TUB HOUSE IIKALEK'S STOUY.
Mauy years aRo.before the era of railroad'
and when highwaymen abounded along tl
u'reat loute from Calais to Paris, a noted
drover, who had Lien to Roulogtio. with
nrgo drove of horses, which he had sold for
cash, was overtaken by night on his return
near Marquise. IIo remembered that a lit
tie distance ahead vvaa a quiet inn ho hat'
nver Mopped at,and he determined to spend
the night there.
Aa ho. rode up to the house, tho landlord
a respectable looking person, received
hprso and led him away to the stable, whit
lie invited the diover to enter the public ait
ting-room.
lllere he found 'two young men, ono
of
whom, from bis resemblance to the Jaudlo:
urd
he recognized aa his eon ; the other, souu
what older, from his manners, appeared a'
to'behing to tho family. Immediately after
9iippcr(during'which tho drover stated where
lio I mil been and what good luck ho had met'
vvjtli,) tho son mounted a horse, nnd stating
that ho was going to Marquiso to stay all
night, rodo off. Tho'drover, having looked
nffer the comfort of LU horse, soon afte
requested tho landlord to show him to hiu
room.'
As tho traveler slipped off his garments,'
hq felt for tlio leathern belt about his waist,
tp;sce that it was secure. This contained Ills'
gold, whllo his paper ifioney was In a largo
wajllet, carried i i a pocket made for the pur
pose, in tho inside ol Ins vest. Deposit
ing these articles beneath' his pillow,' he ex
tinguished Ihb light and threw hlmsell upon
the bed, where, overcome by weariness, he
soon fell asleep.
Jlovvjlmig ie had been in this state? of
forgetfulnc.-.s he could not tell, when ho vvas
anjiised to wakefulness by the sound of some
person e ndeavnriiig toopen the window near
tho head of his bed. At tho samo time h"
heard suppressed voices vvithuut.as ofeveral
persons in whispered consultation.
hfturtlcd by this suipieioiu nppearanc ol
things, tho drover reached toward, the oh'lir
on which ho. had thrown his clothe, fur bis
weapons; but, to his dismay, he remember
ed that ou hjs arrival, when preparing to
wash oil' tho dust of his journey,ho lud laid
them aaide, within tho bar, and had neglect
ed to. lestimo them.
Scarcely conscious of what he was doing,
tho defenceless drover slipped from the loot
of tho bod, and hid himself in the darkness
behind a lot of women's dresses suspended
from the wall, and watched tho motions of a
man who was now slowly and cautiously en
tering. the room. Ho uvea fancied he could
delect tho rellection of the dim light upon
an upraised knife as th man approached
tho bed with staggering and uncertain steps,
Hut great was his relief, 'when, instead of
an Attempt at murder.tho intruder carelessly
bullied oil' liia clothes, and throwing himself
into the bed ho had just vacated, was soon
in a sound sleep,
Not knowing what to mako of this strange
affair, tho drover determined to dress him
self, call up the. landlord, and havo this sin
Kidar intrusion explained, IIo had reached
his clothes and slipped on his trousers', nnd
was, moving toward the door, when gleps
were heard cautiously croaslng the outer
room. Once more ho sought the shelter of
tho dresses, which completely screened hla
person, and awaited tho entrance of the per
sons, whoever they plight be. Presently the
door of tho room was silently opened, and
two 'men made their appearance. It was not
so dark but that tho drover' could readily
distinguish them to ho tho inkeeper and the
man he had seen at the supper table.
"Step lightly, I tell you," whispered the
landlord, "or you'll wake him up, and then
we'll have a pretty mean on our hands."
'1 ' k
"Nonsense r'repllcd th'o1 othcr,"vith rln
oath. "You arc scared, old man."
"Scared 17 repented tlifl first speaker; '"No
man over told Jean Qarnicr. Ijp.foro.Jio was
scaredl Here, give mo tho knife I I'll.shqiy,
you wlio U scared 1 You seciiro tho money
It's unilcr the pillow I, saw him put, It
thcr?, and I'll do the rest."
