CANVASS OF TIE VOTE.

The official canvass of the electoral vote
and the vote for Congressman was made by
Secretary of State Burns yesterday. For
the Republicans there attended w. w.
Morrow and J. Stepacher, and for the Demo-
Gratis E. w. Maslin and William Broderick.
Had Mr.. Burns done as was done elsewhere,
the vote of California would have been given
to General Garfield by good plurality.
The returns of Mendocino, Lassen and Siski-
you came up without being attested by the
seal of the Supervisors, as by law required
and were, to all intents and purposes blank
papers, bearing no sign of official identity.
Had the Secretary not opened them as re-
ceived, and had he held them sealed till yes.
terday, as he had the right to do under the
law, the returns of the counties named must
have been rejected. But as the returns came
In the Secretary opened them, and, discover
ing the fatal blunder named, he telegraphed
to the County Clerks of those counties, thus
enabling them to file proper returns within
time, and by that means the Democratic
Electors plurality was saved.
Mr.. Edgerton received the highest vote for
any Republican Elector-S0, S4S-and Mr..
Del Vale the highest for any Democratic
Eiector-S0,4 42. Taking one from the other
and Hancocks plurality is found to be "a,
not GA as insisted by some
Another calculation employed by some is
to gain an average of each size, and ascertain
the difference, as the aggregate Of the Repub.
lican Electors votes is 4Sl, 63S, and the aver
age is S0,273. Aggregate Democrat vote,
49,, OH; average, 80 $3.50; difference, an i'm
possible 62S votes. 1t is beyond dispute that
"a is the correct plurality of the Democracy.

BEEcHER Oh cALYINIsM.

Henry Ward Beecher is very hard on
the Calvinists. though what has provoked
his energetic and uncomplimentary Ian
guage does not clearly appear. 1t is true
that what be says about the Calvinistic
ideal of God has been said before a great
many times, but it does not seem to have
had any marked effect in mitigating the
austerities of that peculiar creed. 1t is
certainly the case that Calvinism has
always been chung to with very real
affection by those who have been broughtup
init, and thatits sternest and most repellant
features have been most affected by per-
haps the majority of its followers. 1t has
been wickedly suggested by persons en-
tirely devoid of grace that possibly there
may be some special pleasure in the theory
that nearly everybody is to be roasted
through eternity, and that this pleasure
consists principally in the conviction,
tolerably certain to be entertained by the
godly, that whoever else is destined to
perdition, they will be saved. That
there is come solid warrant for
this belief must be admitted, seeing
that no less an authority than Saint Au.
gustine declared one of the foremost
beatitudes of Heaven to consist in the con-
slant observation of the torments endured
by the tenants OF the other place. So
orthodox an opinion as this cannot be
lightly set aside, and therefore it is pos
sible that the Calvinists do derive from
their view OF the future a satisfaction
sufficient to attach them to their belief
with remarkable firmness. 1t would, how
ever, be unjust to so eminently respectable
sect to intimate that they are at all
singular in declining to believe that anyone
who does not accept their theological
scheme can be saved. That exclusive
theory is common to nearly all churches.
and there can be little doubt that it has
been very Influential in keeping them to-
gether, in keeping them apart, and in
causing them to diverge farther and far.

faith.

THE INDIAN CENSUS

We are not surprised that the attempt
the wild Indian tribes should have proved
failure. An investigation of Indian hab-
its and superstitions would have convinced
the Superintendent of the Census that such
a scheme was impracticable. The Indians
are extremely sensitive in regard to all in
ouiries regarding their families, and in
many tribes it is held to be the gravest
improperly to make direct reference to
certain relationships. They have also Pc
culiar ideas in regard to the use of names.
In most tribes of American Indians every
man has two names one by which he is
commonly known, aud which is kind of
nickname, and second which is alto.
gether private, and in great manner
it is considered almost an outrage to ad-
dress the person by it. Most wild
Indians also entertain superstitious objec-
tions to giving any statistics about them
selves or their families. They think that
such revelations invite misfortune, and in
this they are at one with many ignorant
people belonging to what are called civil
lied nations. In England and Ireland, and
even in some parts of this country, much
trouble has always been experienced by the
census enumerators because of these SUI
perstitions, and not infrequently they have
been subjected to i'll treatment by the en-
ragged barbarians to whom their questions
were put. The Indians are much more
suspicious than even the least intelligent
among the peoples named above, and
therefore it was certain that any attempt
to obtain a census of them must prove
abortive.

