the ballot in the South has been corrupt

COVETING THE ELECTOILA.I. VOTE.
The Democrats in Congress press
ed the adoption _of the electoral
count•joint rule
.until they saw they
could not rely upon a quorum, there
being a number of their partizans not
yet in attendance, and the Republi
cans having- determined to prevent
the obnoxious legislation. Baffled
-; -
by the determined and presistent ac
tion of the opposition, ;Ind- at the.
suggestion of the Chairman of an im
portant Committee, the measure was
reluctantly postponed until after the
holidnO, with the threat that then.
the struggle would be renewed, when
the - presence of , absent Democrats
would give greater assurance of suc
cess.
t is difficult to understand why
be Jfe:nocrats in Congress are so
anxious to secure the passage of this
joint rule. It cannot be possible that
any one. has- the slightest thoughtrof
contesting the election of Gen. 'Gatt: ,
rtzt.b., Foriunfitely for the peace of
the conntry, the vote is so decisive,
and has been so carefully indicated,
that there is no difference of opinion
as to what the result will be, when
the returns are opened, and the elec
, toral votes counted and declared. Is
it possible that there are designs which
are not manifest, and points in - view
which the Democrats are 'not willing
to diael - ose ? Relne — n - lbe - rinethe itt;
olutionary disposition whiCh a cer
tain action of the party has manifett
ed, there is good ground for appre-
hension that there. yet lingera a dis
position to create disturbance by a
disregard of the popular will as 'ex
pressed at the late, election; This
element in the Democratic party
though small numerically, has always
been able to coerce -the more honest
and conservative of the organization
into the support of measures which
were distasteful and obnoxiots.
Mr. SPRINGER has said, in - late
interview; that the Democracy will
not attend a joint convention to wit
ness the opening of the returnann;
less a joint rule is adopted giving
Congress power over the subject.
That, is unless -the count shall be
made in the manner and form as pro
posed by the Democracy there shall
be no count. That his tbreat ; is occa
sion for alarm we do not believe.
The Republicans will very properly
prevent the passage of the joint rule,
the adoption of which would make it
possible for the SPRINGERS of the
'Democratic party -to throw out the
electoral vote of any State, and plunge
the country into anarchy and danger.
When the time' comes, the returns
will be opened, the votes counted,
and GARFIELD and ARTHUR declared
elected.

PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
PIIILADiIirIfIA, December m, 1650.
In the early days of December the
stores that deaf in;Christmasgoods begrui
to display the holiday attractions to tempt
purchasers and deplete their purses. The
"early birds," whp , take time by the
forelock, began thek shopping excursions
weeks ago, and the number has increased
daily up to the present tine. The digits,'
is certainly very alluring, from the finer
qualities-of dress goods to the cliMming
eccentricities of bric-a-brac; from jewilry
and silver and plated sets to artistic-ally
decorated services of china and porcelain;
from fine editions of books for grown per
ions and pictorial books for the younger
generation to • the daintiest Christmas
cards and the innumerable devices in toys.
From some of these or many others offer:
ed presents may be selected to suit all
tastes,, whether tokens of affettion or re
membrance, of in friendly recognition of
sympathy with the deserving. Above all
dtber seasons, Christmas is the season for
liberal giving, for exchanging courtesies,'
for open-handed liberality, and for nets
of benevolence and charity. This com
munity having a large admixture of the
German element, recognizes with great
faithfulness the duties and the opportuni
nitics Of the Christmas holidays: The
storekeepers hail it as, a season when cus
tom comes to their shops with welcoMe
profit - a. Their windows are rainbowed
With-the gaudiest fabrics, and articles of,
"bigotry and virtue" (sas.Mrs. Parting
ton would say)nre to be found upon their
counters.. For years there , has not been
such an exhillition of rare and costly
goods as is offered this season. And there
seems to be ao end to purchasers and no
limit to theirexpenditures. It is _almost
impossible' to get near the counters at the
principal stakes, so great is the throng ;
and as for attention, why, by patient ,
waiting one may perhaps succeed in se
curing fora brief. moment the serviCes of
the overworked attendants._ In the mar
l_ket houses and the street-corners may be
purchased Chriatmasatrees, and it would
seem is if there 'are enough offered to

a funeral pyre was burning, and exer

during which several of , the studen s were
captured, a number of them with beads

bled and made fit subjects for the hospital
in which the medical students operate.
A bystander went off with a bullet in his
htg. The rush lasted for an hour or.two,
until the Sophomore classy retired' under

Matters of General Interest.
A Singular Casa of Starvation
A singular case of suic'de by star•
vation, which - occurred near . Lodi,
Bergen County, New 'Jersey, last
week, has just been made public.
Martha Tertine, tipinster, aged 69
years, died Of starvation—her syrn.
deliberate act. For seven weeks pre
vious to her death she partook of no
food, drink or medicine save a mouth
ful of water' taken at long intervals.
On the 18th of September last the
widowed mother of the deceased,
aged nearly $O, was stricken with
paralysis, the second or third attack,
which terribly shocked the daughter,
who immediately took to her bed.
During the next four weeks and .only
undereoercion she accepted a trifle;
'of fobd. Oa Saturday, October.lB,
she tasted the last food which passed
her lips, and then only two or three
teaspoonfuls. This was just - seven
weeks previous to her 'death. She
was a 'large woman, and apparently
lost little flesh during.. her long fast.
The case is regarded by physicians
as a most extraordinary one and. is
attracting &great deal of attention,
she having out-Tannered Tanner by
nine days. The' woman, though not
regarded as an insane person, had
been for manfyears eccentric in her
habits.

was made early this ,motVng to
wreck a train on the Wiscofiem Cen

supposed, was directed at the eifiress
train reaching here et' three
or the pay car, which. had • alinady
passed. A number of loose rails were
placed across the track in a lonely
spot. Fortunately a wild train was
the first to reach the spotiand strik
ing the Obstruction the engine was
thrown from the track, but kept the
road-bed. A .brakeman was imme
diately sent back to tag the coming
express train. A short distance thick
the brakeman was accosted by a man
who asked if the pay car had ; passed,
and being informed that it had, pull
ed a revolver and demanded the
brakemans money. He 'gave the
robber about forty dollars. Simulta
neously. with . the -first demand two
more men appeared on the other side
Of the tr .ck from some underbrush.
After the robbery all disappeared,
