We give below a statement of the

the computation is carried through
to the first of January, 1873, as the
bonded debts fall due in July or jan

venient to make the computation
thus. The statement, then, may be
taken as showing what will be the

INEVITABLE figures win make
Greeley next President of the Uni
ted States. They show majorities
that cannot be reached nor materi-
ally affected by the corruption ma
chinery at Washington. We make
every allowance and the most liber-
al concessions to the Radical side,
and after doing that we throw in a
few States for the purpose of show
ing a decent opposition TO Greeley.
Here are the figures: For Greeley
New York, 80 electoral votes llli-
nois, 2l; Indiana, 10; Kentucky, y;
Tennessee, u; Virginia, Il; GeOr-
gia, II; Missouri, 10; Alabama, 10;
North Carolina, 10; New Jersey, 3;
Louisiana, s; Texas, 8; Arkansas, 6;
California, 6; Connecticut, 6; West
Virginia, 5; n. Hampshire, ;; Dele
ware, 8; Oregon, 8; Nevada, 8. These
are the States certain for Greeley.
They Efgure up" two hundred and
twenty-five votes. Now let ms see
the other side. We will grant GTahf
the following States, though the al
lowaAce is liberal and may not be
justified by the people on the fifth OF
4NOfNAAOCl Il lOIluds a, luWut II :
Main, z; Massachusetts, IS; Michi-
gan, II; Nebraska, 3; Pennsylvania.
2S; Rhode Island, 4; South Carolina,
Z; Vermont, 3; which "figures up'
for Grant total of 81 votes. The
following States we call doubtful,
and there is as good reason to ex-
peet we shall get them as that they
viii go the other way: Minnesota,
5; Ohio, %; Wisconsin, 10; Kansas,
5, making a total of 4S doubtful
votes, all OF which being given to
Grant would fail 10 bring him up 10
Within over seventy votes of Gree
ley. Let the fight go bravely on,
and we shall beat the Radicals two

Mr.. EDITOR Can hope to reach
the ear of the Democracy of Hickman
and Fulton counties through the col
umns of your paper, and that too upon
matter of. Legislative courtesy,
when | write so many months in ad-
vance of any actual contest. | choose
to write noto, because there are no can
didates actually in the field, aud my
purposes can not be interpreted as in
the interest of any particular man
When the county of Fulton was first
established, the courtesy of alterna-
ting the member OF the Legislature,
was adopted, and for many years faith
fully adhered to by the party in both
counties. This was equitable and right.
Each county. having separate county
organizations, have to some extent sep
arate interest, local pride, and faithful
servants whom it deires to honor and
advance. OF late years, from causes not
necessary to discuss Hickman county
has enjoyed the membership-for the
last two terms, and by force of her
larger vote, can retain it ad iufnitum, if
her people so will it. Is the old Gus
tom between the counties to be broken
up or Ignored, l hcpe not. The
reasons, and reciprocal interest for
It's observance, are numerous but need
no: now be mentioned. Fulton county
has supported Hickman county men
for o4her positions, the Senate, Con-
gress, the Judges6Sp, etc, with a una
niui'y equal to their own county. II
we are to be perpetually tabooed by
Hickman, let Us know il and perhaps
we can study alliances in the future
from whom we can expect magnamity.
Let Hiekmrn county men speak out
now, before aspirants are announced,
and l trust you will allow them space
in your valuable paper. If you will
publish this shall be much obliged,

Territortal ENtension.

AsHINGToN, Nov. l7.-ThOse who
sit at the right hand of the President,
state that territorial extension will be
tie keynote of the second term of
Grants A ADMINISTRATION It is said that
the President points to our present ter
ritorial acquisitions, especially in the
Southern direction. as being so valu-
Gble that the people would not part
iiflr them at the present time for
thousand times the amount Of the orig
nal purchase money. So far as the
Norihern frontier is concerned, the
PRESIDENT Is content to await the deyel
opment of the annexation sentiment
ielong the Northern people. Hethiuks
that Beu Butler. ia his Canadian an
nexation resolution, was simply few
years ahead of the opinion of the
Northern people. San Domingo, as a
special scheme by itself, will not re-
ceive special mention in the forthcoming
message of the President He thinks
this latter subject can be postponed for
a year, or at least until anew Congress
has been elected.

The prophecies are certainly being
fulfilled. The cable dispatches to
New York, Nov 60, give accounts Of
i great hurricane in Sicily, which des-
troyed the town of Pazzolo.
There has been no instance Of such
q calamity within the memory OF any
living man. No earthquake ever
caused so much destruction There
are houses ruined. houses fallen to the
very ground walls eIefs from eod 70
end, walls hanging outwards as if to
rest on adjoining houses. There are
roofs wholly swept away, sunken vaults,
balconies torn from their places.
window shutters either entirely carried
of or hanging loose from the walls.
Lamp posts forced from their sockets,
and uprooted trees. Along the north
east side Of the town not a single house
rcmains. Without exaggeration, one
third OF the town is dismantled aud
more than thousand families are lit
orally without home, aud about one
thousand more having only little
corner Of what was once their house to
shelter them. The dead number thirty
two. aud the serious hurt about half 4
score
