 CHICAGO, October 16.-A Washington despatch to the Tribune says, there has been considerable discussion lately about the possible course of the cleo toral votes on the secon Wednesday of February next in case the presiden- tial election should be turned upon the counting or rejecting of any one State. Democrats have said that if the election should turn on accepting R6uISao ISaojbbI jbIr6Gta r6Gtar4iHa uK0tef uK0tef ,g the h9Ha5e second joint rule, which provides that If either house persist in objectIng to receive the vote of a State, 1t shall not be received, they would prevent it being counted and thus defeat the cleo ton of Hayes by vote Of States. Seve- ral similar cases have been the subject of discussion here. It is fact, how ever, though not generally known, that thus far the forty-fourth Congress has not adopted any joint rules. Each Congress enacts its own rules. The practice has been at the opening of each session, to pass resolutions adopt ing the rules of the previous Congress last session the House adopted rules, but the Senate failed to concur, and consideration of the subject went over under objection. As 8 final result the session closed without adopting the the 22d rule, which leaves the conven- tiOn for counting the electoral vote without rules excepting constitutional provisions for its meeting, and opening of votes by the President of the Senate and counting of the same.
