Please to Lie with Uniformity.

The Portland Press, in commenting up
on the Congressional Convent ion in this
city, says
The nomination Of Pike at Bel fast by the

ratification Of what has been in process of
fF0dP for long time For four wears Mr. Pike
has had his price, and the Democracy at last
agreed to pay it. They could have had him
earlier at the same cost,

Semh'ed 1t was understood that the only QueS-
ton to he settled was the amount of clean cash.
The above is very unskillml, and shows
a reprehensible lack of drll in the use of
one OF the main weapons of the Grant
army. The Portland paper asserts that
the Democracy bought Pike, while Rock
land is equally positive that Pike bought
the Democracy Even Ananias and
Sapphira, the great progenitors of the
tribe, told the same story. We suggest
that our radical contemporaries have Il
private and confidential meeting some
where, and settle upon line of lying for
the fifth district, so as to avoid these awful
mistakes.

HOW A PRESIDENT Is ELECTED

The question is often asked how a
President is elected in the event of nc
choice by the people direct. As peo-
pie forget such details, we briefly re-
cite the modus operandi:
Each State is entitled to as many
electors for President aud Vice Pres
ident as it has Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress.
In each State the electors are chos-
en- by plurality vote. That is, if
there are three sets of electors voted
for. the set having the highest number
of votes is chosen.
But candidate for President. in or
der to be successful, mus. have a ma
iority of all the electors. The elec-
toral college, as now constituted, con-
sists of 81; lo9, therefore, are neces-
sarv for a choice. 81 81.
If thsre be three candidates for Pres
ident and neither of them receives a
majority ofthe electoral college, then
there is no choice. and the election
goes to the House Of Representatives
The House must confine its choice
to the three higeest candidates voted
for by the electors. The Representa-
tives vote by States, and each State
has but one vote; SO that the power of
Delaware is as great as that of New
York. Each State has one vote. A
candidate, to be successful, must re-
ceive majority of all the States, or
nineteen States. If the delegation is
tied, the vote Of the State cannot be
cast, and is therefore lost.
As the present House is constituted,
and it is upon this House that the cleo
ton will devolve in the event there is
no election by the people, nominally
the Republicans hold twenty States;
but its majority in ten OF theseit holds
by the slender tenure of one single
vote Should there be Greeley man
found in two of these ten States, Gen
Grant could not be elected.

THE Traders, in their warfare on
our Tariff, demand that Salt shall be put
in the free list, but object that Tea and
Coffee shall be made free This incon
sistency hetrays them. 1t demonstrates
that Free Trade is war Of British capi-
tai and labor on American capital and
labor, and that the reduction Of our Ia
riT rates is not sought in the interest Of
our own people, but in the interest of
foreigners. The British do not produce
Tea and Coffee, nor have they the mono.
poly of carrying and supplying these com
mcdities. If they had, their busy agents
IN the United States would have made
the country ring with howl against the
wicked Tariff, which taxes the.poor mans
Tea and Coffee. But the British largely
produce Salt in the West Indies in Eng
land, and il. Canada, and they want the
American market for it exclusively. So
they oppose a reduction Of the duties on
Tea and Coffee, lest that might satisfy

Two-fIths of the Salt now consumed in
