COUNTING THE ELEcTonAu IHTES.
The Mode to be adopted for electing
the President and Vice Preiident of the
United States caused much considera
tion in the Convention that formed the
Constitution. It was changed no leq
than tour times before fiaal adoption by
the Convention. and the Constitution
Heel' has since '14etil amended in that
particular; though even so able a jurist
is Judge Story expresses :a doubt
whether.the atnendinetit is very impor
tant. Under the plan prescribed by the
Constitutiou, the matter of counting the
Rlectoral votes returned from the set,.
eral States to the seat of Government
bas always been proceeded with in a
manner at once stately and ceremoni
ous. Generally it has been but a formal
observance of the constitutional pre
scription; but occasionully it, has been
a matter of infinite consequence.
may soon become such once more. 1Ve
therefore propose to present, in a eon.
densed form, the !node heretofore pur
sued in counting the Electoral vote and
declaring the result as required by the
Constitution.
The time now fixed for this act is on
the second Weduesday of February.
This time that day will fail on the 14111
of the,month, St. Valentine's Day. At
the first organization of the Government
under the Constitution this event oc
eurred on the fith of April, 17S9. The
gravity of the evasion lu the minds el
the framers of:the Constitution is indi
cated by the careful and precise manner
in which they provided tor its observ
ants), in order to set the new machinery
of government properly into operation.
Tbe Constitution, having been duly
engrossed, was approved by the Con.
vention for signature, and was signed
by the members on the 17th of Septem
ber, 1787. On'the same day the Conven
tion, before final adjouriunent, adopted
an Address and two resolutions, which
are found at large in the "Madison Pa.
perm." The second of tbese resotutions
directed, with great particularity, how
the counting of the fir() Electoral vote
should be conducted. Atter directing
the manner of transmitting the returns
to the then "Secretary of Congress," the
resolution nye: "That tbe Senators and
Representatives should convene at tile
time and place assigned; that the Sena.
tors should appoint a President of the
Senate,lor the sole purpose of receiving,
opening 'and counting the votes for
President." This resolution was signeit
by Washington as President ot the Con
, vention, and attested by Wm. Jackson,
its Secretary.
Accordingly, a quorum of tbe newly
elected Senators having' assembled, on
the dth of April, 1779, upon their creden
tials being filed, this record of their pro
.: eeedings was made: "The Senate pro
ceeded by ballot, to the choice ot a Presi
, tient, for the sole purpose of opening
' and counting the votes for President of
the United States." John Landon, one
of the members of the Convention that
ft amed the Censtitution, was chmien the

