In the case of Miss Elizabeth S. Cook, who was

that their side is getting the best Of the Oregon
controversy is somewhat suggestive, and the pre-
tense that Mr.. Munyon's testimony of yesterday
in regard TO the s. 900 check relieves Mr.. Tilden
OF the suspicion of having paid it, is exceedingly
impudent. The check was sent by Mr. Runyons

Cashier of the Third National Bank, and. Curl
ously enough, il was drawn without either funds

Constitutional Counting.

The practice and precedents PRIOR te

place on the occasion of counting the
votes of the Electors who gave Jefferson

tatives resolved, THAT this House will
attend in the chamber of the Senate this
day. at IL o'clock. noon, for tie purpose o.
being present at the opening and counting
OF the votes for President and Vice Presi-

rected its Secretary to notify the House
THAT the Senate are now ready to meet
them in the Senate Chamber for the pur
pose OF being present at the opening and
counting OF the votes for President and
Vice President" The President of the
Senate officially certifies that he did. in
the presence aforesaid, "open all the cert
ifcates and count all The coteS of the Elec-
tors" to which declaration he deliberately
set his hand aud seal.
On the first election of Madison, a mes

the fact that they are class OF men who have no