The, old man was In advance, and as ho
stood between tho window nnd tlio .drover,
tho latter could see his form bont over, tho,
bed. whllo his hand seemed to he searching
beneath the pillow,
"Here, Hcnrio takq it. Here's thp wal
let, and here's the belt. How .heavy tyls J"
and ho passed tho money to his compatv
ion beforo tho other had yet reached the
bedside.
The old man Ihwi put, ,hls, Jian,d to, hi?
bosom t ntid the trcmhliug droycr B.twliim
Iraw forth the long blade, thq .othct hand
iven him. For an instant tho.murderoU3
wrapbn was poised over his .head, and then
escended upon tho person or tuo poor
wretch ill tho bed. '
Tho murderer paused in,, his work for nn
instant, as if to satisfy himself that lilo wns
extinct; and. then moved quickly from the
room.
s soon as his footsteps had died in the,
listanco.tho horror stricken .drovor.e.scaped
through the window, and rau with all his
peed to Marquise, where), arousing the pen
pie of tho hotel, ho told his fearful story
A crowd soon collected about him, and ac
companied him to the scene of tho fearful
murder.' '' '
iyil about the'house was still, bttt.on ap
proaching the stablo a light was discovered
within : and moving noiselessly to the ab6
and peeriric through tho cfaelcs, tho two
murderers wero found in tho act of digging.
x crave beneath tho flooring. A rush was
mado upon them, and they were arrested
At the sight of the drover who was the
first to confront the guilty wrctchea, tlio
landlord uttered a shriek of terror, and fell
to tho'ground, while nis accomplice, ns pale
as a corpse, gazed upon him with affright
not doubting it was the ghost of the murder
ed man wh stood before him.
The party now proceeded to the house
lr.itrging the murderers along with them,
Lights were procured, and still keeping the
prisoners with them, the people Entered the
room whero lay tho body of tho man so
strangely murdered instead of tho horse
dealer. The.wife and.daughtqr followed.
When the covering wns removed from tho
face of the cdrpse, nnd tho full light ofth
candles flared upon it,,a wild cry burst from
the lips of the landlord s wife.
"My ton my murdered son I Who has
dono this?"
And with a hysterical scream she fell to
floor.
"No, no I it can't bo bo mother 1" exclaim-
cd tho daughter as she struggled to reach tho
bed. But the terrible ttutb burst upon her
as her eyes fell upon the mangled form of
her brother, and she also swooned upon the
body.
The cries of tho broken-hearted females
seemed to arouso the old man for a moment ;
and gazing wildly nt Iho sight before him
he realized also tho terrible truth. He had
murdered his own son 1
On investigating tho facts beforo tho mag
istrate the next day, it vvas ascertained that
the son of tho innkeeper, who was a dissi
pated young man', had visiteil Marqiilso the
previous evening, where, with some of his
associates lie bail been engaged in drinking
And gambling-till a lato hour; nnd being too
much intoxicated to remount his horse, and
aBhamcd'to meet his family, soma of his fol
low gamblers bad accompanied him homo ;
and supposing the room in which the drover
had been put to be vacated,they had assisted
tho drunken man into tho window. It wns
llieir voices tho lodger,had heard f aud ti) ua,
it was. that tho hapless youth had met hu
death nnd our friend escaped.
Tlio accomplice of tho landlord proved to
lio bia own-son-in-law, Henri Legrnnd.
Proni that awful hour the wretched moth
cr of that murdered' boy, murdered- by his
father s hand, remained a raving maniac. '
It is only necessary to add,- in concluding
this tale of horror, tbaf tho drover recovered
his money ; and juitiuo claiming her due,
the twotnunlm-rs paid tho penalty of their
crime npon tho guillotine. Shortly after
this !ait"qvcnt the poile of M;rqdise, to
whom the scene of the unnatural murder
had become an eyesoro, assembled .mil lev
eled the building to tho ground. The spot
is ntiiv covered with bramble and thistles,
and 'pointed out to' tho stranger as a placo
to be avoidei. ; for the ignorant assert that
it is hannted by tho ghost of tho murdered
nun.

