[Galaxy.] LUSI5xY.J How unsafe it is to infer that because a word, however before apparently un Known, suddenly springs into use in this country, it is therefore cf "Ameri can" origin- an Americanism--ls exem ilfled by the strange word bulldoze. This word came up during the late pres idential canvass. I was at the time in England. IBfore the summer of 1870 it was, I believe, quite unknown but when I returned I could hardly take up a newspaper in which I did not find it. ainoe then it has continued In common 'use, and many have Ieen the aooounts published of Its origin; but all of them are on their face fanciful, and it seems to me deliberately fictitious. The word made its appearance at the lMouth, and it was first applied, I be live, to secret acts of violence perpe trated against negroes, and afterward to all killing, maiming and beating by way of intimidation. The essential p art of the compound is the last word, Soze: the first, bull, being an intensive 'qualification, a description of the man ner of "dozing." I write the word dose because it is thus pronounced, and not dose, as in a dose of medicine. All the efforts to show that it has that mean ng and that the whole word means a bull dose- that Is, a big dose af violence --have been, in my opinion, quite futile. It would seem that if any word -could be safely assumed to be a genuine Americanism, it is this. I am not pre pared positively to deny that it is so; but I think that I shall at least show that it is probably of old English origin. Most of my readers know that Sir Walter Scott prefixed to the chapters of his novels, as mottoes, extracts from plays. Some of these were from old dramas, more or less known to the stu dents of old English literature. But many of them were written for the nonce by Boott jimself and these were cred ited simply "Old Play." Of the latter sort is the following passage, which ap pears at the head of chapter 1i, vol. 2, of the original edition (1822) of "The Fortunes of Nigel." It introduos a chapter In which the bully Capt. Cole pepper figures largely. ueash Durklr --illbao' the wr,'1 errot.-It h tth tmen spoke to often. The spell hath lost Its charm, I t0ll thee, frind. he mta estt our that trots the i ,rots will tur Ad str against you, rffrolrnv batln lo. 8. .--'Ts art h1all do It. I II doe mon greIs ; Or, in vpln terms. I'll uso th' private knife. 'Htead of the bradlished fanulhhlon. Here the word "doze" is plainly used almost exactly in the sense which it has in bull-doze. The passage is, I be lieve, not quotable from any old play if it were, so much the better- but almost surely it is Scott's own. Where did he get the verb doze in that sense ? I confess that I do not know. I am un able to trace it. But although he "made up" the professed quotation, it is not at all probable that he made this word. For to do so would have been at variance with his purpose, whloh was to produce some thing whlch would on its face support the pretense that It was from the work of some old English dramatist, one of the Elizabethan period; for that is the style of the passage. At any rate here we have the word doze used more than fifty years ago by a British author just In the sense-in which it has so suddenly tome into use in "America." It is at least another warning not to assume a purely "American" origin for the slang phrases which spring so suddenly into Use among us. , . w .... ..., , PUIISIIDINTIAL COUNTI. Thuoma Jefflren's Plan for the settle inent of Electoral Dlsputes. The New York World is indebted to Miss Sarah N. Randolph, a great grand daughter of Thomas Jefferson, for a memorandum, prepared by her illus trious ancestor, of practical suggestions toward a bill to regulate the decision of disputes over the result of a presidential election. Miss Randolph is a grand daughter, also, of Wilson Cary Nicholas, who was a Senator from Virginia in 180o, and this document, which is ap pended, was found among the latter's papers about two months ago, too late for use in the heated congressional de bates on the late presidential election. The following is the memorandum, which is published by the World in fac simile: .JEFFERSON'S MEMORANDUM. Whereas, on an election of President or Vice President of the United States, questions may arise whether an elector has been appointed in such manner as the Legislature of his State may have directed ? Whether the time at which he was chosen and the day on which he gave his vote, were those determined by Con gress ? Whether he were not at the time a Senator or Representative of the United States, or hnld an office of trust or profit under the United States ? Whether one at least of the persons he has voted for is an inhabitant of a state other than his own ? Whether the electors voted by ballot and have signed, certified and trans mitted