SENATE.
WASHINGTON, January 90

WASHINGTON, January 90.
After stating that several states had been either
wholly or in part unrepresented in the Senate by
members being absent from the city on invcstga-
tions, and that he thought testimony could be
taken as well by commission, Mr.. Merrman in
troduced bill providing for taking testimony and
collecting information to be used by congress.
He also submitted resolution declaring that it
is not within the lawful authority Of the senate to
charge committees of the senate with duties to be
performed away from the capital wbile the senate
is in session.
A telegram was read from the Chicago board of
trade endorsing the compromise bill.
At LIS the senate resumed consideration of the
bill in regard to counting the electoral vote.
Mr. Morton took the floor. He said the bill
was the product of the Mississippi plan The
shadow OF intimidation had entered the senate
chamber.
He believed Rutherford B. Hayes had been
elected president of the United States. under the
forms OF law and according to law, and should
be counted in.

had supposed that all agreed that in the ab.
sence Of legislation the president of the senate
must count the votes. The president of the sen.
ate did count the vote for seventy-two years
The teers were mere facilities for maxi ng the
calculations and keeping the accounts. They
counted what the president of the senate handed
them to count, and the handing them down the
certificates to count was tine declaration of the
vote il contained.
From 1889 to 1861 the resolutions appointing
tellers provided they were TO make list of the
votes as they we're declared. The counting OF
the votes was y ceremony to which tie two
houses were witnesses.
The constitution provides that the president OF
the senate shall in the presence of the house.
open all the certificates and the vote shall then be
counted, and if no one candidate has q majority
Of all the electors appointed, the house shall i'm
medstely proceed to elect.
The process thus contemplated was very sim
pie one simply to open certificates and count the
votes, but contemplated no time or place to Try
questions Of eligibility of either Of the candidate,
or electors. Whether the electors were eligible
was matter left with the states under the juris
dictiOn of the constitution. The handing down

Germany vs.. France.

NEW YORK, January %. The Herad's London
despatch says: The principal subject Of interest
here is the growing bad feeling between Germany
and France.
1t is evident Germany wishes either to provoke
a quarrel with France, or to test how far she can
20 without meeting with resistance; but whatever
the motive, the unsatisfactory tone of the rela-
tions between the two countries is a source of no
little anxiety here just now.
A correspondent of the Herald in Vienna, tele.
graphs that semi-ofiica letters are received from
Berlin, which state that the German government
possesses small proofs of the existence of large
monastc conspiracy in FIance, to endeavor TO
gain power in that country for purposes hostile to
Germany. This causes a feeling Of great irrits-
ton in Berlin, just now.
