How Congress Elects the President and
Vice President.

1t may be useful, Just about this time, to
reproduce the statement the approach of a
Presidential election makes opportune every
four years. II is thus succinctly given by
writer in the New York Daily Times.
THE House Of Representatives has moth
ing whatever to do with the sleetion Of a
Vtce-President, nor the Senate with the
election Of President. The powers Of
each body are distinct and entirely inae-
pendent oil, the oteer.
If ne President be chosen by the cleo
tors the House of Representatives may
choose the President, their choice being re-
stricted TO the persons having the highest
numbers, not exceeding three, on the list
of those voted.for as president. .. ..-
Ii no Vice President be chosen By the
electors, the Senate shall choose the Vice.
President from the two highest numbers
on the list of those voted for as Vice Pres
ident.
Ii the House fails TO elect q President
before the 4th Of March next, following
then the Vice. Observation-Disclosures chosen
by the electors or by the Senate-shall act
as President.
The rule or manner Of voting under
which the Senate chooses Vice President
is exactly the reverse OF that which gov
ems the House in choosing the President
each being the reverse of the general
principle or basis upon which the respect
i've bodies are organized.
The House, representing the people, and
ordinarily voting per capita votes for Pres
ident by States, the representation from
| each State having one vote, and majority
OF all the States being necessary to the
cheice. The Senate represent ng the States
in theory at least, and in the manner of
electing Senators votes for Vice Presi-
dent per capita. each Senator being entitled
TO vote, and majority OF all the Sena-
tors being necessary 10 a choice"

With the Union we fight to win,
Or with the Union Iall.
The Union sentiment is abroad, and nc
handsomsr or pleasanter way Of giving N;
tersnoe TO that sentiment can be devised
than IN giving Union Banners TO the breeze
Everywhere throughout the country the
friends of the Union, and Bell and Everett,
are erecting tall poles and hanging out
their banners. The friends of Bell and
Everett in this place, some days since
erected handsome pole, near ninety feet
high, and on Monday morning the stars
and stripes were run up. The blue ground
has large Bell painted on it, surrounded
by stars, and the names Of Bell and Everett
are in large letters, the entire length Of the
flag. Tbs whole business was undertaken
and successfully carried through BY few
whole-souled and energetic Union men, and
in behalf of the entire great Union Party,
we return them thanks.

you the plain truth. You may guzzle wine

The Decay Of American Orchards.

Or, John A. Warder, the eminent Ohio
pnmoIogist, writing in late number Of the
Cineinnatus upon the decadence Of orchards
in this country, gives the prominent causes
OF the failure in the following:
SUMMARY.-In this essay | have passed
in rapid review, with some occasional sim t..
Publications., the chief CAUSES OF the prema-
,ure decay of apple orchards, which may be
attributed TO q want OF proper selection and
preparation of the soil; to neglect OF cult
