4 DISIING UISHED IRISHNAN LEAVES
IRELAND.

Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan, NJ. P, was recently
presented with an address and costly COL
lection of articles in bog oak, comprising q
writiDg-desk, ink stand, etc, by the gene
raj staff of the Dublin Nation newspaper,
on the occasion of his resgnIng the pro-
prietorship of that journal, and leaving Ire
land to reside in London. The presenta-
tiOn took place IN the editorial room of the
Nation, where the entire staff had assem-
bled to meet Mr.. SOilivSn, who was accom-
panied by his wife and children. Mr. T.
Koran, sub editor, read the address which
referred in H4tCeFIDg ter us to the career of
Mr.. Sullivan as pTessDa DaR and a politician,
and wished him GOd-epeed and all success
III his future field of labor. Mr.. Sullivan
replied at considerable length, taking
leave of his old employ ees with evident
emotion. He had been connected with the
iOn-pr0prietOrialIy and editOrlally-
for twenty one years, since he took ie up
from Mr., now Sir Charles Gavsn Duffy,
and during all that time it has held an ele-
waited position as national and literary
journal. In now bequeathing it's manage
meut TO his brother, Dir. T. d. Sullivan, he
could not but express a hope that 1t would
continue in the old paths He could not
disguise from himself the fact that IN all
probability, within a very short time of this
fare well of HE, the staff of the Nation would
be put to the test in IN hour of crucial trial
for Ireland. 1T such a time did come, he
trusted that trey would be true to Ireland
that they would counsel her with flrmness,
with prudence, and with courage. The
principal article of the preseDtstiOn bore a
suitable inscription, and each Of the articles
was enriched with Mr.. Sullivsn's mono
gram in silver, and the words :" God pros
per yOu."
The Freeman says that " the reason for
Mr.. Sulivan's departure from Ireland is no
secret; be slInded TO it himself. He goee to
a n ne arena the E,npliah Rar
that career which unhsppIIy the cramped
condition of our prOvIneialized life does not
offer even the greatest talents and the
greatest assiduity."

Eeetipg Of the Electoral Colleges -le5 Votes for
Tilden, 1S4 tcr hayes

Wednesday last, Dec. Oh, the day fixed by
nc If Congress for that purpose, the Electoral
Colleges of the States met in their several
State capitals and cast their votes for Presi.
dent and Vice President of rhe United States.
OF the total number "f votes. $50. cast by
Eiectors holding regular credentials from the
recognized de facto tfficers Of the State Govern
n-nIs, Ar. Tiideu received 1S5 aud Mr. Hay Us
1S4, thus giving Mr.. Tilden the necessary
number Of votes covered BY the broad scales
of States" to elect him President.
AS our readers will remember, Immediately
after the election, Nov. 9TH, it was admitted
by both parties that TIden had ls4 votes,
the votes of Louisiana, 8, South Carolina, 7,
aud Fiorida, a, 10 altogether, being claimed by
both parties. These states had all gene
Democratic by handeome msjorities, but as
they each had q Returning Board and their
governments were entirely under the control
of the Radicals it was thought that with the
assistance of Gen. Grant and the army they
would be able to secure the votes for Hayes,
eecting him by one majority. Their plan then
was to insist that the votes of the Electoral
Colleges be counted in Congress jnst as t,ey
deny the right of either House to inquire into
their validity. So far as securing by these
Infamous means the votes of the three South
ern States above alluded to- the Radicals were
successful, but in another quarter they were
outwitted and are now compelled to admit
Tildens election by the one vote of Oregon or,
by questioning it's legality, to pave the way
for the loss of 10 votes to Mr. Hayes The
miscarriage Of the Radical plans occurred in
this wise: According to the Constitution of the
United States no person holding an office un-
der the Government can be appointed an
E!ector. In several States Electors on the
Hayes ticket were United States officers, but
as IN these States the Government was in the
hands OF the Republicans, the defect was
cured, whether legally or not we do not pre-
tend to say. But in Oregon where. post
master named Watts of the Hayes
electors, the Governor gave the certificate to
Cr"Din, n Democrat, on the grou nd that Watts,
lIUn rFl nan igGr all fnr
MN were void. Thus it is that to-day, in
,pie of ,dl;al frauds, Tlcen has the re q aisite
