vote cast for President and Vice
President, when Grant and Colfax
will be declared elected Mr..
Wade, as President pro tcmPore of

the envelopes containing certificates
Of the votes Of the several States.
The Joint rule now in force pre-
cribes that objections can be made
by any member Of either house TO
the counting Of the vote Of any
State, and in that case the Senate
will retire to IFS chamber, and each
house will vote separately upon the
question Of the reception Of the vote
of such State" II is hardly prob
able that objection will be made TO
the vote Of any State, so that the
result Of the election will he declared
without any trouble. 1t is but
little over three weeks until the
new President is TO be inaugurated,
and the country is yet ignorant as to
who are to compose his cabinet.
The Memphis Post Of the lth inst,
says: We happen to know that,
a few evenings ago, one Of Grants
favorite generals called upon him
and had a long social chat. The
conversation was very free, and
among other topics, the visitor
venturcd to mention the cabinet.
The President-elect promptly re
sponded L have my cabinet Sc

living man knows the name Of one

"This article, so far as we are con,

r. S. PARHAM, attorney at law"
publishes a card in the Memphis
appeal in which he attempts TO ex
plain away his testimony before the
investigating committee, but his
floundering only makes the matter
worse. He divulged some very
ugly things in his examination by
the committee in regard TO anumbeI
Ofgentlemen in this State and theil
connection with the school fund,
and very naturally these gentlemen
are squirming terribly under his ex-
posure, His card, under the circum.
stances, will win for him the con
tempt of every honest, straight
forward man who reads it.

time to decline being elected director Of the
