Mr. Morgan to-day called up in the Senate bis resolution declaritug explicitly that the | President of the Senate is not vested with the power under the Constitution to decide What electoral votes shall be counted or re- jected. Mr, Morgan briefly explained that the resolution was simply Intended to prescribe the power of the President of the Senate. Mr. Edmunds was opposed to making any half deciarauions. If the resolution had satd that the President of the Senate, the Senate itself, or the House of Representatives, or all Ubree of them together had not the power, under the Constitution, to count or decide the vote, he would say amen toit. He wasso thor- oughly democratic that he belleved the Ifberty and preservation of the nation depended large- ly bpon the rights conferred upon the states in. vis matter. He hoped the Senator from Ala- bema would not, at this time, press a vote on the resolution. Mr. Edmunds moved to lay the resolution on the table, which was rejected by a party vote. Mr. Blair then moved to refer to the jndi- elary committee, on which motion the discus- 8iOL Was continued. ‘The motion to referto the judictary commit- tee was voted down. Senator Hoar and others thought this resolution ought not to iaterfere with appropriations. Senator Conkling made a strong speech on the question, and the galleries fliled up rapldly. He sald the president of the Senate had no more power under the Constitution to make Ube count and decide the votes than the ser- geant-at-arms. The District in Congress.

Mr. Neal. of Onto, of the District committee, favors t etlon of the trlangu- lar space between 7th and Sch streets on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue. Postmaster Albger thinks that tuasmueh as the new Con- gressional Library butiding 1s to be located on udiclary Square, that the present City Hall building should be torn down anda datiding be erected on the sie to accommodate the couris and the post office. He does not think there would be ground tloor enough on the triangular space suggested by Mr. Neal. THE COMPROMISE WITH THE B. AND 0. RAILROAD COMPANY.
