! iy OF electoral votes. When, on the 9th OF
! February, 1925, the two houses of Congress
met in convention, in the hall of the house OF
Representatives, toopen, and count, and declare
| the electoral votes, it was found that Andrew
jackson had 90 votes. John Quincy Adams
~ votes William III. Crawford Al votes, and
! Henry Clay 81 votes. According to the re-
Iquirements of the constitution, the Senate then
withdrew and the House remained to ballot
for President until choice should be effected
4 The whole number of states was twcnty-four-
| The votes Of thirteen states were necessary for
a choice. At first ballot it was found that
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New York,
Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri
and Louisiana, thirteen states, had voted for
" John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts" +"
and he was accordingly elected President of
the United States for four years from the Ith
Of March 1925.
Il The time is approaching when justice will
be done to the administration of John Quincy
Adams. The passions ofthat day are already
fast subsiding, and the parties and combinations
that arose under the exciting influences of the
time have long since been dissolved and scatter
ed. The clear verdict of posterlty may almost
be heard, even now, in the formal acknow-
ledgment Of its merits by the people of the
country, in all its various sections. In the
relations he sustained To the members of his
Cabinet, in his communications to the two
houses, and in all his proceedings, there is a
uniform manifestation of wisdom, industry,
moderation and devoted patriotism. The great
effort of his administration was to mature, into
a permanent system, the application Of all the
superfuous revenue of the Union to internal
Improvement. This policy was first suggested
in resolution introduced by him. and adopted
by the Senate of the United States, in 1906,
and was fully unfolded in his first message 10
Congress in 1925. Ii will be the duty of the
philosophical historian of the country, half
century hence, to contrast the probable effects
upon the general prosperity which would have
been produced BY such system Of adnistra-
ton, regularly and comprchensvcly carried
out, during the intermediate time by the govern
mcnt Of the Union, with what will then be
seen to be the results Of the policy which has
prevailed.

Adams returned to his family mansion in

A DISTRESSING CAsE.-WC have mentioned
the burning Of the steamer" lallabushce, :"
on the Mississippi, on the night of the 18th of
January last, and the loss OF a number of pass
engcrs. Among the number were the Rev.
Henry B. Page and his two children. We
have letter before MS giving some particulars
of this painful event, from which we learn that
Mr.. Page was minister n the Methodist church
and had, few days previous 10 his DEATH been
stationed in the city of New Orleans, 10 which
place he was bound when the boat took fire,
with Mrs. Page and their two children, a son
and daughter. When the alarm was given
that the boat was on fire the family were in
their state rooms. They Immediately ran for
the after part Of the steamer, where they saw
a small boat that had been let down. Beforc
he could get either member of his family into
the boat II had been east of ard was making
for the shore. IL seems that he went 10 seek
some other way of escape and was suilocated 4,
with his two children who followed him Mrs.
Page, 'crlng no way TO escape the flames,
sprang into the water and sank. She soon
rose and WAS caught by the clerk of the boat,
who swan ashore with her Every thing sho
had was lost, husband, children, goods and
wearing apparel. The letter truly remarks
"Frends may sympathlze, but those loved ones,
an endcared husband, and those little children
that nestled in her bosom, are for ever gone"
