The Electoral Commission lias given the vote of Florida to Hayes and Wheeler by a strict party vote?there being on the Commission eight Republicans and seven Domocrats. Their failing to investigate the well-known frauds in Florida seems to indicate that the commission have evaded perforiniug'the duty for which the Commission was organized, and their action is far from being satisfactory to the wholo country, Tho Democrats are perfectly willing for Mr. Hayes to take the Presidential chair if it can be shown that he is fairly elected, but they have no redress if Hayes is put into through fraud. Our readers can very well form their own conclusions as to tho final result. There are eight Republicans and seven Democrats-eight beats seven just one, and Hayes and Wheeler in all probability will get tho office by that majority m icctnn "Rolnur wo rr I vn some expressions by prominent policiaus of Washington: "Washington, Fob. 9,1S77.

And Abbeville with her full quoin of warrior*, strong liar, and long roll of statesmen in iny day, was not with-: out her poets "be the same more orj less." And let this writer here con-1 fess and say that he is no poet, nor a | judge of them, and disclaims and re-! fuses to recognize any and all personal1 responsibility for what he may say of J them, as his opinions are not really I opinions, and unworthy of attention | or respect, as they are but the says of ' Madame Rumor" and her often vagabond daughter, "public opinion," ex-1 cept in so far as he may state particu-: iar facts. If, therefore, a true-hill for, slander be found against him he putyj his defence first, upon an alibi ; and j second, like the Georgia defendant j who introduced his own character for; truth and veracity and proved it soi bad as to entitle him to not only an ac- j i ,1.. ?,?rr,.a a vprrlift. ill I tjllllUll 1W1 UUIU.IqVO k/v?v w . iiis favor. CI IA RJ.KS IfHNRY AI.LEN*, mv old friend and schoolmate, wrote from. 1835 for McMakin and Arthur's Philadelphia Journal. All was printed | and praised and his "Jeptha'si vow" brought down the house. He also wrote for the local press, and his heart, now stilled, stout against men,: imf sftft towards women, carried him j largely into albums, sometimes at his own request ami often "by request." He was very ready. I called at liis room once and asked him for some lines for an epitaph for a beautiful and pious girl who died in her seventeenth year and whom he well knew. He studied a few minutes with his head resting on his hand, and taking his pen he wrote in but little more time than it takes me to repeat it: Like the flowret of Rummer she wns fair, And as brief and as beauteous her bloom. We weep not for her, nor y ield to despair, Hut consign her in hope to the tomb. It went upon the marble and there stands to-day in its thirty-fourth year unless destroyed by accident, iutentiou, or the tooth of time. i ANDRKW S1MONDS of the District wrote for the local press j ? >i 1.: ?1.1.. I ana in Aiuuuia suiuo uignij picwov** and popular pieces, all about love, its abutments, pillars and repositories, if my recollection is not at fault. JOHN MARKEE, of the manufactury of Branch & Markec, "the small man with the circular vision" as denominated by Waddy Thompson, sent lines to Arthur, some printed and others refused. His lines "To Tasty" aud other pieces were printed as "showing some talent with cultivation." I remember two verses of a squib he let ofT on a tall! geutleman who lived near town and came in often aud always rode a hue horse: TO JOHN. I saw him on hi* piiMnnt stood. High waved his bnavor crest, And like the oak, 'inongst forest trees, lie towered o'er the rest. I've seen the sand-birds on the beach * In crowds before a squall, And Johnny's legs like fund blrtlsjire The tallest of the tall. The above with several other verses too far gone to recover, were never offered for print, but reached "Johnny" and came near producing a case of assault and battery, but the intervention of this writer brought about an adjustment "alike honorable to both parties," thus saving bruises and tat- j tered cuticles. Markee returned to Augusta, Ga., from whence he came, joined j in 1846 the 1st Georgia reginieut, for Mexico, and his name appears in the list of "died in the service." But Abbeville had another poet, not one of the style of either of the above, nor yet after the model | of Byron, Scott, Burns, Longfellow, Holmes or Poe, but an acrostic poet, suigeneris: that was not only his forte but his all, and that only at certain phases of the moon. When in season somebody and many at a time had to hear him. the subieet and situation admitted of nothingelse.! Once ho came to me and whispered, j 'I know you are in love with Julia and I have something to help you. Here it is." I believe I eau give it literally : ACROSTIC. Joy Hparklcs In your eye Underneath lids so true; Long inny you live to comfort mo In sickness ami in health? Ah! aint you sweet? I thanked him for it most heartily j as the very thing I needed and had I been suffering for. Whether Julia j saw it is no reader's business.