A Jamlile of Mishaps.
A gentleman residing on 'Aberdeen strcet
was untll Friday last inclined to favor wom
an suffrage. His'wifc had delayed' moving
until after the 1st, so as to take advantage
of tho fall in hou.so rents. The1 house to
which they moved had ft tremendous steep
flight of stairs and oil-clothed .hall. Tho
wife had tho -stairs scrubbed very neatly,
and left the soap on tho top step. Her hus
band was up stairs, with n basket of clothes
pins in one hand and a clock tinder the other
arm, when his wife, who was down stairs,
awn mouse, and shaking her skirts, madly
bounded upon tho table and let olfa seriea
of shrill shrieks, beginning on high 'A
above the clcfl. Her husband, thinking the
house was on firo at tho very least, started
to run to her rescue, and stepping ou the
piece of aoap that she had thoughtfully left
on the stairs, sat down vehemently at the top
of the (light and slid-down with the speed of
thought. Fire llevv from his false teeth as
he hit the edge of each stop, volleys of
clothes pins were discharged into the air and
fell rattling aud rebounding ou tho oil-cloth,
and ths clock shed its contents over tho uni
verse. Tho husband had little tme for re
flection when he reached the glare oil-cloth
of the hall, and shot acrois it with scarcely
diminished velocity, literally making the
'oil-cloth and the seat of his pantaloons
smoko with friction and-finally bringing up
against the door with a violence that throat J
otied to burst the side out of tho house. The
fearful concussion started hU1 wife, who
turned a back summersault from the table
into a tub of soap-auds, in which' she was so
tightly wedged that she had to throw a hand

WIk n tho search commenced lor that slip

COUNTING ELECTORAtjVoTpS.
The 12th. Amcndmont to tho Constitution
of the United States after providing tlint the
certificates of return of electoral votes for
President nnd TIco Prciidcnt, in' tho feversl
states, shall bo' ten t tindor seal lo the Presi
dent of tho Senate nt Washington, proceeds:
Tho President of .ho Senate, shall, in the
presence of tho Scnato and Houc of Itep
rcs4nttWee, open nil tho certificates, and the
votes shall then bo counted."
An. important question arising upon this
clause of the. Constitution is this: Ily whom
by what authority shall tho .cloctoial
votes bo counted ? The clauso does not say
that the President of the Senate shall open
tho certificates of, return and count the, votes,
or cause them to bo counted, m It very cer
tainly would havo done if it had boen. in
tended by thq authors, of tho Constitution, to,
confer the power in question upon him; it
only says, tho votes shal bo eounted when
thev shall have been opened bv the President
of the Senate, in the presenco of tho two
Houses of Congress. And) inasmuch as the
.opening of returas nnd counting of. votca.are
botu mentioned in tuo clause, in, close con
nection, ffo that both wero evidently in the
mind of tho author of tho clause nt the
.same moment, tho express authority con
ferred upon the President of the Senate to
perform only tho one act, excludes all impli
cation of power in him to perform the
.other nnd this, upon a familiar legal rule
.of Interpretation.
Our.qucstion may therefore bo stated.thus:
Havo the two Ilouses.of Congress, in joint
meeting, assembled, the power to count, or
(which amounts to tho samo thing) to diroct
nnd control thq counting of thq electoral
voles produced before them by the President
of tho Senate ?
