THE NEXT iELECTORAL COLLEGE.
The apportionment bill aa it standi
is a Republican measure, _ aud as
South Carolina is also in favor of the
proposed plan, it ia reasonable to aa-
snrae that tbe bill will become a law
with material amendment, sayathe
Atlanta Constit’-tion. Instead then
ot 185 electoral voles being necessary
to elect a President, the successful
candidate must have at least 201.
Iu the old electoral college there
were 309 votes; in the new there
will be 401, or 404 if Dakota, be
comes x state. In the last named
event a majority would be 203. It
ia reasonably certain that Dakota
will become a .state, and. that there
fore the next President most secure
203 electoral votes. Under tbe ex
isting apportionment tbe sixteen
southern states cast 138 electoral
votes; under ihe£propoi«d law they
will cast 153. Let us assume that
the south will be solid iu 1884—dem
ocratically solid. Jnst 60 additional
votes are needed. New York will
cast 36 and Indiana 15—total 51, or
a relative loss ot two votes. In other
words, under tbe present law, New
York, Indiana and the south would
cast 188 votes when 185 are necessa
ry, under the new law they will cast
204 when 203 are essential to success.
If Indiana should go over to the ene
my, Nevada’s three votes aud New
Jersey nine would not suffice. No
vada, New Jersey and Connecticut
-would replace Indiana, and give us a
margin of tour voles, but Counecti
cut is no longer reliably Democratic.
We could spare Connecticut if we
sou Id carry Calilot nia, Indiana could
be given up in cate Colorado, Nevada
and New Jersey went Democratic,
The whole truth is, the situation will
uot bu greatiy changed by tbejnew
law; for New York will retain all
her power as tbe Presideut nruKiue
state, aud Iudiaua will remain as piv-
ovtal as before. A nominee that
could curry Ohio would, 'however,
unsettle the slates. Uuder the new
bill the southern gains foot up fifteen,
namely: Aikansas, 1; Georgia, 1
Kentucky 1; Mississippi 1; Missou
ri 1; North Carolina 1, South Caro
lina 2; Texas 5; Virginia 1; and
West Virginia 1. No southern state
loses a member. The net northern
guns are seventeen, Thestat.esthat
suffer losses are Maine, New Ramp-
shire and Vermont, one each.
The papers are saying a great deal
about Jeff rsouian democracy, Bour-
bouism, and the like; but we con
fess we feel more interest in the grain
crops of the coining season than in
those matters.
Turn, from an exchange, is Evident
ly a vile slander:—‘An English sta
tistician calculates that every man on
an average speaks 52 volumes of 600
octavo pages per annum, and that
every woman yearly brings out 520
volumes of the same size in talk ’

1 WITCHCRAFT IN ALASKA.
St. Louis Republican.
Those who attended tbe meeting
of the Woman’s Board if Missions at
the Presbyterian rooms yesterday als
ternoon were grieved and astonished
when they listened to the reading
of a very sensational letter from Miss
Maggie J. Dunbar, a Presbyterian
missionary, stationed at prenent at
Fort Wrangell, Alaska. Through
the letter its author described the
terrible tlbfferinga of several families,
old men and young children, recently
tortured to death for the alleged
crime of witchcraft. Thd victims, in
cluding persons of various ages, frem
four to seventy years, were tried by
the heathen tribunals ot the place,
and sentensed to death. At Lock,
a portion of Alaska where tbe an-
taent, population of the place predomi
nates, and enforces their unwritten
law, which consists of all the super
stitions their ancestors fonnd leisure
to devise and hand down to their
posterity, a family found guilty of be
ing spiritual jugglers, of a type sup
posed to be in league with the devil,
were taken out and tied' to trees.
The grandmother of tbe family was
tied to a large forest tree, and lett
there to starve. After giviug her salt
water whenever she asked that her
thirst might be quenched, the demons
about the tree fiually hacked her to
death with knives. The balance ot
the family succeeded in breaking
away from their captors, and escaped
by plunging into a dark, and, to all
appearances, impenettable forest,
filled with wild beasts. These perse*
cuted people wandered about through
the dark reeestt.es, of this wilderness,
cold and buugry, until they could
stand their sufferings no longer, when
they concluded to cross the enemy’s
oountry under cover ot darkness, and
reach, if possible, Fort Wrangell,
where they knew they would be safe
in the presence of a United Stales
man-of-war. They reached the
ocean, and took to a canoe. In This
trail bark they pursued their journey,
buggiug the coast as closely as possi
ble until they arrived at the fort, al
most dead and scarcely able to talk.
The missionary, who was walking on
the beach on the evening ot their ars
rival, saw the canoe land. The craft
contained an old man and two chil
dren, who related their frightful ad
ventures and asked for protection.
The children were taken into the inis*
siouary home of the fort. The two
girls, the letter states, looked rather
odd walking to the home along the
beach robed in blankets tattered and
torn.
A SCENE IN IRELAND.

