The New York World prints facsimile
OF an interesting memorandum in Jefferson's
handwriting suggesting provisions of bill to
regulate the decision of disputed presidential
elections, and probably prepared in 1900,
when the question was up in Congress. It
proposes that the certificate of the executive
of any state shall be conclusive evidence that
the requisite number of votes has been given
for each elector named by him as such, and
further suggests that "whenever the vote of
one or more of the electors of any state shall
Tor any Cause whatever be adjudged invalid,
it shall be lawful for the senators and repre-
sentatives of the said state, either in the
presence of the two houses or separately and
Withdrawn from them, to decide by their own
votes to which of the persons voted for by
any of the electors of their state Tor to what
person. the invalid vote or votes shall be
given; for which purpose they shall be al
lowed the term of one hour and no longer,
during which no other certificate shall be
offered or proceeded on"

EVERY one says, and many believe, that
the present conflict between the military
President of the French Republic and the
National Assembly of France must end in a
coup Petat, under the firm hand and iron
will of the military chieftain, who labors un.
der the suspicion of being mere of Bonapar-
tist than of an Orleanist or Bourbon, but,
nbove all, of desiring to continue in office,
not merely until the close of his seven-y ears
term in November, 1880, when his son will
be twenty years of age, but for the rest of
his life. He, too, may wish TO found his dy-
nasty, but his eldest son, now a lieutenant in
she regular army Of France, will not be
twenty years old until 1880, and has given no
signs OF talent in any line. The day of the
general elections in France is not yet fixed,
but it is understood that it will be the 14th
OF October. If the result be against MacMa-
non he may resort to the dreaded and ex-
pected coup d'etat, but in that case it is posi-
lively declared in Germany that Bismarck,
declaring the French government TO be revo-
lutionary, will not acknowledge it.

DE WITT TALMAGE says: "One of the
greatest trials of the newspaper profession is
that its members are compelled to see more
OF the shams of the world than any other pro.
'ession. Through every newspaper office,
day after day, go all the weaknesses of the
world; all the yanities they want to puff; all
the revenges that want to be reaped all the
mistakes that want to be corrected; all the
dull speakers who want to be thought elo-
quent; all the meanness that wants to get its
wares noticed gratis in the editorial columns,
in order to save the tax of the advertising
columns; all the men who want to be set right
who never were right; all the crack-brained
philosophers with stories as long as their
hair, and as gloomy as their fnger-nails in
mourning be cause bereft of soap-all the
bores who come to stay five minutes but talk
five hours. Through the editorial and re-
portorial rooms, all the follies and shams Of
the world are seen day after day, and tempta.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
FOR GOVERNOR:
SELDEN CONNOR
of Augusta.
The Raid upon the Treasury.
of Augusta,

Inc Honorable Samuel j. Randall appears
10 nave become thoroughly alarmed at the
lntrlgues in connection with the Speakership
OF the new House and has hastened to outbid
MS rivals by committing himself unreservedly
70 the furtherance of the raids projected upon
the national treasury by the Southern lead
ers and by the Texas Pacific men. At first
MIR. Randall was, in words at least, opposed
10 the schemes of internal improvement
through which the South hopes to enrich it.
self at the expense of the whole nation. Soon
however, finding that the real leaders of the
party would tolerate no opposition to their
new policy, and would unhesitatingly throw
MIN overheard should he persist in his course,
ne assumed position of mild neutrality
and talked in generalities which had
not even the: merit of glitter about
the necessity of developing by judicious legis-
iatlon the industrial resources of the South.
This non-committal attitude did not prove
satisfactory to his determined allies and he
has been compelled to publicly announce him
self in favor of all the jobs which Lamar and
his following will press upon the attention of
Congress next winter.
Mr. Kandalps surrender is very significant.
1t means that the Northern Democrats have
yielded to the pressure brought upon them
py their Southern allies, have abandoned the
last but one of the old party dogmas state
rights being still adhered to - and have
adopted in its entirety the Whig scheme of
internal improvements. The old line Whig,
at whose appearance we have all scoffed, will
nave seat in the next Congress, and will do
much toward debating the legislation of that
body. The South will be nearly solid for the
Texas Pacific subsidy and like schemes, the
majority of Northern Democratic members
will do as the South requests, and the advo-
Gates of railroad subsidies will thus come
within few votes of controlling both houses
at the start. There is danger that the few
votes needed may be given by Republicans
who in their anxiety to conciiate
the South are ready to work and
vote against the best interests of the
North and the Nation. Such a course
would be suicidal, but in the blindness of
their new zeal the men who are so anxious
Tor reconciliation that they are willing to
bribe the South with land grants and money
subsidies, fail to perceive the drift of their
policy. They can only be deferred from their
unwise course by strong expression of pop
ular opposition. Here in Maine the Repub-
licans have given an unmistakable expression
OF opinion while the Democracy hold an
ominous silence. Let the people Of the state
see to it that this declaration against land
grants is endorsed by strong popular ma
Jority, for unless we show, here and else
where, that the nation is strongly opposed to
these subsidy schemes the raid upon the
Treasury will certainly succeed.

The great wall of China was measured in
many places by Mr.. Unthank, an American
engineer, lately engaged on survey for a
Chinese railway. His measurements give
the height at IS feet, and width on top of
10 feet. Every few hundred yards there is a
tower "a feet square, and from twenty to 45
feet high. The foundation of the wall is Of
solid granite. Mr.. Unthank brought with
him brick from the wall, which is supposed
to have been made 200 years before the time
OF Christ. In building this immense stone
fence to keep out the Tartars, the builders
never attempted to avoid mountains or
chasms to save expense. For 1900 miles the
wall goes over plain and mountain, and every
foot of the foundation is in solid granite, aud
the rest of the structure in solid masonry.
In some places the wall is built smooth up
against the bank, or canons, or precipices,
where there is sheer descent of 1000 feet.
Small streams are arched over, but in the
larger streams the wall runs to the waters s
edge, and tower Is built on each side. On
the top Of the wall there are breastworks or
defenses, facing in and out, so the defending
force can pass from one tower to the other
without being exposed to any enemy from
either side. To calculate the time of bnild.
ing or the cost of this wall is beyond human
skill. So far as the magnitude of the work
is concerned, 1t surpasses anything in ancient
or modern times of which there is any trace.
The pyramids of Egypt are nothing COM
pared to it.

JUST prior TO his defeat the great Malone

with that same yell ''swaying" in congratula-
tions of his opponent, who walked over him
