Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-06-09
Congress and the Presidency.

A correspondent inquiries how the vote would stand should the election of Presi dent be thrown into the House of Repre- sentatives.
 The democrats have, in the present House upon which the election may devolve. majority of the delegations from fourteen States, to-wit: Alabama, Arkansas, Cali fornia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois. Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon. South Carolina, Texas, Virginia.
 The republicans have majority of the delegations from fifteen States, name " Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massa- chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hamp- shire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Penn- sylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wis consin.
 The delegations from Kentucky, Mary land and North Carolina are equally divided. half democratic and half opposition. The majority of the delegation from Tennessee is American As each State delegation casts but one vote. and that is determined by majority of the delegations; and, as 1t requires seventeen votes to elect, neither the democrats nor republicans can elect by a strict party vote, Kentucky, Maryland. North Carolina and Tennessee would hold the balance of power. None of these States however, would vote for an ultra man of either section.
 If the House of Representatives should fail to elect before the 4th of March, the elec- tion would go to the United States Senate. and the Senate would choose one of the two persons having the highest number of votes for the office of Vice President, and the person so chosen would act as Presi- dent for the full term. As majority of the Senators elect and as the democrats have majority in the Senate, there may be deep calculation at the bottom of the apparently suicidal proceedings at Charles ton.
 We ehave shown that as the House of Rep resentatves is constituted, no party has a majority of the States, and Kentucky, Maryland and North Carolina being tied, the democrats would have it in their power, if they could not secure the choice of their candidate in the House, to defeat an cleo tion until the 4th of March. The election of President has never yet gone to the Senate, and that it will never go there is but remote possibility. Still, we believe. that some of the scheming politicians have taken this possibility into their calculations. and are acting upon it.-N y. Sun.
 THE CALIFORNIA YEAST PLANT.-A cor respondent of the Clarksville Chronicle says in regard to it:
 While on visit to Nashville few days ago, 1 had conversation with one of the most intelligent and reliable physicians of that city, from whom learned the follow ing facts. The California yeast Is used by a large number of families in Madison county, Alabama among whom strange fatality has recently prevailed. The dis ease is a swelling of the stomach, and is accounted for by the physicians, upon the supposition that particles of the yeast ad- here to the stomach and being moistened by the fluids in the system, they enlarge as in the jar, until they produce suffocation; and death ensues. I did not learn the num- Der of deaths occasioned in this way, but the fatality is sufficiently large to induce the public to investigate the subject moro thoroughly before they indulge in the use of this yeast too extensively, merely be- Cause IL 10 oioap, CoHN NeHlcHt anu pdlataDie- In these cases the physicians were not able to apply any efiectual remedy to stop the swelling.
 do not suppose that the yeast is an es- sential poison. have known it to be used by great many persons without any i'll effect. But have no doubt that it IS para sital in its nature and that animal heat does not destroy its vitality. A person might use 1t with safety ninety nine times, but on trying the experiment the hundredth time particle of the yeast might adhere to the stomach and prove fatal, It IS the law of its nature to enlarge and reproduce when in contact with fluid. It obeys this law in the human stomach as effectually as 1t does in jar of water.
