Arrr-uallthe Gllibustering and
Wowing of the Democrats about the
counting of the electoral vote, tliat
event took place on Wednesday last,
; i ticnnl nnii'l manner, and we
II l HV .... J "
vnnnose that it will now be conceded
all around, that Garfield and Arthur
mav and can assume the duties of
thr rpencetive offices on the 4th
..w J
day of March next.
Iranvone ever took stock m
the paltry charge that Henry W.
Oliver was lacking in endowments
and abilitv, we fancy that a perusal
of h:s manlv and sensible letter of
declination will dissipate the idea.
Xow that he is out of their road
his bitterest opponents unhesitat
ingly I coneede hi merit, and thus
heap shame upon their own heads
for their disreputable and factious
course towards him.
The counting of tiie electoral
vote on Wednesday last, and the
announcement that James A. Gar
field was duly elected President of
iho I'nitrtl States for the term of
four voars, commencing on the 4th
day of March next, marked the
lyeofth twentieth year of the
the rule of the Republican party,
end its entrance upon a further term
of four years. Twenty years is
coed long time for the Democratic
pirty to be out in the cold, hunger
ing pi; the spoils of office.
We suppose that the 'Tiidepe-nd-cat
pres.? "'tha- Jielped to force Mr.
f)liver into withdrawing from the
-contest fur Senator by its continued
howl over the injury produced by
the "deadlock," which it assumed
vaa attributable to him alone, is
by ihw this time satisfied that
i he sacrifice of the regular nominee
does uot always unlock difficult
political probiercs. particularly when
a factious minority lias possession
f a duplicate key.
Tug Philadelphia Xarth American
that has teen giving aid and comfort
to the facViiinwta at Harrisburg, in
view of a threatened holt of the Re
publican Municipal ticket, pathctic-
,-illy inquires if the 'majority shall
govern," and grows quite lugubrious
over the possible defeat of the city
ticket. We imagine that this same
inquiry will one of these fine days
le madebyssmeof our home b-uters,
Itniak?i! mightv difference whose
x is gfrred.
Coj.. Thomas N. IUyxe, of Alle
frcny connty, the present candidate
of the bolters, is a gentleman of
TCfl!cDt private character, a lawyer
of fair standing, a soldier with
good record, aud is held in high
esteem in Allegheny couttty, as one
of whose representatives in Congress
Jie was last fall elected to a second
terra. He is, however, not the peer
of Gen. Beaver ia point of ability,
xrA has made a great mistake polit
ically, in permitting himself toe
used as a candidate by the men who
sil Harrisburg are attempting to de
stroy the organization of the party
that has bestowed upon him some
of its choicest gifts.
It can so longer be a matter of
doubt to even the dullest compre
hension, that the bolters at Harris
hurt are not governed by any other
motive than a determination to rule
or ruin the party. No sooner had
Messrs. Oliver and Crow withdrawn
as candidates, than this faction again
assembled in eaueus, selected a new
candidate and pledged themselves
to stand by him. Before the slight
est effort could be made to harmon
tue differences and agree upon a
candidate generally acceptable, these
1oltcrs closed ev ery avenue leading
towards an adjustment, and the
question stilljemains to be determin
ed, liall one-third of the party be per
mitted to coerce and control the other
two-thirds.
Becoming fully sati3ed that the
liolters had the power to prevent
his election, and were determined
to do so at all , hazards, Mr.
iver on ednesday evening last,
addressed a letter to the Republic
ans of the Legislature withdrawing
from the contest, 'and at the same
time sent a private letter to Mr.
Grow advising him of his action.
Immediately the friends of the latter
assembled in caucus, and were od
drcseed by him and informed that
lie also would withdraw; at the same
time lie submitted the names of
three gentlemen, viz: Lieutenant
Governor Stone, Hon. W. H. Arm
strong and Gen. Jame A. Beaver,
either of whom he said he under
stood would be acceptable to the
friend of Mr. Oliver, and himself
xprel a desire that General
Beaver be selected as the candidate.
