votes by the general assembly bad had not been beeh strictly complied with in this reh rei respect hect that there were less than a quorum of senators present when the canvass was made the th provision of the constitution upon the subject is this the returns of every ejection election shall be sealed up and tran transmitted emitted by the proper returning officer to the segre secretary
