SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.

A London paper of September sS says" The
Inhabitants of Deronpor formerly called Plymouth
Uock have been thrown into the greatest consterna
ton, by the appearance of contagious disease
mong the altihceIs in the Dock yard -" Within
The last fortnight several men, who had slightly
bruised accidentally cut themselves IN the pro-
gress of their work, have become alarmiugly i'll,
modification has ensued and seven shipwrights and
two sawyers have died. These melancholy events
were by many medical men, attributed to atmos
phercal Influence, but, to ascertain The probable
cause, DR.. Bell, an eminent surgeon, opened the
body of George Nico, shpwrBht, who had died
on the preceding day. 10 the course OF the disco
ton, he unfortunately happened to scratch one oil
his fingers, which passed unnotlced at the time
But on that afternoon he became alarmed, as on ex-
aiming the scratch he feared he had lmblded some
morbid matter Shortly afterwards he ie shiVer-
ing come on, and he was Immediately put to bed
and bcd. The best medical aid was administered,
and the most reid attention paid to his case but IN
spite of all the symptoms daily became worse aud
he died on the fourth day. 1t is feared something
in the nature of the plague has been retained
mongst the timber Of some old vessels recently
broken up"

1t is the opinion OF gentleman of the bar here
that the vote Of tins State, on the Presidential cleo
tion, is thrown away-on The ground that the meet
ling of the Legislature was not called by Procla-
nation Of the Governor. The words of the con.
stitution, cited to substantiate the opinion are
ART. III. Sec. 4. The general assembly shall
meet on the FIRST Tuesday Of January In every year,
unless sooner convened by the Governor.
ART. III. Sec. IL. lie the Governor may on
Extraordinary occasions covene the general assem-
bly,.
The constitution it is said gives no right to the
general assembly to meet THE stated annual and
adjourned meetings excepted) but on the call of
1.-THE Governor.
1t is further the opinion OF that gentleman, that
under the section Of the law OF 1900 which pro-
vides for the appointment OF electors by the legis
lature, plurality does elect.
The following is the section.
SEC. Q. lind be it enacted, That the electors to
be appointed at this present session OF the general
assembly, and allerward, shall be chosen by the
Joint ballot Of the senate and house of rep. esenta-
lives convened together for the purpose and that
if an equal division of ballots shall appear for any
TWO or more persons not being elected by lorlly
of votes, the speaker OF the senate shall have an
additional casting vote; and that In the speak
er OF the shall be one OF the persons oslloed
for, and equal in number OF votes 10 any other
person or persons, not being elected as aio' esaid
then the speaker OF the house of representatives
shall have such additional casting vote and in case
the speaker of the house of representatives shall
lbe also balloted for, and equal in number Of votes
TO any other person persons not being elected
las aforesaid then both houses shall proceed to bal
lot for a suitable person, who shall be member of
either house, as chairman, who shall have the said
additional casting vote. ibid.
