IB- -t- We have paid in these columns more than once that the honest and fair vote of Lousiana and Florida was for Tilden, and They received and counted tho vote cast, and when tho returns were opened an-1 counted it turned out that this party, who did everything In its own way. hud been emphatically leleaicd. The highest Tilden elector over the lowest Hayes elector lied S,9h majority. The total vote of the Mate was liiO,ni0. It was too obvi ous for dispute that this result was a serious disappointment to the administration, hence the straits to which the Itettirnitifr Hoard was put to reverse the dc-c!s-on of the people. As anticipated bv those who had witnessed the 1 proceedings of the Iteturnlnir Hoard at former elections, it reversed the decision made by the ! vote not mi II v cast and declared the State for that it never could be, on any principle of , Uovernor Hayes by over 4.500 majority. It James W. Nye, formerly United States Senator from Nevada, died at White Plains, X. Y., ou last Monday week. He was a n itivo of the State in which he died, and was a man of "infinite jest and humor," being regarded as tho leading wit of tho Senate during his term of cflice. He had a peculiar facility for borrowing money from Horace Greeley ar.d never returning it. Apropos of this peculiarity it is said that when President Lincoln was in trouLlo about a successsor or Secretary of the Treasury Chase, who had been transferred .o the office of Chief Justice, Gieeley wrote to Lincoln and told him to appoint "Jim Nye," of Nevada, for the reason that from his (Greeley's) experience, Nye could bor iot more money and pay less back than any cither man in the United States, and hence he thought that he (Nye) would be the right mau in the right placo as Secre taiy of he Treasury. But Lincoln, railing to see it. in that light, appointed Win. P. Pessenrien, at that lime a Senator from Maine, as tho successor of Ch.se, Peace, ray we, to the ashes of Jan es W. Nye, who is kindly ivnd affect ionately remembered by his hosts of personal friends all over the country. q--.-l Tiir Legislature of this Stato convened at Ilnirisburg on last Tuesday. Both 1 branches, are Republican, and as heretofore ' nre nn lcr the political control of Simon ! Cameron and his corrupt henchmen. It is theieforo only necessary to state that ' New my or, of Allegheny ronnly, was nom ! inated by the Republican caucus as Presi- i dont pro ic.;n of the Senate, of which Hon. ! John Latta, Democrat, of Greensburg, who is the Lieutenant Governor of the State, is the active presiding officer. Mr. New mjer will as a consequence be more orna- i mental than useful in his office of Presi- : dont pro te:i. The Speaker of tho House i E. R-ed Mover, of Bradford county, and of cour.se all the subordinate officers in both branches are Republicans. What the Leg- I i!ature thus organized will do, or what it will neglect to do, remains yet to be seen ; but it is hoped and demanded by the tax- ! payers of the State that the cession will ' bo very far short of one hundred day. It is a saying worthy of all commendation that "the world is governed too mnch." Let the present Legislature remember this and also not forget that the fewer laws that may be passed the better, and that tho peiplo of tho whole State will endorse and sustain them in the discharge of all their duties, if iceU perform?!. . It is now definitely settled that tho Hnyes electoral ticket in South Carolina was carried by a mnjourity of about GOO, and that Wado . II a ir.pl on and tho entire Democratic State ticket was elected by a mnc'i larger ninj rity. We gather this fiom tho report of the snb-Congiessional ftnnmitteo, consisting of Messrs. Sayler, Abbott and Lawrence, the two first named bitig Dem-erat9 and the last a Republi can, lifl completed their wot k at Colum bia, tbe cnpjtal of the State, on Saturday last. Tlii report must and will be accepted as conclusive of the vote in that State, and is accounted for by the well known fct heretofore stated by us, that while large muiibor of the colored voters supported ilia Democratic State ticket in order to get the control of the tftatc out of the hands of the carpet bag crew, or' which Gov. Cham berlain is the bead and fionf, tbey never. justice and right, declared against him. We also admitted time and again that Hayes had receiver! a majority of the votes in South Carolina, but always claimed that Wado Hampton had carried the same Stale for Governor. and honest count of the vote, and that the people of the United States would submit to in thing less. This is true, but this dec laration was mane by Grant for a special such a. wronir without c.illinir for the interposi tion of eomo pnwpr to avert its etfects; but wc were told that the judiciary of the State won Id not Interpose, and that the decisions of the lteturninif Hoard mtit be accepted like the laws of theMedesnnd Persians, as nnchatiirc able. It was conceded on ail sides that the to tal vote cast was Iciral. and yet the Hoard, to Grant says he wants a fair brin abort the result it hns announced, had lo riixfrMnchisp nvpr tn.POJt of these lei?l voters. Justification for Itiis action of the Hoard is snusrlit for in nilcx-ations of rlot, tumults and other acts of violence, producing such measure of intimidation as had deterred an equal or a iHritrr number of Republicans Irom attending the election.

