plan was preached and approved, which
will be perfected to-day. This is t.
telegraph to Wade Hampton and hi
followers to peremptorily Withdraw
from the canvass and leave the Repub
l1can ticket without any opposition
Then the Democratic House will no
allow the vote of South Carolina to be
counted upon the ground Of jllegality. ,
Ii the twenty second joint rule were
IN torce, such course would have beer
possible, and partisan majority in the
House could throw out the vote O.
any state without assignment of s
reason and without appeal. Indeed, il
would have been possible arbitrarily tc
reject electoral votes enough to pre-.
vent any choice by the Electoral Col
lege, and to have consequently forced
the election of President of the United
States by the Confederate House OF
Representatives. That the Democrats
supposed that this rule was in force was
evident from the proceedings of the
House themselves. The record shows
that at the commencement of the last
ten days Of the session the Democratic
leaders, as would have been the custom
had the rule been in force, moved to
suspend the sixteenth snd seventeeth
joint rules for the remainder of the
session. This motion was carried,
and the suspension resolution was
sent to the Senate for con-
currence. Arrived there, Sen
ator Edmunds remarked that the reso-
ton OF the House could not be acted
upon for the reason that there were no
joint rules Of the two Houses in the
Forty fourth Congress to suspend.
Further examination of the records
showed that Edmunds was right, and
that the House, in adopting the rules of
the last Congress, had neglected to in
clude the twenty second joint rule.
ANY plan Of conspiracy to eleoi Til
den by rejecting electoral votes at the
Will OF the House under this rule must
be abandoned. The only existing pro
visions for counting the vote of the
Electoral College are the twelfth amend
ment to the Constitution, which makes
the President of the Senate the custo-
dian OF the certificates of these votes,
and requires him to provide
at the joint convention of both
Senate and House to open
the certificates, and to declare the re-
suit, and the law requiring that these
votes shall be counted the second Wed.
nesday OF February. It is for Senator
Ferry, of Michigan, therefore, to de-
clare what is the voice of the electors of
the whole country, and not for the Con.
federate House to reject any of these
votes.
1t is possible that blunder of the
Democratic House may have disarmed
revolution.

Fears of TrOnble Over the Electoral
Vote.

WASHINGTON, D. c.; October 49,
Some influential Democrats here have
already begun to consider and to plan
for the possibility of revolution in the
event that the results of the Presiden-
tial election are not what they wish
them to be. The plan is apparently
based upon the belief that the twenty
second joint rule is still in force,
and that under it the Demo
cratic House could, by the arbi-
trary will of partisan majority, re-
ject the electoral vote of any state, and
thus defeat the will of the people. This
action has for q pretense the proclama-
ton of the President commanding the
insurgent rifle clubs in South Carolina
to disband. The following statement,
which appears in the Baltimore Gazette
this morning, the recognized organ of
TiIden and Bourbonism in this section,
shows the purposes of these desperate
leaders. The Gazette says San infor-
mail meeting of leading Democrats was
held at the Ebbitt House last
evening to discuss as to what
policy shall be best to adopt to
meet this revolutionary move of Grant
] upon South Carolina. Judge Jere

though some is found in Canada, New
Hampshire and elsewhere. In good
plates for stoves it IS worth $40 a
pound. Graphite, from which lead
pencils ard made, is still more rare and
precious. It is found in small quanti-
ties, but very pure, in Ceylon. The
most famous mine WAS In Cum berland,
England, where it occurred in small
nests or nuggets of the size Of the fist or
smaller in trap rock. So valuable was
this mineral On it's first discovery that
an act OF Parliament was passed to pro-
tect it from plumber, and the utmost
precautlon was taken to save every par
tlcle it yielded. THIS supply has since
given out altogether, and until this dis
covery IN the Arctic regions nothing
like it has anywhere been found.
although poor article is mined at
Sturbridge, Mass, Brandon, VT, Ticon-
deroga, N. Y, Wake, N. c., st. John,

be gathered an idea of the importance
of the Era's expedition.
ARRIVAL OF THE ERA
A dispatch to the New York Times
from Norwich, Conn, says the Era's
sails not being equal to bringing her
into port she put into New London to
retit, and will continue her voyage in a
few days. The officers and sailors pre-
serve strict reticence, but few facts
have, nevertheless, been ascertained.
She was forty three days on her Jour-
ney from New London to Cumberland
Inlet, having been delayed eleven days
IN the ice. On reaching point known
to whalemen as Nialtic Valley, the
crew were put to work laying tram
way, building shanties, and mining.
The miners worked in two gangs in
different quarries, about 1900 feet
above the level Of the sea. The tram
way did not reach all the way up, and
the mica was transported much of the
distance On the backs Of workmen. The
mica was found in veins some ten feet
below the surface of the ground, and
was principally blasted out. Some of
the blocks are remarkably large and
clear, the sheets ~ measuring eighteen by
twenty inches, and some blocks weigh
ing fifty pounds. Altogether about
fifteen tons were excavated, which ex-
Suie6 VEINS. DIX weeks were
thus spent. These days were spent in
further prospecting, after which the
Era sailed for home. The sailors
named their diminutive village of three
wooden structures Mintzerville in
nonor of their commander. The Erals
crew were assisted ia their labors bva
gang of Esquimaux, who stayed with
hem short time, but soon left 70 be-
gin their SUNNI rs deer-hunting. The
mica obtained is estimated to be worth
from five to twelve dollars a pound.
Nothing can be ascertained about the
raphite procured. e