Two Men Shot With One Bullet - But
Little HOpe-Delivered Himself Up.

SAN JOSE, November 29th.-This evening,
shortly after o'clock, Joe Patton, an ex-
policeman of this city. shot Robert Brewer,
the barkeeper at the Pacific Hotel. The bull,
let passed in under the left nipple and out
under the right nipple making very sore
flesh wound. The same bullet struck Charles
M. Schiele, proprietor of the house, in the
back part of the left thigh, cutting through
his pants and driving his undertaking into
his leg but the ball did not penetrate. Pat.
ton was Immediately arrested. The row
commenced about % cents. It appears that
Patton got his supper and did not have the
money, and the barkeeper abused him. He
was then put out by the landlord and bar
keeper. He returned in short time, paid
the barkeeper, and the latter claims that
Patton then struck him. They then clinched,
and Schiele and the barkeeper put him out,
They had tussle on the sidewalk, and while
this was going on, or Immediately after, the
shot was fred. The case will be investigated

30 many wonderful things are being said
about her that it is difficult to believe
there Is not hoax somewhere. Ii
she is the success she is said to
be- it is very certain that she
will cause a revolution in ship-building,
because vessel on such model is GER
tainly much more convenient for CONNER
cial purposes than any other. A broad,
short ship, with fiat bottom, would carry
very much more freight than the sharpest
clipper that ever sailed, and if such ves-
sci is also steadier and capable of higher
speed, there is every reason that can be
advanced for adopting the washing-tub
model to the exclusion of more graceful ones
altogether. The Livadia is not quite
the first experiment in this direction,
for Admiral Popof of the Russian
navy devised circular ironclad on
much the same model. This circular
ironclad, however, has been declared a
conspicuous failure, and certainly it
achieved no reputation in the war with
Turkey. But the Livadia is said to be a
great success, and if this is so it will have
to be realized that all the naval architects,
with all their science, have hitherto been
working in the wrong direction, and that
the ship Of the future is to resemble a
washing bowl or soup, tureen rather than
anything more graceful.

BURNING UP EVIDENCE. Yesterday fore.
noon during the session of the Police Court
the smoke and smell of burning wooden filled
the Courtroom, which for a time remained a
perplexing mystery. Everybody in the
room thought their clothes were on fire. The
Judge reluctantly joined in the surmise that
probably he, too, was being consumed He
vacated his official chair, took off his coat
and examined it, and everybody waited to
see whether it was "the Court" that was
on fire. Finally he came to the conclusion
that he was not the one that was getting
scorched, and put on his coat. Then at
torneys and police officers and spectators
took their turn at pulling off their coats,
and examining the back of them, only
to be disappointed in not finding an e1pla-
nation. 1t was probably little the most
ridiculous looking crowd during this stripping
and determination that ever occurred in a
Courtroom, and if person could have seen
it without knowing the CAUSE for the pro-
ceedings, he would no doubt have concluded
that the whole audience, from Judge down,
were under charge of having stolen some.
thing and were peeling off to show that they
were not the guilty party It's strange
! thing that man never looks anywhere only
at bis coat-tail when he smells fire, and in a
Court of justice, when the search is earnestly
engaged in by Court, attorneys and audience
generally, it makes the peculiarly graceful
and artistic scene highly interesting. After
the full effect of such search had been
endured in this case until the suspense
was painful, Officer Carroll ascertained that
the smoke came from a cell underneath the
Courtroom, which was occupied by Charles
Small, arrested for larceny, and who was
simply burning up his clothes so that they
might not be used as conclusive evidence of
his robbery of the store from which they had
been stolen. When tie cause of the burning
odor became known in the Courtroom, every
one quietly crawled into his coat and looked
about with an unconscious air to see if any
body had noticed that he had been engaged
in the same performance as all therest. The
burning operation came near not being SO
amusing to Small, for the smudge in his
close cell from the burning cloth almost
smothered him. His vest was almost con-
sumed, and other parts of his clothing were
badly burned. They were put out as soon as
the FIRE was discovered, and will be retained
to ascertain from whence they were stolen.
