The "fate Wing PartY.n

We copy an interesting article this morningfrom
the London Examiner upon the result of the recent
Presidential election, and the pros: ects of, Political
parties in the future. The article speaks OF the
Wing party as being utterly extinguished; and in
this it only repeats language very current in the
United States. The fact that out OF: 2s6 electoral
votes, Gen. Scott received only 40, while Gen.
sight a pretty e~ffectual defeat of the Wing party,
and would lead a hasty observer to the conclusion
that Gen. Scott had no votes at all. But a scrutiny
Of the popular uotc will show q very different state
OF things. Gen. Scott received, in fact, more potes
than t0ere euer cast for a Wing candidate before.
The Wing party never received so large a popular
vote as at this last election. Gen. Scott received
1859 more votes than Gen. Taylor, 1900 more
than MIR. Polk, and 9S,612 more than Gen. Harri-
son. The aggregate vote cast at each of the last
as follows:

Who Can Vote on Monday?

For the benefit of many enquirers, we publish
below, the 9Th section of the city charter, prescrib-
ing the qualifications of voters in the charter cleo
tons. TIL amendment of last year does not refer
to, or interfere with the qualifications of voters,
which remain as heretofore. The new, or amend
ed charter, makes all uOters eligible to office, and
makes the Office elective:
"Sec. 8. At all elections which shall be held by
voters of said city for the corporate authorities
thereof, the following persons shall be entitled to
vote, viz: First. Every white male citizen of the
State, of the age of twenty-one years or upwards,
who, for at least one year, proceeding the election,
shall have been a house-keeper, or head of a fami-
ly in said city. Second. Every person qualified to
vote for members of the General Assembly of the
State, who shallhave been a resident of The said
city for at least one year proceeding the election;
and third: Every white male citizen ofthe State of
the age of twenty-one years or upwards, who shall
bethe bonatde owner of any freehold estate with in
%saidcity, of the value of at least five hun
dred dollars, prOUided Gtarays, that no person, al
though in other respects duly qualified, shall be
entitled to vote at any such election, if he shall
have failed to pay any tax whatsoever, lawfully as
cesSed or levied upon him for the benefit of said
CITY, during the year preceding the election"
1t will be thus seen that tn e right to vote is plain
lydefned.

CENTRAL OHIo Roam THRouoH To GAINESVILLE.
We are happy to announces, says the Columbus
Journal, that the Central Road, from Columbus to
GAINESVILLE, is now open. and the cars make regular
trips between the two points. Yesterday the first
train came through and landed its passengers at
the depot of the Cleveland and Columbus road.
At 23 p. m, the train started for GAINESVILLE with a
goodly number of passengers. The time now &C.
cupied is about three hours. The road is Just fin
ished, and the speed will be moderate and safe till
1t is properly settled, when it will be run as IA pidly
as any road in the State.
Our citizens were not looking for the train yes.
terday' and were somewhat taken by surprise. We
shall have more 10 say of this important consum-
nation in our next.

OtS1 .
Gen. Scott was not defeated, therefore, because
he had no votes, nor because the Wing vote had
fallen off; for it had very largely increased. But
the Democratic vote had increased still more, being
246,69S greater than was ever cast before, and 1884,
246 greater than was cast for Gen. Cass. Most OF
this increase came from the Free-Soil party, which
1ell Oil 1S6,SSO, nearly all of which was cast for the
democratic candidate in this canvass, as it had
been withdrawn from that party in 1S48. sL a
Another fact shown by this statement, has inter-
est as indicating the manner in which taking the
vote 6y States, instead of by general ballot, effects
the result. If the election had been had directly
oy a general vote of all the people. General Pierce
would have been elected by an absolute majority
otonly 57,74l-receiving 1856, 709 against ], $685.
96S, given for the other two candidates-his ma
Jorlty being thus not one fJtieth part of the aggre-
gate vote. But it was taken By States; and being
thuS distributed it gave him an absolute majority
OF 2l2 out of 296 electoral votes, or a majority Of
more than nine-tenths of the whole number cast.
This result exhibits in a very curious manner the
WORKING OF our federal system; as it gives the sue
ceSStul candidate the appearance of having beef
elected almost unanimously, whereas in point of
TACT his vote was less than tpo per cent. greater
than that given to his opponent. OF course it
might happen, under such an arrangement, that the
candidate receiving a large majority of the popular
votes, might still fail Of an election. Q
we refer to these statistics now simply as show
ing that ltls too soon to pronounce the Wing party
as absolutely dead. No party which under such cir
cumStanceS as those of the recent canvass. cast
very nearly a million and a half of votes and with
IN two hundred thousand of its opponents. can be
properly considered extinct. 1t may not renew the
contest in precisely its old shape, nor upon exactly
me issues which have been prominent hitherto
indeed, at no two successive Presidential elections,
nave the questions at stake been quite the same,
andtheya are likely to be modified hereafter more
considerably than they have been hitherto. But
unless the Incoming Administration shall be wi
ser more united, and more fortunate than has Of
Ten iallen to the lot of The dominent patty, the L.
5I3,U20 citizens who cast their votes for the Wing
candidate at the late election, will find their servi-
ces sgain called into requis'tion. They seem in
cllned Just at present to watch and wait,-content
tohoat quietly upon the stream of public sentiment
leaving the Ship Of State to the guidance of those
who have become irresponsible pilots, but ready
doubtless, to make a new struggle for the. helm
whenever all On board shall clearly see the rocks
onwhich the goodly craft may be in danger of wreck.

not being aware that there was such a person as
Mrs. J. and not knowing she had a little boy, nor
that he had ''dirt and things in his head,' the in
case; and further, not knowing that there was a
Mrs. j., nor what were her habits, nor that she had
a little boy, nor what was the condition of his head,
shd did not falsely and maliciously propagate the
report that Mrs. ]. had a little boy who had "dirt
and things in his head.' Mrs. S. denying all ma
lice, admits that she did forbid her Willie playing
with the boys in the street, because he was in the
habit OF getting dirt in his own head; and Mrs. S
would suggest the probability that a wrong version
of this injunction, communicated to Mrs. J. by her
'little boy,'' has been the means of wounding ga
mothers feelings"-DaytCn Gazette.
