close of the
week an improved feeling was shown all
round and slight reaction was shown in
prices. Spectators had generally settled their
February trades, and were ready for new deal.
Regarding the future of the leading markets
spectators differ widely in their opinions and
both parties are backing their expressed state
mentS by liberal trading. 1t is generally con-
ceded tlIat wheat will not go much lower; that
corn is too high and that oats will rule firm.
These are only spectators views, however, and
are not based on any positive statement of facts
and figures although it is difficult to see how
any OF the grains named can sell higher unless
the markets at the East improve materially

at the opening and at the close of the week:

PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE.

President Grant Urges Congress to Take
Action in Regard to Arkansas Affairs.
The following is the Presidents message on
Arkansas affairs
To the Senate of the United States:
Herewith I have the honor to send in accord
ance with the resolution of the Senate of the Sd
inst all the information in my possession not
heretofore furnished relating to affairs in the
State of Arkansas. | will venture to express
the opinion that all this testimony shows that in
the election of 1872, Joseph Brooks was law
fully elected Governor of that State that he
has been unlawfully deprived of the posses
sion of his Office since that time that in
1874 the Constitution of the State was, by
violence intimidation and revolutionary pro-
ceedings, overthrown, and q new Con-
stitution adopted, and new State government
established. These proceedings, if permitted
to stand, practically ignore all the rights of mi
norities in all other States also. What is there
to prevent each of the States recently readmit-
ted to Federal relations On certain conditions
from changing their Constitutions and violating
their pledges if this action in Arkansas is ac-
guessed in? respectfully submit whether a

for six years from March 4, 1875, were read and

legislation under which the authorities of the
District OF Columbia empowered to prevent
and suppress notorious gambling establishments

to report bill to confer such power. Agreed to-
Allison introduced bill to authorize the construc-
ton OF pontoon bridge the Mississippi river

House bill to authorize the Seneca nation of New
York Indians to lease their lands within the Cattara-
gus and Allegheny reservations, and to confirm the
existing lease.
Ho~se-The question of suspending and amend
ing the rules again the subject of discussion
Garfield offered resolution preventing the Speaker
entertaining motions of dilatory character, when
Randall and Cox raised the point of order that the
Committee on Rules had had nomeeting since it was
ordered to report which overruled. The gentle
men then resigned any further connection with the
Committee on Rules but this was declared not in
order at the present time. During the day. however
the designations insisted upon and accepted
1.-The Committee on Rules presented new rule
providing that whenever question is pending be-
fore the House, the Speaker shall entertain but
one motion to adjourn, and one motion to fix day
to which the House shall adjourn; but the
previous question on the engrossment and
the tnlrd reading or any bill or joint
resolution shall not be ordered during the first day
OF its consideration, unless two-thirds of the
bers present shall second the demand; provided
that the rule shall not apply to House resolutions
offered in the morning hours of Monday, the pas
sage of which was advocated by the Speaker, who
came down on the floor. The rule was adopted

decided by the legislative branch Of the govern
ment. u. S. GRANT.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Feb g. 1875.
Washington dispatches state that there is no
probability of Congress interfering with the
Garland government-that Senators, as gem
eral thing, are averse to such action-and that
apart from whatever the Senate may do the
House will support the report of their commit
tee, recently submitted, and take no action in
the premises.
