Judge John 1. Meredith Of Richmond,
saws that alter mature consideration he has ar
rived at the conclusion that the true constitu,
toral mode Of counting tac electoral vote IS IN
and by put Convention 0! The two houses act
ing a. one body, aud $usta:us his opinion by
convincing argument judge John a. Camp
bell, formerly Associate Justice 81 the Unlted
States Supreme Court. says that the idea OF
president holding over is Tepugnant to the con-
stitution, since it would invite usu, patton, aud
also that the two houses CT Congress, and not
the president CT the Ssoatc, have the right 10
count the electoral votes aud that 10 case the
choice falls ON Congress the Vice President
only is elected by the Senate, while the House
chooses the President. The Richmond Dis
patch reproduces the following:
10 the Honorable the Senate and House Of
REPRESENTATIVES.
The icils resolution entitled Joint resolution
declaring certain States not entitled to repre-
ssntation in the Electoral College" has been
signed by the Executive in Difference to the
view Of Congress- implied in its passage and
presentation TO him. 10 his own view how
ever, the two houses of Congress convened un-
der the twelfth article of the Constitution have
complete power to exclude from counting all
electoral votes deemed by them to be illegal.
And it is not competent for the Executive to
defeat or obstruct that power by a veto, IS
would be the case il bis action were at all es-
sential in the matter. Ho disclaims all right
of the Executive to Interfere in any way in the
matter OF canvassiog or counting electoral votes,
and he also disc'aims that BY signing said reso-
luton be has expressed any opinion 90 the re-
'stals OF the preamble, or any Judgment oil his
owe upon the subject Of the resolution.

A few months ago man calling him
self Prof Slocum, OF penmanship noto-
riety (2), hailing from Poughkepsie, made
his appearance in ST. Cisirsylllc, and by
Cint OF a fair hand and lots OF impudence
and liberal supply of gas, succeeded IN
mastering some sixty unsOphlsticated
youths of both sexes as pupils, on the
bona tdc proposition "no improvement no
pay" In'other parlence, if he failed to
effect 100 per cent. otimprovement in the
handwriting of his pupils no charge
would be made.
The manner in which he managed TO
secure himself was. to say the least, very
unsentlemanly, but rather characteristic;
nay, in our estimation contemplate
As the first and last specimens OF pupils
had to be examined in juxtaposition by
duly qualified committee appointed for
that purpose, the said SlO-cum did not
come slow in the realization of the de-
signed percentage inasmuch as he dis
proved, or by some crafty means married
the original handwriting of the pupils,
thereby tending the contrast; apparent
ly decidedly imposing, but altogether AL
impositlon). Several ladies and gentle
men candidly informed Us that notwith-
st nding this additional duplicity, at the
conclusion of the session, in order u IN
sure success to himself, he gave his unini-
tiated charges some easy words to write.
Many did no. realize over 80 per cent;
however all had to pay the full bill. Thus
violating his own proposition and using
deceit Ia boot.
We understand that this Yankee wool
puller made up large classes also in
Wheeling, Bellairc, &c, on similar
plan. Now although this Poughkepslan
can write a tolerably fair hand, the little
BOYS IN ST. Clairsvile discovered in the
gentleman "A wonderful deficit in even the
cemmonest branches OF education and
would occasionally have to correct him
in grammar, &c. When any man pur-
porting himself a gentleman will stoop TO
such petty measures, he is not worthy of
patronage. "a fool for luck The
above is another corroboration Of the fact
that to thus earn money and collect every
penny of it, nowadays demaEds more
lmpujence than intelligence, and abund-
antly more rascalIty than genuine integ-
rity. FAIR PLAY.

INTIMIDATIoN.-A member Of Coun-
Gil stated last night that he had received
several anonymous notes from unknown
parties, which contained the ,easant in
formation that if he did not use all his
efforts to have the hog ordi-
nance repealed, his property
would be fired and destroyed. This is Il
sad reflection upon some Of our citizens
and one of the poorest and most impo-
tent methods that we know of to accom-
plish any desired result. There are
plenty of peaceful and lawful methods
redressing a grievance, but to threaten n
maus life and property is the most in
judicious and unreasonable trick sane
person could be guilty of.

Campbell, OF the Wheeling and Cam

any BODY would bid less than II 500, be

at would have rejoiced the friends OF
Mr.. Colisx IN your city TO see how he
was received here-the scene OF So many
Of his triumphs. The audience was one
of the largest ever gathered in Lincoln
Hall, and in it could be seen President
Grant aud his wife, the Vice President,
members of the Cabinet, and Congress
men.
Senator Oglesby, a lifelong friend o:
Lincoln, introduced Mr.. Colfax, with u
very handsome personal eulogy, and as
Mr.. Colax came forward, he was greeted
with round after round applause, which
lasted for several minutes. His lecture
was received with the greatest enthusi-
asm, and WAS declared by the President
and others to be the best portrature of
Lincoln they had ever. heard.

RlcHINGs BERNARD.-Tbis splendid
opera troupe gave one OF the finest per-
formances of the season at the Opera
House last night. Mrs. Bernard, better
known To the theatrical circle. by her
maiden name of Caroline Richings, has
always been favorite; like wine she im.
proves with age, and we are free TO say
that in the play of Lefty" last night she
WAS unsurpassed. She retains all
the vivacity of her more youthful
days, although not an old woman
yet, and from long practice i.er voice has
been cultivated to the highest perfec-
ton, and now has u softness and sweet
ness of tone that was lacking ten or ILL
teen years ago. 1t is no iulsome euloSy
to say that Mrs. ngs-Bernard stands
at the head of opera singers in America
than that which accompanied her when
here last winter. In fact, the company
is in every way better organized The
orchestra is great improvement.
We feel safe in saying that
those who fail to hear her
this afternoon and to night will miss Il
great treat. All of her support act adj
mirably. But We cannot refrain from
expressing our admiration for the singing
as well as the acting of Miss jessie Bart.
lett, young lady of only twenty years
VINO Will, according to our predictions,
make her mark in the musical world.

encored. This afternoon the Rose Of
Tyro! will be On the boards, and tonight
