THE HAZE VOTES.

Tho half votes in the Charleston Conven-
tion may need a word of explanation. The
electoral college, which casts the actual votes
for President and Vice President consists of
as many electors as there arc Representatives
and Senators for all the States each State
appointing a number equal to the number of
Representatives and Senators which it is en-
tilted to have in Congress At present that
makes in all three hundred and three-two
hundred and thirty-soyen for the Representa-
tivcs and sixty-six for the Senators. The
Charleston Convention consisted of twice as
many persons-two for each electoral vote
making six hundred and six persons in all.
Nevertheless, in voting, two persons from
each State were rcckoned but for one vote. so
as to make the votes in Convention agree with
the votes of the electoral college OF course
wherever there was a division in the votes from
any State so that single delegates differed
from their fellows, half Uotes would appear
BY rule of the Convention--one which
obtained in several former Conyentions-two
thirds of all the votes were necessary for one
man to effect his nomination. This required
2O2 full votes, and though the seceders car
ricd out Of the Convention 50 or more votes.
the same number, viz. 202. was required to
nominate in the body which was left. Dou.

friend Of the Hon. Edward Bates--whose let

inserted and whose views therein expressed,
in regard to the slavery question have been

from speeches from the ilustrious Henry
Clay, alongside of the opinions lately advanc-

of them. to show the entire coincidence of sem

cannot be denied, however much the views OF

MURDER or REv. T.. p LoVEJoY In the
recent speech OF Mr. Iovejoy of Illinois, which
created SD much excitement ia the House of
Representatives, ho is reported to have said:
you shed the blood of my brother twenty
years ago, and now | am here, FREQ to speak
my mind
The Cleveland Herald gives an explanation
Of the murder of Rev. Elijah r. Loycioy, at
Alton Illinois, IN the year 1887:
The Rev Elijah p Lovcioy was the editor
Of the Alton Observer, an anti-slayery paper,
printed at Alton, Illinois, right over the river
from Missouri
The press of the Observer, was three times
destroyed by a mob; the last time on Noyem-
Der 7th 1887, at which timo Mr. Loyeioy was
killed. On the night of the 9TH a mob col
lcctcd around the warehouse in which the press
was--and threatened violence if it was not
delivered up TO them. Mr.. Loycioy and a
number of friends were in the warehouse and
prepared to defend the press The mob were
told from the warehouse that the press would
not be given up, and then the mob commenced
an attack,
shot fred from the building took fatal
effect upon one Of the mob, named Lyman
Bishop. And the mob for time withdrew.
They, however, rallied again with increased
forced and set the warehouse ON fire. Then.
to escape death by burning, the inmates were
forced to leave, and in doing so the Roy. MIR,
Loyejoy, at the door of the Building, received
four balls in his breast, and fell a corpse. The
mob brought out the press, and having smash
ed it, throw the pieces into the river.
That is the outline of the affair The mob
was from the Missouri side, and the whole
outrage prepetrated under the lead and dircc-
ton Of slavery The thrilling effect Of Mr.,
Owen Loyejoy's remark to Mr.. Clark Of Mis-
sour, can be better seen in the full glare of the
history of that Alton outrage, and hence we
have looked up and revived the important facts.
The blood Of Loveioy stained the name Of
Alton for many years, for its municipal au-
thorties were powcrless before the demand of
slavery, and that city to this day, has not re-
covered from the blow the death of that man
gave her.

PUBLIC SPEAKING.-The large number
of public speakers III the United States
has received the attention of European
visitors, and our countrymcn have often
been called a "nation of o~rators.r The
educational system of the country, our
political organization, and the increased
influence OF a man that can speak in pub
lie, combine to produce more good, off
hand, unembarrassed orators here than
in any other country of the world. The
huency, boldncss and self-possession of
American speakers is Unmarked contrast
with the opposite qualities so generally
noticed in most English orators. John
Bull must have a grand dinner when any
great object is to be achieved, but Bro
tler Jonathan must have a succession of
distinguished speakers, or speakers who
wish to be distinguished.
1t cannot be denied that many of the
speeches in our dc%liberative assemblies
are diffuse, and that the business of the
State and nation is retarded by the de-
sire of our public men to "air their voca-
bulary." In politics ii is found that a
popular orator will often make a better
candidate for his party than a man OF
more experience and far greater execu-
tive ability. The most superficial survey
will show what a power and force clo-
quence has in this country. In every
department of society the orator is re-
ceived with attention, and honurs are
showered upon him. These facts should
engage the attention of young men, and
they should cultivate the art of oratOry,
with a view of becoming fluent, graceful
and eloquent speakers. Some of our
most gifted public orators have reached
their present distinction by long and
careful training. Their example should
stimulate others to strive for the same
degree of excellence.

bay. Our German friends get up, now
and then some amusing mishaps. Two
years ago the Albany regiment went
out of town to do camp duty. Among
the companies belonging to the regi-
ment is the German Rifle Company
The first night out one of the Germans
was drafted for guard duty. He was
pleased with the honor and resolved to
live up to the regulations. just before
midnight the officer of the guard went
the 'grand round" to examine matters
and see if the sentinels were properly
posted.

was not TO be stabbed even with one
barrel, especially while he occupied a
position inside of the camp. Schnapps

could not understand how der officer of
