New YORK, Nov. 12.---The San,
replying to an inquiry whether, if
Hayes should be elected by 1856
votes, and, before the meeting of the
electoral college, one Republican
elector died, what would be the re-
suit? says the electoral college does
not vote as a corporation; each cleo
tor has one vote for President and
one for Vice President. In case of
the absence of an elector, either
by death Or otherwise, his colleagues
cannot cast his vote. In this case
supposed, the three Florida electors
could only cast three votes; so that
Hayes would not receive 1S5 votes.
Tilden could not be declared elected
because he could not have received
1875 votes. The result would be the
throwing of the election into the
House OF Representatives.