This proposition looking to con
ciliation and harmony was received
with a term of dissent Mr. Grow
himself was charged with being
false to his professions and his
friends. :A plot to elect Wolf by the
aid of Democratic votes was then
submitted and voted down bv a ma
jority of barely two; the suggestion
to accept Gen. Beaver as a compro-
. . .. . 1
misc candidate was hastily rejected,
and CoL Bayne was adopted cs a
candidate in place of Mr. Grow, and
the caucus wa then pleelged to
vote for him persistently uitil two
thirds of its number de-cided other
wise,
Meanwhile between fifty and mx
iy of those who had supported Mr.
Oliver assembled together, to whom
.also were submitted lh; same Lt
of three candidates, and having
knowledge of Mr. Grow's preference
for Gem Beaver, they in the interest
ofharmony adopted him a their
candidate.
As the mutter rtands at present,
the withdrawal 'of Oliver and Grow
has only intensified the dead-lock,
Colonel Bayne receiving the vote
formerly cast bv the bolters for ( J row.
with the addition of about half
of the Allegheny delation while
Gen. Beaver has received the vote of
the balance of the party, amounting
to eightv.
The withdrawal of Mr. Grow lias
deprived the majority of l.;s sup
porters of the plausible excuse that
in voting for him they were carrying
out the instructions of their constit
uent and by their hostility to Gen.
Beaver, a fine lawyer, a capital
speaker, .a gentleman of the purest
character, a one legged soldier whose
romri for eallantrv is unsurpassed
by that of any soldier in the Com
monwealth, they have placed them
selves on record as mere factionists,
determined to prevent the majority
from electing the candidate of their
choice.
Axn so, the clumsy political hand
of the lion. Jeremiah S. Black, is
made visible in the manipulation
of '-Reformer'' Wolfs Machine. The
veiled prophet has been exposed,
and the immaculate "anti machine"
reformer stands forth an unscrupu
lous demagogue, w ho has been using
and duping Grow, while he was at
tempting to procure his own e lection
as Senator by bargaining with the
Democrats. The withdrawal of
Messrs. Oliver and Grow gave the
little trickster the opportunity to
spring tr.ip. Immediately a
caucus of the "anti-caucus'' reform
ers was called, and Mr. Wolf demure
ly announced that he had the prom
ise of forty Democ ratic votes, which
with the votes ef those who had
been standing by Grow would secure
his own election. To the credit of
the bolters, be it said, they laughed
him to scorn, and he got only
eighteen votes in favor of his shame
ful proposition. It turns out, so say
all re-ports from Harrisburg Ur.it
Judge Black, was Wolfs friend vud
backer, and it was thrutwh his in
strumentality that tha Democratic
votes were to be procured.
It his been evident from the first,
that had Grow gone into the regu
lar caucus In? would have led Oliver
on the first ballot, and would in all
probability have been mad the
regular nominee, and it was freely
charged that Wolfe who managed Lis
caucus, prevented him from doing
so from purely wlfjsh motives. The
outcome, apparently eiemoiTr::.
the truth of this charge, and while
the little demagogue has been baf
fled, it shows clearly that Grow and
a rnaiontv of his followers nave
been the merest dupes, the ' r.ios
ductile clav in the hands of this
unscrupulous political trickster.
As we anticipated, the Herald
advocacy of regala nominations,
and its consequent expo art e.f the
clique in this county who are at
tempting to disrupt tlie party by
sustaining the course of the bolters
at Harrisburg, has drawn upon the
head of iti editor the bitter wrath
of the recusants. The aid jf :!:;
"bureau of nincompoops" that eo
ably edited tht Cjmmercial a year
since, has again been called into
requisition, and a couple columns
of that valuable journal was last
week elevoted to his tersonai vilifi
cation. An editorial experience of
over thirty years has taughut us
that, where argument is lacking.
abuse it the invariable resort of
shallow minds, and a very ancient
writer has said, it is in unprofitable
thing to answer a fool according to
his folly, lest thou also be like unto
him. Life is too sliort to be
frittered away by writing replies to
mere Ltye babbling, as empty as the
wind, and we are not to be diverted
from a duty we owe tluepariy whose
principles and practices we sustain,
by personal assaults upon ourself.
