G LITE A U AGAIN.
It will be remembered that when
Miss C'heyalier made her last appeal
to the iVesident for a reprieve for
Guiteau until the Insanity Commis
sion CO m %ict, Attorney General
Brewster was asked for an opinion,
which he furnished, on the strength
of which the President refused to
interfere. The text of the opinion
is now made public for the first time.
It expressed u dfcubt as to luo power
of the President to Com
mission to ol
the law. The case had been Jairly
tried; the only deieuse made was
that of insanity, and the eviuence
was slrongly againsL Ujc prisoner on
that point. -Moreover, tiie applica
tion came too late. It was no legal
atutus, and was an altempt to secure
by extrajudicial bearing the reversal
ol a solemn verdict. Such an at
tempt ought W>§ discouraged, and

WHO CAN VOTE.
The question has bqfii frequently
asked ns liow long a residence in the
State or county is necessary to vote.
Below ve giye the law upon the sub
ject that every to

“Every male citizen of the United
State.-, except as hereinafter provi
ded, twenty-one years of age,
shall ha ve resided in this State oiua
year noxt preceding tlie election and
shall haye resided six mouths in the
county in which he offers to yote,
aud shall have paid all taxes, which
since the adoption of the constitu
tion of .1878, have been required pre
vious to the year in which he offers' 1
to vote, etc.
Tho exceptions above referred to
are:
Ist. ‘“Those who have been cott
victed in any court of competent juß
risdietion, of treason, of embezzle
ment of the public funds, malfeas

any ciime involving moral turpitude,
punishable by the laws of this State
with imprisonment in the penitenti
ary, unless such person .-hull have
been pardoned.
2d. Idiots and insane persons.
On the subject of residence, the
law is that the domicil of a person
of full age is the place where lus
family permanently resides, aud if
he has no family, then the piace
where he shall generally lodge. The
domicil is changed by an actual
change of residence, but must be ac
companied by an avowed intention
of remaining.
Married men who live here over
six months, but whose families liye
.in another county, cannot vote in
Liisfounty. Singlo men who re
lide here for that time, cannot vote

nying group in the gallery, who made
that scene possible, liaye their lull
the triumph now, and in
God shall reward the selP
sacrificing shall be recognized.
f There is much encouragement in
this for those who once wrought ef
fectively for Christ and the Church
but through siCftness or collapse of
fortune or advanced years can not go
out akthey used. 1 was in the Sol
diers’"lospital in Paris, and there I
saw some of £he men of the first Na
poleon some of them lame and all
aged. I asked them Na>
poleon and where they fought under
him? One man said, “I was at Aus
terlitz,” and another skid, “I was at
the Pyramids,” and another said, “I
was at the bridge of Lodi.” The
French Government, instead of cast
ing these okl men off to die, made
their last days luxurious. Well, do
you think the Lord is going to cast
off his old soldiers? Look at the
old veterans! You think those crev
ices on tliew faces are wrinkles. No;
they are battle wounds. They fought
with trouble, with sickness. Thev
God, they fought for
heaven. When hard work was to be
done for Christ, they were willing to
take the heaviest end of it. They
would do the most unpopular thing
if they thought God wanted it done.
But now they are full of physical
weaknesses. They have been obliged
to stop by the brook Besor. You
must think that Christ has a very
short memory if you think he has
forgetten their faithful services. Do
not fret, my aged friend,because you
can not be in active service. You
just tarry by the stuff, and wait for
your share of the spoils. It makes
me laugh to think how you will be
surprised as the conqueror puts a
ring on your hand and a chain of
gold on your neck, and tells you to
go in and dine with the King, I see
you trying to back out, as unworthy,
but the shining angels of God would
group around you, aud some on one
side and some on the other will push
you right up and cry, “Here is anoth
er old soldier of Jesus Christ!” And
blessed spirits will rush down at.you
saying, “Oh, yes; he was the means
of saving my soul.” And the cry
will go round the slrninig circles,
“Come on! come oh ! Come up! come
up! Welcome!”
Great encouragement in this sub
ject for old ministers. They now sit
in pews instead of standing" in pul
pits. Their name is marked emeri
tus in the minutes of the General As
sembly of consociation. Their hair
white with the blossoms of the tree
of life. They hear a text announ
ced, and it brings up a sermon they
preached fifty years ago on that sub
ject. They preached more gospel
on S4OO a year than some of their
successors on $4,000. A lady says
at the close of the seryice: “Doctor
you don’t know me?” And the cleri
cal octogenarian says: “It seems to
me 1 have seen you before.” “Why,
says the lady i u middle life, “you
baptized me and you married me. 1 ’
Aud the old man says: ‘‘Oh yes;
my memory is not as good as it used
be.“ So they sit in all our churches,
heroes of revival in 1820, in 1832,
in 1857. They' have stood by along
trench of graves cut through a half
century, sounding the news of resur
rection. The}' have been in more
ifilaklavas and have taken more Se*-
bastopols than you ever heard of.
But now they are waiting by the
brook Besor, and the 00,000 young
and middle aged ministers now ta
king thftbruu f.the.fray shall have
no iu|e rewn.it -'. inn these pitired
veterpis.
Cneei up, ye men and women of
unappreciated services! Justice
will tie done you— then

who have known me long and inti
mately, 1 value. To
be qualified “well afitl ably” to fill
the position so lately occupied by the

of no ■dinary capacity. With a con

If the General Assembly shall see
proper to elect me to fill that high
office, I shall feel grateful, and will

Having written this much, it

HON MONTGOMERY BLAIR
Has written a letter, in which he
says: “In the issue of the Washing
ton Union ot the 14th of December,
1870, I expressed the opinion that
the Presidency had been sold by cer
tain of the Southern leaders. I had
reason, then to believe the fact, sub
sequently stated publicly by Ben
Hill, that a leagu<L had then
formed by enougliK>f them to con
trol the House, to act with the .Re
publicans on the Presidential ques
tion; and the declaration of Mr.
Lamar—who was, I believe, the head
of that league—stated the ground
upon which they had then deter
mined to put themeelyes in carrying
out the programmed But the pro
gramme then CfMtemplated was
abandoned Mr. Conkiing
aud other Republican Senators would
not stutify themselves by upholding
such power in Ferry, "having at the
arevious session of the Senate denied
it in toto. This compelled the re
sort to the Electoral Commission to
effect the object previously intended
to have been accomplished through
Ferry, the only difference in the plan
being that the power to defeat the
will of the people was given to a Re
publican commission, for which the
Constitution furnished no pretext,
instead of to a Republican Vice Pres
ident, for which there was some col
or of authority.”
A REPRODUCTIVE CoMET.
The present comet in the Eastern
sky, which can be distinctly seen by
everyone at early morning, is cer
tainly the most rem®ficable one of
all the modern comJ|l Prof. Lewis
Swift, director of Warner Obser
vatory, Y., states that
the comet grazeothe sun so closely
as to cause great disturbance, so
much so that it has divided into no
less than eight seperate parts, all of
which can be distinctly seen by a
good telescope. There is only one
other instance on record wheri a
comet has divided, that ODe being
Biella’s comet of 1846, which seper
ated into two parts. Applications
have been made on Mr. H. H. Warn

cometary offshoots, claiming the

Whether the great comet will con.
