POPULAR VOTE AT FORMER ELEC-
'HInNC

For the sake of comparison, we annex the
popular vote at the four Presidential elections
next preceding the present. These returns
cannot pretend to the same degree of accuracy
as those of the election just held, but they are
near enough 10 the truth for general purposes.

PARDoN.-We learn that Governor Edwards has
pardoned the Aboltionst Work, who was senten-
ced to the penitentiary about three years SINCE for
assisting in the escape of negroes from Marion
county. His punishment was fixed at nine years,
There were two others, sentenced at the same time,
for the same offence, who will probably remain I'M
I'll the expiration of their time. In the case of
Work, il is stated that he has manifested a proper
conrition for his offence, and has wife and sever.

Polk over Clay, exclusive
of South Carolina, $3.50
A fair allowance for South Carolina would
be 90,000,-say 2O,660; which would make
Folks plurality over Clay, in the nation at
large, 10000; while at the same time he would
lack about 1000 of an absolute majority.
The whole number OF voies polled, excu-
sive Of South Carolina, is 2,70l ,979; which ex-
ceeds the number poed in 1910, by about $780,

In the Wing column we have included all
the votes except those for the regular Demo-
cratic candidate In 1928 the Wing votes
were all given To John q. Adams, and in 1910
10 Gen. Harrison. In 1882 they were divided
between Clay and Writ. South Carolina gave
no popular vote, and so it is unnecessary 10 in
quire into the politics of Mr. Floyd, to whom
the Electoral vote OF that State was given by
the Legislature. In 1886 the Wing vote was
divided, though not in equal proportions, be-
tween Harrison, White and Webster. South
Carolina on this occasion gave its vote to Mr.
Mangum, of the sold North'' State.

The Canal Toll Question.

During the last winter very eaIheS' c"H''''e!l'
has BEEN prosecuted between citizens oil hochss'ef
oc.,ort and Buffalo on one hand and those OF Us
,,,.go on ,fe other with regard 70 the Tolls charged
=, Nerchandi4e and Produce transported through
~. Erie Canal and the oswego Canal respectively.
:. ,rsssn, whatever is conveyed through The whole
length of Ere Canal pays tolls for leo miles West
vxard OF Syracuse, while whatever l. carried By
wsy of Oswego pays tolls for but 3 miles West
ward OF Syracuse. The consequence would PLAIN
ly seem 10 be that New-York has injured herself by
constructing the Oswego Canal-that said Canal
operates, shunpke fashion. to diminish the tolls on
her Ere Canal-and tha, the State IS impoverished
as Oswego is enriched. To Puf an end 10 this, the
Erie Canal interest has demanded an increase OF
the tolls on goods or products seat By way of Os-
wego to an equality with those charged on similar
articles sent By way OF Rochester. But Oswego
rejons that by tins the State would only inre her
self. as she would send down The ST Lawrence the
produce which low reaches New Y FORK vic Oswsgo,
and actually pays tolls for hall the length OF The
Enc Canal That is 10 say, By charging instead OF
%. 35 cents toll on barrel OF Flour brought down
via Oswe.o Che sarne as II 1t came by Locspori
and Rocheste,) she will be apt 10 deprive herself
Of any toll at all All these are grave consldera-
tons, to be duly weighed liy our legislators.
i seerss to US very clear case that the State ias
right TO protect It's own interest by discriminating
tolls taking care that it does really protect and MOI
damage them. For suppose that the present rates
Of tolls should send all the Western trade round by
Oswego. woad not the State be a serious leser'
and suppose, by discriminating moderately, the
bulk Of the trade could be won back 10 the Ere
Canal throughout and pay toll for the whole, would
not the Revenue be increased and the State benefit
ed Clearly yes.
We have heard suggestion onthis subject which
strikes us fagorably-viz; Let not the tolls be m
creased on the oswego route, but let the tolls by
wsy Of Buffalo on all merchandise going West OF
the State. or Produce coming thence, be reduced
10 the rates charged on both the oswego and Wei
land Canals Thus barrel of Flour noN pays %
cents ,utyv;a Rochester and 30 cents via Oswego.
TO which the Weland Canal adds cents. The
charge proposed would make the duty II transport
ed via Rochester 2S cents, whereby our State Trea-
sury would receive scents more than II sent via
Oswego. while. the tolls being equal, every Trans
porter would be at perfect liberty 10 choose his
route 1t strikes US that this would be an improve
ment on the present mode of paying PeopIe' 10 shun