The Republicans of this county are
too intelligent to have their atten
tion led away from the damning
treachery of the Cornmercuil and its
backers to the political organization
they profess to support, by personal
attacks upon those who sustain it.
If, however, the bolters and their
organ think otherwise, let them con
tinue their pn-nt Oii'mcFc of s'yle
wprf.-.re.

known as the Bc-Iiefonte PentiLJcs.
he immediately after the isaue of
the proclamation calling for volun
teers hastened to Harrisburg and
tendered to Gov. Curtain, who was
its former Captain, the services of
Uie eoiiipany. The tender was ac
cepted and thv; company was the
third to rendezvous at Cams Curtain.
He served as a lieutenant, and at
the expiration of three months'
service, was npjoiite!l Lieutenant
Uolonc! of the Jotli
, , , 1 " rc?!.iaeii a P0'
sition which he soon resirned to ac-
cept the Colonelcy of the 148th
With this regiment ho went fairly
into the war. He was wounded in
the body at Chancellors ville and was
struck with a ball at Spottsylvania
court-house. At Cold Harbor he
Vfia slightly wounded, and in the
first assault on Petersburg was seri
ously injured Ihcexilosibnofa
shelL In the Lattfu at iiaani Sta
tion on the Weldon Railroad, a hen
he assumed command of his brigade,
ho was so severely wounded by a
rifle ball that amputation of the
right leg at the bin became necessa
ry. He remained a long period in
tlio field hospital, and was consider
ed to have one chance in a thousand
for recovery, but receiving the most
skillful medical attendance and
carclul nursing, survived. Being
unable to perform field duty, he de
clined a detail for Court Martial
service at Washington, and was, at
his own request, mustered out in
December, 18:1 i, on account of
wounds received in battle. Colonel
Beaver w.i3 appointed a Prove t Brig
adier Genera! for gallant and. mcrit
ous bcrvicu during the campaign ia
the wilderness, ami particularly
while in command ol the brigade at
Cold Harbor. On Lis return home
lie resumed l ic practice of law, which
he has since pursued with distin
guished snc:e,ssat Bellefonte. He
was appoint- d by Gov. Geary, in
l SiVS, a .Major General of the Nation
al Guard, "a position he has since
held, being now commander of the
5th Division. He was in command
at Altoona during the riots in 1S77,
and by prudence and firmness suc
ceeded in averting bloodshed on the
one hand and the destruction of
property on the other. Hehas never
I icon a candidate for office except in
IH-'A), when he permitted his name
to be rcd in connection with the
position of Representative in the
Legislature in the face of a horc
Ijss majority against his party.
In this contest he made such a
handsome gain that his friends held
he woui-l have won had he made a
personal canvass. Besides attend
ing to his extensive law practice he
is interested in practical agriculture,
directing the cultivation of his fine
farm r.rar Bellefonte. On the retire
ment of Judge Watts in 1M74,
by reason of his appointment
as Commissioner of Agriculture,
General Beaver was elected Presi
dent of the B acrd of Trustees of
the Agricultural College of Pennsyl
vania now the Pennsylvania State
College located in Center county,
and devoted inucli of his time to
the iutcrt sts of that Institution. He
is also a Trustee of several other
colleges, and is connected with the
coi.trol of several other schools, both
male and female. General Beaver
has been repeatedly named i a con
ntctiem wiui t:ie Governorship, and
it is said that he has been slated for
the uec.essien of Governor Hoyt.
