Heis credited withsayins that there had not
been since the foundation OF the Govern.
ment ten men, drunk or sober, who had
undertaken to- claim for: the president OF the
Senate the sole power over the electoral
vote. The (liscussfen in the House cleo
teral COMMITTEES to- dayiwas most general
and ,d:seussiYe, though Of very interest
ing natsEe. This committee has gathered
togetAera vast amount of valuable infortna.

81 In open Senate to-day there were severn!
speeches on the all-absorblng question OF
the electoral count, ana 2 proposltlon mace
by Senator Booth to remit certain questions
connected With 1T TO the supreme Court 1or
arbitrament. It' looks as II the 1dea OF re-
living in some degree on the Supreme Court
was gaining favor. Senator's Edmunds,
Freinghuysen, and B0Othp. OF the prom
nent Republican senators, are very much
inclined to O. srch d solution of the difficulty,
while Governor, Whyte and others on the
Democratic side of the chamber warmly
second the proposition. II the Democratic
senators would unite on the Supreme Court
proposition there is no doubt that some
measure Of that nature would pass through
the Senate. -
