REHABILITATION
Total States s........'.............e."-..33

As we said before, there can be bat three
candidates voted for by the House, and
these will unquestionably be Breckenridge,
Lincoln and either Douglas or Bell. A
majority O7) of oN the States are neceSsa-
ry to choice The Republicans lack two
Of the necessary number, and can get nc
more. All the four tied States, and also
Tennessee, would be given to Breckinrldge,
in case it should become necessary to pre-
vent the election of Lincoln. This would
make up the number Q7) necessary to elect
him TBrcckinridge] without including lIll~
nois.
So it appears that Douglas chance in the
House, as compared with Brecklnridge, is
no better than in the electoral college.
And yet, the Douglas papers about the
country are as exacting in favor of their can
didate, and as denunciatory against those
who refuse to fling up their hats for him. as
if his nomination had been regular aud
complete, according to the usages of the
Democratic party; Or as if there were any
chances Of his being elected without some
different arrangement of parties from that
which exists at present.
Should neither the electoral colleges mol

elect President aud should no Vice Pres

DEoAPIrATIoN.-We are gratiied to note
that the President has decapitated the noto-
rious Sanders, Douglas wire puller of the
Bowery Boy stripe in New York city. And
that he has put the guilotine in motion near
er home, by the removal OF William H. Car
roll, from the Post Office in Memphis, and
appointing the able, faithful and meritorious
editor of the Avalanche, M. c. Galloway,
to the place. Carroll was one Of the three re
delegates from Tennessee who outraged the
sentiment of his constituency by remaining
IN the Baltimore Convention TO perform the
part assigned him by the Douglas managers,
after the withdrawal of the great body of bis
delegation. No member Of the Douglas
faction is fit to hold Office under Democrat
ic Administration. We congratulate the
city Of Memphis upon the appointment of a
gentleman 50 competent aud mCritorious,
and Democrat go faithful and true, as Col
Galloway MtssissIPial..

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED Every
Democratic United States Senator, save only
Mr.. Pueh and MIR. Douglas, indorses the
nomination Of Brockinridge and Lane, and
will render good aid in clectisg them.
In the House Of Representatives, three
Gfths at least Of the Democratic members
support the same ticket. !,
Ex,President Pierce, and, so for as heard,
eyory member Of the Cabinet, are for Breck-
inridge and Lane, the Union and the Con-
stitution.
President Buchanan and every member
Of his cabinet, including Gen. Cass, the
leader Of the Democracy in tho campalgl
of 1913, are firm in their support OF tl'
nominees of the Democracy, and brand th'
Douglas ticket as bogus one.
Seventeen Of the States of the Uulon ar
as certain to cast their votes for Breckin
ridge and Lane as that the sun will rise o.
the morning of the election, while the friend
Of the bogus ticket cannot point to singl

STATUS SURE FOR DOUGLAS.

We look around in vain for a single one.
Illinois might be considered as such, were 1t
not that the Republican candidate for Prcsi-
dent is also an Illinoisian, and consequently
State pride will operate as much against
Douclas in that State as for him. At the
last general election in Illinois (lo58)
the Republican majority over the Douglas
candidate in the State at large was 3,o2I.
At the same time there were 5,O1 votes
riyen for an anti. Douglas Democratic candl

Douglas now Still, it is quite possible that
Illinois may give its electoral vote for MN

Iowa and several other States But there
is not one State in the whole Union that can
be pronounced certain for him, IN the same
