Mr. Crane stated that the ohject of tho meeting was to secure the co-operation of those present with the Cltizons’ Assoclatlon In certain leglsin tive reforms. o then ealled on Mr. Bhorey to moke & fuller statement of what wos to bo undertaken, : MR, STIORRY thought the meeting an important one, and safd that'tf 1t was foliowed up it would lead to im- portant and desirable results.” Everybody kuew there had been defeets In the legislative work of the past, “The general revenus system of the Btate," said he, **Is protty well settled, and has worked With tolerable awcuracy, so that the reveuuces have ordinarily beon collected over the State withcertainty and efficlency. Thequestions which will come before our Representatives and Senntors arc such questions In relation to the revenue 8 perhaps will not exclte the attention of legislators gencrally. In other words, the Tegislatlon required must be Auch as s speclodly wanted to take the city of Chicago out of its very sorlous embarrsssinonts.

Cnteago, Dee, 16.—1t hos been assumed that Congress * may by jolnt rule, having the foree of law, preseribe regulutions governing the pro- ceedings [to count the Electoral votes] to meet thie contingency not provided for by the Constl- tution, of defective roturns, contested clectioneg, and returns from States whoso rights to vote at. all may be questioned.” Can this be ao, and yet proserve tho potwe: unimpalred vested by the Constitution in the President of the Senate, to open the certificates of the Eleetoral votes re- turned by the Btates, und the mundate of the Constitution that fthey shall be counted, and the person having a mujority of the votes of all the Electora shall be the Prosident? How ean the power, oxpressly vested Ju the Presldent of the Senate. by the Constitution, to open and vount thu Electoral votes, be controlled or abridged by any rule or Juw of Congress?

They are both constitu- }qunl rights, with which Congress cannot luter ere, “Tliere can be no Joint rules of Congress ap- plicable to such meotlng.

It would be a unstrous —power, & dangerous temptation, full of ° peri to_ the country, to allow elther or both Ilouses of Cungress to exclude enough Electoral votes to rug or transfer to iteell the right to elect the President, By thelr own act they could thus disfranchise ‘the Or%phi“}l:".lll: o Bloc substitute themselves iu the place ors they had excluded, It would be no miol dlngumul or indecent to constitute the Retur ng of an olection of ono set of opposing caudidatos, with power to exclude votos given for thelr opponanta, by dolmg which they could {nsure their own election. It is disparagiug to the foresight =nd Intelligenco of the framers of the Coustitution to supposo they ever jutended to plucd sa dangeroud a tempti- tlon before the House of Represcutatives, the power to unsuat the Electors, and, lo oeth cloct themeclves to Il the - ofiico from whicll they bad excluded them. It was to avoid such dangers and cousoquencea that the framers of the Constitution creatod & coustitutioual officer to uxeoute the duty of counting aud de- claring the Electoral votes, independent of the interfercnce of Congress, It Congress, ar either Houre, possessed the power to wila yotea, aud should do 8o on the most baseless pretence, In the most arbitrary nnd corrunt 2 that they might elect President « v not the chole of the people, here 15 no way [ which the members could be unished, 1t the President of the Sennte be- ng au officer deslenated by the Constitution to perform prescribed duties, i he should cor- ruptly or wmrull{ vivlute s dutles, e could be iinpeached and punished, “The Missourl case, which hasbeen referred to, cannot have the force of & precedent. It was nuthing tmore than an agreement or pledge that no attempt should bs made to claim any such power unless the counting of tho votes showld alter the result, leaving the question of the Hght of objection an open one, 1T, howeyer, it cottll be treated as a precedent, it is averruled by the Iater Wilsconsin cuse, when, os 1 recollect 1t, her Eleetoral yotes were not cast until alter the day prescribid by law for casting them, and were uevertheloss opened and counted by Mr. Mason, the President of the Scnato, though ob- fected to by amember of the tHousc. Mr. Mason refused to recognize the right of objection, and declared the dutles of the joint mecting exe- cnted and the session ended, and, followed by the whole Benate, left the llouse and its objec- tions behind. Many things may have been done or allowed by cuuirtesy unchallenged wlhich have no foundation in right. G, ——————— THE FAST MAIL. New Yonx, Der, 18.~There s a hitch in the new fast-mall arrangements. Postmnster James says the fault is uot with the Post-Office, but with the raflroad, which refuses to accept the wall after 8 o'clock fu the morning.