' Dublin IriahfTimea. 1
At the usual fortnight petty sessions
bold last week—tbe presiding magis
trates being Col. Stuart and Mr. T. B.
Wilson—three young, men named
Corbett and a man named Sena were
charged with havining murderously
asaanlted a process-server named Shee-
Patrick Sheedy deposed that be
bad resided in Carrick-on-Snir, and
was procese-server. On Thursday,
the 20th of Doceraker last, he got a
number of writs to serve on the tens
ants of Mr. Scally. Tbe writa were
for rente due. In the discharge of
that duty be proceeded to Ballyneal,
and served some oi the tenants with
writs.
‘While you were serving thou writs
did anything happen to you?’
‘I had them all served but two—
one for Mrs. Shea and another. I got
as far as Shea’s house and 1 entered
tbe farm house, Shea, the prisoner,
met me. He aaid: ‘Sneedy, I never
thought I would see you at this dirty
work.’
‘Did anything happen you then?’
‘Yes; 1 beard voices m the kitchen,
and I became frightened, and turning,
ran; but belore I got twenty yards I
was seised by three or four persona,
and dragged back into tbe kitchen.’
‘Were the writs taken from you?’
•Yea.’
‘Alter you were Liken to the kitch
en did anything happen to youf
‘Yes; 1 was knocked down on tbe
broad of my back, and several parties
shouted. ‘Shove the writs down his
throat.’
‘Can you say if the prisoners were
the parties who shouted, ‘Shove them
down his throat?
I was too terrified to know whodid
it.
Were the prisoners there at all.
.Yes; they were all in the kitchen.
You say that you. were knocked
down in the kitchen. When you
were knocked down, did an\ thing
happen to you ?
Hymaiial Coincidences.
Wa-liington Cor. Baltimore San.
Mr. William Hughes, ot Baltimore,
was married to Miss Mollie Bur
roughs. of Mathews county, Va., on
last Thursday, and came to Wash
ington on Friday, en ronte for Tope
ka, Kansas, their future home. Tbis
marriage forms a link in a chain of
remarkable coincidences. Mr. Hughes
has three brothers whose birthdays
fall on February 16. Each ot tbe four
brothers was married on his twenty-
sixth birthday, at the same church
and by the same minister, the bride
in each case bring at the age of 21 cn
their wedding day.
A little girl whom tbe missionary
calls Georgia, only five years of age
and an orphan, resided with an aunt.
This aunt took sick one day, when
J^yhikhwaiti aceeaiad.of -bewitching
her, and ‘making her bad medicine.’
As aeon ax this accusation was made
the unfortunate little creature was
locked up in a room, where she was
kept for three days without food or
water, and whipped unmercifully, un
til her body was literally covered
with discolored marks." The chief of
one ot the Christianized communities
heard of the outrage and reportod the
matter to the military authorities ot
the fort, who visited tbe place where
tbe child was confined one night, res
cued her, and took her to tbe mis
sionary home. Both the cases des
cribed have been reported to the
Captain of the man-of-war stationed
at tbe fort, .and the savages, it ia
thought, will ultimately be punished.
TBE CITY OF MACON.
There is no paper that we read
with more interest than the Macon
Telegraph & Messenger; and there
is no, city whose progress we watch
with closer attention or more gratifi
cation, than the beautiful (Jem ralcity
of Georgia. Tbis is partly due to the
fact that for many years, Macon wax
our home. Here the halcyon days ot
our childhood and youth werespent—
perhaps the happiest period of life
But there is another reason and
that is that Macon’s progress up
ward in financial prosperity and com
mercial importance is snch as cannot
fail to be gratifyiug to all who know
the splendid old city and its charac
teristics. With a steady unfaltering
step, she marches onward. Without
the rapid growth which some cities
have attained, or tbe self-assertion of
othera, e’ue has taken on growth as
rapidly as is compatible with a truly
healthy condition ; and she has never
taken a step backward. Uupreteo
tious, yet deserving, modest, bold in
genuine progress, Macon maintains a
queenly position among southern cit
ies, and is the worthy home of some
of tbe best people that ever breathed
tbe air of heaven.
We rejoice from- day to day, to
note, in the columux ot the Telegraph
and Messenger, the steady, increas
ing advancement of our old home.
Wbat it has done in the past seemi
but a foreshadowing of what it will
do in tite future. Macon will never
have more good fortune than it de-'
serves.

