SIR: A call mas come from Brooklyn for help.
Three hundred out Of the four hundred that filled
the gallery Of q theatre on Tuesday night, SYM
pathiZing with the woes depicted on the stage,
are dead. They represented many poor families,
many Of whom are now deprived Of support, and
q large proportion much In need of aid. 1t Is
proposed to give matinee benefit on Wednesday
next at the National theatre for their relief. As
the manager, can say that my people will give
their services, and otherwise no expense whatever
will be incurred. Every dollar paid for admission
will be one hundred cents given to the mourning
taueous response. 1t will be bread to wafling
mothers and brotherless sisters. It will carry
teach the stricken ones that there @ are % loving ing
to their woes.

have been entertained since the city was estab-
lished Let, therefore, grateful response be

Respectfully, H. CLAY FORD.

peace will be preserved, and that law and
order will be maintained. But when we
add to this the reflection that those now in

give the strongest assurance of the mair-
tenance of peace through any emergency,
we should have the most implicit conf
dence that no untoward disturbance will
occur. Bravado and bluster may be plen-
tiful. Bullies and pretenders are always
loud in threats, but they rarely fight the
brave. ..-.-..
1t is little strange that those people and
presses that exhibit such feverish nervous
ness at the sight of a few regulars here now
see no cause for anxiety, ror take the
slightest alarm at the assembling of mob
of thousands of armed rifle clubs in the
capital of that nest of nulliiers and Sc
cessionists--South Carolina. Hampton's
Legion gather at the sound of his bugle-
call now to place him in the Executive
chair of South Carolina in defiance of the
legal returns of the properly qualified can
vassers of the votes with the same
alacrity which characterized their con-
duct during the campaign. Now they
swear he shall be Governor. Then they
swore that the negroes should not vote
unless they would vote for Hampton. And
this intimidation did prevent a great many
of them from voting, especially in Edge
field, Laurens and Aiken. Mob law has
no terrors for this modern Democracy.
In it they can see nothing but peace for the
future. But the appearance of those arms
of the Government which are designed for
the especial purpose of preserving or con-
quering durable peace, fills them with
the dismsy that attacks all rioters when
the strong arm of the law is outstretched
to prevent or punish their deviltries. Re-
publicaDs should all have faith in the
future. They should sustain with the
firmness of adamant those leaders "who
"are determined to ask nothing but what
" is clearly right, and to submit 10 nothing
"tba. is wrong" There will be ne
bugger-mugger about this business. 1t
will be settled Justly and nstitutionally.

The last act of the Constitutional Con-
vention which framed the Constitution of
the United States took action in reference
to the counting of the votes for President
and Vice President which indicates be
yond the peradventure of doubt the
manner in which the result should be as
certained. In convention at Philadelphia,
September II, 1857, two resolutions were
passed directing the manner of procedure
in order to make the election operative by
the Inauguration of the new Government.
The following extract is from the second
of these resolutions, and is all of it that
relates to the counting of the votes:
That the electors should meet on
the day fixed for the election of the President,
and should transmit their votes, certified,
signed, sealed and directed, as the Constitu-
ton requires, to the Secretary of the United
States in Congress assembled; that the Sen
ators and Representatives should convene at
the time and place assigned; that the Senators
should appoint President of the Senate for
the sole purpose of receiving, opening and
counting the votes for President, and that
after he shall be chosen the Congress, together
with the President, should, without delay, pro-
ceed to execute this Constitution.

The following certificate was issued by
John Langdon to George Washington, the
President-elect, and shows how the result
of the election was ascertained:

Representatives of the United States of Amer

New York the sixth day of April, in the year
of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and
eighty-nine, the underwritten, appointed
President of the Senate for the sole purpose of
receiving, opening and counting the votes of
the electors, did, in the presence of the said
Senate ard House of Representatives, open
all the certificates and count all the votes of
the electors for a President and Vice Presi-
dent, by which 1t appears that George Wash
ington, esquire, was unanimously elected,
agreeably to the Constitution, to the Office of
President of the United States of America.
In testimony whereof have hereunto set my

the minds of the people. 1t was necessary,
in the first instance, to direct the appoint
ment of President pro tsmpors of the
Senate Cor acting Vice PresidenD for the
performance of this duty, because the
Senate prior to this would be an embryo

ALL CONVERSATION among the leaders at

of the Oregon elector. The prominent Re-

IT Is REPORTED that in conversation on the
floor of the House Representative Lamar said
that the murders and assassinations and the
general bull-dozed condition of the South are
"the legitimate results of evils that he has re-
peatedly pointed out in his speeches." Now,
If the legitimate result of Mr.. Lamar's point
ing out evils is the assassination of Eliza Pink
ston's husband, the brutal murder of her babe
at her breast, and the fiendish outrage COM
mitted on her person, the wisest thing Mr..
Lamar can do is to cease repeatedly pointing
out evils.
