THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN 11. H.WTISI, Kdltor. Coluinbu*. (to.. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 23, 1870. LARGEST CIRCULATION In the rmnllfl ■ d Thb Districts of FloridadgpfeoWaM that thl First embraces both Pensacola and Key West, stretching ucross the entire State from the extreme west to 4he extreme south, and includ ing" aft the counties on the Gtttf coast. The length OT Ihis Dis trict we suppose to lp? five hundred miles. Tire Radicals havo now made the charge that five or six of the Tllden Electors from the Southern States are Ineligbla because their political disabilities have not boen removed. They do not name the Elector*, and we do not believe that they can name them. Bot even if they should find that some have not had their “disa bilities” removed by act of Congress, the qualifications of an Elector are prescribed by the Constitution, and no legislation can add to them. Dr.jjCbaa. K. Owens communicates to the Macon Tcleffrnph the following di agnoses of croup and diphtheria, hy which they may he distinguished: Croup is ushered in by cold and cough, attended by a rapid formation of a pseudo or pellicular membrane; is increased by changes in the atmosphere; is not catch ing; comes on suddenly; known by croak ing voice; docs not affect the general health; occurs most often in children; mny occur many times in the same children' Diphtheria is ushered in by a chill, at tended by a rapid formation of white patches; does not become altered by nt mospherw changes; decidedly, is con taglous; comes on by degrees; docs not af fect the voice in the beginning; is exces sively prostrating; adults are quite ns liable to have it as children; very seldom occurs more than once in the same per son. f ' ' ri * ‘ The telegraph gave us the official count of the vote of Pennsylvania In the Presidential election, yesterday. It was a very heavy vote-80,000 larger than over before polled in the State. In Philadelphia, particularly, there Is much reason to suspect fraud, as it cast a larger vote than New York city. Hayes’ majority was nearly 18,000 in the State, and nearly that large iu Philadelphia. In the Congressional vote the Repub licans have 10,150 majority, the vote aggregating as follows: Republican, 379,488; Democratic, 369,338; scatter ing, 5,249. Owing to outrageous ger rymandering, the Democrats elect but ten out of twenty-seven mem bers. In eight Districts the Demo crats have 45,610 majority. Tho next Legislature will stand as follows: House, 83 Democrats and 118 Repub licans; Senate, 20 Democrats and 30 Republicans. -*■ ---♦-*• “H. W. G.”, the special correspon dent of the Atlanta Constitution at Tallahassee, after telegraphing the decrees of the Circuit Court mention ed In our dispatches yesterday, says: The Democrats are very much en couraged over their victory. The Republicans are badly demor alized. They did not suspect that proceedings had boon instituted un til papers of theCoqrt were served on them. They are in a flutter, and tho moro desperate are advising the Gov ernor that he is above tho roach of an injunction, and should disregard It. He says he has not made up his mind as to what eourse be will pursue. This is the situation; Tho Democrats havo the legal majority, and have an unas sailable defence of their majority. It now appears that they will get a fair hearing. There is no doubt that the Governor did intend to usurp tho functions of the board, and would have issued the certificates, ere this, had he imagined the Democrats were before the courts. Joe Brown is a very smart iau. In a report upon Louisiana affairs presented to Congress by William A. Wheeler, George F. Hoar and Wm. P. Frye, February 23, 1875, the action of the Returning Board of 1874, which was the same as the present one, is SeVcfely crlticised. Mail Carpenter’s doctrine that the function of that body is a .purely ministerial one, is pushed to the extreme limit. The report says: "It never could have been meant that this Board, of its own motion, sitting in New Orleans, at a distance from the place of voting, and without notice, could decide the right of per sons claiming to be elected. The Board took a different view of its powers, and proceeded to throw out the votes from many polls where they found intimidation and violence to have existed. The result was to defeat persons whom, on the returns, they should have declared to have been elected, and to elect persons who should not havo been declared elected.” The Presidential vote of Louisiana was rejected in 1873, for reasons which would be good now if the Kel logg government should alter the returns. Asa matter of interest at this time, we copy the wording of the protest of Mr. Carpenter, which was sustained by the Republican Senate. Mr. Carpenter himself supported Grant and Wilson. When Louisiana was catted, Mr. Carj>enter rose and said: “I object to the counting of the votes given tor U. S. Grant for Presi dent and Henry Wilson for Vice Pres ident, by the Electors of Louisiana, because there Is no proper return of votes cast by tbe Electors of the State of Louisiana, and because there is no State government in said State which is republteau iu form, and because no canvass or counting of the votes cast for Electors in the State of Lou isiana at the election held in Novem ber last had been made prior to the meeting of the Electors.” By the canvass which Mr. Carpen ter declared to be lacking, he meant a canvass of the means by which tbe so-called government of Louisiana had decided the eleetiou of the Grant and Wide on EUNMMw. P IKIJAWEXTARY UIIIICI LTIEM. Ex-Senator Gwinn, in the interview of which wo copied a report yester day, expressed tho opinion that when tho fraudulent votes of Florida and