much as it appears in the REPUBLICAN, he
or she (querest is the common gender), it is
all right.

called Africanus, and the othe. the Ascstic

that would be putting too fine point on

England, which consists almost entirely of
English speaking people. No, it appeared
too late, and is too limited as to space:

As to the main questions put by "Querest,"

According to this table of estimates, if
the Republicans carry New York, in addi-
ton to the States classed as Republican,
they will have more than enough to elect.
II they carry California and Indiana, or
California, New Jersey and Florida, with
the States counted as Republican, they will
elect: The additional vote of Louisiana and
good prospect of carrying with a fair
election. would be sufficient. While the
Republicans have but twenty-one votes to
gain in the States counted as doubtful, the
democrats must gain seventy three of the

s0- The Republicans being oea'en
in the Presidential contest, will try to
render null and imperative the 22nd
Joint rule, adopted by themselves and
by both houses of Congress, governing
the elections of President and Wee
President. 1t is their own rule. They
framed and adopted it, and have acted
under it in electing their Presidents and
Vice Presidents. There is another rule,
number (which provides that "Ihese
rules shall be the Rules of the House OF
Representatives of the present and sue
ceeding Congresses, unless otherwise
ordered" The Senate tried to wipe
out this rule last winter, but the House
did not concur. 1t therefore stands and
must be carried out as the joint rule OF
both Houses. The House OF Represen-
tatives is Democratic, the Senate he
nublicau. If the two disagree as to ad-
uniting the votes of the State or States
this will throw the election into the
House OF Representatives,and that oooy
being largely Democratic, will OF course
elect Democratic President and Vice
President.

p9 Is 1T RIGHr The present con-
dition of political affairs presents to the
thoughtful American an entirely new
and novel feature as tbs result OF the
workings OF some of our peculiar insti-
buttons. 1t is a singular tact that just
at this moment the expressed will OF
an. nation IL about to be attempted to
be nullified through the action of q
couple of ignorant negroes, who have
abon, IS correct an idea Of the tremen-
dous responsibility resting upon them
IA a male would have under similar
circumstances. In other words, the IN
,eH,gence of the nation is absolutely
about to be made subservient to the
crude notions of plantation negroes
who are about entirely under the con-
'irol and subject to the commands OF
political in,riguers and adyenturers'
wbo are about as bankrupt in principle
and character az they are in purse.
How the matter is to be remedled Is
the oues,ion, and our Legislative Solons
will probably find it difficult subject
to handle.

editor of the Hagerstown (Md.) Mail
says the mutilated democratic tickets
voted in some precincts of Washington
county st the late election were printed
at his Office, but that the ''forms" had
been surreptitiously altered by taking
out the line "For Congress" before Mr..
Walsh's name. This Was done after
bulk of ticket had been printed; but on
election day other tickets were needed,
and we're printed from the altered form
without any examination of it. Seven
of these were thrown out. and thus lost

decidedly evidenced on the face there

OBITUARY..

Lines written to MARY HOLLAND,
daughter of Rev. II. G. Holland, who
died the 18th of November, 1876
Can the absent be forgotten?
Can their memories ever die,
Where they love to be remembered
AS dream that passes by.
Can the early ties that bound US,
Like the morning mists depart,
Forbid 1t Heaven, for then 1t ceases,
Each Joy that cheers the heart.
Can the absent be forgotten?
Can the lips that we have kissed,
The hands that we have pressed in ours
Be lost and then not missedt
Tell me angels, in your story,
Would your cherub, bright and fair,
Why do We send our pleadings mp,
10 be remembered there.
Can little Mary 5e forgotten
As the roses bud and blooma
Unfold their beauties for an hour,
Then withers I'm the tomb.
BY A FRIEND.

The South Cayvlics Board Of Can
~assers completed its count on Satur'
day, and their return was in favor OF
the Hayes electors by an average ma
jority OF 600. This result, the Demo
Gratis claim, was procured by classifying
the precinct returns after they passed
into the hands of the county canvsssers.
The matter will be finally passed upon
by the Supreme Court Of the State.
General Gorden is at Columbia, and as
ser,s that the true vote has not been
given. Hamptons majority, it is con-
coded, is about l,144.
The Louisiana Board began its count
on Monday. Five gentlemen Of each
party will witness the canvass.
In Florida it seems conceded that the
Democrats have carried the State OFF,

Presidential ticket.
It is now known positively that the
Democrats have carried all three States

nD The ease with which divorces
are obtained in Washington City is but
another evidence of the fact that the
times are out Of joint Scarcely a week
passes that several applications are not
made for a release from marital bonds
in the courts OF that city. One day last
week, no less than three applications
for separations were filed. If this sort
OF thing continues, the Capital will soon
become as famous as did Indiana some
years ago, tor the readiness with which
marital letters may be broken. Appll'
cations for divorces should be closely
scrutinized, as well for the good OF the
parties seeking them as for the moral
effect Of such proceedings upon the com
munity at large.

The weather is getting cold now, and
winter is coming on, Ifyou care any
thing for your health and comfort, throw
away your filters, thin shoes, thin hose,
thin clothes, and put on warm wrap

and heels that will keep them warm,
and the icy lips of winter will kiss a
bloom upon your pretty cheeks that
will add beauty to your smiling faces
and health to your shivering forms.
