THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
senator Fdmunds' Bill for Regulating
the Count of the Vote.
IN Y Herald


WASHISGTON, Dec, 5-Senator Edmund3
gave notice to-day that next Monday he will
ask the Senate to attend to one Of the most
important pieces OF unfinished business be-
fore the cOuntry-namely the question Of
providing a way for the election Of President,
which shall avoid the dangers and excite
ments consequent on the election Of 1876 II
Mr.. Edmund3 undertakes in earnest to bring
this question up for discussion there Is reason
to hope that bill will at least get
through the Senate Mr.. Elmunds
bill, which was reported last May
from the select committee to whom
the subject was referred, provides that the
presidential election shall be held on the first
Tuesday In October, and that the electors
shall meet in the different States on the sec
ond Monday in January following This
gives more than three months to decide ques-
tions Of disputed elections In the States, and
the bill provides that each State shall regulate
for itself the manner in which such disputes
shall be determined and that the determina-
ton made according to such regulations in
each State shall be final and conclusive Con-
greSS Is TO meet on the second Monday Of Feb
ruary to open the electoral votes and count
them, and the bill provides that where there
is but one return from State it shall not be
rejected without the concurrent vote Of both
houses, while where there are two or more re-
turns only that one shall be counted which is
received by the concurrent vote Of both
Houses. That is to say, both Houses concur

The Election BnI In the senate-A Test
Vote on silver in the House.
THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON. Dec AT the expiration of
the morning hour the Senate, on motion Of
Mr. Edmunds, took up the bill to amend sun
dry provisions Of the statutes relating to
presidential elections. and to provide for and
regulate the counting of votes and Mr.. Ed
munds proceeded to address the Senate in
favor of the same.
MIR. Edmunds explained the nature of the
bill at some length. The proposed change of
the day Of election from November t. October
was designed to afford more time for ascer-
taining the result, and the design Of the en-
tire bill would enable the States to explicitly
signify the candidate whom they intend to
choose, and place it out OF the power of any
marty or power whose duty it is to count
votes to falsify or destroy the votes OF any
State.
Mr.. Edmunds proceeded to define the
powers Of Congress under the constitution IN
reference to the choice and ascertainment OF
fhe choice of President and Vice President OF
the United States. On these points he evinced
.. jealousy of State rights which would have
oratified the most ardent advocate OF that
doctrine. These officers were not only elected
by the voice OF the States, as directed by their

THE CORBIN.BUrLER CONTEST.
senator Angus Cameron VIII Report In
Favor Of seating COrbIn.
IChIcngO Times.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. At the last session oi
| Congress an elaborate report was prepared
| by Angus Cameron, Of the Committee on
| Privileges and Elections of the Senate. in the
| COrbin-B Butler contest case The report was
submitted to the committee, and the chair
| man was instructed to have il printed for the
| use Of members, but no formal action was
then taken by the committee. The report is
| based 10 n great extent upon testimony taken
| by the South Carolina committees Of the Sen
ate in December, 1876, Of which Senator Cam
| eron was member Tho conclusions
arrived ut In the report are favorable
| to the admission Of Corbln. The re-
port sets forth that both Corbin and
| Butler came on with credentials, which were
duly presented, the former having been
elected by the Chamberlain Legislature and
the latter by the Hampton Legislature. But
ler was admitted on prtmn fncie case that
Is. simply on his credentials. 1t Is held in
the report that having been admitted on n
prtna fncic case merely the Senate has a right
to investigate the question and determine
whether nc was really entitled to q seat or
not, and if not entitled to his seat, whether
or not COrbin is entitled to it, The
conclusion is arrived ut in the report that
the Chamberlain Legislature was n legal
Legislature, and that COrbin was regularly
and legally elected Senator, and, OF course, is
entitled to his seat, and that the Hampton
Legislature was not a legal legislature, and
not being a legal legislature could not elect
q Senator.
The testimony upon which the report IL
based shows, as Is claimed in the report, q
great deal OF intimidation and fraud all over
the State, but these were more general in
the two counties Of Edgefield and Laurens
All the Republican members Of the commit
tee, except Hoar, who was not present when
the report was presented, agree to 1t, while,
Of course, the Democratic members dissent,
and will make minority report This has
not yet been prepared. The report Of the ma
iority, when it is presented, will be given to
Mr.. Hill and other Democratic members Of
the committee and they will be given time to
prepare their reports before formal action Is |
taken. This, it is thought, will be taken in
side OF two weeks.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a resolution which
has been prepared will probably y be introduced
IN the House on Monday, looking to the i'm
parchment of Judge Humphreys, Of the Su-
preme Court Of the District, on severa
grounds, the principal one OF which Is intoxi-
cation. The Repmtiicma to-day notices the
latest spectacle made Of himself by this
drunken Judge in its report Of a case yester-
day when it says: Justice Humphreys was
IN u condition which indicated that he hnd not
been faithful to the pledge which, it is stated,
he once publicly ratified by smashing his
black bottle. He gave evidences Of intoxica-
tion which amused many and distressed
others. 1t was with difficulty that his honor
preserved his equilibrium in walking to the
consultation room, and he required the as
Sisthnce hf messenger to remove his over
coat The fumes Of liquor were heavy upon
his breath, and his utterance was seriously
affected. What he had to say was ierked out
in rnaudlin, disjointed sentences that were
almost unintcligible" The Judges friends
have endeayored to get him to resign, but he
says he was appointed by Grant and intends
to stay on the bench until GRANT is again
