" / The Press and Banner. Wednesday, Jan. 24,1877. "LUC. - 1 The Electoral Vote Bill. Tbe bill recommended by tlie Join Committee for counting the electoral vote, will probably become a law in a few days. It is contended by tbe New York Herald that the work of the committee to whom was referred the recommending of a bill to provide a methed for counting the electoral vote, have-discharged their high duty In a manner which will afford encouragement and gratification to those who have been fearful that party zeal end prejudice would prevent a fair and constitutional settlement of the critical Question that has already too long disturbed the country. Tho ex cellent work of tlio committee is sufficient proof of the truth of Mr. Edmunds' assertion, that its members laid aside all partisan feeling and united in reporting a bill with a solemn sense of the important duty with which they were charged. The best proof of the honest equity of their plan is to bo found in the fact that it is bitterly denounced by those to whom a political triumph is of more consideration than the preservation cf con-! stitutional government; and who) would consent to win a party victory by such an uu worthy trick as that practised in Oregon or through the undisguised rascality of such an infaui ous body as the Louisiana Uetuening t Board ? There is a great diversity of opinion as to tho merits of this bill. Distinguished gentlemen or both jwilitical parties are not at all agreed as to the justice or tho constitutionality of the bill, while the newspapers differ as widely as do tbe Senators and Representatives. Extreme men on either side, as a rule, object to it, while the more conservative men of both parties endorse it. The Charleston Xcwn and Courier favors the bill, while the Jour-! mil of Commerce is opposed to it; ttie; i'olurrfbia Register is indifferent and! the Greenville News opposes it. The bill provides that the Senate and House are to meet on the first of February in the hall of the House; the President of the Senate is to preside, and each House is to appoint two tellers; the presiding officer is to open all the certificates in the alphabetical order of the States, and hand them to the telJers; if there is but one return, and no objection being made, that vote is to be counted; if objection be made, the two Houses are to separate,, and reassemble upon reaching a conclusion, and if they' concur in sustaining the objection the vote k to be rejected, but otherwise is to be counted ; if there i\re two returns, those returns are to - be submitted to a commission consisting of five Senators, five lteprcsenta<iv,.a mid Jiretiees Clifford, Strong, Miller and Field, of the Supreme Court of the United States, together with a fifth Associate Justice of that ^. oiirt, to be selected hy them; this commission in to report the result of i'.s ileliberaliota in eueh case to Coil gress, and thecot^Ht is to proceed in conformity therewith, unless the two 1 louses coiwur iu sustaining objection thereto.

I The Athens W'ifchman has a column on tlie subject of "patent outsides," ami makes some statements I which are not at all in accordance with the facts. For instance, hesr.ys: "Tapers with 'patent outsides' have been declared by the courts, both of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, to be not proper mediums for the publication of legal advertisements, iuasiuuch *s they are not printed in tho county j in which the interest allected by such advertising exists." | There is not one word of truth in the (above statement, or we have been wrongly informed. We have written t') inquire as to the truth of the statement in reference to the courts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and have been informed that no such decision has ever been made In either State. We presume that the editor of the Watchman made the above statement, not I udi< intention nf <ler*ei viutr the public, but from a wrong impression as to the facts. Would not the casual reader readily infer from the torn* of the article that i the \V(/tc.h)iHiii is jealous of papers J usiiipr "patent outsides," or that he is poking his nose into other people's business? I We conceive it to ho no business of | the Wtitohmnn how his conteiupora; ries conduct their papers. A discrimJ mating public will award to each due{ patronage according to their respective i I merits without any advice from the! i Watchman. ! Jiy what authority does this wiseacre assume the ollice of public censor of the press? We would advise the Wafc/iman to pay strict attention to his own paper and make it a model ! of excellence, after which wc think he! will have little time to attend to other people's business. That paper says that county officers "have no right to give their advertisements to papers using patent outsides." Will the Wiiichman please give us his authority for that asser-j tion ? Does the Watchman want the I Courts to make a decision forbidding his less pretentious neighbors from publishing oilicial advertisements, and at the same time allowing him to "gobble u|)" all such patronage? It would only be generous in