Notwithstanding the warm and earnest
solicitation upon him by friends from
all parts of the First Congressional dis
trct to make the canvass for Congress
Capt. w. &. Clark declines to enter the
canvass. We know these solicita ,ions
have been earnest and frequent, aud il
has required a great deal Of discretion
on the part OF Capt. Clark not TO enter
the ea'--@As-. Capt Clark believes, like
the most OF the voters in the First Con
gressioual district, that Col. Grassland
has discharged his duties faithfully and
recognizes the fact that a reelection
would be very gratifying to Col Cross
land at this time, and is unwilling to be.
put in opposition to his election. He
returns his heartfelt thanks to his friends
throughout the district for the partiality
aud confidence they have reposed in him,
aud will, during the Presidential eau
vass, If he eau find time, address his fel-
low citizens on the political issues of the
day. He is willing to do anything IN
his power to aid in the defeat of Graut
and his party We have known Capt
Clark long, aud have ever admired his
independence and frankness-have lis
tened to the eloquenee that fell from his
lips in political debate, and have seen
him battle for the right, and we say to-
day that the time will soon come that he
will represent this district in the Con
gress OF the United States. The preju
dices that have been in this district
against his "pretensions," as they are
called, will die away, and those who
have opposed him strongest will be his
warmest friends. a man Of his natural
ability, generous qualities, temperate
habits, and sound views on all questions
that agitate the public miud, and com
ing as he does from the plow handle
must climb the ladder OF fame. To
know him is TO love him. But we have
said more than we intended. We are
glad that he has concluded not to make
the race against the gallant Grassland,
and that he believes that the Colonel
should be endorsed BY the district. No
one denies but Capt Clark has host of
friends and admirers in the district that
have been urging him to make the can
vass this time, but his convictions of
duty to his party, and his kind feelings
for Col. Grassland. impels him to dis
regard their wishes-Tobacco Plant.

our congressional RACE.

The Princeton Banner, being called
upon by the Kentuckian, as to its motives
for supporting Grassland, explains. The
Trigg County Democrat responds in q
precisely similar tone:
THE Paducah Kentuckian of the goth
ult., has long article on the race for
Congress, and after mentioning by name
the various papers in this district that
are for Grassland, it says: "What mo.
tives the Hickman COURIER, Columbus
Dispatch, Trigg County Democrat, aud
the Princeton Banner had to come out
for Grassland We do not know. Perhaps
they will explain in due time"
so far as we are concerned we are be
holden to no mau or set of men for our
views, preferences or actions. Our read
ers will remember the fact that on or
about the first of March last, we sug
gested to the Democracy of the District
the denomination and re election of
Judge Grassland. We did so for many
reasons, some of which are the following:
First, because be had made US faithful
and efficient representative. Second, be
cause he was worthy of and deserved an
Endorsement by his constituents. Third,
because the experience he has obtained
by two years service at Washington has
fitted him for better and more efficient
work 10 the future. Fourth, because he
is the equal, If not the superior, of any
man in the Purchase whose name has
been mentioned in connection with the
race. Fifth, because We like him, and
his record and believed that it would be
we'll for the District to send him back 10
Washington for another term. We have
always had our preferences of men, and
always expect to have, aud intend boldly
to express them. We believed that 9th
er candidates would be in the field, and
suspected who they would be, aud we're
determined, so far as we could in our
humble way. to let them know that the
people of this and adjoining counties
we're for Grassland over any one else, 1t
he desired re election. As yet We have
seen no reason to change our minds or
shift our humble support to another, but
intend to work, earnestly, fairly and per-
for his recollection"

How a President is Elected.

Each State is entitled to as many elec
tors Of President and Vice-President as
1t has Senator'S and Representatives in
Congress.
In each State the electors are chosen
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, must have q major
'ty of all the electors. The electoral
coilege as now constituted, consists OF
3l7-l59 therefore, sre necessary for a
choice.
Ii there be three candidates for Presi-
dent and neither of them receives ma
Jority of the electoral college, then there
IS no choice, and the election goes to the
ouse OF Representatives.
Ibe House must con6ne their choice
to the three highest candidates voted for
by the electors. The Representatives
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. The majority of the
state delegation casts its vote. A can
dIdate, to be successful, must receive a
majority of all the States, or nineteen
States. If the delegation is divided, the
vote OF the State cannot be cast and is
therefore lost.
AS the present House is constituted,
and 1t is upon this House that the elec-
tloD Will devolve in the event there is no
electlon by the people, nominally the
Republicans holds twenty States; but Its
majority in ten of these it holds by the
slender tenure of one single vote.

Manageable balloon.

