Whereas, there are differences OF opinion as
to the proper mode of canvassing the electoral
votes for President and Vice President, and as
TO tho manner of determining questions that
may arise as to the legality and validity of the
returns made of such votes by the several states,
and whereas it is of utmost importance that all
difference of opinion and all doubts and I'M

and result declared by tribunal whose au-

committee
The speaker appointed Mr.. Beebe of New

of the governments to any military or civil Off
Ger with regard to the services Of the army in
