low-grade ore. "Well," replied the one
questioned, closely examining a piece
from the pile, "If you ars in luck aud
have sacx you may get the tailings."

The question Of authority as TO the
ruling out Of electoral votes is creating
considerable discussion. since Jerry
Blacks recent alleged advice to South
Carolina Democrats to let the election
90. and thus give the Democrats House
Of Representatives power to throw out
the vote OF that State on the ground Of
being illegal. Tho only time that any,
thing OF the kind has happened was in
the winter of 1867. when severe
snow storm prevented the Wisconsin
electors from meeting at Madison till
three days after the appointed time.
When the roll OF States was called the
ensuing February. the Democratic
President of the Senate ruled Wiscon.

in such an instance, the Supreme Cour,
Of the United States has not power to
take action and decide rs to such pre-.

The Careful Man.

Soon after noon yesterday a
stranger entered u woodward
avenue hardware store and asked if
they kept shinglo mills thore. BE,
ing informed that they had n dozen
kegs on hand, he further inquired
Are they genuine shinglo nails
OF only imitations?"
"Thcy arc shingle nails, OF
course
Let me see them"
A handful WAS placed on the
counter before him, and he tool;
several nails to tho door where he
could get a stronger light. After
scanning them thoroughly he tcstet
two or three between his teeth
tIicd to bend them between his
fingers, md said
"M ell. they seem to be all right
and Ill take five pounds. I don't
want to appear captious, but
bought some shinglc nails along
here somewhere about a month ago
crrricd them home, and what do yor
suppose they turned out to be"
'';Six-pcnnics p answered tn,

No sir. They were shoc-pcgs

"That was strange" unused the
clerk.
"And another time when I order

stranger, "tho clerk put up foul

"Curious mistake that" said tho

Opinions Of the Pross.

Tho following extracts, taken from
loading Now York papers, show to
/ some cxtont what is thought of the
the action of tho State Board of Can.
vassers.
The Uerala says "This is vcr Y
sharp practice. If tho Supro me
Court cannot support it's authority,
which the board havo dcfied, tho
State must be counted for Hayo s
The audacity Of this act bctrays
groat desperation. If undonc, in the
course Of justice, it will stand as a
monumental infamy.
Tho Post Qtop.) says: "Thobost
thing tho South Carolina board of
canvassers cnn do is to roasscmblc.
The country will not bo satisfied
with proceedings which look like
sharp practice. We admit that tho
Supreme Court itself il not FREQ
from suspicion Of sharp practice.
No Appearance OF judicial sharp
practicc, however, can excuse tho
sharp practice of tho cunvassors. In
the irst place tho conservative
opinion Of the country demands re-
srcct for the juls'nent" Of tho con-
stituted tribunals, and it is bottor
that decision which is wrong shall
be obcycl than That it should be
usoDeycd, even to secure Il right
end. Tho proceedings yesterday in
South CAROLINE Will not convince the
country that the canvubs iB honest
and fair"
Tho Times itdm) says: "TEc
South Curolina board of canvasscrs
have recognized somewhat late their
mistake III submitting their action to
the roriow andcontrol of the Supreme
Court. In issuing it's orders to n
judicial body Of entirely indopend-
ent Jurisdiction, that Court was
guilty of u manifest usurpation, and,
IN consonting to argue the case be-
fore tho Court, tho board OF can
vassers gave these orders IN appear
anco of validity which could not
otherwise have boon claimed for
them. The clear intention of the
majority OF the Supreme Court WAS
to do the work Of tho Democrats at
Whatever sacrifice of constitutional
right and common justice"
The World (Dcm.) says: "Tho
board OF canyassors yesterday stolo
tho electoral vote of thnt State
openly from tho Supreme Court,
with tho avowed object of offering it
to Hayes. The robbery was brazen
and Shameless, and it rests with the
American people to decide whether
thcy will surrender the control of
their government to such hands, or
maintain their liberties, solf-rcspoct
and prosperity by enforcing tho
remedies of tho law against Il lawless
conspiracy without parallel in our
NnnnlH."

"Evorything Is very quiet in the

Thus is Mr.. Swan left in tho

AS an excursion train of eighteen
heavily loaded cars on tho Vermont
division Of tho Portland and Oglcns-
burg railroad had commenced the
descent of heavy grade, between
st. Johnsbmy and the Connecticut
river, the engineer deserted three
cattle upon the track just in ad-
vance Of him. TO drive or frightcn
them from the track, or to scasona
bly, stop tho train, was impossible
Instantly ho decided upon his
course. Ho sent the fireman tc
disconncct his engine and tender
from tho train, whistlcd "dow,

plunged forward alone, and with the
fearful impetus thus gained threw
the cattle from tho track He Thor
quietly allowed the train to ovcrtakt
him again, connected it and con
tinued on, his passengers knowing
nothing Of the fearful danger they
had escaped by his bravery, his
quick wit, and his fidelity tx

Pitching TWe1ty-DollarG Gold Pieces.

While the dispute was in progress
Sim Ornloif and Joe Stewart sot up
Il couple Of pegs in the ground, and
began to pitch half dollars. A crowd
gathered about the pegs, md tho
pitching was SO abominably bad that
lmlf II dozen more took hand in, by
the kind permission Of James and
Joseph, who Immediately began to
develop some excellent pitching, and
rakcd in the pots alternately, to the
surprise Of about n dozen mon who
entered the samo under tho impress
sion that they had something soft.
All interest in tho race was now lost,
and each pitch was hailed with a
shout of derision or burst of mp
plausc. The way tho two original
pitchers began to gather in n harvest
of silver was n caution. Finally it
was suggested that they pitch twen~
/ W dollar gold pieces, and this change
OF programme had q thinning effect
on the pitchers. A number of solid
men now came to the front, and
gradually pretty stiff game dcvel-
oped, beginning at two dollars and
n half IL pitch, and gradually crawl
ing up TO twenty dollars. Only ono
pot Of this kind, however, was PLAYED.
