they shall be declared that the re-
suit shall be delivered to the Presi-
dent of the Senate, who shall an
noun"e the state of the vote
and the persons elected to
the two Houses assembled,
as aforesaid, which shall be
deemed the declaration of the per
sons elected President and Vice

Section 2 provides that if it shall
appear that any votes of electors for
President and Vice-President of the
United States have been given on a
day other than that fixed for the

gress, in pursuance of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and if

the result of the election, they
shall be reported by the
President of the Senate in the
following manner: Were the votes
of electors cast on the - day OF
-, 1880, to be counted the result
would be: For A B for President
of the United States - votes,
and for G D for President of the

votes. But in either event -
- is elected President of the

manner for Vice-President.

the committee from which this re-
port had come, either were rot in
vited or failed to get their invita-.
tions to the meeting last night, at
which he understood this amendment
was agreed upon, he thought they
would like to see it in print before
committing themselves for or against
it. He, therefore, asked that it go
over for one day under the rule.
