How and when the Electoral Votes are
Cast and Counted.

In 1892 and 1904 Congress adopted acts
providing that the electors for each State
shall meet and vote on the first Wednesday
In December succeeding the general cleo
tlon that the Governors OF the States shall
have notified the electors chosen, before the

electors shall make and sign three certifi-
Gates OF all the votes given by them, each
Of which certificates shall contain two dis
tinct lists, one of the votes for President
and the other of the votes for Vice Presi-

and signed that one certificate shall be
forwarded by messenger chosen by the
electors of each Stale to the President of
the Senate in person that the second GER
tl6cate shall be transmitted to the same Of

REUNION SOCIETY OF VERMONT OPT
cERs.-The 18th annual meeting Of this So
ciety was held at Montpelier on the 18th
inst, with about seventy five officers pres
ent. At the business meeting in the after
noon the following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, General Will
Liam w. Grout of Barton; Vlce-Presiden,s,
Colonel Geo. w. Hooker OF Brattleboro,
and Captain U. a. Woodbury. OF Burling-
ton; Recording and Corresponding Secre-
tary, General J. s. Peck OF Montpelier I;
Treasurer, General L. G. Kingsley of Rut-
land; Executive Committee, Surgeon G..
b. Bullard, Major n. p. Bowman and Cap
tain Fl. X. Ide OF ST. Johnsbury. The pub
lie exercises were held in the Representa-
tives' Hall in the evening, and were very
largely attended, many being unable TO
gain admission. The exercises consisted
OF music by the Montpelier Cornet Band
and vocal selections by the Ransom Guard
Glee Club, prayer by Chaplain N. N. Gla-
zier, and an eloquent and carefully writ
ten Grafton by Colonel Redfeld Proctor,
Lieutenant Governor of the State. The
banquet was spread in Representatives
Hall, and was followed by series of toasis,
with very bright and apt responses. Col.
Hooker Of this town evidently won him
self much favor by an exceedingly witty,
forcible and spirited speech" In response
10 the seDtiment-"The Bummers-Mili-
tary and POLITICAL" The meeting appears
10 have been in all respects very happy
and successful one.

ti6c departments Mrs. +. +. S,oddard
teacher Of music, and Miss Mary Z. Bliss
teacher Uf gymnastics. All the classes
evinced thorough drill and accurate knowl-
edge Of what they bad studied. In every
school there is some diversity as 70 the abil-
iiy Of the students TO acquire knowledge
but all seemed deeply interested and sir
Gus of success. 1t was evident that the
teachers possess in high degree the abili-
~ 10 inspire enthusiasm and a love Of
learning 10 the minds OF their pupils. This
is owing TO their system Of instruction,
which is inductive, analytical. They thor
oughly explain the fundamental principles
of science, upon which the rules are found
ed. This renders progress easy. They al
50 regard the grammar of a Language as
the key 10 unlock its hidden treasures.
Hence they first give their pupils a thor
ough knowledge OF the grammar, then The
Language is easily acquired. They first lay
a broad, deep foundation before rearing the
supcrstructure. They do not allow pu-
pill To advance till the first principles are
clearly understood. Hence, those under
their tuition who are industrious can hard
ly fail of success. The discipline of the
school is strict, yet mild and gentle. Pa
rents and guardians who are DESTROYS Of
placing children and wards where their
welfare will lie strictly guarded, will do
well to send them 10 Leland and Gray
seminary. The training of teachers is
made a specially in this institution. No
one in common school can enjoy equal
advantages in this direction. The thorough
drill, by Miss Bliss, In gymnastics, OF all
students of both sexes, has been a means
of promoting their health and of afTording
them much innocent amusement. Few
teachers Of music are superior to Mrs.
Sloddard. The exhibition Friday evening,
though but little time was spent in the
preparation, was decided success and was
witnessed by a crowded audience. The
committee cannot but regard The advant-
ages TO be secured at Leland aud Gray
seminary as most inviting to youth OF the
surrounding towns.

