The Meeting OF the Electors.

OLYMPIA. Nov. 16.-fSpeciai. There is
q conflict between the laws of the United
States and the laws of Washington in re-
gard to the date of the converting Of the
electoral college. The last legislature. fol-
lowing the act of congress of 1892, fixed the
first Wednesday Of December next after
the day of election as the day Of meeting.
The law of 1892 was, however, changed by
an act of congress, approved February 8,
1887. and the time Of meeting by that act
is the second Monday in January next fol.
lowing the election. Congress has power,
under the fourth section of article of the
constitution of the United States, to deter
mine the day on which the electoral col
leges in tine several states of the Union
shall meet. and, therefore, the state law,
being in contravention Of the existing act
of congress, is unconstitutional. The
Washington electors will accordingly meet
in this city on January 8. 1885.

narratives have many little seeming dis
crepancies as to dates. places, names and
figures. The line of the patriarchs is yet
to be traced. amid conflicting chronologies,
with historical accuracy. Persons and

ize; as when il is stated in the book OF
the Kings that Ahaziah was 40 years
in the Chronicles that he was %
years old. The Evangelists Matthew,
Mark and Luke tell the story of the
crucifixion of Christ with differing motives
and details, which have not vet been fully
harmonZed. Such things are simply un.
avoidable in all historical composition.
At the present date of antiquarian re-

errors of translation. or errors of interpre-

Poxr TOWNSEND, Nov. 16.-fSpecial.l-
The contest for the Office of collector OF
customs for the Puget sound district, un-
der Cleyeiand's administration, is becom-
ing very spirited. j. C. Saunders, who
came to Port Townsend four years ago to
Fill the position Of deputy collector under
Acting Collector Of Customs Leslie Gull
Iorn, appears to have the inside track. Mr..
Saunders Is reported to have been Mr..
Cieveiand's private stenographer during
his presidential term. III. L. Tibbais, jr.,
late mayor OF Port Townsend. is another
applicant. Today's mail from up Sound
revealed the fact that there were several
other contestants. Franklin K. Lane,
editor Of the Tacoma Neus; III. J. SniveIy,
the defeated candidate for governor, and
Mr.. Talbot, of Seattle, are all after the
billet.
Naturally on account Of Mr.. Saunders
intimacy with the prophet Of Gray Gables,
the popular opinion is that he can have
the position ii he wants it. He does want
it. Tibbals relies on the backing Of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, which
Is controlled by Goodall, Perkins 81 Co. 1t
Is said that some influence from this cor
poration can be brought to bear on Sena-
tors FELTON, and Stanford, and probably
Stewart, of Nevada, might be induced to
aid Tibbals.
George G. Mcnamara, who was post
master in this city during Mr.. Cieveland's
last administration, is making feint to
be appointed postmaster, but he hopes to
effect combination whereby he can sue
coed w. r. Tiliotsen. of Tacoma, as con-
sui general at Kanagawa, Japan, which
Office pays salary OF over 5000 per an
mum.
Many local Democrats are preparing to
indorse A. p. Coleman, of this city, as

canvass for the appointment. owing TO his
normal antipathy to political honors.
For the office of United States shipping
commissioner, now held by Henry Bash,
who was appointed by President Arthur
and held through Cleveland's term of
Office, there are four or five candidates.
Capt. c. III. Sawyer. DIR. Lee Baker. Louis
Rothschild and two or three others are in
the race.
Petitions are already being circulated in
behalf of applicants for the postmaster
ship. Walter Brown, City Treasurer w.
II. Merrick, City Clerk J. w. Stockand,
City Councilman 6. q. Mcnamara, re-
cent candidate for city magistrate, and
four others are all after the position, which
remunerates the holder to the tune of 81, 0OO

CINCINNATI, Nov. 16-The forenoon ses-
sion OF the presbytery in the trial of Prof.
Smith for heresy was occupied by the ar
gument Of Dr.. McGebben for the prosecu-
ton. The speaker held that the acts as
alleged in the charges constituted an of.
tense against the doctrines of the church.
At the afternoon session Rev. Dr.. McKeb.
ben continued his argument in behalf OF
the committee of prosecution. He made
numerous citations from the Bible which
were not made in the committees state
ment OF charges. To this Prot. Smith OBJ
]ected as introducing matter to which his
attention was not called by the prosecu-
ton. The moderator overruIed the OBJ.
jections. Prot. Smith appealed. and the
vote resulted thirty-eight to sustain the
moderator, twenty-five against sustaining,
and eleven members declining to vote
While this could not be regarded as an in.
dication of a vote on the main issue, the
friends of Smith were quick to claim that
1t showed growth of feeling in his behalf
The presbytery voted to hold no session
Friday and Saturday.
