"It is noted as a somewhat curious
political fact that Henry Clay and John
C. Fremont, while defeated in their
Presidential campaigns, each had ma
jorities over their competitors 10 the
popular vote-Clay Of "a, L 10 over Polk,
and Fremont 377 ,629 over Buchanan" !"
We clipped the above from the Com
mercial and presume it got it from some
other paper 1t needs small amount
Of changing to make it correct. In the
first place, Henry Clay and John G..
Fremont did not receive majorities over
their competitors in the popular vote.
On the contrary, it was just the reverse.
Mr.. Polk had very decided majority
in the popular a. we'll as electoral vote.
and Mr.. Fremont's vote fell far short
of Mr.. Buchanan's. In the former con-
test (1844) Mr.. Polk received l.329,-
0l3 votes; Mr.. Clay, 1921 SAB. and
James Birney, (AbolitionisD 66.3O4.
Folks majority over Clay was $3.50,
and over Clay and Birney, both, 3D.
O66. In 1856 Mr.. Buchanan received
1884, ,337 votes and Mr. Fremont,
1,341, ,812 So that the latter. instead
Of having majority Of 377 .629 Of the
popular vote over Mr. Buchanan was
492, ,525 behind him. Millard Fillmore,
however, received 87S.055, and these
added to Fremont's will make major
ity Of $50. SO against Buchanan. He
was. on the popular vote, minority
candidate So, also, was Taylor in
1848, and Lincoln 10 1860, the latter
being nearly million votes behind bis
opponents. A curious fact in this lat
ter contest is that Stephen A. Douglass,
who received nearly million and half
Of votes, being the next highest to Mr..
Lincoln. was the lowest on the list in
the electoral college, he only receiving
IL votes, while John Bell, who received
but little over half million of the pop
ular vote, had 80 electoral votes.

DEATH OF Bishop CUMMINs The
Right Rev. George D. Cummins, D.
D. presiding bishop Of the Reformed
Episcopal church, died suddenly at bis
residence, Lutherville, Baltimore coun-
ty, Md, on Monday afternoon &c
had been sick day or two of a cold,
and early on the afternoon Of bis death
complained Of feeling badly and ply
siciap was summoned but he grew
worse very rapidly and died at 2:15.
The Baltimore Sun gives the following
sketch Of the life and services Of the
deceased bishop:
Bishop Cummins was born at Smyrna,
Del, December IL, 1922. After
graduating with honor at Dickson Col
lege be became preacher in the Meth
odist Church In 1845 he joined the
Episcopal Church, and was ordained by
Bishop Lee, Of Del. In 1847 he be-
came presbyter. Between 1847 and
1868 be had charge consecutively Of
Christ Church, Norfolk /; St. James's
Church, Richmond Trinity Church.
Washington St. Peters Church. Of
this city, and Trinity Church, Chicago.
In 1868 be was elected assistant bishor
Of Kentucky. November 10, 1873,
he addressed letter to Bishop Smith
announcing his intention Of withdrawal
from the Episcopal Church. On Dec.
2, 1873, in response to call issued by
him there was a meeting held in New
York which constituted the first council
OF the Reformed Episcopal Church. In
less than three years the church which
be founded has extended into nearly
every State, and in this city alone COM
prises three congregations. Bishop
Cummin's first church connection in
this city was as assistant pastor Of old
Christ Church. Gay and Fayette streets,
the Rev. Fl. V. D. Johns then (1846)
being rector. His ministry was won
derfuI one. Wherever be went such
congregations follow him as overcrowd-
ed the capacity Of his churches. While
rector Of Trinity Church, Washington,
his congregation was composed Of the
representative talent Of the nation, and
his pulpit was the centre Of attraction to
thousands Of people On taking charge
Of old St. Peters in this city he found
the church languishing, its pews va
Gated, its congregation scattered, its
spirit broken, and in one year or less il
rose to condition Of prosperity and
strength almost beyond precedent. -
His recent connection with the reform
movement in the Protestant Episcopal
Church is well known.
The bishop had not been in good
health for several days past, having
taken severe cold on the bowels though