Louisiana are gpened the House will object “aud they must, be thrown out”; that tfils would leave neither candidate with a majority of tho rotes, and the House must proceed, i according to the Constitution, to elect a President. This is the Dem ocratic view, ail It is baaed upon a continued observance of the joint rule of 18(15 (tho 22d). There Is very good ground for Insisting that this rule is still In force, though not formally re-adopted by the pres ent Congress. It was passed by the concurrence of both houses, and as It related to a matter not belong ing to the ordinary business of a particular Congress, and In fact not coming at all before some Congress es, but occurring after the expira tion of their terms, it Is apparent that it must take the concurrent action of both houses to repeal it. Bueh concurrent action has not been had. The rule was adopted by the Congress of 1873, to regulate the counting of tho Presidential vote of 1870 (for there was no prior election to which It could apply), and of course it then took the shape of a law, to remain In force until repealed by the concurrence of the two houses which passed it. Whether it was a constitu tional rule or not is another question —a question for the courts to deter mine. Until repealed or pronounced unconstitutional, It would seem to be the rule once adopted for the counting of the Electoral votes of 1876, But the Republicans say that the President of the Senate, not recog nizing the rule, will refuse to enter tain an objection, aud refuse to sus pend the call in the event of the re tirement of a majority of the House of Representatives. This Interposes an obstacle to the carrying out of the programme outlined by Mr. Gwinu. We had been considering this ques tion befere tho appearance of Mr. Gwinn’s remarks, and regarded it of so much importance that in conver sations we requested the opinions upon it of each of the four gentlemen of this city who have been Represen tatives in Congress. They differ somewhat in their views, and we briefly present both opinions. One is that the two houses, and not the presiding officer, control the proceed- Ings of the joint session; that his is the ministerial duty of open ing the electoral votes; that the tellers of the two houses will do the counting or announcement of the votes; and that the judicial power of passing upon their regularity de volves upon the two houses; that the two bodies take no joint vote on any question, and either can suspend the count and retire. The other opinion is that the joint session will be held at a particular time in ac cordance with the requirement of the Constitution; that it must re main in session, either continuous ly or from day to day, until the work is completed which the consti tution imposes upon such session; that the presiding officer must de cide all questions of order; that the retirement of the Democratic mem bers of the House, though a majori ty of that body, would not be regard ed as a breaking of the joint session; that the law presumes that a majori ty of eaoh Houso remains to com plete the business commenced, apd no notico would be taken of the re tirement of the Democratic members. It follows that if the Democratic House should pursue the course indi cated in one of these opinions, and the Republican Senate Bhould be governed by the other view of the Sueatlon. there would be two Presi ents declared elected—one by the joint session (or what remaiued of it), and the other by the House. The huppl? or Hogs. On account of the alarming preva lence of the disease among swine in this State, and iu lowa and Illinois, which is popularly termod tho “bog cholera,” it is difficult to form any idea which is approximately correct in regard to the number to be mar keted, as compared with the hog crop of last year. From the best informa tion at present obtainable, we incline to the opinion that hogs that are marketed early will be likely to bring the most remunerative prices the present season. That, however, de pends, to some extent at least, upon the weather, and the prospects of the foreign demand, and the extent to which tho hog cholera prevails in the sections where it now prevails. Far mers will, of course, be inclined to feed as long as possible, aud it is not improbable, therefore, that the sup ply in December and January will be greater than it is during the present month. Many incline to the opinion that although weights will be light iu the southwest, yet there are in number—especially in Nebraska— nearly twice as many hogs as there were in that State at this date last year. It is evident that packers will proceed rather cautiously at the opening of the'packing season, not withstanding money seems to be plenty in bank, at fair rates, and available on first-class security. From the general outlook we in cline to the opinion that the present season will boa reasonably favorable one for both tho farmers and the packers, although a great deal of uncertainty exists in the minds of the latter class In reference to the proba ble foreign demand.— St. Louis Jour, of Com. The New York Tribune makes some remarkable statements about the money bet iu the election “pools” in New York city. We copy its ar ticle elsewhere. Its proposition that the Commissioners of Charities should seize and appropriate the money is a strange one to come from a paper of the Tribune's boasted square dealing. The Graphic sec onds the Tribune’s motion. We re gard it as significant that the propo sition to seize the money thus de posited comes from papers that sup ported Mr. Hayes. Does it not indi cate that they expect their party friends to lose the money in any event? ——————— ♦ —■ What is the use of an election, if election does not elect? rOYDKVtfKD (-F.OKt.IA NKWM.

