GporgiaG electoral vote has bec- m” theubjoc <if no little interest withift the livst forty-f'iirht hrurs. It is still a qiR Stion \vh< thef or not it will he counted, f ip Die best opinions seem to be that .the irregularity caused by the error iu the. suite code will not be i a fatal eisur It tiiat there is a receiit precedent w’hich gives si remi t h te this belief. In 1868 Qfwcgin chose as her electors John B. Gordon, John T. Clarke, J. O. Nich fliis, Charles T. Goode, Ii J. Moses, •J. B. Cummihgs, H, P. Bell and J. D. MaddeU. These electors were called together by Governor Bullock in accordance with the code of Geor gia, which i-i as follows on the atib Fct: Section 1812. On the twentieth day after sain election shall have taken place it i* the dutj' (tf the governor to consolidate tte several returns and immediately notify those persons of • heir election who have received a vote anaouotir.g t<> a majority, aud to require t Heir- *oe?da*c*e a*, theca pi fcoi off tht first M.ireddy iD December thereafter t cast, the vote of the state on the V i cF.esday fdl winga r 12 ro.

Too pr-sent sf-ction in the code, u id* r vvliich Gh>vtr:.or C<*iquitt aid all oilier g .vernors of Georgia fur the pa>t fifteen years have acted was passed in 1868 io conform to th* ?ol lowing staiute .f the Confederate Slates which says: “The congress may determine the tim of chfH the electors and the day on which they shall give iheii votes, which day shall be the same throughout the Confederate States” Thus too act was passed, aud by carelessness, it has never been amended. Although there is now a bill belore the legislature to make the state law in perfect accord with the United-States statute on the sub ject *>f the * lecfdral vote. All tne governors since 1863 have acted on this authority and Governor Colquitt followed a long line of precedent. Lite following is the language of the national Uw on the subject: The United Srates constitution in third paragraph, firnt section, second article sn.vs: The congress may determine the time of choosing tho electors and the day tm which they shall give their vo es w ich day shall he the same throughout tiie United States. 2 Ent-h state shall appoint in such manner ns the legislature thereof may direct a number of electors equal to the whole number of senators arid and r prt sen oi lives which the stale i may be * milled to in the congress.

The historical record of the elec toral votes frnm the foundation of the government forms an interesting siudy. For tho fir>t. term, thie* spates did not vote—N**w York. North Carolina aud JRh< de I land, which had not yet ad**pte*i the con stitution. The growth in the num ber of voting states from ten to thirty-eight has been accompanied boa growth io the number of elet.- • oral votes ;r in sixty-ni ie to three hundred and sixty-nine. As is well known, from 1789 to 1804 the electors voted for president ana vice president on the same bsifot, Ihe person receiving the highest vote being announced as president, and ‘he one highest vice president. In 1789 the total number of voles was 69, ad of which were cast for George A ashingion. They were disribuHo in his way: Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, lo each; 0* >m *oficut arid Sf'Utii Cao.lina, 7 each; Maryland and N w Jersey, 6 . acb; Georgia and New ii.vmpshire, sf: cm. Delaware, 3. J'.'.hn Adams, for the second p*ace, had 34 votes; rht rest were 'iivuied among ten •candldatf s. Adams thus became vGe president. Iu 1792 the w hole number of elec tors iir.is 182. and all vctoc! for Wash ington.

Adams therefore became president and J Person vice preside nt. In 1798 occurred fto m me ruble ie vote. The total mi<nher of electors was again 138 Jefferson and Burr e*ch received 73 vote : Adams had 65, and Pi cKoey 64; J had 1. It was qmte evident that the parlies had now consolidated upon regular nominees for president and vice president, and that the constitutional provision for ehetion was such as to make the winning party hi ways j ut its own two candidates in tivory U r the higher place. On appealing o the emigres-ional vote, as proVioed for Ly’’ the constitution, Jefferson, n thirty-six h ballot in the house of reyr* sentatives, became president, and Burr became vice president. Pheti me twelfth ainendment to the constitution whs made, guarding against such predict*meuts thonce f rth. For twenty-fiur years thereafter there wits little in the elec* ral voting out of the common. In 1804 Jefferson and Clint n were elecied and vice president by 162 voles each against 14 each for C C. Pinckney and Rnfu" King. Ohio bad now en tered the union. In 1808 the voG was.

