THE POPULAR VoTE.-The total vote OF
the L. s., cast at the late Presidential elec'
ton, was l0,40l, 1853. The Republican pa
pers are publishing table of this vote, oy
which they figure out majority OF 5''42
in favor of Blaine over Cleveland To do
this however, they deduct from Cleve'
lands vote the vote cast for 'the mixed
Cleveland and Butler tickets in Michigan
&C, and credit the vote TO Butler, while
no such deduction is made from BlaineS
vote in Missouri, West Virginia and other
states where there was fusion on Blaine
and Butler electoral tickets. Figuring the
vote as il was actually cast, without at
the obvious impossibility of sep.
aratng the Butler from the votes for Cleye.
land or Blaine votes in the fusion states,
and the exact majority for Cleveland over
Blaine on the popular vote is 53,2SO.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

There is really a gleam of hope from
prominent industrial centers at the east OF
brighter times ahead. The Pttsburg iron
manufacturers report orders for their prod
ucts on the increase, and prices improving
Two rolling mills, which had suspended
operations for month or two, will resume
on Monday. A flint glass factory in the
same city, which had decided on reduc-
tion of wages has Cancelled the order. The
Edgar Thompson iron works, which EN-,
ploy five thousand men, will resume with
the lst of January. Iron is fair index of
general business, being in such general
use So that should the prospects of this
commodity continue to improve we may
look for a general revival of business,

The great sensation just now in New
Orleans is the partly successful attempt,
last Sunday, of two sisters to kill two young
men, their betrayers, by shooting them on
the street John Logan, engaged in the
foundry business and Joseph Devonshire,
a deputy L. s. Marshal two well-todo
young men, had made the acquaintance Of
Josephine and Georgiana Conway, two
beautiful young ladies, sisters, of respect
able family and moving in good society.
Having by promises of marriage succeeded
in running the sisters, and then casting
them off, the latter armed themselves with
bulldog pistols, and on Sunday meeting
the young men on the street opened fire on
them. One of them-Logan-was fatally
shot, but the other escaped with slight
wounds The girls are in the lookup but
will doubtless escape on the plea of "emo-
tional insanity"

THE LEMAN-BRAND CASE.

The Leman. Brand case In Cook county
involving the senator for the sixth district
was terminated for the present on Monday
by the heroic action Of Gov. Hamilton in
deciding that the majority shown for Brand
on the face of the returns was fraudulent
and issuing the certificate of election to
I.eman The Governor justifies his action
by written argument nearly as long as the
Presidents message, but it is needless to
say that whatever justification he Is able to
present for his action, he utterly fails to
show by what authority a purely minister.
ial officer, charged with the simple duty of
footing up the returns regularly laid before
him and issuing certificates of election to
the persons appearing to be elected on
their face, can go behind the face OF those
returns, and decide contested election
case over which the constitution gives the
body TO which the contestants claim to
have been elected in this case the state
Senate) the exclusive jurisdiction. II is
certain that not only the attorney general,
but other eminent lawyers of both parties
in Springfield, advised the Governor that
he had no such authority. The reason for
the law is that II the Governor has the
power to Judge and determine, in advance
of the organization of the chambers, what
persons shall be admitted to seats, 1t is
plain that the chambers may be composed
according to the wish of governor who is
not afraid to take the bull by the horns"
1t Is obvious, then, that the power which
Governor Hamilton has asserted and exer-
cised strikes fatal blow at the very foun.
dation of popular legislative government.
The action Of Governor Hamilton in the
case however, will probably escape much
of the censure 1t deserves from the fact,
now pretty generally admitted, though yet
by no means demonstrably proved, that the
majority in favor of Brand on the face of
the returns was really the result of fraud
in the I'd precinct of the 18th ward. The
strongest presumption in favor of the fraud
is the fact, that from the tickets found in
the ballot box it appears that Lemans own
father and brotherin.law had voted against
him though both had worked for him at
the polls. Then 1t is also proved that certain
parties procured to be engraved and printed
number of tickets which were an exact
fac simile of the Republican ticket used
on election day, and the procuring of such
tickets in clandestine way is inferred to
have no honest purpose, though In what
way they were used and how they could
have gotten into the ballot box is as great a
mystery as ever. However, Brand himself
admits that appearances are so greatly
against the honesty of the majority in his
favor that he makes no objection to the
Governors issue of the certificate to Leman,
though he will insist on the matter being
sifted to the bottom by the Senate, in
which he will contest Leman's right To hold
the seat.
