The President has stated that he will
sign the Electoral Count bill ifit is pass
ed by Congress.
The Democratic Congressman from
Louisiana, and Colonel Bourke, who re-
Gently arrived from New Orleans, had an
interview with the President ON Saturday.
They express themselves perfectly satis-
fed with the result, the President having
intimated that he will not change his poll
cy in regard to the rival Governments in
Louisiana.
Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, had
a slight attack of paralysis on Friday
night, but has so far recovered that it is
thought he can 60 out to-day. He sat up
and conversed with some friends yester-
day.
In the U. S. Senate on Saturday, Mr..
Morton presented the credentials Of Will
liam P. Kellogg as U. S. Senator from
Louisiana. They are signed by Packard.
They were read and laid ON the table.
The Presidents message in reference to
the occupation of Petersburg, Va, by
troops on election day, was discussed by
Messrs. Withers and Morton.
Senator Morton received a telegram
from indianapolis, on Saturday morning,
informing him that the Republican mem
bers of the Indiana Legislature, at cau-
Gus the night before, unanimously APPROX
ed his opposition to the "Compromise
Plan"
Messrs Tilden, Hayes and Wheeler de-
cline to express their opinions of the Elec-
toral Count bill. Mr.. Hendricks declines
to be interviewed on the subject, but is
understood to have expressed to his inti-
mate friends his warm approval of the
measure.
A resolution approving the bill for the
counting the Electoral votes was carried
in the Chicago Board of Trade on Satur-
day, by very close vote.

South CARoLINA.-The Charleston
Courier of the 18th says that the Hamp-
ton tax receivers have as much as they
can do to fill out receipts for the inflow
ing ten per cent. tax payments The
same paper says:
Among those who paid up their taxes
were number of colored men who own
property in the city. A large merchant
in New York, to whom his Charleston
agent wrote to ask whether he. should
pay his quota to the Hampton govern
ment, replies as follows: Il notice what
you say about taxes. Please do as you
think best. am for Hampton.
The Courier publishes several columns
of names signed to pledge to pay the
Hampton taxes, and further pledge
themselves to pay no taxes whatsoever
imposed upon US by the pretended gov
ernment OF which Mr.. Cham mberlain is
the head, and to support each other in
all lawful resistance to their collec-
tion."

After the election the papers all announc-

elect Hayes. The men who attempted
to hatch the conspiracy We're known to
be strangers to honor, but they would
soon recognize that there was a public
before whom their plots would fall to the
ground! The republican O. committee
which had gone down South at the in
stance of President Grant had encouraged,
the conspirators in their work of infamy.
They had gone into conclave with those
men and had given them to understand
that the army of the United States govern
ment would sustain them in any wrong
they might commit on bleeding people;
but he declared that the American people
would never submit to it. A conspiracy
under the auspices Of a Cesar or Ma
poleon might be borne, but submission
to conspiracy under the auspices of q
returning board composed of scalawags
and Office-holders implied a degradation
to which Anglo-Saxon manhood would
never fall. He criticised severely the ac-
tion of the President in sending troops to
the Southern States, deplorlng the lot of
the Republic when its defenders should
become its oppressors. He also criticised
the Returning Board of Louisiana, declar
ing that all its acts were illegal, inasmuch
as II had not filled vacancy which had
occurred in it. He argued tn favor ofthe
power of the House in counting the cleo
toral vote. He thought that no one
could successfully deny the right and
power of the House to object to the vote
of any State. In a certain emergency
the constitution provides that the House
should elect President, and it was for
tunate that if such emergency should
arise the present House would elect ma
jority candidate. The majority of the
House was in harmony with majority

A COMMA AS AN INSTRUMENT OF
FRAUD.

The claim of the United States for the
return of the S1,500,000 lent to help out
the Centennial Exposition has been re-
jected blythe United StatesC Circuit Comtat
Philadelphia, although there are abund-
ant funds remaining in the hands of the
managers with (which to satisfy it. Con-
sequently, unless the decision of the court
is reversed on appeal, the 81 100000 will
be distributed among the stockholders in
the enterprise, and be just so much taken
out OF the public Treasury for their bene-
fit. t.r...
That this would be the result was fore
told by the opponents of the loan at the
time it was proposed, and was indignant
ly denied by its friends. Some of them
ut least, were disingenuous in their denial
and intended that the money should be
gift and not loan, as is evident from
the peculiar wording of the bill appropri-
ating it.
tect the interests of the nation, and which
was used to secure votes for the grant,
reads thus:
The appropriation hereinbefore made
shall be paid in full into the Treasury OF
the United States before any dividend, or
percentage of the profits shall be paid to the
holders Of said stock"
Inc ADVOCATES OF the RranJ prO1eSSeQ TO
read these words with comma after the
word "dividend" and persuaded the pub
lie that no dividend of any kind would
be paid to the stockholders until the loan
from the United States had been first re-
turned. Now, by their counsel learned
in the law, they have successfully con-
tended that there is no such comma, and
that only al"dividend o. per centage
of profits" was intended. Inasmuch as
dividend of capital is not dividend of
profits, they have got the Judge to say
that the stockholders may pocket the
81 100000 as returned capital, and the
United States must lose the whole.
This is not the first time that comma
or the want of it has been made a fish
hook by which to pull money out of the
public Treasury. A clause in the Tariff
act of 1875, by the omission of this mo-
dest sign of punctuation, admitted free of
duty all kinds of foreign fruits, when the
intention of Congress was merely to eX-
empt fruits imported for the sake of their
seeds. The trick in that case was univer-
sally denounced and speedily frustrated,
but in regard to the 81 100000 now in
question the nation is very possibly with
out a remedy. The whole transaction is
in keeping with the character of city
which shelters Addition, Division, and
Silence Kemble.-N. Y. San.

