The next President will be chosen by the
constitutional electors, at the usual time
and in the usual manner, as prescribed by
law. The only question before the country
after the first week in December, will be,
how the result shall be verified and made
public. The Constitution says the certii-
Gates of the votes of the electors of the sew
eral States shall be opened by the President
of the Senate, in the presence of the two
branches of Congress, and shall then be
counted. But the Democrats say the two
branches cannot meet without rules to gov
ern their action when together, and that if
rules are not adopted to suit the House,
that body will not meet in the manner de-
signated by the Constitution, and that thus
the election may become void. In other
words, if not given power to nullify the cleo
tion, that body will attempt to prevent the
verifcation of the choice made by the cleo
tors, and assume theresponsibility of choos-
ing President in opposition to the one
chosen in the constitutional manner. They
threaten a revolution if, without regard to
the votes he may have received, their candi-
date is not declared elected.

WHAT WE HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

WHAT WE HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR.
Nobody means to suspend feelings or Civ
ing thanks till next year, and it isn't out
of place to remind ourselves of some special
occasion of feeling good the present year.
There has been talk of war, which has
been well checked by the strong hand on
the reins of power. Ten years ago or more,
this talk would have been followed by dan
gerous action, and every%oman who reads
this may feel glad that her sons or brothers
are spared to pursue peaceful courses, and
the sword which has pierced many women's
hearts within the last decade is turned
away from hers also; and, war or no war,
we are not, it is likely, to feel the oppres-
sion and degradation which must have fol-
lowed the election of Tilden, the tool of all
the ignorance and crime of the country.
New York knows too well what Democratic
rule means, and the hearty thank God,
and the thrill of relief all over the city
when the news of Hayes majority was re-
ceived, after the gloom of the Tilden ac-
counts, effaced even the depression caused
by the heavy state of business for the time.
1t is true business has been bad in the city,
and thousands of people are in destress,
but business men have worried through
somehow, and there has been no more suf-
fering than is usual. At least we have had
no epidemics, the health of the city has
been good, and, altogether, if we can't be
thankful that we have had prosperous
year we can be that it has been nc worse.
1t was good to see the crowds at the depots
OF roads leading into New England. Ev-
cry train was packed with people going
home for their annual dinner, and many
large merchant left his gorgeous home on
the avenue to sit down to the fat turkey
and luscious pumpkin pie in the humble
farmhouse, from whence years ago, he
came to the great city, a poor boy. Every
New Englander goes home for his Thanks
giving, if he never goes at any other time.
Business on that day is suspended, except
the rum-mills, and they are in full blast,
the day being favorable to them, as the
people, released from labor, have nothing
to do butto spend the money they have
earned Every doggery has its rattle for
turkeys the night before, at which thirty
men pay ten cents each for the chance of
winning a dollar turkey, the winner being
required to spend at least the value of the
turkey in treating the disappointed ones,
and the loser spending quite as much to
drown their disappointment. The devil is
ingenious, but it does seem as though his
tricks were to thin to deceive anybody, who
did not want to be deceived. 1t is a very
grave question whether holidays are benef-
cial, day of rest; the merchant, man of af-
fairs, chafes under his enforced quietude,
and the laborer units himelf by dissipation
for weeks work. Frequent holidays may
all be well enough for the French and Span
ish, but it don't do for the American.

In an address to the President, Wade
Hampton, Senator Gordon and other South
Carolinians, assert that ''there is not the
remotest danger of disturbance of the
peace by Democrats. If it occurs it Will be
at the instigation of Governor Chamberlain
whose partizans have taken the only lires
lost in the late exciting canvass in this
State. Not one drop of blood has been shed
in any political disturbance except by Re
publicans."
Every man who reads knows that the
foregoing is a wholesale and unblushing
fabrication.
Recently an officer in the Federal army,
in his report, charged the infamous murder
of a score of negroes at Ellerton, upon
Hampton's Democratic rifle clubs, and as
serted that the work of assassination was
stopped only when he appeared upon the
scene with soldiers who encountered the
rifle clubs and compelled them to disperse.
Reform appears to have no particular
relish for the people, for they have suffer
ed Tilden-the head of that bureau-to go
under.

sound opinion.

