SENATOR Morton's bill regulating
the counting of the electoral vote will
be pushed forward in the Senate soon
after the meeting. At present, in
counting the electoral votes in the pre-
scnce Of both houses, any member of
either house may object to the vote of
any State, and thereupon, unless both
houses vote to receive it, it is, under
the twenty-second rule, excluded
The House will be Democratic and the
Senate Republican when the electoral
vote is COUNTED next December, and
under this rule it is possible that each
house may arbitrarily throw out so
many States, that there will be left not
a majority of all the States which is
necessary to an election. In that case
the election would fall to the House of
Representatives, aud this would insure
the choice OF a Democrat as President.
Tie twenty sccond rule is of Republic
Gao origin, shaving been adopted to
cover the case of some Southern States
after the war, but, y practice, very
trivial objections have snfiiced to fling
ont the vote of State. For instance.
that Of arkansas vas thrown out be-
cause, returns were without the great
seal of The State, and it was net dis
covered until after tle counting was
completed that Arkansas had then no
great seal.

In Case of War Who'll Have Chief
Commando

In the event OF Grants preclplta-
ting war, will General Sherman take
the chief military command, which
by reason of his rank he would eX
pect to get? We do not think it at
all certain that he will.
BY law the President, as comman-
der-in chief of the army and navy. is
permitted to select his own immedi
ate subordinate. He is not restrict
ed in his choice by rank, but may as
SIGN which officer he chooses to the
leading command. Gen. Sherman, il
is we'll understood, has not won Gen.
Grants regard for several years past.
His sef-laudatory Memoirs especial
iy displeased the President, who
thinks Sherman stripped him ofhon-
ors entirely his own, to endue him
self with them. The sententious re-
mark he is reported to have made at
ter the publication of Sherman's Me-
moirs suggests his feeling, 81 seem
to have had nothing to do with the
war;" was Grants pithy speech, and
it cannot be denied that Sherman
gave him occasion for making it.
These and other reasons lead to
the inference that Grant would not
be likely to trust Gen. Sherman at
the immediate head Of the army in a
war, in the conduct of which was
wrapped up so much of his personal
ambitions, ind which he expected to
keep him four years longer in the
White House.
The man to whom Grant is most
likely to turn in the contingency Of
war is Lieut.. Gen. Phil. Sheridan. Ir
him he has q trusty lieutenant, who
does not stop to philosophize about
the meaning Of events, but Furnishes
up his sabre, mounts his charger ant
GOES forth to battle. When Grant
made war upon the Legislature o
Louisiana, he passed over Gen. Nc
Dowell, who was in command of Tho
Military Division of the South, ant
Gen. Sherman, who was in command
of the whole army and was at sain
Louis, nearer New Orleans, and wen
to Chicago and pic ed on
Sheridan to perform the secre
mission. And Sheridan followed hi:
instructions exactly, not hesitatins
to engage in the outrageous military
interference, and to assail the white
people of Louisiana, whom he dc
nounceda banditti and threatened
to treat as outlaws.
1t seems probable, therefore, tina
when actual hostilities occur, Lieut.
Gen. Philip III. Sheridan, though Sc
cond in rank, will yet be ordered tt
take the head of the army IN. Y

Bishop Haven.

Bishop Haven is undoubtedly the
most terrible prelate Of modern times
that is to his friends and his own
side. lie explodes in wild oratorical
or conversational ways on the smallest
pretext, like frozen dynamite or roast
ing October chestnnts, setting-on any
number of barren spectators to laugh,
but not failing to make the .intlicious-
to whom Bishop is 4 Bishop, al
though there's little in him--grieve
profoundly. Bishop Ravens expert
ence before tie preachers meeting in
Boston, and the re-echoing, defamation
which followed his casting of the third
term torpedo among his praying breth-
rem, should have shown him the un-
wisdom of letting his tongue get loose,
to fly like the clapper of q windmill, to
the complete dismay of his political
and religious coadintors and the
amused but rather contcmptuous atten-
tion of Indifferent lookers-on. But lie
has learned little. He was ''inter-
viewedn the ether day (if we must use
the vile word) on the platform of a
Westward journeying car, by repor
ter of the Omaha Bee, and although
the profuse prelate had but the brief
est period in Which to unbosom HIM
self, he succeeded i'll unpacking his
heart of enough perilous stuff to make
his friends quake again, and cause the
wise heads of his denominations to wag
with anxiety and apprehension of what
their Eighty and irrepressab!e Bishop
may do next. He was very loose and
fluent in his observations on Blaine
and other Republican leaders, and
vouchsafed the rather startling infor-
nation that Mr.. George VIM. Curtis,
in consequence of his anti third term
preclivities was abont to be deposed
from the editorial clair Of Harper's

