House OF Representatives will then be
Democratic, and there will be nineteen
Democratic and nineteen Republican
State delegations, or a tie. In case the
Electoral College fails TO decide presl-
Dental election, it devolves upon the
House to elect, voting by States. The
States being tied, there would be no cleo
ton OF a President the election would
lapse. Now, the duty OF electinga Vice
President rests with the Senate, in a
like case, and it must select from among
the candidates voted for at the National
election. The Senate being Democratic,
it would, of course, elect the candidate
named on the National Democratic
ticket. When, you see, the House hav-
ing failed to elect a President, and it be-
ing provided that in case OF vacancy in
the Presidential chair the Vice Presi-
dent is to fill such vacancy, the Vice
President elected by the Senate would
be President.

The Battle Before Cabul

LONDON, October l3.--Special dis
patches from Afghanistan contain the
following:
The Ameer is strictly guarded. 1t is
hard to believe that Gakoob Khan was
not aware that his army had taken mp n
position to oppose the British advance
upon Cabul. On the G;h inst, the day
OF the defeat Of the Afghan army before
Cabul, the Ameer's messengers were
passing every few hours over the road
held bythe Cabul troops. The loss OF 1.-THE
Afghans in the affair OF the 9th was 400
killed.
A special from Cabul, says: No quar-
ter was given any one found firing upon
the British, and the prisoners taken in
the fight were shot. The leaders OF the
mutineers are the Ameer's most trusted
