Powers Of tho President OF the
Senate.

Geo. William Curtis, in Hnrper's Weekly.
The duties Of the President of
the Senate in the ceremony Of
counting the electoral votes are
very clearly defined in the Consti-
tuition, and they can not he en-
larged beyond the constitutional
grant. 1t has been said that he
may decide what certificates to
open and what to reject. BY what
authority would he undertake to
decided Certainly by, none grant
ed by the Constitution. 1t is said
that the Senate might previously
instruct him how to decide. BY
what authority; The only consti-
tutional duty Of the Senate is to be
present with the House, that the
certificates may be opened before
them. Then, il a question between
two certificates arises, the two
houses, as we have said elsewhere,
must Of necessity decide which is
the one duly authorized by the
State. The houses may agree in
what manner they will consider the
question. But the President of
the Senate, as such, has no more
constitutional authority to decide
II than the Speaker of the House.
At the counting Of the votes the
Senate has no constitutional power
which the House does not share.
II is nowhere implied in the Con-
stitution that either house has pow
err to do anything but witness the
opening and counting, and Of ne
cessity, as we said, to determine
upon constitutional principals
which OF two certificates shall be
received valid.
1t is not even provided that the
President Of the Senate shall an
nouncc the result. But that is q
mere form which affects nothing.
The person who shall have received
the greatest number Of votes, II
such number be majority Of the
whole number Of electors appoint
ed, shall be President whether any
announcement to that effect be
made or not made. The President

Senator Jones argues that under
the laws of Florida the Electoral
College has no force or vitality eI-
cept such as it gains through the
expression of the supreme will
It's appointments and operations
are simply void unless this will has
been complied with, and no mere
signature Of Governor can give
legal existance to a body that has
not been formed a, the Constitu-
ton prescribes, 1t is not necessary
70 form a new Electoral College
for the present. The Hayes COL
lege is not a college expressing the
peoples choice, and hence, never
had a legal existence. He denies
that there is such thing as con-
test in his State. The adjustment
of returns will result in constitute
ing the only body of electors who
can claim recognition, and he be-
lieves Congress will have this ques-
ton presented to it at the proper
time with such force that even
the most radical Republican lead
ers in the Senate will not insist
upon technicalities.
Congressman Tarbox, who is
studying the subject, says that the
Supreme Court of Florida has no
right to create a new Electoral
College. He says in addition, how
ever, that the Supreme Court OF
Florida has it within its province
to determine whether or not the
Returning Board did an illegal act
in giving Hayes electors certificates
of election. If they decide that
the Board thus did an illegal act
the action of the electors is q null
| ty, and there being no way now to
make a legal Electoral College for
the State the vote of the State
must be thrown ont of the college
by Congress in joint convention
The sequence to this action Of
Congress would be to reduce the
college from 800 to S65 votes, ant
Tilden and Hendricks having 49,
votes undisputed, one more than
majority, they are elected. Alex
ander II. Stephens also thinks tina
the action Of the Supreme Cour
will throw out the vote Of Florida
He coustrues the decision to meal
that no Electoral College met i
the State on the day appointed b.
law and hence no electoral vot
was legally cast. He does nc
think that Congress can now coun
, the votes Of the Tilden or Haye
electors or form a new election.

Selecting seed Wheat.

correspondent to the Rural World, writing
upon the subject of selecting wheat for sowing,
says:
Although 1t is admitted that there is no de.
cline in the fertility of the SOIL but, on the
trary, great Improvement on the past, it Is
nevertheless acknowledged that there is great
falling off in the production per acre of wheat,
in the principal grain growing sections. The
degeneracy is attributed to the fly, rust, frost,
dry weather and wet, all of which undoubtedly
have their influence, and in certain localities of.
ten do great damage. But correspondent of
the Country Gentleman. from Cleveland, Tenn,
thinks that this deterioration is due chiefly to
the careless selection of seeds, and reports the
following results of experiments in that direc-
ton:
The result of my experiments with at least
thirty-eight different varieties of wheat for
years, proves beyond doubt that good, healthy,
unadulterated seed, selected and saved as farm
ers save their seed corn will not run out OF de-
teriorate in the least but grow better. To IL
lustrate and prove this fact, desire to give the
result of an experiment made this season. Last
june picked seven pounds of the best centre
heads Of my wheat, and drilled it eleven inches
apart in rows at the rate of only forty pounds to
the acre. 1t grew most luxuriantly. and was
entirely too thick for large heads. 1t attained
n height of six and one-half feet, and much of it
fell down. April the 29th it commenced head
ing; was reaped June 18th, and to-day, (June
3d. it was threshed, making, according to the
report of a committee, over sixty-seven bushels
per acre.
