Cheer up! The formality of casting the Electoral vote of each State fo President was complied with Mon day and the results certified to the President of the Senate. So far as heard from no break or hitch oc curred in the proceedings in anv State, the unexpected did not bap pen, and t he Electoral vote as certi fied, when counted in the presence of the House and Senate on February 8, will show uieveiand to nave res ceived 276 votes, Harrison 144 and Weaver 24. With so positive a ma- nority for Cleveland no one will bt disposed to dispute his election, bu the close result in 1876, and a pes sible close result at any future elec tion, show how absolutely necessary it is that something more decisive ot thi popular choice take the place of our present cumbrous iiaecioral sys tem at the earliest possible mo ment.

There is a whole lot ol Stages in the far Wet.t in which th lididstes of neither party have yet be .Mi selected and the liat, of crniini- Siriii-tors seem tos be in a somewhat chaotic condition. It is verv certain, however, thf.t the political complex ion of the Senate will he changed b the coming Senatorial elections. This is conceded even by the mos' f-angnine Republicans, and with this conceded the country can wnit with sotce equanimity the caucusing and combining which wni filially dec d who the successful candidates are to be. It is unwise aa well us unjn3t to ey U 'wu tne oircusion ot curt- rency proolems ss a Detnoeratie device.

As the JJi-mocratie party is slwrUy to control the govern; mentor tne unitou ittate- some Democrats wiil natcraily have to take the load m currency reform and it the Republicans choofe tt p!ant themselves in the wavo im rovemcnt, such reform will be come a party measure. But the subject ought to command the (huughttul, 'helpful consideratiou of every patriotic c;t;z3n. Nothing in current politics is so amusing as the efforts ol the Kepub lican editors to whistle, from both sides ot their mouths when con fronted by the Senatorial situation. One day, if the chances seem in favor of the Democrats controlling the Senate" our Eapnblican contem poraries philosophically declare that this is best for the Republican party and just what it most desires The next day when things pick up in favor of the Republican, our versa tile brethren beam with complacen exultation that the Grand Old Party i& still in the ring and the country is s' ill safe. The JSew York 2nd une w histlea a variation on this medley by protesting that the Re publican party hopes that the Dem ccrals will control the Suate, but insists that should the par:y see an opportunity to prevtnfc tne Demo crats f rem thit control, patriotism will prompt it fo n.ake the saennee. Such beautiful self- abnegation has not been known since Johnny ate his sister's ginger bread to sue her the stomach ache. The Gratia Old Partv's attitude as it performs this nieincho!ly whist ling feat is strikingly suggestive of the experience of LoweP's rustic hero who ' stood on one foot fust.. And then he stood on the other; And on which one he felt the wnst He couldn't a told you nuther." TheState Normal and Industrial School. President Mclver appeared be fore the jint educational commit tee of the Senate and Houee yes--terday afternoon by their invita tion and addressed them in behalf of the State Normal and Industrial school. AmoDg other interesting facts brought out in his address were the following : Number of students, 1 8 Average ace cf BiuficntJ, 19 Number of counties r. presented. 68 Number of graduates of othtr institu tions, 23 Number who have taught. 70 Numtcr who are defraying their own ex epses. 85 The report shows that fortytwo student are the daughter of widi. ows, that seventyfonr are farmers' and that the others come in small er nutubers from families of all c lasses. In his report to the Board of Di rector?, which met yesterday, he speaks ot the patronage of the inn stitutiou in the following lana gnage : "The Board of Directors, and all who are interested in our work, are to be congratulated upon the character of the patronage that nas asked for admission into the Normal and Industrial school. I think I will mention th s first, because more deper.ds on the quantity of the material that an instiiutiou is calltd upon to dew veop. Il would have been pecu Iiarly unfortunate it our patron age had been drawn exclusively from our wealthier and fashionable c'Tcle?. It would have been equally nnfoitULie it it had come exclus ively from classes too poor to go elsewhere. The statistics which I have collected, which appear fur ther on in his report, show that our students represent socially, fi nancially and eductionally, every respectable class of North Garo linian people. They come from ail sections of the State,and among them are graduates of our kad.ng nstitutiotis for girls; graduate:- from the graded bchoolf; ttiofe who nave been prepared by their hieal priyate academies; and others whose only educational opportunities have been those ottered by the public schools of the State. Some have eorue because they c-.juld not. af ford to go elsewhere. O.heis are here because they want to prepare tor teaching or industrial purs uits and prefer an institution whoi-e main purpose is to jive such preparation and wherethe general surroundings are in harmony with neir purposes, The number of etudents now in attendance is more than two hun died and nearlv that many more have appl.ed tor admission, but cou d not be admitted because ot the lae& of room to boaid them in the donatories. The institution oegan its work in October and the arge number of students indicates heieal need lor its establishment' It is a very popular institution and deserves to be; We endorse what Governor Holt says so well iu tiis message : UI would rtcommend that the General Assembly deal liberally woh their Normal and Industrial School. Every dollar invested in such an institution as it gives promise of becoming will repay the State ten told. Moreover, there is no reason why the State should deal less generously with its daughters hau it does with its sons, lhis is iriici at all times, but under present coudidous, when the State has two iusit:utious tor men of tne white race, and si:: for both sexes cf the cuiGred race, when the leading re hgious der ominations have endow ed colleges for men, but none for women, the jNorrna! and Industrial Sehooi ought to fiud it necessary only to show its needsfor carrying out its si purpose, to secure a liberal response from an intellia gent body of legislator. lialeigh Chronicle, Officers Installed.