The colored Keptiblicnns, beinir usually in iho majority and haviuir the countenance of all the Slate. Federal and election oftleers and soldiers, were not easily intimidated, and they usually voted as they desired; whereas the colored Conserva tives having less support were not so courage ous. There Is a R-rowlnir inclination amonfr the test class of colored people the taxpayers to abandon the Uc-puVilican party, especially the State parly, too obvious to be concealed." At the conclusion or the reading of the which time tho Committee is expected to report, that the heretofore uniform practice will be adhered to and that Tilden and Hendricks, in obedience to the overwhelm ing voice of the American people, will be inaugurated, as they have a right to bo, as President and Vice President of the Uni ted States. " Vox populi, vox Dei,11 or in enncmon language, "Tho voice of the peo ple is the voice of God." -C-i The N. Y. Herald has been examining the precedents in regard to tho count of the electoral vote. It appears that as early as 1773, when Washington was unanimous ly elected, the IIouso ordered a committee to join a similar one from tho Senate "to ascertain and report a method of examining tho votes for President and Vice Presi dent," thus plainly asserting the right of Congress lo scrutinize the vote. The Her ald concludes from its examination that "the two House have never surrendered their right lo examine the electoral vote, and that the Ptesident of the Senato has never exercised nor claimed the powor to determine the validity of a State's vole." "In no case has the vole of a State been counted where either bouse has objected." This coincides with the view wo have pre viously expressed. presented j Adams Dan'l Or-tselman.

When Steward discovered this mail he called on the others to stay and help iinn. Only u woman and one man. apparently ill, stayed to assist Imn. however, anu Steward, with their aiu, succeeded in getting- ins mau out, thus res cuing every man under his chag'. Young Nusbatim of New York, who was injured in the bead, is dead. No other deaths are report ed among llie wounded brought to Cleveland. WHAT 8UBVIVOK9 SAY. Thirty of the survivors, many of them wound ed, were brought to Cleveland. Tncy relate many interesting details of the catastrophe. Among the rest is Charles S. Carter, of Brook lyn, N. Y. He was in the rear drawing--room car, piayinjr cards Willi two others, Emanuel Shepherd, of New York, the other u ci ranger. Suddenly he heard tho glus of the car windows begin to crackle, nud the car plunged to the bottom of the ravine. The stranger was killed instantly. Mr. Shepherd had his leg broken, Hnd it was amputated this morning. Mr. Car ter was comparatively unhurt. H.- says that the f rent, of tlie car was much lowe r than the rear, and that the llames in the front began to eat their way upward and spread with great rapidity. He turned to the assistance ot Mr, S.iepliTd. and with Src-nt dillieul'y succeeded in getting him mil, the broken le-g impeding their advance. Whe-n Shepherd was fairly out. Carter returned to the assistance of a. woman who was calling for help at the front of the car. He got her out, and as she wasquite :hins ly clad he gave her Ins overcoat. After reach ing a hotel he found himself severely bruised in seve-ral places. In the great peril of the hour a man ruslie-d down to the scene of (tie disaster ready te help in rescuing. He saw a woman struggling for lite and went to her ns-sistam-e. He carried her by main force to solid le-e, and then, urged by thecriesof the mother, went back ;o rebcue licr daughter a sweet child of three or lour years. The treacherous wood in splintering had caught the child in its grap and tlit? fire completed the horrible work. The man was compelled to see the child enveloped in ti. imes, and to hear her "help tne mother" ringing out In nn agony of death. In a moment she was lost, swe pt up by the sharp tongue of tire while the mother, in helpless agony, fell to the enrt h in a deadly swoon. There was on board a family named Bennett, on their way from New York State to