injuries. She, with two other girls, had
been disturbing him, and he chased them
from the balcony. Two escaped down

fell in trying to jump to an adjoining
porch. Smith was locked up pending the

in giving publicity to the great cure it accom

tlie summer of that year my son, Henry A.
Archer, now postmaster iu this place, was
attacked with apittiug of blood, cough, weak
nesB of lungs, and geuerul debility, so much so
that our family physician declared him to have
a "seated consumption." He was under medi
cal treatment for a number of months, but ri
ccived no benefit from it. At length, from the
solicitation of himself and others, I was induced
to purchase or.e bottle of WisUu 's Halaain of
Wild Cherry, which benefitted him so
much I obtained another, which iu a short time
restored uiiu to his usual stale of health. 1 can

The President iu his message ap
proving the act providing for counting the
tlccloral vote, says he believes the hill

tion, and jivill be accepted without resist
ance frojjf the supporters ot the disap.
pointed candidates, and thu the highest
i,;"ocr shftll not hold his place with a ques
tioned title of right. Tlie message also
alludes to the Imminent peril the country
has escaped through the adoption ot the
act. The document further declares that
In no instance had the President of the
Senate exercised tlie power of deciding
the disputed election returns. In such
case as this, where the result is involved
in doubt, it is the duty ot the law-making
power to provide in advance a lawful
mode of settling the dilliculty. One of
the two candidates mu3thave been elected
and it would be a deplorable sight to wit
ness a controversy as to which should re
ceive or hold the ofllce. Xo party or cit
izens loving their country can sacrifice too
much in preserving their country. Law,
liberty and progress can only exist through
cheerful obedience to constitutional law.
The bill Is calculated to meet the present
question. The country requires peace and
Harmony between all sections.
Tlie following is the text of the Presi
dent's message concerning the electoral
bill:
I follew the example heretofore occa
sionally presented ol communicating in
this mode my approval of an act to pro
vide for and regulate the counting ot the
votes for President and Vice President
and the decision of questions arising there
on, because ot my apprehension ot the
imminent peril to the institutions of the
couiitiy, from which, in my judgment, it
affords a wise and constitutional means of
escape. For tbe first time in the history
ot our country, under the constitution as
it now is. a dispute exists with regard to
the result ot an election for Chief Magis
trate of the nation. It is understood ou
the disposition of disputes touching the
electoral votes cast at the late election by
one or more ot the States depends the
question whether one or the other of the
candidates for President is the lawful Chief
Magistrate. The importance ot clearly as
certaining by by a procedure regulated by
law, whichot the two citizens has been
elected, and of having the right to this high
ofllce, recognized and cheeriully agreed iu
by the people of the Republic cannot be
overestimated, and leads me to express to
Congress aud the nation my great satisfac
tion at the adoption of a measure that' af
fords an orderly means of deciding grave
ly exciting questions. WJiile the historv
ot our country in its earlier period shows
that the President ot the Senate has count
ed the votes and declared the standing.our
whole history shows that in no instance of
doubt or dispute has he exercised tlie pow
er of deciding, and the two Houses of
l ongrcss lias disposed of all such disputes,
although in no instance hitherto have they
been such that their decision could essen
tially affect the result. For the first time
then the government of the United States
is now brought to lace this nuestion. As
one evil to result iu others, undr condi
tions not the best calculated to produce
agreement or induce calm feeling in the
several brances of the government or
among the people of the country in a case
where, as now, the result is involved, it is
tlie highest duty of the law making oower
to provide in advance a constitutional, or
derly and just method of executing the
Constitution in this most interesting and
critical clause ot its provisions. The doing
so, far from being a compromise of right,
an enforcement ot right aHd
an execution of power conferred bv
the Consttuition on Congress. I think this
bill, which, appealing to the Constitution
and law as a guide in ascertaining rights,
provides a means of deciding questions of
single returns through the direct action of
Congress and in respect to double returns
by a tribunal of inquiry whose decisions
suinu unless Doth houses ot Congress shall
concur iu determining otherwise, thus se
curing a definite disposition of all ques
tions of dispute, in whatever aspect they
may arise with or without this law. As
all of the States have voted, and as a tie
vote is impossible, it must be that one of
the two candidates lias been elected ;
it would be deplorable to witness
an irregular controversy as to
which of the two should re
ceive or which should continue to hold the
office. In all periods of our history, 110
controversy has arisen as to tlie succession
or choice of chiefs of States, and no party
or citizen who love their country and its
lree institutions can saci lice too much of
mere feeling in preserving through the
upright force ot law, their country from
tlie smallest danger to its peace on such
occasions, and it can not be impressed loo
firmly in the heart of all the people that
true liberty aud real progress can exist
through truthful adherence to the consti
tutional law. The bill purports to pro
vide only for a settlement of question aris
ing from the recent elections. The tact
that such questions can arise, demon
strates the necessity, which. I cannot
doubt, will before long be supplied by
permanent general legislation to methods
which have not been contemplated in flic
constitution or laws of the country. The
bill may not be perfect, nnd its provisions
may not be such as would be best applica
ble to all future occasions; but it is calcu
lated to meet the present condition of
questions and ot the country. The country
is agitated: it needs and ii desires peai-o
and quiet and harmony between ali
parties and all sections. It's industries
are arrested, labor unemijloyed, capital
idle, and enterprise paralyzed by reason
of doubt, anxiety and uncertainty of a
double claim to the chief magistracy of tlie
nation. It, wants to In- assured of the re
sult of the election. It will be accep'cd
without doubt from the supporters of the
disappointed candidate nud that its high
est olliitr shall not hold his place will? a
questioned title of right, ltelieving the
bill will eekirt' these ends. (jive it my

