Whereas in an election Of President or Vice
President of the United States, questions may
arise -
Whether an elector has been appointed il

and the day on which he gave bis vote were
those determined by Congress?

Whether one at least, Of tho persons he has
voted for is in inhabtapt Of State other than

Whether the electors voted by ballot aud
have signed. certified and transmitted to The
President of the Senate a list Of all the persons

Whether the persons voted for are natural
born citizens, or were citizens Of the United
States at the time Of tho adoption of the Con-

And the Constitution OF the United States
having directed that the President Of the Sen.
ate shall, 10 the presence of the Senate and
House Of Representatives, open all The certi6
Gates and that the votes shall then be counted;
from which is most reasonably Inferred that
they are to be counted by the members com.

Be it therefore enacted-Ihere insert the
former clause.
Provides that the certificate of the Execu.

that the requisite number of votes has been
given for each elector named by him as such
There add all other limitations or the preceding

the State conservative ticket rendered vacant
by the death of the late Raleigh 7. Daniel, be
made by the State Conservative Committee,
and that that committee select as the nominee

are both excellent, and We hope they may be

that could resist Believe me that when France
has pronounced her sovereign will there must
either be submission or resignation.

DWELLING HOUSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
During The storm Of Tuesday night the dwell
ling Of Mrs. Frances Terrell, in the upper pari
of Essex county, was struck by lightning. The
appearance OF the house renders 1t probable
that the lightning first struck The top OF the
chimney, from which several bricks were dis
placed, aud then passing off to the roof ran
down the studding through the attic and the
two stories below. The sudding is split, the
weather boarding 10 the second story much 10.
jured, and the plastering thrown down. The
mantes 10 the three rooms we're torn from the
walls, and the ends next the electric current
thrown out about foot. A mantel mirror and
the lamps on the mautels were broken. There
were ten persons 10 the house at the time,
some Of whom were in parts OF the house con
siderabIy removed from the chimney struck,
the house having wing which runs off 10 an
opposite direction. All felt the shock more or
!ess, experiencing tingling sensation in the
fingers. The room struck 90 the second floor
was occupied by Mrs. Julian Broaddus, a
daughter Of Mrs. Terrell, and several of her
children. The beds, of which there were two,
stood with the heads against the wall next the
chimney. The one nearest the open fireplace,
occupied by two sons of Mrs. Broaddus, had
one of the posts shivered by the electric fluid.
One ofthe boys was lying with his head On 8
feather bolster not more than foot or two feet
at furthest from the post, but Was not stunned
GWyn, the boy nearest the post was not injured,
though pair of pants on the same bed was torn
aud partially burnt, and ladies fam Tide.

bill was referred to the committee on puo-
lie lands, and is in charge Of Senator'S Hsr-
vey and Booth, both Of whom will resis. all
dice Of the rights of the settiers.
The charge that the railroad companies
have agents and attorneys here who are
trying to defeat the benefcent purposes of
the original bill, is without foundation, 20
far as am informed. They are much
more interested in having the lands inhab-
tied and productive than in retarding their
settlement or holding them for speculation.
For the purpose of ascertaining precisely
what dangers might exist, and what basis
there was for the rumors of ante-dated con-
tracts with lobbyists and spectators, in
troduced in the Senate on the 10Th Of De-
cember, the following resolution which was
unanimously adopted:
Reolpe6, That the Secretary Of the Interior be
directed to report to the Senate vha. portions or
tracts Of the Otase ceded lands In Kansas TO the
Leaveuworh, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad
Company. or the Missouri, Kansas snd Texas Rail
road Company claim 10 have sold prior TO the s5th
day Of February, 1874: and that If such informa-
ton be not in his ONCE he be directed to ca upon
said railroad companies for the same specifying
the description Of the lands sold, the date Of con-
tract Of sale, the name Of the purchaser, tn con-
and the sums that remain due thereon.
When this information il obtained the
whole extent Of the danger will be disclos-
ed, and Until then, no bill Of any descrip-
ton will pass the Senate. When the rail-
roads communicate the facts in regard 10
their sales, the senate will be able to act
intelligenily on the subject, and it is not
TOO much 70 assume that Congress will not
sanction any illegal or fraudulent contracts
or deprive any citizen Of his rights.
Meanwhile can assure the settlers that
all their Interests shall be vigihntly pro-
tected. Their representatives in Congress,
will not slumber nor sleep During three
years OF sire GUS conflict have omitted no
effort to secure the rights of:ihe people, and
il the future, as in the past, | shall not
hesitate to do their will. Fidelity to their
welfare justifes m. in asking the continu-
ance OF their confidence, and should any
emergency arise presenting obstacles too
formidable for me TO encounter, l will
promptly inform the settlers Of the dangers
which menace them and Of any inability
to guard the trust that has been in part
conhded TO my keeping.
Respectfully,

The instructions Of the Commissioner Of

tIoduc.d by Senator Ugieshy in relation to
those portions of the Usage CSded Lands
sold by the railroad companies prior to

limitation Of the bill which enabled him
to purchase only one hundred and sixty
acrer, and claimed that it would be just
10 deprive himiof The opportunity OF re-pur-
chasing all the land which he had bought
in good faith, and of which he had been in
exclusive possession. Senator Booth
thought McDonald's claim was Just and
moved to strike out the words mot exceed
ing one hundred and sixty acres" in a cer-
tain line of the bill, which was done. He
did not observe, however, that the same
words of Limitation occurred in another
line where they were equally operative and
rendered his amendment Intellectual
Congress soon adjourned, and when Nc
Donald applied to enter his land q careful
scrutiny of the bill revealed the fact that
Booths amendment amounted to nothing,