a great paper to allow his struggling neighbors to do the best they can for themselves and the public. As a general rule, men of real worth who have attained some success arc disposed to lend assistance to those whom they have distanced, but it appears that the Watchman would like to put his heel on the neck of every poor devil who cannot publish a paper which in his estimation is equal to his own. * Dancing. Rev. Manning Thrown, of Cokesburj', is the Presiding Elder of the Cokesluiry Circuit, and is one of the most active aud zealous christian gentlemen that we know, and has perhaps been instrumental in doing as much good as any minister of his age in the conference, and we throw out. the fol- < lowing for what it is worth. Ite v. Mr. Brown gave a flash a lew Minuays ago 111 our ivieiiiouisi church against (lancing, lie thought the "poetry of motion" the culmination of all sins, and not to be tolerated by christians. And we are told he said much in reference to the duty of church members conforming lo the 1 "rules of the church." As far as we are informed in the Methodist Discipline there is no regulation or law on this point, while the I'reshyterian Confession of Faith forbids "lascivious books, pictures, dancing," &<*. If miuistcrsof the gospel would direct their attention to the sins specifically mentioned in the Decalogue, we think It would be equally beneficial. Our ministers should preach against the alarming sins of malice, hatred, uucharitablcness, covetousness, lying, cheating, extravagance, gormandizing, drunkenness, profanity, adultery, neglect of prayer, Sabbath-breaking, and a Jong list of other monstrous sins, which may be found practiced in this christrian land. With all these facts befoie us it seems strange that the power and force of the j pulpit should be directed against Ian amusement, the intiocense of which is scarcely questionable, and especially is this astonishing when no warrant for such action can be found in.,their books. The Presbyterians in their Confession of Faith forbid lasciviotin books, pictures, dances, &c., -w-hich we fully endorse. lasoiviousdances should be carefully abstained from in any community. We have often been iii the dance and from our own experience we truthfully can say that we have never been susceptible to the corrupting influence charged to that net of "honoring your pariuers'' or "swinging corners." Disrespect of the Law?Another Daniel Coining to Judgment. On the night of the 22d a thief entered the dwelling of Mr. T. C. Perrin and abstracted therefrom a sack of meal and a lot of bed furniture. A search warrant was obtained, and under the management of Messrs. Lex. Templeton, Wade S. Cothran and Willie Lyon, all the articles lost were recovered yesterday morning, and the I offending citizen, Daniel (\>wan, comfortably lodged in jail. The prisoner gives the following accounts of his proceedings: lie entered the hack door of the house in which the family were at tea, ami secreted himself in the drawing room* until everything j became quiet, when he came out of his lurking place and possessed himself <?f iho aforesaid articles which he hid in the front yard until he could go to Col. Cothran's for a horse, which he obtained by drawing the staple of I the stable door ; he then returned to Ills plunder. After getting home, nl I Mr. Miller's, lie unloaded and rode the ' mftre to within about two miles of home and turned her loose to get liorae the best she could. A broken shoe on the horse was the elue to the trail. Cowan had been iu the employment of Mr. Perrin "for several years until the first of last January. Wc Told You So. In a late number of tho Charleston Journal of Commerce we learn who furnished the brains and directed our political course in the late campaign, according to the editorial opinion of that paper. We do not desire to reflect on the sagacity of that paper, or detract from its reputation for wisdom, but we think the editor has entirely ignored the Sumter True Southron who has preached the straight-out policy for the last six years. The 'True Southroil is a country paper it is true, but then give it justice. It is not fair for a eity daily to take all the credit to himself. Come, now. Mr. Journal of Commerce, and make the "honors easy" with the True Southron, who "hollered" lirst. A Young Lady Stabbed by her Lover Eleven Times. On Wednesday night, at 8 o'clock, a very respectable and handsome young lady, daughter of E. J. Tinson, of Wiiliamston, 8. C., was stabbed in eleven places by Lawrence Smith, of Golden Grove Station, Greenville and Columbia ltailroad, and is now lying in h critical condition. Smith had been visiting the younjf lady for several months, and his action is supposed to have been the result of failure in his suit. The community is much excited, and search is being made for Smith. Smith has since surrendered himself to the Sheriff of Greenville county, and is now in Anderson jail, lie is though! to be of unsound mind. The I young lady at last accounts, it was believed, would recover. ?o? We have received various calenders, &c., with the name of Mr. (Jeo. J{.