The Grar.d Master. Hon. H A Gudger, delivered his annual ad dress, which was couched in e!e gant la'gcag,, and delivered as he knows how to do, which is equiv alent to .saying iu chaste, choice and fitting style. In feeling terms he alluded to the death of Grand Secretary B-m, and his words of tribute found hearty response n the hearts of hU hearers, for of all that were preterit, none could be found but who revered the memory of Donald Bain, and who sincerely deplored his los, to Masonry, his country, his frieuds and his rela live'. The giand master further dwelt upon tne necessity ot orcinren practicing charity, and thereby redeeming their promisee. He al luded a!so to the ancient origin of Masonry and its power heretofore exhibited of withstanding and de etroying opposition, The work ot the Orphan asylum did not fan to claim his attention, and to the world at large, regardless of Mas sonic affinities, he commended the asylum and the opportunities which t offer. He explained be sides the action of the Meth odist conference in making appoin'ment of superentin- dejt of Orphan asylums. That it was only done to show that the incumbent does not lose his mem bership in conference.Heexpliued the working and applications for charity, and exemplified the fact of its abuse. His decisions as Grand Master during the reces9 were duly reported and explained. The Grand Master then, in cons elusion, testified his gratitude for honors beEtowed upon him and for favors shown him. Ihc address was referred to a special committee consisting o Messra.

