A Kemfdy for Constitutional Defect.
Thh fsot that Audr--w Johusnn had so far
Violated bid profound rVHrenoe) for the Con
stitution as It wan bawled down to u by the
founder of th Rxpririlio, as to racomoawnd
Wholesale? revision of boojh of its vital fea
ture", taken in eonueotion with the rare ooiir.
tesj and inoffrnwive eartiHttn'8s whioh cha
racterise hla menKage to Cmigrena on the Btib
Jeot, entitles bis proposition to a candid aul
respeotful conaidera'iou. Mr. Jhusou is not
the first Pr"ttiit prote-sing an iutense ad
miration for "the Couxtitution at it is,"
who has, notwithtttauriioK this admiration,
leen anxi-ua to modify it in Home
essential respects. Andrew Jirksoo before
him was piniilarly anxious to mxlify the fun
cl ni-ntal law on the 6ntjr,t of the elnution of
Our Chief Magistrate, aud on his recommenda
tion and arguuieuts Mr. Johnson has lirgly
drawn. But Preiid-nt Jaokou's anxiety to
deprive the Uoue of Representativi-s of the
privilege of di-oidiug a I'rewidnu'iil ontest
whioh tailed of a swttlniuHtit at the hands of
the people was the result of the hitter dis
appointment whioh he sutl-irel in 1321, when
Henry Clay's paramouut iutlnnoe in the
House m-de John Qciiucy Adams President,
And is there'ore entitled to much less weight
than th argauieuts of his euouessor,
Mr. Johnson fully ielizH the fact that the
Electoral ColVge is an agHuny which teu is to
prevent, rather thau to ascertain and express
the will of a majority of the p"ople. Hitherto
it bas woiked as well as any other system
would have done, for w th the &tug)e exception
Of Jackson's defeat by th House, in 1321,
When he received the largest support both
from the people aud the Electoral College,
every President duly declared elected hti hi
& large plurality of a'.l the votes cast by the
people, although iu the cases of Polk in 1841,
Taylor in 1843, Uuchauau iu lb56, aud Lin
coln in I860, the successful candiiates
did not receive on the popu ar vote a clear
majority over all their diif-ieut competitors,
as was showu in the valuable tables which we
recently published. Bat Mr. J.ibua u's pro
posed ameudiueut fails to etrike at the root of
the difficulty. The divxiou of the S ates iuto
Electoral Districts will not prevent, unlr
certain contingencies, the election of a mi
nority President. Iu cases where there are
three or more caudidates iu the field, Mr.
Johnson propones tlritt the oue receiving the
greatest minjber of votes iu a rerttin Kleotoral
I?iBtriot "shall lie holdeu to have reo-ived oue
Tote." In this way it would still be possible
for one candidate to cany a clear majority
Of all the Electoral Di-tricts, aud yet to
receive a mete minority of the entire vote.
"When there are but two opposing candidates
it might frequently bapptiu that oue would
oarry a bare majority of the E ectoral Dis
tricts by a Lire umjurity of the votes cast;
While his opponent might receive au over
Whelming vote in the remaiuing District, and
a large majority of all the votes oast. Such
a result might ensue if all the Districts were
equal or nearly equal in pomt of votiug popu
lation; much more frequeutly might it happen
under a eyt-tem by which the State of Dela
ware wonld be divided iuto three Districts,
with about six thousand voters iu each, while
the average voting population of the twenty
six districts of the S.ate of Pennsylvania
would be over twenty-three thousand.
