ing the list Of officers whose vote the Board
shall canvass. The power to canvass this
vote, not being specifically conferred upon
the Board, he contends resides in him,
as he is required by a Uuited States
law to issue Electors certificates,
and must canvass the vote in order that he
may decide who is entitled to the certi6-
Gates. The Democrats contend that Electors
are included under the head of estate off,

Butter Out of Mud.

Whatever credulity has been felt in
reference to the manufacture of butter
from Thames mud there now appears,
says the Medical Examiner, to be no
doubt of the fact that such butter is
made, and in no inconsiderable quanti-
ties. But the precise nature of the ma
terial and it's mode of collection have,
we believe, remained an undiscovered
mystery until the present time. 1t ap-
pears that as much as IS Cd day can,
under favorable circumstances, be
earned at low tide by explOrers-prOp-
erly equipped and with keen knOwl-
edge of their work-on the north bank
of the Thames below Dagenham. Here
these persons collect oleaginous globes.
These globes, originally made of cork,
matted with hair and woody fibers, are
diligently planted for the purpose, grow
to the size of walnut or cricket-ball in
the water by the action of the tides,
which cover them with grease. The
grease thus obtained is from the drain
pipes of our factories and slOp-sewers
of our kitchens, and in consistency and
color it resembles Russian tallow. The
process by which this questionable fat
is ultimately manufactured into an ar
ticle of food unobjectionable to the eye
and palatable to the taste is necessarily
exciting public curiOsity.-LondoD Ian

South Carolina.

A dispatch from Columbia, S. c., 18th,
says: The result Of tabulating the returns
Of the County Canvassers gives the State to
the Hayes Electors by majorities varying
from go to 1,133. Counsel for Democrats
Immediately filed exceptions to the aggrega-
ton on the ground Of irregularities, errors
and omissions between the Managers re-
turns and the statements of the County Cam
vassers, which they claim will change the
result. The Supreme Court will, it is I'M
derstOOd, direct the Board in its duties at
the final count.
The South Carolina Supreme Court, on
the 22d, issued peremptOry mandamus to
the Board OF State Canvassers to issue GER
tifcates to members of the Senate and
House Of Representatives appearing on face
OF returns to be elected, the final contests in
the House to be decided by the members
themselves. The effect of this
order would be to place the organization Of
the Legislature in the hands Of the Con-
servatiyes. The Legislature counts the
votes for Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor and elects a United States Senator.
The Court also, in the case Of the Electors,
ordered the Board to show cause why they
should not correct the statements
of the County Canvassers by
the precinct returns in their possession.
Pending these proceedings of the Court,
however, the Board held a session and is
sued certificates to all the members Of the
Legislature, except for Laurens and Edge
field Counties, thus securing majority Of
the Legislature to the Republican side, and
the defeat of Hampton and the election Of
Chamberlain. The Board also issued GER
tificates of election to the Hayes and Wheel
er Electors and all the Republican
State ticket. The Board then adjourned
sine die. The action of the Board caused
great excitement, and Gen. Hampton is
sued an address to the people, advising
all to keep the peace, and assuring them
that the action Of the Board could have no
legal effect whatever.
In explanation of their course in adjourn
ing sine die, the Board Of Canvassers claim
that by law their term Of office-ten days
expired at noon on the 22d. The returns Of
Laurens were rejected by vote Of two yeas
to three nays, and those Of Edgefeld by a
vote of one yea to four nays. The Court,
on the 23d, issued an order reconvening the
Board of Canvassers, hut it was generally
understood that no attention would be paid
to the order.
The South Carolina Supreme Court re-
at p. m. on the oath, in response
to the rule previously Issued, requiring the
Board of Canvassers to show cause why
they should not be committed for contempt.
Counsel for defense asked for delay, which
was refused, and the Court issued instruc-
tons for the drawing up of an order Of
to be executed on the following

Queer Story of an Ohio Man.

On last Thursday night, says the Gal
weston Nel0S, Mr.. E. S. jefferson reach
ed this city by the midnight train. He
had no money, and, worse still for him,
no friends or acquaintance in this
place. He was directed to report to the
Police Station for whatever attention he
might require by some one to whom he
communicated his distress. He did so,
and yesterday morning sought a private
interview with Capt. Atkins, which re-
suited substantially in the following dis
closure. When he first began his con-
versation with the Chief of Police, he
seemed to be greatly depressed, and
gave expression to his feelings in flood
of tears. Calming himself, however,
under the kind assurances of that officer,
he communicated these facts respect
ing himself:
On the 11th day of October last he
left his home in Thornville, Ohio, where
he is engaged in business as merchant,
and went to Columbus, some ten miles
distant, for the purpose of purchasing
some goods. He made his purchases
and had them duly shipped, and, feel
ing badly, went to his room at the hotel,
and ordering fire lay down and fell
asleep. When he awoke the hour for
the departure of the train had passed,
and on reaching the depot he found that
he was left, and was, consequently, CON-
PEELED to await the next train. He re-
turned to his room, and was on time for
the train, which he remembers board
ing, but subsequent to that act he has
no recollections whatever of any thing.
He told Captain Atkins that he had Sl1O
in money when he left Columbus, but
what he had done with it, OF
how he came to Galveston, he
knows nothing whatever. The
clothes he has on, he says, are strange
to him, and where he got them,
or by what means he obtained them, be
is in the most profound ignorance.
Capt. Atkins asked him if he was a
drinking man, to which he responded,
saying that he never drank any thing
He is reported to be tine-lOoking gen
tleman, about 80 years of age, vel
dressed, and bearing all the indications
of a cultured man. He secured rooms
at clearinghouse by aid of Capt. At
kins, who sent a telegram to his uncle
living in ThOrnville, Ohio, giving full
account of his condition and necessi
ties. Mr.. Jefferson says that he know;
of nothing to which his misfortune can
be attributed except to a hereditary
predisposition to insanity in his family
one of his uncles having been SINH
larry affected some years ago. Infor

RECENT advices from Gen. Crook in
dictate that he considers that the Indian
war will soon be ended. He writes
that he will prosecute the winter cam
paign with energy, so that it will close
before the season is too far advanced.
He says that there are hardly any Indi-
ans on the war-path except the band
under Crazy-Horse, which is not very
numerous, and about 1900 Indians who
are estimated to be yet with Sitting
Bull, and supposed to have gone north.
Even should these latter confront
Gen. Crook, it is believed that he
will have sufficient force under him to
contend successfully with the hostiles.
But the opinion prevails strongly that
SittingBull will not fight any more,
and that the harassing he has been
subjected to and the losses he has suf-
fered in the large numbers of followers
who have deserted him will cause him
TO fly northward. 1t is not believed
that he or his followers will come into
the Agencies. 1t is feared that Gen.
Crooks command will experience sim
liar and as great suffering now as they
did last year on the plains.
