evidence In the Van Kuren case, and saw
they have no doubt that Mrs. Van Kuren's
staten ents are TO some extent correct: thai
is, that her son had vermin both upon mis-
head and body, and that be had been in fais
eondition Tor some considerable time; which,
want, at least, OF that strict and scrupuious
attenilon upon the part OF attendants and
superintencents OF wards which should al.
ways characterize the mana gement of an
institution OF this kind. SO far as personal
violence to this patient is concerned, the
committee do not think the evidence suffi-
elent 10 sustain the charge. That the quick
perception OF an affectionate mother may

REJECTION OF ELECTORAL VoTEs.- Wash
9igton, Oct. l6.-There has been considerable
discussion of late in regard to the
possible course of the counting of electoral
votes on the second Wednesday of Febru
ary next In case the Presidential election
Should be very close and turn upon the
counting or rejection of the vote of single
otaIe. Democrats here have asserted that
IN case the election of Gov. Hayes should
turn upon accepting the vote of South Caro-
ma the House would object, and under
the twenty-second joint rule which provides
that II either House persists in obiecting
10 receive the vote of any State it shall
not be received, they would prevent its
being counted, and thus defeat the cleo
ton OF Hayes. Several similar cases have
formed the discussion here. 1t is, however.
a TACT, though not generally known, that
thus lar the XLIVth Congress has not
adopted any joint rules. Each Congress
enacts its own rules. The practice has
been at the opening of the session to pass
resolutions adopting the rules of the previ
Gus Congress, and generally such resolu
tlon passes as matter of course. At the
last session, however, the House adopted
the rules; the Senate failed to concur: and
consideration of the subject went over un-
der an objection to present consideration
oy senator Edmunds. AS final result the
session closed without adopting Joint rules,
ana the twenty-second rule fell with the
rest. This left the joint convention for
counting the electoral vote without anyrules
other than the constitutional provisions for
lts meeting and the opening of the votes bv
the President of the Senate and tho count
ing OF the same.-N. J. Tribune.

SCANDAL CASE IN PHILAGRLPHIA-There
Is lively church scandal Of the Brooklyn
order exciting Kensington, and which is
one Of the matters of common talk every
where. II refers to the Rev. Mr.. Bott,
pastor of the 18th Baptist church, at Rich
mond and ShackaInaxon streets. There
was business meeting at the church last
Tuesday evening at which member made
statement charging Mr.. BOtt with certain
unclerical doings which naturally caused a
great tumult. Finding that he could not
stop the proceedings, the minister vacated
his place in the pulpit, left the church and
went rapidly up the street. Mr.. Bott,
though diligently pursued by the father Of
the young woman who figures without a
name in the story, managed to escape ven
geance for the time. It was this chase
through the streets which gave the whole
affair its particular zest. 1t is said the in.
iuriated parent, in the unwonted vigor oi
MS movements, let fall from his mouth a
set OF artificial teeth, and that the time lost
IN their recovery gave Bott an advantage
which could not subsequently be redeemed
hr. Bott is young, married, and is sreported
70 possess moving" power in the pulpit
which greatly endsared him to his congre
out.

The BUSINESS OUTLooK.-Messrs. Dun
Barlow d Co., in their quarterly circular
announce 2,450 failures in the United States
during the three months ending Sept. 80. a
number not exceeded in any quarter except
the first quarter of this year. The number
OF failures during nine months of 1876 is
1850, which is more than one per cent. OF
all business firms. Prior to 1873 the aver
age was not more than one-half of one per
cent yearly, and during the three years
ISI3-lS15 inclusive it was barely one per
cent. yearly. In number of failures, there
fore, there is no hopeful sign, for
the aggregate already exceeds in nine
months the total of any entire year except
1873. Mr.. Wiman, the accomplished sta.
tlstician by whom these circulars are pre-
pared, however, takes care to point out a
more encouraging feature of the returns,
namely, the decrease in the average liabili-
ties Of firms failing, which, if general, he
properly regards as an indication of a
sounder condition of business. The aver,
age during the quarter just closed is
Sl9,533, more than one-third less than the
average for the corresponding quarter last
year.-N. 7. Tribune.

CHIMNEYs AND FURNACE FLUEs.-Those
who have not done so should carefully ex.
anime their chimney and furnace flues be-
fore starting their fall fires. Furnaces,
whose pipes are taken down inithe summer,
are apt to be very foul from SCOT and dust,
and this, when dry, burns like tinder. Hot
air pipes, too, need cleaning thoroughly
every year, as the dust that accumulates
from sweeping and the odds and ends Of
paper and rag clippings that get into the
registers, and the toys and slices of bread
and butter and strings and spools Of thread,
and mittens, and other combustible articles
poked down the same by the baby-all
these make horrid Togo when they warm
up, and besides creating a household mys-
terry as to "where that fearful smell comes
FROM" and compelling sudden "phew'
from everybody who enters the house is,
moreover, very unwholesome.

The SOUTH's CLAIMS OF MoNEY.-Extract
from letter to the New York Eceninq Post:
. am convinced that there is another
question even of paramount Importance,
not that of the bloody Shirt but that
which appears to underlie all action of the
Southern democracy, namely, 'the determi-
nation by its solid vote for Mr.. Tilden to
secure again the control of the government,
IN order to demand and receive its pay.
What this pay is was recently communica-
ted to gentleman in this city by resident
in Alabama, who was his guest. Said he
We are not reconstructed; we intend to
obtain remuneration for our slaves, our cot
ton, our cotton taxes, our bonds, and all OF
our losses-not by force of arms, but by the
acts of the Democratic party. We intend to
carry our States by keeping the negroes
away from the polls, if not by one method,
then by another. This is our PLAN"

CATHARINE X. SPEAR, late wife of Mr.. Andrew
Spear Leipse, was born at Odessa Sept 26th 1896
She the daughter of Owen G. and Mary A. Crow Of
this place. Much Of her early life was spent in
Smyrna, and she was well known to many of its in
habitants. Those who knew her best will hold her
memory most sacredly. for she a woman of more
than ordinary character Perhaps she was naturally
amiable, but being most decided and earnest chris
tian every natural charm was heightened, and dis
position Of uncommon lOveliness was the result.
Many are the Stories recalled to mind by her unex-
pected departure which illustrate her amiabe
character It is not necessary 10 record them. But il
is due that the death Of pure should not pass
without special notice. The community who knew
her well cannot but be interested to learn how she
met the all-conquering- -king-death. Her death was
very unexpected and has shocked not only her i'm.
mediate family and friends but the entire community
Her faith and patience tested by season OF fear
full suffering, which was met in true christian tort
tude and resignation and her exit was in an exsacy
of triumph. Her end was more than peaceful. When
too far gone 70 speak her Masters praise or testify tc
her spiritual triumph she lifted and waved her hand
in token Of her perfect victory. She leaves sadly
bereayed husband and five children and aged parents
for whose salvation she is known 10 have prayed onf
and earnestlyand not in vain. May her rich legacy
of christian example be greatly priced by her many
| friends
