The spcoulations as to tho possible conse-
quencos Of vacancy III tho Electoral COL
lege, whether occasioned by kidnapping, foul
play, or casually, have evidently, for tho
most part, beon based upon misapprehcn-
sion Of tho law. Section 1873 Of the United
Statcs statutes provides TINT teach State
may, by law, provide for the filling Of auy
vacancies which may occur in its College Of
Electors when such College meets to give It's
Electoral vote" Under tho authority thus
conferred, it Is believed provision has boon
made by all tho States for filling any vacan-
cies that may occur. There haa been no iu-
stance, except in the case OF Nevada in 1864,
when ono OF tho Electors was absent,
in which the full vote Of the
Ecctornl College WIS not cast, which goes to
confirm that opinion. The Illinois statuto.
~ already stated in TttE TRIBUNE, provides
that "in case any person declared duly elect
ed IN Elector slnl1 fail to attend at
tho State-Houso at or before tho
hour Of 12 o'clock, noon, of the day on
which his vote is required to be given, 1t
shall DO the duty Of tho Electors !. i.
attending to appoint person or persons to
flll such vacancy" Tho statute Of Wiscon-
sin Is identical in effect; that Of Ohio, in
force since 1920, varies from ours only in
phrasoology, and it may reasonably be as
sumed there is no reason to apprehend diff
hcu1ty upon that point i'll my event.

THOMAS A. Born had tough work escaping
defeat at the hands Of the irate Peoriana. His
own county reduced its Democratic majority
one-ha1f to give him chance, but 1t ought to
have done better for him. In the four counties
the majo1ities aro reported as follows:

These figures glgo Doyp d majority Of 2s7s.
The serious charges against him were TINT as q
State Senator he voted against removing the
Capital from Springfield to Peoria, and that two
years ago he opposed the election OF WHITING,
and voted for bis Democratic opponent. In re-
venge for these acts, Peoria "wcnt for him, !"
and had not Knox, who preserved her temper
and kept cool, stepped In and given him m I'm
nense majority, he would hare been buried out

Yesterdays Rifle Match.

We think that the general feeling among
our citizens regarding the result of yester-
days contest at Creedmoor will be tinged
with regret that our gallant visitors,
the Irish rifemen, did not carry
off the victory. '''Tis not in mortals
to command success" but surely no
number of gentlemen more fully
deserved it. If it has fallen to our marks
men to defeat them in four successive con-
tests the Irish rifemen have not undergone
the ordeal without gaining the admiration of
their opponents and the esteem of Americans
all over the Union. We are fully aware
of the difficulties Of getting together
team ''sure to win" in country where the
possession Of rifle by private person is
matter of direct governmental grace and
special license; but narrow as this, restric-
ton makes the choice, Major Leech
must at least be congratulated on the
character of the marksmen he has found
himself called on to lead at Creedmoor
and Dollymount. AS Miner and johnson
found their way with such unerring pre-
cision to the bull's-eye SO the whole team
has made mark upon the affections of
America which will not soon be effaced.
In the course of the matches the
HERALD, by publishing its diagrams
of the shooting, has endeavored, and
with fattering success, to second the
efforts of the rifemen to bring q beautiful
and manly sport into merited prominence.
1t is gratifying to know that while subserv-
ing this good end we have contributed
to swell the chorus of appreciation which
has greeted the efforts of such excellent
gentlemen and fine shots. The international
communion in manly sports will do more to
preserve the peace and good nature of the
world than all the treaties that the most
careful diplomatist could draw. The puff
of the rifle has become among us the calumet
of peace. We must smoke yet another such
as yesterdays with our Irish friends.

FIavoring Extracts.

In the case of the man Roach and his
daughter, both of whom died suddenly
and as was thought from poison, it is
now reported that an autopsy has demon
strated that the cause of death was
cholera morbus and that no trace OF
poison was found. That no trace of poison
was found does not prove that the persons
did not die from poison, and cholera morbua
is rather name for a group of symptoms
than for q distinct pathological condition,
and the one fact in it's pathology is as likely
to be the consequence of poison as of any
other cause. All the family ate of meal and
two of them drank of beer with some drops
in it, and these two died, while no one else
was ill. It is not the meal, therefore, but
the beer or the drops that are indicated as
the sources of mischief, and there should be
further inquiry in regard to them. They
were either some favoring extract or some
one of the many cordials used by people who
compound. Only few days since dose Of
prussic acid was given to woman in the
form of one of these cordials in liquor shop
in the city, and they are commonly virulent
poisons In this case, if the drops were not
themselves poisonous, they probably COM
bined with some substance present in the,
beer and thus made poisonous compound, ;,

Lord Beaconsileld's Answer.

sSuperfuous lags the veteran on the
stage" Lord Beaconsfelds speech at
Aylesbury will induce his friends to regret
that he did not several years ago come to
that conclusion to retire from public life
which he reports himself as having reached
this year, and which was the immediate
cause of his elevation to the peerage. His
speech is great blunder. 1t is querulous
in tone, feeble rs to its logic and wild as to
it's politics. He deprecates the assault on
his government because 'there never was
an English government which had greater
difficulties to deal with than the present one
has," yet these difficulties are of his own
making the results of his policy or want of
policy. 1t is scarcely permissible Tor min
lister to allege in his defence those troubles
whose very existence is q main ground of re-
proach against him. This is like the culprit
who killed his father and mother and appealed
to the Judge mot to be hard on a poor
orphan" There is a sad want of tact in the
Premier's complaint that lis policy is not
"backed by the country" If q policy Is, in
England, not ''backed by the country" it
will in all likelihood not be backed in Par
lament; and in that case it would be wise
for the Minister to get another policy or re-
sign-unless, indeed, the Premier has dis
covered some plan for conducting the gov
ernment of England in defiance of Parlia-
ment. There have been premiers who
would face the Parliament and the country
alike where they believed themselves right.
and go grandly out of Office on q point of
principle; but the world would laugh out
right to see Lord Beaconsfeld assuming
such an attitude at the end of his career.
In the higher political atmosphere the want
of courtesy and justice in the reference to
Mr.. Gladstone will hardly add to the
Premier's fame.

