THE ELECTORAL PROSPECT.
[Brooklyn Eagle, Ind. Rep.J
Several Presidents have secured a
majority’ of the electors without secur
ing an absolute majority of the popular
vote. No President, however, ever se
cured a majority of the electors and a
minority of the popular vote, as it was
cast for and divided between the can
didates. There are some newspapers
which very ignorantly or knavishly are
trying to suggest that such has been
the case. In every instance every
President who has been elected by the
college of electors has received more
votes than were cast for any other can
didate who was running. Sometimes
he has had a total majority; at other
times ho has had a plurality; in all
instances it has been a majority or a
plurality, and never but once has any
candidate who has received a plurality
failed to receive a majority in the elec
toral college, while such a thing as
receiving a total majority on the popu
lar vote and not a majority in the elec
toral college was never heard of. The
instance to which we refer when a can
didate with a plurality did not receive
an electoral majority over all was the
election of 1824.
Even then, the electoral college chose
nobody, and the House of Bepresenta
tives, by States, elected John Quincy
Adams. We give the popular and elec
toral votes for President below ever
since electors have been chosen by the
people, and it will be seen that in every
case the man to whom the people gave
the largest number of votes got the
largest number in the electoral college
and got the election every time that
college ever chose anybody at all.

*No choice by electors. Adams elected by the
House.
tElectoral vote ascertained, but tinio of meeting of
electoral college not arrived.
We have been at some pains to pre
pare this table, which embraces all the
elections for President ever conducted
by the people. Washington, John
Adams, Jefferson aod Madison were
chosen by electors, who were them
selves chosen by the State Legisla
tures, and not by the popular vote. It
will be seen that in every choice ever
made by the electoral college, the
candidate who preponderated in the
popular vote was made President.—
Sometimes this preponderance was a
plurality, not a majority of the popular
vote.
Such a thing as a man without at
least a plurality on the popular vote
being made President by the electoral
college was never heard of. Such a
thing as a man with a great majority
on the popular vote not having a ma
jority in the electoral college was
never even dreamed of. Such a thing
as there being virtually only two can
didates—as now, for Cooper was really
no candidate—and the one with the
great majority in the popular vote
against him, getting a majority in the
electoral college for him was never
conceived of.
The facts in the table supply many
curious minor relations between the
electoral and the popular vote, but
they everywhere show that in decisive
respects the Presidents have all led in
the popular poll before they led in the
electoral college. The present assump
tion of just one electoral majority for
Mr. Hayes, contradicts every fact and
tendency in the Presidential contests
heretofore. Those facts and tenden
cies, too, as exhibited in the tables,
render entirely nugatory every claim
that we have ever before electoraliy
chosen a President who did not lead
in the popular vote. They show, like
wise, that those who are prating exclu
sively about the “minority Presidents
in the past,” are really talking about
the plurality of Presidents, and are
either ignorant or vicious in seeking
to find parallels to the present Hayes-
Wheeler assumption when none any
where exist in our history, and in giv
ing a misnomer for former instances in
order to forge or force a sham resem
blance between them and an assump
tion entirely novel to our annals.
The Americans never nad a minority
President in the sense in which it is
sought to make Mr. Hayes executive.
The Americans never before failed to
make the President a man to whom
they have given a majority, as they
have to Mr. Tilden, and they will not
fail to do so this time. The electoral
system, it will be seen, has from the
first vindicated the popular choice, as
between two or a plurality of candi
dates. It will do so this time, and the
facts of the past are almost as signifi
cant as those of the present in show
ing that it should, can and will be
made to do so.
READ AND REELECT.
The young mechanic of the present
day should be an earnest reader.
Whether learning a trade, operating a
machine, or drafting designs for the
builder, he should be a lover of useful
books. They will make him a broader
and happier man, giving him continu
ally fresh themes for thought and
pleasing topics for meditation. Books
are to the mind what food is to the
body. They fill and strengthen it.
They add vim, force and vitality to its
evey function. They furish that life
blood which is the mainspring of all
action, and benefit their admirer in
manifold ways. Do not, then, neglect
so rich a boon. But 'read much and
read carefully.
We cannot all be rich, or great, or
powerful; but we can all build for our
selves inviting palaces of wisdom,
where the noblest and best of every age
may come through the silent but im
mortal agency of books, to store our
minds with the rarest samples of their
genius. These choice legacies, too, will
stand by us, and remind us when
trades, fortunes and friends fail, to
comfort and satisfy our drooping spir
its. Who then would think of living
w ithout the associations of interesting
books ? No young man should.
The world is full of reading matter,
and it is utterly impossible to read all;
still every apprentice and tradesman
can find leisure enough to acquaint
himself with so much as is necessary
to perfect him as a mechanic, broaden
him out as a citizen. Bead, then, by
all means. Bead slowly; read carefully;
read t with reflection; and recflect with
reading.—N. J. Mechanic.