A Start in Life.

Living in Kansas City, respected
and wealthy merchant, is Greenup
Bird, an old resident of Missouri, and
one of the best men in that state.
In 1866 he was banker at Liberty,
Clay county, town not ten miles from
the home Of the James boys.
One day while he and his son Will
liam were alone in the bank, three
men entered and asked him to change
a $40 note. He took the bill and
stepped to a side table to procure
the change, and, on returning, was met
with revolver presented to his face.
He realized that he was in the power
Of men who would not hesitate g.
moment to take his life; if necessary.
What followed can be told in almost a
word. The robbers leaped over the
counter, and, while Mr.. Bird and his
son We're guarded by one, the others Sc
cured 81 900 from the vault, the door of
which, unfortunately, was standing
open The banker and his son were
then hastily thrust into the vault, and
the door closed. The robbers then fled,
mounting their horses, which were in
charge of associates in the street. They
dashed down the principal streets of
the town, the people looking on IN won
der, not knowing what had happened.
The younger Bird succeeded in open
ing the door of the vault, and rushing
to the window, he gave the alarm in
time for a citizen to draw a revolver
and fire at the retreating robbers. I'm
lucky shot for him; the robber, turning
in his saddle and taking deadly aim,
sent ball through the brain
of the man who had missed his mark.
Out of the town they went without
mOlestation.
But the James boys and Younger
brothers were unknown in those days
as dashing highwaymen, and a party
Immediately started in pursuit. They
chased them to the Missouri river, and
there overlook them. A running fight
followed, but the robbers escaped, and
from that time until they murdered
the cashier of the Mortified bank, fol-
lowed their daring calling with success.
This was their first bank robbery, and,
con- encing right at home, it shows
that the life of no man friend or foe,
was allowed to thwart them in their
nefarlOus undertakings.

On the Battle Field,

A correspondent of the London
Standard writes from Nissa as follows:
We came upon a number of Servian
corpses, most Of them in that early
stage of decomposition when the body
swells to an unusual size. Some, how
ever, could only have been dead short
time, for their bodies were still almost
warm and unstiffened. We had not
dreamed what fearful havoc our two
batteries and the cavalry attack had
made on Friday. The defeat of the
Servians must have been much more
severe than we imagined, as the enemy
had left his dead and wounded behind,
close to the rivers bank. The poor
wounded what terrible torments they
must have endured, lying among
corpses and deprived of all consolation,
all help. How many groans and signs
must have passed the quivering lips,
and been lost in tx empty air. Near
an adjutant lay two photographs, which
must have slipped from his dying
hand; one represented the dead man,
but in the uniform of a Russian major
or colonel, and the other a young wo-
man with fair tresses, a prominent nose
and light colored eyes. The photo
graphs had been taken in Moscow; on
the back Of the mans head stood in
pencil, Nicolay Komof
[ know not in what relation the
woman stood to the officer; but wheth-
er wife, sister or bethrothed, it is GER
tain his last thoughts were of her. Not
far from him lay the body of another
officer, his right hand pressed on his
breast, where the splinter of shell had
hit him, and grasping piece of paper.
A strong man, he appeared to have
struggled long !. with death, his face,
which had the unmistakable Russian
type, being distorted from pain. It
waf with difficulty that the paper was
removed from his hand. It was let
ter, without date, in cyrillic writing,
and evidently from a child's hand.
Colonel Mehmed, who was once in the
Russian service (he is a Gil cassian from
Daghestan, subjected by Russia more
than fifty years ago. and understands
Russian, translated the letter into Tur-
kish, and then one of our Cossacks, a
Pole, who had been brought up in
France, gave me the contents in French,
as follows:
" DEAREST FATHER: Be good enough
dearest father, to come back from the war.
Since you have been away mother weeps
continually, and she dreams every night
that thou lest dead under tree. Come to
us, dear father, for mother has become so
pale, and is always crying. I am very
good so that she may not cry still more,
and when thou cemest back will remain
good, and never be naughty again. But
thou must come soon, father, and kiss
mother, that she may become red again,
and also kiss thy little Minka.'
