The Electoral Vote.

The electoral votes of the several
States were doubtless cast on We'd
nesday in accordance with the re-
suits of the November election, and
now nothing remains to be done but
the formal count by the President of
the Senate in the presence of the
two Houses of Congress on the sec
ond Wednesday in February. The
vote stands Garfield 214, Hancock
155; Garfeld's majority SO. This
compares very favorabIy with the
electoral majorities received by sue
cessful candidates in the past. James
Madison's majority for his second
term was exactly the same. WASH
ington's first majority over John Adj
ans was %; his second was 80.
Adams was elected by a majority of
three over jefferson, who in the
next canvass received no majority,
and was elected by the House
against Aaron Burr. Jefferson's see
ond election was almost unanimous,
his vote being 1852 against IA
for Charles c. Pinckney. James
Madlson's first majority was So, and
his second SO. Monroe's first
majority was 149, while st his second
election he was opposed by only one
vote. John Quincy Adams was
elected by the House. The follow
ing are the later majorities: Jackson
over Adams, 95; Jackson over Clay,
Floyd and Writ, 159; Van Bnren
over Harrison: White, Webster and
Mangum, SO; Harrison over Van
Buren, ia; Polk over Clay, 65; Tay-
ler over Cass, SO; Pierce over Scott,

A Buffalo Stops a Locomotive.

BILE of 80 desperate an enterprise as that
involved in challenging a railway train
at full speed, had not detailed account
of his successful encounter with the
evening express. leaving Pesth for Vi
emma on the 9TH inst, appeared in the
Austrian official journal. It seems that
the train, travelling at the rate of thirty
miles an hour, had to be pulled up
short when approaching Rakos Station,
to avoid running down an enormous
buffalo, who had taken up menaclng
attitude between the rails, and there
stood snorting out defiance to its advanc-
ing foe. This intrepid animal had few
hours previously brought a goods train to
standstill on the same spot, which he
evidently regarded as the frontier of his
own especial domain, not to be violated
with impunity by any iron monster that
ever hurtled along on wheels. A large
party of the Staatsbahn's servants was
assembled, with considerable trouble and
loss of time, the express and the buffalo
remaining stationary the while, facing
one another like two doughty but pru-
dent adversaries. After many fruitless
attempts to drive the huge beast off the
line, the railway officials coDtrived to
lasso him, and, tying his legs tightly
together, to haul him bodily into an adj
joining field. The Staatsbahn authorl-
ties have offered a reward for the dis
covery of his owner, whom they Intend
to prosecute for allowing so savage a
brute to be at Large. Meanwhile the
horned hero is in durance vile, receiving,
doubtless, all the consideration due to a
brave prisoner of war.-[London Tele-

What Shall We Dot

According to the New Orleans
Times the people-the great masses
are in q bad predicament; are between
two horns of dilemma, to choose
either of which always proves disas-
trous; that is, if they let politics alone,
the professional politicians will seize
the reins of Government, national,
state and municipal. and drive the
whole layout to ruin; tax the very
life out of the said people, and fatten
on the proceeds until their eyes stand
out with fairness. This is very true.
But on the other hand, if they do not
let politics alone, they will be as bad.
ly depleted and exhausted by the poll
ticians. So it seems that do what
they will they are bound to be de-
pleted and exhausted.
Under these circumstances, what shall
We do? Fold our hands and let the
politicians draw away at our life-blood
or work ahead cbeelf fully with them,
opening the fountains of sustenauce
with our own hands and inviting them
to partake freely?
But the Times SAYS a big fellow is
coming, with big, hard club, who
will knock the political hummer in the
bead and take the bone away from
him; but then that big fellow with
the club will have the bone, and will
no doubt keep tit would be harder
to dispossess such q statwsrt fellow
of it than it would to snatch it from
the jaundice-eyed bummer-and where
is the relief to the people to come
from? We await . solution Of the
question With great anxiety.

The speech was mastery effort, in

the unconstitutional act of Mr.. Lin.

were correct? If so, how mauy lives
and what vast destruction of prop

was not to he SO; an overriding
Providence or immutable law deter

pose of God that the war should be
fought to the bitter end and that the
slaves should be set free.
The war was fought and the issues
involved in the contest was forever
settled. Hence. we cannot see the
object in reproducing Mr.. Bayard's

that he has always been a strong de.
