THE WEER:
When we closed our article last week,
the House had taken no definite action
on the deciskm•cif the Cominission in the
Louisiana :case.:: Sub4Lequently they filed
theirprotest against it. The Senate having
voted to affirm the 8 to 7 decision; the
vote or Louisiana was counted for Hayes.
Tue Lay )ast, the convention reas
sembled and counted the • electoral . .votes,
'of Maine, Maryland, Massaclinsetts,and
I
then halted two hours overqn alleged in
eligible elector . in .Miehigan. Both h,ouses,
hoinever, decided quite unanimously that
he Was eligible, and Michigan was count
' ed: The count was then continned,with
Minnesota, Mississippi, , Missouri and Ne
braska, till Nevada was called, when ob
3ection was made to one of its electors
who held a 'United States office up'to the
day before he voted iiY the Electoral Col
lege, and then resigned by telegraph.. It
was charged that this Was not a lawful
resignation, told this vote of Nevada was
recommitted. like, the Michigan ease, for
the separate action under the,Electoral
act of the two houses.
Both houses having voted to count Ne
vada.; Oregon, the third grand battle field
of the count, was reached.
.The two sets
of certificates were opened, read, objected
to; and subtnitte.d to the commission for
ari.iument and the hearing of testimony.
For 'in this caseitegilmony touching the
fact of Mr. Watts, the digpited Elector,
having been a Postmaster at theme of
his election, Was introduced and that fact,
as also the fact- that: his accounts
with the Pepaituie . et were still ur.settled,
was establish( d, The Democrats had
•sonie reason to expect that the.decision
of - the Commission would; at the most,
admit only 2of the 3 electoral Votes of
.that st it,. as a' late decision 'of the SU-
Preme Court takes the ground that a
Postmaster only ceases to be such when
his accounts have retched a final settle
.
anent and he is r..leasedi from his obli
gations by the P. G. Department.
The decision of the ComtiaissiUn was as
usual in favor of the 3 Itepnblicah elect
ors, the Senate affirming end - the House
obi , ,cting, and the vote of Oregon was
announced as . three for Hayes and. Wheel
er. Next followed:the reading of the cer
teificates from the state. of Pennsylvania,
gWirig twenty-eight votes for Hayes and
Wheeler. ' Objection having been made
oil the ground that one of the electors
was a Centennial Commissioner the Sen.
ate withdrew and the Jiouse took a re
cess' until Monday at ko'clock.
In this State one of the - electors, Dan
iel J. Morrell was a Centennial Commiss
ioner but clid not atteud the meeting of
the-College, who filled the vacancy: - The
case' was presented to the House ;by
Stenger, of Chambersburg, who • re
,fered to the adjudicated case 'in Rhode
Island; where Oorliss, a Centennial Corn
initaionei, was one of the electers chosen
bf the people. declined the position
of 'lector under the clause in the Rhode
island statue, which says : '`lf any elect
, Ors lhosen as aforesaid shalt after their
said election, decline the said = office or
- shall be prevented,etc., the other electors
shall fill such 'vacancies." The .SUpreme
Court of Rhode Island held that tliis
statue did not authorize the other elect-
Ots to till Corliss' place ; on the ground
that 4 before any persorl cau decline under
this section he must first be elected,. and
no person can be elected who is ineligible,
or, in 'other words, incapable of being
elected.". And another sentence - puts this
- ruling still more express terms:. "We
' think," say the Court, e."commit3sioner 01
. 7% the United States Centennial _Commiss
,, ion holds an office of trust under the
United Stat and that he is therefore
disqualified for the offi(,e of "elector."--
' Tnst ruled COrliss out/ right there, and
the only way way to get offer it in Rhode
Island was to take advantage of another
statue, which is not
i on Pennsyliania's
bookOillOwing the Legislature, in grand
0 54414,tee, to fill a vacancy occasioned by
alaitire to elect the proper number of
electors by reason of a tie vote or 'N;)ther
w*," this word`'otherwise" being the
operating word. Now, in Pennsylvania
.the statue simply' provides : first, that
elector:3 shall be appointed by the people,
and then if any such elector die or fail to
attend, the other electors shall fill. The
point is then that Morrell was not "Bud?,
an elector." The. Supreme Court of
Rhode Island has ruled that. squarely,
and is.Pennsylvaniu has, no other statu e
to meet the case, and if she didn't exer
cite it, there has been a . failure to elect
(mein her Electoral College:
06 Monday, the Senate resumed its
seesion 'at ten - o'clock, and Mr. Kernan,
of 'New 'York, was elected by unanimous
e fill the, place of Mr; Thurman, on
' . 'theSlectoral Cfommission, who withdraws
account of illness.
Inrthe'afternoot 'the votes of Penn*.
iratii* and Rhode Island were counted for
-,;Th i yes and South, Carolina was reached,
iraitobjected, to'by the.Democrataon the

cost the county $646, while in the year 1876, tor distributing the same, cost the county $197.50;
and notwithstanding the above encouraging facts, we find that many of the'Assessors of the
county are charging exorbitant prices" for making the assessments; and especially the borotigh4

and would suggest to our. Commissioners that they use, every means in thew power to reduce the

the salary of their clerk we would recommend a still further reduction if practicable.
