discovery has been mado in regard to tho legal
requirements Of tho certificate authenticattng

Of 1103 reads; "Tho executive authority OF
each State shall cause three lists 0r the Names
Of tho Electors Of such Stats 10 be made and
certified, md to bo delivered to tho Electors on
or before tho said arst Wednesday, Ia December,
nd tho saiJ Elcctora shall auuex Que OF tho said
lists to earh Of tho lists Of their votes" In
tho revised statutea tho language Of
the first clause Ia changed 10 ~
to read s.thc Executive" instead Of "tho ex-
ccutiyc authority" The Executive ia tho Oov-
ernur, unl nobody else, but the executive au-
thority may bu tho SECRETARY OF State or nny
other officer cu'powcred BY the state law 10

CLUB LIFE.--The Jewish Messenger
u New York has a sensible article on
he subject, and one that will be par
;icularly acceptable to ladies. 1t re-
marks:
Club life is not as popular as it was,
especially with the ladies. Marriageable
-:ils and fond parents are beginning to
discover what they would not believe a
few years ago, that the tendency OF these
clubs IS to demoralize society. and to sub
stitute Tor pleasant converse between man
and woman selfish devotion to cards
ana tobacco, injurious to the cultivation
@f the true social instinct, and tending to
aulI the NICE edge Of mans innate refine
Ment' The young scions of our bankers
and tradesmen are more conrenialIv em.
p!!oyed at euchre, sola, or kindred games.
No wonder then that our ladies are he
ginning to despise club life.''

THE ELECTORAL VOTES.

Mr.. Morton was instrume ntal in hav.
ing the Senate repeal the twenty-third
rule. He no doubt did this designedly
The effect of this is now felt in the want
of mode for counting the electoral
votes. The twenty-third joint rule re-
quired the attendance of the Senate in
the House and under it member of
either House could object to vote when
it was read; nor could the vote be count
ed if either House refused its assent
Hence an election or failure to elect
must have ensued under that rule. If a
failure occurred the House Immediately
elected the President and the Senate the
Vice-President, as the constitution di-
reefs. The whole difficulty therefore re-
suits from this fact. The Return Boards
in the Southern States were also fixed up
to meet the case, and every arrangement
made that could be thought of, to defeat
the fairly expressed will of the people,
and to prevent their choosing aPresident
that would expose the corruption and
rascality which has been permitted to go
unpunished for so many years in the De-
partments at Washington, and at other
places throughout the country.
The daily gazette., 1877-01-22

Like Morton the Times and Tribune
object vehemently to the proposed law
for counting the electoral votes precisely
because it is intended to prevent the
President ofthe Senate from usurping a
revolutionary control over the decision of
he Presidential question. OF course they
cannot take up this attitude without stul-
itying themselves as completely and as
shamelessly as Morton has done. The
Tribune, in particular, is in as great a
hurry as Hamlet's mother to escape from
The arms # Hyperion into those of a
Satyr. No longer ago than the 29th Of
December ..the Tribune denounced the
Ferry project and called for joint rule
n these terms:
''Violent and quasi-reyolutionarv
schemes Of settlement lind no favor at the
Capitol with either party. - Mr..
Ferry will not assume the right to count
the,yotes, independently ofthe two houses.
and If a resolution should be introduced
i the Senate instructing him to do so. it
you'd be defeated by Republican votes.
Il ought to be possible under such cir
cHnstdnces for the t,ro committees to
