NEW YORK's ELECTORAL VOTE.

TnE PROPOSED REPUBLICAN STEAL IN NJ
RECT CONFLICT WITH THE CONSTITUTION.
From the Rochester Union.
As the Legislative report has already
advised the reader, Mr.. Potter, of
Saratoga, has introduced in the assem-
bly, bill TO take from the people the
right to vote for Presidential electors,
which they have enjoyed since every
voter now living cast a ballot, and so
abridge II by parceling out the choice
of electors among Congressional dis
tricts as to defeat the win of the people
of the State. The scheme il put for

CALEB CusmNG's remarkable words,
uttered ia 1861, are now being recall
led in many journals. He said: "I
would give great deal to know the
name of the subaltern in the Northern
army to-day who will eventually rise
to the command of the armies Of the
Union and become President of the
United States when the war is ended,
and maintain himself in that Office
just as long as he pleases TO hold it"

Of the most audacious character, and
to certain extent callous to them.
We are yet unwilling to believe, how
ever, that in this latest endeavor, the
Republicans are not daring too much
are not imposing too much upon the
endurance Of too patient people.

A Hartford Times reporter in look
ing over the vote cast for Representa-
tive in Pennington, Connecticut, in the
spring of 1862, found it officially re-
corded as follows:
Henry L. Rood, Republican.
Allen G. Brady, Democrat.............325
A. G.. Brady, Democrat-............... 6
A. Brady, Democrat...-.............. !
-332
Although the votes against Rood,
defeated by one majority, the Republi-
can moderator, according 10 id,r, just
as similar cases were decided in Maine
by Governor Garcelon and Council,
declared that Rood was elected. DEM
ocrats submitted without word. Four
teen years after the records show
another vote, under the same ldU, de-
cided by Republican moderator, in
the same town. The vote is recorded
as follows:
Charles +. Church, Democrat. .............232
Gideon II. Weleh, Republican-.....229
@. II. Welch, Republican-....-.... 3
g. Welch, Republican."............ I
-233
We would naturally look for de-
cision electing the Democratic candi-
date. The ld,0 had &c: changed but
the moderator reversed the law and
declared that the Republican candi-
date was elected. Christian ministers,
reform newspapers and professed
friends of equality before the law,
made no cry of alarm, attended no
indignation meetings, wrote no fam
ing editorials on the sanctity of the
ballot. The reason was obvious. The
enforcement Of the idsO worked 10 their
interests in the former case, while 20
noring its prorisiOas accomplished the
same purpose in the latter. No won-
der Democrats at times criticise the
ambassadors of Christ, and writers in
the religious press.

young ploughman once went counting
on a Saturday night. In vain he
raeked his brain for some interesting
topicj he could call up no subject
suitable for the occasion--not one sen

hours he sat in silent despair. The
girl herself was equally silent; she
had no doubt remembered the teacbinp

ARISToCRATIC X LEpTOMANIACs.-
About eight years ago report reached
the chief police in London that jewels
of great value had been stolen from
lady of high rank while q guest mt a
qniet northern country house. A
handsome reward was offered and not
hng afierward the property had been
recovered. Astounding as it may seem,
1t is nevertheless true, that the tempo
rary appropriation of the fine things
was millionaire peer, WHO, albeit in
no wise penurious, is singulaily simple
in his personal habits, and does not
spend one fourth of his income. The
matter was all husled up, and very
few persons outside Of the family knew
who the thief, if we can so call him,
leally was. This was o genuine case
OF klePtomania, and proves beyond a
doubt that it really exists. An English
earl Of high distinction had this weak
ness from boy-hood, and it involved
his leaving Eaton. When, in alter
years, he entered the catiuet, it wa;.
tumored that Lord - had entirel,
conquered the propensity, "excep

Possibly similar tendency may per
haps explain an untoward inciden,
which occurred last season at New
port, and has lately been recalled by a
concatenation of curious circumstances
There is doubtless great deal of sham

that sometimes it is perfectly genuine

THE IRISE LAND PLAGUE.
THE GREAT LANDLORDS AND THEIR

1t is generally understood that mnc
of the ever recnrrent distress in lrelan'

rolls. is not so we'll known in thi
country, and without this knowleds'
it will not be possible to ascertain thu
tax which the people of Ireland art
compelled to pay for the support of

whom are absentees. The Marquis %
Downshire, for instance, owns l00,92t
acres, upon which ne realizes an annu'

searching catnar-
tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely With
stand or eyade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inAamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
oil climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
