ANOTHER WAR LOAN IN ENGLAND.-It is
believed that Immediately on the meeting of
the British Parliament, new loan Of at least
EGO, 100000 will be asked for. 1t is also
thought it will be accompanied by an extern
sion of the circulation of paper money on
government securities to the extent, probably,
of about E4,OO0,0OO in addition to the Gl4,-
100000 now allowed. That measure will
ease the stress Of the new loan; but, as some
twenty or thirty millions more will be de-
manded to meet the expenses of the next
campaign, the relief will be but temporary.

THE MAJORITY RULE AND THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The following article from the Troy
Budget, possesses interest at this time:
The protraded struggle at Washington,
consequent upon the organization OF the new
third Know Nothing party, suggests the pos
siblity of failure of any Presidential candi-
date to receive a majority of all the votes
given in the electoral colleges, and therefore,
rs matter of course, OF an exciting ana cor
rupt-and jud ring from what we have already
seen of the present struggle on the Speaker
ship-probably unsuccessful contest in the
House of Representatives. According TO
present Appearances, democrat must be
elected Presiden. by the people, or there Will
be no election OF that officer at all until the
constitution has been put to test much
beyond what has been required by any
| previous contest, unless some combination
should he fOmed in Congress OF much
stronger character than is now anywhere an
ticipated.
For the purpose of showing where this
triangular fghs NAV ultimately lead, we will
suppose that tie republican and Know Moth
ing electoral votes together In numbers ex-
coed the democratic, and in consequence, un-
der the l3th Article of the consultation, the
election is semitic the House OF Representa-
tiyes The article referred to provides that
in the event ola failure to effect choice by
a majority of the electors, "then, from the
persons having the highest numbers, not ex'
cecding three, m the list of those voted for
as President, tle House of Representatives
shall choose Immediately, by ballot, the
President. BIT in choosing the President
the votes shall be taken by States, the rep
resentaton from each State having one vote
"a quorum fo' this purpose shall consist OF
a member or members from wo'thlrds OF the
States and majority Of all the States shall
be necessary To choice.
Now the present House of Representatives

will devolve the election, is, according to the
most careful classification, constituted 80 as to
