now !

We have been requested to publish the
clause of the Constitution relating to the
election Of President and we append it be-
low. As there is possibility that the House
OF Representatives or the Senate may be
called upon to elect the President, the clause
at this time becomes especially interesting
1t is as follows:
ARTICLE XlI.-The electors shall meet in
their respective States, and vote bv ballot
for President and Vice President, one Of
whom at least, shall not be an inhabitant of
the same State with themselves; they shall
name, in their ballots, the person voted for
as President, and, in distinct ballots, the per.
son voted for as Vice President; and thev
snail make distinct lists of all persons voted
Tor as President, and of all persons voted for
as vice President, and of the number of votes
tor each, which lists they shall sign and certi.
ty, and transmit, sealed, to the seat of the gov
ernment of the United States, directed to the
President of the Senate The President of
the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate
and House of Representatives, open all the
certificates, and the votes shall then be
counted. The person having the greatest
number of votes for President shall be the
| lCslucHJj IL Sucl HulnOef Oe a majority OF the
whole number of electors appointed and if
no person have such majority, then from
the persons having the highest numbers, not
not exceeding three on the list of those
voted for as President the House of Repre-
sentatives shall choose Immediately by bal
lot the President But, in choosing the
President, the votes shall be taken by States,
the representation from each State having
one vote; quorum for this purpose shall
consist OF a member or members from two
thirds of the States, and a majority of all
the States shall be necessary to a choice And
if the House of Representatives shall not
choose a President, whenever the right of
choice shall devolve upon them before the
fourth day of March next following, then the
Vice President shall act as President, as in
the case of the death, or other constitutional
disability Of the President.
The person having the greatest number Of
votes as Vice President, shall be the Vice
President, if such number be majority Of
the whole number of electors appointed;
and if no person have a majority, then, from
the two highest numbers on the list, the SEN
ate shall choose the Vice President-a quo
rum for the purpose shall consist of two
thirds of the whole number of Senators, and
majority of the whole number shall be

which places 1t, as well its proprietor far above
the assaults of envy and professional malice In the
schools of France the highest prizes are often award
ed to practitioners in this department of Medical
science, and they occupy with others, an equally lofty
position in the profession. Ricord is an ustrious ex-
ample, shining light among the philosophical stars Of

him in this country, as proof of which, the Pha-
delphia College of Medicine compmented him with
Diploma, and the honorary Gd eURdeBt degree. Sc
ectng this his field of operation, although qualified
as graduate of the University of Pesth, and late
Chief Surgeon Of the Hungarian Revolutionary army,
for more extended labors, Dr. L. Czapkay has bent
his earnest attention to the of chronic and pr-
yae Diseases in which he has become so great an ex
pert that he is regarded the LEADER in this
branch Of his profession throughout the United States

IHE CAPTURED MEXICAN STEAMERS. judge
McCaleb, of the U. S. Circuit at New Orleans.
has decided that the two steamers of the
Glramon Government, which it will he re-
membered were captured off Vera Cruz by
Capt. Turner, of the nteam frigate Saratoga,
are not lawful prizes. The steamers were
named General Miramon and the Marques de
la Habana, and were taken to New Orleans,
and application made there to have them
condemned as lawful prizes. Judge McCaeb
orders them to be returned. The New Or
leans Pieayune, in stating the points of his
decision, says
The conclusion Of the Judge from the tes-
| timony is that the Marques de Ia Habana
fired no shots whatever at the United States
expedition, which was approaching the posi-.
tlon she occupied at Anton Lizardo, and that
in fact her guns were dismounted and unfit
for use. The Miramon, by the same evidence
is shown to have resisted capture under the
belief that the two steamers were attacked
by vessels sent against them by the Juarez
government from Vera Cruz. 1t is also shown
that the Miramon did show Spanish colors
during the attack, and that the attacking
force did not hoist any oolors.
The Miramon was designed for the service
of the Miramon government, but was not
deliverable until the terms of purchase were
complied with. This had not been done, and
she had not been delivered, and was, conse.
quently, private Spanish property, for the
restoration Of which suit has been brought in
the District Court here.
The Court AYERS that Captain Turner, in
approaching the steamers, chose the night
time, displayed no flag. approached the YES
sells in manner to give them cause to be-
lieve that they were TO be assaulted by an
enemy from the city, and thus became re
sponsible for having unnecessarily produced
the collision which followed
Judge McCeleb's Judgment is that the cap
tute was Illegal, and that the ships with their
tackle, apparel and furniture shall be re-
stored, but without costs. The claim for in
demnity, which would include all consdera-
tions of cost and damages, has been with.
drawn from the courts, and will probably go
before Congress, unless it should be the sub
ject of official reclamation to the govern
ment, and become an international affair.

HORRIBLE MURDER OF a FAMILY IN iowa.
The Fairfield Qowa) Jelfersonian extra Of
recent date, has the following:
On Saturday fisherman found the bodies
of woman and two children, in Cedar
Creek, near Abingdon, jefferson county, il
this State. An inquest was held, and suffi-
cient information ELECTED to put Sheriff Robl
on the track. lie, with others, folio wed OF
till he overlook the murderer near Upton, q
few miles across the Missouri line. The mur-
derer, John Kephart, was arrested, and on
examining his wagon, clothes belonging to
the murdered woman and her children were
found slowed away in it..
More than a year ago Kephart went to
kuscatine with his team to move one VIM.
Willis, carpenter, and his family to Missou-
ri He took them to Cass county, Missouri,
where Willis was taken sick and died sudden
lv, as is since said, from the effects of strych-
nine administered by Kephart. After Willis
death, Kephart took his place as head of the
family, and removed to Arkansas. where he
sold whiskey to the Indians. In May, he
moved over to the neighborhood Of Des
Moues, whence, few days since, he started
South with the family, in wagon drawn
| by two yoke cf oxen.
The little boy named James, found with
him at the time of his arrest, says that his
mother was killed Thursday night, 2Sth ult.
near Eddyville. They had camped out and
his mother got supper as usual. After sup
per she complained of being sick, and soon
went to bed in the wagon with the children.
In the night some time, the boy awoke, and
found his mother lying dead, with a large
cash in the head. The children scrambled
out of the wagon, and Kephart chased the
Oldest and youngest around and under the
wagon with the axe. The little girl was
soon caught and killed.
lie had more trouble after the boy, who
lodged and avoided him until he tripped
and fell AS he was getting up again, KEEP
hart gave the fatal blow. After placing the
children in the wagon, he then took the wa
goa hammer and pounded their heads tc
make sure work.
After his arrest and committal, on Sunday
night, about nine o'clock, as we learn from q
private letter, the jailor at Fairfield entered
the prison and found Kephart suspended by
the neck, and apparently hfeless. He GU
him down Immediately, and the physicians
soon brought him round and tits now hoped
that he will live long enough to furnish the
Sheriff an opportunity to perform that jol
for him.
Kephart is about sixty years old. Mrs
Willis, the murdered woman, was from thirty
five to forty, the murdered boy twelve year:
old, and his sister six. The boy living i
about ten.
