We have as yet_no-accohrit the ceremony, and the following will be interesting to our reidersoia indi cating the probable method of pro ceeding. The _two Houses- of Con gress will meet together for the pur pose at one o'clock in the afternoon; The :President of, the Senate will , open the sealed envelops containing the votes, and read them aloud. They will be recorded by three tellers, -one of whom will be 'chosen by the Sen. ate and two by the- House, Before the vote of any_State corded, any Senator or Reprmienta- Live' may object to it. Thereupon,the Senate will go back toits own.cham ber, and the two Houses wi l vote separately, and Without data°, on the question raised by the objecting member. That done, the Semite will return to the House; and the" re suit of the vote jest taken will be an nounced. If it shall be found that both Houses have agreed to receive the vote a the State objected to, it will be counted of coarse . ; but if one House decides to reject, even though the other. is _willing to receive, we presume that the °vote of the State will thereby be excluded. The ques tion be determined by the two Hohses will be whether the work of recon struntken has been fully accomplish ed according to law. The condition of every one of the rebel States is, prima facie, that its right to vote for President is suspended until it shall be entirety reconstructed ; and un less the two Houses of Congress join in the declaration that reconstruction Is complete, and the right thereby re vived, that right cannot be exercised. The States whose votes will not be counted are the four whose recoil= struction has not been consummated. These are Texas, Mississippi, Virgi nia, and Georgia. The only one of the four about which any difference of opinion is probable in Congress is Georgia. Indeed, the other three chose no Electors, and have sent up no Votes ^to be acted upon. The Representatives of Georgia have; however, been recognized in the low er House, while in the Senate they are not yet admitted, on the ground that the process of reconstruction in that State - has been marked by viola tions of the Reconstruction law. If this view should prevail in the House also, when the point is raised on counting the Electoral votes, it will leave the House in' the attitude of contradicting its own former action, and of retaining in its membership six gentlemen whom, on second thoughts, it does not regard as right fully entitled to that distinction. But as the vote of Georgia will be equally excluded whether the House adopts that view or not, it is possible that -the two branches of Congress may be found in opposition to each oilier upon the question regarding that State. The vote of Louisiana may also be objected to on account of the general terrorism which prevailed there at the time of the election ; but it is doubtful whether it will be thoughtriecOssary to press that point. After the result of the election has been officially proclaimed by the Pres ident of the Senate in his capacity as presiding officer of the joint meeting of the two Houses, a committee of members of the two will be appoint ed for the purpose of formally com municating t 6 Gen. Gun and Mr. CoLrax the fact, which they are pret ty well aware of already, that the one has been elected President and the other Vice-President of the United States. In 1860 when the votes were counted that elected Immix and RAMLIN, the arch traitor Brum inimemc presided over the joint Con vention of the two Houses. Those who (like ourself) had the pleasure of witnessing 'the ceremony will re member with what evident disrelish he performed - his part, and announced the result. The presiding officer now is Bur WAns,who will be hearti ly in sympathy with the vote, and whose announcement of - the election of Gun sad CoLrAx will be given with evident satisfaction. PACITIO RAnaoAns.—The plan for the Pacific railroad lines agreed upon recently by the Senate Committee provides for a Northern Pacific rail road and an Atlantic and Pacific railroad, the latter extending from Little Rock, on the thirty-fifth degee of latitude to the southern border of California, there to join the Southern Pacific railroad line as established by a California charter to San Fran cisco. The bill will provide for a branch from Portland, Oregon, south west to a connection with the main trunk line of the *Union P.Lcifie rail. road on Humbolt ;river ; these com• panies to isstie betide, respectively, as twenty mile sections may be com pleted, to the itmount of thirty thous and dollars per mile, bearing six per cent. interest, payable in greenbacks, running thirty years. To secure payment of interest by these compa nies, all dues from the Government to them for transportation are retain ed, and the title to public lands to remain in the Government until the latter shall offer them for sale in the usual manner. Each company is re quired to pay to the Treasury ten per cent of the gross receipts as (order security for the - payment of Interest.• The branch road from the Northern Pacific to Portland isexcla ded from the above aid, as is also the eastern division in Kansas. • —The Mexican Congre a s adjonrn ad on the 21st of January. i 13=E;MO=1 FRO.V.

Rum-imam or Acauccucaz.—The Commissioner of Agriculture is over whelmed with applications limn all sections of the country for...seeds, vines: plants, &c., the result of an erroneas impression that the former system of genera ad miscellaneous distribution of common garden seeds would be continued. It would be well for the public to be correctly in formed upon this subject yat once.— Owing to the very small sum of money appropriated by the last Con gress " for the purchase and distri bution of seeds, cereals," Sic., (being less than one-fifth of the amount ap propriated by the preceding Cen gress,) it will be impossible to make any general distribption as hereto fore. The very limited amount of seeds purchased - has been selected in Europe with special care as to new variety and superior quality,and will be distributed through members of Congress, State and county agricul tural organizations, and Monthly sta tistical correspondents of the_depart ment, and not through miscellaneous and unknown channels. It is there fore useless to apply individually to the departnent. GENERAL HANCOCIL—In reference to the statemet49 which have appeared in the papers dining the last few days, to the effect that Geneial Han cock's name has been mentioned by a portion of the press of Penney!ya nk as a candidate for Governor of that State at the next election, the Washington Chronicle says it may be stated that it has been well knowii here for Several months that General Hancock has persistently refused to become a candidate for that-office, ,or interfere with the local politics of his State ,as long ;as he may remain in the army. Cusamtcr Rammertox.—The amount of mutilated fractional currency and United States notes now being receiv ed at the Redemption Bureau of the Treasury Department for exchange is greater than ever before,and requires the force employed on that division to be at work until a much later honi than usual. Since the 20th of last month the. daily amounts received for iredemption from all quarters has been very heairy, and seem to be in creasing daily. Seven hundred thou sand dollars were received on Toes day,and a larger amount on Monday. The large sums returned forredemp tion indicate that the origin al issues of United States currency are worn to an extent that interferes with ita circulation. • me.