Jefferson, Ashtabula co jnty. The father an 1 toother got out of the wreck and the children were only savd l y being tossed from the arms of one man to nno her nvt r the pile of burning wood. One of the four children was seriously injured and nil wero sliglnly scratched. This morning :he mother, who w.is euriente, gave birth to n child, the event being hastened by the excite ment she hs.d undergone. It seems thnt the train hn.i Just nbotit covered the bridg-e when it tell, aa fragmi-nts lie across the ravine louc-hixg the bust' of the abutments on either side. When ono stands at the foot of the r.ivine mid looks up it j-jc.ihhii utter im possibility that any in;in could taken leap from so great hetghth and live, yet a number es caped ceunparativcly unharmed, urn! had it not be. en for tho fire probably not one-third would have been lost. Tho waler in the creek is only about thrco feet deep, land it Is thought by soinethat when it is dragged a number ot bodies may be found. A stock drover is another witness as to the rapidity witb which the fire did its work. He says lie was one of the first exit of the wreck, ami that Ave minutes had not elapsed before the whole thing was aflame. A special train, balded with some of tlie in jured, left .'Ashtabula, at it quarter past eight o clot k thia morning, consist ing'of an express, passe'tiffcr and palace i-nt. In tne latter the beds had all been made, and in them were placed the worst of tho victims those K-ing able to bit up being accummodutud in the front car. A.

FLYING FOK LIFE. One of the Sisters, who was the flirt to hear the alarm, said that there was a great deal of excitement all over the building, and she saw a number jump from the windows when the stairways were cut ofTby the lii7Ucs. No one bad time to secure their clothing, all being forced t escape in their night dresses. They were out in the snow in their bare ft?t and many suffered terri bly. She feared fatal rebults in many cases from the severe fchocks. Those who were burned were on the upper floors, and it is supposed that all escape was cut off at the time they were aroused. Tlie excitement in the city over tho terrible calamity has been intense. A number of places of busi ness have been closed aud every exertion is being put forth to aid aud make com fortable the sufferers. Tlie bodies of the dead at the Coroner's office presented a most horrible spectacle. In many cases the bodies were so badly charred that they bore but a very slight resemblance to human beings. Here and there could be seen bodies minus legs and arms, while in one instance the head of a body of a child was completely burned off. The sulTei'Tigs of those burned must, have been awful, as most ef the bodies were found iu a cramped position, as if tbey had died in agony.

There is no spirit of tncnance in these popular assemblies. The Ieople do not need to employ any such method when they choose simply to assert their sovereignty. Violence is tho natural threat of conspirators and guilty men, and these meetings propose to nip it iu the bud. exciting controversy mid nortendintr ilkn.irH tor which the Constitution fails to provide. The elect ion of President ami Vice President of th United Slates is a high and solemn duty of tho people or the several States. To at tempt lo evade obed ience to the popular will by any e iTort to distort the meaning of the Constitution or the interpretation of law to seek to set. up harriers against the f.ice of this dec; I reel will is substituting revolutionary ex pedients for constitutional methods. The Sennt and Houe of Kepresentnttre" of the raited States have by the Const itution the sole and exclusive powerto settlenll questions which relate to the validity nt tho electoral votes of the several Stntea. In one event, the Oontitiition gives the House of ttepresenta tives the power to elect a President. We therefore earnestly invoke from voti every effort eognlrible by the law in tlie'ex ccuti .n and support or the constitutional method by which is to t o determined who ore the lawfully elected President and Vice Presi. lent of the t'nited Slates.

