The Electoral Colleges.


The Presidential Electors met at
their several State Capitols on
Wednesday, 9th, and cast their
votes as follows: For Tilden and
Hendricks, Arkansas, Alabama,
Connecticut. Delaware, Georgia, In
diane, Kentucky, Maryland, Missis
sippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, Tennes-
see, Texas, Virgins, West Vir-
ginia and one electoral vote in Ore
gon, giving them 165 votes, or a
majority of the whole.
For Hayes and Wheeler, Califor
MIA, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Neva-
dab, New Hampshire, Ohio, Penn
ssivania, Rhode Island, Vermont,
Wisconsin, and two votes in Ore
gon, making 166, including one
contested seat in Vermont, where
an Ineligible elector was returned
elected.
In Florida, S. Carolina and Lou
isiana there are two sets of electors,
one set voting for I. d H. and the
other for H. q W. in each State
The T. d H. electors were elected,
but the H. d w. electors were fraud
ulently counted in. Congress will
have to decide as to which were the
legal electors in these States.
In Oregon, one of the H d W.
electors was Ineligible, and the
Governor issued the certificate to
the next highest competitor, who
was a democrat. For this he has
this precedent. In 1868 a similar
event occurred in that State, and
the Supreme Court decided that the
certificate should go to the next
highest candidate, as of course it
was bound to decide, according to
all usage and law and precedent
not only in America, but in Eng
land, and all other countries where
popular suffrage is allowed.
In Vermont, one Ineligible cleo
tor was returned for H. & W
against which his next highest
competitor protested. He also of
fered his vote in the electoral col
iege, but was refused. He ther
tried to get the messenger to beal
it to Washington, and was refused
He then gave notice that he would
go to Washington and cast it him
self.

One of our best old citizens, un
able to get down town, was suffering
last week immensely from a ire
meadous boil on his neck, and had
waited with excruciating patience
Tor 1t to come to a head. The 9th
er morning he concluded that il
was ripe for the doctor and he told
his son when he started down town
after breaA fast to send the doctor
forthwith. The son came down
and dived into his business and
forgot his suffering sire until the
shades of evening were gathering
and then he thought of it and hur
ried for the man Of medicine. He
told the NJ. D. the facts and asked
him not to tell the old gentleman.
and we heard them arrange to put
up a tale on him. The Doctor
mounted his horse and hurried up
and told the old man he had been
to the country and could not get
up there any sooner. The worst OF
it is, these two men are deacons in
the same church, and they tried to
bride us not to tell the old gentle
man, but when he reads this he'll
recognize its truth.

LYNNVILLE.

Your faithful correspondent from
here is gone, but we shall endeavol
to have Lynuville regularly repre-
sented in your columns. We do
not expect our letters to be so in
seresing and attractive as those
from the gifted pen of T. L. N,
still we may keep you posted as to
the passing events in this part of
the county.
Some five months ago it heca me
apparent that before the close OF
the year we would lose Mr.. Stod
dert from our midst. Many hoped
and prayed that the ruling of an
Advise Providence would permit
him to remain with US, but as the
time of his anticipated departure
drew nearer, his conviction that lac
had been called to another field be
came so strong that all knew they
must give HIM up. He preached
his last sermon 10 unusually large
Congregations on the last SUNDAY
and Sunday night in November.
They we're not the larcwells com
mon on such occasions, hut advice
to young people that will be long
remembered BY all who heard them.
At the close of his last sermon he
begged his friends to excuse him
from the painful formaIity of last
goodbye" and on the following
Wednesday evening, without sayine
farewell to anybody, took the NJ
train for his future home at Farm
willie, Va Now, the general remark
/ is, wen never get any one else
that will fill Mr. Stoddert's place.
Rev. Mr.. McCluer. Of Missouri
who has been here for several days
will preach at the Presbyteriai
church on the first sunday We
hespeak a good congregation foi

doubtless be benefited. We art
informed that Mr.. McCluer was
pastor of a Church in Missouri
which grew rapidly under his car,
for several years.
Rev. Mr.. Levi Haynes and lady
and Mr. Anderson Thompson, who
moved from this neighbCrhuod tC
Missouri more than twenty year:
ago, are visiting their friends ano
relatives here. They report a very
light crop both of corn and whoa
in that State this year.
Mrs Annie Bugg and Mrs. Mack
ey Blackburn from the Brick Churcl
neighborhood were in Lynnvill,
last Sunday to hear Mr.. Stoddert'
last sermon. We would be glad tC
see their pleasant faces here oftene
and have them to stay longer wheI
they do come.

The revival at the Methodist
Church closed last Thursday night
tn sixteen penitents at the altar,
after being protracted four weeks.
This meeting probably accomplish
ed more than any other for years.
The number Of professions Will
probably reach sixty and about
thirty have joined the Methodist
church. The good accomplished
is inestimable and the pastor and
assistant preachers and the con-
gregation deserve great credit for
their great labor and zeal. We
hope fruits of this revival may be
manifest for years to come, and feel
convinced that its results will reach
into eternity.

During a recent visit to Pulaski,
we learned that we did some of the
parties in our marriage notice of
Owen and Mary Sullivan manifest
injustice. We did not intend to in
iure or wound the feelings of any
one, and we are always ready to
make amends for wrongs done. We
did not know the parties, their sta
tzs in life or their relationship,
and simply published the statement
of persons who claimed to know
whereof they spoke, one of them
being a resident in Pulaski. Mary
was not the widow of John Sullivan
hut of Sullivan dead, and no rela-
tionship existed that prevented
them from being proper subjects OF

Capt. Thos. NJ. Topp left with his
family on Tuesday morning last for
Southern California, where he will
make his future home. 1t is mat
ter of sincere regret to every man
who knows Capt. Topp, that we are
thus to lose him forever as citi-
zen, and as colaborer in building
up our immediate section. He is a
man whose citizenship is an honor
and a blessing to any community.
We would not indulge in any full
some eulogy, for it would be dis
tasteful to the Captain himself, but
we will take the liberty to say to
the strangers among whom he is
hen ceforth to dwell, that he is a
gentlemen of rare intellectual at
tainments classically educated
practically trained--and thor
oughly imbued with the spirit OF
progress. As a civil engineer he is
perhaps unsurpassed, and his new
field of labor will doubtless afford
him a wider and better field for the
exercise of his rare gifts and attain
ments in this his chosen profession.
AS a citizen, neighbor, friend, he is
tried and true. We announce with
sincere pleasure that he has prom
ised to write to the CITIZEN occa-
sionally, and we hope to persuade
him to became a regular weekly
contributor. His letters will be
hailed with pleasure by many
friends here.