Of course, it will pass the flense, and

SHORT SPEECHES.
An inquisitive Fiench bishop once
caught a Tartar in the Duke de Ro-
qnelaire. The latter, passing in haste
through Lyons, was hailed by the
bishop with ‘Hi 1 hi S’ The Duke
stopped. ‘Where have you come
from?’ inquired the prelate. ‘Paris,’
said the Duke. ‘What is there fresh
in Paris?’ ‘Greqp peas.’ But what
were the people saying when yea
left?* ‘Vesper*.’ ‘Goodness, man,’
broke out the angry questioner, ‘who
are yoo? What are you called?’
‘Ignorant people call *me Hi! hi!
Gentleman term me the Duke de Ro-
quelaire. Drive on, postillion.’ One
morning a woman was shown into Dr.
Abernethy’s room; belore he could
eak she bared her arm, saying
Urn.’ ‘A poultice,’ said the Doc
tor. Next day she called again,
howi d her arm aDd said. • ‘Better.’
Continue the poultice.’ Some days
elasped before Abernethy saw her
again; then she aaid: ‘Well, your fee?'
•Nothing,’ quoth the great medico,
•you are the moutsenaible woman lever
saw.’ Lord Aberdeen, the premier
of the coalition ministry, was reirarks
able tor the little use he made ot his
tongue. When, by way of reconcil
ing him to accompany her on a set
trip, the Queen smilingly observed:
‘I believe, my lord, you are not often
sea sick?’ ‘Always, madam,’ was the
brief but significant reply. 'But,'
said her Majesty, ‘not very sea siok?,
Veiy, tpadam,* said the uncompro
mising minister. Wellington, we
need hardly say, was not given to use
too many words. One example of
bis economy thia way will auffioe.
The Duke wrote to Dr. Hutton for
information as to the scientific ac-
quirments of h young officer who had
been under his instruction." The doa.
tor thought be could do no less than
answer the question verbally, and
made an appointment accordingly.
Directly Wellington saw him he said:
‘I am obliged to you, Doctor, for tbe
trouble you have taken. Is fit
for tbo post?* Clearing his throat,
Dr. Hutton began: ‘No man more so,
u>y lord, I can > ‘That’s quite suf
ficient.’ said Wellington; ‘I know how;
valuble your time i»; mine, just now*
is equally so. I will not detain you
any (eager. " "
What.
As soon as they shouted, ‘Shove
the writs down liis throat, I plead
ed for mercy, but it was no use, and
one ot the party stuck a writ into my
mouth, aud I was held down until I
swallowed it.
They made you swallow tbe writ?
Yes; Shea’s writ.
Did any ot the prisoners take part
in tbis ?
It was not they that shoved the
writ down my throat, but they assists
ed in holding me while it was being
pushed down my throat.
Did you swallow more than coo
writ?
I was kept down until I swallowed
tbe other.
Did you get any water to wash
them down ? [Laughter.]
Yes; after I swallowed the first
writ somebody said to give me a
drink of boiling water, and after that
I got some dirty drater to drink.’ .
And after you got the water they
made vou swallow the second writ ?
Yes sir.
Did anything rise happen to you ?
•Yes, I was cuffed and beaten, and
threatened that if I ever was got at
such dirty work again I _ would not
get off so easily; and just as I was
oing out cf the kitchen running, a
;ettle of boiling water was thrown af
ter me, but it did out do me any
harm.
Had yon to promise that you would
never again go writ serving?
I had.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN WOMEN VOTE.
Mr. T. w. Higginson says: lam
not given to predicting just wbat will
happen when women vote, but I cons
fidently assert that they will be taken
to the jiolta in fitst class carriages, as
old or invalid or indolent voters are
now. Tbe.carriage will be only the
beginning of tbe polite attentions that
will soon appear. When we Bee tbe
transformation undergone by every
ferryboat and every railway station,
so soon as it comes to be frequented
by women, who can doubt that vto-
ing places will experience the same
change? They will soon have—at
least in the ladies’ department—^ele
gance instead of discomfort, beauty
for ashes, plenty of rocking-chairs,
and no need ot spittoons—the Massa-
ebusetts Legislature has already
passed a law forbidding' tORikingal
the polls. Very possibly they may
have all modern conveniences and in
conveniences. furnace registers, tea
kettles, Washington pies, aud a young
lady to give checks for bundles. Who
knows what elaborate comforts, what
queenly luxuries may be offered to
women at voting places whsn the
time has finally arrived to sue for
their votes? People look at the
coarseness and dirt now. visible at bo
many voting places, and say: ‘Would
you expose women to all that?’ But
these places are not dirtier than a
railway smuking car; and there is no
more coarseness than in any lerryboat,
which is, for whatever reason, uaed
by men only. You do not look into
these place* and say with indignation:
‘Never, if I can help it, shall my wile
or my beloved greatgrandmother
travel by steamboat or by rail.’ You
know that with these exemplary rela
tives will enter order and quiet, car
pets and curtains, brooms and dus
ters. Why should it be otherwise
with ward rooms and town halls?
There is not an atom more ot intrin
sic difficulty in provid : ng a decorous
ladies’ room for a voting place, than
for a post office or a railway station;
and it is as simple a thing to vote a
ticket as to buy one.’
The Pope’s New Home.
A curious story is told at some
length by Figaro concerning the ne
gotiations which it asserts have re
cently taken place in regard to the
expected departure of the I'ope from
Rome. Tiiis flight from the Vatican
has long been the fixed purpose of
Leo XIII, but it is only recently that
be has decided to go. Prince Bis
marck offered to repeal the May laws
and to authorize the expelled priests
to return to the parishes ir the Pope
would consent to fix his future resi
dence at Frankfort. He promised
that the city should be neutralized; as
il) the time, of (he. Gel man Confeder*
tion, aud offered the Pope its tempo
ral sovereignty, with a subsidy of
many millions per annum. Leo de
clined. Strasburg was then offered
him ou the same terms as Frankfort.
This offer was also refused. A ref
uge in France was out of the ques
tion. So at last the Pope closed with
the offer of Salzbur, which has been
made" him by the Hapshurgs. The
ci y is to be neutralized, and the Pope
subventioned from the Austrian exs
chequer. Everything ia said to be in
readiness tor the tranxfer ot the Holy
See from Rome, to Salzburg, and be
fore long the hour of departure will
be fixed.
Disease in lee.
The New York World, backed by
Professor Pornpelly, of Newport, and
ofessor Pornpelly, ol
Dr. Bell,ofNew York,both emrainent
scientists, is investigating tbe subject
of disease in ice. Professor Pornpel-
ly las been studying tbe ice question
for some years, aud discovers that
freezing will not kill tbe bacteria and
other germs, which propagate disease,
as has generally been supposed, and
that the ice made from water into
which any sewerage flows is liable to
propagate typhoid and other fevers
-whether placed iti drinking water or
in a cooler to cool meat. This fact
the Professor proves by innumerable
instances, and he proves his taith by
his works; for he never drinks water
in which ice has been plaoed. He
always cools hia water in bottles,
which are plaoed in ice . Neverthr
less, we dare say, people generally
will continue to drtuk ice water ail
tbe same.

