ANOTHER MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS-
The constitution, IN express terms, empowers Con.
gross all laws to carry 'ts provisions
into effect One or Its provisions is that in the pros
oil the Senate and tho House OF Representatives,
the Pres dent OF the Senate shall opcn all certificates
containing electoral votes and the votes shall thcn DO
countcd In case two sets OF electoral votes bo ro-
ccved from tho State 1t Is obviously necessary,
before the votes from that State be counted, TO de-
termnc which are the true votes OF the State.
IL Is c0ntcndcd by the extreme men Of ono party
that tho President OF the Senate Is to determine this
question. Tho extreme men Of tho other party say
tho House OF Representatives, must determine II I;
while many Others OF both parties, contend that tho
Senate ana House together authorized to decide II;
and each founds his opntOn not OH tho ground OF
any express terms In tho constitution giving tho
powar many words, but contends that tho power
given by necessary IMPLICATION. Is tho TACT that
necessary implication Is invoked alike by tho three
sets OF partsans In support oil their respective theo
res pretty good prcsumptive evidence that thero 10
necessary implication In favor of either theory?
Now, thirteen out OF tho fourteen members OF the
special committees OF tho Senate House OF Rep
rescntavcs seem TO have arrived ut the conclusion,
after long ana careful study OF the question, that II Is
OF those subjects requiring pirate Legislation
by Congress- in order to carry into effect the provisions
the constitution relation the election Of Pres
ident and Vice President; and that Congress Gun
consttuonay establish tribunal to determine this
question.
In the interests OF business In the interests OF
peace, and for the sake OF maintaining intact
excellent form OF government we urgo and most
earnestly hope that Congress will promptly pass tho
bill reported by the committees and that all parties
will chccriuIly acquesce In the final dctcrrn inst,on
OF this vcxed Presidential question In tho modo pro.
posed.

The ViryiRian in describing a CELESTIAL he-
nomenon or meteor as seen by daylight by
many people over the State of Virginia be-
tween 4 and o'clock, on Tuesday last, sas:
"The body appeared like great dazzhg
crystal, in the southwest sky, falling from Ia
elevation of abont ninety degrees. 1t T.
scended comparatively slow, and left in Is
course deep, transparent track, whose brigHr
ness lasted fully fifteen minutes, and, viii
the changes of the atmosphere, passed from |
straight line to perfectly picturesque zigzagl
1t was truly wonderful appearance, aud had
it occurred two hours later would have been
startling display. II could not have fallen d
great distance from Portsmouth"
The Dispatch says, at started high up to.
ward the zenith, and tell apparently almost
perpendicularly, being lost al last IN a bank
of cloud upon the horizon. 1t appeared ia
the west, and only few degrees south 4 the
due-west point, and, although so near lhs set
ting sun, its head and track were intensely
brilliant. The track remained visible fery
nearly forty minutes, as tested by the watch
AT first clear, straight and well defined !;
then gently bending into many bea tiful
curves, and at last slowly floating and falling
away like delicate cloud"