President of the Senate for that "d0I0
perpose." ,
Upon this boil); done, the Senate ."or
dered" that the ilouep of Representa
t:vos be informed thereof, and that the
"Senate is now ready, in the Senate
Chamber, to proceed, in the presence of
the !louse, to discharge th tt duty, and
that the Senate have appointed one of
their members to sit at the Clerk's table
to make a list of the votes as they obeli
be declared, submitting it to the wisdom
of the House to appelut oae or more of
their menthers for a like purpose."
But the "wisdom of the House"
deemieg Ruch appointment unnecessary,
Mr. Madison, then a member of the
Rouse, addressing the Senate, said:
"Mr. President: I am directed by the
House of Representatives to inform the
Senate that the Rouse have agreed that
the notifications of the election of the
President and Vice President of the
Uaited States 01011111 be made by such
persone, and in such manner, as the
Senate shall bo pleased to tlireet."
'rho two Rouses convened, the Presi
dent of the Senate received, opened and
counted the votes in the presence of the
Senate and Douse of Represeutatives,
"whereby it appeared that George
Washington was unanimously elected
President of the United States of Amer
ica;" all of which was minutely set, !oral
In a special certificate prepared by the
Seattle and signed and sealed by its
President, John Langdon. And thus
was completed the first election of the
first President of the ,United States.
And in all this the members of the two
Rouses of Congress were treated as be
lig, and claimed to be, no more than offi
cial witnesses to the official act per
formed by the officer designated 'here
unto. And all tills being done by men
many of whom had assieted in fruming
the Constitution which they were now
putting into operation, it could scarcely
be presumed that they did not them
selves comprehend the meaning of their
own words used in'the provisieus of the
tonstitution on this sub.) wt.
Tito next count of the Electoral vote
occurred February 13, i703, at which
thue John Adame, as Vice Presidont,
was President of the Senate, and as such
presided at the count, although it thus
devolved on hint to declare himself. eleet
ed Vice President. That count was con
ducted uuder this rule:"that one per
sou shall be appointed a teller on the
port of the Senate, to make a list of the
votes as they shall be declared; teat the
result shall be delivered to the Presi
dent of the Senate, who shall announce
the state of the vote and the persons
elected to the two Rouses assembled as
aforeeald, which shall be deemed a dee
titration of the pereone elected Presi
dent and Vice President, and together
with a List of the votes, be entered on
the knirnals of the two houses."
Tuie rule was the worX of Rufue
King,one of the framers of the Consti
union, and then a Senator from New
York; and again the Two Houses as
sembled On notification and remained
as witnesses of the official act, of tile
Presideut of the Senate without In any
other manner participating in the
transaction. And again George Wash
ington was declared elected President,
and Joint Adams declared himself
elected Vice Preeidente
furthermore hapatened that at the
third count of the Electoral vote, in
1797, Joint Adams, as President of the
Senate, was again require,' to preside
at the count, and this time dociared
himself eiected Presideut of the United
States. Thie was done with the unani
mous approval of both Houses ot Con
gress, tee act being deemed purely
functional and ministerial.
The tourth countilig of the Electoral
VOte, in Ititi,was attended with extreme
excitement. It Was the crisis of the
leng contest between Aaron Burr and
Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson, being
Vice President, was President of the
Senate, aud therefore must preside at
the count of the vete, although he was
one ol the two conteeting candidates for
the Presideucy.
But no attemptwas made by Congress
iii any Manner. interfere With thiti '
situly. They rementhered the words of
Cuarles Pinekney,oue of the mentbere of
the convention teat trained the Consti
tution, uttered just betore, that--"Po
give to Congress, even when assembled!
in eonvention, a right to reject, or admit '
the Eleetoral votes ot the States, would
have been so gross and dangerous ail ab
surdity as the trainers of tae Coustitu
Lion ccultunever have been guilty of."
But in this instance Jetrereon could not
declare himself elected Presitteut. The
vote between himself and Burr Was a
tie. Thouga the vote of each was a Ina
j,ority oi tue Electoral votes, yet the ma
jority of each Was exactly equal. So tbe
election went to the Ileuse of itopre
sentatives, where, after seVen days el
balloting Jettereon was elected Prest
dent and Burr became the Vice nest
dent. It Wa8 directly after tate critical
dielculty in the election teat, the Con
stitution was amended in this regard.
The counts of the Electoral vutee of
the succeeding electione pursued the'
satne couree of precedent till 1'117, when
Slouroe was elected. In that instauce
an event occurred that steads first ot
its kind as a precedent. While the
count was in progress, a member of the
House .from .iltew York, named Taylor,
arose and addressed the Speaker ot tue
tiouee9 who by coUrtesy was seated at
the lett hand of the President ot the
Senate, objectiug to the vete ot Indiana
tieing received on the ground that she
was not a State tu the Union, that State
having been adinitTed into the Uniun ia
1919. as Colorado ilas noW in 1S7d, dur
ing the Presideutial canvass. The
Speaker of the House, Belay Clay,
promptly called Mr. Taylor Le order,
and 'Weaned him that witile so assem
h.ed, to be present at the ecanting of
the Electeral vtotee, they couid transact
no busiuess not required by the Consti
Winn'. As Mr. Taylor insisted, tee
Senate retired in order that the House
tnight cousult. On conferring, the
ii01160, almost. unan mously, resolved to
indelinitely pootpone" Mr. Taylor's
motiou. Tile enalto theretipon re
turned, the collut prOCeeded, Lae Vote
of Indiana was included, and the result
declared by the President el the &mate
in the usual manner.
The next count, in 31onroe's sec
' ond electien, was compti,:ated by the
troubles of the litisSotirt compromise
citiestionS, and the admission of that
State into the Union. On this OCCa31011
1;01kgre09 passed a joint rule en the sub
ject anticipation of raleing the Ills
eouri question; whereby it was prOVided
that, it any objeetiou was ritieed, the
President of the Senate should declare

COOL AS A CLICULIZER.
If there is any man in this world whom
I admire. it is my cousin, binipson
Plumper, of New York.
But Cousin Situ. never knew what it
was to be bashful. Alas! how different
it id with me.
AL the age of thirty I still remained a
bachelor. bail never looked but one
woman in tile lace in my life, and tuat
was my mother.
illeantnne my cousin, who was but
twenty-live, Itad been engaged in at
least a score of flirtations, and had
gained an enviable reputation among tile
lair sex.
"It id of no use," I said. "I know I
can never gain the courage to ask a
woillan to tuirry me. And even if I did
I could not survive the wedding eere
mony." I was walking down the main street of
Riggleuy at tue time these thflughts
were passing Virougli my brain. It was
a cold day in January anti I paid little
attention to the passengers upon the
street or the course was taking. Sud
tienly I found myself close to a woman
anti We collided. tier nose was within
three inches of mine! What an awful
proxianty I I blushed to the roots of iny
hair.
Iteg pardon, miss,"I stammered.
oh was my latilt, tar; I aid not notice

volce as eweet as four nightingales.
I could say notultig in reply, atilt It she

cried.

