Tbe electoral college of tbe United States consists of electors from each Slate,‘chosen by the people, in number equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives. The electors meet in their respective 8tates and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, After voting, they make a list of tbe per sons voted for and the number of votes cast for each, sign sod certify this list, and send it, sealed, to the President of tbe Senate at Washington. Ttia indi vidual must open all of these certificates, and announce their contents in’the pres ence of both Houses of Congress. Tbe person having the greatest nnmber of votes is then declared President, if suoh nnmber be a majority of all the electors appointed. Congress determines the time of choosing electors, also the day on which they shall oast their votas. This day mast be tbe same thronghont the whole United States. After the nomination of Gen. Colquitt for Governor, the excitement cooled down aud the convention proceeded to select Presidential electors, which re sulted as follows : STATS AT LARGE: A. R. Lawton, J. W.

Louis,.

Charles J. Jenkins and many others: In Jane I received a communication from yon, informing me that you ardent ly “desired to see a man borne into the office of Governor of Georgia, by the spontaneous, unsolicited movement of toe people of Georgia,” and that you were “firmly persuaded that the sentiment and opinions therein expressed were shared by the great mass of the people of Geor- itertaining these feelings and opinions, you asked me to “allow an au thoritative statement,” that I would ac cept the nomination of the Democratic Convention of the State for the office of Governor.” On the 15th of June, I re plied to that communication, that if, contrary to my expectations, I should be called npon by the people to serve them in the Executive capacity, or (to use your own language) if I should be “borne into the office of Governor by the spon taneous, unsolicited movement of the peo ple of Georgia,” I should act, not under the impulse of personal interest or ambi tion for that office, bat solely under that sense of duty which should govern every patriotic citizen. I said also that I did 'not desire the nomination,” and that “I would not consent to be placed in the at titude of a candidate” for it. I said also that I had “no aspiration” for the office and that! should be “truly gratified if the people should choose any other whom they might feel safe in imposing its high duties.” You published that correspondence, as I understood it, not to announce me as a candidate for the nomination, but to sub mit the matter to the people of Georgia, in order to invite their consideration and decision of the question, whether or not, without solicitation on my part, they de sired my service as Governor for the en suing Executive term. I said I would serve them in that contingency only. I said what I meant and what I meant I said. Now, so far as the action of county meetings for the appointment of dele gates is evincive of their will, the do not desire my services in the J tive capacity. This is what I expected and X am “truly gratified.” The popu lar decision having been thus made, I respectfully submit, that it remits me to the attitude in which I stood prior to the correspondence—that of entire discon nection from the subject matter, not de siring the nomination nor aspiring to the office, hot refusing to be placed in any position which, by implication, might be so construed. It seems that the publication of that correspondence was considered by many to be an announcement of my candidacy for the nomination. Hence, it was the occasion of some acerbity on the part of A portion of the political press and of sharp contest in several of the county meetings for the appointment of dele gates. This I deeply regret. It result ed, I suppose, from a misconception of the object of the correspondence. As I would not “consent to be placed in the attitude of a candidate for the nomina tion,” you certainly did not intend, by its publication, to put mn iu that at titude ; and in the face of snch a declara tion on my part, it is difficult to conceive how such a misapprehension should have obtained. It may be that the eagerness for office is so intense and almost univer sal that no man can have credit fot sin cerity when he says he does not want and will not be a candidate for a nomina tion. It affords me pleasure,- however, say that that those acerbities and local conflicts leave no sting in my bosom.— The innocent occasion for them being removed, I sincerely trust that the feeling of political fraternity, so far as it may have been thereby disturbed, may be rant. I sha ll be gratified if you should bo nominated.” 1 thus wrote to him prior to the receipt of your communica tion to me, but anticipating it, because a friend had advised mo of its preparation and distribution for signatures.* I never uttered anything in my life with more sincerity. General Colquitt, therefore, whatever may have been tbe opinion of many of his friends could not think I was actuated by any intention to injure him. I am full on this point, bccanse great in- ustice has been done to my motives. I lave not the power to exalt mortals to the skies, but I trust I have none of that mean spirit that would “dreg angles down.” This idea of special antagonism to General Colquitt has, I suppose, been strengthened by the fact that I have de clined to withdrew my name fiom the arena. | have been appealed to privately by friends of Gen. Colquitt, and publicly by a portion of the press in bis interest, to do so. I have net heeded these ap peals, first, because I was not in the arena as a candidate, and, secondly, you having submitted the question' to the people, I did not think it waa my right, nor respect ful to you or the people to anticipate their action, and prevent a full expression of their will, by withdrawing the subject from them whilst it was under their con sideration. I thought I knew what their decision would be, but you had declared that you were ‘-firmly persuaded” that your (( sentiments and opinions were shared by the great mass of yonr fellow- citizens.” In deference to that declara tion, I did not think proper to say a word until the .will of the people should have been ascertained. That has now been done so far, at least, as to inform mo that the people do not “spontaneously” call tExecdtivc Chair. I POSITIVELY AT COST!

