How A PRESIDENT rs ELEcTED.-Each
State is entitled to as many electors of Pres
ident and Vice President as it has Senators
and Representatives in Congress. ...,
In each State the electors are chosen by a
plurality vote. That is, ifthree sets of elect.
ors be voted for, tho sets having the highest
number of votes is chosen.
But candidate for President, in order to
be successful, must have majority Of all the
electors. The electoral colleges, as now con.
stituted, consists of 317-159, therefore, are
necessary for choice.
IF there are three candidates for Presi-
dent, and neither of them receives msjori-
ty of the electoral college, then there is no
choice, and the election goes to the House
of Representatives.
The House must conino their choice to the
three highest candidates voted for by the

GEN LEES RooM-The Nashville Union
and American says: A gentleman residing
in this city, and who returned from the
Washington and Lee University, Of Virginia.
relates some pleasant facts connected with
the last days of Gen. Lee. He says that the
private room in which the General occupied
has been left just as it was whep he went
out of it on the morning he took to his bed,
and from which he never aross. The Gen.
eral went into his room at the usual hour
shat morning, put on hisslippers, took seat
near a window, from which he drew the
curtain partially back, and began reading q
copy Of the Nashville Union and American.
He had been complaining of feeling unwell,
and after reading short time he laid the
paper on the table and left the room, never
more to return To-day the visitorto the
University is shown the room which he is al
lowed to enter, but is prohibited from touch
ing anything. On the dust covered table he
sees the paper as it dropped from the hand
of the great chieftain, and near the chair,
| which is partly turned around, his slippers.
The curtain is in the same positien in which
the General had placed it, and in the ink
stand is the deeply corroded pen, just as it
had been left when last used. A guard is
mounted at tho door every day to see that
nothing about the room is distured by any
one visiting il.

The EMMA MINE.-We copy from the
Utah Mining Journal of the 7th the fol-
lowing report of proceedings in Judge
McKean's Court at Salt Lake:
Yesterday E. L. Mason and Thomas
H. Bates, civil and mining engineers,
and Henry Seawall, mining expert, were
examined on the part of the plaintiff.
These gentlemen were all subjected to
a very rigid cross-examination by coun-
sci for the defense. They testified that
the Emma mine was strata vein, but
not fissure vein; that the foot wall,
though irregular, was well defined; that
the vein was in limestone formation,
and consequently varying in its width
more than veins found in granite, slate,
or porphyry. The first witnesses testi-
fled that the ore in dispute was con-
nected with the ore in the original work
ings of the Emma. Mr.. Seawall testi-
fled that the vein did not cut the forma-
ton but followed the strata of the coun-
try rock. The cross.examination of Mr..
Seawail by Judge Smith was very spir-
tied and racy, as was also that of Capt.
Bates by Mr.. Carter. 81 80.

RAILROAD EXTENSION.

We give place to a communication
animadverting with severity upon the
action OF the C. p. r. r. Co., in fore.
bly, ejecting from the cars passenger
who chose to lay over and sought after
wards to resume his seat without paying
extra fare. The passenger elected also
received personal injuries, and sought
redress by suit for damages, but Judge
Mckean's decision has been roughly
handled by the press of California and
this State, and Justly so. Following is the
communication:
In looking over our Utah exchanges
we see decision of Judge Mexican in
the case of Page VS.. the G. P. r. r. Co
The facts are that the plaintiff bought a
ticket at Omaha on the 29th of June last
to take him to San Francisco. After
laying over at Corinne he desired to
resume his seat, but was violently eject
ed from the cars and his leg broken.
Judge Mexican decided that as the time
for his ticket had run out, plaintiff could
not recover. 1t is a strange decision,
when we recall the numerous decisions
to the reverse by so many OF the Courts
in different States, wherein it is held
that a ticket is good until used. Nc
stage line denies the right of passen.
ger to ley over, if he desires to do so, and
resume his seat whenever the stage is
not crowded. Does Judge Mexican wish
to do away with the laws Of the land in
regard to common carriers? He certain.
" does not call it contract when mar
goes to the pigeon hole Of a railroad
office and pays $50 for the ticket handed
to him. Does Judge Mexican call that
contract? If the railroads are allowed
to contract that way for the travelling
public in this country, how would Judge
Mexican decide in the cases of passen.
gers who may be detained thirty days by
snow blockade, as was the case las
winter? Perhaps His Honor woult
decide that the acts of God cannot b.
provided against. Yet if poor man
occupying second-class car, reekin!
with filth and tobacco smoke, lays over
day he is compelled to pay his fare t.
his destination or be elected from tn
cars and perhaps receive personal iniu
ries. There is Enot gigantic railroa
monopoly in the land which would nc
give $50, 900 to have your decision &C
cepted as law by the higher Courts
Judge Mexican must suffer the NORTH
cation of being laughed at by all law
yers of high standing in the profession
Even Judge Sanderson, of counsel 70
the railroad, was astonished at tn
decision. Can it be that the decisio
was influenced by the threat of tn
railroad attorney that il the case was nc
decided in his favor the cars would b
drawn of the track? Surely Judge Nc
Kean should have free-pass over tina
road for the remainder of his life.

ON DIAMONDS.

DR.. Chas. G. Foltz furnishes us the
following article on diamonds: ,i.
AS there is at present so much talk
and excitement about diamonds, it may
be OF some interest to the public to know
something additional in regard to them.
The diamond, as is generally known, is
nearly pure crystalized carbon, contain
ing but very little silisic acid and per-
haps other inorganic substances.
Whether organic or inorganic the best
authorities in mineralogy are divided,
the majority, however, contending that it
is inorganic. The oft repeated assertion
that scientific men have succeeded in
making artificial diamonds must be looked
upon as myth. In most instances pure
quartz crystals are mistaken for dia-
monds, and the difficulty is how to dis
tinguish genuine diamonds from quartz
crystals. In the first place, the specific
gravity of the two is very different that
of quartz being from 2.5 to 2.S (pure
quartz crystals 2.65), while that of the
D.
gravity is therefore very simple test by
which the real character of the minerals
may be ascertained. To ascertain the
specific gravity the minerals should be
thoroughly cleaned and dried and then
weighed. Then attach the mineral to a
thread or the finest platina wire and i'm
merge in pure water of four deg. celcius,
and weigh the mineral so immerged in
the water again. Divide the original
weight and the loss obtained by weigh
ing in the water, and you get the specific
gravity. ..I.s rs.,h
In the second place the density or
hardness of each mineral will be an easy
way of telling which is diamond and
which is quartz. The density or hard
ness of all minerals is ascertained by
comparing the same with a given scale
that of Mohs being the one generally
used. The scale is based upon the den.
sity of ten different minerals, viz: l, tall
(silicate of magnesia); 2, rock salt OF
gypsum 8, kalk spar carbonate o.
hme); 4, fuorspar (fiuor calcium); s.
apatit phosphate of lime, with chloride
Of calcium; 6. quartz (silisic acid); g.
topas Ga compound silicate containing
silicate of alumina); 3, korund (pure
aluminia); 10, diamond. Now, fuorspai
will be scratched by apatit; apatit by
orthokas; quartz by topas; topas by
korund; and diamond, being the hardest,
is not effected by any mineral. All that
is necessary is to obtain piece Of pure
topas or korund (both can he got in San
Francisco) and you will have a ready
test for diamonds, which will scratch
both minerals, but both will scratch
quartz crystals.
