The Presidential Situation.
The Baltimore Sun commenting on II
situation says:

The Baltimore Sun commenting on the
situation says:
The country now stands face to face with
the issue as made upon The cast of the presi-
Dental vote. The returning boards IN the
Southern States that had held the country in
suspense since the It'll of November got
through with their peculiar work in Louisiana
and Florida just in time for The meeting OF
the electoral colleges on Wednesday. They
had ''canvassed' the votes OF the people oil
their States, and succeeded ia turning the re-
suit, by the usual process of throwing out on
one ground or other, in favor Of Hayes and
Wheeler for President and Vice-Presdent
The votes of these States, with that of South
Carolina, secured through The same returning
board processes, added 10 votes to the l66
previously conceded to those candidates, giving
them the requisite 1875 Cor election by one ma
jority over Tilden and Hendricks, who have
unquestoned 1874 From two nj least of these
returning board States-Louisaua and South
Caroina--lhere is almost sure to come here
after II counter claim in behalf Of Tiden and
Hendricks, represented by certificates, indeed,
in the hands Of IA second body Of electors for
each, given by rival Governors in these States.
| This certainly presents serious political
crisis The serious aspect of this condition OF
affairs is that it tends to precipitate n conflict
of authority between the two houses of Con-
gress. The questionsin regard TO the manner
of counting the electoral vote, the validity of
the twenty joint rule, and the separate
| or concurrent power of the two houses over
votes that are believed TO be tainted with
| fraud, have never been settled by Inv, and
| there are indications at this time that the
| Senate will repudiate not only the continued
operative power Of the twenty-second joint
| rule but the custom on which 1t was founded
and which has been observed unbroken on
such occasions for the past eighty years
Such controversy now, when then presi-
dency is the prize on which the result of it is
staked, is greatly to be deprecated. We see
no alternative whereby it can be avoided, ex-
cept by an agreement between the two houses
before the second Wednesday in February as
to the mode of counting the votes and dis
posing Of the cases of disputed States.

PoLITICs AND THE GosPEL.-In several of the
churches in Baltimore on Sunday last the pre-
sent political situation was made the special
subject Of discourse by the ministers thereof.
one in particular, Rev. w. T. d. Glenn, pas
tor Of the Jefferson street NJ Z, Church,
preaching in rampant manner from the text
Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin Is
areProseh TO any one" in which he got the
Bible terribly mixed up with whiskey, Grant,
and other obnoxious things. In the course
OF his remarks be said q 1t was a deplorable
stale Of affairs when the ex-governor of State
like Maryland became president of jockey
club" and in another sentence spoke of the
habit Of defaping the personal characters of
candidates for public Office, which was surely
an evil sign and evidence of the corruption Of
the people" We fail to see the consistency in
thus defaming man il a pulpit stump-speech
and at the same time condemning il when
done by others 10 legitimate manner.

Burning of the Brooklyn Theatre.

The Brooklyn Theatre, in the city Of Brook
lyn, N Y, was burned Tuesday night, en-
velopng in its flames about three hundred
lives, who a few minutes before were among a
gay and joyous throng. The thrilling play
of the 1.-TWO Orphans" was being enacted.
and il was during the last act that the dread
f re fend appeared and the scene that ensued
is said TO have been narrowing beyond de-
scription. Time and space prevent full ac-
count of this dire and awful calamity, which
in its details of the destruction of human life
is without any parallel in the annals of the
A merican nation.

The last act in the Drama of Political dab
lery, recently being enacted simultaneously in
three Southern States was ended on Wednes-
day, in the denoaement to which the three sisters
South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, were, in
spite of their remonstrances and abhorence,
welded to the Radical party, to the utter dis
gust of large and unappreciative audiences
A sequel to the above will shortly be enacted
at Washington, in which those three wronged
and outraged daughters of the Union will be
divorced, and delivered TO the man of their
choice Samuel ]. Tiden.

Between their chops and their quafs the

the bar did . rushing trade from the coming
and going crowds, among whom the news
had been previously oarefolly spread Never
we're chops more carefully broiled or better
Ale drawn than were laid before the pleased
eyes of the poet and the voluble tongue OF
the literary adventurer. For two hours they
ate and drank and conversed. while Bryant
gave frequent vent to his admiration OF the
novelty Of the whole thing.
The repast over, Mr.. Bryant took out his
wallet and insisted upon paying the bill, TO
which arrangement Massett very gracefully
submitted. He had had . good dinner, had
advertised himself in the company OF noted
man, while the landlord had done rushing
business for at least two hours. MI. Bryant
was pleased. Who had right to grumble or
find fault? Everything was lovely and the
vanity Of Massett was satisfied.
Everybody was gratified, in fact, even the
good old gentleman, who will find out now,
ton years after the occurrence, for the first
time. how he was bambodzled by Massett, and
how he was made to contribute to tsprooms .
profits for day.