that county, and a few days since the
county, commissioners of Bibb-de
cided to grant no more license tor the
sale of liquor outside of the city of
Macon. Now the ordinary of Sum

A young Roumanian engiueer nam
ed TrajaD Teodorescu, has at length
succeeded in surmounting the difficul
ties that have heretofore baffled in-,
ventors without number. A few
weeks ago this gentleman submitted
to the consideration of a technical
commission, appointed by the Rou
manian government, his model of / a
fiahvshaped s ed boa:, provided with
ibeine iusof locomotion and stored
with air sufficient lor the consump
tion of its crew during a period ot
submer.-ion but exceeding fifteen
hour*. The stock of air, however,
can he renewed at will by raising the
vessel to a point Jrom six to nine leet
beneath the . surface of the water,
whence, by means of pneumatic pumps
and a slender iron tube passed through
a practical circular trap in its roof, it
will be able to take in its atmostpher-
ic provision. The interior of the
boat is illuminated brilliaully from
stem to stern by electric light'throwc
upon powerful reflectors. With tbe
aid of this light it will be enabled to
search for torpedoes at but little risk
to itself, and to conduct its own of
fensive operations against hostile fleats
with the utmost precision. We un
derstand that M. Teodorescu. under
the immediate auspices of his govertv
ment, has arrived in London for the
purpose of patenting his .invention in

against tbe windpipe and the attempts
