first step they take towards it is to reduce the
servants wages, say 50 cents per week: Now,

there was an article entitled as above, signed
"sccond Corps" calling attention to a singular
omission in Gen. Howard's essay on "The Cam

for July.
"Sccond Corps" failed to state in bis COM
munication that the artillery recaptured by the
three regiments of Carroll's Brigade was all the
artillery of the Eleventh Corps (Howard's own)
on Cemetery Hill. This singular omission Of
Gen. Howard in lis article in the atlantic IS IN

his Official report; and not until after his Chief
Of Artillery lad published article in the Army
and Nary Jourma giving caol a the n2aa credit ea Of
the night OF the ri of July, did Gen. Howard
officially acknowledge the services rendered him

lmpOItsIIt Points.

Three very important points are de-
veloped by review of the manner of
counting the electoral vote, all of which
are Of essential consequence at this time
First, that from 1893 down to 1873 the
tcllers of the two houses counted the
votes, and handed the result to the
President of the Senate, whose fune.
tlcn consisted in merely announcing the
result. second, that long prior to the
adoption of he twenty second joint rule
the two houses affirmed their right to
scrutinize the electoral vote and decide
upon the reception or non-reception of
