The NEXT ELECTION FOR PREsrDEsr-How are
The Electors to be appointed THE question has been
started as to how the electors for President be
apportioned among the several States at the cleo
1Ion for President which is to take place next fall
The Augusta (Me.) Age, argues that it should be
under the apportionment of 1910, and says:
The Constitution provides that each State shall
appoint in such manner as the Legislature thereof
may direct. number of electors equal to the whole
number of Senators and Representatives to which
ihe State may be entitled in the Congress In achdt
congress? In the neat Congress-the preceding
COMPRESSOR the present Congress Most clearly,
IN the Congress being at the time achen such electors
are so appointed The present Congress continues in
existence until the 4th of March, 1853 and on the
House of Representatives of the present Congress
will devolve the choice of President in case the peo
pie fail to elect'
A similar case occurred in 1892 when it was de-
clded that the electors should be apportoned among
the States under the census of 1880 We do not re-
member to have seen it stated whether any contro-
versy arose on the subject; but the electors were
chosen IN 1882 under the census of 1880.

that caught myself more than once looking around
for the bins and bottles. The first object saw was

He has still him the clothes and shoes which
he wore at the moment of his assassination. Of
course, his body is nothing but skeleton, covered
with dry flesh and skin, that features dis
cernble. The body is covered with what was once
white linen swathed around him, but the dust of
centuries has collected on him, and turned it to II
/ light brown color, and it almost pulverizes when
touched. The body is placed on narrow piece of
plank in sloping position and has been placed in
that position merely to put it out of the way The
folks in Lima do not think anything of the remains
of poor P1zarro; and dare say little money judi
ciously invested would procure for any curiosity
hunter the whole of the remains.
