Senator Lloyd submitted the following report from the Committee on Elections:

MR. PRESIDENT:

Your Committee to whom was referred the certificate of election of Henry Manistre, claiming to be the Senator elect for the 29th senatorial district of Missouri, beg leave to report that they have carefully considered the same, and find—

1st. That it appears from said certificate, herewith returned, that at the election on the second day of November, 1880, said Henry Manistre was duly elected Senator from said district.

2d. That said certificate further recites that said "Henry Manistre has not paid his State, school and city taxes within one year next preceding the day of his said election;" which statement is, in the judgment of your committee, one not required to be made, and one that can have no greater significance or force than the recital required by law in a case where no proper and sufficient tax collector's receipt has been produced.

3d. That said certificate is insufficient in not supplying the evidence required by law respecting the payment of taxes.

4th. That said Manistre did, in fact, pay a State and city tax in the city of St. Louis, in which said senatorial district is situate, on the first day of November, 1879, as appears from the receipt of the tax collector of said city, exhibited to us and hereto attached marked "A."

Your committee therefore conclude that in this case the payment of said "State and city" tax fulfills the requirements of the Constitution and statutes as to the kind of taxes to be paid; and state, as to time of payment, section six of article four of the Constitution is substantially complied with by the payment of such taxes on the first day of November, 1879, being within, barely within, one year next preceding the day of election, November second, 1880.

Wherefore your committee respectfully recommend that said Henry Manistre be permitted to quallify as Senator for said twentyninth senatorial district.

L. M. LLOYD, Chairman.
