pRESEDENTEAL.

The two Houses of Congress met in
ioint convention in the House of Repre-
eentativcs on Thursday, the lst inst, to
count the electoral vote, according to the
provisions of the recent Compromise Elec-
toral act, and counted the votes OF
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Connecticut and Delaware, but when
Florida was reached objections were made
and filed and the case as made up was
handed over to the Electoral College Com
mission for judgment and decision. The
case on behalf OF the directors was pre-
sented to the Commission for the Demo-
crats by Field of New York, and Tucker
OF Virginia, and on the part of the Repub-
licans by Kasson and McCrary of Iowa.
After this the case was argued by the
Democratic and Republican Counsel for
the obiectors; on the part of Iilden by
O'Conner, Merrick and Black; on the part
of Hayes by Evarts, Matthews and
Stoughton. The extent or degree of juris-
diction of the commission was the first I'M
portant question it was called upon to
decide. That is, as to whether evidence
should be admitted going behind the
Governors certificate to the electors.
The Commission was in session about
nine hours on Tuesday but adjourned with.
out reaching decision on the points raised
in regard to testing the Florida vote. The
question was probably decided yesterday
bat not early enough for US to announce. 1t
is supposed, however, that the decision will
substantially be that in addition to the
Electoral certificates, no evidence will be
received except such as relates to the action
Of the Florida State Government after the
Presidential Election.

For few days past it has been reported
in New York that the Central Railroad of
New Jersey was again in financial difficulty
and would not be able to meet the interest on
its bonds on Thursday. But special meet
ing of the stockholders was held on Wednes-
day, at which a sufficient amount of a new
loan of $3,OO0,OO0 was subscribed to meet
present demands. Mr.. Knight, the new
President, has used every effort to maintain
the solyency and brighten the prospects OF
the company.

Gently made the following preparations for

nz~ Another instance of the tendency
10 intimidate any person who gives evidence
against the Democratic party in Florida
was revealed in the Legislature of that
State lately. Judge Archibald of the Cir
cult Court, had testified as follows before
the Senate investigating committee THE
State Senate stood y Republicans to II
Democrats. and johnson was selected be-
cause his district was a close one, and de
liberateIy murdered for the purpose of Civ
ing the Democrats the ascendency in that
branch Of the Legislature. The evidence
against Richard the assassin was clear, con-
nacted, and amounted to a certainty of ma
thematical demonstration, and yet the jury
refused to convict him. The moment he
was arrested the whole Democratic bar of
Jacksonville and nearly every Democratic
lawver in the State volunteered their
services in his defense, while every effort
was made by the best citizens TO throw the
officers Of justice off the track and facilitate
the escape Of the murderer" On Mon
day this evidence was produced IN the LIE
gislature as a preamble to the following :
"Fherefore, resolved that the Committee
on the judiciary be and they are hereby
instructed to procure a sworn copy Of the
testimony given by said Archibald before
said Committee Of the Senate Of the United
States, and report to this Assembly on the
liability Of said Archibald to impeachment
on account Of said testimony" The resolu-
zion was adopted by large majority.

THE Stroudsburg Cornet Band will

grand hop, to be given at the Burnett
House, on the evening of the ed inst.
The gentlemen composing the band, assisted
by their fair lady friends, are putting forth
every effort to make it one of the most

Previous hops given under the auspicies of

from the New York Tribune:
Democrats who think that hard times in
the United States are due to Republican
rnisaanagement, are invited to a careful
study Of the recently published statistics Of
the iron trade Of Germany. The capital
invested by thirty-two Of the largest iron
and steel manufacturing companies in that
country amounts to SIS, ,035, 900, and the
net loss, exclusive Of interest and deprecia-
ton IN value Of property, was Sl,795,000.
Only six Of the companies paid any dividend
whatever, and the most fortunate of these
six was one Of the smallest companies, which
divided SIX and two-thirds per cent. The
Prussian Mining and Iron Company Of
Dusseldorf, with capital of S2,70O,000
actually lost $60510 on last years opera
sion, and S2l5,O00 on those of the year

Dexter the tanner Of bovines, created a
great sensation on the streets by appear

oxen, all in harness and driven tandem.
The gay and festive looking beasts pranced

as our John would say. Governor Thayer
was invited to take ride, and was driven
about for some time by Dexter. Other
gentlemen also enjoyed the novelty. Dex-
ter says that either of his oxen can trOt a

of money that he can load wagon with

than any, four horse or mule team with the

WE learn that Mrs. Shay contemplates
giving lectures Doubtless her experience,
attainment and capacity fully qualify her to
excel as lecturer Mrs. S. has had long
experience on the stage, and from multi
tude of notices which we have had the
pleasure of looking over, she must be ranked
as number one actress The lecture
which she contemplates giving is entitled
The Church and the Theatre" The sub
iect chosen is a very fruitful one, and Mrs. S.
will undoubtedly do it justice. We learn
that Mrs. S. will enter the field as lecturer
under her nom de plume or professional name
of Caroline Hayes.
