CURRENT TOPICS.
An lowa bride t event y-one years old
lias been married for the third time in the
same dress.
What Santa Claus says— “ Know all men
by these presents.’’ What the toy dealers ,
say—Now all men buy these presents.”
Brother Moody, In one of his Chicago
meetings, asked all to rise who would pro
mise not to offer strong drink to callers on
New Year’s Day. Nearly the whole con
gregation stood up.
Of all the people on the face of God’s
green earth, an American Democrat in the
role of slave to a Returning Board thief and
perjurer will appear the most
and contemptible,— .N. Y. Express.
Hayes says he’s elected, but he still holds
on to his governorship. A bird in the hand
ii worth two in a Returning Board.—
Boston Post.
Chief Justice Waite does not think that
Grant will "see that Hayes is inaugurat
ed.” W aite appears to be more of a law
yer than a partisan.—G/an'er-Journal.
Slnuods Wells will probably receive a
summons to appear at the bar of tbo House
to make an explanation. “He has not one
friend who is an honest man.” -Courier-
Journal.
Jay Gould has found an old lady whose
face is “a fac simile of that of the late Hor
ace Greeley.” Jay Gould should at
once place her in the 'lribune office, and
discharge the Vassar and Miami editors.
—N. Y. Sun.
Dr. Clarence Matthews, a spiritualist,
testifies In a San Francisco court that he
has been seeing spirits for fifteen years,
and that he has never seen one that has
seen God.
When a friend of Hewitt writes to him
now, the letter begins something like this:
“Dear Abe: I have just received your
steamed favor of the inst. Let us speak
openly,” etc., etc.
According to an exchange, Gen. Burn
side’s reticence and modesty are among
the noticeable features of the present situ
ation. The General is a man who shuns
fame and cultivat Je whiskers.
The New York and says: “This Hamp
ton and Chamber in business makes it
more expensive! je Governor of North
Carolina to spoa the Governor of South
Carolina than it used to be.”
A Now York Judge has become insane,
but Is not aware of his affliction, and goes
to his place on the bench as if his mind
were not diseased. He will shortly be sent
to the South, and during his absence will
probably contribute some letters to the
'Dines.
A Gothamite happened to fall asleep, the
other day, while reading the New York
Times. A friend nudged him. “Asleep, old
boy, are you—asleep in broad day, hey?”
“O no, no; not asleep—not asleep." re
turned the drowsy one, “it’s only a little
bulldoze.’’
The bridal outfit of Miss May, the fiance
of James Gordon Bennett, was appraised
by the New York Custom House examiners
at 36,000 francs, which is equivalent to
$7,200 gold. The outfit comprises over
forty articles of wear, chief among which
is the wedding dress, which is of white
satin, and is a marvel of the dressmakers’
art. The custom duties were $4,200.
A young Baltimore man told his wife
that he had embezzled several hundred dol
lars of liis employer’s money, and she said
that by close economy they could save
enough to refund the amount, and thus
save his credit. When they had, by hard
pinching, accumulated the required sum,
the husband added that to the stolen money
and eloped with a girl, as he had intended
to do from the first.
Atlanta Constitution, 21st: Gen. Robert
Toombs was in the city yesterday. Ho
says, with toars in his eyes, that the pres
ent attitude of affairs at Washington is
gradually breaking his heart; and yet
there are those who would rise up and say
that the General is still unreconstructed.
While the Patrons of Husbandry have
not, of late, taken any part in politics, they
have by no means lost their organization.
The statistics of the National Grange show
that there are in the United States, 13,693
Granges, with a membership of 532,460.
Last year there were 59J new Granges es
tablished.
There is but one State in the Union in
which American citizens wore lawfully
prevented, at the recent election, from
going to the polls to vote. We mean Rhode
Island, in which no foreign-horn citizen is
allowed to vote unless he owns real estate.
Rhode Island is Republican, and went for
Hayes. But for its real estate qualific a
tlon, it would probably have gone for Til
den.—New York Sun.
T he Norfolk Landmark is of opinion that
the popular comparison of President
Grant to C.esar Is an outrage to the mem
ory of the groat Roman, who was not only
one of the greatest warriors in all time,
but was eno of the most accomplished per
sonages of the antique world, and whom
even Cicero, conceded to share with De
mosthenes the supremacy in oratory,
admitted was superior in oratory him
self.
