The electoral vote the present year will num.
Der 3lT, providing the Southern Statsa are all
readmitted. The Southern States not vet adj
mitted 10 representation, under the old reRuIa,
lions. would be entitled to 10 votes, but By
adding the twos6fths Of the colored population
formerly deducted, the vote may be Increased.
/ This could not be properly done until after the
next census but 10 admitting them as new
States, past rules and laws may GOT be adhered

tai1ly receive the following; California, S !;

As 1t will require l59 TO elect, it will be seen
that some other votes will be required. With.
out the Southern vote l24 would elect, and 10
| that case the democratic success would be very
easy but counting upon the Southern vote as
| certain for the radicals, which it is not by any
means, let US look at the other States aud see
bow they stand. Illinois, 10 1854, gave over
80, ,766 majority for Lincoln. OF this, Cook
county, in which is the city OF Chicago, gave
l4,3le majority. This is the strongest republican
locality In the State. At tue municipal election
lately held, Chicago gave 9 small democratic
majority. Had the republican majority been
5000, it would then have shown such change
In the State as would have given it 10 the de>
mocracy, but sc great Is the change indicated
BY the Chicago election, that 1t seems the State
may be counted on with q certainty 10 give its
| l6 electoral votes 10 toe democratic candidate
That would give l57 votes, lacking but two elect.
Missouri with IL votes gave but IL $40 votes for
| Lincoln in 1864, when its total vote 10 1860 was
les, ,5ls. In 1864, St. Louis gave l4O27 votes
| for Lincoln, aud ss2 for Mcclellan q republican

This year the full vote of the State will probably
be given, and we doubt very much IL the radi-
cal vote will be as large as in "a. The late
brave action of Senator Henderson, and the
contemplate act Of the st. Louis radicals at
tempting to control his vote on the impeachment
question, will have great effect on the vote in
November. The 200 who voted for Douglas,
Breckenridge and Bell in 1860 are still there, or
will be represented by their children, and these
can hardly be expected to vote for the extremely
radical, negro equaliziug party of to-day. The
eleven votes Of Missouri may quite safely be
counted for the democracy. The vote of Maine
hsS been falling rapidly from its republican ma.
jority Of 1900 in 1864, and the late course of
Senator Fessendsn, the insults given him, Maine's
favorite son, together with the negleeis Of the
party, may give the even votes of the State to
the democracy. New Hampshire is iu the same
category, and Eve votes may fairly be expected
from that State. These two New England States
were
excitement attending the negro question in late
years, have bowed to the enemy. The demo-
cratic blood is yet 10 the veins of the people,
and now, seeing how terrible has been their
error they will, in all probability, return to the
true path. Vermont with Eve, Massachusetts
with twelve, and Rhode Island with four votes.
may quite safely be counted for the radicals
OF the other seven doubtful States, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Michigan, West Vir-
gna and Tennessee, with an aggregate Of forty.
four votes, it can only be said they extremity
oubtful. Several Of these have lately voted
on the negro suffrage question, and utterly repu-
dated it it is not therefore probable that they
will attempt to force il upon the South. As this
is the great and almost only question at present
at issue, the votes Of intelligent aud honest men
may be expected to ee cast for the treatment of
others they ask that themselves be treated.
Tennessee, in 1860, had q white vote las 900, |
and although now governed by enforced votes,
they are yet quite conservative, and a good cam
paigu may carry the State for the democracy. |
The eastern portion of the State was formerly
democratic aud UGion, and 1860 gave the State
TO Bell and Everett, without a vote for Lincoln,
as specially Union candidates. 1t is the home |
of Andrew johnson, where be always has been |
the great fAvorite of the people. He has been
their true and steadfast friend through all his |
life, through prosperity, and now the great out
rage attempted upon him will be resented by his |
friends of Tennessee. The western portion is |
thoroughly democratic in its native white vote, |
but there the carpet baggers, negroes and the
military rule, and there can be no calculation
of the vote but with the military and negro
vote it has elected two Senators who have repu-
dated the radical party, and their sentiments of
disgust may be experienced by the people and
the radical rule overturned. Although reckon,
ing the State among the doubtful, 1t 10 not ex>
travagant 10 say we have strong hopes that it
will cast its ten votes for the nominee of the
New York Convention. Excepting the three
New England States, there are none but those
under military rule that can be counted on as
certain for the negro suffrage ticket. It is quite
unreasonable to expect that those military gov
erned States will vote against the power that
places the military over them. The 70 votes are |
in the hands of Congress- and will in all probs |
bihtY be counted for the Congressional nominee. |
The present Congress will have the counting of
the vote 10 February next, and from the spirit |
IL has shown nothing fair need be expected. If |
the votes Of the different Southern States should
by any chance be unmistakably for the demo- |
cratic electors, then they will not be counted, |
but IL Otherwise they will readily be admitted. |
The votes of these States depend upon who re- |
taius possession of the War Office. With them |
the radicals count ninety -one votes as certain,
while the democracy may count one hundred
and forty one as certain, and the doubtful States
balancing heavily towards the democratic side.
Let our nominee and platform be such as the
conservative and progressive people OF the Union |
can indorse, aud the National Republican Union |
Negro Equality for the-South candidate will not |
get above the ninety-one votes we have allowed |
him.-SaerGmento Reporter.
WApn's IHDEoEHoY.-Wads's vote on the i'm. |
peachmeut 10 even too much for radical stomS |
schs. Here is what the N. Y. Post says:
"The only dsgraceful vote cast on Saturday
was that Of Mr.. Wade, who, with . reckless
abandonment Of deeency and propriety, voted
for conviction, and for his own elevation to the
Presidency, when it was believed by himself and
the other supporters Of impeachment that con-
victiou would be obtained by only single vote.
We shall be surprised il Mr.. Wade's course in
this matter does not drive him out OF public life
1t has certainly lost him the respect and conn
dence Of all impartial minds."