The advocates Of the possibility of
utilizing the balloon for the every day
purpose of life have been greatly en-
couraged by the result Of experiments
lately made in Paris by NJ. Dupuy de
LONE, and recently communicated TO the
Academy of Sciences. This gentleman
is an eminent French engineer, and we'll
acquainted with both the theory and
practice of his profession and his at
tention was especially called during the
siege of Paris, to the importance Of hav-
ing balloon which possessed some pow
er Of steerage.
He has completed the first construc-
ton according to his new plan, and made,
as he claims, entirely successful expert
ments with it, The balloon is 10 the
shape of an enormous egg, the longer
axis horizontal, with an QbloDg car sus-
pended from is. The total length is
lis feet, and its diameter at the point Of
greatest circumference 40 feet. The
Tudder by which the balloon is steered
is a plain triangular surface made ofun-
vanished calico, and constructed as to
turn easily on its forward extremity. The
car is Of wicker work, contaiDinga wind
less for the screw, eight men to manage
it, aud is capable of carrying fourteen
persons.
The rudder is fixed to the balloon It.
self, and the screw is below it and i'm.
mediately attached to the car, and hav-
ing only two blades, so that when the
ground is touched they can be placed
horizontally to escape injury. The wind
less which turns the screw is worked by
four to eight men. The envelope Of the
balloon is composed Of white silk.
The constructor does not pretend to
be able to make a direct movement
against the wind, but only to deviate
from direct set when running before it.
He expects to be able to tack to the right
or left, but does not hope to be able to
beat to the windward. There is second
balloon attachment to the bottom of the
main balloon, forming a kind of COM
partmeut occupying about one tenth Of
the cubic space of the balloon and serv-
ing to keep it stiff aud of the required
shape.
In the experiment trips of NJ. DeLome
a half gale was blowing, and the result
answered entirely to his expectations.
The screw drove the balloon about FIVE
miles an hour quicker than the wind was
blowing and by the use of the rudder
Ihe course. of the balloon could be alter-
ed eleven degrees either way from the
set of the wind. .-HdJper's Magazine.

Hickman railroad south.

The Hickman COURIER grows face
tious over the idea Of the citizens of
Troy building horse railroad. 10 con-
meet with the Memphis and Paducah.
You have got it wrong neighbor; the
citizens speak of building short, but
full grown railroad, to be run by engine,
steam &c, as other railroads are run.
But this does not necessarily interfere
with Hiekman's project, but, upon the
contrary, we assure our neigh Dor that
Troy will meet Hickman in any enter
prise looking TO the construction of a
road to connect the two points, and will
contribute literally to consummate the
ends desired Troy Times.

Judge Davis DecIInes.

The following is copy Of the letter

dent of the Columbus Convention, de-
cliniug the nomination:
BLOOMINGTON, June 81. 1S72.-Hon.
+. NJ. Cbamberlin, President Columbus
Convention, Boston, Mass-My Dear
Sir: The National Convention of Labor
Reformers, on the 22d Of February last,
honored me with a nomination as their
candidate for the Presidency. Having
regarded that movement as the initiation
of policy and purpose to unite the va
rious political elements IN a compact op-
position, | consented to the use of my
name before the Cincinnati Convention,
where 4 distinguished citizen of New
York was nominated. Under these cir
cumstances, l deem it proper to retire
absolutely from the Presidential contest,
and thus leave the friends who we're gen.
erous enough to offer me their voluntary
support free to obey their convictions Of
duty, uufettered by any supposed Obliga-
ton.
Sympathizing earnestly with all just
and proper measures by which the con-
dition of the laboring class may be ele-
waited aud improved, l am, with great
respect, your fellow citizen,

The RIg-Tree Hotel.

Ofall the hotels 10 the world, the very
oldest is lonely one in California, on
the road between San Jose and Santa
Cruz. Imagine ten immense trees stand
ing q few feet apart and hollow inside;
these arc the hotel, neat, breezy, aud ro-
mantle. The largest tree is sixty-fve feet
around, and contains sitting>room and
bureau or Bacchus wherefrom is dispens-
ed that thing that biteth and stiugeth.
All about this tree is a garden of flow
ers and evergreeDs. The drawing room
is a bower made of red wood, everg-ens,
and madroua branches. For bed cham
bers there are nine great hollow trees
whitewashed or papered, and having
doors cut out to fit the shape of holes.
Literature finds. a place in a leaning
stump, dubbed the library" If it we're
not for that same haunt of Bacchus, it
is certain that the guests Of the forest
establishment would feel like nothing
so much as dryads.

HENRY WILSON.
A Picture of the ROned Man by
Gath.

Another State which lost the Vice.
Presidency was Kentucky. Gen Johr
NJ. Harlan was supported by BristoW
and 6ne class Of young men from that
Stata, and Harlan himself impressed me
as an amiable, considerate and statesman
like man; but, what had the Philadel.
phia convention to do as q matter oi
choice? 1t had nothing to do but to
carry out its directions, work with wLiI
suspended over its head, and nominate
for Que esd of its ticket Aganemnon
and for the other btned man Henry
Wilson would make the weakest Vice
President ever seen in this country. He
has not a particle of constitution adapta-
BILE to the exercise of parliamentary au-
thority, and if two snais were at his feet,
and he were armed with a gun, be could
not keep them in order, and would be
afraid to mash them. a more shining
case of azote and imbecility can hardly
be found. His idea of government is
that mankind can be gammoned; and
the other day he made a call upon the
Liberal Executive Committee, in New
York city, as if entertaining the singu
lar nOuon tnat sucn Vlslt NOuiu eAcoSe
him from criticism in this campaign.
Such timid overturing will not avail. All
that can be said of Henry Wilson is,
that he is poor and agreeable. If the
State of Massachusetts, did not stand be-
hind him with some powerful party au-
thority, he would be human dish rag.
Nature has portrayed the mans disPosi-
ton we'll in his lineaments. He looks
now like colossal infant and ought to
be dandled at the. presidential breast,
rather than set over the Senate to carry
out that verse of Scripture where it says
that the lion will lie down with the lamb,
and a little child shall lead them. 1t is
cruel, besides, to set him up in that
chair, and Lot let him chuck anybody
under the chin for four hours at a time.