The Boston Post says that Gen. Huger
is not so much a heartless knave as he Is a
poor tool. First Ulysses chides him, and
new that prince of alien plunderers,
Chamberlain, says that Ruder has acted
wholly independent of him, auu upon his
own responsibility as an officer. Evidently
these men are not troubled by conscience.
The business of theatres throughout the
country, says the Dramatic Nexs, is unfa
vorably affected by the Brooklyn disaster.
The same paper says : “Speculators arc
having a hard time at the city theatres
People who used to call on them with the
greatest anxiety for seats In the front
rows, now mainly want seats in the last
row near the door. The speculators have
had to change their base of operations, as
the choice seats of a theatre have changed
their lo cation.”
The second Wednesday of February, the
day fixed by law for the opening of the
electoral returns by the two Houses of
Congress, falls on the 14th of February,
which is Ash Wednesday in 1877, and the
beginning of Lent. It la also St. Valen
tine’s day, and as all birds select their
mates upon that day for another year, It
Is expected that the great American Eagle,
which for this occasion we must suppose
to be a female, will then select the old
bachelor, Samuel J. Tilden, as mate for
four years.— N. O. Times.
A newly married couple wero found dead
In bed at the Commercial Hotel in Chicago,
Thursday morning. They took their room
lour weeks ago, aparently as well a ad hap
py as they ever were. The man was a Re
publican, while the wife was a Democrat.
They made a bet in the parlor on the result
of the election. If Hayes was elected, the
wifo was to get up first in the morning. If
Tilde* was elected, Bhe was to go to bed
first at night to warm it, and to get up
ffirst in the morning. The morning after
they made this singular wager, they sent
down to have Habbx Polling send up the
returns, so they eould see which should get
tP first- He could not give them, so they
remained in bed all day. The second day
the same,and so on,till Thursday morning,
having theii meals served to them in bed.
About 5 o’clock, tfaw&iarm-bell was rung in
the office by the wire connecting with the
room. On hastening there, the woman was
found, nearly gone, but with atrength to
say that her husband gave ont about an
hour before, still claiming that Hayes was
elected and demanding that she get up.
She stoutly refused, held out the longest,
but at last gave up, sank back by the side
of her late husband, with a smile of peace
spreading over her determined features.
They were from Oshkosh.— Pomeroy’s Dem
ocrat.
Vice-President Hendricks—The Vote
of Florida.
Many Republican and Independent'
newspapers are now talking about com
promising the situation by throwing
the election of President into the
House and Vice President into the Sen
ate so that the successful candidates
shall be Tilden and Wheeler. To
make the programme more paaticular
ly happy it ought to include the sum
mary taking-off of Mr. Tilden about
next J uly, so that Mr. Wheeler of
Malone, in the State of New York, may
be President by right of succession
for tbo remainder of the next four
years. Seriously speaking, however,
there is no more reason why the ticket
should be Tilden and Wheeler than
Hayes and Hendricks. If Gov, Tilden
has been elected President, Gov. Hen
dricks has been elected Vice-President,
aud as there is not the slightest doubt
of the election of Tilden, so there is
none of tho election of Hendricks,
They were both chosen upon the same
ticket, at tho same time, and by tho
same Electors, and every member of
both Houses of Congress knows it.
To-day the canvass of the vote of
Florida will be completed according to
law, and will show a majority
for the Tilden and Hendricks Electors
of 94 votes. The Republican
Supreme Court, in the action brought
by Drew the Democratic candidate for
Governor, interpreted the statute un
der which the Board of State Can
vassers acted, unanimously decided
that the power given by the law is minis
terial only, and ordered the Board to
count all the returns that were regular
on their face. As the Board in their
sworn answer to the court admitted
that all the returns were regular on
their face and that the rejections which
gave the State to Hates, were made
for causes outside the record, which
the court decides ware in excess of
their powers, the now canvass will be
merely a compilation of tho returns
of the county canvassers and will re
sult as follows.
Tilden 24,434
Hayes 24,34)
Tilden’s majority 94
This legal canvass of the Florida re
turns gives four more votes to Tilden
and Hendricks, making their number
188 out of 369 electoral votes, even
allowing Louisiana, Oregon and South
Carolina to Hayes.
