have right to count the vates, there is
still question lying behind that, and
Independent of il. and that is, as to what
papers the President of the Senate is re-
quired to open in presence of the two
Houses and hand to the tellers. The
electors IN several States are designated
by its seal upon their votes and lists
made up by the Government. and en-
close them to the President OF the Senate
endorsing names of the electors upon the
outside OF the envelope. He is thus noti-
fed who the electors or pretended cleo
tors arc who have voted, whose votes are
contained in the envelope. 1t is q certi-
ficate from the electors and none other
that he is required to open in the pres
ence OF the two houses He is not in
fact required to receive of any body but
the true electors of the State. de is
therefore required. in the discharge of
the duty of his Office, to determine and
present the true Z ertificates from the
electors OF State. He IS bound as an
cHicer OF the government of the United
States to take notice of those who have
been declared elected by the proper Au-
thorities of a State. and when a certIfi-
cate comes into his hands il is his busi-
ness at once to investigate and determine
tor himself whether it comes from an
elsctor or State. He must decide that
question upon lis peril and present the
certifcatet to the two houses OF Congress.
Rutherford b. Hayes ought to be in
augurated. and must be inauguratcd. ur-
less bill should be passed to count him
out in defiance OF well knowH principles
OF law. He was not well enough to-day
to argue this question as fully as he
would like to. The Democratic Senators
would not support this bill if it did not
give them chance to count IN Mr.. Til
den by going behind the returns. At
2:1O Mr.. Morton said he was not able to
proceed further to-day, and therefore
suspended his remarks.

WAS WASHINGTON AFREN CHI MAR
SHALp

An interesting paper was recentlv read
before the Rhode Island Historical socie-
ty, in which the author, Rev f. M.
Stone, referred to the legend of Washing
sons marshalsbip The Providence Pres
furnishes the following relative to the
views held by Mr.. Stone: washington
visited Gen. Roehambeau at Newport to
arrange for the campaign against York
town in Virginia. In what capacity did
Washington make this visit to the French
commanders was 1t as marshal of
France. or that he exercised the power
and authority of marshal of France, Mr..
Stone thinks is evident from the fact that
ROchambeau subordinated himself to
Washington. According to the laws of
France at that time no marshal of France
could be under the authority of any Off
Ger lower than a marshal of France. and
this question was agitated at the time ar
rangements were made for sending oyer
French troops. The difficulty, it was
suggested, might be removed by making
Washington marshal OF France. and on
that hint action took place. he evidence
is strong that il was rs exercising the au
thority and power of marshal of France
that Rochambeau and his army were su-
bordinated to Washington during the time
OF his service here. 1t is stated that w hen
Washington appeared riding by the side
of Rochambeau, between the ranks of the
army, he wore the insignia OF marshal of
France. 1t is not stated that he was seen
to wear that emblem OF authority at anv
other time or place He was not, how
ever, marshal of France in 1875. for he
denied having any such title when Lafay-
cite dedicated TO him, as marshal of
France volume OF poems. No formal
commission may have been issued. but
beyond doubt he exercised the functions
OF marshal OF France. In Boston n guns.
q marshafs salute. were fred by the
French troops, and at other times similar
evidence was given that his rank was
known and recognized. '" ss'

January lst has been fIr $500 years
popularity accepted as the birthday of the
New Year. 1t owes this honor toa decree
of the Roman emperor, Numa Pompilius,
some 700 years before the Christian era,
whereby two months were added to the
Roman calendar and Januarius given the
leading place. The new month was named
after Janus, the deity supposed to preside
over doors. Although the popular notion
of january as New Years day was thu:
long ago introduced, the Jews have con-
tinued to begin their year on March %
and this date has been, until within Il cen
fury or so, recognized ms the legal begin.
ming of the year. AS late rs 1852 this was
the fact in England, and up TO that time il
was customary to set down dates between
January and March "A, inclusive thus
january 80, 164S-9, meaning that popular.
