THE CHOICE OF ELECTORS IN GEORGIA.
In nearly all the States in the Union plurality uf
the votes cast is sufficient to eleca Presidential elec
tor In Georgia the is different. In that State
the statute requires majority of the tchole number of
roes cast to elect Presidential eector. If the ma
Jorty OF the college is elected by such vote, that
majority may, by an election among themselves
supply the vacancies in the college. But if less
number Is elected by the people, the vacancies must
be filled by legislative election and the Governor is
authorized to call special session of the General
Assembly Tor that purpose. The same is true. of
course, if none ofhe electoral candidates get such
majority. Then the duty of eleclirg an entire
electoral college devolves on the Legislature

The NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL Fam Tho un;,od
States Agricultural Society is sending off the foI.
lowing circular relative to the Cincinnati Fair.
We have the honor to inform you that the Exec
utive Committee of the United States Agricultural
Society, who were authorized at the annual meet
ing In January, to locate and make all necessary
arrangements for the Eighth National Exhibition
have decided to accept the liberal offer of grounds,
nxtures, &c, &C., and the guaranty of "a $50, 900
premium List, made by Professor Cary, Vice Presi-
dent for Ohio, in behalf of citizens OF Cincinnati
rms location was presented by Professor Cary to
the attention OF the society at the annual meeting
In 1893, and lit may be proper here to sate) no
obJecuon was made from any source until after it
had again been presented by him at the annual
meeting in January last and informally accented
by the Executive Committee at its subsequent
meeting, on conditions which have been fulfilled in
the most generour manner.
The Eighth National Exhibition will be held at
1.-The Park, near Cincinnati an area of sixtv
acres on the line of railroad leading to Columbus
The ground will be fitted up in the best manner
and there will be track, one mile in length and
forty feet in width, for the exhibition of horses
Every facility will be offered for the exhibition and
triai OF implements and machines; and as the ex-
hlbtlon will extend from the morning of Wednes-
aay, the lZth, to the evening of Thursday the
Zoth, (eight days,) it is hoped that there can be
anose tests so necessary to give value to awards
Inc animated contests of exhibitors for the medals
and diplomas of the United States Agricultural
society prove the high estimation in which these
awards are held land it is but right that they should
pe bestowed with discrimination, after thorough
examination.
;, The delay which has heretofore attended the
distribution of medals will be avoided, as they
nave already been ordered at the Philadelphia
United States mint. Premium lists will be sent bv
mail to applicants.
The agriculturists, stock breeders, horticultu
rists, pomologists, mechanics, artists and other
industrial citizens of the republic and of the ad-
Jacent British provinces are respectfully and ear
nestly solicited to contribute to this exhibition
that it may be of general interest in all its de-
partments. No labor or expense will be spared to
render 1t creditable to the "Queen City of the
west, and worthy of the great agricultural in
terests OF the country, which the society repre-
sents.
The Cincinnati papers say that the arrange
ments for the fair are being urged forward with
great Vigor Sufficient steam power has already
oeen engaged and contracted for, and there is
money IN the treasury, and pledged to put the
thing through in handsome style.

THE PRoPosED New ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH po,;.
Frtddy, July CT A. W.-The draught of hill
mas oeen ald before the Corps Legisatif approving
the 9th and 18th articles of convention Concluded
between MN. Rowett, Conneau, Trotter and Curtis,
LOT laying down a submarine teegraphic line be-
tween France and the United States of America.
The 9th article of the convention says "The Minis
ter OF the Interior engages to guarantee in the
name of the State, to the company formed by NM
Rowett, Conneau, Trotter and Curtis, during fifty
years, an interest of per cent on capital of
o,oOO ,0O0k. This engagement will not oblige the
French government to pay all or any part of the
said sum- except so long the gross receipts of the
telegraphic messages shall not amount to the inte-
rest payable at seven per cent. the capital of
l5OOO 600 francs, so that the to be paid by the
government shall never exceed 05O 900 francs per
annum." 1t is observed that the term "gross re-
celpts renders the guarantee illusory, and conse-
quently the company claim to have the words "net
receipts" inserted in place of "gross receipts"
Inc th article says that the guarantee of interest
snall take effect from the day on which the telepra-
phic line shall have worked in satisfactory manner
from the coast of France to America when it is to
be placed at the free disposal of the government
and OF the public. The 18th article specifics that
II within year from the day the contract is an
proved the works should be commenced-and
moreover, if the line be not commenced and at
work within three years from such approval-the
concession shall be declared null and void The
works will be considered to have commenced when
quarter of the cable required to connect France
with the island of Saint Pierre shall have been COM
pleted in the workshops of the company Capt
Rowett, to whom the concession is granted, is a
practical seaman who has devoted much time to
the study OF the subject. He has had an audience
OF the Emperor, who is desirous to establish direct
telegraphic communication between France, New
foundland and the United States. The cable to be
employed by the company will, at the suggestion
of Capt. Rowett, be lighter than those Hitherto
used, and will, he says, be more easily immersed
and less liable to injury. Capt Rowett, it appears,
has found out an improved mode of preserving the
cable when immersed

SLAVES IN New YoRK.-Within the Last few days
two slaves have arrived in New York, and they are
still here, walking about, under no control or
guardianship. What the abotionists about,
and the Republicans who nulify the fugitive slave
law, that they do not induce these men to assert
their right to freedom, especially as they have
been brought here by their masters, not merely in
transitu, as was the with the Lemons, but on
pleasure tour to the free States? We allude to the
two musicians who came here with the military
company from Savannah during the last week.
One attempt was made by the abolitionsts to kid
nap them; but they for their lives, as if some
thing dreadful was to happen them, and never
stopped till they under the protection of their
masters, who gave them free permission to leave if
they desired it. But these young men could not
be induced to accept the offer. They prefer the
kind OF slavery to which they subject rather
than such freedom as the abolitionists would give
them. What a comment upon the humbug anti
slavery agitation carried on for so many years at
the North, and now carried into the Presidential
election by the Republican party !-Ne,o York