One Hundred Years Ago!
The Gainesville Eagle
FCR THE
CENTENNIAL YEAR!
In offering the Eagle to the public in tho beginning
of the most important in the hundred years of the
Nation's existence, it it proper to return our profound
acknowledgment to its patrons for the confidence and
good will which have attended it from its first incep
tion to the present year. It is now better prepared
than ever to work in the interests of the people of
Georgia, and to record the important events of tho
day as thoy transpire, in all parts of the country.
The newspapers of this country are fast superseding
the public orators and politicians in shaping the af
fairs of the government, because they reach thousands
of our stalwart population—men, women and chil
dren—who have become disgusted with the harangue
of designing men, who do not keep, on an averag,one
in fifty of their promises.
The year 1876 will be filled with important events
and no family who cares to keep posted can afford to
be without at least one newspaper.
We submit the following points:
1. Congress meets early in January, and there is no
doubt o the fact that it will be tho most important ses
sion since the foundation of the Republic.
2. The Georgia Legislature meets on tho 12th day
of January, and the question of a Constitutional Con
vention, the dog law, stock law, tj|ie State's indorse
ment on railroad bonds, the complications,
etc., etc., are matters about whiclffhe people want to
keep posted.
3. The Presidential compaign on which we are just
now entering will be the most important one in the
history of our country.
4. On the 10th of May the great Centennial oelebr*-
bration opens in Philadelphia, and will be the grandest
exhibition ever witnessed in any country.
6. A Governor of Georgia, all of the House of Rep
resentatives, and half of the Senate, are to be chosen
this fall; and with the number of candidates for Gu
bernatorial honors, both Democratic and Republican,
it iB certain that we are going to have lively times.
6. Congressmen are to be elected in Georgia again
this fall.
7, County officers, from Ordinary to Coroner, we
also to be chosen in this State.
The above is the bill of fare, and the Eagle prom
ises that its readers shall have the news in its freshest
form, with editorial and epistolary sauce, suitable to
each dish served up. And while we propose to keep
fully up with the news, we shall also retain our mis
cellaneous selections and agricultural and household
departments on the outside of our paper.
Politically,
The Eagle will continue to act with the Democratic
party; but while it does so, it will contend and battle
for the land-marks erected by Jefferson, and will ex
pose corruptions, and fight rings and cliques, let them
be found wherever they may.
To Our Old Patrons,
we would say, help us extend oue circulation I
Let each subscriber interest him or herself in sending
us anew one, and it will enable us to furnish a paper
that shall inorease in interest each week.
Cash in Advance.
The price at which we furnish eur paper just about
covers the cost of the paper, and the actual labor done
on it; we are, therefore, compelled to establish the
rule that we will receive no new subscriptions unless ac
companied by the money.
Old Subscribers.
Of these, we have many who are prompt—thoy pay
on sight; and with them we never have trouble. But
then we have others who are slow to pay, and this
class we earnestly urge to come forward and settle,
and aid us in extending our circulation.
Send all moneys by P. O. Order or Registered Let
ter, at our risk. J. E. RED WIN E,

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN of 1876, which in
cludes National, State and county elections, and
which will undobtedly bo the most active and hotly
contested of any since the memorable canvass of 1860,
is now fairly opened. The National Democratic party
will this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless
successful struggle for the maintenance and suprem
acy of those principles which are vital to the prosper
ity of the Republic and eseential to the well-being of
the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the people in
Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments.
In Florida the campaign promises to bo unusually
vigorous, and there is a probability that for the first
time since the war the people of that Radical-ridden
Stato will elect a Democratic State government. In
these campaigns the people of the South are deeply
interested; and every intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his country and his section at heart, should
acquaint himself with every detail of the great work
of redemption and reform t* at is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist in
circulating the Savannah Morning News, an
independant Democratic newspaper, of pronounced
opinions and fearless in their expression; a paper
that is recognized everywhere as the best daily in the
South. Its editorial department is vigorous, thought
ful, and consistent, while its news and local depart
ments are marvels of industry and completeness. Its
department of Georgia and Florida affairs is not con
fined to a mere barren summary of events transpiring
in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once
apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will be
devoted to furnishing the readers of
THE MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from ail parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tele
grams, and by means of special correspondence; and
through these agencies the paper will be the earliest
chronicler of every noteworthy incident of the politi
cal campaign of 1876.