Th true remedy for the evils of the Electo
ral College system id to do awty entirely with
the gross inequali'y of the Slates in the ohoic
Of a Chief Magistrate, aud to appeal directly to
the people of the Union at large. Tue ioequttity
of representation in the Electoral C llege, whioh
Mr. J ibuson, being au old fashioued S .ales"
rights Democrat, proposes to retaiu, id alto
gether a piece of iujustioe wh'oh should have
been swept away by th war for the Uuiou,
along with the other ditigerous heresies of the
States-rights doctrines, tisoessiou aul re
Jjwllion were btsed upou these heresies,
and were essayed iu a vain eud-ta-vor
to uphold them agaiust the spirit
of the age aud thM geuius of our republic tu
institutious. Wuile we are ab nt the task of
Xemoielliug the framework of our Government,
the ridioulous anomaly or tlotliiug 0000 voters
nthe State of Del i ware with a power in ths
Choice ot our Chief Magistrate equal to that
exercised by 23 OuO voters in the contiguous
State of Penury Ivauia should no longer be per
mitted to reiiiaiu. It is inhereutly uojust,
nndemooia'ic, aud nnreanouable, and the very
people who should be most eager to
Btrip tbem-elves of this nnequal Bhare
of power vhoutd be the voters of Delaware
and other S ates wiiiuh have a small repre
sentation iu the H"use of Representatives. By
placiDg a voter in Delaware ou a perfect equal
ity with a voter in Penuslvauia, aud then
appealing to the peoj Ht larg-, aud not to
those dangerous aud 8,rit-b.g. uiug heresies,
the sovereign ttaes, to druide between the
asplrauts fur the highest honors of the nation,
our institutions will lie rendered truly Demo
cratic, in practice as well as iu theory.
Mr. Johnson furthermore deeuu it iu'xpe
dient to lodpe iu the House of Representatives
the Settlement of a Pret-ideuMal contest which
the people fail to decide, aud by way of remedy
for this imaginary evil he proposes the h tiding
fa fctcond election to determine the choice of
(be people between the two candidates re
ceiving the vote of the greatest number of
Kleotoral District, failing in which the luo
oessful oandidate shall be the one "who shall
have received the greatest number of votes in
the greatest number of States" another out
oropping of the States-rights heresy. The
members of the House of Representatives are
the direct representatives of the people
of the United States, and that body
is the most fitting one to decide
a contest in which the people are so divided
auioi g themselves as to be usable to oast a
clear majoiity in favor of any one candidate.
But when a Precedential election is referred to
the House for settlement, each member of
that body should exercise an equal voice, aui
not each State, as under the present system
Iu that way the fairest aud fullest expression
ot the popular will could be ascertained.
Oue njoie point in this counectiou re malm
to be noticed, and that is Mr. Johnson's pro
position to place the Presideutial eu ioesiioa in
the Cabinet, and net in the presiding offi tors
of the two Houses of Congress and the Jus
tices of the Supreme Court. ITn reootnmeu
dation of this change was uudoub'edly
prompted by the narrow escape male by vlr.
Wade iroui the temporary oooupaucy of the
White House. Hid argumeutd iu sup
port of the change are forcible, aud
entitled to Fouie weight, but in recom
mending such a constitutional provisi u
he surely forgets that the m-tmbsrs of the
Cabiuet are mere creatures of legislation, aud
uuder their present BpeciQj titles unknown to
the Constitution itself. It would uu 1 tubteily
be well to have the question settled by au
iirepealahle fundamental law; but, if the heads
of the different departments are to be mvl-i
the constitutional successors of the Preideut
aiid Vice-President, in ease of a vacancy, they
mutt first be created by virtue of au express
provision of the Constitution, reuleriug a til
another amendment of that instrument au
imperative necessity.
The Nomination for District Attorney
It would be a serious misfortuue if the Itip'tb
lnan Convention ab ut to assemble to nomi
nate a new candidate for Dintriat Attorney
f-Loulrt fad to make the best possible use of the
opportunity it wilieujov, not in -rely of recti
fying an error, but of a I ling n w streng h to
the Republican ticket, aud turning the Hank
of the Democracy by a first-clas i ouiiaa'iou.
If it has the wisdom to rise above m-re petty
pMSonal considerations, aud to select a candi
date who uuites undoubted ability an 1 bouesty
with popularity, it will deserve the thvikd of
the party, aud render an esseutial servi te to
the citv, the Slate aul the nation.
