About the Electoral Vote

The regular Was hington correspon
dent of the New York tribune writes
long letter to that journal, in which
he Celebrates the following points:
Mr.. Ferry will not assume the right
to count the votes independently Of
the two houses. and if a resolution
should be introduced in the Senate
lnstructing him to do so it would be
defeated by Republican votes. Mr.
Ferry will not assume the RICH, to de-
eide as to the validity of returns
which come to him in the usual form
Neither house, acting separately
will undertake to exclude the returns
from any State. Both will agree to
60 behind the official certificates to
consider charges of fraud and lrregu-
larity, but no State will be thrown out
of the count without the concurrent
action of both branches Of Congress.
Finally the House of Representa-
lives Will not claim the right to de>
eide by itself that there has been no
ele .tion. and proceed to the choice
of President"
