canvassing of the votes for Presidential

lhe nulhoer Oh votes gwen lor each cahul-
dete shall be made and signed by the pre-
siding officer of each town meeting, and
after one has been recorded i'll the town
clerks office, they shall be separately
sealed by him, and the presiding officer
shall deliver to the county clerk of his
county, or in case of the absence or disa-
blity of the clerk to the sheriff, within
two days after the election one of the GER
titicates, and shall transmit the other by
mail to the Secretary of State at Mont
pelier, who shall open and put it
on file in his Office to be used
by the canvaSSerS in case the
other certificate is lost or defaced. There
is no provision authorizing or directing
the county clerks to forward the certiti-
Gates deposited with them to the Secretary
of State, and yet these very certificates are
the ones to be used-the Others not being
available unless these are lost. The sec
tons of the revised laws relating to the
canvasSng of votes were drawn by Judge
Taft when he was member of the Leg
islature in 1850. At that time the county
clerks used to bring the certificates with
them and count them themselves. Judge
Taft found out that that useless proceed
ing cost the State $500, and he drew bill
abolishing it, which was passed and be
. came Il part of the revised law. 1t con-
