We would ask the taxpayer fine rc,nem'

they will invest their capital at Dillon or
move to some more favored locality, In a
more favored county.

from the removal of the county seat, as our

AB. H0RGAN's RESOLUTION IN THE SENATE,
Mr. Morgan to-day called up In the Senate
bis resolution declaring explicitly that the
President OF the Senate is not vested with
the power under the Constitution to decide
what electoral votes shall be counted or re-
jected. Mr.. Morgan briefly explained that the
resolution was simply intended to prescribe the
power OF the President OF the Senate.
MI. EdmUndS was opposed to making any
nalf declarations II the resolution had said
that the President OF the Senate, the Senate
Itself or the House OF Representatives, or all
three OF them together had not the power
under the Constitution to count or decide the
vote, he would say amen to it. He Was so thor.
ougbiy democratic that he believed the liberty
aid preservation of the nation depended large
ly upon the rights conferred upon the States IN
TINS matter. He hoped the Senator from Ala
pama would not at this time, press q vote
on the resolution. Mr.. EdmundS moved to lay
the resolution on the table, which was rel jected
by party vote.
Mr.. Blair then moved to refer to the iudi-
clary committee, on which motion the discus
SiOh was continued.
The motion to refer to the judiciary commit
tee was voted down. Senator Hoar and others
thought this resolution ought not to interfere
with appropriations.
Senator COnkliDg made a strong speech on
The question, and The galleries filled up rapidly
He said the President OF the Senate had no
more power under the Constitution to make
the count and decide the votes than the SER
geant. alarms