CASH AND CREDIT.

If farmers, and other people, would
buy all of their groceries, and other fami-
ly necessaries, for ready cash, about %
per cent. could be saved, by purchasing
IN cities or large towns, of merchants who
sell exclusively for cash, 81 haven't the
money to buy all l need for cash" says
Mr.. A. But you could have the necessary
money, If you would arrange your bust
ness so that you could command $500 or
$500 that is not required to pay your
debts. For farmer to work hard all the
season, and in the fall to have to turn
over all his crops to the village storekeep-
er, to pay old debts, is very discourag-
ing. Then he is compelled to commence
a new credit account, against his crops
for the next season. He does not, gener-
ally, ask the price of what he buys on
credit; and when he receives his bill at
the end of the year, he is astonished at
the amount. At the same store where
he gets trusted, perhaps score or two
of men have run up long bills on credit,
and are unable to pay. Some may have
gone away, and others may not own any
property in their own names their wives
owning everything) and these debts are
said to be "iost." But they are not lost,
as every responsible farmer, and other
person, who deals with the merchant, on
taking an account of his stock to see how
he stands as to profit, says: "I have lost
during the yearin bad debts sand 1 must
make my good customers pay these losses,
without letting them know it," So he
marks up the prices of his goods accord
ingly. For thirty-five years 1 have
bought my groceries by the wholesale, at
about the same prices that country mer-
chants have to pay for them; and know
that saved thousands of dollars. This
subject is well worthy serious consi-
deration by farmers, and all people who
have large families to support.-Cecil
Wing.

THE PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT.

There were 9,092 failures in the United
States last year, twenty per cent, more
than in 1875, which sowed an equal in
crease over the year before, although this
WAS the year after the panic. This, Jon the
face of 1t, is disheartening statement,
but further investigation Will suggest
less discouraging view of these figures.
trade are relt quite as keenly by the MAJ
tional banks, and the Comptroller of the
Currency's report shows that the total
amount of outstanding accounts charged
to profit and loss and marked off during
the year was greater than for any year
since the matt iona1 banking act was passeg.
During the past year there has beenmo
reorganization of manufacturing COM
panieS and severer scaling down, of in
Hated capital to its actual earning cap
acity than ever before in the same time.
These shrinkages can be traced directly
back to the panic of 1873. Then all values
were unshaken and every one who could
hold on to his property did so, feeling
that so many others were deeply invol-
we'd that the supply OF stocks, bonds,
paper and manufactured goods was
greater then the demand. Nor has there
been until last year any time when CAPT
tall ,ts felt that values were sufficiently
settled to satisfy themselves that the bot.
tom to which we had been falling was
finally reached. The depression Of the
fall OF 1873 found great amount of ac-
tive capital permanently invested. Money
made in trade had been diverted to real
estate and speculations foreign to the
business which produced it, and when it
was needed to meet sudden demands it
was not forthcoming. Extensions were
granted and re-eXtensions, but values
kept falling until at last debtors gave up
the vain attempt to satisfy their creditors
and took refuge in bankruptcy. .
Our own city and State make report
which is indicative not only of financial
integrity but of business transacted or
a proper basis. While the total amount
has fallen off five per cent. in the whole
country the totals have fallen in Pennsyl-
yania from SIS, PAT ,872 in 1876 to S15,O13,-
375, though the number hes increased
from 583 to 683, The Middle States, rs
whole, suffer the most, their failures be-
ing one in fifty-seven yet the average
liabilities in New England, where the
ratio of failures was one in fifty-nine, was
$28, ,628, compared with 24,So0in the Mid
die States. On the Pacific coast one in
sixty failed, IN the South one in sixty
four and in the West one in seventy-two
but in Pennsylvania only one in one hun
dred and twenty-four became bankrupt.
No other great State except Missouri
makes anything like so favorable an ex-
hibit If we compare the great cities of
the country Philadelphia is again alone
in the front. The following table shows
the seven leading cities in the contry:

Fortunate people are not always hap

adviser of the late Commodore Wander
built, was fortunate (?) enough to have
a $3.50, 900" in the Commodore's will,
and ever since that fact has transpired he
has been bored almost to death, he SAYS,
by people who are constantly impor-
tuning him for portion of the money.
So annoyed has he been in this respect
that on Sunday he felt constrained to
make mention of the nuisance from his
pulpit. and to threaten flight from the
city il it was persisted in. Poor Deems.
