"I was just going to come to that. The eertificate goes further than it need. Iu the firest place. it goes on to state that the two houses met separately and voted on the first day. and that the vote was spread on the record. and thenBoth houses of the said general assembly voted for a Scotar of the State of Alabama. to represent t e said State of Albsama in thi Congressof the Unitd States. which said vote was spread upon tle journals of each hone. and said oto having NAME_1 compared and conted be the general assembly of th State of Alabani in conveliiion assembled. on Wednesday. the 4th slay of Decciber. allo Dominil iS72. at twelve Oclock meridian. it was ascertainel and dechareit b saul convention of tice general assembly of the State of Alacma. that NAME_2. having received a majority of all the vates in bath toses. was duly 0leotodIf the word .4 both" there was changed to " each" there would be no question about it that there was an election. on the first day. but taking the word 11 both" there as evidently used in the sense of each." it mcaus that he received a majority of all the votes in each house. The word "both" is evidently used in that sense. and it requires a very sharp criticism to make it read anything else. But now read onwas duly elected Senator. Now. I take it for granted that my friends criticism is correct. that the word "both" does not mean each." that he simply had a enajority of all the votes. counting them in any body. If you treat this as a certificate of election on the second day. in joint convention. it is unquestionably good. and shows more votes than are necessary. because it shows that Mr. NAME_3 had a majority of the votes of both houses in joint convention on the second day. So. take it either way. the certificate is perfect. Mr. Presidest. this is all I have to say."
