Hi I -g--! ) > County Committee. fefMposed law for Meeting President and Vie* T*r«>i»l<iS Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, on iday last reported it bill to the Unit* •4 States Sanate in regard to as cer­ tain ihg and declaring the result of ftastdentlal elections. The titll pro­ vides that the Presidential electors •hali be chosen in October instead of November; that the electoral colleges •hall meet in January, thus giving three months for the set dement of any dispute within a State; that the IStfttes are to decide for themselves what electors are legally chosen, and their decision is to be conclusive; that Congress shall meet in February to connt the votes; that where there Is tot one return from a State it shall be counter! unless rejected by both Houses; that where there is more than •»« re- tarn that the one only shall be counted Which both Houses agree was certified by the proper State tribunal; that if no such determination was made with­ in the State, then only such votes shall bt counted as both Houses unite in -pronouncing valid. One or two other electoral bills have teen reported in th* Honse of Repre­ sentatives, but it seems to be conceded that the Edmund's bill is the best ma­ tured of any yet reported and that although in its practical working it •light not always insure complete jus­ tice, yet that its maiu' features are iibout right. His bill practically puts lit the power of either the Senate or lUusa to reject the vote of any State «ver which there is a dispute. Had Hie Edmund's bill been a law in 1876, tt is quite likely that the'vote of Louis­ iana would have been-thrown ont and Hot counted on either side. Mr. Ed- •lunds has given notice that he shall Sfcll up the bill this week and the mat­ ter will then receive attention by Con­ gress. One of the pressing duties de­ volving upon Congress is to provide safeguards against the repetition of • the dangers which threaened the country in the Presidential ejection of lloveniber, 1876, and the mouths in­ tervening between then and the fourth •f March, 1877. The cabinet meeting ways of ||ro famous Presidents are thus tersely described in one of the Harper's new American novels: MJobnson need to •feat the members at a table, call the •>11 as It were, and go through bnsl- •ess by departments, beginning with fbe secretary of state. Lincoln was Entirely different. Every man took a •hair where he pleased. The president Walked about, discussed matters in a free-and-easy way, or sat down with •ne and another to private conferences Me did what he liked. I have known Mm to roost his feet on the table, tell .Stories to the secretaries for two hours, and tbfeu ssnd them home." 5^-The scaudalized Bishop MeCos- fcry, of Michigan, having deferred his trip to Europe, has now returned to Detroit to meet the accusations against kiss. He is accompanied by his wife And niece, and though greatly reduced In physical strength from bodily and »®ntal suffering, he says he shall imme­ diately resume his duties as head of fte diocese. Regarding the scandal tfoupled with bis name, be is reticent. •«d announces that the matter is in tfie hands of bis counsel. The regular Michigan Diocesaa Convention will meet next month, and the Bishop Binst necessarily be fn attendance.-- At that time the preliminary steps of the asked-for investigation will prob­ ably be taken. LAIK DAIRY MARK K1X New York, June 3rd, 1878. The cheese market is badly broken. The early season and Immense increase in production have glutted the market. The only remedy Is to hold back the cheese and give the market rest. The receipts have boon 91,000 boxes as com­ pared with 56,000 a year ago. The top price Is 6c. One year ago it was lt$ots. The pros beet ts that there, will be a further decline. Butter la steadier than cheese, but declining nevertheless. The Price Current gives the follow­ ing report: Receipts for the week tndfng May t4, Inclusive, 28,804 s; last week. 24,811. To-day we consider prices 1@2 cents lower than on this day week Haif firkin tubs and palls can only be sold in selections at 20c to-day, and Invoice lots of prime have not b#*»H easily placed above 18c. Firkins have arrived more freely and are now in larger supply than required. State creamery butter has ruled steady; palls are to© plenty to-day while tubs are relatively in small supply.

Oh, doar, will the angel of mercy and kindness take this mothers pet diuiing and cover it gently in the bosom cf mother earth. Our anticipation #f having esceed- tngly g°°d apples to eat this harvest, fall and winter, gradually begins to ooze away, as our orchards are attack­ ed with the deadly Canker Worm.-- They have been here some live years and a few orchards are already about dead. Mr. James Kevel experimented with Paris Qreera and saved a few trees. All that knotr of this remedy are applying the same, with what re­ sult time will tell. A few mount a tall ladder and use a sprinkler as for pota­ toes but a syringe with line holes thrown from It In the form of spray Is preferable. The small ones cannot be shaken from the tree but the larger ones can be easily Jarred off and then hang suspended by a web and after a nice swing will mount up by the same in measured length. The worm teeds upon the leaves the tender fruit and even the stem of the apple is devoured. We shall not give up in despair but fight them early and late, and as a last resort shall send for our grandmothers dye pot as we have faith that the con­ tents would fetch them down.
