DIVIDING THE HoNoRs. The first ballot OF
the Electoral College (Greeley and Brown
electors) Of Missouri resulted in eight votes
for Gratz Brown for President, six for Thomas
A. Hendricks and one for David Davis, while
for Vice President Gratz Brown had six votes,
George w. Julian five, John NJ Palmer three
and w. S. Groesbeck one. These electors
were chosen by the popular vote of Missouri
to give the electoral vote Of the State to Gree
ley for President and Brown for Vice Presi-
dent but the death of Mr. Greeley throws
them oil into confusion We find similar dis
agreements, tco, among the Greeley and Brown
electors of several other States. It is apparent
from all this that had Mr.. Greeley been elected
by the voice of the people in the choice Of the
electors his death might have resulted in the
election Of some man by the electors for Presi-
dent never contemplated by the people. The
only way to avoid such difficulties hereafter
lies in an amendment Of the constitution which
will provide for the election of the President
and Vice President, against oil probable con-
tingences, directly by the vote of the people.

Tns New saPrense Judge ana Oar
Now Minister 10 Rmasia

New Minister to Russia.
The nominations by the President Of Wsrd
Hunt of New York, as Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States. in place of the yen-
cradle Justice Nelson, of New York, resigned.
and of James L. Orr, of South Carolina. as Min.
lister to Russia, will meet with general approval.
Judge Hunt, of the Commission of Appeals
of this State has the reputation of iurist
well versed in the law, and will, doubtless,
prove himself equal to the highest require
ments of the tribunal of last resort of the
judicial department Of the national govern
ment.
Mr.. Orr, we conjecture. owes his appoint.
ment as Minister 10 Russia in no small degrees
to his services in South Carolina in the work
OF Southern reconstruction. He was, before
the war, for several terms member of Con-
gress from South Carolina and Speaker of the
House, for the first Congress under Bu-
chanan's administration. During the war he
was with the Southern Oonfederacy, but after
the war, from his example. his influence and
his arguments in favor OF submission to the
great political issues of the day. as settled by
the war, he contributed much to smooth
the way in South Carolina to recon-
struction as now established. Doubtless
the consideration of his services in
this work and Of the good effect in the South
OF recognizing such conspicuous example Of
Southern conservatism has had much to do
with this appointment Mr.. Orr, in Con-
gress, proved himself good parliamentarian.
As Speaker of the House, without possessing
the commanding abilities Of Henry Clay Or
the brilliant qualities of Banks, he discharged
the delicate duties OF the position to the satis-
faction of all parties. AS diplomat, though
lacking in the accomplishments, learning and
experience of such men as Charles Francis
Adams and Bancroft, he possesses much Of
that natural good sense, that sterling patriot
ism and that broad sagacity which in WASH
burne have proved equal to the most difficult
diplomatic emergencies. Mr. Orr is man
some sixty years of age, ripened in political
experience at home, conservative in the beat
sense OF the word, safe man, cool in delibera-
ton, but firm in action. Our friendly rela-
tions with Russia are so securely established
that only Hotspur can disturb them Mr.
Orr may be relied upon to maintain them,
even in the face Of Catacazy imbroglio at
Washington, if the recurrence of such thing
may be considered within the range of possi-
biites. We think, in word, that Mr.. Orr
will prove safe aud acceptable man at st.
Petersburg.

WHAT FALLING OFF Was THERE The
ladies and the connosseurs have been excited
recently by descriptions Of the great Stanton
ruby, said to be worth two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars and to be one Of the finest
gems in the world. Dark beauties have, no
doubt, sighed as they pictured the splendor its
rich color would impart to their charms, fash
ing from brow or neck. More mercenary
minds have, no doubt, reflected on the profits
they might realize out of it as they dreamed
of its weight and purity. But, alas those
stupid, nlatter-of-fact fellows, the lapidaries
have been testing the coveted gem and have
made the cruel discovery that it is soft gar
net, worth one hundred dollars. What pity
for the owner that the illusion could not have
been kept up, at least until the famous ruby
had changed hands

Congress Yestcrday-The New Sl0Op
OF War.

Although the Senate has not achieved much
beyond laying trains for future oratorical ex-
plosions, the House Of Representatives already
presents us with an important bill which it
has passed. The original proposition of the
Naval Committee was considerably modified,
and in certain points we think justly. Per-
haps the least reasonable was the reduction
of the number of vessels from ten to
six, because If, as generally admitted, we
sadly need serviceable addition to our navy,
other conditions being satisfied, it is unwise
to defer the construction Of the required
number. Mr.. Garfeld's amendment requir-
ing full plans and estimates to be reported to
Congress and an appropriation made before
work is commenced, was much more to the
point, as the necessity for strict super
vision over these details is too well
known to need comment. The vote
on Mr.. Hales amendment giving half of the
vessels to private shipyards for construction
indicates the force which the compromise
coalition wields in the present session, the
result being probably large slice for the
shipbuilders of Maine and Pennsylvania. We
hope that the Senate will take this bill up
without delay and let the country have some
war vessels that it con rely on. The amusing
episode in the debate by which the ''pig-iron"
champion received o short and sharp lecture
on inconsistency gives promise of liveliness,
even tor the short time the present Congress
has to live.

ROYAL ITALIAN MESSAGE TO LIyINasToNE.-
Sir Bartle Frere was in Rome yesterday, on his
march to the African coast in order to join
the British expedition which is commits
stoned to operate for the suppression Of the
slave trade. His Majesty King Victor EN-
manuel accorded him an audience, at which
he gave him gold medal bearing
the royal effigy, requesting him to ''haad
it to Doctor Livingstone, as a pledge Of
his esteem" This complimentary attention
does great honor both to the head and heart
of the ruler Of free Italy. 1t is meet and
proper that from the ancient centre of civiliza-
ton and Christianity there should go forth
ray of modern light to land which has
grown aged in its benightedness. and that
Rome to-day should thus reply to the mourn,
ful adjuration Of the captive Jugurtha when
dying within its walls-.'Gods where's the
worth which sets this people up above thins
own Numidias tawny sous?''

Is IT PEACE OR WAR?--We have had a vast
amount Of Qualifications over the success Of

RAILROAD CATASTROPHE IN PENNSYLVANIA
According to our special despatch from Miffiin

rible accident on the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad last night. The intelligence is too
meagre to allow us to form an idea as to the ex.

states that up to the time Of forwarding the

PERn.s OF THE LAKES. Winter brings its
perils on the lakes as well as on the ocean,
Two barges and two schooners have been
wrecked on Lake Superior, and all on board
are supposed to have perished. About this
season of the year there is, indeed, greater
danger on our inland seas than on the ocean,
and the tragedies on the lakes for the past
twenty years would furnish volumes of sad
reading. Yet there is probably even more
recklessness displayed in their navigation
than in the fitting out of the mantraps called
steamships for ocean voyages.
