How a President is Elected.

The manner of electing a president is
more cumbersome than is generally sup
posed, and we dare say is not generally
understood. The following explanation
may be found interesting to many
Each of the United States is entitled to as
many electors for President and Vice Pres
ident as it has Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress. In each State the elect
ors are chosen by plurality vote. That
is, If there are three sets of electors voted
for, the set having the largest number of
votes is chosen. But candidate for Pres
ident, in order to DO successful, must have
GmGjortty Of all the electors. The electoral
college, as now constituted, consists of 317.
Therefore 159 are necessary for a choice.
If there be three candidates for President
the electoral college, then there is no choice,
and the election goes to the House of Rep
resentatives. The House must confine
their choice to the three highest candidates
voted for by the electors. The Represent
atives vote by States, and each state has but
one vote so that the power of Delaware is
as great as that OF New York. The ma
iority of the State delegation casts the vote
of the State. A candidate, to be successful,
must receive majority of all the States
represented, or nineteen States. II the
delegation is divided, the vote of the State
cannot be cast, and is therefore lost. AS
the present House is.constituted, (and it is
upon this House the election will devolve
in case there is no election by the people,
nominally the Republicans hold twenty
States but the majority in ten of these it
holds by one single vote. Should there be
a third candidate there would DO no choice
found in two of these ten States, and
should there be no election by the House,
by the 4th Of March, then the vice-Pres-
ident, If one is elected, shall act as Pres
ident. But should Vice. President not
have been elected by the people, then the

The Cincinnati Nominees.

Horace Greeley, who is nominated for
President on this ticket, is so well known
by every one, that no information regard
ing him need be given. But his associate
on the ticket is not so widely known.
B. Gratz Brown, the nominee of the Con-
yenton for Vice. President was born in
Lexington, KY, May 2s, 1926. He gradu-
ated at Pennsylvania University in 1S45,
and at Yale College in 1s47. After study
ing law in Louisville he settled in st. Louis,
and was member of the Legislature of
the State of Missouri from 1852 to 1861
1t was about this period that he aided in
establishing the Missouri Democrat, "
which journal he edited from 1854 to 1859
in opposition to slavery. During the war
he served as colonel of regiment of Mis-
souri, volunteers. He was elected to Con-
gress, as Senator from Missouri, from 1868
to 1867, and in 1870 was elected Governor
of the State. Although only 40 years of
age he is well known in Western politics.

CB- little incident ateMontreal will
serve to illustrate how easily stories and
traditions of miracles may have been start
ed. A cross of moisture has been noticed
to appear at night and disappear in the
morning Many devout souls were convinc-
ed that saint was buried there, and eager
crowds came to carry away the holy soil.-
The saint that lay beneath proved to be the
intersecting water pipes, which had de-
fective joint that supplied the moisture for
the miracle.
GsB- At Jacksonville, ILL.,, recently the
Rev. VIM. II. Milburn obtained decree of
divorce from his wife, from whom he had
been separated for several years. The
ground upon which he obtained the divorce
was deserton. Mrs. Milburn was formerly
beautiful belle of Baltimore, Nd, and
was united in marriage to the "blind
preacher" while he was chaplain to Con-
gress.
CB- Professor Atkins, who was attached
to a circus which exhibited at Decatur
Alabama, on the 9th ult., assembled with a
hot air balloon during the afternoon, when
the balloon became detached from the
windass fixing its altitude, and assembled
to the height of half mile, and then rap
idly descended into the Tennessee river
Atkins was drowned, though every effort
was made to save his life.
GB- A fearful tornado passed over the
town of Crele, Nebraska, on the morning
of the Goth ult., demolshing several houses,
including the Academy building. Mr.
G. M. Fish had his back broken by the fall
ing of his house. 1t is reported that
woman living a few miles in the country
was killed.

voter, and they from any reasons OBJ
jected to the vote, then they have done SO
knowingly, and should be convicted. The
law presumes however they rejected the
vote innocently, ignorantly and in good
faith, and for sufficient reasons, and it is
only when this presumption is overthrown
by the evidence adduced by the Common
wealth you must convict. And, if it is
doubtful to your minds under all the evil
dence whether these officers rejected the
vote knowingly, that is believing at the
time they did so, that it should have been
received, then the law requires you to ac-
quit.
The defendant was acquitted.

what is Paid for Fashion.

A lady IN Louisville paid seventv-five
enameiled for the ball given at the Gait
House to the Grand Duke Alexis. The
enamel was warranted to last three
days, and so it did. The lady was taken
i'll on her return home from the ball, her
face became greatly swollen. the most
acute pain succeeded, and it was only by
the employment of the best medical skill
that her life WAS saved. This statement
we have from an undoubted source.
But the case of this lady is not so bad
rs that of another Louisville lady who
became enamored of the odious fashion of
enamelling the face Shesvisited another
city, far to the eastward. some five months
ago, for the sole purpose of having her
face enamelled according to the latest
Partisan mode. She had heard that a
noted Partisan was engaged in the enam-
cling business in the city in question, and
to him she went on her arrival. For the
| sum Of five hundred dollars he agreed to
enamel her face 50 scientifically that the
enamel would remain undamaged for
three years, and a year or two longer if
extra care was taken in washing the face
| according to his prescribed method. The
| devotee of fashion concluded the bargain,
ard paid three hundred dollars of the sum
named, the balance to be paid in yearly
installments, divided into three years.
| The lady received the enamel and re-
! turned to her home in this city. Since her
return she has disappeared from society.
| There was 80 much poison in the enamel
THAT its effects were almost Immediately

truly beautiful face Is to-day a distorted.

The lady's beauty had disappeared for

saving her life they will have accomplish

THOU SHALT Nor STEAL" Here is an
application of the eighth commandment
If workman, who is paid to work ten
hours, takes advantage of the absence of
the master or foreman to smoke pipe and
read the newspaper for an hour out of ten,
he steals one-tenth of his days wages.
He does the very thing that shopkeeper
would do who gave him fourteen ounces
Of butter or sugar instead of pound: or
nine yards OF calico when the bill charged
ten. An assistant in shop, who instead
of caring for his masters interests az if
they were his own, puts no heart into his
work, exercises no ingenuity, treats GUS
toners carelessly instead of courteouslv,
and so diminishes the chances of their
coming again-gets his salary on false
pretences, does not give the kind of SER
vice which he knows his employer ex-
poets, and which he would expect if he
were an employer himself He cannot but
know that his services are not worth half
what they would be if he did his best.
Instead Of earning the ESQ or f4O year
for which he is engaged, he does not earn
more than Els or ego, and he practically
steals the rest.
