WASHINGTON, November 27.

A number of decisions were given by the
Supreme Court to-day. La the case Of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company VS.. Annie
W. and S. w. Snyder, the judgment of
the Circuit Court of Pennsylvania for the
assured was affirmed. In these cases the
insured, when asked how long since he was
attended by physician, answered not for
twenty years, when in fact he had recently
fallen and sustained an injury for which he
had been attended by physician, as shown
upon the trial The Court instructed the
jury that if he was seriously hurt by the
fall there could be no recovery. As there
was no exception to this instruction the
judgment is affirmed, the Court remarking
that the chances of defeating the action
were increased by il instead of being les
sened.

Bg~ THE New York Times says that
for several months past the demand for
firearms in that city from Southern custo-
mers has been very active. Not less than
10000 rifles and shot-guns have been ship
ped to buyers in the Southern States,
chiefly in South Caroliana Alabama and
mississippi, since midsummer. Several
cannon, with the necessary equipments,
have also been bought and sent South in
two or three cases the orders came through
officers of the Democratic National Com
mittee The statements of the Times are
supported by copies of the orders by city
merchants for the arms required. 1t is
thus evident that the formation of rife
clubs has been going on actively during the
whole campaign, and the result of the elec-
ton in those States shows that those who
bought the guns have not been idle. The
trouble now with these armed politicians is
that their "shot-gun" tactics have not been
as successful everywhere as they had ex-
pected

RS~ Nor single Northern State, ex
cept New Jersey, has Democratic Legisla
ture New York, Connecticut and Indiana
elected Democratic Governors and gave
their electoral vote to Tiden, but all Of
them choose Legislature Republican or
Joint ballot. In New York and Connecti
cut the explanation is a simple one-the
votes of the people, outside of the chief
cities, were by large majority Republican
and it was only the aggregation of ignor-
ance and vice in New York, Brooklyn
Hartford and New Heaven, allied to the
frauds practiced there, that made those
States give an aggregate majority differing
from the character of the Legislature.

Minority Presidents.

We have heard a great deal about minority
presidents Of late from the reform Demo
cracy. They have blatanty declared that
Tiden ought 10 be president because he re
ceiyed more votes than Hayes. But what
are the facts with regard to previous presiden-
tia elections?
In 1924 John @. Adams was elected with
popular majority against him Of al, ,430.
In 1874 James K. Polk was elected with a
popular majority against him of 24,ll9. In
l64S Zachary Taylor was elected with a
popular majority against him of Isl, 708.
10 1856 James Buchanan was elected with a
popular majority against him of 377, 629. In
1850 Abraham Lincoln was elected with a
popular majority against him of 944, l49.
And now in 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes is
elected with a popular majority against him
Of about 81 600. In the loyal states which
did not rebel Hayes has majority of over
19l 900, but 10 the Southern States which
did rebel Tilden has majority of about
24S, 600 This may easily be accounted fol
by the fact that while the Southern States
were in rebellion Hayes was down South
fighting the rebels, while Tilden was NORTH
declaring the war to subdue the rebellion &
failure, and writing and disseminating doc
uments calculated to cripple the North anc
assist the South
Besides this, in the North all persons with
out fear or favor voted as they wished, while
at the South probably over 250, 900 Repubii
can voters were by the basest intimidation O.
fear prevented from voting for Hayes

electors chosen in Connecticut are said to
be ineligible. One of them, General Frank
lin, has been in the employ of the Treasury
Department and the other, Ex-Governor
Ingersell, is Commissioner of United
States. They are thus disqualified as much
as postmasters or other Federal officers. So
many facts of this kind are coming out that
both sides will probably be willing to drop
further objections to the electors chosen.