Board recommends the attention to the bed condition of the privies at the French and the others adj The following resolutions were adopted by the Board: In pnnnanco of its duties, the Board of Health woald call thefattention’of the City Coun cil to the privy pits need, especially on lots ad joining tbe pnblie square. No fact is better es tablished than that these sinks, in time, taint the water of neighboring wells and render it unpalatable and unfit for culinary uses, and ii the caneo of epidemics, especially of diarrhoea, dysentarv. and typhoid fever, and that, too, of severe and fatal types. The Bosrl would therefore urge upon the city authorities the necessity* at as eeriy a day as practicable, to have all each pits disinfected and filled and hereafter forbid their use* and in lieu, therefore, suggest tbe adoption of the “Earth Closet or Pall System," either one of which, when properly arranged,! free from danger and without offense. Tbe coat of either one of these plans is not a consideration where the health and life of tbe community are involved: it is tree, however, that it will be small and need not deter the authorities from moving in tbe matter. You doubtless saw the charge in a por tion of ;he public press, that the move ment inaugurated by you was designed especially to defeat the Domination of General Colquitt, who was regarded as the most popular aspirant for it. Your characters and the absence of any con ceivable motive for such a purpose re lieve you from the necessity of denying and much more from the necessity of vindicating yourselyes from snch an im- for my service in the may now, therefore, with propriety, re quest that my : name be entirely droppeu from all connection with the rabjeot of he nomination by the Convention. It cannot bo determined with any ac curacy, without a ballot, how far any ono is the decided favorite, but I am safe in concluding that I am not. There fore, if it were possible for me to receive the nomination aa the result of a contest before the Convention, I would not so- cept it. Or failing to be nominated in such a contest, 1 would not consent to any such use of my name as would or might, under the operation of the “two- thirds” rale, defeat the favorite bf a clear majority of the Convention. I believe in the wisdom of the “two-thirds” rule, when discreetly enforced. It should nev er be used to prevent the will of the majority from prevailing, unless there be good reason for it. If any one has a clear and fair majority of the Convention in his favor, against whom no unfitness of character, unsoundness of principle or mental incapacity can be truthfully urged, the Convention should concentrate npon and nominate him. He is entitled to it. Perhaps these remarks, though ger- main, may not seem to be strictly neces sary. Bnt I make them as due to myself. It has been charged that my object was to defeat Gen. Colquitt under tho opera tion of the “two-tnirda” rule. I scon the. imputation. I am pot “a dog in'tUc manger/' So far from using the “two- thirds” rale for any such ignoblo purpose, I repeat, I would not enter into a scram* ble for the nomination, nor would I ac cept it, if I desired it, unless it should be tendered in response to the unsolicited spontaneous wish of the people of Geor gia. I meant this by my letter of the 15th June, and I adhere to that position. I have no definite idea of the number of delegates to the Convention, who, on a ballot, would favor my nomination. They are more, however, than I had any reason to oxpect in the face of my letter of the 15th June. For that was almost invitation to the people not to call up- me to serve them as Governor. It is a matter of surprise that any county should have appointed delegates favoring my nomination. I regard it as a very high compliment that so many have done so, which I fully appreciate. And 1 must add that the people at large by per mitting me to remain where I am have given another evidence of their great kindness to their unworthy servant. I have said more, gentlemen, than is necessary, as between you and myself. Bnt knowing that this communication will go to the public, I have taken the liberty to say some things which I wish the public to know, that they may un derstand and rightly appreciate my title position.

This I could not do and I should have answered your request just as I did if neither General Colquitt nor any other aspirant had been iiFtbe arena seeking the nomination.
