THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1877.
PRESIDENTIAL.
As ttatcd last week the count of the Elec
toral vote l.y the joint convention of Congress
wont on without protest or even grumble
until Florida was reached, when objections
were made and it was handed over to the
Electoral Commission for decision as to
whether it should be counted and for whom it
-houM bo counted. The commission al'ter
full argument on both sides decided on the
5th inst. that it should be counted for Hayes
nnd Wheeler. The joint convention met
a?ain on last Saturday at 1 o'clock to receive
the dccitOQ of the commission and go on
with the count of the Electoral vote, but
when the decision was rendered oljection was
made, when tho two Houses separated for
nndividual action on the decision. The
Senateapprovcd of the decision and adjourned
over until Monday, and the lower House
without acting on the decision adjourned to
the same time.
The House on Monday voted to not ap
prove of the decision of Electoral Commis
sion, but the act appointing the commission
only requiring that its decision shall be ap
proved of by one or the other of the two
Houses of Congress, and the Senate having
voted to approve of said decion, Florida
was therefore declared counted by the Presi
dent of die Joint Convention for Hayes and
Y heeler.
'The counting of the electoral vote was
then resumed in order, and proceeded har
moniously until Louisiana was reached, when
o' jjL-tions were made and filed, and the case
2i turtle up was handed over for judgment
r.nd deciion to the Electoral Commission.
The Democrats in this case are represented
ns counsel by Field, Cambell, Trumbull,
Carpenter, Merrick, Iloa-iley and Green;
vhile the Republicans are represented by
Evarts, Matthews, Shellaberger and Stough
.ton. Senator McDonald and Representa
tive Jcwks on the part of the Democrats
pivseuteJ the case to the Commission on
behalf of the oljectors, while Senator
II' v,' and Mr. Hurlburt presented the case
'a t!;e part of the Republicans. The case
after argument by counsel representing the
respective sides will be decided by the Com
mission, but not, probably, before the last
of this week or even the first of nest
The SJecisSoii as to Florida.
By a vote of eight to seven, the Electoral
Commission has decided that the votes ol
Florida should be counted for Hayes and
Whoe'er. Tho formal report to this effect
was made up and sent to the President of the
Senate. It was signed by Justices Bradley,
Miller and Strong, by Senators Morton,
E imun Is and Fre'iughuysen, and by Messrs.
Garfield and Hoar. This decisiou was not
unexpected, because it follows logically from
the preliminar' decision as to the admission
of evidence. When the Commission con
cluded that it would consider only the con
tents of the packages opened by the Presi
dent of the Senate, and sent by the two
bouses to the Commission, it was clear that
tbe votes of Florida would ultimately be
c; UT-.ted for Hajvs. We have no doubt that
r like result must have been reached if the
iH:imision bad gone into the question of
Cue !t
ality of the action of the Florida Poard
1 Ml ,.! 1
lanvassc", ztii sail more sureiy it it nau
r-" ::c! into the question of the popular vote.
Ii, had no authority, no power, no semblance
of excuse, for doing anything of this kind,
ix'.il it so decided. Confining itself wholly to
the returns, the decision as to the Electoral
vote was reached, not more certainly, as we
believe, but more rapidly.
J Now it appears that the decision of
Mr. Justice Bradley in the Florida case
was based upon the unreversed mand.ite of
the Supreme Court, delivered by the late
Cbiof Justice Chase, declaring the acts of a
deicfo official, although ineligible, perfect
ly valid. Under this view the votes of
ineligible electors must be counted, and the
only legal way of invalidating them was to
have proved ineligibility before the official
act is performed. This process was acces
sible in all of the contested cases, but was
not availed of by the contestants in due
ime. This neglect bare action now. With
more or less indirection this rule will govern
the cases of the Louisiana Returning Board,
;ind the alleged ineligible electors for that
State as well as that of the alleged ineligible
elfcctor for Oregon, so that it is plain that
the electoral votes of those Commonwealths
will bo counted for Hayes and Wheeler.