To this question' nn affirmative answer'
must be given f And, in the fir-1 place, it
may be'iisserted'tliRt'sueh power is to be
implied from the words of the' clause: above
recited, vvhich-clau-c requires tile returns tu
be produced and ' Opened Uefnro the two
IIoiisps, -with tho ndded words, "aim th
vote.4 shnll then'be counted 'that h, count
cil by the tvvii llottses then and there preent,
and ussemllled apparently fir' that 'express
purpose. 'Kesides, the reasihlng which' ex'
eludes the Presiding 'office of the Senate from
the exerclso of this power, points' irreslstably
to the possession of it by" the two Houses ;
fnr'no other possible'depositnry of the power
is indicated by tho Constitution, '
This implication from the text of the Con
stitution is supported by general considera
tions. It is necessary to the duo execution
of tlic duty enjoined that this power shall
be vested in the two Houses necessary to,
any due examination of returns, and to
weight of authority in decisions to he made;
and it is proper nlso,becauae the two Houses
represent both the people and tho states con
cerned in the election ; have members from
every section of the country, with local
knowledgo upon most questions that cau
arise in the counting of v6tes, "ntnt because
either House', of both Houses, may have im
mediate, separate duties to perform, conse
quent upon tho result of the count.
Assuming the authority of tho two House,
over the counting of electoral votes to rest
upon a true construction of the Constitution,
wo may advance to the next question, which
is: How shall that, authority he exercised?
Doubtless tho llpuscs may count by Tellers
by Clerks, by their Presiding Ollicora, or
even one of them, or by a combination of
these agencies, or somo of thcmaccqrding
to their proper discretion in the emplpy-
meut of means; exercising however over
their agents or instruments complete diree
tiou and control.
And generally, the exercisoof their pow
er, whether directly by themselves or by
their agents,-will be subject to regulation by
statute or by rule') for thus only can the or
derly and effectual performance of duty be
secured, lty atalute the time when the two
Huuses.slmll assemblu in joint meeting has

voles fraudulent vnlca unlawful voles, are

will rightfully assign the two 'highest nnio-i
in tho Government to the persnm honestly
and lawfully elected thereto. Tho word
"then," in this mauso, reasonably taken,
means that the counting shall follow tho
opening of tho returns nnd shall he proceed
ed with without unnecessary xlelay. Like
other provisions of tho Constitution, this
provision was intended fur practical use anil
it admits of such pauao or interruption in
the counting of votes us shall bo found nec
essary to the faithful performance of duty.
Diligence no doubt is implied, but it is a dili
gence which shall not merely hastvuto a re
sult, but shall also thoruvgVly accomplish
tho whole duty of tho occasiou tho ascer
tainment of the votes to be counted, their
enumeration and their formal announce
ment. Our next question relates to the erleiil of the
power vested in the two Houses of Cougresi
by the clauso in qucatlon,aud It is this ; How
ia that power bounded and defined as to the
rejection of electoral votes? And to this we
answer: it is oxactly defined and limited by
several provisions of the Constitution and is
no uncertain or vagrant power fitted to
elude research and ballle investigation, It
is not only a necessary and proper power,
wisely placed where wo find it, but it is an
eminently comprebenslble,definlto and work
able power, atfordiug little scope for loose
discretion or dangerous abuse.

The nroner .iurisdictlna ot the several
Slates in the appointment of Presidential Elecf
'org is to be completely respected by tne iw
Houses of Congress. Xhoso Houses are not w

may requlre,(Con. Art. II,?. 1, clause a), uni
the meotlng of Electors in each-SlaUs, and
their proceedings and returns, aro expressly
regulated by the 12th Amendment to, thu
Constitution, and plainly brought within th
scope of Federal jurisdiction. And by oth
er provisions of the Constitution the Inca
pacity of certain persons to servo as ftiee
tors, and of still other persons to receive elec
toral votes, is plainly pronouncod. By stat
ute also, passed injpursuance of the Consti
tution,, (Art. II, 5. 1, cl. 4), theUnitod States
has fixed uniform times for, choosing ana.
for, the meeting of Electors throughout thu,
country, regulated their action in, several.
particulars, and, designated the day wjaen
their returns shall be opened before the tnnf
Houses of Congress.
