The two houses met on Thursday last
to count the electoral vote and got as
far as Florida, when the two sets of re-
turns from that State were turned over
to the: commission. That august and
unconstitutional body is new listening
to the debate of the lawyers, Evarts
maintaining that the commission has
no right to 60 behind the certificates,
and O'Conor maintaining exactly the
opposite view. Whether the question
will be settled by the 4th Of March or
not, we suppose depends upon whether
or not the commission goes behind the
returns.
SEED GRAIN
We are almost daily asked whether
there is any prospect that the State will
do any thing toward furnishing seed
grain for the devastated districts. The
matter is being urged upon the Legis-
lature and we learn that there is u fair
prospect of the passage of bill appro-
priating money for that purpose. Mr..
Crooks, we notice, has introduced a bill
'appropriating $4,000 to purchase seed
grain for distributation among the
sufferers by grassl'oppers. Providing
for the payment of the money to the
county boards of the needy counties,
and making a lien Oh the crops of those
assiSted,''