He was a delegate to the Re-publican
Convention last June- and was chair

of the "DO who voted steadily for

The flowing is II. W. Oliver's
letter withdrawing f;ym. the Sena
torial contest :
To the J It-publican Member of the Gen
eral .l.-faul!u:
The contest" fer the Senatorship
iiaviug been so protracted, and with
out reasonable hope of solution so
lov.'Z aa the principal candidates re
main ;:s contestants, it is elto.thcr
fitting in n;e f.t this tunc to txprete
my views on the subject. It is hon
eirable ambit:-, n in any man, tecling
that he has ti e proper ele-mciits
I within hii.iM-lf P. worthily falliJl its
Jeties to :-spir. t a seat in the
nationul co:te. J Specially U this
so when that amLlliuii 1 to repre
sent a great commonwealth like
Pennsylvania. Inspired by this
feeliir I Locume a candidate for
Senate-r, and revdveel the nomination
of my party. Political parties have
cxisteet in every State of which we
i.vc c:ir history, and "thev are
necessary to the well-being of the
Government. In matters of party
representation and organization a
neimir:aing convention and caucus
are an iteeesary adjuncts to success
as the individual membership upon,
which the party is founded. As a
Republican, and the party nominee,
I was entitled to the support of
every member of the General As
3f inll y who had been nominated
and elected c$ a Republican, unless
iinfiited for tli otucc ov ee,nic moral,
political or personal defect. I am.
unaware of any such objection, nor
has any to my knowledge been
suggested. But, unfortunately for
my aspirations, a sufficient numler
of Republican have refused either
to take part in making tha nomine
tion oj support the nominee of the
majority. Many, perhaps all, of the
gentleman who have adopted this
method of compassing the defeat of
the party .nominee are doubtless
actuated by upright and conscien
tious motives, and in so far as they
arc eo actuated they have my en
tire recnect, although a& a Repub
lican i cannot approve the stops
they haw taken. It would be high
ly absurd to say that the interest
and we lfare of the people of this
Commonwealth would be best sub
seucd by tha clcr-tion of ar.v one
man to the Henate of iLa iTmteu
.State. In a ?tate as largo and
populous r.a ours, rio-h in material,
wealth and culture, there are many
men who would honor as well as be
honored by the position. For my
self, realizinirthat the party nominee
cannot be etected owing to the re
ftiaai of a largo and respectable num
ber of Republicans tt join with thejr
Prethren in the choice ot 1'ic mar
jority, it is due to my supporters to
say that 1 am no longer a candidate
and that they nre free to select any
r-tticr wortnv Kepu'Pean. it is
hariiy necessary for me express my
appreciation of the rnhnly and stead
fust supportwliich has been accorded
me by a majority of the Republican
members ot the Le--:U1 attire. Apart
fremi my jK-rsonal friends, I ragard
this support, not as a tribute to niy
self, but as a manifestation of re
ppect for the rules and customs of
the party to which we belong.
Time will demonstrate their action
has the approval of the Republicans
of the State. Th'w letter, owing to
the circumstances, is ' to nt.nie c:
tent pecesnarily personal, but no
more so, I trust, than a modest ap
preciation of the situation warrants.

the i-tectoral votes for prcsielent and
vice pr -ident, the galleries of the
house v re filleel with spectators a
larj;e in i.'ority of whom were ladies
desirou f witnessing that ceremo
ny. Oa the lloor a few wooden
chairs wero sandwiched in between
the scabs of members for the accom
modation of senators, but otherwise
there w no indication that any
save the usual routine business eif
the house was to be transacted.
At a fc;v minutes past 12 o'cletck
the doorkeeper announceel the ar
rival of Mr. Wheeler and the senate
of the Uniteel States, who then filed
into the chamber.
Mr. Wheeler took a seat on the
right hand of Speaker Randall, and
the senators were accommodated
with chairs in the front rows of
desks.
