Brutal British.

Boston, Auo. 25.-One of tho sailors
on board the flag ship Lancaster, OF the
Mediterranean squadron, which figured
at Alexandria, writes to hi. father IN this
city on the Nicholson question. We had
quite e time in Alexandria looking at
the bombardment, and i. was quite cx-
citing while it lasted. 1t was terrible to
see the big iron -clads pouring shot and
shell into those fcrts, especially the IL
flexible, with her eighty ton guns. l was
hoping and praying to see a few of the
English men of-war sunk, not that |
nave any love for the Egyptians or Arabs,
but that | have less still for John Bull.
In the beginning of the bombardlhent we
stayed within range of the shots from ;he
forts until a few Of them came pretty
close to US, in fact within a few feet, 30
the old admiral commenced to get a lit
tie shaky and thought it better TO move.
We weighed anchor and stood out to sea
a little further. where we had a full view
of the bombardment. call it nothing
hut one of the many foul and bloody
deeds that John Bull is SO well accu.

will pay him back fol what be he- done,

and crew cheering the different ships as
we went by them. 1t was ridiculous to
see and hear them cheering the strong
against the weak. and | nope the press
and the people of the United States will
criticize them freely for it. The second
day we went into the harbor and the
6rst thing was to send a landing party
ashore, composed of our marine guard
and fifty blue jackets, to protect our
consul and his secretary and preserve
order in the city, but | call it nothing
less than helping the English in a s!y
way, because Arab Beg and his army
were only a few miles out Of the city,
and should he happen to come in, we
would have to fight or be slaughtered
like dogs IN the street. 1t was ii terrible
and sickening sight to see all the dead
bodies laying around the streets, piled
on top of one another, and also floating
round the harbOr.
Young Ze5 Vance wrote home in the
same strain.

A TERRIBLE SCENE. London. Aug.
3l.-A correspondent says: Il went over
the battle-ground to-day (W ednesday).
The scene was horrible beyond descrip-
ton. The bodies of Egyptian soldiers
were hacked and slashed almost out OF
semblance to humanity by the long broad
swords of the Guards. One young officer
still held an unlighted cigarette in his
stiffened finger. Two of our guardsmen
lie dead in a tent at Kassassin, mutilated
IN such a manner as will bring e~verlas :
ing intamy upon the Egyptian army.
The work done by the Household Troops
demonstrated once for all the fearful pow:
err of these ponderous horsemen against
undisciplined foot soldiers, or even good
troops, when taken by surprise. The
Guards burst like an avalanche on the
tiniid musketeers, some of whom fired
after the troopers, who returned and
sabered them. Our men were much in
furiated by ~harassing attacks, made upon
them during the day."

THE ELECTORAL COUNT BILL.

The electoral count bill passed the United
States Senate Thursday last by a viva voce
vote in practically the form in which it was
introduced By Senator Edmunds. 1t pros
vides that the presidential electors of each
State shall meet and give their votes on the
second Monday in January next following
their appointment at such places as the Leg
i%slatures of the States may direct /; that each
State, pursuant to its laws existing on the
day fixed for the appointment of the electors,
may determine prior to the meeting of the
electors any controversy concerning the APP
pointment of all or any of them ; that such
determination shall be conclusive evidence of
their lawful title and shall govern in the
count by Congress ; that no electoral vote or
votes from any State from which only one re-
turn has been received shall be rejected ex>
cept by the affirmative votes of the two
houses; hat if more than enc return is re-
csiyed from a State, thu votes of those elee>
tors who have been appointed by the lawful
tribunal of the State shall be counted, and in
the event of a question as to which of two or
Iva VA 49, O. AlIDuudI5 Is the lawful
tribunal, the votes of the electors appointed
by shat tribunal which the tive houses, set
ing separately, shall decide to be the author
lied one shall be counted that in ease of an
undetermined contest between W or more
sets of electors of a State, those votes shall
be counted whish the two houses, acting
separately, shall decide to be the lawful elee>
tOral votes. The bill also provides that if
the counting of the votes shall not have been
completed before the fifth calendar day next
after the first joint meeting of the two houses,
no recess shall be afterward taken by either
house until the counting is finished. The
bill, it will be seen, seems to do all that is
practicable to do to secure to all the States
the right to determine each for itself any dis
pute as to its vote.
