The Electoral College.

The electoral vote of the United States, as is
well known, is equivalent to the sum of the
Representatives and Senators of each State in
Congress. The number of electors required
the present year to constitute "the Electoral
College" will be three hundred and sixty-six,
or forty-nine more than in the last two presi-
Dental elections. This additional number of
forty nine represents precisely the increase of
Representatives. in the lower branch of Congress
by the apportionment law. This is important
to be borne in mind, as sundry journals have
unwittingly misstated the aggregate electoral
vote, and, consequently, the number of votes
that will be required to elect President, which
is one hundred and eighty-four, .or majority
of three hundred and sixty-six. We append
table of the comparative representation in Con-
gress, and of the electoral vote as now fixed by
law:

BG Under the heading "Some of Grant.

BG Under the heading "Some of Grants
Doings," the Atlanta Constitution describes
the following incident of Southern experience
under military rule: "There was an affecting
scene in the Udited States Court, in Montgo-
merry county, Alabama, the other day, when
the defendants in the case Of the United States
VS.. Young ct al., for alleged Ku-kluxing, were
called up for sentence. The verdict had been
rendered hardly fifteen minutes when the
court inquired if the defendants had anything
to say why sentence should not be awarded
against them. The old man, Young, in a
calm and manly manner, free from bragadocio,
protested his innocence of the charge, but as
he referred to his wife and four daughters de-
pendent on him, now sixty-three years of age,
his voice was broken, and there was not in
the courtroom a manly heart but what was
wrung with sorrow as the picture arose be-
fore them of this aged man in far off peni-
Tertiary, and now his widowed wife and help
less daughters, sheterless and friendless, dri-

VALUE OF HIcKoRY.-A correspondent OF
the Staunton Spectator, who has been attract
ed by the wanton waste of hickory as an ar
ticle of fuel, says that ga cord of this kind OF
wood, instead of bringing to the owner four
or five dollars for fuel, if converted into AK
handles, or spokes for carriage wheels, or
other useful purposes, might have been worth,
probably, $40 or $50. These, too, are arti-
Giles for which there is a constant demand a.
mong our people. You can hardly go into a
store, in the town or country, where such ar
ticles are sold, without seeing large bundles,
ofhandles, spokes, &C., offered for sale. Why,
he asks, should they not be made here? Why
should not the hickory wood of our own neigh
borhood be made available for the supply of
the wants of our own people? Why should
not our own people pocket the profits of this
branch of manufacturer" Echo answers,
"Why?"

Going for Greeley.

A letter has been written by Mr.. w. N.
Saunders, prominent colored citizen and
Custom house officer of Baltimore to Hon.
Henry Stockbridge, chairman ofthe Baltimore
delegation to the late Republican Convention
returning thanks for the honor conferred by
placting his name on the Grant electoral ticket
for Maryland, and declining the same.
10 conclusion he says: 81 shall, in my hum
BILE sphere, advocate the obliteration of old
party lines and the sustenance of new party,
so composed as to give promise Of successful
ly mastering the problems of the present and
future, under the leadership of that grand old
veteran ofequal rights, Horace Greeley, whose
record and whose whole life is sufficient
guarantee that the rights of all men will be
protected under his administration.

VitaIiZe the HaiP.-Why does tho ba;

VitaliZe the Hair.-Why does the hair
become harsh and dry-why does it fall out
why does it become gray? Simply because the
life has gone out of it. The fbers draw susie
nance from the scalp as the grass draws ali
ment from the soil, and when the supply of
nutriment is cut off in either case the product
withers and dies. At the first symptom of de-
cay therefore, the unfed or half-fed roots of
the hair should be refreshed and reinforced
with LYON S KATHA1RoN, the only preparation
which will nourish the filaments and keep them
to suffer from a deficiency of their natural
stimulant. AS long as the Kathairon is faith
fully used, with a proper degree of friction,
morning and evening, so long will it be i'm
possible for the hair to whiten or fall out from