Mr. Wheeler called the assembly
to order and said: "The two houses
being assembled in pursuance of the
constitution, that the votes may be
counted and declared for president
and vice-president on the fourth
day of March, 1881, it becomes my
duty under the constitution, as
president of the senate, to open the
certificates of election of the several
states of the Union, in the presence
of the two houses, and 1 now pro
ceed to discharge that duty.
The tollers Messrs. Thurnian and
Hamlin, on the part of the senate,
and Messrs. House and Crawley, on
the part of the house having taken
their places at the clerk's desk," Mr.
Wheeler said : 1 open the package
purporting to bo the certificate of
election of the state of Alabama,
and hand the certificate to be re
ported. The certificate having been
read very slowly by Senator Hani
lira, and having shown that the
electors of he state of Alabama had
cast the ten votes of the state for
Win field S. Hancock for president
and 10 vote3 for William II. English
for vice president, Mr. Wheeler said :
'The vote of the state of Alabama
having been recoiled by the tellers.
I open and hand to them the cer
tificate of election of the state of Ar
kansas, The six votes of the state of Ar
kansas huving leen recorded for
W. S. Hancock for president and
W. H. English for vies president, on
motio.i of Ml. Reagan, the reading
ot the merely formal jortions of the
certificates was dispensed with.
Tlie certificate from California
showed that live of the six votes of
that state Lad been cat for Han
cock and Engl i-li find one for Gar
field and Arthur.
The three votes of Colorado were
re corded for Garfield and Artur.
The three votes of the state of
Delaware were recorded for Gar
fit hi and Arthur.
The . foui veit.tj iif Lu state of
Florida were rce-onted fur Ifaneock
and English
The nest certificate handed to the
tellers was that from the state of
Georgia, and it was read, by Mr.
Crowh'V, the reading in full being
demanded bv Mr. Springer. The cer
tificate &iu3, that on the 8th of De-
cembcr, 18S0, the eleven votes of
Georgia were cast for lancoek and
English.
Mr. Wheeler then said; It ap
pjurinj' from the certi.loute just road
that the vote of Georgia was cast on
a day other than that fixed for cast
ing such votes by act of congress in
pursuance of the constitution of the
United States, the result of this cer
tificate will not be recorded until,
in the language of the concurrent
resolution under which this count
proceeds, it will appear whether the
counting or omitting to count such
votes will change the result of the
election.
The votes of the remainder of the
states were then recorded without
objection. The tellers proceeded to
foot up the votes cact for prcsidpnt
and vice president. Senator T'hur
man then said : "The tellers report
that whole the number of electors
appointed to vote for president and
vice president cf the United States
was of which a majority is 185.
Were the votes of the electors for
the Stato of Georgia cast on the
second Wednesday of Decem
ber, 1380, being the eighth day
of said month, to be counted, the re
sult would be: For James A Gar
fiehl, of the state of Ohio, for presi
dent of the United States, 214 votes,
and for Winfield S. Hancock, of
Pennsylvania, for president of the)
Uniteel States, 155 votes. If not
counted, the result would be: For
James A. Garfield for president of
the United States, 214 votes, and for
Vviniields Hancock for president
of the United .Stales, 144 votps. Tn
either event James A. Garfield has
recelvod a majority of the votes of
the wholo number of elector ap
pointed." Senator Thnrman made a similar
statement relative to tlie vote for
vice president.
Tlicjofiirn," eSid Mr. Wliee-ler. i

of tho state of Ohio, bavins re

The senate then returned to their
id-umbers,
Arte the senate had loft, the
climber and after ordor had been
restored, Mr. House presentetlto the
house, tho report of the tellers, slim
ed by Senators Ilamlin, and Thur-

Mr. Crowley then offered a resolu

of tho two houses and counted
by tlie tellers on tho part of

ern peep!e, he said, had gone into
the war with their eyes open and
had staked all upori the issue and
lost.