Blue Gi-ass Cures.?Two old friends of General Pleasanton were! aliiicted with rheumatism in the forearms, from their elbow joints to their finger-ends, so severe at times that; they were unable to hold pens. They obtained a piece of blue glass, and set it. up loosely in one of their windows. For three days they bared their arms and held them in the associated blue and sunlight for thirty minutes. Each day brought them relief, and at the end of three days the rheumatism had disappeared. A little child that had from its birth scarcely any use of its legs was taken to play daily in a room where blue glass formed a portion of one of the windows. In a very short time it obtained the use of "its legs, and learned to walk and run without diiliculty. The correspondent gives a page from his own experience: "A lady !of my family, about six weeks ago*, had a violent hemorrhage of the lungs,and for ten pays raised more or less blood daily. She was very much L*onml H\r tlia nf UnnH considerably frightened withal. I obtained some blue glass and placed it in the window where she.was in the habit of sitting, the blue glass contained one-half of the lower sash of the window. The lady sat daily in the associated lights, allowing the blue rays es^cially to fall upon the nerves of the hack of the neck for about an hour a day. The second day the sun's rays being unusually strong, she got too much blue glass, and at night felt peculiar sensations in the back of the neck, among the nerves, and an unpleasant fullness in the head. These sensations wore ofi' the next day, and since then she has not remained so long a time under the blue glass. But from the first she began to grow stronger; her face soon srained its natural fullness, and in a week she was to all appearances as well as ever. Of course she was not cured of the trouble in her lungs in so short a time, but the soreness In her chest has passed away, and she begins to feel well again." Another laily who had lost her hair, sat under the glass and regained it. Good Plowing.?Plowing is an art. A really good plowman is a rarity as much as a really good landscape painter, and yet plowing is one of the main items of valuable labor upon a farm. One who knows says : "I have seen one man, when plowing, lean forward with hand upon the plow handles, and laboring at one time to keep the plow from going too shallow, and at another to keep It fioni going too deep ; make a furrow of irregular depth and width ; here a balk, and there a ridge. I have seen another man take the same team, arrange the gearing, and plow with one hand on the plow handles, turning a furrow ?I .-.1,111, TT?>. tJiuu, \ji even ? imu anu wu fortudately too few plowmen understand the principle of draught, and hence many a good plow is condemned as bad. It is this want of knowledge how to use a plow that keeps back progress and reduces the value of a crop on many a farm. I speak knowingly having had practice, more or less, between plow handles for over fifty years, commencing when eleven years of age. I studied the art of plowing practically and being engaged in supplying farmers with plows a part of the time mentioned there was a necessity of knowledge of the form of the plow and the principles of draught. In exhibiting aud comnetingat state and county fairs, it became necessary to find a piowman who understood the whole matter. It took weeks to find such a plowman ; but I did find him, and every time he was put in competition he won." Mastering Vicious Horses.?Yesterday afternoon an exhibition was given at the corner of Ninth and Howard streets of a new and very simple method of taming vicious horses, which is claimed to be superior to any in use. The first trial was with a kicking or bucking mare -which, her owner says, has allowed no rider on her back for five years. She became tame and gentle in as many minutes, and allowed herself to be ridden about without a sign of her former wildncss. The means by which this result was accomplished consists of a piece of light rope, which is passed around the front jaw of the nia'e, just a bove the upper teeth, crossed in her mouth, and then secured back of her nenk. It is claimed that no norse win kick or jump when thus secured, and that a bucking horse after receiving this treatment a few times will abandon his vicious ways forever. A very simple method was also shown by which a kicking horse can be shod. It consists in connecting the animal's head and tail by means of a rope fastened to the tail and then to be bit, and drawn tightly enough to incline the horse head to one side. It is claimed that it is absolutely impossible for the horse to kick on the side of the rope. At the trial yesterday a horse which for years had to be bound on the ground to be shod, suffered the blacksmith to operate upon him without attempting to kick while seemed in the manner described.?Sun Franisco C/troniclc. Nail in a IIorsk's Foot.?A neighbor of mine recently informed: me nine lie ua.ii lost a most vumuuie horse by a casualty liy no means uncommon. A knowledge of a simple remedy would have prevented this loss. The horse trod upon a nail which entered his foot. Lameness followed, the nail was extracted, but lockjaw supervened, resulting in death. An unfailing remedy in such cases is muriatic acid. If, when a nail is withdrawn from a horse's foot, the foot should be held up and some muriatic acid be poured in the wound neither lameness nor lockjaw need be feared. Why the iron should have the effect which it frequently has, and the rationale of the above remedy, I am unable to explain; but of the certainty of counteraction of disease by this perfectly safe application, I am well convinced.?

Walhalla has thirty-six criminals eases to be tried at the next Court. It gives us pleasure to chronicle the fact that in the lirst two weeks Mr. 11. S.
