It is i . The Charlesti)n iret'i and Courier of the 13th in h- long and exhaustive article upon the powers and - duties of the election cdnva'siuy bonrd in South Carolina concludes : The summary- of our examination of the law is as follows: 1. That the County Canvasser are mere ministerial officers, whoBe only duly is to count the votes, and send a certified 'statement, wit h the poll lit, returns and all pxpers relating to the election, to the Governor and Secreta ry of State. 2. That there being but four officer legally alive, who constitute the Board of State Can voters?, undof whom three are candidates for offices to be passed upon by themselves, they are excluded by the terms of the Constitution froin doing any other ct than the mert ministerial one of certifying to the correctness of the County Canvassers' .statements. 3. Thab-even if there was a Board ol State Canvassers, competent to hear and decide protests or contests, they cannot hear or decids in regard to members of Congress, the General Assembly, Governor or Lieutenant- Governor. 4. That the want of a Board of State Canvassers leaves the statement of the County Canvassers as the official de claration. , That agreeably tosuch statements by the County Canv wsers, "the person or persons who enaii receive tne men est number of votes shall be declared elected." to that element which was disloyal to the confederacy during the war. The governor's record and every true North Carolinian was proud of it was attempted to be held up to the scorn and indignation of the people, and calumny, malice and unblushing lies were resorted to, and as Judge Settle remarked in his campaign How and When the Vote is Counted ' in Louiiaaa. Tbe anxiety of the public to know when and how the vote is to be count eu in .Louisiana is natural, irom an anticle in the New York World on another-subject we copy the following paragraphs. Let it 16 premised that an act of Congress provides that the Governor of each State shall inform the presidential electors of their elec tion, and that Kellogg the villian is the Governor who is t perform this duty in Louisiana. We now quote from the World: Louisiana has said in her statutes that elections for these electors '"slial be held and conducted in the manner make returns thereof, which returns the "supervisors," wiihin two das after the voting, must, at the court house of each parish, in tbe presence of two witnesses, compile (not count, publicly proclaim, and declare them to the Secretary ol btate.

His wife attem pted to collect the policy ot l. suranc she held on his life, but he was iudenti tied by a schoolmate, came back to his wile, conlessed his conduct and asked forgiveness, but was expelled from- his church, and cont'd ence at Troy, New York. tie next appears 8S a congregation ilisi minister of a chuch at Ouerwa) , New York, in December 1872. Nex htr figures as a Presbyterian ministei at Nashville, Tennessee, at whtci place he was accused of swindling tlx most of his congregation. While heie he had conferred on him the degree ofD. D. From Nashville he went i Gal atin, Tennessee, and branch d u widely into a field of rascality, t. which he also added the crime of mur der. He was arrested for murdering his wife, and held for trial, but a hur ried burial, prevented the guilt Beine fastened on him by a post mortem ex amination. While his trial was pro gressing.he left between two suns, and in seven months was again married to a most estimable lady. While at Gal latin, Tennessee, he was expelled from a Masonic lodge on account of his bad conduct. Next we hnd him figuring as a congregational minister, ant. Hgain be turns up in Gates county, North Carolina, as a tooth doctor. Ha was from here by some accident, in vited to officiate, at the Tabb Btreet Presbyterian church in this city; and preached his first sermen in Septem her last. With the balance of his slippery career his conversion to Bnp tist principles, and immersion by tbe Kev 1 1 .baton, pastor of the 1ft Bap tist church, our readers are sufficiently tamiliur: as well as the fact that this led to an investigation into his previ ous character and record, by a Presbv tery of baptist ministers. At this in vestigation voluminous evidence wa adduced backing up in the strongest t)le, all the facts alleged above ; ano the testimony was bo conclusive in it character; that the Presbytery not only refused to ordain Merrill, but the 1st Baptist church people expelled him from their congregation. What the future history of this remarkable and irrepressible character will be, we leave to the lively imaginations of our readers. Petersburg Post. COAL! COAL! COAL!