The New York Evening Post says; We
do not believe that Governor Hayes will
aecept the Presidency if it shall be secured
for him by any questionable means. He
has said that he would scOrn to gain the
Office by a trick. We have no doubt that
if it should be awarded to him by a fraud
in Louisiana or anywhere else, he would,
without the loss Of day, make known his
refusal to accept il. His conduct is in com
Portable contrast with the revolutionary
course of the Democrats We have as lit
tie doubt that Republicans are almost un-
snimous in their agreement with Governor
Hayes upon this subject. At all events 1t
is significant that no threats Of violence OF
revolution come from Republicans. All
such plans have Democratic origin. We
know there are Republicans who would give
the Presidency to the Democrats ten times
over rather than secure it for themselves
bv unworthy methods, or in securing it in
volve the country in strife and anarchy.
1t is to be wished that,.th were more
signs of like spirit of patriotic self-sacri-
fee among the Democrats.

BUSINESS.

Of course there is no business now, but
it is reasonable to expect revival between
this and the holidays, and then, for a
month or two, we expect lively times.
Just as soon as it it is settled that Hayes is

PRICES OF LIVING.

In the present state of business it is for
tunate that living is very cheap. Coal is
only half of last years prices, and meats
are way down. Thanksgiving turkeys sold
for 10 cents per pound, chickens for 8 and
8, and fruits and vegetables are as CHEAP
as could be wished. Good beef can be he'd
for 10 and 10 cents a pound, and every
thing else in proportion, still beef at cent
pound is dear to the man who has not got
the cent. The man who has work at no
matter what wages, is comfortable, but
there are so many out of work. An adver-
tisement for book-keeper in a morning
paper, recently, brought over thousand
applicants before ten o'clock. have with
in a week seen men of thirty, competent
book-keepers, applying for positions as err
rand boys at $4OO week; heaven send
the revival of business that these hungry
men may find something to do. PrETRo.

REESE R!vER.-The Reveille of May
0 SAYS that Reese River now empties
into the Humboldt River, the first time
in several years. and that large numbers
of Humboldt trout are finding their way
up Reese River. The Reveille adds:
This would be splendid opportunity
for Reese River to become plentifully re-
stocked with trout, were it not for the
fact that, owing to the dams built on the
stream for irrigating purposes, it is i'm
possible for the fish to get up to the head
of the river to deposit their spawn. A
law on our statute books requires the
construction of ishways over dams and
other distractions in streams: but, I'M
fortunately Reese River is excepted from
its operations, and there is no law to
compel dam owners to provide means for
the ascent of fish. 1t is q pity that such
an opportunity to restock the stream
should be lost; but we might write until
the crack Of doom without being able to
make the owners Of dams see the neces-
sity of fishways. If they would construct
them, however. they would confer last
ing obligation on. and secure the eternal
gratitude of the fishermen and fisher
women of Austin,

can be more proftably worked By the

The Empress of Brazil, escorted by
Mrs. Gillespie, visited the Women's Pa
vilion this afternoon and made tour of
all the aisles and passages. There were
no formalities attending the visit. Dom
Pedro also visited the Pavilion, and gave
his emphatic approval Of the work there
displayed by American women.
One of the most impressive scenes OF
the day took place in Machinery Hall.
where the President, assisted by his
Imperial Majesty Dom Pedro, started
the motive power of that hall. At sig
nal from General Hawley the President
and the Emperor each seized crank
which opened the valves and turned it
several times. A sound was at once
heard, which gave to the people an un-
Outstanding that the engine was about
to move. The monster seventy-ton fly
wheel began to move slowly, and in
creased gradually in rapidity until it was
travelling at its full speed. General
Hawley started the hurrah. which was
taken up by the surrounding multitude.
The deafening echoes travelled through
the building, and as all of the wheels in
the hall began to move. the ringing OF
bells and other demonstrations told to
the world that the Centennial Exhibition
was fairly opened.
1t is estimated that 10000 people
visited the grounds during the day.
President Grant was sepenaded in the
evening, but made no speech ackowledg-

THE Welland Canada Telegraph tells
q story about the recovery of sunken
treasue from Chippewa Greek, by the
assistance of a diver, that looks little
gauzy. The story goes that two gentle
men in buggy called on professional
diver for his aid, who accompanied them,
and entered the water at q spot over
which hoated large piece of corkwood
with q magnet attached. Beneath this
the diver soon discovered an iron chest
Undecided in the river bottom. He
placed strong chain around the box,
by which it was dragged ashore. The
chest was two feet wide, the same deep,
and eighteen inches long, very much
rusted. The two gentlemen, as the ac-
count has it, then put the box in their
buggy, and after paying the diver, drove
of with the treasure, which was stated
to be $250,0 in gold. ...
But inasmuch as that amount of gold
would weigh about one thousand pounds,
the matter Of lifting it into buggy by a
couple OF gentlemen" and driving off
with it, looks little tishy.
