CURRENT COMMENTS.

The contemplated voting of money
men and arms to the cause OF Hayes by
the radical members of the Pennsylvania
Legislature is severely commented upon
by the Lancaster MtelHgencer, and it
concludes the subject by saying that the
state guard of rascally politicians will be
as ineffective as their patent returning
boards to put the country under the do
minion of party that has been rejected
at the ballot-box.
In an elaborate review of "Who con-
trols the count?" the Albany -Arq,,s
maintains that from the organization of
the government until now the method of
| counting the vote has been exclusively
under the control of both houses of Con-
gress, and that no method of counting is
valid to which they do not concu,rently
assent, if precedents are worth any
thing.

The portion of the committee measure
OF the electoral counting which will at
tract most attention, is that relating to
the double returns from Oregon, Florida,
South Carolina and Louisiana. The Sc
cond section begins thus:
SECTION 2. That if more than one re-
tnrn or paper purporting to be return
from State shall have been received by
the President of the Senate, purporting
10 be the certificates of electoral yot6
given at the last preceding election for
President and Vice President in such
State unless they shall be duplicates of
the same return, all such returns and ma
pers shall be opened by him in the pres
ence of the two houses, when met as afore-
said, and read by the tellers. And all
such returns and papers shall thereupon
be submitted to the judgment and deci-
sion, as to loIttch is the true and ldrttl elec-
tOrdl rote Of such State. of a commisslo ion
constituted as follows
Inis submission seems to only allow the
commission to decide between two or
more returns, and not 10 exclude all.
which would prevent the commission
from deciding that there were no lawful
votes from Louisiana at all. But subse.
quent provisions declare:
"When all such objections so made to
any certificate, vote or paper from a State

A Brace of Railroad Accidents.

The night express from New York
over the Harlem met with an accident a
couple of miles below East Dorset. The
sleeping car was thrown of the track
by broken rail and turned over upon
its side. The passengers, four in num-
Der, escaped uninjured, as did the CON
ductor and porter. The train reached
here about seven O'Clock. A wreck
train was made up and carried Superin-
tendent Burdett, Master Mechanic n =.
l.. DAYS., and General Superintendent
J.W, Hobart, who was in town. to the
scene. The car was found to be imbed-
ded i'm the muck, and broke all the tack
les that were fastened to il. The wreck
train returned in the evening, leaving
the car. The accident was probably
caused by broken rail. The flange OF
one of the wheels of the car is also bro
ken off. a-i
f. s. IIerrick, the drawing-room car
conductor, was in the Plattsburg when
ii went through the Pittsford bridge.
Bell, the colored porter, was in that ac-
cident and IN the ear which was burned
at South Wallingford last winter.
The baggage car of the up passenger
train on the Rutland and Washington
road, G. w. Potter conductor, was

Wednesday A pair of trucks on the
baggage car were demolished and one
on the passenger car, but no further
damage was done. The train was de-
layed about fom hours.-lGlobe ofJan-

|-| =
In Scotland, intempersn,cc still BATTLES
the friends of law and relieion.s In
a recent report TO the established pres
bytery of Edinburgh il Is clearly shown.
that drilnkenfess has mcreased In the
past five years thirty per cent. among
men and tliirty-three per cent. among
women. This increase is chiefly among
the poorer classes, upon which nearly
all the energies oftcn1pcrancc reform
have been concentrated. In the higher
classes there has doubtless been great
Improvement. and ii is noticed as n
good sign that there is. less drinking
now than Formerly among The small en-
ployers and among skilled women, and
II is hoped that the morality of the low
err classes will be improved by the eX-
ample of those above them. The,skilled
workman has discovered that sobietv is
the best policy. In order that the low
er class may discover this, change is
necessary IN their homes these must be
made more attractive than the taverns.
So that II would seem that the reform is
to begin with the women. Preaching
appears not to affect them, for if they
would hear it, they have had the most
earnest cxhortation from the Scotch
pulpits, and the result is that in five
years drunkenness of women has in
creased thirty-thrce per cent. So long
as the woman cannot make her home
so attractive rs the gaudy grog-shop
there is little likelihood that her mls-
band will prefer it, and when he spends
his time and money at the tavern, what
more natural than that the woman
should grow more and more slatternly
and fall into drunkenness and all sorts
of vice?

Counting the Vote,

Mr.. Galusha A. Grow, who was The
Immediate predecessor Of Mr.. ColfiN
as speaker OF the House of Representa-
lives, has written q letter 10 Q New
York paper on the counting Of the cleo
toral vote. his opinion is that under
the constitution Congress may, by law,
direct the method of counting, but that
in the absence of such provision the
count must be made by the president of
the senate, and that the president of the
senate as the custodian of the returns,
and in receiving and opening n,and
in everything he has to do with them, is
an official created by the constitution
itself for 0 specific duty, and in its per-
formanco he Is not fhe presiding Off
Ger Of the senate, as such for of either or
both houses, so as TO be subject TO their
direction in any way, unless by force of
Joint rple or positive law. II is not
necessary for his performance of the
duty that he should preside ut the joint
meeting; he could count the vote as
well from the clerks desk, but Congress
cannot count II except by some method
previously settled by concurrent action.
Judge Cofiey, of Washington, also
writes TO maintain substantially fhe
same theory Of the constitutional mole
of counting the vote. ....
