Counting the Electoral Votes.

The counting of the electoral votes
for President and Vice-prl sident took
place in the presence of both Houses OF
Congress ON Wednesday of last week.
The votes of louisiana and Arkansas
were objected to ana thrown out on &C
coua of informality. Three votes for
Horace Greeley in Georgia were also
thrown out on the ground that they
we're cast when no such person existed
and were not therefore legal. The vote
finally stood Hendricks AZ, B. Gratz
Brown Is, G. j. Jenkins 2, David Da-
Wis 1, U. S. Grant 2S6. For Vice-presi-
dent Henry Wilson had 2S6. the demo-
cratic vote being scattered among sever
al candidates. The confusion and irreg-
ularity in the returns from the States
whose votes were rejected, were the fruit
mainly of the late rebellion and the dis
orders since, but they nevertheless show
that our electoral system is detective
1t is easy to see how the votes lost might
change or affect presidential election and
how Congress might possibly wrangle
and defeat the will of the people in case
of close election. In the cases above
named it fortunately makes no differ
ence, and remedy by constitutional
change should be made before it causes
the country serious trouble. 1t is doubt
full if any better proposition has yet been
made than that of Senator Morton, we
believe, that the electors be chosen d.
rectly by the people in each congression-
al district in all the States. Others how
ever favor direct vote for president by
the people. That some change ought to
be made is evident, and the best time to
do it is when it will least affect either
political party.

DEATH IN Coal MINEs.-The mining
accidents of the year 1872 in the an.
thracite coal fields of Pennsylvania re
suited in the fearful total of one hun,
bred and fifty-tbree men killed, and -four
hundred and sixty-two wounded. These
returns include only five counties and
portion of a sixth. OF this large
number of casualties many we're due to
defective arrangement in the mines and
inadequate provision for escape; but
many more we're caused by individual
carelessness and negligence. Recently
an explosion in an English mine was
traced to the fact that a group of miners
in the bottom of the mine, had removed
the covers from their safety lamps tC
light their pipes; and were smoking
when the catastrophe occurred. Con
slant familiarity with danger breeds q
certain contempt for it; and a large pro.
portion of the Pennsylvania casualties
we're due to recklessness not less culpa.

A Sensible Way to Do 1t.

A correspondent of the Montpelier
Journal writes as follows, and the incl
dent and argument are sensible to the
last degree and worthy to be followed
here, there and everywhere:
A lady in this village interested her

drinking,--one of the saddest and lowest
specimens of the class. She invited him

among his class in the present temper.

All honor to the noble lady that is
willing to do Christ's work in Christ
like way. This is heart power brought
into action. 1t is disinterested love thai
never fails of reward. There was nc
craving notoriety, no attempting an i'm.
possible means; no long speeches nc
query as to how the work should be
done; what forces employed; who is
best capable of doing this, that and the
other part of it; and thus wasting time
money and thought, while those fol

and dying still.
Let fifty or hundred of those who
are SO anxious to be temperance reform
ers, choose each their man from the first

for their individual reform, as this wo.

COMPULSORY EDUcATIoN.-The re-
port Of the Illinois superintendent of ed
ucation has made a sensation among the
people of that state. 1t appears that
there are 882,693 schoolable children in
Illinois, of which number, the average
daily attendance represents only 37.4
per cent. Since 1870 the per cent. of
attendance has fallen off Ia per cent,
and, although in that period the school
able population has increased 10000,
the attendance is actually 10000 less.
A bill to establish compulsory education
is soon to be introduced into the Legis.
lature, and its advocates will scarcely
have to go beyond the facts of this re,
port for their arguments.

