An ELsCrIox BY TIE HousE.-ln view
Of the p,sih,I'Iy Of the election Of Prs
'dent neing thrown into the House Of
Representatives, il there should be three

preheusi, IN has been expressed that j,
would result, in The TRIUMPH: Of the Back
Republican candidate. We do not think
that suci, would be the case, a"'! there
tore we do not ,hiuk The Suu,h has any
reason to fear such al e:ent.
There are shirt three States in the
Uni,n, and the Constitution provides
that a majority Of them shall DO necessa-

lion has to be made by The house Of Re-
representatives.. 1. would therefore require
seventeen States to eli Ct. There are it
is true, eiyh,e.n free States to fifteen slave
but two or three Of the fee States
would not vote fol the Black Republican
cand date. Oregon aud California may
be certainly relied on. Thus the Black
Republican candidate could not, under
any circumstances get seventeen States
the number necessary to elect.
IN voting in the House Of Repres"n-
,a,iyes each State, great or small. has
one vote. aud but one. Florida, t"e'e-
fore, has the same weight with New
York. The candidate for whom the vote

HossE SToLEN!- On last Saturday night,
Mr.. Fr.tobard Of this county, placed one Of
mis- horses in the stable and allowed the other
20 remain outside. On the following morning
the animal LEFT outside, was gone. He at once
instituted 4 rigorous search, in which he was
assisted by several Of his neighbors, and scouI-
ed the bottom its whole leogthand breadth, but
found no track Of the missing animal, The
probability js, tat the horse was stolen by the
man men;=aed = couple or three wecks ago.
If he has succeeded in carrying off this horse,
our cit:z, n may rest assured LIE will try again,
before long, to get another. 1t would be well
10 adopt some mans to either secure the
horte', or watch the villain, aud his accom-
p'iyes.

This fact argues well for the spirit aud liber-

tribute to no more IaulG6le enterprise than
the erection OF houses of worship. Where the
