Wasminarox, D. C., Jan. 2.—In the 8¢nate this morniug conslderation of uvfinished busi- neas, befog tho UL in regard to counting the ZElectoral vote, was resnnied. Mr. Conkiing, who was cutltled to the floor, not having arriv- ed, a recess was taken for ten minutes. When the Senate reassembled, Mr, Conkling not having yet arrived, Mr. Sargent took the floor, and spoke tn opposition to the bill. He said be had endeavored to bring his mind to sn assent of the provisionsof the bill, tlrst, becausc he destred o result might be worked out of the complicatlon satisfactory to the whole country, ard, sccond, beeause he desired that equal and exuct justice shall be done to every candldate at the late Presldentlal electlon, and to the partles which put those candidates forward; but he did not Leleve this bill would accomplish any such result, There were suspiclons of unfalrncss about the Litl, IT GATE IMPROPER FOWERS 4 to the tribunal which it created. It fairness was desired, the bill was very unfortunate, because the result to be accomplished by ft depended upon one mau to be sclected, and a8 yet un- known, The supportets of the bill had ade dressed thelr arguments to the two questions: First, was the bill constitational ! Sccond, was {t expedlent! Ho then argued It was never fn- tended Congress should count the Electoral vote ordiscriminate between the retarns. It the framers of the Constitution had Intended to lodsze any such power in Congress, a few words would have made it certain, It was not intend- ed to lodge such daugerous power In Congress, beeause the two Houses could themeelves creaty an exlgency n which the Constitution provided the House should eleet o Prestdent and the Sen- ate u Vice-Preatlent. He argucd that the power 1o count the Elcctoral vole was LODOLD IN TUE PRESIDENT OF THE BENATE. Mr. Sargent quoted at length from the Madl- son papers, and argued that the clause of the Coustitutfon in rerard to counting the Electoral vote, asut rst axreed npon by tie Conxtitu- tiouu) Conventlon, read: “The President of the Seuate shall opeu all the certificates, and the vote slull be theu aud there counted fu the presenice of the Senate and the House of Repre- sentatlves.” 1t was referred to the Committes o Reviston, snd eubsequently reparted to read, “Fho Prestdent of the Scuate ahally In presence of the Senate and House™ ol Revresentatives, oaen all the eertlficates, zud (he vote shail then mted.'! ‘The members of 1be Comsnittce fon nrgaaed that the elause us revired parted was substantially the sumne a8 that origlvally agreed upon by the Convention, MR, HAMLIN, Interrupting the Scuator frum_Caltfornta, read he return $fom the State of Georicla in 180, aud safd there was no certlticate accompanving 1t that the paper did not cantorm to tue Co etitution, and there was nothing upon its face to show that votes had been east for_anybody, yet the record showed it was counted atud no Ubjertion was made.

Tlo further opposed the bill hecanse it desraded the Bupreme Court by bringing the Judzes down to the tmuddy poal of palities, and capetled them to wude through it. Jig objected to the b Lecanso It nvited plitieal party, defents by ordingry forms, to clali another Nearinz, ‘The peaple would hot respect the dedision of the tribunai, which was wit mlnlyrcrcllcm. aml without ssention.

CONKLING. COSCLUSION OF THE NEW YORK BENATOR'S SPELCIL sHINGTON, D, €., Jan. 24.—~Mr. Coukling resumed his reanarks on the Electoral blll, comi- menced yesterday, Ater brlefly reviewlng hls points made then, be arzue:l that in no Instance lad the President of the Scnate attenpted to do anything in preslding over the Jolot Conven- tlon to count the Electoral vote except by com- mand of the two Mousca, 1lc then reterred to the return from Georgla, produced by Mr. Hamiln, und said the great Jefferson never silently or seorutly induced the tellers to count aoy vote which he did not velieve ta be right. Durlng the whole history of the Government until the adoption of the twenty-secoml foint rule, the two fouses Lad always PREARRANGED THE WHOLE PROCESS of counting the vote. Il then referred to the diffenlties attending the Presacntial contest n In), and safd not only men in both llonses ot Cungrese, but the leadera thronghout the country,bad their atten- tion rivited upon the subject of mansging just such questions as sume o these awalting solu- tion now, Mr. Conkling quoted frum the vill thew discussed, prescriving the mode of decid- fogz disputed clections I the oftives of President and _Vice-President, and sald in the House of Representatives the State wasy led and the bill munazed by Jobn Marshall just one year before Le occupled that high judement seat whenee over the whole world be” beeame renownl. Tt was be who argued as to the necessity of some ealutary mude ot settlement of yuestions like these to day. The Seuator from Oiilo (Shernan) vester- day errancously stated that the pending bilt provided for secret sessions of the Cuminittee, “This DI did not o so, but the bill of 1800 did a0 provide, But for taking up the thne of the semate_he would eudeavor to show the Sciator from Califorufa (Sargent) that our forcfathers thouglt IMPARTIALITY WAS GAINED by counterpoising nzainst cach other adverse bins.
