COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VoTE.-There has
been considerable discussion of late in regard
to the possible course of the counting of the
electoral votes ON the second wednesday of
February next, in case the Presidential election
should be very close and turn upon the count
ing or rejection of single state. Democrats
have asserted that in case the election of Hayes
should turn upon accepting the vote of South
Carolina, the House would object, and under
the twenty-second joint rule, which provides
that IT either House persists in Directing to re-
ceive the vote OF any state it shall not be re-
ceiyed, they would prevent its being counted
and thus defeat the election of Hayes by vote
of this state. Several similar cases have form
ed the subject of discussion.
1t is, however, fact, although not generally
known, that thus far the Forty fourth Congress
has not adopted any joint rules. Each Con-
gress enacts its own rules. The practice has
been at the opening of each session to pass re-
solutions adopting the rules Of the previous
Congress, and generally such resolution passes
as a matter of course. AT the last session, how
ever, the House adopted the rules but the SEN
ate failed to concur, and the consideration oil
the subject went over ander an objection to the
present consideration by Senator Edmunds. As
final result the session closed without adopt
ing the joint rules, and the twenty-second rule
falls with the rest. This leaves the joint con-
vention for counting the electoral vote without
any rules other than the Constitutional provis.
ion for its meeting, and the opening of the votes
by the President of the Senate and the count
ing of the same.

City OF SAVANNAH
Mayors Office, Oct. II, 1876.
To our benefactors throughout the Union:
1t is impossible to express adequately the
deep sense of gratitude felt by the people of Sa-
yannah for the generous beneficence which
has been extended to US from all parts of the
United States in this our supreme hour of
distress and restitution. 1t has soothed MANY
dying pillow and rel eved many an aching
heart Such deeds do more to bind the inhab-
itanss of this land in sympathy together as
citizens of a common country than all the DO
ltical theories that were ever advanced, All
that we can now return our bepefactors are
our thanks and sincere prayer that the AL
mighty may bless and preserve in their ow
homes the noble people who have so readily
come to our rescue, and long shield them from
the pestience that walketh in darkness and
the destruction that wasteth at noon day.
Justice and card or require us to announce at
this time that by reason of large liberality of
subscriptions in money and supplies already
afforded to u.s. we are no longer in immediate
need, iand we therefore ask our friends every
where to cease for the present their charitable
contributions. If the necessity for assistance
shall again arise among US we will frankly
and unhesitating appeal to them for relief.

Mayor of Savannah.

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Every diplomatic agent
here believes we are on the eve of a great
Eastern war. The only difference of opinion
among them ia as to whether it will commence
in the spring or almost Immediately. ALI out
ward indications seem to favor the latter idea,
which would give Russia and Servia great ad-
vantages. Strange rumors are current concern
ing the intended action of Austria.
a telegram from Bucharest announces that a
convention has been concluded between Rou-
mania and Russian railway companies, by
which the former undertake to hold in readi
ness at the disposal of Russia, sufficient trains
to transport 1000 troops daily.
On Sunday sem-ofical intelligence reached
Belgrade that the Emperor of Austria had in
formed the Gear that Austria would remain
neutral, and make no objection to certain limi-
ted occupation of one of the Christian provin-
ces of Turkey.
A special from Vienna states that the Eng
lish and French governments, especially the
former, have decidedly pronounced for the
acceptance of six mouths aImistice. Austria
is declined to do likewise, and has asked Ger:
many's opinion which, however, is not yet
given. Italy, on being pressed by England to
give definite reply, says it does not want in
any way to anticipate Servia's decision, as ii
regards an armistice as disadvantageous to Ser
via.