OLD IRoNsIDEs.-The Philadelphia
Telegraph says:
"The work of running the Constitu-
ton on the dock took place this morn
ing in the presence of a large number
of spectators, who good naturally
withstood the chilliness of the weather
for the sake of glancing at this noble
relic of the last century. The process
of hadling her on the dock was the
same as used when she was brought
here for repairs, and which worked so
successfully. At 1880; after elaborate
preparation, the vessel made q slide,
causing shout of "there she goes - to
60 up from those assembled. After
moving along smoothly about half her
length, she stuck, causing considerable
delay. The difficulty was finally over
come, and the famous vessel was firm
ly settled on her dock. The work was
under the superintendent OF Naval
Constructor Hart and his assistant.
John Hoover. A feature of the occa-
sion was the fact of the Constitution
having originally been constructed un-
der the supervision of Constructor
Harris grandfather, then his father su-
perintended her rebuilding in 1892, and
now the grandson of the original con-
structor has consented to remain in
Philadelphia to superintend the repairs.

We disclaim now and at all times
any hostility to the success Of the Cen
tennial Exposition at Philadelphia.
On the contrary, we are sincerely
anxious for its success in a spectacular,
pecuniary and patriotic point of view.
We look with ardent hope to it and its
indirect influences for all ending of the
political manevolence which has sur
vived so many years of peace. We are
not without the hope that it may assist
to give start to the business enter
prise of the country, so long stuck fast
in the slough of aespona.
But these are not sufficient reasons
for approving malversation Of the
public funds. They do not Justify a
tIagrant breach of the Constitution.
They do not warrant the payment of a
million and half of the peoples faxes
into the tills of a private .joint-stocl1
enterprise.-N. \. World.

"A VERY singularstory of a horse is
told by the Gazette, of Rarrie, Canada,
to the following effect: Mr.. John Da-
Wis, of Sullivan township, has a horse
which having bad habit OF getting
out of it's pasture, lie fettered one night
recently by fastening the fore feet to-
gether. During the night pack of
wolves were heard in the vicinity, and
the next day Mr.. Davis visited his
horse with some anxiety as to his con-
ditlon. Away off in the field the ami
nal was seen standing in very singu
lar position. A great wolf was under
his fore feet held to the ground by the
chain letters, and so securely impris-
oned that escape was impossible. The
horse had a few scratches upon his
neck. He had evidently been attacked
by the wolves, had worsted them, cap
turing one, and holding his captive a
prisoner of war for at least four or five
hours.

w. P. Kellogg, the carpet bag
Governor of Louisiana, in his annual
message, claims great credit for the f.
nancial policy Of his administration.
When lie was pitched into Office by
Federal bayonets, the public debt,
floating and bonded, was $44,000,000.
OF this one-half has been rcpudiated,
and Kellogg boast that by the repudia-
ton of $24 600, 900, and strict regard
to economy he has succeeded in reduc-
ing the debt SIS, 100000. 1t would be
an interesting problem to figure out
how long it would take the State at
this rate to free itself entirely of its
obligations. Notwithstanding the re-
markable financial genius displayed
by Kellogg, and his zeal for economy
as exemplifed in the figurees he gives,
the people of Louisiana fail to exhibit
any disposition to accept him as a
great reformer, which, of course, is an
evidence that they have not yet
been reconstructed enough n W
