Some Of Mr. Fowler's friends rendered the
deficits ascertained up to Saturday; but Mr..
Holt said it was too late, and would be COM
pounding the felony. tits confidently stated
that fund was raised to get him out of the

THE ELECTION IN THE House OF REpREsEN-
rArwEs.--We are often Intercepted as to the
result in case the choice of President should
ievolve upon the present House.
Fourteen States, viz: Alabama, Arkansas,
California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon,
South Carolina, Texas and Virginia would
cast their votes for the Democratic nominee.
Fifteen States, viz: Connecticut, Indiana,
Iowa, Maine. Massachusetts,, Michigan, Min
nesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont and Wisconsin for the Republican
candidate.
Maryland and Tennessee for the Opposition
and the vote of Kentucky and North Carroll

electoral votes, then the House must, from
the three highest, make the election, and that,
too, by Il majority of all the States If they
fail to do this previous to the 18th of March,

by the House, then the Senate shall choose
one from the two highest numbers on the
list voted for.

next fall, and if the House of Representatives
shall fail to elect either, the Senate will have
the appointment of the Chief Magistrate,
though it can only elect from two names pre-
santed by the House.

to him in the event that he has done things,
the exposure of which would disgrace him
by dispelling suspicious. This induces the
Evening Post to remark "that everybody
believed, before Mr.. Haskin's report was made,
that the President was corrupt, and now we
know it. We know that he directs 800, 900
