The crowd in front of the Westcin Union jbuilding was now growing larger every moment, and swayed back arid forth iu a tbreateu:ng manner and yelled, "Iliipg ' Jay Gouldl" "Lamp post Jay! Gould!"

He nath. visited this Nation. ; ' , In witness-thereof, I hereunto set my hand and cause the seal of the United States to be: affixed.

I Technically speaking, the Presi dent is not elected by the people, and the people do not vote directly for any Presidential candidate. They ' cast their ballots for electors, and ; those electors choose a President and Vice-President. In each State thie I nn mber of electors is equal to ; thie number of Senators and Represen tatives which the State has in Con gress, j In j- Newj York there are thirty-six electors. Each party has an electoral ticket with the names of these thirty-jix electors printed on it. The electoral ticket which receives the greatest number of pop ular ballots in the State will be chosen by the people, and the elec tors named on it will be entitled to give their votes for the candidates whom they represent. j The electors who are chosen will meet in each State on the first Wed nesday in December and cast th eir votes for President. a 1-President ; and Vice- As a matter of laW; they can then vote for whom they please. They are not legally bound to vote for Cleveland or Blaine, or an other person who was a candidate before the people. . As a matter of usage and public trust tbey are "xneoted to vote for the candidate whom they are pledged to support. . fi Certificates of the votes cast by the electors in each State are then made out and sent to Washington. These certificates will be opened in the p esence of the Senate , and House of Representatives and count ed - on the second ' Wednesday in Februaryj The total number .of elecioal voles is 401. The candi date for I Preaident j receiving: the .majority of these that is 201 will be declared President. If no person has such majority, then t be election goes iato the House . of Representatives,-which is required to choose a President from the persons not exceeding three who have received the most electoral votes for Presi dent. In the Hous the vote is jby States, each State having one vote. . SECURE QF THE DUELLO. Six Ghasily Dplitmed Faces Under the SiUnLSlart. i Not far from the, grounds where the magnificent buildings of the Woild's Exposition glorify the land scape with their assurance of peace and progress is a beautiful grove of half a dozen live-oaks, whose gvieeu g,ay plumes of long fantastic mofs possess a flange funereal ugges tiveness. Their tory holds chat in early years of thie fair State six gay young Creole gentlemen were stroll ing together to the plantation of a mutual friend. It was a heaVenlv n;ght. The moo 0 beams were weav- ing heii softening hpell over a scene by nature soft and languid to volup tuousness. In a j breeze, fragrant wUh hisses from the. blossoms of an orr.-i.' e c ove uoii fa-i the sir oaks getiMy shook their mossy pendants, a ad made fantastic shadows on yielve'- sward. "What a place the for sword play ?" exclaimed one of the pai'ty. "I echo your sentiments, rep'ied another lightly, ua try it." said ihe first. "Then I let 'A capl- ial idea," answered, th other, and be dew his jeweled rapierJ In a moment tbey were at it, and I the weapons were weaving -n ; and j put with a gayly glittering rapidity that made a mockery to the gentle moon beams. . ." ' : i : 1 i "What a pity for us to stand idly by !" observed another of the party. "Let us pair off, then," said num ber four, and they all drew simulta neously. It must have been a pretty sight those ihreo pairs ot graceful and gallant fellows at parry and thrust hard-by those grand old oaks that live today. But the play waxed warm ; j presently vthe eyes of the' combatants outflashed their swords, and when t be &un came up over the rim of the level, lovely Louisiana plains with the same - semblance of suddenuess that one notes in his rise on the ocean, he looked on the six oaxs not as usual, out on six ghastly upturned faces, for whicb, those oaks now stand monumental. One man lingered a few hours over . to tell the story of the night, and now as the stranger steams up the muddy and "moody, river," the Creole points to those oaks with expression and exprf!ona compou nded of pity and pride. It is easy enough to infer that with the descendants of each men the duello, though dying, dies hard, especially in a clime where the blood burns a little faster than ii the North or in! Europe. , r Yesl the poor old duello is dying! Public opinion has gathered head against it, and it must go. .A case in point Occurred the j other ; day; : The city editor of a great paper took a holiday and appointed one of i the reportorial corps his pro teml This promoted reporter requested another of the corps to attend to a certain matter, ' . which he ! refused, saying it was the city edW or's business, not his. ' : Words mul tiplied, a blow was struck,' a scufflia ensued and thev were parted.' Nea morning the temporary '- dit grandson of a famous Napoleonic general, sent his brother reporter ; what is termed a peremptory chal lenge, i. e., one that leaves no room for apology, instead of one that bears the provision of, at least, an if. The challenged reporter, son of a famous Southern Senator, was clear ly in the wrong from the start. His friends 'felt so, and would have made him apologize, but no chance of that was given. With as much se crecy as possible the meeting took plaice under "The Oaks," as the old duelling ground of the city 'ia called, and where many . a famous duel has been fought. The seconds were measuring off the grounds when a letter, signed by some of the most prominent citizens and -old soldiers 01 the town, ,was brougnt to them, praying a postponement for a day and submission of .the matter to their arbitration. The seconds de cided to grant it, and .placed their principals under arbitrament. The result was that the committee order ed the Senator's son to apologize, which he did. -The poldgy was accepted, and friendship reigned again. So much for the progress of peace in Southern society I Tie long night of brilliant barbarism is passing away, and the dtf cometh in which all men ma7?work. WILL CUT JJKD UWT In Albany it is regarded as settled that Governor Cleveland is the next President, and already the gossips are busy with conjectures as to who will be the lady of the- White House. There is a well-defined belief among his friends that there is a young lady in Western Nework who will soon be led to the altar by the Pres-ident-elect. Others who have known him long and well say that he will never niprry and that; talk simply this young woman some slight at tentions feince he waft ! elected - Gov ernor. Early in his life his hopes and ambitions for a, wife were crushed by the hand of death, land- 1: sr : 14. iv-' IliS UllBUtlUU. 1UV tllO . iWt VU j UM kept him treading the wine press of ' life alone. If the reports that he is to marry are not true then his own immediate fam-ly will ; furnish the lady to do the social honors of his admtnistratiou. 1 A I it is geoevally believed by those who know him bet that' there will be less festivities during his term of office, thau the. e- have been for many years' past. He has been; a -hard-working Governor and ! j will probably continue his . industrious habits a3 President. Bachelor, as he is, the White House j will, however, have a most creditable 'r mistress. There are four ladies in his immedi ate family," eithe - of whom can well do the honorb of. the household. His eldest sister in this country, Mrs. W.fc. Hoyt, of FayetUirille, would fill any position with credit. She is a middle-aged lady, of pleas ing address, who has spent a good deal of her time at j. the executive mansion here since her brother has been Governor She has made many friends in tr?e capital of the . State and will doaoiless do the same in Washington, where she will proba bly go the 4th of next March, jlfisf R. E. Cleveland is the maidea sister. She still resides in the little home cottage at Holland Patent, ,' just above TJtica. A good pnblic " speak er, a ouick conversationalist; and generally a plain woman of. intellec tual force, sne would do her share in entertaining her brother's guests at the National capitol. Mr. Cleve , land has a sister who for twenty years has been a missionary at f Cey Ion. . She has two charming ; young lady daughters, Mary ; andf; Carrie Hastings, whom, the Governor has been for vears educating in this city. He has given them every ; advantage and thev have improved ' them. .Theyrwillna doubt be a; part 1 their uncle's family circle tt T7adi ington, as they have been, d, tizzzi 'here.'. ' " ' ' v- " :" "