John C Cart boon had revived 182 eUctotal v;r*-s —Virginia, Old**, O* tmecticut, rind casting all : eir votes against him, and a few th<r votes from divided states all going to other eandWales; but he had been elected vice president by a large m.-j rity. Ie 1828 the vote was J.wkson. 178; aud Calhoun, 171; against 83 each f*>r Adams and Rush, and 7 for Smith a vice president. In 1832, if wa 219 f r Jackin and 189 fin* Van agai /st 49 for Clay and Jhu Ber gesht, while Pennsylvania cast her 30 for vice president on William Wilkins. Th and year 8 uth tfrrolb a gave her 11 votes to Ft yd f Vir gi. in and Lee of Massachusetts,whin V-rmout gave her 7 to Willbm Wiit and Am' EUmaker. Th*- anti-Mason party w as then active. In 1830 there was another unusual occurr* tice. Arkansas or and Michg*n Lad come in. The tnta number of electors w t hs now 294, with 148 e ninjority. For president, Van Buren had 170, Hgitinsf 73 f*r Harri-on, 26 for Hugh L W hite, 14 f r Webster, and 11 for W P. Mm gum; but R M.

A. CUIUtIHGHAM. A FATHER WHO MELTED. The other evening a citizen of Pe* j troit h*eknned vo his twelve year old Ison to follow him to the woodshed, | and when they had arrived there he ; began : “Now, young man, you have been fighting again ! Ilow uuany tiuuys have I told you it is disgraceful to fight?” “Oh, father, this wasn’t about mar' hie* or anything of the kind,” re' plied tin.* boy “I can’t help it. Asa Christian man it is my duty to bring up my children to fear the Lord* A'ake off your coat.” “But, father, the boy I was fight' ing with called me names.” “Can’t help it. Culling names don’t hurt anyone. Off with that coat.” “He said I was the son of a wire' puller.” “What! what’s that?” “And he said you was an office' hunter! ” “What! what loafer dared make that assertion! ” “It made me awful mad, but I didn’t B*y anything. Then he called you a hirelint.” “Called me a hireling! Why, I’d like to get my hands on him ! ” puff' ed the old gent. “Yes, and he said you was a polit ical lickspittle!” “Land o’gracious! but wouldn’t I like to have the training of that boy for ab< ut five minutes!” wheezed the od man as* lie hopped around. “I put up with that,” continued the boy, “and then he said you laid your pipes for office and got left by a large m j iriiy. I couldn’t stand that, father, and <o I sailed over the ff-nee and licked him bald-headed in !f>B*’u two minutes. Thrash me if yj>u mu-t, father, hut I couldn’t stand it to hear you abused by one of the malignant opposition!” “My son,” said th • father, as h'p felt for half a dollar with one hand and wiped his eyes with the other, “you may go out and buy yon two pounds of candy. The Bible says it IS VV i 'llg 10 og m, uu! t? 10 "Oltllc ili -*Bt make allowance for political cam paigns and the vile slanders of the other party. I only brought you out h< re to ;alk o you, and now you can put on your coat and run along.” ——- TALMAGE ON CHILDREN. Tlaore is no chance in this world for child that has never learned to mind. Such people become the both eration of the church of God and the pest of the world. I hear a great deal about black men’s rights, and Chinamen’s rights, and Indiana’ rights, and women’s rightn. Would G->d that somebody would rise to plead for children’s The high chair in which the in' fauts sits is the throne, and the rattle is ihe sceptre, and the other children make up the parliament, where fa ther and mother have no vote? Who are these young men that swagger through the streets with their thumbs in their vests, talking about their father as “tbe old man,” “the governor,” “the ’squire,” “the old chap,” or their mother as “the old woman?” They are those who in childhood newr leaned to redact authority. “WE NEVER ADVERTISE.” In a recent issue of the New York Shipping List h tb* following on he following on the merchants who nev er ad vertise; “There ia a class of bus* iness men, or rather men in bus! e-a —for there is a distinction wh a dif ference —who persistency refu-o .0 advertise in a paper, Wi-e su h people are : ppo tChed for an a v**r tisement, which may return its c at ten or a hundred fold, tiny h*ve a stereotyped reply, ‘We n Ter adve t.-e; ur business is large enough, and we don’t care about ex* ending it.