Harrar, who shot W illiani R. Hess, in April last, has just been convicted of murder in the secoud decree by a Philadelphia jury. The circumstances of the case convey a sad history. Some fifteen years ago, Har rar found Hess, then a boy, homeless and friendless, banging around a Philadelphia hose house. He gave him a home iu his family, fouud him employment, aud treated bim as he treated bis own children. But be was warming an adder. The boy grew to manhood, and in the course of years re paid the kindness of bis benefactor by se ducing his wife and alienating the affec tions of his childien. The evidence of the guilt of the woman and the ingrate be bad nursed and cherished was palpable and be yond dispute. Harrar was driven from home, a blighted man, disgraced and dis honored, ilis children turned against bim, instigated by Hess and their mother. They passed bim in the street without a sign of recognition, or if they showed a conscious ness of bis presence it was by opprobrious words or a sneer of contempt. Meanwhile, Hess held the fort and was tbe ostensible beat! of the family. Di iven to desperation by the magnitude of his misery, Harrar walked into bis wretched home one morning. Hess was there, finishing his toilet to go on duty as a policeman. He saw the man whose household gods be bad shattered, but he showed no guilt, no embarrassment, no re morse. The chi'-dreii were at the breakfast tablo ; the guilty mother was standing a few feet from her paramour. Hess, turn ing his head toward Harrar, asked, "What is that damned loafer doing here ?' Har tar's reply was a shot fiom his revolver, and Hess fell, mortally wounded. He lived a few bouts long enough lo make his will and leave what property he possessed to the partner of his guilt. Harrar surrendered himself to a magistrate and has had his trial, witb tho result, as above stated. Legally, he has committed murder, but tbousnnds or good men and women all over the lane! will absolve him H-oni crime. It would be a righteous act to pardon him, for the law has been vindicated by the verdict and no wrong can be done to society by al lowing poor Harrar to live out the remnant or his unhappy life in undisturbed freedom.

CocNTiJta Tun Ei.kctoualVote. TIow, as far back as 178D, the electoral vote was countcel in the presence of the two bouses of congress iu accordance with the consti tution is shown by the following: On the 6th of April of that year, twelve senators being pieseut, John Langd.m, of New Hampshire, was elected president of that body "for the sole purpose of opening and counting the votes for President and Vice Presidentof the United States." A message announcing the presence of a quoium and the election of a president for the purpose above named, was sent to the house of rep resentatives. The house then repaired to the senate chamber, where in the-presence of the two houses, tho vote for President and Vice President were examined by Mr. Patterson, or New Jersey, acting as teller on the part or the senate, and Mr. Parker, of Virginia, and Mr. Heister, uf Pennsyl vania, acting as tellers on tho part of the house, and the president of the senate de clared the result to bo that Georsre Wash ington was unanimously elected "President and John Adams Vice President of the United States, This is the only instance in which this exact course was pursued, but it shows that it was recognized from tho first, that the two house must act in the count, and bv 6uch agents as they should appoint and it was not recognized that the Vice President or president of the senate had any duties in the matter of counting tho votes. The New York Journal of Commerce, in answer to a correspondent, says : The first record we have of diphtheria was of its ravages in liome in a. d. 3o0. It was an epidemic in Holland in 13.T7 ; in Paiis in 1576 ; in Naples in IT18 ; and more ex tensivcly in France in 1818 and lS.Ti. It prevailed as a severe epidemic in England in tbe years IS08, '59 and '60. The Amer ican Philosophical Society (voL 1) notices its first appearance in this country in 1771, hut it was not generally recognized then or for many years afterward, being confound ed with membranous croup, putrid sore throat and similar diseases. It was noticed here in the latter part of 1&50, Imt it was not fully and widely known until the early part of 1837.
