A Mattoon (Ill) correspondent of the
Chicago Journal writes: 1.-The grave oi
Thomas Lincoln, father of the martyred
President, lies about nine miles southeast
of this place. in country church-yard,
and is unmarked save by small heap oi

paid his fathers grave a visit, and, it is
said, left $50 for headstone, but his in

Some of the old neighbors are discussing
the propriety of the monument, but that

The Sanford Electoral Eli.

Mir. Sanford (Democrat) from Alabama
has introduced a bill in the house for
counting the electoral votes which differs
from the one now IN the hands of the
special house committee. already referred
to- The Sanford bill provides that the
two houses of congress shall meet in joint
session to count the votes. the second
Wednesday IN February after the presi-
dental election Three tellers, one from
the senate and two on the part of the
house, shall be appointed, and to them
shall be given the certificates of the votes
from the states, as they are opened By the
president OF the senate, and they shall
count the votes and declare the result II
there shall be two or more certificates from
state certifying TO different results. the
count shall be suspended. aud the two
houses shall separate aud, without deba'e.

which they agree on shall be acce pied and

o. the certificates shall be received and
that one shall be received which
has msj0ritv of the votes cast.
1t there be tie, then oue-half the
electoral votes in each certificate shall be
counted. 1t provides, further, that if, af-
ter the appointment of electors in any
state, contest shall arise and the su-
preme court Of the state shall decide it, its
decision properly certified shall he accept
ed as final. and the electoral votes declared
by 1t to be legal shall be counted
The two points in which this bill differs
from the one in the hands of the house
committee, are: First. that it requires the
two houses, when they cannot agree which
OF two or more contesting certificates shall
be accepted, to meet in a body and decide
the dispute by a majority vote. ID such
case the house, being the larger body
will uu'vOte the senate and carry it's poiut
Senators will object TO this. because it
places them at disadvantage. Second.
the Sanford bill provides that where the
supreme court OF state shall have de-
clded between contesting returns, its de-
clsion shall be accepted as final while the
house bill provides that snch decision may
be set aside by the concurrent votes of the
two houses. La other words. the house
bill allows the two houses t. reject the de-
clsion OF a state supreme court where it is
fagrantly wrong; and the Sanford bill re-
quIres such decision to be accepted, even
