Under the new apportioument the Electoral
vote 10 which The States outside Of the rebel
lion will be entitled will number in the aggre-
gate 267-tbe States under rebel rule, 54.-
Of the States which are loyal to the Govern
ment, the following may be set down as Ger
tain for the nominee Of The Union Conven-
ton: Arkansas, California, Connecticut
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mary
land, Massachusetts. Michigan, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West
Virginia, Wisconsin. These States give 20S
votes, while only l62 are necessary to elect,
counting all the votes to which the rebel
States would be entitled. The doubtful States
are New Jersey, Kentucky, Delaware, Louis
lana, Missouri, Nevada and Tennessee; and
of these all except perhaps the two first named
are quite as likely TO go Tor the Union candi-
date as against him. In case the States a.
present in rebellion DO not participate in the
election the number OF votes necessary to a
choice will be l34.

Ohio Reform Farm and School.
The people of Ohio have always had
cause to be proud of the benevolent in
stitntions Of the State, to which the
friends Of the unfortunate look for tn E
means OF paliating the misfortunes Of
tho blind, the deaf and dumb, the idiot
ic, and the insane But none of these
institutions have worked moro positive
good than that which is being accom- :
plished by the State Reform School. -
Before its establishment there appeared
but little hope for the reform of the
scores, nay, hundreds, of youths who
wero every year brought before the
county, charged with the commission of
crimes. Convicted, the fate of the boy
was fixed. Thrown into prison, and
thus brought into contactswith h harden-
ed criminals as well as thus stigmatized
with the name of convict, be came forth
from the incarceration hardened vii.
lain, prepared by his penitontiary
schooling to run a rapid career of vice
In nine cases in ten the boy was lost,
from the first crime for which he was
imprisoned But, thanks to the en-
lightened benevolonse which led to the
establishment of the State Reform Farm
and School, this is now all changed
and the parent who is SO sorrowfully
unfortunate as to have an iRcorrigible
son whose footsteps have been led into
the paths Of crime, can now have hope
for his reform.
For seven years this Reformatory in
stitutiOn has been opened for the rscep
tiOn Of youth, and each year the results
achieved have been more cheering. In
their present report, the commissioners
say that "the school has never been
more successful, viewed in any light,
than during the past year. The school
has been constantly crowded, aud large
numbers have been refused Rdmittahcs
for want of room. Most of those re-
ceived have been sentenced for crimes
committed agains. the laws of tho State.
We have been compelled tc relieve the
jails, while hundreds of cases of ex-
tremo incOrrigibility have been passed

And a yordant mossy carpet
Spread over oil the ground.

And see the squirrels playing,
About among the trees;
Aud the leaflets softly swa ying,
In tho gentle summer breeze.
love to roam in autumn,
When tho leaves are turning brswn;
When all the flowers are fading,
And the fruit is falling down.
The golden pears and apples,
Are falling from the trees;
And the purple, juicy grapes
Are as beautiful as these.
And OF love the winter;
When we can slogh and skates
Aud whom the sun has sunk to rest,
And II Is growing late,
All seated round the iiroside
We croad, and talk, and sing,
As merry as the birds, or bees,
Or any living thing,
love the works Of Nature;
love the works Of Art;
Evon the little brides
Have place within my heart.
Tho ripplins of the waters
Is pleasant sound to nc,
And the chirping of the cricket,
And tho hummiug Of the bee.

An Abolition Preacher Indief.
ed for Illegal Voting.

During the present term of Court, q
Methodist preacher, by the name of Bush,
was indicted for Illegally voting in Mt.
Vernon, at the late election. He halls,
we believe, from Lorain county, and al
though he had been but 81 days In this
county, he swore in his vote, asserting, as
we understand, that no had been in this
county 80 daysi Whether, this was OBJ
iviousness of memory or deliberate per-
jury, is known to the Searcher Of hearts
and the gentleman himself. 1t is said
that Mr.. Bush was very much disinclined
to vote on that day, having serious doubts
as to his legal right to do SO, but he was
waited upon by a committee of Adolf
tionists, with a carriage, who insisted up
on his voting, stating that the result
would be very close. that every vote must
be polled that could be obtained, and
that it "would be all right" &c. Now if
this illegal vote was procured through
the agency and efforts of this committee,
in opposition to the private convictions of
Mr.. Bush, they are more guilty, in NOR
ais, if not in law, than that getlemaa.
But we presume the Union League
will grant %absolution and remission of all
their sins.-M. Vernon Banner.

Exchange of Prisoners.

1t has recently been reported that ar
rangements would soon be made for the
exchange of ten thousand prisoners. We
hope this may prove true. Now that the
election is passed the administration
should find time to do something for the
thousands of our brave soldiers now suf-
fering in Southern prisons. 1t has been
an outrage to neglect them so long. Hun
dreds have been compelled by actual me-
cessity to take the oath of allegiance to
the Confederacy. Is this not a burning
shame and disgrace? Mr.. Lincoln can
instantly relieve these soldicrs-let Us
see whether be will remain as indifferent
as ever.