THE CEI3IS IN FKANCE- It is interesting to the student of history to the statesman, patriot and the man cf affairs to contem plate the situation iu France at this time and to speculate on the prob able Outcome. The present is the fourth occasion on which, since its foundation in September, 1870, the French Re public has been menaced by grave and perilous difficulties. It emerged from the go-y horrors of the Com mune of 1871 scarred, bruised, and not a little disheartened, but never theless resolved to knit together the scatteieu forces of the nation and protect it against foreign foes and native firebrands, Several years later it was saved from destruction by the over-chivalrous conduct of the Count of Chatnbord, who, hav ing been offered the French crown by the constituent assembly of Verwiilles, on condition that he ac knowledge the tricolor as the sole national fiu of Franco, indignantly refused to abandon the Bourbon lilies of his forefathers. Boulanger, seated on his cream-white charge., wts, at a subsequent period, very near establishing a second First Consulate on the ruins of the lie public; but his cowardly flight to Brussels destroyed all his prospects, and made the cause he represented a helplessly forlorn ore. Politics had more or less to do with all previous attacks on the Rr public. Oa this occasion, however, the wholesale corruption of some of it3 representatives, including several of ts eximiniiters, h?.s brought down upon it the odium of many who 3tood aloof from all political feuds and quarrels. The dupes of the anama Canal Company, forming as they do a very large section of the people, are justly indignant at the conduct of Republicans who bartered their votes and consciences for a mi-rrable mess of pottage. It is probable that most of these voters will refrain from supporting Repub lican candidates for the Chamber of Deputies at the general elections which are fixed for the coming autumn. Yet it is exceedingly probable that the French Republic will come out of the present ordeal triumph ant in the end. Trus, it has made sad and all but irretrievable mis takes, yet it will be tolerated by the overwhelming majority of French men, who prefer the ills they know, rather than have anything to do with the ills they know not of. The Republic has outlived by sev eral years the period of existence of any and all of the different dynastic regimes that have come and gone since the decapitations of Louis XIV. It is the only possible form of gov ernment that is or ever can be likely to satisfy the aspiration of modern Frenchmen, most of whom consider the monarchial system of rule ab surd and illogical in the extreme, as well as anachronism in thia progres sive age ot ours. Moreover, tne greast mass of the peasant commu nity cling to the established order of things -as a barnacle does to a rock. They are totally averse to change. They have no sympathy with revolutions. They will sup port the Government of the day so lorjg as they are allowed to till their fields in peace, and secure a good market for their agricultural pro ducts. Adverse critics may say that it is the unexpected, which always takes place in Frauce. Instability, they may allege, is the only thing that is stable in French politics, but there can be little doubt of the fact that the French people at large the masses have accepted the present Republic for good not because the Republic is at all perfect in its con stitution and policy, but because every other form of government has been tried by them in the balance and invariably found wanting. The Royahst faction clamors for the Count of Paris, the Bonapartists shout themselves hoarse for Prince Victor Napoleon. It would be easier to blend oil with water than to combine in a single unit such oppos ing factions.' Oa the Radical side there is positively no connecting link between Boulangisls, Socialists and Anarchists, save a common hatred of Republican institutions. Where there is no unity there cannot bfi any concentrated politic&l power or influence. The Republic is strong enough still to baffle its wiliest foes p.nd crush, if necessary, any attempt that may be made for its overthrow. It has survived severer ordeals iu the past. In fact, it may be safely said that it has come to stay, despite the prophecies of croaking pessimists. Eeath of Senator Zenna- Senator Kenna died in Wash ington city yesterday morning. He wfp born in 1848, and was elected to the United States Sens ate from West Virginia in 18S3. He was probably the youngeet member ofthe Senate at the time of his death. The death of Senator Kenna is a loss to the whole country. He was a man of decided abdity, pop ular in his native State. as well aa a member of the Senate; commanded retpect, because of his high sense of honor; was iiifliential as a legislator, because of his mental integrity; won the esteem by his pleasant address, his courtesy and the rectitude of his motives. AH saw in the young Senator, whose future was opening with the bright est promises, a lofty aim, noble impulses, a patriotic desire to serve his country and an arnbi tion to be useful to his State, which turronnds his untimely death with r; eadntss only relieved by a bright a.; J manly record. Senator Kenna worked on a farm in early life entered the Con federate army as a private, served chieflv in Missouri, was wounded in 1864, and surrendered at Shreeport, La. in 1S65. He ate tended St, Vincent's college at Whee insr, studied law at Charles ton, W. Va and was admitted to ..he bar in 1870, Before entering Congress Senator Kennn vas Prosecuting Attorney for Kanawha county and under a statutory pro vision of his State was elected by the bar to hold the circuit courts of L:ncoln and Wayne counties. His first service in Congress was in the House. lialeigh Chronicle,. PIFIT-ECOSO COSGIt:-?!S SECOND SESSION SENATE. Washington, Jan. 13. The electoral certificate for electors for President and Vice" President, of the States ot New York and South Carolina, were presented and placed on file. Mr. Sherman, (Republican of Ohio), from the committee on For eign Relations, reported back the Senate bill (introduced by hira De cember 20), to extend to the North Pacific cean the provisions of the statutes for the protection of fur seals and other fur-bearing ani mals, and after a brief explanation the bill passed. The certificate of the Governor of Louisiana ot his appointment ol Donelson Caffery to fill the va cancy in the Senate caused by the death of Mr. Gibson, was pre sented and placed on file. The-Mr. Marrahan bill waa un der consideration for ball an hour and alter a speech against it by Mr. Mills it went over till next Monday. At 2 p. id. the Anti-Option bill was taken up, the pending question being the amendment offered by Mr. White, Democrat of Louisana, to 6trike out the last provision in section zOth. he proviso is, "That such contract or agreement eh?.) i not be made and settled tor b, delivery or settlement of differ ences, or by any other mode of per f'ormanceof settlement, ik or upon any board of trade &3." The amendment was rejected yeas,16; nays 32. So the provisor is re tained in ths bill. During the roll call, a general laugh was pro voked by the vices! resident when Mr. Br;ce rose to vote calling him. "The Senator-from New York," The question recurred on agree ing io the amendment offered by Mr. Daniel, and which is printed in the bill as section 10, la the absence of Mr. Daniel on the committee attending the funeral of Senator Kenna, the amendment went over without action. Mr. Vilas moved to amend the second section by adding the words "and does not in good fa 'i in tend to purchase aud deliver the articles contracted to be sold aud delivered according to the terms and requirements of such con tracts." He eaid that the purpose of the amendment was to distinn qaish legitimate transactions from gambling operations. .Debate on this amendment occupied the remainder ot the day's session, and without action upon it, the amends meat went over. The Senate adjourned. THE SHEPHERDESS. God set thee on this Norman plain, . Scarce Opened flower, Lest the hot breath of man should stain Thy noon's bright hour; And yet and yet, thou dreamest here. Dieamest of what? Though there's no sign that Love is near I trust him not. As the hid honey draws the bee.

