It seems to be a debateable question under the con- stitution whether that officer has the power to declare the result and end | all controversy or whether he ts sim- ply acting in clerical capacity. This question was raised in ’76 dur - ing the Hayes and Tilder controver- sy, and Senator Edmonds, President of the Senate, at the recent counting of the electoral vote flatly refused to Evi- phe announce the result officially. dently there is # deficiency law in regard to this matter and in the electors! secoming constantly more complicated on count of the increase in) population system is | ac- as! but a thankiulness that so many o! } upon tons of arms and an mution, | comrades were permittet to passi, |. 3 ee t | aS beside their tullf equippment. | | safely dread carnage. and meet to-day in love an i teilow- ee i {ship under that grandest « that tion parade | rons that will part | pe i { ever waved over the home of the | on the jth proximo are a number of | brave and land of the free. eolored’ Deimocrucicliueand mile. | | ry companies vm Virg Mary- nd, South Carolina and 9 other} the State capital.
