THE ELECTORAL VoTE.-The whole num-
Der of electoral votes is 1863, and majority
of them 1856. The entire number of States
is thirty They have all recently
voted, except California, which chooses it's
Congressman in September next. The re-
suit stands as follows

cause she has not voted this fall. The
above figures are precise statement OF the
actual voting of this year, with the electoral
votes of the several States appended. The
footings show majority of 81 for the
Republicans. If we put the votes of Cal
ifornia in the Democratic column, it vii
still leave majority of As for the Republi
cans.
1t will thus be seen that with the sole
South for the Democrats, they will still

cratic, though republican this year, to car
ry the next presidential election. 1t is ye
two years however before the vote for Pres
ident takes place and new issues may pre-

CHOICE OF THE NEXT PREslDENT.-As it is
possible that the national contest of 1850
will result in throwing the choice of Presi-
dent into the House of Representatives it is
of exceeding interest to learn the probable
political complexion, by States, of the next
House. The theory ofnon-election assumes
that three candidates will be in the field,
and that the third will secure sufficient
votes to prevent choice by the people
If the choice could be made by majority
of the House of Representatives the result
would, of course, be in favor of the Democ-
racy. The Constitution directs that " in
choosing the President the votes shall be by
States, the representation from each State
having one vote" In this way the one
member from Colorado will be the equal OF
New York's thirty-three members. With
the present outlook, and leaving out Cali
fornia and Indiana, the delegations will be
divided equally, with eighteen votes on
each side. California's delegation of foul
members will not be chosen till next year
The Indiana representatives comprise Sin
Republicans and six Democrats, with one
Greenbacker. 1t is thus seen to be possible
for the solitary Greenbacker from Indiana
to hold the balance of power and cast thu
vote which elects President.

The burned district embraces nearly forty acres OF
spacious buildings including ten hotels and nineteen
or twenty cottages representing total value OF over
100000, and the black, unshapely ruins mar sadly
enough all the associations of last seasons gayetes
and pleasures The hotels in the order of their des-
tructon are as follows The Ocean House, Congress
Hall, Centre House, Merchants Hotel, Centennial
House Wyoming House. On these and the smaller
structures which shared their fate the insurance
cover about half the loss The fire originated in the
Ocean House. and although nothing definitely Il
known as TO its cause it is believed from the fact tha
the hotel unoccupied that 1t had an incendiarS
origin.

THE VoTE OF DELAwARE.-The total vote
cast in Delaware for Governor at the recent
election amounted to 1868, against 24,07O
two years ago, and 23,749 in 1874. Mr..
Hall, the democratic candidate, got l0,73O;
Rev. Mr.. Stewart, who had the "green'
back" badge, received 1885, and twenty
nine other gentlemen were honored with
the ballots of lis citizens, in punches OF
from up to 80 each. The republican vote,
which was 1861 two years ago and IL ,259
in 1874, disappears from view altogether,
except so far as a small part may be con-
tanned in that cast for the greenback can
didate. All the next Legislature of Della

The prohibition is complete in Caroline,

cally by refusing license. Eight districts
