Looting down front the gallery upon the ample floor, watch- inr tho soldiers In their uniforms gliding through the danco with the bounty of Macon In their handsomest costumes, one was greeted with a brilliant scene. It was a happy occasion, and forms one of the most lm portent epochs In the history of an organization that for half a century has ever promptly responded to lie country's call, and has fought like heroes under the stars and stripes as wed as under the stars and bars.

The fnrnlshingof tho various compartments of tho Volunteers’ armory was determined by competitive bids. Messrs. Payne A Willing ham received tne contract for tne parlor suits, which are in crimson and old gold plush, fur nished In the Turkish style for the corner room, and plush curtains for the other room. The two rooms, forming a double parlor,are connected by folding doors. The cartH-ti and rugs wero famished by Mcsers. J. W. Rice A Co., and are certainly exquisite. The contract could not have been S laced In bands better qualified to ful- 1 it. In texture and pattern, the carpets are of the latest design, and the material of the best.

Blaine, of the Btate ot Maine, has received 182 votes for the same office; that Thomas A. Hendricks of the8tsteo( Indiana, has received 219 votes for the office of Vice- President of the United States; that John A. Logan, of tbe Btate ot Illinois, baa re- ceivea 182 votes for tbe same office. Wherefore I do declare that Grover Cleve land, of the State of New York, has re ceived a majority of the votes of the whole number of electors appointed u ther ap pear in the certificates read by the tellera, and so appears to bare been elected Presi dent of the United Btates for the four veers commencing on the 4tb day of March. 1885, and that Thomu A. Hendricks, of the Btate of Indians, hu received a ma jority ot the votes of the whole number of eleotors appointed u they appear in the certificates read by tha tel lers, and so appears to have been elected Vice-President of the United States for the four years commencing on the 4th day of March, 1885. nnd the President of the Senate makes this declaration only as a public statement in the presence of tbe two Houses of Congress of the contents ot the papers opened and rend on this occa sion, and not u possessing any authority of law to declare any legal conclusion whatever."

On ihe Home being caUed to order, Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, ofiered a resolution re citing the remit ot the joint convention of the two bouses, and declaring that it is the sense of the House that the cooatita- tion end laws have been duly executed, and that no further declaration of this fact is necessary. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, said that it seemed from the annonneament of the pn aiding officer of tbe joint convention ihattbecwai no declaration. Contrary IA all precedent, the Vice-President had simply di dared that it appeared from the coant made by the tellers that Grover Cleveland had received a certain number of votes, but had disclaimed any intention to make any official declaration of the remit of that vote. He preferred that Ihe matter should be referred to the judiciary committee, with loetrnctlons lo reporiBuch declarations as may be neces sary for the purpose of making known the result of tbe election. Tne Speaker pro tens —"Tho presiding -officer of thejolut convention,Jin making the announcement of tbe vote, announced tbe result that had been found, and simply added a disclaimer of any authority on his part, as presiding officer of the Senate or of the Joint convention, to meko any declaration at all."

The Speaker—'"The chair, acting as an officer representing th* Home in the joint convention, would her* made a protest if ■nr improper declaration by the presiding officer had been delivered.” Mr. Randall said that th* vote of th* tlaotorabad been announced, and tnat any ministerial procteoing waa not essential to tba main fact that Grover Cleveland been -elected.
