TI,e Electoral College.

Considerable interest of late in re-
gard to the Electoral College induces
us to make the following concise state
ment of the functions and compositions
of that body. The Constitution pro-
vides that each State shall choose as
many men, called electors, as it has
both Representatives and Senators.
No member of either House of Con-
gress, however, or person holding Of
flee or trust or profit under the gov
ernment of the United States, can be
chosen as an electOr. The choice of
electors must be made on the same day
in all the States, which is the TUESDAY
after the first Monday in November. I"
These men meet at their respective
State capitols OH the first Wednesday
in December, and vote by ballot for
President and Vice President. AS
the whole number of electors are bal
loted for the voters all over the State
if the State goes Democratic or Repnb-
Iican, by the smallest possible majOri-
ty, all the electoral votes are cast ac-
cording to that majority. The cleo
tors can vote for whom they please,
but of course they vote for the candi-
date of the party electing them.
When the electors have cast their
ballots, the votes are placed under
seal and sent to the President Of the
Senate at Washington.
The votes of the respective States
are opened by the Houses Of Congress,
in joint session, on the second Wednes-
day of the February after the election.
A majority of all the electoral votes is
necessary to elect; and if such majority
is not obtained by any candidate, the
House of Representatives has right
to choose any one of the three canii-
dates receiving the highest number of
votes.
Considerable agitation has been
made at various times over the subject
of dispensing with the Electoral Col
lege, and electing the President direct
ly by the people. Iu this way the ma
jority of the popular vote would be
made TO decide the election. Whether
Constitutional amendment to this
effect will ever be made is question
for the future to decide.

litors. Herald.
We do not feel that we can give
any other reason for the nOn-appear-
ance of our letter in your last issue,
than the fact that we were all too anx-
iously awaiting election returns, to
allow ourselves to think of anything
else.
Tilden's election (Which seems con-
fidenD has caused many citizens to
feel and believe "bettcr times are COM
ing
We attended quite nice little fes-
tival on last Thursday evening, at our
church, given for the benefit of COM
pleting some work on the Parsonage.
Nearly all our people turned out. in
their good clothes, taking with them
their liberality which really was Il
credit to the town, All the visitors
were greatly surprised to find await
ing them such a nice supper, the pro-
ceeds of which, and a little side table,
presided over by Misses Nettie Miller
and Maggie Terrence, proved to be suf-
ficient for all present demands.
Mr.. w. +. Chess, is again in our
town, building his Stave factory on 4
barge. This enables him to make
slaves at any point on the river.
Business is fair with us; our mer-
chants are all selling lots of goods, of
course the Dutch Store is included.
Our little singing school is prosper
ing reapidly. Rockport will yet make
''its mark" We are thinking very
strongly of organizing Drawing
school, from the samples, some of our
lady friends have shown us, we think
there would be no trouble in procuring
an efficient teacher, unless her fingers
will be beyond our means. S.

The Turkish Complication.

Lord Beaconsiield's speech at the
Mansion House is the most important
indication we haveyet had of the policy
of the British Government in regard
to the Turkish question. 1t amounts
70 a distinct declaration that England
is prepared to go to war rather than
allow the treaty Of 1856 to be torn up.
We pointed out, in our last article
on the subject, how this WAS the issue
to which Russia was apparently bent
upon forcing the question. The British
Cabinet sees clearly what we have al
ready shown to be the case, that the
results obtained by the G.imean war
are indirectly imperiled by the
demands of Russia in regard to the
reyoltcd provinces, and more especially
in regard to Bulgaria; and the question
now is: Will Russia, after demanding
so much, be able to recede to the
position of accepting as the result of
the whole agitation, solution which
while it provides for an improved
administration in the provinces, shall
not have the effect of actually depriving
Turkey of its territory? On the other
hand, if, owing to the uncomfortable
impulse of the Sclavonic movement in
Russia, she cannot so recedc, will the
public OF England, for the sake of re-
tanning the results gained by the Cri-
mean war, and especially the right of
combining the Russian fleet to the Black
Sea, support the present Government
in war?
As the negotiations proceed, public
opinion both in Russia and England
will declare itself, so as to enable the
rulers Ofthe twonatiOns to decide these
points more clearly. In the mean time
the prince of Montenegro has done wise
ly, if the telegram speaks truly, to ex-
ercise the right of an independent
prince, which is denied to the prince of
Servia, and make his own conditions
with the Porte independently of any
conference of the powers. Ifhe obtains
in return for promise of neutrality in
the event of future hostilitieS, the port
of Spissia, which will give his country
the outlet to the sea it has so long need
ed, he will be more than repaid for the
losses sustained by the war, and may
retire on his laurels. On the other
hand, Turkey would be foolish to refuse
him boon which only deprives her of
few square miles of territory, and in
sures the quiescence Of most danger
Gus and troublesome neighbor in the
stormy times which may yet be in stOrs
for her.