This settles the question as far as
the facts and the law can settle any
thing. Tilden and Hendricks are just
as much entitled to the vote of Florida
as of New York or Indiana, and t hey
will get it on the second Wednesday in
February next. We are willing to com
promise when there is anytlMug in
doubt, but we would as soon think of
advisiDg Gen. Colquitt to draw straws
with Jonathan Norcross as to who
shall be Governor of Georgia tho next
four years as to consider for a moment
any proposition which defeats Gov.
Hendricks. Mr. Wheeler, of Malone,
in the State of New York, has not
been called this time, and certainly has
not been chosen.
Eloise Maud Stoyall.
At Carteraville, Ga., on Christmas
day, after a brief illness, Eloise Maud
Stovall, only 20 years of age, closed
her eyes in the sleep of death to open
them in tho eternal life of heaven.
Though tho beatified soul of the maid
en be safe in the sheltering arms of her
“high-born kinsman,” the King of
Heaven, those of her friends and fami
ly who loved her while upon this'eartb,
so full of grace of mind and person,
must mourn that tho scenes that knew
her once shall know her no more. Her
memory shall remain like a sweet
dream ; but they cannot but lament
“The touch of a vanished hand.
And the sound of a voice that is still.”
Miss Eloise Stovall was among us
in Augusta, nearly the whole of last
winter. She charmed young and old
alike with the many gifts of God in her
possession. It seems impossible that
this young girl, lately so full of
strength, hope, intellect, innocence and
comeliness, should now bo cold In daath
and reposing under the wild December
snow. Yet such is. the fact, aud we
can only reconcile the apparent contra
diction of her early loss, while so
many unworthy linger on, to the in
scrutable wisdom of a Divine Provi
dence that doeth all things well.
Hard as it is for all who knew her
and loved her to bid her a temporary
farewell, the melanohaly task must be
performed. But they may truthfully
assuage their grief by confiding in her
happier estate.
“She died in beauty like the dews
From flowers exhaled away,
She died In beauty, like a star. *
Lost on the brew of day.
She lives In glory, like the stars
Set round the radiant modn.
She lives In glory, like the sun,
Amid the blaze of June.”
How to Write Editorials.
The New York Express of last Fri
day, injects into one of its editorials
about fifty lines of a leading article
on the political complexion of the next
House of Representatives taken bodily
from the Conltitttiohalist of the 16th
inst. Wo are willingthat our exchanges
should have the benefit of our brains
but do please give U3 credit in the
premises.
The New York Times, leading bull
dozing organ in the country, leaves out
last Saturday the associated press dis
patch from Florida announcing the de
cision of the Supreme Court, which
gives thaState to Tildes, nor does it
supply the deficiency by any special
dispatch of its own. It is a newspaper
when the news suits it; otherwise not.
* How Hayes Carried Louisiana,
It has generally been supposed that
Mr. J. Mabison Wells’ Returning Board
gav* Louisiana to Hayes, but it seems
now that seven rascally supervisors in
as maDy parishes did the business by
omitting thirteen polls from their re
turns to the Board. After the Board
bad finished its part of the dirty work
by throwing out sixty-nine polls, con
taining 10,269 Democratic and 1,763 Re
publican votes, the count showed the
following result for electors:
Dem. Rep,
Wick11ffe.73,566 Sheluon. .72,961 D. maj. 605
Seay 73 519 Joseph. ..72,972 D. maj. 547
McEnery 73,430 Marks ...73,299 D. maj. 131

Cross 73,310 J0ffri0n..73,677 R. mai. 367
Cobb 73,187 Burch... 75,221 R. mai 2034 1
Poche.. .73,129 Ke110gg...75,223 R. maj. 2194
Electing three Democrats and five Re
publicans.
To meet this state of things these Su
pervisors omitted from their report 13
polls containing 2967 Democratic and
682 Republican votes, which of oourse
made the count right. Their conduct
was infamous, but what matter so long
as the results accomplished stand?
“They are open to prosecution, for their
conduct in not returning polls,” says
the Honorable James Madison Wells,
whose poor relations have $700,000
worth of claims against tho govern
ment, “but we cannot compel them to
obey. Go into the courts against
them.” If thSre are any fair minded
Republicans in Congress, (and wo are
very careful to spell it with au “if”)
revelations like these ought to compel
an immediate abandonment of the
Hayes conspiracy so far as they are
concerned; but there is not much to
hope for in that quarter. Wo pre
fer pinning our faith to the Northern
and Western Democrats.
