HAYES IN FAVOR OF GRANT.-A
Washington correspondent of the Cleve-
land Leader says: "A curious feature
about the Grant movement is the fact
that President Hayes seems to look
with favor upon the possibility that biz
predecessor may also be his successor.
lie is reported 10 have expressed himself
10 a number of friends OF late in way
that shows he would not be at all
displeased if Grant were 20 step in when
ne steps out. His idea seems to be
that Grant would carry out substani ally
tuL policy Of the present administration
in regard to all important questions,
aud especially the Southern question
and the money question. while stat
wart' like Blaine or Conking coming
into power in 1881 might try to reverse
every thing done during the preceding
four years. Mr.. Hayes evidently looks
upon his pshcy as the result OF Grants
experience. aud it certainly is in accord
with Grants advice on leaving the pres
ldency. The nomination Of a pro-
nouncod stalwart' in 1880 would
naturally seem to Mr.. Hayes like a
rebuke to his administration, while that
of Gen. Grant he would regard as in
some sort a viud:catiou, and as ailordinS
an assurance Of the continuance OF
moderate policy.

SENATOR EDMUND's BILL FOR
COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VOTE
The bill Of Senator Edmupds, which
was introduced at the last session Of
Congress, representing the views of the
select committee appointed for that
purpose, and providing a new and
explicit system for counting the votes Of
electors in the elections Of President
and Vice-Presldent Of the United States.
passed the Senate last Friday by a SUBJ
stantial majority. All the republican
Senators who were present voted for it,
and nearly all the democratic Senators
voted against it. This would seem to
seal the fate Of the bill when it comes
iuLo the House, IN which the democrats
have such a positive majority. Ii is
certainly much to be desired that such
provision shall be made at the earliest
day possible for counting the electoral
votes as will prevent the recurrence OF
the dangerous complication of 1876.
but it is probable that Mr.. Edmund's
close identity with the authorship Of the
electoral commission act, by virtue OF
which Mr.. Hayes was elevated to the
presidency, iDclnes democrats TO look
upon the most ingenious and innocent
measure emanaling from that Senator
upon that subject with suspicion. The
bill, judging from Mr.. Edmund's ex
PLANTATION OF its chief provisions. is
intended to delegate the entire matter
Of th- choice Of electors in the most
absolute manner TO the States them
selves, and for this purpose the
presidential election is to be held
month earlier, aud the meeting Of the
electors at the State capital is postponed
\ month later than nj present prescribed.
The counting of the votes is to be done
as now. By the two houses Of Congress
in JOINT convention. and. in the case OF
two sets Of rctmHs, the two houses
together must declare which is the tru,
one. Ii there should be anv question
as to the legitimacy or official char
acter of a return, it IS net TO be received
except upon the affirmative vote Of both
houses. The other provisions Of the
bill seem to be similar to those Of the
existing law.

Electricity has been added to The
duckiDs-tub as mode of punishment
in the Columbus (Ohio) penitcntiar,.
The prisoner is first stripped Of his
clothing. then bliudfelded and taken
INTO the room where the tub is kept.
There he is ordered to sit down in water
three inches deep. and, one pole OF the
battery having been placedin the wai-r.
a sponge is attached to the other. With
this sponge the body Of the prisoner is
touched rapidly in several places. Not
knowing where he is to be touched, as
his eyes are still kept blindfolded' his
sufl, ring becomes the greater. The
pain sometimes produced is said to be
great. and causes the prisoner to shout
in loud and piercing tones. Unless a
careful physician is employed to direct
the use of thc electricity people will be
led to question the wisdom and humanity
of this innovation. This is the refine
ment Of cruelty.

If you cannot settle this debt question

We want no siCkl' s1ntimentalitY

Remember We have no organization.
If we are to have one it must be begun
by our representatives now in Richmond.
Start it there and it will be a success.
Without organization defeat is assured
in advance. With ii. success comes
without effort.
Be careful. gentlemen, that you ale