Parted.

Parted, after years of JOY together,
After years of summer weather,
By one ,houshtless angry word;
And that word by you was spoken,
II was thus loves chain was broken,
Still my p'cadings were unheard.
Parted, and that bright elysian
All has passed before our vision
Never to return again;
Now alone in grief and wonder,
On the past sadly ponder,
While my heart is filed with pain.
Parted, but cant forget You;
Since the day when first met You
have loved you until now
have asked you to forgive me,
have asked you to believe me,
Keeping sacred every vow.
All in vain, twas unavailing,
All my prayers were useless, failing
To recall the words !pu said;
Through this lie we roam RS rangers,
For one word we meet as strangers.

The citizens of Iardinsburg had
grand demonstration a few nights
since, consisting of burning tar barrels,
wax candles, sky-rockets &c. also

The Bible ana samuel.
From the n. I. Sun. Nov. D.


To TUE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir :
The following appears in the Tribune;
There has been good deal of Scrip.
ture quoted on Gov. Tilden during the
campaign, but no question has fitted
better than the following from the
third chapter of first Samuel: +" And
Samuel arose and went to Eli and
said, Here am |, for thou didst call
me- And he answered, Icalled not,
my son 4; lie down again. 50
Samuel went and lay down in his
place"
BY referring to this chapter (enti-
tied The Lord called Samuel") YOU
Will see that while Eli did not. that
tie Lord did, call Samuel. Please
note especially the tenth, nineteenth
aud Twentieth verses:
And the Lord came, and stood, and
called, as at other times, Samuel,
Samuel. 4 i And Samuel grew, and
the Lord was with him, and did let
none of his words fall to the ground.
And 4; < from Dan even to Beer
sheha x \ Samuel was established.
Please see that the false teachings
Of the tall youth in the misguided
tower are corrected. BIBLE.

Federal troops. 1.-The election law is
intricate, and, while apparently adapt
eli to provide for all contingencies,
really creates a hundred technicalties
and machinery which render popular
elections impossible. The ingenuity
with which devices are planned and
practiced fSf producing fraudulent re-
suits is simply diabolical. The party
in power, having control Of this ma
chinery, can make any election a
mockery, and the community finds
itself locked in q network Of crafty ar
rangemeuts, from which escape seems
impossible. Against this prodigious
tyranny the people of Louisiana have
made one more united and determined
effort"
Remember that these are not the
words Of a politician or a stump speak
er. They are the deliberate express
sions of Il scholar, a professor in one
of the first Of American colleges, a
man with only patriotic interest in
politics, and a man, too, accustomed
TO study and weigh his words. Re-
member this, thea ny to believe that
Gov Kellogg, vithall this tremendous
power, could not have prevented the
frauds and violence and intimidation
that he pretends characterized the
election in the =" bull~iozed" parishes!
Yes, and prevented them by raising
his little fnger
The truth is that they did not exist,
not even in Gov. Kellogg's imagina,
ton. 1t was not ill after election
that We heard anything Of them. The
whole story Is az election lie. born of
defeat and framed to secure fraud.
