The Method of Choosing IA President.
The machinery of elccting President,
considering that we have Il Republic, is
rather complicated. Much of it it may be
denominated useless, if not anti-demOcatic.
This is the method: On the first Wednes-
day in December, which occurs tins year on
the "a day of the month, the electors as
sem!,ie in the capitals of their respective
States, and vote for President and Vice Presi-
dent OF this, they make three certificates,
transmitting one to the President of the
Senate by mail and one by special messenger,
and deposit one copy with the Judge ofthe
district court On the First Wednesday of
February, which this year occurs oa the Sd
day of the month, the President OF the Senate
opens the certificates in the presence OF both
Houses af Congress, counts the votes, and
makes declaration of the result
The time viii come, we trust. when the
President of the United States will be chosen
upon principles more in accordance with re-
publican ideas. Under the present system,
a man having a minority of the popular vote
may be chosen President. m

Seventh Congressional District. /.

The Sentinel claims the election of Plato
Durham to Congress in the Seventh Con-
gressional District by eighteen majority.
The Asheville Ne,cs the Democratic organ of
the Seventh District, commenting upon the
result, which it also ciainss to have been a
very small majority for Durham. says that of
course the election will be contested, and
/ take it for granted that Congress VIII admit
A. Fl. Jones, the Republican candidate and
present me1nber We had keen informed
that fraud and intiEid,tion hs<l been used
in that district to prevent frle expression
of the people'swill and the consequent cleo
tion of Mr. Jones The Nens has good
means of knowing what tho,e frauds were,
and may taken as a good judge of their ex-
tent, character and publicity. ..7..,
Therefore when the Meaes says the election
will be contested and A. H. Jones admitted,
it gives circumstantial evidence that there is
probable cause for a contest, and that if CON
tested, the evidence of fraud is sufficient to
give the seat TO Mr.. Jones. If this be true,
and we do not doubt it for moment, then
the election should be contested If it shall
be found upon full investigation, that Mr..
Jones is entitled to his scat, Congress will let
him take it.
There is another reason why the election
should be contested. Plato Durham cannot
take the iron-clad oath. and Therefore can
not take his seat in any event. unless Con
gress shall make special exception of his
case There is no reason 10 believe Congress
will do this. Even Mr.. DuIa1sm's most SAN
guine friends do not expect it 80"
!. In the light of these facts, the contest
should be made. The men who were driven
from the polls at Aslieville demand it. the
people of the State demand it and impartial
justice demands it Then let the test be
made. .aa .-sra .Sar.s .@'sl ~

The Flremen,s Tournament.

The ''Grand Firemen's Tournament" in Of
tawa yesterday was next door to grand fail
ure. But one engine from abroad was pres
ent--the Neptune, from Peoria. Some five
other companies had MAIDEN positive promises
to come, but for some reason, which they
themselves must explain, failed to put in an
appearance. AS it was, however, the boys
had good time. With the Peoria and the
two Ottawa Companies, all in shiney uniforms,
they made very handsome, if not imposing
display.
The test OF engines took place in the after
noon, and was very spirited. The first was
on throwing water, with this result:
Cndine. of Ottawa, .......... 200 #. in.
Neptune, of PEORIA. ,........ .19S g
Niagara, of Ottawa. :. ..197 {. IN.
So the Undine took the broom and the high
est prize. The next test was on running with
Hose carriage about 80 rods, unreeling hose
and coupling to. engine, and resulted in
Neptune in. / minute 10 sec.
Niagara ............1 II 80
Undine ............1 80 6.
SO the first prize under this head was award
ed to the Neptune, Of Peoria.
The proceedings of the day wound up with
a fine ball at Turner Hall in the evening,
which is in full progress as we go to press.

For the Free Trader
Was 1t One Man or Two Men Lost.

The alacricty with which the calls for volun-
teers were obeyed during the ''late unpleasant
ness was never more fully exemplifed in min
iature, than when on Monday evening last a
foaming steed, drawing buggy and two occu-
pants, struck the city limits at the old 2-40 gait
the occupants equalling the aforesaid gait in
the matter of notifying tie boys in our peaceful
and quiet village that man was lost, shot, jam
med and generally banged and bunged up some
where between the white bridge and the Lowell
Of the West" The announcement that man
as lost within miles of Ottawa in broad day
light gave rise to suspicion that gun had dis
charged itself in direct opposition to the will OF
the lost sportsman, and that the contents which
were directed for wild pigeons tresspasing upon
the acorn crop of this region, had made forci-
BILE entrance into the breadbasket of the suppos-
ed unfortunate.
In the twinkling of an eye company of twen-
ty-fve thirty young men, every last man of
whom would go their bottom dollar on Rising,
was raised, and with teams and torches started
for the point where the loss occurred. Courage
and determination to do or die in the search was
seen in every eye of this suddenly improvised
soldiery-and from their pockets lint and band
ages protruded The organization was perfect
in all its appointments-its surgeon with his in
struments, the chaplain with his tools, the COM
missary with his "o-be-joyful," and the rauk and
file, stout of heart and strong Of muscle, were
there.
While this was going on in Ottawa, away mp
on the Narssilles road, not far from "Walbriges
run" might have been seen . solitary iootnan,
with gun upon his shoulders, proceeding with .
military air and gait, "a habit he had acquired
ON the banks Of the Potomac. and through the
Shenandoah valley, in the direction Of Mar
seilles, in search Of the buggy occupants and
fosming course already described. At this end
Of the route tho opinion prevailed that two men
and buggy were non est. Tho solitary nimrod
about faced at Nrrseilles about the same time
| that the 30 torches left Ottawa,--the former
doubtless lamsnting the luck that promised him
an 8 miles tramp amid the sombro shades of the
evening, while the shirt-bosoms of tho latter un.
| dulated with alternate hope and fser as to the
f,to of their comrade. The former rohearsing in
| solemn strain the story of the "babes in the
| woods" and the latter humming in suppressed
| voices that old familiar song which was
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1868-09-19

arranged for full chorus when the lost one
should be found, and which read ''well all get
drunk stone blind when our hunter comes
marchin home
The solemn procession met on the highway
near Walbridges "a tear moistening the eye of
each. The prodigal was found. The surgeon
opened his case Of instrument, and drew there
from corkscrew; the commissary responded
gracefully; and then there was more Joy over
the one man that was found, than over the nine
ty and nine that didn't hunt pigeons that day.