"Yes; I wet her upon the street to

So told her' about our meotinir.

But that will be the ead fit, Angus

Aly mother smiled. and so 'our waver
sation ended. 01 course she knew now
iL would be; but I had luwardly made
some very strong resolves, and I meant
to carry them eat.
For weeks atter that I haunted tbe
street, hoping to get just one glance at
heautitut woman, but r ittiout sue
cess; aud so at last. in a tit of despera
tion, 'accepted tut Invitatiou to attends

laid attend the party. By a series lei

At last she turued from the piano. I
telt that her eyes were .upon me. aud tile
warm bituihes mantled this sunny brow.
I was mmiitating whether it would not be
best tor me to make eite rush tor the
door; when heard Mrs. Swingletou's
voice.
"Mr. Tarbox," site began "I wish to

sprang to my feet. What I did do, I
knew 11111181, (10 (1111Clily Casting a hur
ried glance at Ihiss GogglePs beautiful

that believed I had ever made in my

"I think we have mot before, Mr. Tar

"Yes," I stammered, at the saine time ,
advancing to take her 1111111.1, 11.1t as my
ili luck would have it, my loot caught iu
a lady's crinoline. aud fell lute Miss
Utigglet's arms.
"rale reminds me of our first Meet
ing," she said, laughing.
Unlucky words! Withou-, heeding my
entanglement I sprang for tile door, anti
fell in a beep under the table. There
was a suppressed titter around the
room. 3liss Croadel giggled melliflu
ously. I shut my eyes tight, and rollod
out, ol the door. Seizing my bat anti
coat, I rushed out of Lite kende aud hut..
vied home.
"My usual luck, mother," I cried, as 1
entered the house.
: I did not slop for words of console
,Ition, but went immediately to my rootn.
full half an hour I sat, considering
my situation. "0, hol I have it now.
send for Cousin Situ Plumper. He'll
make short work of it for me."
I sat down at once and wrote to my
cousin, telling itim to come nninediately
and then, in a very hopelui condition,
retired tor the night. Three days after
that Sim arrived. lie came just lu time
tor dinner, and after that, was discussed
we repaired to my apartments.
"Weil, what's up now?" asked Sim,
throwing himself upon the lounge.
"My clear Sim," said, blushing, "1
ant in love."
Plumper whistled.
".1),m't say sol"
"Fact!'
"Weil, what next P"
"I want you to hell) me."
".Nly deat"faroox,1; said he, "if there
is auy way in which 1 eau serve you, I
IntmL Intl WY to do so."
"I knew yen would, Plumper."
"But what can
"Do? Wily, my courting, of course."
"Ha, hal Well, that is good. Dd your
courting! Who will do iny courting
mdantinie?"
"Do tuat yourself."
"Aa I" Plumper inueed a moment.
"Do I uaderettiou you to say that in.iy
do your eourLing and my own at am
same time?"
Yee; wily net?"
"Very well.' I agree. Now who is
the lady upon whom ydu have set your
affections?"
"Mise matilda Gogglei."
"nal G 4;001 Is elle as beautiful as
her name seems to warrant
"Beautiful as Vetillti I" exclaimed.
"But you will see her, anti that will be
better than any descripitiou that I can
give you."
So it was settled. That same day
Plumper called upon his triend, Miss
Vickide, and togetker they alma upou
Mise Uoggiel. Wilkie he returned I was
walking tue floor WWI illipallOUL strides.
"Wilat blICOUdti?" I asked, as he came
in.
,Good. I've gained a footing."
"Did you mention mymaint
"Of couree. I told her that we were
cousins. Mat she le handsome, Tarbox."
"You are not smitten?" i asked in
some alarm.
i "0 no, not bad, I guess. Impressions
don't Sifilie very Lieavy on my heart," lie
replied, tonguing.
Next day he called again. I waited
anxiously for his return, but he seemed
in no hurry to leave such good company.
When he did come, Ms lace was ail
aglow.
Getting along swimmingly, Tarbox.
fold her ail your good qualities, my boy.
She asked way you didn't call wan me."
"Did she?"
"0 yes. Said she'd met you twice.
Placed a good deal of emphasis on the
word met. Said you seemed to be a very
aulive young man, and wondered 11 you
Iliad ever traveled with a circus."
I blushed violently, for I had never
told Plumper of our meeting.
"You. must call wita me, Lae next time
go Were."
"Nu, Plumper, not just yet; not till
you nave se.tied it."
"Very well," he answered; l(P11 do
the best I can for you, my dear Tarbox."
And so iny courting went on. Every
day I received fresh encouragement Irmo
Cousin Plumper. I was very anxious
that. an understanding ettould be reached
ae b0011 us pessible.
66.-11(0 Sim said. "Haste may spoil
all. ky motto Is to always keep cool.
Tberu's L1130 in' hurrying Weil mat