Greater Indebtedness of the South

Greater Indebtedness of the South
than all the rest of the Union $67, 1853, 1853
Thus it will be seen that by the aid of car
pet-bag rule the debts of the ten Southern
States are more than the twenty-seven other
States combined.
YET it is urged by some Democrats that
none but straightout, aat-footed Democrat
ought to stretch out his hand to assist our
Southern people to get rid of the scoundrels
who take such great delight in robbing them.
Or in other words, that the only way in which
to free our Southern friends is to break up the
power which assists to trample them down,
but that, should the Democratic National Con-
vention either nominate or recommend the
Democracy to support Mr.. Greeley for Presi-
dent, these Democrats do not want to see the
Democracy support Mr.. Greeley, because at
a former day Mr.. Greeley was an enemy to
some of the doctrines professed by the Demo-
cracy. That is to say, that the Democracy
are the only patriotic people in the country.
Mr.. Greeley processes to be patriotic in this
purpose also, and thousands of Republicans
believe with him. We think it matters but
little whether Mr.. Greeley wants high or low
tariff, &C., &C., when the foundation of our
government is in such danger. Let US first
repair that, then we can talk about tariff, or
any other policy which our people ought to
pursue. The South asks US to help get the
vampires out of the midst SO she can recu-
perate. Then she will be able to discharge
her duties to the government. By the use of
Mr.. Greeley's name she says we can do it.
Let US try for her sake.-Md. journal.

B6FT The subject of habitual drunkenness
and the means of lessening the terrible vice,
was recently referred to committee of the
British House of Commons. After full ex-
animation of the matter, chat committee re-
port, as their opinion, that forty per cent. oil
the habitual drunkards in the Kingdom can
be cured by excluding them from access to
liquor; but they do not recommend prohib-
tory legislation. On the contrary, they sug-
gest that there be established asylums Of two
classes that in those of the first class, drum
kards may become voluntary inmates; but
having once come under the authority of the
institution, of their own voltion, may be de-
tanned by compulsion for limited period
To the asylums of the second class it is sug-
gested that persons be committed who have
been convicted of drunkenness not less than
three times, and confined for not more than
one year.

THE EXHIBITION.
East Tennessee Female Institute.

The friends of tkis fine institution turned out
by scores last night notwithstanding the in
clement weather, to witness the exhibition
given by Prof Buffers pupils. One thing
which attracted the attention of every one pres
ent was the works of art hanging upon the
walls, as specimens of the skill of
the pupils in Miss Portals class in drawing.
Two prizes were offered at the commencement
of the present term, one for the primary and
one for the higher class. Quite q number of
misses contended for these prizes, and no one of
the many has any reason to be ashamed of what
she presented. The com mittee to award these
Jno. Fouche and James III. Sturgis. The prize
in the primary class was awarded to Miss Lulu
Butler. The prize in the higher class was taken
by Miss Annie Rodgers Handsome prizes have
been offered for the ensuing term which COM
mences to-day.
The exercises of the exhibition were made up
Of music, declarations, dialogues, compositions,
&c. Where more than forty young ladies and
misses took part in the exercises, and where
each and every one did their part so well, it
would be hard to particulariZe. Suffice TO say,
that each one showed culture Of an order cred
liable to themselves and to their instructors.
The entertainment was one which all present
enjoyed, as was manifested by the applause that
greeted each performance.
The proceeds of the exhibition are to be APP
piled to purchasing additional furniture for the
Art Hall of the Institute, for which very worthy
purpose we trust handsome sum was realized
The friends and patrons of the institution
should see that Prof. Butler and his accom-
plished assistants are furnished with everything
to make the school room comfortable and at
tractive, for they are certainly doing q good
work in our community.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan, Is, 1872.
The demand for corn, oats and hay continues
active, exceeding the supply. This condition of
things naturally tends to advance prices. We
should profit in this by the experience of last
year If prices are advanced orders will be
withdrawn Some are already called in antici-
patton of the advance. Let us have the surplus
produce while we can sell it at home for the
cash. If we drive away the trade with prices
above present rates, we will then be forced to
seek market and to sell where we can, and will
have to pay commissions and other expenses,
and find that our produce does not net as much
as we now get at home.
