The reader will bear in mind that these
footings do not at all show the relative
strength of Buchanan and Fremont, be-
cause in half the States, where Fremon.
has no vote, the comparison is between
Buchanan and Fillmore. The true view,
as between Buchanan and Fremont, is
exhibited in the following article
A. COMPARISON.
The Fremonters have much to say
about the large majorities of their can
didates in few of the States, particu-
larly Massachusetts,, New York, Maine,
and Vermont; but suppose we take a
look at the whole field We shall then
find that Fremont is further behind in
the popular than in the electoral vote
for it must be remembered that in fifteen
States of the Union he has no votes at
all, Or so few that they are not worth
naming. Therefore, the whole Buchan-
an vote of those fifteen States is so much
majority against Fremont. We are in
clined to think that the votes of tho
three candidates in the nation at large
Counting South Carolina at 80, 600 for
Buchanan and none for either of the
other candidates) will be in the neighbor-
hood of what follows, viz:
Buchanan, 1,750,000
Fremont, 1850, 900
Fillmore, 100000
d =
Total 3,75O,OOO
Being a gain upon the Presidential
vote of 1852 of about 100000. An
approximation to the majorities in the
different States, as between Buchanan
and Fremont. is here subioincd:

General order.
NAVY DEPARTMENT, Jan. 28, 1856.

NAVY DEPARTMENT. Jan. Aos loOO.
The Navy Department announces to the
Navy and the Marine Corps the death of
Commodore Charles Morris. He died at his
residence, in the city of Washington, on Sunday
afternoon, the 9th instant at thirty minutes
after o'clock, in the I'D year of his age. He
met his inevitable hour !" with the composure
of Christian.
Rarely, indeed, has nation to mourn the
loss of so distinguished, SO useful, SO good a
citizen. His name is associated with the most
brilliant achievements which have illustrated
the American Navy. No fulsome eulogium
can magnify it; no "storied urn" nor ami
mated bust !" is needed to perpetuate it. The
recollection of his gallant actions on the ocean,
which cheered the dropping spirits of his country
men at memorable crisis IN our history, will
ever be gratefully cherished. As an admin
istrative officer he was signaly successful His
integrity was incorruptible; his diligence
untiring. He was infexibly just; he was can
did and frank; he was an honest man.
As mark of respect it is hereby ordered
that the flags at the several Navy Yards and
Stations, and on board of all vessels of the
United States Navy in commission, be hoisted
at halfmast and thirteen minute guns fired al
meridian on the day after the receipt of this
order; and that the officers of the Navy and
Marine Corps wear Grape on their left arm fol
thirty days. j. c. DOBBIN,
Secretary of the Navy.

TRANsPosITIoN OF FIGUREs-THE FIGURE
NNE-We take the following from the Boston
Courier. 1t is an arithmetical curiosity, inter
esting to the general reader and important tc
accountants
The mineral nine has a certain peculiar
property, a knowledge of which will be Of i'm.
portance TO accountants and cash keepers. 1T
is this: When an error has arisen from any
transposition Of figures the difference between
such transposed number Of figures is uniformly
a multiple of the mineral nine. For instance,
suppose an error occurs in bringing out trial
balance of cash settlement of the amount in
question, or that the sum short or over can be
divided by nine without any remainder, there
is strong probability that the mistake has
been by Transporting figures; at any rate, if
such mistake takes place by reason Of transpo-
sition, the sum in question will divide by nine
without remainder. To illustrate this further:
If 81 has been put down 70, the error will be
Is, or twice 8 exactly; if 322 be set down 223,
the error will be SO, or eleven times 8, and so
on between any transposed number. This
class of errors is very common.

pSa- The newspapers of the country con
tain SO much on the subject Of the organiza-
ton of the House of Representatives, and in
deed we have ourselves so often found it neces-
sary to write on the same subject, that we
always approach it with reluctance. But SO
long as the dsorganization Of the House con-
tinues, SO long does it remain an open subject
for newspaper paragraphs.
If the House is not siekened at the waste of
time and money involved in the protracted con-
test for Speaker, the whole country is. 1t is
becoming insufferable,
Votes which have been taken recently on
various propositions, show that those who style
themselves anti-Nebraska men are in the ma
jority. On that majority rests the response.
blity of the long continued failure to organize
While the Democratic party has thus far
maintained its organization, and kept its can
ddate in the field, hoping, by SO doing, with
the aiG of the scattered conservative elements
in the House, to secure a conservative organi-
zation, it begins to be question whether it is
not losing the benefits it would derive in the
opening Presidential campaign, from the ex-
cesses into which the Black Republicans would
plunge, if they should be allowed to organize
the House on Freesoil principles.
Some of the staunchest Democrats have, from
the first, inclined to the opinion that it would
be better for the Democratic party and for the
country, if the opposition would make an cleo
ton Of Speaker. The question for the Demo
cratic party to decide is, which will profit it
most, the indefinite continuance of the present
condition Of things, or Freesoil organization.
This question we leave to the decision of
Democrats Of the House. They are better
able to decide it than ourselves, and on them
rests the responsibility Of the decision.

as Printer, that HE of the Union relies to
We now ask, does the comparison we have
made, land let him who can, Daguerre a
trner) Of the political merits Of the two, en-
title him of the Union to The preference of
or dement's of the Sentinel are the Dem
ocrats of the Senate prepared to go before
the party and the country, endorsing the Union
as the fairest aud best record which the Dem
ocratic party can present?
Why is it that Senators, avowedly approving
the course of the Sentinel as Democratic re-
cord, and disappearing the course of the Union,
can yet reconcile it to themselves to repudiate
the record they themselves approve, and
select and honor a record they openly condemn?
In going before the Democratic party, in this
issue, which portion of the Democratic Sena-
tors viii" have national approval? They who
repudiate a faithful onver and clean record
to adopt an officer with no superior claims as
such, and with record that no Democratic
Senator will endorse? What mysterious power
works these mysterious moves! Who will lift
the veil I?
How can Senators elect to Office, and honor,
the principal to the alleged Atlas bargain
Why has not this charge been met, and
refutation made? Why not postpone until
it be done, the elevation of the actor, until
at least his skirts be cleansed of this; and
then let him be elected on his merits, and
the merits of his record, if he can be.
Is it not harsh to require honorable Senators
to approve and endorse paper which has de-
nounced and communicated them-to ap
prove and select paper, confessedly guilty Of
the errors charged by them on it2 What ex-
cuse could they give for supporting it? And
| yet they are required to do that, and no alter
native allowed them.
1t may we'll be subject for consideration as
to which party can best justify themselves be-
fore the nation-that which refuses to com.
promit itself blythe support of a party convicted
of the heresies alleged-ora party which insists
that the others shall support that very guilty
party, and none other, and to do so shall sac
| ri6ce one with whom there is no fault.
| Thus stands the record of the Printer.