ST.. VALENTINES DAY.-The day, as
its title indicates, is sacred to st. Valen-
tine, who was martyr and fourished
about 250 A. ID. He was priest. and
assisted the martyrs in the persecution Of
Claudius the Second. Being delivered
into the custody of Asterius, he wrought
miracle upon his daughter, whom he
restored to sight, by which means he con-
verified the whole family, and all of them
afterwards suffered for their religion. st.
Valentine was then transferred to the
custody of another officer, and after i'm
prisonment at Rome, was beaten with
clubs and stones, and afterwards behead.
ed in the Flaminian war about the year
270, and was enrolled among the mar
tyrs of the church. Wheatley says
that che was man of most admirable
parts, and SO famous for his love and
charity that the custom of choosing val
entines upon his festival took its rise
from thence" Tnere appears to be but
little supposition far this assertion, as it
is quite certain that the custom of val
entines took its rise from attempts to
christianize heather festival observed
about this time of the year. The custom
of sending valentines has its origin in an
old idea alluded to by Shakespeare, that
on the 14th day of February the birds
begin to mate.

English Estates.

Hon. j. p. Benjamin, formerly Of
louisiana, wrote in 1869 to the New
Orleans Times, a letter explaining the
devices resorted to TO make money out
of people IN the United States, through
the pretence of getting possession OF un-
claimed property and estates in England.
Mr.. Benjamin wrote from London, where
| he was established in buSiness as a law
yer, and after saying that he had receiv-
ed hundreds of letters from Louisiana
and other parts of the union making in
quiries relative to estates represented as
existing in England and awaiting the
claims of American heirs, adds;
"In every instance that has come to
my knowledge the statements are false,
and evidently made for the purpose of
defrauding parties out of sums, large or
small, under pretext of paying cost of
records. copies &C., said to be necessary
for the assertion of the pretended
claim"
Mr.. Benjamin mentions instances, as
the Wood estate, said to amount to ten
millions sterling and the famous Jen-
nings estate, both of which were said to
belong to American heirs, bot without
shadow of reason, as there were in each
an abundance of English heirs.
The device usually resorted to by the
enterprising agents who get their living
by the pretended hunt for these estates,
is to propose to prosecute the claim up
on shares, and charge nothing unless sue
cessful. This answers to get parties to
start in pursuit, and puts the agent in
communication with those anxious to be
rich. Then a judicious distribution of
circulars from time to time, serving to
keep up the fever of expectation. Fl
nally the agent pretending that his re-
searches have resulted favorably, regrets
that his resources have given out just as
he was about to grasp the prize, and he
begs his patrons to come forward with
some money to enable him to make his
success sure; and by this method he us
ually makes the little speculation for
which the original story was set on
foot.
Those hunting for English estates will
do we'll to bear in mind that in England
an alien cannot inherit real estate when
there is no will, and cannot take real es-
tate when there is no will. Estates in
England also descend to the oldest son,
and are not divided among all the child
rem, as in Vermont, and one may there
fore be descendant and not a heir. 1t
will then be seen that the pursuit of
English estates is beset with difficulties
which ought to admonish every one in
this country that, as an investment, such
property is not quite equal to Credit Mo.
bilier stock. -MontpeLier Freeman.

"THE SLEEPING SENTINEL. The
St. Adams Messenger in speaking Of
Col. Veasey's paper at the "Camp Fire
of the Grand army of the Republic, at
their recent annual encampment, in that
place says: "Col. Veazey's paper relat-
ed in an entirely new light the historic
incident of the Sleeping Sentinel, VIM.
Scott, Co. K, Sd VT. Volunteers, who,
as all remember, was sentenced to be
shot, pardoned at the last moment, and
afterwards killed in battle at Lees mills.
Col. Veazey was an officer of the Sd
Vermont, and member of the court
martial which tried him, and was
therefore in situation to know the facts.
With the most graceful delicacy he
brushed away the web of fancy woven
by the poet Janvier around the incident,
and while he would not say that Presi.
dent Lincoln did not drive in hot haste
to the scene of execution, he said that
he, though present, did not see anything
of the kind, and on the contrary told
how the whole plan of the impending
execution but secretly designed pardon
was made and executed by Vermont
greatest soldier, Gen. VIM. F. Badly
Smith. The paper was admirably pre-
pared, and was listened to with the most
rapt attention"
