President, and five votes for A. h.
Colquitt, also of that State, for Vice
President. The constitution says
that the President. and Vice Presi-
dent must be citizens of different
States. There was also a similar
mistake made by the Missouri cleo
tors. Then Nr. Trumbull objected
to the vote of Texas for certain ir-
Irregularities, chiefly clerical; and
with this budget of troubles the Sen
ate again retired. On reassembing
, both houses had agreed to count
Texas, and six or seven States were
gone through with when Louisiana
appeared with two returns. Again
the Senate walked out, and a long
war of words followed in both houses.
Finally the joint session was resumed
and the count completed at about
eight o'clock in the evening. The
Vice President then stated that there
were 366 electoral votes, of which
$40 had been counted for President
and 1852 for Vice President; that for
President, Ulysses S. Grant, of Illi-
nois, had received 2S6; B. Gratz
Brown, of Missouri, IS; Thomas A.
Hendricks, of Indiana, AZ, Charles
J. jenkins, of Georgia, 2, and David
Davis, of Illinois, l vote. That for
Vice President, Henry Wilson, of
Massachusetts, had 2S6, &C., and he
declared U. S. Grant and Henry
Wilson duly elected. (The II votes
rejected were 3 of Georgia, 6 of
Arkansas and s of Louisiana.)
CONCLUSION.
It does not appear that the houses
IN joint session can pass upon any
thing beyond the result as shown by
the count. Their duties are merely
clerical !; they have no power to de-
eide upon what to receive or what to
reject. The cases where such power
has been exercised (not in joint ses-
sion, bat in each house for itself are
all since the rebellion. In 1865 there
were no votes offered from the States
not counted ; in 1869 Georgia was
practically counted, and only in
1873, at the very last election, was
there q positive throwing out of a
State, and on that occasion the omis-
sion of their votes made no differ
ence, for General Grant was almost
unanimously reelected. What might
be done if the vote of Il single State
should he enough to change from one
candidate to another is question
yet to be reached.

PUTTING ON OFFICIAL DIGNITY.
Heretofore there had been no espe-
cial formalities observed in the meet
ing of the two houses, except that
the House members went to the Sen
ate or the Senators to the House, all
at once. But when the time for
meeting, in February, 1S41, arrived,
the Senate formed with their Ser
geant-at-arms at the head, then the
Vice President, with the Secretary
of the Senate on his left, then the
Chief Clerk bearing the electoral
votes, and then the Senators, two
by two. The procession was met in
the rotunda by the House Sergeant
alarms, who led it down the broad
aisle. The Speaker received the
Vice President on the steps OF his
stand and conducted him to the chair
as president of the joint session, the
Speaker seating himself on the left.
The Secretary of the Senate took a
seat at one end of the Clerks table
and the Clerk of the House at the
other. The tellers were stationed in
front of the presiding officer, the
Senate teller in the middle. and the
House tellers on each side. The

nounce the decision of the question
submitted; and upon such question
there shall be no debate in either
house; and any other question tc
this object, for which the two houses
are assembled, may be permitted and
determined in like manner.
The two houses met on the 18th
of February to count the vote.
When Georgia was reached Mr..
Hoar objected to the three votes TO,
Horace Greeley, because they were
given after his decease, and the cleo
tors could not lawfully vote for q
dead man. The point was waived
for the time, and the count went or
till Mississippi was read. Mr.. Trum
bull objected to the vote because the
statement did not say it was done by
ballot. Both objections were put in
writing, and the Senate retired. Ii
that body it was voted-forty-fou,
yeas and nineteen nays-to count
the vote for Greeley. During the
debate Mr.. Conkling and others un.
dertook to get through declaration
that the functions of the joint SEES
sion were purely ministerial, and
that the recording of the votes o.
the States was done independent O
and without regard to the effect o.
such votes; but the motion failed
yeas Is, nays 80. In the meantime
the House voted not to count votes
for Greeley, but both houses decided
to count Mississippi. They me-
again at half-past three P. NJ, and
as the houses disagreed on the Gree
ley votes, they were not counted
Still another trouble was found III
Georgia. There were two votes fo1
