ELECTING A PRESIDENT.

The Joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the constitution, relative TO the
election OF president and vice-president of
the United States, which was reported ia
voraoly by the senate committee on the ju-
dietary, Friday, makes but very little
change from the present method. The
choice by electors is still retained, each
state appointing electors equal in number
to Its senators and representatives in con-
gress the electors to meet in their respect
I've states, as now, and vote for president
and viee-president, but the vote shall be
taken cica poce, instead of by ballot IS Is at
present required. The next change, and
perhaps the only important one, is in refer
ence to counting the votes. Under the
present provision, the electors are required
to make distinct lists of all persons voted
for a. president and vice-president sign
and certify them, and transmit them sealed
TO the seat OF government, directed to the
president Of the senate who SHALL In the
presence OF the senate and house of repre-
sentatlves, open the certificate, land the
votes shall then be counted" The pro-
posed amendment changes this, by requir-
Ing that the certificates shall be transmitted
to the presiding judge Of the United States

fixed by law, the supreme court shall open
and count the votes.

county of Franklin, and state of Yer

Having made it's presentment and prayed
the process of the court 1t requests from
the press of Vermont "a candid expression
on the subject" and we will, therefore,
proceed to give our "candid" opinion.
Our "candid" opinion is, % That how
ever admirable and praiseworthy f1llal
affection may be, it Should never be dis
played at the expense of common sense.
Our "candid' opinion is, (2) That the
young man has been wasting midnight oil
over book of forms, and is anxious to
make known his proficiency III framing in.
formations and Indictments, and possibl,
to suggest to the people of Franklin county
that he is excellent material for states at
torney.
Our "candid " opinion is, (3) That, no
matter 10 what extent one Albert
"Clsrke has carried bis criticisms of the
courts Of Vermont and the several Judges
composing them, In the Messenger-and We
think his criticisms have Lot always been
in good taste or just1able-it is NO reason
why Zone Stephen z. Royce" should
make fool of himself in the Adrertiser-
as We candidly" think, IN this instance,
he has.
Our candid opinion is, az That If the
editor Of the Messenger has libelled and
DETAINED the several judges of the supreme
court, "sltting as chancellors," they are ca
pable of seeking a proper remedy withou,
the aid of the editor OF the Adrertiser.
Our "candid opinion is, % That the
young man would do well to spare few
moments Of his valuable time, read up on
American history, study the common law,
and ascertain Of what contempt OF
court" consists, and to what extent the
court can punish for contempt.
Our candid" opinion, finally, of the
whole article is, that the mountain has
labored and brought forth most ridiculous
little mouse.

A LION AT LARGE.
Excitement at Circus in Brooklyn-A Lion
Breaks from his Cage, but is Driven Back
by his Keepers.

Excitement at a Circus in Brooklyn-A Lion
Breaks from his Cage, but is Driven Back
by his Keepers.
From the New York Tribune, Saturday.
A large African lion, known as Parker
belonging 10 Howes s. Cushng's circus and
mensgerie, at Flatbush and Fifth avenues,
in Brooklyn, broke come of the bars of his
cage yesterday afternoon, and dashed
through the tent which contained the wild
animals into the open space which SUR
rounded the circus tent, and which was
separated from the street by high board
fence. Great excitement was at once Gre
ated among the performers and employees,
who rushed for the street in their stage Co.'S
tunes. During all the excitement the au-
dence in the main tent was unaware OF
what was going on in the smaller Enclosure
and outside. As the performers were fled,
Mr.. Bowles, the man who had been left by
Prof. Lcsson in charge of the cages, seized
\ pole and dashed through the opening
into the tent. AS he passed one of the
boxes blockading the passage, one Of
the female performers rushed toward him
pursued by the lion. Her clothing had
been torn from her back by the animal,
which had caught the weeping trail Of her
dress, tearing 1t to pieces. Bowles, as the
weman sprang toward him, seized her and
threw her over the large dressing eases, at
the same time throwing himself to one side
thus escaping from the Infatuated lion.
After looking around for minute In the
open space, the animal dashed back again
toward the menagerie, encountering one of
the performing dogs, Patty, in his passage.
The lion seized the dog in his jaws, and in
an instant crushed it into shapeless mass.
This appeared to notify his anger, and he
crouched upon the ground munching the
carcass and growing with satisfaction.
Meanwhile the performers and tent men
who could be recalled from flight collected
about the tent, armed with polls, sticks
and clubs.
At this time Prof. Losson arrived, and,
armed with weapon used for Furnishing

he ordered his aids to form q semi-circIe
around the beast, and, approaching it,
snapped his whip, shouted and pointed to-
ward the cage. The animal growled and
glared upon his master, who, keeping his
eye upon it, struck the beast severe blow
across the face. 1t howled, and retreated
toward the cage. Following it rapidly up
with well directed blows, one of which
famed one OF the animals legs, the lion
was forced into a cage which was then Sc
curely fastened. The lion WAS captured in
Africa when he was apparently about four
years old. In the London amphtheatre he
killed his keeper, Thomas Jarvis, a noted
