MAGNETIC SOAP


The Cheapest Soap that can be used for
the following reasons;
lst.-One bar will go as far as two Of any
other,
2d.-Only half tho usual rubbing being
required, there is a saving of more
than the entire cost Of the Soap IN
labor alone. .-..
3d.-The clothes are made Sweet, Clean
and white without Boiling or Scald-
ing, thus all injury to them is avoid
ed. There is saving in fuel and
hard work, and the washing is done
in about half the usual time.
It is also guaranteed under a penalty of
fifty dollars not to injure the clothes or
hands, and as ono trial will enable any
person to ascertain the truth of these
statements, it would never pay the pro-
prietor to engage in an extensive system
of advertising and claim such decided
merit for his Soap unless ne knew from
positive experience that ii would prove to
be in every respect what is claimed for it.
This is also a superior Soap tor Toilet
and Shaving purposes.

Counting the Electoral Vote.

Under the caption of counting the
electoral vote, late issue of the New
York Times has an eloquent article
After debating the process of law up
to the time of counting the vote, the
Times goes on and saws:
Congress must be in session on the
second Wednesday in February sue
ceeding every meeting of the electors.
and, in the presence of the Senate and
the House, the votes are opened. When
This is done the question: Who are
the electors together with the addi-
tional one, For whom have they voted?
are both answered by the certificate of
the Executive of each State, identify
ing the electors. aud by the statement
of the electors themselves as to their
votes. Under these distinct provisions
of the law. the certificates of the Gov.
ernors of Florida, Louisiana and South
Carolina must settle all doubt as to
The vote Of those States. How the
Governor of any State reaches the con-
clusiun TO which he certifies, how he
knows who have been chosen electors
tor his State, and what checks there
are upon any abuse of his power in
giving the certificate-these are mat
tiers for the respective States. Con-
gress has never legislated regarding
them, and has no power to do so. 1t
only requires for the purpose of clearly
the votes which are to
be counted in its presence, that the
Executive of each State shall certify
to the names of its electors.
Whatever confusion there is, arises
at the moment the counting is about
to commence. "The constitution does
not expressly declare" says Judge
X emf, "by whom the votes are TO be
counted and the result declared" And
there is now no provision of either
law or joint rule OH the subject. We
are left entirely at the precedent and
the only which has been made under a
precisely similar state of law was
made in 1857, when Senator Mason,
President of the Senate, declined to
any objection to the recep-
ion of the vote of Wisconsin. and de-
cleared that nothing was in order but
he counting of the votes.
Judge Kent, who is authority on
law, in his Commenta-
lies, vol. l, page 277, says:
The constitution does not expressly |
,ay bv whom the votes are to be |
and the result declared. In |
he case of questionable votes, and
loosely contested election, this power
nay be all-important; aud, presume.
n the absence of Legislative provision
IN the subject, that the President of
he Senate counts the vote, and de-
ermines the result, and that the
louise are present only as spectators,
o witness the fairness and accuracy of
he transaction, and to act only if no
hoice is made by the electors.
This would seem 10 settle the case.
With Blaine President of the Senate
istice will be done, and that is all
nat Republicans ask for.

Wichita Wheat.

The wheat buyers of Wichita have
combined aud send a inau to Atchison
with each lot of wheat that goes, to
protect themselves at Atchisn eleya-
tors. 1t seems that the railroad COM
pany has no cars to spare to 60 east,
and this necessitates a transfer at At
Gibson. The Wichita buyers complain
that it comes out of the elevator an

We don't know who started this
falsehood. The SPIRIT did not origin
ate it. The wheat coming into this
market from Wichita, and other points
GIL the A. 4. u S. +. road, and destin-
ed for points east. is not transferred by
the elevators of this city. The A. l.
IL 5. f. company does its own trans
ferring. Consequently the Wichita
dealers can have no need TO send a man
TO Atchison to protect themselves al

Presidential Situation.