These provisions of the Constitution and
laws of tho United States, (with one other tj
be presently mentioned,) Cr with precision,
the limits ot the authority tD be exercisea
by the two Houses of Congress Inthc.exaru?
inatiounnd count of Electoral votes. Fo
they are to count voles cast, in coriforpiltjf
with the Constitution and iawsof thoUniteit.
States in other words lawful and true vote
and to reject all others. r
I3ul another provision of tho Constitution
ha. application hire and must not bo over
looked. It is that which provides that each
State shall appoint as many Electors as is
hall have, or be entitled to have, Senators
and Representatives in Congress. Here,
evidently, Is meant an actual bona fide ap-t
pointinent, of a proper number of Elecbrs,
by a State in tho Union. An unadmittod or
seciiW Stato aud a State so far disorganized
or 'unsettled politically or socially as
prevent a true appointment of Electors,
would not be within tho provision, and fc
State that appointed too many Electors could
'rinti-Saim to have her votes counted. It fol
low also Inevitably fron this prpvisionand
from tho I2'h Amendm-nt that the 'Electors
in a Sute. wno assume to castelectoral vote ..
therefor, must bo lawfully appointed uuder,
tie laws of the btato anil represent in lae
fa sovereign authority. Such porsons only
aro known to the Constitution as the Elector
of a State, and hence proof of their appoint
ment is always required when votes cast by
them are to be, counted by the two Houses of
Congress. ,
In view of the above mentioned provision
of the Constitution of the United States and
of decisions heretofore made by the two
Houses of Congress in the exercise of .their
uriadiction over electoral returns, we may
now proceed to designate the electoral votfti
which, whenever presented, aro to be nel4. u
illegal and rejected from computation.
They are: votes given by disqualified Elec
tors, or for disqualified candidates; vote
cast in an unlawful manner'or' at nn un
lawful time; votes given by immature States
or by States in no condition to vote, and
astly, votes given by unlawful Colleges.
1. 1'orVj cail by tmquaUfied IJeelort : Per
sons who shall, nt tho time of their appoint-'
ment as Electors, havo been members 'of
cither House of Congress, or have then held'
offices of trust or profit under tho United!'
States, cannot cast electoral votes, (Con.
Art. II, 5. 1. cl. 2.) And it is fairly to bar.'
implied, that the acceptance by an Elector
of membership in Congress or a Federal
office, subsequent to his appointment will
disqualify him for electoral sorvico and ren' '
der void any vote given by him in nn -Elec"
toral College. Mr. Grundy's Committee of
1S37, expressed the emphatic opinion, that
this disqualifying clause of the Constitution,
"ought to bp carried, in its whole spirit, into
rigid execution, in order to prevent officer,
of tho General Government from bringlng
(heir official. power to influence the election,
of President aud Vice President of tho
'United States," (lientonls Ab. Deb. XHV

3. Vutet cast in an iin'awful manner : The
Constitution commands the Electors to c.vt
their votes in a certain manner, Amd'l.
XII,) and that manner is to be obaarved.
They are to vote by ballot it is not said hy
secrrt ballot but that is probably intended
their ballot lorPresidint andVico President
aro to bo distinct or separate, each contain
ing tho name of the person voted for aud
they aro not to vote for inhabitant of their
own Statu for Aof'i otlicea. It has boen de
cided, howover, that electoral votes will not
be rejected because tho certificate of return
does not aet forth that the Electors voted
by ballot, (Cong. Globe, 1872-3, pp. 1287,
12'JS,) for in the absence of evidence to th
contrary it Is to be presumed that they havo
observed tho comuiauds of the Constitution,
and the Constitution does not require them
to certify the manner in which they hava
voted, In a case where votes were returned
from Missouri for li. Grutz Drown, of that
Stato for President and also other vote for
the same person for Vice President, an ob
jection made to receiving th votes wt with
drawn upon its appearing that the Elector
had certified that non of them who hid
voted for Mr.llrown fur President had toted
for him for Vice President. (Globe, 1872-8,
p. 1300.)