Mr.. Editor: l have just received let
Ter from New Orleans from which you are
permitted, if you desire it, 10 make the fol-
lowing extract:- ....
New ORLEANS, La, Nov. Ii, 1876.
have been so busy lately that l could
find little time 10 reply 10 your last letter.
You said The election would be close, but
that Hayes would be elee,ed. See how
close it really is, Tilden lS4, Hayes 1856.
Every means in the world will he tried 10
force this State for Tiden. Louisiana is
Republican without any doubt. Many of
the parishes prevented the Republicans
from going TO the polls, yet they call that
fair election. viii the American people
stand any such work? Our Returning
Board meets to-day. Sheridan has just ar
rived and there is much excitement in the
South. Democrats declare they will either
have Tilden or tight. Just imagine Louis
lana saving the nation by the black mans
vote. can assure you, that they were
true and faithful TO the Republican party
where they were permitted to go to the
polls. In many OF the PARISHES 1t was worth
Republicans life, 10 go 10 the polls. l
hope those who are here from other States
will be just in their examination of the
question, involving the life of our Govern
ment. 1t is OF no use temporiZing any
longer, this question must be settled at
once and forever. l send map OF The late
Confederate States, more as a curiosity,
than anything else. Mr.. Tilden Is indebt-
ed to the foreigners and rebels for his pop
nlar majority. He ought TO feel proud Of
his connections. ...
1t will appear from the above extract,
Mr.. Editor, that Louisiana has done her
utmost to carry the election for the repnb-
licans, and seems 10 have done her part in
spite of the Kuklux. 1t is rather in Yer
mont that the election is endangered than
in louisiana and that by an act of law
lessness which las BECOME only too conf
mon Of late years. We know where law
lessness proceeds from in Louisiana. Had
not the people better inquire into what
source 1t comes from here in Vermont
Our mon in Office have never cautioned as
against 1t, though evidently on The in
crease, but have quietly drawn their pay,
and some of them back pay, too, while the
treasury was being plundored aud the
country demorallzed, threatening calam-
ity sooner or later 1t appears 10 me, Mr..
Editor, that our political leaders ought 10
be held particularly accountable for this
last act of lawlessness that nominated a
Federal olfice-holder for Republican Pres
idential elector. Some party ought 10 be
held to an account for an act so discredlta-
BILE TO the character of The State, and which
is only one in a series of similar acls, as
unnecessary as they are flagrant. By the
way, could the people be permitted 10 know
the result of the election in this county for
Judges, Senators, Sheriff, States Attorney
and High Bailih2 We have not seen the
vote yet. Is it TO be kept seeretg ,... ..,...i

FEARFUL DEATH.-The Indian Stand
ard says After very many years there was
an execution at Lucknow on Tuesday, The
10Th ult. A Moulvie OF some little repule
paid the last penalty of the law. He was
convicted of a most brutal act of murder,
albeit not committed by his own hands,
but through means the most revolving TO
hu manity-and was sentenced TO death.
He kept a small school, and one OF the boys
who had been absent for two or three days,
on coming 10 school was locked up by him
in a small room. In this room snake had
been seen some days previously, but was
not killed. A little while amer the boys
Incarceration, he called out, "A snakel A
snake y and implored the Moulvie 10 open
the door. oar he said, "opeu the door
aud see for yourself-for MahOmed Rus
sools sake open the door" The Moulvie
would do nothing Of The kind. Al last the
the poor boy WAS bitten in several places
in the ankle, and he called out-"o! now
that have been bitten, open the door,"
The Moulyie was inexoTable-he would
-nutopeu the door. About mid day the fa-
Their of the boy came TO the school and en-
qulred for his son-and enquired how that
he had not come for his usual meal. The
Moulvie said-,I have confined him for his
absence" "Well," said the father, ''release
him now" The door was then opened and
the oorpse of lad twelve years Old, the
only CHILD Of his parents, was the sad and
shocking sight which presented itself, with
the snake coiled near his neck.

the greatest of American poets. Last year
they issued beautiful crayon picture OF
Henry w. Longfellow, drawn on stone by

class Of work, and as fitting companion
piece to that work OF art they have just
now published a portrait of William Gull

the same artist. The subject is grand and
honored one, and the artist has treated il
in worthy manner. The portrait will be

The County Clerks Of this State, consti-
uting the Stale board of canvassers, met
at the State house in Montpelier on Tues
day for the purpose OF canvassing the votes
for electors of President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. Hon. Royal
Tyler of this county was elected chairman
of the board. Stephen c. Shurtlef OF
Montpelier appeared and submitted an ar
gument against counting the votes cast for
Henry n. Sollace of Bridport, and asking,
first, leave 10 show by proof that Sollace
was postmaster at the the time of the cleo
lion; second, that the board certify the facts
in the case to the Governor and Secretary
OF State third, that the board declare four
of the Republican electors elected aud that
there is either a vacancy or that the person
receiving the highest number Of votes on
the Democratic ticket Is elected. Freder-
lex E. Woodbridge and Warren c. French
appeared for the Republicans, and in reply
to Mr.. Shurtlef claimed that the board had
no power 10 go behind the returns as present.
ed 10 them their Office is purely mniste-
rial and their duty is simply to count and
certify TO the votes actually cast. District
attorney Fifield advanced the same view,
aud also held that voting for all ineligible
candidate does not elect the next highest
candidate but simply creates a vacancy
which must be filed according TO law. Mr..
Shurtleff briefly responded and closed by
submit ting protest from two OF The Dem
ocratic candidates for electors against The
appointment OF Mr.. Sollace, and request
ing the board 10 declare the person having
the next highest number of votes elector
in his place. On motion OF John v. Hall
of Bennington, the board unanimously
passed the following resolution:
Resolved, That this board Of canvassers
are of the opinion that their powers are
simply ministerial, and that their duties
are already defined by the statutes of the
State, and they therefore decline to hear or
receive evidence outside of the certificates
OF votes by the proper town authorities.
The board then proceeded to canvass and
count the votes given for electors OF presi-
dent and vice president OF the United
States, and certified 10 the governor that of
all the legal votes polled, Jacob Estey,
Charles E. Houghton, Henry N. Sollace,
Roswell Farnham aud Alvin C. Welch had
ANNNANNA htN AAbhN9e VI NOANo
were duly, elected electors.
This action OF the board is, beyond ques-
ton, strictly according to law, and undoubt-
edly settles the case Of the "Vermont Post
MASTER about which so much talk has
been made, although it is reported that the
Democrats will ask the Supreme Court of
the State for an injunction in January. No
sensible person has ever for a moment
doubted that Vermonrs five electoral votes
would be given TO Hayes and Wheeler, as
the people, by an overwhelming majority,
intended they should be. II, when the
electors meet TO cast their ballots on the
first Wednesday in December, there is a
vacancy hom absence, ineligibility or any
other cause, twill be filled according to
law, and that will be the virtual end of the
matter r. D... a...t .r...U ... .......

