THE BUSINESS MEN SPEAK.

The meeting of the friends of the Adj
ministration of President Grant in the
Cooper Institute in New York on last
Wednesday evening was called by the
most prominent bankers, merchants, and
manufacturers of New York, none of
whom are "Oftice holders" The commit
tee of arrangements was +. d. Morgan,
Geo. Opdyke, and Henry CIews, men who
stand at the head of the banking houses of
New York city. We see among the call
ers of the meeting such men as Peter
Cooper, VIM. Z. Dodge, Shepard Knapp
Edwards Pieerepont, James Gordon Ben
nett, James w. Beakman, w. H. Wander
bilt, VIM NJ Vermilye, H. i. Clafiin,
Theo. Roosevelt, Levi p. Morton, AleXan-
der Stuart, ThurIow Weed, Robert
Winthrop Il Co., II. Hoe {, Co., Hon.
Theo. w. Dwight, Jackson 5. Shultz, Geo.
NJ. Van Mort, J. & w. Seligman and hun
dreds of other names equally well and ia
vorably known in New York business cir
cles. These names fill nearly a column in
the Times and Herald.
We have not up to this writing been IA
vOred with much OF an account of the
meeting by the Democratic press agent at
Washington. His noon dispatch, howev-
er, is to the point. 1t says Cooper Insti-
tute was damned" from which we
might infer that the meeting was what
might have been expected large gath
ering of patriotic citizens and of men
largely interested in the business OPP
erations of the great metropolis of the
continent. They are not politicians, 'Of
flee holders" or ''Office seekers" They
are men of intelligence who know that i'll
the past three years, through an honest
and able administration of public affairs
the country has prospered. They believe
that continuance of the present financial
policy would promote the interests of all
classes, and that change might and prob
ably would bring about revulsion, con-
tention and turmoil that would prove
disastrous to the country. This feel
ing is very strong among the peo-
pie and will do more to mould pub
lie opinion than buncombe resolutions
and platforms, "Let well enough alone"
is Il safe maxim, and with business men
who care little for parties or politicians, it
has great weight. We take the Cooper In
stitute meeting, then, as the voice of the
business men of the country i'll favor of an
administration under which the country
has prospered, and the national honor
been maintained

How a President is Elected.

The question is ofte. asked as to
how a President Of the United States
is elected Each State is entitled TO
as many electors for President and
Vice President as it has Senators and
Representatives 10 Congress. Hence
New York has thirty-fve electors
In each State the electors are chosen
by plurality vote. That is, if there
are three sets of electors voted for
those having the highest numbe of
votes are chosen.
But a candidate for President, in
order To be successful, must have
majority of the electors. If there
are three candidates for President
and none of them receive a majority
of the Electoral College. there is no
choice, and the election goes to the
ii use of Representatives.
The House must confne their
choice to the three highest candidates
voted for by the electors The Rrp-
resentatives vote by States and each
State has but one vote; so that the
power of Delaware is as great as New
York. A candidate to be successful
mr. st receive a majority of all the
States, or nineteen States. If the
delegation is divided equally the vote
OF the State cannot be cast, and there
fore is lost.

Summers Expunging Law.

Senator Sumner adheres to his dec
Iaration, made before he went to Eu-
rope, that "the time of the soldier had
passed" He wants the names of re-
bellion battles not continued in the
army register, or placed on regi-
mental colors, where they will offend
the eyes Of those were traitors. He
asks the oblivion of past differences.
If be could erase the scars from the
Union soldiers if he could restore
those who died in defense of the flag;
liQuidate the pubic debt, and blot
out his own speeches against slavery,
be might ask us to forget the rebell-
ion. The quickest way for him to
reach the desired object is to stop
talking about it, and propose some
practical legislation to promote the
prosperity Of the country. He stirs
up these memories he arouses and
inhames the public mind, and is an
obstinate obstacle to peace. Let him
expunge hia own speeches, and then
we will talk Of forgetting history

