that all of that vast region ly ii .'between

decided by chance. It was virtually de

so i • \uxa or xx it:.
If he was to choose Inst ween thi- b. '
and xvar lix - wonlxl accept the bill, Put he
, J did not believe there was any dang' r.
1 riie corn, or commission authoriu-d l<v
this bill uas not authorized under ti.e
judicial power of the Constitution. It
xx as to he a political court and was not
' authorized ly the Constituti nat ail. He
' thought the bill w.ts tra<cable to his
friend, the Senator frxm Vermont Mr.
' Kxlmunds i, beraust in debute a _x car ago
he foreshadowed the very p :-..-;tiiis
of this bill. Mr. Sherman denied that
• Justices of the Supreme Court al.-oxv,:t*
■ officers of the govrnment, or that they
could be thus culled upon to till other of
fices, as tliis bill proposed. The prac
tice had been in such cases for the Pr< ,-i

i Senate to confirm.
j Another objection he had. to the 1 .11
xv that it undertook to delegate p :
' I conferred upon Corgre*.* to a eomoiis
•:-ion. It was an axiom of the laxx that
;; legislative powers could not be dilxga

lie argux*l that the Pretideiit of the
Senate had the power t<> open andcount
tlic electoral vote, and this bill was an
attempt to change the simple habits iff
our forefathers which were adhcreu t<>-
until I sr.}, w hen Congress, without
. consideration and without debate adop
ted the twenty-second joint rule, but
had now got rid ff it. Suppose the
Judges of the Supreme Court should r<-
fuse to perform the duties imposed upon
them by this bill, Congress could not
compel lhem to do so. It was simply
l.njiosing upon them u troublesome and
, nauiful matter without defining their
power. If the judges should decline
to act the scheme would he at an
end.
If this commission were to take the
votes as certified, everybody knew who
was President,but if they were to go
back ofthe returns God only knew what
would be the result. It would depend
| upon the chance in selecting the fifth
Justice ofthe Suprct ie Court.
Mr. Thurman Ohio) -aid the hill scut
to the commission all question.* .f law
as well as of fact, how tliey would de
cide no mortal could tell.
Mr. Sherman. That dejiends iq>oii
chance in the Supreme Court.
Continuing his argument, he said the
■Senate was now asked to vote for tin.*
bil', which substituted chance for the
votooftbe electors given according to
law. He contended that the bill en
tru ted to a secret conclave the power t >
elect a President. It was a College <•(
Cardinals for that purpose. While the
commission would be in secret session
<* uisidcring a* to how the vote of Flori
da must be counted, the votes of the
great States of New York, Ohio and
' Pennsylvania would remain uncounted.
! The people would be in a fever of excite
ment. The controversy would be delay
ed, because the very lull provided ma
chinery for delay. He had no doubt
mcmbeis ol tin; commission would en
deavor to do their full duty, but this iin
itosed upon them imptossible duties.
Why was the power <ff the President ot
the Senate feared? F.vcry act <>l his in
counting the vote must he done in piib
iicand would be closely watched, but l>>
this bill 'hat power xvas gixeu to a secret
committee, lie submitted to tlicSenati
that it was best to count the vote a* it
had been counted heretofore, as it had
been counted twenty-two times during
the history of the government. It xx. >

Mr. Conkling, of New York, then took
the tloor.
After a brief pre face lie sj ke of t !,
objections to the bill, and-aid if : was
true that the right to count the vo'i was
by the Constitution imposed upo.i the
l'resident of the senate, the hill now
upon the table, or any bill, rule or plan,
would not be of the slightest efficacy or
effect. Whenever the Constitution de
posited a power with any officer,depart
ment or functionary, there it must re
main. Ifthe Constitution deposited in
the President of the Senate power to
count the electoral vote, there was an
end of it, and any act or rule to strip him
of that power would he a hold intrusion
upon the Constitution. If such was the
power of the President of the Senate,
then every proceeding had heretofore
by* the two houses of Congress xvas a
flagrant violation of the Constitution.

him to take a title to hi* great Ottice that

counting of the electoral vote was not a
compromise. A Presidential election had
occurred, and. unless there was a tie,

that fart was no compromise.
Mr. Dawea (Mas* said that while lie

reasons which broiighl hi- mind to the

to show tTiat not one single point of opposi

tained by nn-on and re-pec able nuthori
ty: but lie was admonished b ' tin; lutene-s
of the hour and the fatigue of tbo fSenuto
—ho might say tho health of the Senate,
and his own—to forego what ho wished to
-ay, nnd, therefore, his remarks would bo
comparatively brief, lie had been antici
pated in what ho would say by those who
had preceded him in favor of the bill, nnd
who hud said it more ably than bo could;
therefore it was not a matter of regret that
ho was confined to so brief a 'iuio. Ho ex
pressed his gratification at tho remarks of
tho Seiiutor fr- 111 Michigan (Mr, Chris*
tinncy), which were so clear and lawyer
like, taking a jtidiciul view of M e subject.
He maintained the constitutionality of the 1
•nt a ure, and argued that the question was
of-il. h importance that tbo perpetuity of '
oftl.o nation depended upon iM solution. I
There never was greater reason than now J
to constitute such a tribunal as the bill |

Prurigo, or more commonly known a;
Itching Pile# The itching at times was
almost intolerable, increased by scratch

I bought a box of "Swayne'a Ointment|
its use gnvw quick relict, and in a short
time made a perfect cure. 1 can now
sleep undisturbed, and 1 would advise all i
who are suffering with this di-tres-mg

Tins st&oil&rd article is com
jKHimiotl with the greatest carc-.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever. m.
It restores gray or faded hair to
its youthfhl color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the heat! a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing baldness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
As a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.
A. A. Hayes, M. D., State As
saycr of Massachusetts, says, '• The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality ; and
I consider it the BEST PnKFAitATioN
for its intended purposes."

FOR THE WHISKERS,
This elegant preparation may be
relied on to change the color of the
beard from gray or any other un
desirable shade, to brown or black,
at discretion. It is easily applied,
wing in one preparation, and quick
ly and effectually produces a per
mancnt color, which will neither
rub nor wash off.