So long as we will cne thing, and He another, we go oa piercing our selves through and through with a perpetual wound; and His will and moving on in sanctity and the majesty, crush ing oura into the dust, Cardinal Manning, Though it lish the shallows that line the beach, Afar from the great tea deeps, There is never a storm whose might can reach Where the vast leviathan sleeps," Like a mighty thought in a quiet mind In the clear, cold depths, he swims Whilst above him the pettiest fjrm of kinJ With a dat-h o'er the surface skims. There is peace in power, the men who speak: With the loudest tongues do least And the turest sin of a mind that is weak Is its want ot the power to rest. It is only the lighter water that flies From the sea on a windy day, And the deep blue ocean never re plies, To the sibilant voice ofthe spray, John Boyle O'Reilly, It is not by regretting what is rreparatle that true work is to be done, but by making the best of what we arc. It is not by coma plaining that we have not the right tools, but by using well the ools we have. What we are, and where we are, is God's providential arrangement, God s doing,though it may be man s misdoing, and the manly and the wise way is to look your dssad vantages in the face. and see what can be made one of them Life, like war, is a series of mistakes, and he is. not the best Christaiu nor the best general who makes the fewest false steps.

Hawley has been nominated for re-election by the Republicans of the Connects cut Legislature, and will doubtless be re-elected. He bad a desper ate and bitter struggle and nar rowly escaped defeat, but "enough is as good as a feast, and he is safe for another term.

Senator Hawley has now. reached the position that must make him one of the most useful of statesmen or merely the lingering" dregs of past party issues. Ed munds and Hoar were once o-rent . ; Q--. . leaders and placed statesmanship aooye Diina party ooeaience, out both shriveled up into snarling partisan feebleness; and Hawley should avoid their fate. ine nation is mucn wiser and better nowthat it was whenHawley entered public life.and he is at the. crosBsroads which point to partisan servility and patriotic statesmanship. The world tnovee, and statesmen must move with it. Phila.Timts,
