There was q Joint resolution passed Feb-
ruary 8, 1865, about the same time, which
was signed By the President, which eX-
cluded the electoral votes OF AL the rebel
lious States from the count, both on the
ground of the rebellion and for the reason
that they held no vote for presidential cleo
tors in the November preceding.-Ne'o
York Tribune. ..-..
1t is u bad cause that requires falsehood
to support it. In February, 1865, the States
of Tennessee and Louisiana had both been
re0rganized, and had loyal Goycrnors-AS-
DREW JOHNSON in Tennessee, and HAHN in
Louisiana. Both States elected electors OF
President and Vicc-President. by the
whole country ANDREW JOHNSON, q citizen
OF Tennessee, was chosen Vice-President Of
the United States. Yet those States were
not allowed to vote for him. Even his own
State was not permitted to do so.
But it matters not what the reason was
for their exclusion. They were excluded
by Congress by joint resolution passed by
both houses and signed by Mr.. LINCOLN,
who said in his message on the subject that
the two houses OF Congress had such com
plete power to refuse to count the vote OF
any State that it was not necessary for him
to sign the joint resolution. The question
is not as to the reason for,exclusion, but as
to the power to exclude.

truth OF this NATTER

ANOTHER PIECE or RADICAL RAsCAaITY.
JBv telegraph to the Tribune. i HdShiny-
ton, November 30.-In the speculations cur
rent as to the action Of Congress when the
votes for President arc opened and count
cd, it has generally been taken for granted
that the two houses will meet in the hall Of
the House Of Representatives. This has
been the custom for many years solely on
account OF the comparatively small size of
the Senate chamber. The custom will in
all probability be departed from on this oc-
casion. The president OF the Senate, whose
duty it is to occupy the chair and open the
certificates, will no doubt call the meeting
in the Senate chamber.
Should the convention be held in the
House very severe embarrassment might
arise. The House will be certain, unless
the Democratic policy is changed, to insist
upon the existence OF the I'D Joint rule,
which requires the two bodies to separate
whenever State is objected TO. AS soon
rs such an objection is made the Speaker OF
the House will invite the Senate to with
draw. The Senate, holding the rule to be
abrogated, will refuse, and will thus be
placed in the unpleasant predicament OF
persisting in remaining after being shown
the door. For the House tie only alterna-
tive would be to eject the Senate by force
or to leave itself and take standing-room in
the rotunda of the hall. Ii the meeting be
held in the Senate chamber, the House can
90 off if it chooses, or rather the Demo-
cratic majority only can and the count can
proceed without further disturbance. The
Senate would be upon its own ground, and
there would bc no danger Of an alterca-
ton. ..
We called attention some weeks ago to
the fact that the Senate would have to 60 to
the hall of the House. That has always
been the custom. Of course the House will
not allow it to be departed from now. As
we said two weeks ago, the House will ore
main master Of the situation" in case the
Senate withdraws, and will outyote it If ii
does not withdraw. There will be II the
Joint conference about 215 Democrats and
only about 154 Republicans.

DEFIANT INDIANS AT STAINING,
ROCK.
Stormy Conference with the Nev
AGeDt

NEW YORK, Sept. IA Bismarck I'd. IT,
dispatch says: when Captain Johnson took
charge Of the Standing Rock agency, after
the suspension OF the agent by General Car
lin, he had a council with the chiefs and
leading men, In all numbering about one
hundred. The council was a stormy one,
and much loud and impatient talk was in
dulsed In on the part OF the Indians, and
eacn strong expression made against the
whites or In
DEFIANCE OF THE TROOPS
was received with loud grunts OF approval
ard "How, how" the Indian expression OF
unqualifed endorsement. This was psrtIc-
nlsrIy me case with Grass Chief, OF the
Blackfeet, who has ever been considered
friendly TO the whites.
WHAT CAPT. JOHNSON SAID.
Capt johnson In short address informed
the lhdlans that the great father had ap-
pointed him their agent TO look after them
and take care Of them. He hoped they wolld
get along well together and have no trouble.
de would see that they received all that the
great father sent them, but that he should
issue rations or goods only 10 those Indians
actually at the agency To receive them, and
mat, In order 10 do so correctly, he should In
a few days send some one into their camps
TO count them. They would be required TO
give up all Indians that came In from the
hostiles, who must give up their arms aud
become prisoners He desired that all those
Indians on the west side of the river should
move up near the post, where they could be
properly looked after.
THE INDIANS WANT TO DO AS THEY
PLEASE.
Grass insinuated that the agent had been
IN the haoit OF letting them 60 about as tney
pleased. But now they were obliged TO give
up and be treated as slaves, and intimsted
pretty plainly that they should continue
doing as they had in the past-that is, as
they pleased.
Whether they viii continue TO assume this
attitude the future will decide.
THERE Is SUFFICIENT FORCE
10 Quell any outbreak the indians may
MAKE, with the pros pect OF three additios al
companies The only trouble would Arise
from lack OF mounted force. Three COM
panies OF the Tito Infantry are now en- route
10 the agency, making the garrison moe
companies. One great cause OF trouble al
Standing Rock is the fact that the Indians
nave been snort or supplies every winter
and appropriations were SO delayed this
summer that they became absolutely destI-
tute, and an Indian, to be good, must have q
full stomach.