dawn upon her grauually, uoy. It
will be much more agreeable to her, I
assure you. You d011'L want to storm a
wonian s heart. Best way to take it is
by siege."
Ot uourse Cousin Sim knew best about
such matters, so let him have his own
way. A mouth passed away. I had
almost exhausted my patience, when
one day Plumper cattle fuelling into my
100111.
"I've proposed!"
"You wive?" I Cried. "And the au
swer?" becoming highly exulted.
"She aceepts."
f. was quite overcome with joy.
"0 my darling alattltia I" I cried, in
rapturous acceitts. "I shall at bust
clasp time in Leese arms! I snail feel
thy warm kisses on my lips! I shall

transpurts were so geeat that
I sank upon the lounge, completely ex
Iausted.
-Ted me all aboulit, Plumper. Tell
me all about it. Tell me lit her owa
words, just as they telt from her ruby.
Cousin Still took a seat beside me on
the lounge.
"Calm yourself, my boy. You seem
to be greatly agttated."
"Well, I ant c.t.ni now. Go on."
"Allem! itly dear Tarbox, when I

tt Superior quality ot work la.
Leather btiteltingl,
These IN C NV Machines embrace the eleinentaç
Jf the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine4
with impoltant add:tions and variations, and 1
liffor from other lock stitch Maciiiiies,in hav-:
ing a notary Ilook and Bobbin in part of '
shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto,
inatio under-tension; an improved form of
lek:d, and a better distribution of parts.
The points of superiority of these Machines
over other Lock-stitch Machines are very
MMUS and Important.
I. The Rotary 'look is far. easier, quieter
and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence protincea a more
regular and even stitch, and does ler MOM
work with less fatigue of the operator.
2. he notacy Hook system is more durable,
anti wears Lir ieis than the shuttle system, so
that the saving in thne and repairs soon equals
tile price of the machine.
1 The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping of the lower thread while the " take,
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock of the two threads while the machine is
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
The independent take-up, which draws up
the thread When toe needle is out of the mate
rial, prevents the chafing of the thread be.
tween the needle and the material, and per
mits the vseof so largo a thread that the
needle hole is entirely filled, making a limier
and more beautiful stitch and a water-tight
seam in water-proof goo ia, and, as the stitch
is drawn up, witen the feed is not acting, the
material is not " puckered," a point of especial
importance lit braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc.; the rolling circlet prevents the
friction of the thread; and allows it to flow
with unifoim twist and evenness, and the ten
sion or lock of the thread,' being properly ad
jested, the seam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate- '
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
5. The needle set by simply placing lit ni
position; the under thread is much more away
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
nmehine; the bobbin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, anti being much Larger requires filling
less often, and permits the nee ot a cord itt
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes. f
6. The range of work with these machines Is
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from tho lightest gauze to the beav
jest leather. with silk, linen or cotton thread.
The parts of these machines are perfectly
interchangeable, and their form, distribution,
balance and movement, secure not only the
greatest durability and speed, with the least
power. but also the greatest ease and con
venience of management, and their superior
system, devices, material and workmanship,
constitute them the culmination of Sewing
Mechanism and the standard Sewing Ma.)
chines of the world.
USES Oil THE MACHINES--Everr
kind of stitching, from that required in the
heaviest numufacturing to the lightest and
moat delicate possible, may be done to pet fec
lion with the No. 6 Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. 7 and the
No. 8 are more especially suited by reasoli of
size or form, some of the various kinds 07'
work to which each machine Is particularly
adapted may be classified as fellows:
FOR THE NO. 6 MACHINEBoots
and.. shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leatner trimmings for harness.

ing, all kinds of linen york, corsets, skirts, all
kinds of ornamental braiding, overalls, shoe