The Herald on Facts and Figures.
The New York Herald pretends to be
a newspaper. We say “pretends,” for
about half the time Its claims are mere
pretension. For instance, in its lead
ing article on tho 22d instant appeared
the following in relation to the three
disputed States :
It by no means follows that if they can
not be honestly counted for Hayes they
must therefore be counted for Tilden.
However clearly it may be shown that
this ought to have been the result It is too
late for It to bo accomplished now. The
legal obstacles are insurmountable. Take
tin case of Florida for illustration. The
law requires that the electors in each State
shall assemble on a given day, cast their
votes, prepare and authenticate their cer
tificates and appoint their messenger. The
Tilden electors In Florida did not meet on
•that day, did not vote, did not mako out
oertilicatos and send them to Washington.
The office of Presidential olectors expires
on the first Wednesday of December. On
the following day they have no more title
to act as such than any other private citi
zen. If the votes of the Hayes electors in
Florida are Illegal no votes from that, State
can be oounted. Tho necessary conse
quence will be that there is no choice either
of President or Vice-President by tho Elec
toral Colleges.
For the information of tho lTei'ald,
we take pleasure in stating that on the
first Wednesday In December, 1876, be
ing the sixth day of the month, Messrs.
Robert Bullock, Robert B. Hilton,
Wilkinson Call and James E. Yonoe,
Democratic electors for the State of
Florida, met in the State Capitol at
Tallahassee, cast four votes for Samuel
J. Tilden, of the State of New York,
for President, and four votes for
Thomas A. Hendricks, of the State of
Indiana, for Vice President of the
United States, and appointed Henry S.
Elliott messenger to convey tho vote
to Washington. That tho said Elliott.
as such messenger, did so convey the
said vote, and on last Thursday, De
cember 21st, 1876, In city of Wash
ington, presented tho package contain
ing the same, In the presence of Chah.
W. Jones, United States Senator from
Florida, to Thomas W. Ferry, United
States Senator from Michigan, and
President pro tem of the United States
Senate, who received the same, but de
clined to give a receipt therefor, or ex
plain why he refused to do so.
Try again, Mr. Herald, and see if you
cannot approach within shooting dis
tance of the facts.
“In Case Gov. llayos is Inaugurated,”
The Chicago Tribune says “ the
Southern papers differ with each other
in regard to what shall be done in case
Gov. Hates is inaugurated President.
Some of them like the Richmond En
quirer and the Augusta Constitution
alist breathe fire and brimstone, etc.’
As we have never supposed for a
moment that the silly farce of iuaugu
tlng Returning Board Hayes, the de
feated candidate for the Presidency,
will be performed, we have not troubled
ourselves about what shall be done
thereafter. Wo never cross a bridge
until wo come to it, and this particular
bridgo happens not to be on the line of
travel adopted by the American people.
lion. A. II Stephens as an Anachron
ism.
Rev. John A. Broadus, D. D., LL. D.,
of the Baptist Theological Seminary at
Greenville, South Carolina, in his
“Lectures on the History of Preach
ing,” recently published, has the follow
ing singular reference to the great
physical and mental contrast which is
presented in the case of Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens, of Georgia :
“In the time or Peter the Hermit and
Bernard, a feeble physique, especially
if it appeared to be emaciated by fast
ing, rather helped a preacher’s oratory
with the people ; for first, it seemed to
indicate great piety, and secondly, his
powerful utterauce when excited
seemed in that superstitious ago to be
preternatural
“The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of
Georgia, is in this respect an anachron
ism. If he had lived in the middle
ages, the fact that so frail a man can
speak two hours and hold a great
audience would have stamped him a
saint, proternaturally supported, and
with more than human claims to at
tention and belief.”
“What do you charge a quart for
milk here ?” asked a man, as he put
his head iu at the door of a milk shop.
“Eight cents,” was the reply. “Ain’t
you got any for seven cents a quart ?’•
“No,” said the proprietor ; “but,” he
added, “we can soon make you some.”

small brother’s accomplishments)—

earthly paradise)—“ln the Z’logical
