Matt W. Ransom (Joseph C. Abbott was a claimant for this seat; the
Committee on Privileges and Elections reported February 28, 1872, that
Zebulon B. Vance had received "a majority of the whole number of votes
cast in each house," and Mr. Abbott received the next highest number of
votes; the next day Mr. Vance was declared duly elected. Mr. Abbott
rested his claim on what he assumed to be the legal result of the
conceded ineligibility of Mr. Vance, who was barred by the provisions of
the 14th Amendment; Mr. Vance made no claim to the seat; on February 5,
1872, credentials of Mr. Ransom were presented, certifying he had been
elected January 30, 1872, "to fill a vacancy existing by reason of the
resignation of Zebulon B. Vance"; April 23, 1872, the Senate declared by
resolution that Mr. Abbott had not been elected, and the day following
that Mr. Ransom was declared entitled to the seat; served from April 24,
1872) |
