Another tinker proposes to mend
the presidential kettle. We have long
wondered. how Fernando Wood has
contrived to maintain silence wien
there is such a tempting opportunity
10 make q noise. HIS silence is ex-
planned by a Geographic dispatch to
Mondays Virginia Chronicle, with
which we were not favored, He has
MI idea, of course, but he has modestly
refrained from presenting it until the
committees on the count be heard.
He proposes to have . new election in
Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida
between new and the second Wednes-
day in February. He attaches no i'm
portance to Oregon, and would not
like to Q Tilden inaugurated 0 Cro-
Minis vote. The whole question there
fore hinges npon the true will of the vot.
ers in the three disputed States. "My
proposition" he says, " is that in these
States there shall be a new election
under the State laws, but supervised
and in . measure directed by tho joint
committee Of the Senate and House on
the electoral count. Every one would
would be satisfied with the result of a
new election SO guarded, aud it would
show to the world the strength Of our
institutions and tho power of the peo-
pie for peaceful self-government." Mr..
Wood, We presume, proposes to obvi-
ate the constitutional difficulty, arising
from the fact that the electoral colleges
Of tho several States shall cast their
votes on the first Monday in Deem.
Der, by pledging both parties in both
Houses to count Of the disputed re-
turns already cast those which shall be
indicated by the proposed new election
to have been the choice of the people.
The late General Bartlett, after hav-
ing been several times wounded, wrote
to the lady of his choice releasing her
from her engagement, and it was she
who wrote the memorable words, "Ill
marry yon II there's enough left Of
your body to hold your SOUL" He
lived happily and left five children.

SuNDAY.IN CoLUMBIA.-Most of our ol,urches
were unusually well attended. last Sunday. The
venerable and eloquent DIR. Plumer occupied
the pulpit Of the First Presbyterian Church in
the morning, and preached one of tho most DOW
erful sermons that has been heard in Columbia
for many months. He selected us his theme the
Fourth Commandment. and handled his inter.
esting subject in masterly style, concIusively
proving by the cogency Of his reasoning that
this important Commandment Ia as binding and
obligatory on us to-day as It was when thun.
dered forth from Mount Sinai. He clearly dis.
sipated the erroneous opinion held by many
that the Sabbath should be kept only as day Of
pleasure and recreation. Such forcible dis.
course as this will surely be productive of much
good 10 the community. In the afternoon, the
funeral of little Cora Love took place at the
Presbyterian Church. Tho solemn services
were conducted by the Revs Drs Howe and
Plumer, and were peculiarly impressive. Six
and several affecting Sabbath school odes were
sung, which were rendered doubly touching by
tho fact that little Cora, before she died, re.
quested that these favorite hymns of hers should
be sung at her funeral. The night services at
the two Methodist Churches were we'll attend.