Tho Fort Valley Mirror mentions as a mysterious fact that some who partook of tho cus tard were not poisoned. Tlic Florida Flection Faw. The News and Courier gives the law of the Florida Returning Board. It says that from an examination of the Florida Statutes (chapters 1,625 aud 1,868) it appears that the powers of tho Board of State Canvassers there are considerably lurger than those of the South Carolina Board. As in that State, the votes are first counted in public at the noils, and then publicly canvassed by the coun ty board of canvassers. This county board, however, consists, not of com missioners appointed by the Gov ernor, but of the County Judge, the County Clerk and a Justice of the Peace. The result of this canvass is recorded in his office by the Clerk, and copies sent, one to the Governor and one to the Secretary of State. Section 4, chapter 1,868, regulates the canvass by the State Board of the returns received by the Secretary of State. It reads as follows : "On the thirty-fifth day after the holding of any general or special election for any State officer, mem ber of the Legislature or Representa tive in Congress, or sooner if the re turns shall have been received from the several counties wherein elec tions shall have been held, the Secre tary of State, Attorney General and the Comptroller of Publio Accounts, or any two of them, together with any otner member of the Cabinet who may be designated by them, shall meet at the office of the Secretary of State pursuant to notice to be given by the Secretary of State, and form a Board of State Canvassers, and pro ceed to canvass the returns of said election, and determine and declare who shall have been elected to any suoh office, or as such member, as shown by such returns. If any such returns shall be shown or shall ap pear to be so irregular, false or fraud ulent that the Board shall be unable to determine the true vote for any such office or member, they shall so certify, and shall notiuolude such re turn in their determination aud dec laration, aud the Secretary of State shall preserve and file in his office all suoh returns, together with such other documents and papers as may have been received by him or by said Board of Canvassers. The said Board shall make and sign a certifi cate. containing in words written at full length the whole number of votes given for each office, the number of votes given for each person for etich office, and for members of the Legis lature, and therein declare the re sult, which certificate shall be recor ded in the office of the Secretary of State in a book kept for that purpose, and the Secretary of State shall cause a certified copy of such certificate to be published once in one or more newspapers printed at the seat of gov ernment.” Words iu italics apply to members of the Legislature and Governor as well as to State officers. Nothing is said as to the votes for Electors for the offices of President and Vice President, but as all the officers com posing the Board of State Canvassers are Republicans, it is probable that should the decision come before them they will go to any length allowed by public opinion at the North. Gov. Hawley, who was defeated for Congress in Connecticut, gives, in his paper, the Hartford Courant , a part ing kick at Zach Chandler. He says: "Tho Republican party has had many loads to carry during the cam paign, not the least of which was the presence of Mr. Zachariah Chandler as Chairman of the National Com mittee. * * * * He obtained the position against the wishes of the best men of the party, and by secur ing committee men from the far Western States and Territories, and from the Southern States. His pres ence undoubtedly cost the party very many votes.” Springer’s Opera House. j PIEKBK mtSAXB Master. One Viglil Only, V'ovembor SIT L Eg ... o—— .
