Among the Novelties

Seen by us while at the ''National Con.
vention, ," we are pleased to notice a.
mong the useful inventions for family
use, the curious contriyances in the
shape of Sewing machines, at the
salesroom of the Chicago Sewing Ma
chine Co. They sew with a double
thread, with wonderful rapidity, making
seam equal and more uniform than
any stitching could possibly be done by
an experienced seamstress. They will
hem, gather, quilt and stitch equal y
well on canvas or fine fabric. The
stitch can be graduated to coarse or
fine work with perfect ease; in short,
they mnst soon become an indispensable
requisite to almost every family, as
they are selIieg at prices ranging from
s25 to $35, and $40 with table aad other
equipments.

If tie People Fail to Elect a Presi
dent, what then?

AS failure to elect President by
the people is barely possible, but not
probable, it may be briefly stated what
the mode Of election and the probable
result of such case would be.
Article MI of the Amendments of
the Constitution declares in substance.
that if the electors chosen by the people
of the several States shall fail to cast a
n"qjority Of votes for any one person,
then the House of Representatives leach
State casting one vote) shall choose a
President from among the three highest
candidates. The House of Representa-
tiyes have until the 4th of March next,
in which to make such choice. But if
the House shall fail to choose Presi-
dent before the 4th of March next, then
the VicePreSident shall act as Presi-
dent. But who will the Vice-P President
be at that time. The second section of
Article XII declares that if the electors
fail to elect Vice-President, the SEN
ate shall choose Vice resident, from
the TOO highest persons on the list.
Now who will be the two highest per-
sons on the list? 1t is conceded on all
sides that Hamlin will be one of them ;
so it is also very apparent that Lane will
be the other; although some of the
friends Of Douglas may insist that John
son has chance of being one of the
two highest. If then such remote
contingency should arise as a failure tc
elect by the people, and also a failure
to elect by the House of Represents
tives, then the U. S. Senate which i.
now democratic and will continue to be
so OH and after the 4th of March next
would of course elect democratic Vice
President, who Would be the President
of the United States.