Personal. !
Last Friday, vre had the pleasure of taking
by the hand our old friend, Mr. C. Kem
nierer, of Vineland, N. J. We regreted to
learn that ho has been confined to the house
for the past month by sickness. He passed
through town on a visit to the old homestead,
and friends in Hamilton.
Mrs. Ella Fillmore, daughter of Hon. R. S.
Staples, who has been visiting her parents
for some months past, left town yesterday
for her home at Laramie, Wyoming Territory.
William Keller, son of George B., a
former resident of this Borough, and at one
time an employe at the Democrat office,
made us a call, on Friday last.
Hon. S. S. Dreher, of this place, presided
on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, in
the Northampton County Courts, at Easton,
in place of Judge Myers.
George E. Wolf, of Scranton, was in town,
last Saturday, visiting his grand-father,
Hon. S. G. Throop, who is confined to the
bed.
Mrs. Jeannette Hollinshead returned home
from a visit to Philadelphia, on Tuesday last.
She is in the enjoyment of good health.
Mr. John Boys, who has been confined to
the house since last fall is failing very
rapidly.
We are pleased to learn that James H.
Stroud, is improving as rapidly as possible.
There is no improvement in the condition
of Hon. S. G. Throop.
Let This be your Aim. "Early to
bed and early to rise makes a mar. healthy,
wealthy and wise," is an old Persian pro
verb, and only applies, however, to that
class of men who, when they et up in the
morning resolve to do something for them
selves and humanity for that day. To do
this they should reflect over the course of
action for the previous day, and cut out
the evil and resolve to do more good.
With such a resolution few men can fail.
They leave their breakfasts with light
hearts, strong wills, and a determination to
do right, and in doing this they should
endeavor to keep clear of ruts. If they
are engaged in business they want cus
tomers, or persons who will buy their
wares. If they have been doing business
in a narrow and contracted wa', necessarily,
their returns have been small, but if on
the other hand they have dealt liberally
with the public, their incomes have been
increased. Now one of the best ways to
increase business, and we refer to many
instances in this borough, such houses as
National Hall of Fashion, New York Store,
Philadelphia Store. Corner Store, Auctiou
Store, City Hall of Fashions, M. R. Brown,
Simon Fried, Peter S. Williams.
J. .II. McCarty &. Sons, Dreher & Bro.,
E. P. Hollinshead, Walton & Wintcrmute,
E. K. Wyckoff, J. 0. Saylor, G. Sanford,
Samuel Hood, and others, who advertise
their goods and largely profit by the same.
Do the other business men in Stroudsburg
suppose that these houses would so per
sistently advertise if it did not pay them ?
Because it pays them is the only reason
they do it. What is true in respect to
merchants' advertising holds to all other
kinds of business.
Sad Affair. On Wednesday, February

Decision of the Commission.
Electoral Commission, Washing
ton, Feb. 1), A. D. 1S77. To the Pre
dent of the Senate of the United State
presiding in the meeting of the two houses
of Congress under the act of Congress, en
titled l,An act to provide for and regulate
the counting of the votes for President and
Vice President, and the decision of ques
tions arising thereon, for the term com
mencing March 4, A. D. 1S77": The Elec
toral Commission mentioned in said act
having received certain certificates and pa
pers purporting to be certificates, and pa
pers accompanying the s une, of the elec
toral votes from the State of Florida, and
the objections thereto, submitted to it un
der said act, now reports that it has duly
considered the same pursuant to said act,
and has decided and docs hereby decide, j
that the votes of Frederick C. Humphreys.
Charles H. Pearce, William II. Ilolden and
Thomas W. Long, named in the certificate
of M. L. Stearns, Governor of said State,
which votes are certified by said persons,
as appears by the certificate submitted to
the commission as aforesaid, and marked
No. 1 hy said commission, and herewith
returned, are the votes provided for by the
Constitution of the United States, and that
the same nr lawfully to be counted as there-
m ceruueu name . rour voics ior
Rutherford B. Hayes, of the Stat? of Ohio,
for President ; and four votes for William
. Wheeler, of the State of New York, for
Vice President. The commission also has
decided, and hereby decides and reports,
that the four persons nrst before named
were duly appointed electors in and by said
State of Florida. The ground of this deci
sion stated briefly as required by said act,
is asfollows : I hat it is not competent un
der the Constitution and law as it existed
at the date of the passage of said act to go
into evidence aliunde the papers opened by
the President of the Senate in the presence
of the two houses, to prove that other per
sons than those regularly certified to by
the Governor of the State of Honda in and
according to the determination of their ap
pointment by the Board of State Canvassers
of said State prior to the time required for
the performance of their duties had been
appointed electors, or by counterproof to
show that they had not, and that all pro
ceedings of the courts or acts of the Legis
lature or of the Executive of Florida, sub
sequent to the counting of the votes of the
electors on the prescribed day, are inad
missible for any such purpose. As to the
objection made to the eligibility of Mr.
Humphreys, the commission is of opinion
that, without reference to the question of
the effect of the vote of an ineligible elec
tor, the evidence does not show that he
held the office of shipping commissioner on
the day when the electors were appointed.
The commission has also decided, and docs
hereby decide and report that, as a conse
qenoe of the foregoing, and upon the grounds
before stated, neither of the papers pur
porting to be certificates of the electoral
votes of said State of Florida numbered 2
and 3 by the commission, and herewith re
turned, are certificates of the votes provided
for by the Constitution of the United States,
and that they ought not to be counted as
such.

Proposed Marriage Law.
In a numer of the States of the Union a
law is upon the statute books making it
obligatory upon all parties desirous of
getting married to make application in due
form to the clerk of the Orphans' Court
m their county of their intention, and
secure a license before having the ceremony
performed by a minister of the Gospel.
This is done to give publicity to such mar
riages, to keep a record of the marriages
and for proper protection of the minister
called upon to unite the couple in the rites
of matrimony. The intention of the law
has so well subserved public morals, and
prevented obnoxious joining together of
persons of the opposite sex, that its passage
is demanded almost everywhere. A bill
making it neccssay before a marriage servic
can be performed, to procure a licese from
the clerk of the Orpans Court, is now
pending in the Legislature of this State.
Its enactment will provoke no little com
ment by those yet free from the marriage
tie, and its provisions prove an interesting
study to them in this aud other sections of
the State.