The least that the public expeot from
the Convention is an uuojeotiouable nomi
nee, but if it has sufuneut sagacity to
choose one wh'm the people will delight to
honor, its labors will prove iu ths hig'm-t de
gree creditable and use'ul. We hope the C n.
vention will, as far as possible, avoid the com
mon error of haviug a candidate forced u jo u
its suffrages by clamorous persistency. Narly
nine nominations out of ten are mvie for n
apparent reattou ex ie,. t, that the nominee an I
his friends have outitue all rivals iu balger
ing, bribing, or cajoliug delegates. We trust
the coming caudidate for District Attorney will
owe his Belection to higher aud more appro
priate ibflueni es, and that he will be chosen
rather becanse the party needs him, thau be
cause he clamors for the nomination.
The Distribution of Anns in the South
ern Slut-B.
Tub Senate yesterday passed a bill providing
for the reduction of the United States army
to 30,000 men. One of its sections authorizes
the Secretary of War to issue Springfield rill-d
niut-kets aud accoutrements to the Governor ot
each Stale, not exceeding oue thousaud for
each Congressional district, which was subse
quently atneud'd to add two thousand musket
to the number furnished each State. Tuis
provision gave rise to an animated debate,
as the Democracy bitterly opposed it. It
appears that the Government iu distributing
a portion of its surplus arms, id ouly following
past precedents, aud as it possesses nearly a
million and a half of rill id munkets ani car
bines it can well afford to spare a few hundred
thousand for the use of the militia of the
country. Bat it was charged aud admittei
that the distribution of these arms in the
South has a special tiguiQcanoe. The Rebels
Btill possess a large portiou of the arms they
used during the Rebellion, while the new loyal
Slate governments are totally destitute of
niut-kets and munitions of war. As the threat
id constantly made in various shapes that
the t constructed governments are to be
overthrown by revolutionary measures,
it id just and proper that they should
be protected, not merely by the small body of
tioops now in the S mth, whose number will
rapidly dim'uish uuder the new bill providing
for a reduction of the army, but by their own
taithtul adherents. Ad Pi auk Blair, the
Democratic candidate for the Vioe-Preaideucy.
only gave ntterau. e to the geueral desire of
the Southern Relel Democracy when he de
clared that they should overturn at all
I azards the reconstruction po'icy of Congress
as the Rebel leaders frequeutly reiterate
the threat that the iutaut the troops are
withdrawn they" will regain power in the
South by the re-establishuieut of the reign 0 '
terror, and as they repeatedly show that they
are admirably qualitl d to play the part o'
Thngs,.orto inaugurate wholesale uiasstcres,
it is well for these boasting remnauts of
chivalry to be made to understand toat blows
can be given as well as taken, anl that, as the
army which now restraiud their murderous
proclivities id withdrawn, a loyal organized
militia will take its place to enforce the will of
the nation aud to give Rebelliou ltd quietus.

THE KEY. DR. SOMEHOWY-OK-OTIIEU
Makes a practice of giving half of his marriage
fees to his wife. Tbis generally works well,
aud the amiable aad accomplished lad is very
fond of it.
lint, on a recent ocoaaion, the learned cler
gyman was bothered about making the divi
Bion. A thonghtful bridegroom presented
him with a magnificent salt of ROCKHILL &
WILSON'S CLOTHES; coat, vest, and pants.
Tbe wife claimed her half. But-how should
the lot be divided f Neither coat nor vest Ot
the body, and as to her wearing the pacta.
Ioodp, it wouldn't do at all. So the clergyman
had to keep the whole fee himself; and he said
that he never had a better fee In his life; and
that he wished that in future, wbeu folks name
lo get married, they wonld bring the fee in
like manner, from ROCKHILL & WILSON'S.
Gentlemen who intend to get married, also
tbote who are already married, also young
men and boja who won't get married for seme
time to come, together with all other aorta aud
conditions, are invited to call and eee the tre
mendous stork of elegant summer raiment,