Since our last issue The most inpor-
tant change that has taken place in the
yet unsettled Presidential question is
The concession Of South Carolina to
Hayes by the Democrats. Their claim
of 5000 majority suddenly disappear
ed when Wade Hampton telegraphed
that the State had gone against his
friend Tilden. The next important
move to be noted is that the Louisiana
board of canvassers agreed 10 the ad-
mission OF prominent men of both par
ties TO the count. The vote of that
State is being canvassed now, and
there seems to he little doubt OF its
being for Hayes by handsome major
ity. As 10 Florida the committee OF
Northern men who are At the capital
teleg:aphs that there arc no doubts
with reference TO her vote. She is
stronger for Hayes than either of the
other two States. The frauds commit
ted in some Of the river parishes OF
Louisiana are astounding. Where sew
eral thousand Republicans registered
there would be but two or three Re
publican votes returned, and so on to
the end Of The chapter. The only sim
gle clement in which there is the least
doubt is Florida, and that doubt comes
of a fear Of manipulation of the five
counties not yet reported.
Before going 10 press we hope to gel

The Voice Of Kansas.

| Buchanan's blood-handed Democra.
CIV rushed from all parts Of the Solid
| South, some years ago, to brow-beat
and intimidate Kansas into pro-slav-
cry Democratic vote. Hundreds of
of white Republicans (there were no
negroes there) were murdered in cold
blood their stock driven off; their
wives ana daughters ravished before
their frees, and then left to perish like
wild beasts. The town of Lawrenco
was sacked and burned, and its streets
ran with blood in raid made
upon its principal citizens by Quar-
trell, the Democratic guerilla. Presi-
dent Buchanan and Samuel j. Tilden
looked with approval on this method
of PROSECUTING Kansas to Democracy
by the same tactics which the white
Democracy have preserved for the past
ten years in Louisiana, and especially
this year and last.
And now Kansas. redeemed and dis
enthralled from the military despotism
of Buchan Democracy, with not SOL
der in her borders, and exercising her
local freedom TO the fullest extent,
gives Hayes 10000 majority. Every
County III tne Cti'c mas SoHc lcpuoll-
can Let Louisiana Democats take
warning. The day is not far distant
when not single parish in her boun-
daries will even give a Democratic
vote, for Democracy will become more
odious there than it is in Kansas. For
every Republican murdered there, for
opinions sake, will come hundred TO
take his place. The pelican is now
feeding her young with her blood

Blaine President Of the Senate.

influential Republicans in Washing
ton talk of the election OF Mr.. Blaine
to the Presidency of the Senate as
an event likely to ensue Immediately
after the re-assembling of Congress.
Ii such action should be taken it
would of course be to provide for
possible contingency which might
leave a vacancy in the offices of both
President and Vica-President of the
United States after 4th of March, and
devolve the powers of the Executive
upon the presiding officer of Senate.
A prominent Democratic newspaper
lately suggested that if Hayes was de-
clared elected by the votes of Florida
and Louisiana, the Democratic House
would refuse to go into joint sesseion
in February to connt the votes, and
would thus make the election incon-
plete and abortive. If there should
be disposition shown to take such a
course, the Senate will see the govern
ment is administered by competent and
resolute hands in the interregnum of
year which would elapse before
new election could be had under the
Constitution, and the President then
chosen inaugurated. 1t is scarcely
probable that Mr.. Blaine would accept
the place under other circumstances
than these. The Presidency of the
Senate is seldom desired by its infiuen-
tial members, because the occupant of
the chair is deprived of the opportrni-
ty for taking part in the discussions
and work of the body, aud has, in the
way of compensation for this loss al
most none of the power possessed by
the Speaker of the House.

tinue TO be made before them by sim

Delegates from Georgetown say that
rather than have consolidated Gov
ernment for the entire district; they
prefer a retrocism OF the territory of
Georgetown to Maryland.
Senator Spencer has prepared two
bills for the Government of the Dis
trict. One fixes the relations of the
Z. S. Government TO the District, and
provides for its government by o
board of supervisors and council. The
other provides for an ordinary munich
pal government with jurisdiction over
the entire District.
