THE HERALD ALMANAC.

We have received copy of the New
York Herald Almanac and Financial,
Commercial and Political Register tor
1877.
In the compilation OF this valuable
book of reference, special care has been
taken to perfect the political department
OF the issue tor 1877.
The great importance to work recog-
nized and consulted as authentic, to pre-
sent in its pages the full and complete
official returns Of the presidential vote OF
all the states and territories in the late
election, rendered it absolutely necessary
to delay the present publication to the
last moment.
In addition to these returns specially
prepared and furnished to the Herald AL
manac, the issue for 1877 contains the
full account of the electoral bill to pro-
vide for the counting Of the vote for
president and vice-president, etc.
The vote on the passage of the bli
through both houses-names of senators
and memberships and nays.

LAST week two men were sentenced to
die on the gallows in New Jersey. One
Of them only met that fate, the other
having been poisoned in his cell on the
morning Of the day fixed for the execu-

the last and left "dying statement
solemnly asserting they had not been
guilty Of the bloody deed for which they
were condemned TO die. The evidence
against them was purely circumstantial.
Since their death, woman has written
an anonymou. letter to the New York
Herah in which she declares the inno-
cence OF Oschwald and Ryan, and says
her own husband did the deed. She eX-

THE COMBINATION OF THE VII
LAINY

On last Saturday the report OF the
electoral commission, In which Louisi-
ana was counted for Gov. Hayes. was
made to the house OF representatives.
Mr.. Lamar offered resolution directing
the clerk OF the house to inform the sem
ate that the house would be ready TO re-
ceive that body at fl o'clock on Monday.
Mr.. Kasson endeavored to compel the
house to 20 into joint session without de-
lay, but the house adjourned.
A caucus OF the Democrats was held
OH Saturday night. and the situation was
discussed with spirit. The fiery leaders
Of the extreme element Of the party at
tempted, without SUCCESS, to induce
the house to resist the contamination
of the presidential yillainy to which
the electoral commission has given its
endorsement. Mr.. walling offered a res.
olution declaring the duty of the house
to be to do no further legislation, to not
recognize the commission and to not
meet in joint session to further the cleo
toral vote under its decision. This re-
cieyed only - votes. Mr.. Cochrane Of
fered resolution declaring the duty OF
congress to be the defeat Of the fraudu-
lent acts OF the electoral commission by
iilibustering. Mr.. Reagan offered as a
substitute for this a resolution, that the
count of the electoral vote shall proceed
without dilatory opposition. This SUBJ
stitute, with an amendment solemnly
protesting against the electoral outrage,
was adopted by vote of 90 to 40.
In this action of its caucus, the Demo-
cratic party has again given evidence OF
| its self-sacrifising disposition, and has pre-
pared itself to 60 to the people and ask
them to condemn the rascalities which
have put out of it man elected into the
presidential chair. This appeal will not
be In vain. The Republican party will be

a WHITE whale that has been one of
the conspicuous features at the New
York Aquarium. took sick some weeks
ago and died in the latter part of jan
uary. The body was preserved for dis.
section by the injection Of strong solu-
ton of cloride OF zinc, and
when the whale examined under
the surgeons knife it was found
to have died OF pneumonia, both OF its
lungs having been affected. 1t contracted
the disease from change in the tempe
nature OF the water in the tank, new
supply being twenty degrees lower than
that 10 which it had been accustomed.
The dissection showed the organism OF
the whale to differ from that of man in
having four distinct stomachs and in
other minor particulars.
