THE EAGLE. Published Ev.ry Friday Morning. 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.

Hayes, Rep 3,690,000 166 Peter Cooper, Ind 14,000 None *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. K. L.

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.

RICH, may 28,Davis Street, Gainesville, Ga. SAVANNAH, GA. | HFI 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.