THE ENGLISH ARCTIC EXPEDITION
The English. conclusion on their Arctic
expedition, just returned, is that the ex-
plorers met a hard winter. They found
none of the open waters and abundant ami
NAL life that DIR. Kane and the Polaris par
ty have reported in the extreme latitudes.
Capt. Mares found, on the contrary, the
waters closed with ice from 20 TO $50 feet
deep, animal life very scanty, and nothing
but uncomfortable cold and dark. The fact
that the expedition, with subsidy OF $500,
600, achieved no moro than Capt. Hall did
with 100000, will give occasion 10 a more
just estimate of the work of the Polaris
party, which the British writers have hero
.tofore rather looked down upon. .,.t,.

THE LOUISIANA ELECTION LAw.-1his
law is very explicit. 1t makes it the duty
ofthe parish supervisors TO report to the
returning board the facts as to any vio-
lenee, force, intimidation, or fraud, which
may be committed. The board is required
to take notice Of such reports, 10 invesli-
gate them, and take evidence, and il they
are legally sustained the vote of such par
ish "shdU be excluded from the count"
The language of this law is unmistakable.
The returning board can pursue only one
course. 1t must obey the law. This 1t pro-
poses TO do ) and 1t is the expectation of the
Republicans that such evidence will be
presented to the board as will satisfy rea-
sonable men that gross outrages on the
freedom OF the ballot were perpelrated,
and that the votes of certain parishes must
bO rejected. The Republicans therefore
plant themselves, upon the law, and the
whole law, and intend to proceed legally.

Of Allan Pinkerton's employees, arrested
two notorious men named "Jack" Hughes,

OF late been out on bail. Mullen is Chi
cago thief and counterfelter, and keeps a
saloon on West Madison street, where both
were captured. 1t is established beyond a

We believe this from the Hampshire
Gazette gives expression to the best Re-
publican sentiment of the country on the
question of the count OF the votes In the
doubtful States: There are few, If any,
Republicans in the country who want
Hayes counted in as President, unless it
can be shown that he is fairly and legally
elected. They do not want it done by any
manipulation Of the returns, by any count
ing of votes not cast, or throwing ont of
votes legally cast, or by any means other
than those known TO and sanctioned by the
laws. They want the strictest fidelity TO
law and honesty observed in every pro-
ceedlng. On the other hand, they do not
want "a count of the votes actually cast"
II 1t can be shown that such votes have
been east dishonesty. II there has been
dishonest voting, any count of the voles
thus cast, however honest such count may
be, cannot change its character. There
must be honest voting as well as honest
counting, in order TO make an honest cleo
ton. And this, as We understand it, is
precisely what the Republicans are en-
deaVOring to get at. Anything short of
this will not satisfy the country.

Our report OF the death OF Daniel Bel
KNAPP, in last weeks paper, is said to have
been erroneous In stating intoxication as
the cause of his death. At least no evil
dence OF intoxIcation appeared at the in
quest which was held by Justice of the
Peace, s. W. Wilson. Mr.. Belknap was at
town meeting Tuesday, and on returning
in the afternoon stopped 10 attend funeral.
So far as is known he was last seen when
passing The house Of Mr.. Bailey, one mile
and half from his home. His watch stop
ped at half-psst six. He was about 62 years
of age and quite feeble. Some years ago
he lost one eye by the falling OF derrick !;
he had but little use OF one of his legs The
evening was rainy and very dark. II ap-
pears that he missed the highway when
near his home, and fell into a shallow pond
where he vas f0und partially covered with
water. His cane was near his right hand
snd bis cap some two feet from his head
No marks of violence were found, and it
appears that being exhausted by his long
walk, aud perhaps stunned by the fall, he
had not strength 10 extrieate him self from
the water. The fscts Indicate clearly that
he came 10 his death 10y accidental drown
ing.