to the President of the Senate a list of all the persons voted for and the number of votes for each ? Whether the persons voted for are natural-born citizens or were citizens of the United States at the time of the adoption of the constitution, were thirty-five years old and had been four teen years resident within the United States ? And the constitution of the United States having directed that the presi dent of the Senate shall, in the pres ence of the Senate and House of Repre sentatives, open all the certificates, and that the votes shall then be counted from which is most reasonably inferred that they are to be counted by the mem bers composing the said houses and brought there for that office, no other being assigned them, and inferred the more reasonably, as thereby the consti tutional weight of each State in the election of these high officers is exactly preserved in the tribunal which is to judge of its validity, the number of Sen ators and Representatives from each State composing the said tribunal being exactly that of the electors of the same State. Be it therefore enacted, etc. [Here in sert the former clause.] Provides that the certificates of the executive of any State shall be conclu aive evidence that the requisite number of votes has been given for each elector named by him as such. I Here add all other limitations on the preceding ques tions which may be thought proper, stating what the two Houses shall not decide.] And be it further enacted, That when soever the vote of one or more of the electors of any State shall, for any cause whatever, be adjudged invalid, it shall be lawful for the Senators and Repre seatatives of the said State, either in the Uesoe of the two Bouses. or separate ly and withdrawn from them, to decide by their own votes to which of the per sons voted for by any of the electors of their State (or to what person) the in valid vote or votes shall be given, for which purpose they shall be allowed the term of one hour and no longer, during which no other certificate shall be offered or proceeded on. NO NEWS PROM til1a WAR PIERITTEDI TO TIE PEOPLE OF IIUMSlA. t0orrespondenae London Tlmhr.] The Gorlo regrets, and other Russian journals can not help noticing, the pro longed absence of Russian olfoicial news from the seatof war. It is also remarked that the population of the villages and minor towns -that is very nearly the whole population of the Empire--have, since the beginning of the campaign, been left In ignorance of what is going on. The circulation of newspapers among the rural classes being always jealously watched by the government, the announcement at the beginning of the campaign that an official journal would be published at the seat of war, chiefly for the benefit of the mid dle and lower orders, created univeral satisfaction. The promised journal, however, has either not been pub lished or, at any rate, not been made accessible to people at home. Nor are any lists of wounded and killed pub lished, netwithstanding the strictest and most detailed promises to that effect given at the commencement of the war. The upshot of it all is that the immense majority of the Russian people neither know what is happening at the seat of war, nor whether their friends and relatives in the army are dead or alive. Efforts also to remedy this sorry state of things have been prevented by the government. An at tempt of some municipal bodies to cir oulate printed sheets containing war news has been stopped by the authori ties. The offer of a large number of students to go out and assist illiterate soldiers in writing home has been de clined, on the plea that it is part of the duty of the Sisters of Charity to corre spond for the sick and wounded. - ,,- -- ,4m-,-- ... .... NEW ORLEANS. [Dallas Commercial ] In an article headed, "Aid for the South," the Mobile Register says: "In three years Texas will have a population of two millions, and will he entitled to twenty representatives in Congress. With the Ptaolfic road com pleted across her territory, it is impos sible to estimate how great will be her growth in population and commerce. The commerce must flow mainly to New Orleans, and there must be the grandest city of this continent." That suits us; we will supply the Congressmen if we have to serve ourself, and we think, too, that New Orleans should be the great city. ----- * ----- - THE TRUNK LINEN POOLINU.

Al bert Pink, the Southern Railroad mana ger, and one of the first students of railroad management In the country, is given charge of this arrangement, to see that It is faithfully observed, and to harmonize difficulties. --- ----**~~----- The regular army should be increased to 100,000 men.--St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. 100 CANAL bTItEET. -ON ACCOUNT O1F LIQUIDATION. 1ET COST PRICES.