most cruel manner, and Nassir, a Brahmin,
deeply grieved at their sorrows, determined
to try if be could not prevail upon tbe prince
to be more lenient. With this idea in view,
he invented a game where the King weak in
himself, should be protected bv his nh.
jncts. Aseoon as the prince heard of the
new game, he sent for tbe inventor to come
and teach him, who improved theopportun
ity to make known what the game really
taught. Another account is that it was in
vented by tbe Queen of Ceylon in the sec
ond century, to amuse her husbaud with an
image of war at the time her capital was be
sieged. From the word chess comes our
English word check, and also to exchequer.
Shall Women Preach?
An eastern paper says that the question
whether women shall preach in PresbyteriaD
churches has come before the Newark pres
bytery in the shape of a church trial. The
Kav. Isaao M. See of the Wickliffe Street
church permitted two ladies who had beeD
in attendance upon the Women's National
Temperance Convention to occupy his pulpit
on Sunday, Oct, 29th. Mr. See did not dis
pute tbe fact, but denied tbe violation of any
Scriptural rule. At the opening of tbe trial
on tbe 20th, a motion to dismiss the com
plaint was voted down. After this decision
the prosecutor proceeded wiih his argument.
The charge is that the occu pation of the pul
pit by women is a violation of the Book of
Dicipline, chapter 5, section 5, and also of
the rules laid down by the Apostle Paul in
tbe First Epistile to tbe Corinthians.
It seems to us the day of narrow-minded
sticklerism is passed. A Church which in
this age stops to contend about technicalities
will be left behind. Shall women preach, is
no longer a question of Church councils.
Common consent has ridden over these au
thorities and the multitude laughs at the
gravity of the subject when handled by ec
clesiastics. A straw can as easily turn the
tide of Niagara as the edict of a church coun
cil can change this popular current. To the
question, shall women preach, common In
stinct from every walk of life answers, yes;
and do anythinnand evertbing else good she
desires. The Confession and the Discipline
and Paul must all step aside before this tide
of popular feeling. Paul may have made a
mistake. He had no wife, had never listened
to a woman s sermon, was closely allied to
heathen customs, and sometimes spake on
his own authority. However this may be.
it' living now be would certainly revise the
record fur this age. '. C Advocate,