Mr Conger said : If it be true that
the gentleman did represent the
Southern people, then let their
representatives collect express wa
gons and wheelbarrows, go to the
committee room on war claims and
cart away the thousands of papers
filed there awaHing the action oi the
Hoti3e to the- tune of "Carry me

Goode's book of nature revealed a
beautiful world, and Mr, GooetVs

it were believed, relieve the hearts
of millions of people of the Northern
States from a fear of future action

be met with frowning brow and the
silence of elispair.
The will of the people was form
ally ratified by Congress yesterday
anil Garfield and Arthur '-oHicialh'"'"
declared elected.
The back-down from the position
early assumed by the majority to
count under the Morgan joint rule
or no count at all, while it brought
peace and pleasantness to the cere
mony de-trae'ted largely from its in
terest, and stripped it of much of its
attractiveness,
Nevertheless it was an e vent of
sufficient consequence to attract to
tiie Capitol a crowd of sightseers
much larger than that which daily
congregates to listen to the unintc-l-igibie
roar of the animals of tlie
House side or subjects itself to the
soothing soporific influence of the
solemn birds of night, whose hooting
are hourly heard in the aviary on
the Senate side.
It was a promiscuous throng, the
ladies, being in tho majority. As
early as ten oVleck the crowds be
gan to arrive, many in carriages and
hundreds a foot. Those favored
with of admission experienced
no trouble in reaching and entering
the galleries up to the time when
he 'um of the seating capacity in
the ititrved space wa completed.
Alter that there was trouble and
the doorkeepers hail their Lambs
full 1 can assure yeu. In the public
gallery some of the seats were taken
as early a3 S o'clock and by 12
o'clock a jam was no name for it.
The count was all the talk among
j the people and everyone wondered
what was. going to be tlor.e abuut the
vote ol Georgia,
It was five minutes titer twelve
o'clock when tho Scrgount-at-nrms
of tho House announced "The
Vice President anel Senate of the
United States." The senatorial pro
cession marched slowly up the centre
aisle to the seats assigneel to them,
the members of the house remaining
standing as it passed. The Senate
was preoeeded bv Scrgeant-at-arnis
Bright. . Vice President Wheeler
and Secretary Burch were locked
arm-in arm, and were followed by
Senators Hamlin and Thurman, the
tellers on the part of the Senate.
The mahogany boxes containing
the electoral votes were carried by
the repcrable Isaac Bassett, who
has performed this scrvico foi? more
than a quarter of a century, and
wero guarded by four special po
licemen. Then followed the body
of Senators in pairs. Neither Sena
tor GonUing nor Senator Blaino ar
rived jn the House with tho other
members of the Son.itc. Tho ab
sence of the latter was particularly
noticed, and it was stated that noth
ing other than important business
or temporary absence from the
city couhl have prevented his pres
ence on this occasion. The non-appearance
of Mr. Conkling with the
Ovhet stnalc created no surprise;
indeed, it was generally expected.
There were predictions in every
part of tho gallery that the New
York Senator would not be absent
long, and that he woulel certainly
intake bij apearane ylicn all Vfcpc
seated, and' after the pwocdings in
cident to the count were fully under
way. Those who were of this opin
ion were not deceived. A Pout
twenty minutes after 12, while the
certificate of the State of Arkansas
was being read, the commanding
form of Seriator Conk'ins was no-.la-
pd at tne inam entrance, lie stooel
there for a minute, towering over
tne head of the crowd gathered at
the door. Presently one of the as
sistant eloorkeepers came forwarel to
receive him, and. under his escort
the Senator slowly anel solemnly
walkeel up the aisle, stopping now
and then to exchange sainiions Ayith
some favorite member. Although'
he came unannounced his coining
prwited quite a ripple of excitement
in the galleries. Upon reaching the
area in front of the speaker, ho stood
for a moment until a reel morecco
chair was brought hiin from the re
tiring room. He sat down slowly
and at once entered into a pleasant
pqnyeraation iti fitnair,r4 nyts U'rcsaeit in a ncv suit of gray, rusii
and Cockr-ell, whose ucata were im- cd out into the aisle nearc.it )us seat
mediately behind him. On his and demanded that the report be
right were Senators Saunders and. recommitted. lie was dramatic and
Baynard, and to his loft, and some' hostile as usual, ami intimated that
Distance from him, was Alexander
H. Stephens. Mr. Conkling spoke
with Mr. Saunders, but exchanged
no words with Mr, Bayard. Alex
ander H. atcplicna remained in the
House until tlie vote of Georgia
was reached, and when it was net
asiela by the Vioe President until
the conedusion of the count, the car
riage containing his fragile lioely
quickly departed. This incident at
traclexl a great deal of attention, and
it was commented on that his hur-
i:
'rjeel exit was iue q dissatisfaction
at the tact that the vote of his htate
had been laid aside. He did not re
enter t,he IIou.se tlqrinjj the session
of the convention;
HQ'.V THE COl'-Vr:je! WAS DONE,
Vioo President Wheeler, in pro-
n .i . . .
