Democracy I'm OcOnce.

The split in the Convention, call
ed recently by County Chairman
Thompson, threatens to become
serious. The Courier has this to
say:
The clubs that withdrew will gain
larg numbers Of recruits from all
sections ofthe county, and the cam
paign will be n of uncommon in
terest, seasoned with great bitter
ness. Dr.M Mutually has been very
extreme in personal abuse, and the
party attempting to carry him will
find a heavy load. His influence
has been whitening to the religious
and moral interest of the county;
notably in the downfall of Adger
College, and it is a lamentable mis-
fortune that the politics of the coun-
ty are to be tainted with the hand
ling of this reverend gentlemen.
1t might be we'll to observe that
conspicuous among DIR. Mullally's
friends, also a member of his club,
was w III Staunton, of Seneca, an
open and avowed Republican, who
was honest enough to own it, and
who two years ago was a candidate
for State treasurer on the State

Ing such a shape as viii warrant

tended TO have been made no request for
such papers on which this suspension Is pre-
tended TO have been made was preferred.
3. That while the annexed letter of Windsor,

him: as evidenced by registered receipt attached
disclOses the fact that his suspension was to be
made on charges, rs solicited by the Villas cir

though no final action was reached, there was
q free expression OF individual sentiment upon

there is some disposition to make u cash pay

neither of which, II adopted by the House,
will likely receive the concurrence of the
Senate. But we should be truly grateful
for even this tardy progress toward deanI-
tive action. Atworst theamended measure,
II ratified by the House, would form basis
for conference between the two houses, and
would, therefore, bring within the range of

THE ELECTORAL COUNT.
Tho Senate Bill Reported Back to the
House with Material Amendments.

Thsrtp)rt Of the committee on tn, electoral
count upon the 1ioar bill was presented TO the
House yesterday. The committee has made
several important amendments TO the bill,
which arc explained In the repor. in that part
Cf section which prohibits the rejection of
the vote Of any state from which but one re.
turn has been received, except bY the a1irm.
ntive vote Of both houses" The committee has
struck out the exception. The majority of the
committee was Of opinion that where there was
but single return from a state that the two
houses should not have the power to reject the
vote OF the state.
material amendment has been male in
the latter part cf the same section relating to
two sets Of returns from one state, so as to pro.
vide that thogo votes only shall be counted
which are cast by electors whose appointment
shall have been duly certified underline seal of
the state aud the executive thereof In accord
nncQ with the laws Of the state unless the two
houses, acting separately, snail concurrently
decide such votes no. to be the lnwlIl votes Of
the legally appointed electors Of such state.
TIE committee was Of the opinion that wnen
there wns more than one return from state
and but single state government, the vote Of
the state, lawfully certified by the oxccutiCe
md TO be cast by the lawfully appointed clec.
tors. should be counted unless both houses
concur in rejecting the vote. Should this
amendment be adopted by the House aud the
bill passed, the mode of counting electoral
votes may be thus briefly stated:
Hln those states where n tribunal has been O s.
tabliShed for the determination of contests and
concerning the appointment of electors there
in, and such tribunal has decided what elect
ors were duly appointed, the determination of
the state tribunal shall be conclusive. Where
there Is but one return from the state, the vote
so returned shall be counted. But In case
there should arise question as to which of
two or more of such state authorities deter.
mining what electors have been appointed, Is
inc legal tribunal OF such state. tho votes of
the electors Of such state shall be counted
whose title ns electors, the two houses acting
separately, shall concurrently decide who Is
supported by the decision OF such state trlb.
unal rs was organized by law.
Under the amendment already referred to.
where there is but one state government and
two sets OF returns purpotting to be tho vote OF
the state, that return shall be counted which
is supported by the executives certificate. un.
less both houses, acting separately, shall dc.
eide that the vote is not the lawful vote of the
state.