Murder VIII Out.

This little declaration is succinct state
ment of theory as to murder in which
the world once had robust and i'm
plicit faith. But that faith has been
shaken in the later times. 1t is supposed
that there have been several cases in which
the crime of murder has been committed
without the fact becoming known even that
murder was done, and other cases in which
with the crime known the murderers have
remained undiscovered. People have paid
the less attention to this subject because it
has become matter of very little conse-
quence with us whether murder will out"
or not, inasmuch as the result is the same
the murderer commonly going free in either
case Indeed, it might be laid down as
general rule in this latitude that it is more
convenient for the murderer that his crime
should become known at once, inasmuch as
he is then tried and discharged and has no
further trouble while in the other event he
is for years tortured with anxiety, inasmuch
as he always believes justice to be severer
parsonage than he finds her on close ac-
quaintance. But the verdict against Lee
in regard to the Mountain Meadow massa-
ere seems like case of the real old fashioned
sort, and may in some degree revive the old
fashioned faith. His crime has been brought
home to him after twenty years, and it seems
highly probable that the punishment will
follow. 1t may be remembered that whole
train of emigrants-men, women and chill
dren-were murdered on that occasion by
the Mormons who had some Indians with
them to give color to the report they spread
that the murders were committed by the

in other parts Of the country, where the
mass of voters are desirous of o sound cur
rency as necessary preliminary to re-
vival of industry and business. The fol-
lowers of the political veteran who is affec-
tionately called 'sOlebillallen" may carry
Ohio for the democrats, but in doing SO they
may disgust and alarm the rest of the coun-
try so greatly as to seriously damage Cover

gain from tho turning of the Communistic

Deys IN Rlas.

The boys in blue are making Ane demon
stration at Indianapolis. They muster in
goodly numbers in the Western city and
their meetings and marches ara full of en-
thusiasm. A great number of generals ara
there but many of them are more famousin in
civil than they have ever been in military
contests. The gathering of these heroes haa
q political object. 1t is intended to aid the
republican cause, and their songs, with the
wornout burdens of "Oh! have you heard
the news from Maine?" and "Carry the news
to Tilden," would sound more becoming
in purely political meeting than in
a reunion of the soldiers who fought
in the war. After oil, these conventions Of
the '.Boys in Blue" called always about
election time, could be very well dispensed
with. They are at bottom neither more nor
less than Northern white leagues. The
Southerners commenced the foolish policy
of organizing such combinations, but that is
no reason why the Northerners should fol-
low the example. The war is over. If we
are to have political organizations of boys in
blue ut the. North there is no reason why
there should not be political organizations
of boys in gray at the South. Yet any
gathering of the latter would be regarded as
n reopening of the rebellion and an unpatri-
otic movement On the Union side demo-
Gratis and republicans fought shoulder to
shoulder. The politicians who affect so
much affection for the boy in blue love him
only on condition that he will vote on their
side, and not because he risked his life on
the field of battle to preserve the Union. The
sooner the blue uniforms and the gray dis
appear from our national politics the better
will it be for the country.

The PLANET VULcAN.-The existence OF
this planet, the nearest to the sun of which,
we have any knowledge, has been doubted. J
It is usually invisible in the suns light, and
has been seen at such long intervals that
many astronomers thought the discovery q
mistake. But q special cable despatch tq
the HERALD says the famous French
astronomer Leverrier asserts that the
transit of Vulcan over the face Of
the sun will be visible on the I'd or Sd Of
October. As American observations are nec-
essary for purposes of comparison our as
tronomers will undoubtedly make all prepa-
rations. OF all who have lived on the earth
it is probable that not half dozen men
have ever seen this mysterious planet that
hides itself in light, yet was found by those
laws of pure mathematics by which the as
tronomer discovers facts Of the solar system
which would otherwise remain forever un-
known.

War over the Eastern question is, there
fore, to be contemplated as one of the possi-
bilities of the politics of Europe. 1t does
not seem imminent just now. Indeed. there
is a state of truce made more by the conditions
of the weather than by the will of the parties
to the conflict and there is no likelihood
that even upon the expiration of that truce
hostilities will be resumed this year. But it
has always been difficult to please the many
parties that must be pleased before this case
can be settled by treaty, and it is not less
difficult now. And the issue of the truce may
only see the winter filled with the movement
of armies preparatory to tremendous opera
tions when the SHOWS are melted next year.
How will war in Europe affect America?
AS the conditions of the contest now stand
OuI ynpatuy Woulu 10 u4IOt5ceAo1 WALL suo-
sia. The Turk has no business in Europe.
1t is disgrace to the English name that
he should be permitted to oppress md
destroy Christian communities under the
protection Of English guns. There can
be no war, however, that will not be bene-
fit to America. 1t would bring back to our
flag the commerce we have lost. 1t would
reopen the channels of emigration. 1t would
strengthen every form of our trade and
industry. It would enable us to gain all
that we lost during our own four years of
lamentable war. We, of course, should not
be guilty of wishing tor war as material
advantage to ourselves. We trust that
peace will be preserved, and the material
greatness which would come by the desola-
ton of provinces and the strife of commune
ties is not desired by any American. The
Eastern question must be settled some time
or other, and in O contest between the Rus
sian and the Turk the Russian must win.
England only burdens herself and alienates
the sympathies of the Christian people
throughout Europe by being the ally and
protector of barbarism.