siding officer of the convention, oc- j
cupied the Speaker's chair. Sneakor ;
Randall occupying a soat on his
loft, Senators Hamlin and Thurman
and Messrs, House and Crowley took
their places at the clerk's desk, with
tally sheets before them, to record
the vole of each slate art announced.
After the convention had been call
ed to order by the Vice President,
and its object explained, the utates
were called in their alphabetical
order, commencing with Alabama,
when the proceedings of tho electo
ral college of the respective states
were read, together with tho certifi
cate of the governor of each State
appended t it. Tlie tellers took
their turns in the reading of the dev
ilments. Senator Hamlin reading
that of tho State ef Alabama. Tlie
reading of the elociii.T-iits of each
of tlie two States of Alabama and
ArJ-ansa occupied nearly fifteen
minutes. As the paper-3 from Cali
fornia were about to 1m re-ad, .Mr
Reagan, of Texas, moved that the
reading of the various papers from
each Htate be dispensed with, and
that tho tellers read only the certifi
cate of tlie governor and secretary
of state from each state, and exam
ine the papers, so as to satisfy them
selves that they were in proper form.
Tlie motion was agreed to, and sav
ed much time. The tellers, except
Mr. Thurman, read only the gov
ernor's certificates; but when his
turn came, he rca 1 through all the
papers accompanying the certifi
cate. After the vote of Georgia was
read (the reading of the certificates
in full being elcmandod b' Mr.
Springer), the Vice President said :
-lt appearing from tho certificate
just read that the vote of the slate
of Georgia was cast on a day other
than that fixed forcastingsuch votes
by act of Congress, in pursuance of
the Constitution of the I nited States,
the result of the certificate will not
be recorded until, in the language
of the concurrent re-solution under
which this count proceeds it appears
whether the counting or omitting to
count such votes will change the re
sult of the election."
The count thn went on without
interruption to the end, the last cer
tificate, read being tit.it of the state
of Wisconsin.
UAXMIIAL HAMLIN'S .'IIVIV; MOMENT
The tellers then proceeded to add
the vote. TI 'n wr.s a trying and ex
asp; rating w r i to Senator Hanni
bil Hamlin. Tiie addition on the
tellers' sheet kept by him confusetl
him very much, and after his figures
had all been footed up they gave a
Hancock niajeirity of thirty electoral
votes. He saw that something must
be wrong,-and went from one teller
to another to see where his miscount
had occurred. Senator Thurman
and Mr. Crowtey came to his assist
ance, ami they found that, not being
an expert in figure?, the Senior
Senator from Maine had counted
Vermont and other Republican
states for Hanock. The error was
remedied, and another tally sheet
was substituted.
ANNOrNClN":. TltC RESULT.
During the reading of the certifi
cates conversation in the hall was
general. As soon, however, as Sen
ator Thurman arose to p.fmtuacc
the result of the count, every voie-e
was hushed, and the deep silence
was not broken from that t::r:e until
tho dissolution of the convention.