personal significance in MANY of the
devices which surrounded his bier.
AT the back of the pulpit, under the
words ut is DONE" with which his
life closed. was a wreath of ripened
wheat, a fit emblem of the rich har-
vest the keen sickle of death had so
lately Ieaped. Below this was a
shield Of white flowers with the arms
OF the state of New York in purple
blossoms, the gift of the Common
Council. Still below the last an ak

of cross. a magnificent arch of.
white flowers presented by the Ia

wrought 10 crimson blossoms the
legend II know that my Redeemer

the at is done" were repeated again
and again in decorations in all sorts
of devices. AT the right Of the pull
pit stood another gilt from the COM
mon Council, large stand, of which
the whole top was composed of the
choicest flowers, rosebuds and came-
las and tube roses, surmounted by
crown wrought from the same love-
ly blossoms. A similar stand and
crown was the gift of Mayor Hall,
and another came from the Lincoln
Club. The Lotos. the Union League
and the Herald clubs were represent
cd by appropriate offerings. From
the German Greeley and Brown
Club came an immense quill wrought
10 the choicest flowers. One of the
most remarkable of tributes was a
pillow composed of cameias and white
roses, with ground work of violets
and other modest blossoms. This
beautiful design was the gift of the
Tribune employees. Among the most
CONSPICUOUS offerings was magnifi-
cent floral tablet three and one-half
feet wide, standing about six fe,
from the floor, and presenting the
appearance of the picture supported
by columns, of which the frame con-
sisted of violets and tea rosebuds.
The ground of the tablet was framed
of the choicest white flowers, inscrib.

that my Redeemer yeth" On the
reverse were the letters H. G and
the motto "In Memoriam." The in-

Judge Nelson Resigned.

The President has appointed Hon..
Ward Hunt, of Utica, New York, 70
succeed Judge Nelson, lately resign
ed, on the Supreme Bench. The re-
tiriBg Judge has held that position
over a quarter of q century, having
been appointed from New York by
President Tyler. He is an old man,
OF many eminent qualities. but who
it may be said has long outlived his
usefulness. 1t will be remembered,
during the days of fancy and Sla-
very, Judge Nelson's concur ent
opinion with the Chief Justice in the
famous bred Scott case wherein they
decided that 'Tf Congress possesses
power under the Constitution to
abolish slavery in q Territory, it
must necessarily possess the like
power to establish it," The North
looked upon the decision as Infamous.
Slavery was considered o great
wrong, and coording to such reason.
ing il Congress had the power by leg
itlation to prohibit any injustice, it
had the same right to establish it.
Horace Greeley's whitening criticism
upon this decision is yet fresh to the
readers of his Tribune and the
american ConAct." He said: III,
then, Congress should prohibit adul-
terry, theft, burglary, murder, or 9TH
or crime in the Territories, it would
thereby establish it's right to reward
and encourage those crimes" 1t is
we'll that Judge Nelson has retired.
and it would have been fortunate for
the country had he left the Supreme
Bench many years sooner. The APP
pointee, Ward HUT, is spoken of as
q gentleman of spotless character,
and rare literary and legal ability.

HOW TO 60 WEST.

This is an inquiry which every one should
have trulhfully answered before he starts on
his journey. and little care taken in exami-
nation of routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The Burlington Route" has achieved a
splendid reputation in the last two years as
the leading Passenger Route to the west.
Starting at Burlington it runs direct through
Southern Iowa TO Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections to California and the Terri
tories; and passengers starting from Lancas-
ter, on their way westward cannot do better
than to take the C. B. & @. and Burlington
Route.
This line has published a pamphlet called
Chow TO go West" which contains much val
liable information; large correct map of the
Great West, which can be obtained free of
charge by addressing the General Passenger

81. CRoIx LAND GRANT.--This
question will likely be revived at
the next session of the Legislature,
and a strong effort be made to pro-
cure division of the grant. II will
be- remembered that the grant was
originally made to build line of road
from Hudson to Bayfield-a distance
of about 40 miles-.and the time CIV
on to complete the road expired when
the work had only begun. Congress
at its last session refused to extend
the time, and the lands have fallen
into the possession of the State.
The grant is estimated now to be
worth ten millions of dollars.