Mr. Thurman said : "Tiie tellers re
port that the whole number of elect
ors appointeel to vote for President
of the United States was 4(50, of
which a majority is 1S5. Were the
votes of the electors for the State of
Georgia ci"st on the sfcoiul Wednes
day of December, 1S80, counted, the
result would be : For James A. Gar
field, of the State of Ohio, for Presi
dent of tho United States, 214 votes;
for Winfield Scott Hancock, of
Pennsylvania, for Presietent of the
Uniteel Stales, 155 vetes. If not
counted, the result would be. For
James A. Garfield, for President of
the Uniteel Stated, 2H votes, and for
Winflehl Scott Hancock, for Presi
dent of the Uniteel States, 114 votes.
In either event, James A. Garfield
has rece ived a majority of the votes
of the wholo number of electors ap
pointed." Mr. Thurman made a
similar statement in regard to the
vote for Vice President, the only
change being in the names.
TUP Yli'R rr.CHIfKVT3 pKVK.vno.
Vice President Wheeler at once
made the following declaration :
"Wherefore I do declare that
.James A- Garficle, of the Stato of
Ohio, haying received a majority of
the votes of the whole number of
electors appointed, is duly elected
I'rcs'elent of the United Sates for
four years, commencing on the 4th
of March, 1881. And I do further
declare that Chester A. Arthur, of
the State of New York, having re
ceived a majority of the whole num
ber of electors appointed, is duly
elcc-ted Vice. iTesiuent of the United
State for four years, commencing on
the 4th of March 1881."
The announcement was rece ived
with applause on the Republican
side, anel in the galleries, f h- con
Vpntian then dissolved, after being
in S3.-sio:i one hour and forty min
utes, and .1 sencral stampede follow
ed. Joe Blackburn and Mr. Fryc, of
Maine, had a tilt in the House right
after the electoral count, and again
the lover cf a $cris.a;h.n vripiessed
the laying of the foundation fr an
cthtr duel, ;;nd again saw it '-uietly
swo'it away.
Mr. Frye succeeded in tcttingaside
the river ami harbor appropriation
bills and asked consideration of a
report from the committee on rule-?,
concerning a Jscheme to expedite
private business on tho c,uk".-id.ii
i'lie !ehu wars to devote ar. hour each
elay during the rest of Uie session to
private hills, the Ktato eUIegritions
0 be called In alphabetical order
and oaoh member to be privileged
to call up any bill, provided five
members do not object. Mr .Frye
explained the proposition, and was I
about to
add bis ncronal r.i.ir!..n
Ins te merits v.lieii Hrigadier Joe.
Mr. Frye was acting without author
ity. This Mr. Frye denied. "Then,
does the gentlernan mean tq qi;es.-'
ticn rr.y efaclty ?" thundered the
lCentu'ckjan, placing himself in the
attitude of a pugilist." I do if you
tana by your ajiogatlon," was tfic
prompt and firm reply ; and then
they rushed toward the opening in
front of the Speaker's desk as though
anxious to ring each other's necks.
Members and people in the galleries
sprang to their feet and a ae-ene was
(iippaicntly inevitable ; but the gen
tlemen paused when about ton feet
apart, and friends gathered around
them, An explanation followed,
showing that tho committee had m
etrncted Mr. Frye to make the re-j
jiort during the Brigadiers' absence,
thong!) he was sent for at tho time
and it was reported that he' coqld
nowhere be found. Mr. Blackburn
;pcriited in his efforts to defeat the
1 committee, however, and attempted
' to vote the motion te pass the report
' down. In doing so, ho called for
'tellers, which gave Speaker Randall
a chance t ingeniously settle the
war by appointing tho belligerents
as tellers and causing them to xhake
hand. over the bloody chasm. Thi.-s
was greeted with laughter, and,
though the report was adopted there
w:ui iio farther indication of trouble
on either side. The adoption of the
report is hailed with general satis
faction among the member of the
House, as it will enable theuito
dispose of many private measures
