FRAUD IN PRESIDENTIAL, ELECTIONS.
from the iV. 1'. 77mm.
Mr. Chnrles Frauds Alixmx, Jr., culled at
tention, in bin paper lead bofoiv tho Nodal
Science AsHocinliou on Wednesday lat, ton
danger which n large number of our thinking
men perceive, but which, n ifi is not a cou
nt ant but nn intermittent ihiw;cr, presontin
itself only nt intevvnl. of foil- your, it will
probably be diOirult to pel tho country at
lare to iix its attention on. much less pro
vide against. Jt was brought into notice, not
Jirst, but for the lirst time prominently, by
the way in which th'i Democrats carried this
State for Seymour and Hoffman at the last
Presidential election; and tho exposure of tho
frauds which they perpetrated on thut occa
sion was mainly valuable as an indication, not
of Democratic depravity we kuew all about
that before but of tho evils attendant on tho
present mode of electing tho President.
Nobody needs to be told how tho present,
Kysteni of choosinr; tho Electoral Collego by tho
popular vote, and leaving tho college to choose
the President afterward, has degonerated into
a sorry farce. The Electoral College has now
nothing whatever to do with the choice of the
President, beyond carrying tho result of tho
popular vote to tho State capital to be counted
and recorded. Tho people in reality choaso
the President directly, and simply use the
electors, provided for by the Constitution, as
messengers, lint hero comes the mischief of
tho thing. The vote in each Stale simply goes
to elect the electors, one for each Senator aud
Representative sent to tho State by Congress;
and these electors always represent simply
the State majority. If tho Demoorats poll one
thousand more votes than the Republicans
at any Presidential election in this Stale, it
does not give them simply little over half the
State vote for tho President it gives them
the whole of it. The minority disappears
from view, and has no further part or lot ia
tho election; it does not go to help tho vote
of either candidate in any other State, as it
would if the President were elected by tho
direct vote of the whole people. The contest
in each State at the Presidential election
therefore decides which of the two
great parlies shall cust tho whole State
vote. If one side of them wins in
this State by one vnlt it obtains thirty
three votes iu the Electoral College; and
thirty-three votes are a great deal. They
may, or a much smaller number might, any
day, turn the scale. It will thus be seen at
& glance that the temptation to fraud is
enormous, and we all know that the facilities
for frauds are enormous, and increase in all
the large cities. The Democratic managers
way, at any Presidential election in which
the contest is close, win tho day by simply
doing enough personating, and repeating,
nnd forging, and ballot-stuffing here to carry
this State or Pennsylvania over. They
might in this way neutralize the whole
honest vote of Ohio, or Minnesota, or Califor-
nia; the fact that they had done so might
be notorious, but for offenses of this sort
there is absolutely no constitutional remedy.
Ohio or Minnesota or California thus cheated
out of the legitimate result of her majority
would have nowhere to go for redress. Even
if there were a tribunal competent to hear
such a plaint, party passions would run far
too high to render it possible for it to docido
it. There would be but one alternative open
fighting or submission, and as men do not
lightly enter on civil war, the victims of the
fraud would probably may we not say will
probably ? for some time, at least, sit down
under it patiently. The Democrats know this,
and we have little doubt will govern themselves
accordingly. If it should ever appear, and it
may appear any day, that the vote of New
York or Pennsylvania is all that is needed to
put the Democratic candidate in the White
House, we may feel sure, judging from what
happened last year, that it will be secured for
him to a certainty. Supposing it to be done,
and supposing the whole country to know it,
what should we do ? This is a good question
for people to ask themselves, and the time to
ask it and get the answer ready is now, in
the midst of . peace and quieluess, and not
after it comes up and presses for instant
solution.
Suppose, on the other hand, that the Presi
dent were elected, as many people would like
to have him, by the direct popular vote, and
the victory be thus awarded to the candidate
obtaining a majority of the total vote of the
Union. Suppose the contest should be, as it
may be at any time, very close, aud tho ma
jority claimed were not over ten thousand
votes; and suppose that we had positive proof
that this majority had been obtained by the
forcible driving away of the weaker party
from the polls in such States as Texas, or Ar
kansas, or Georgia what should we do about
it ? Should we quietly install this product of
ruffianism in the White House, and go on as
if nothing had happened, thus tempting the
perpetrators liitu a ipjcuuuu oi it every iuur
yeara ever after '( Docs not tho mere asking
of such a question suggest a difficulty of the
most awful kind to every thinking man ?
How, then, are we to conjure away this
shape of dread which now hangs constantly
before our eyes ? There is only one way, as
Mr. Adams pointed out on Wednesday, and
that is by breaking up each State of the
Union into equal electoral districts, but so
small that frauds perpetrated in any one spot
would only affect at best a kiuhII number of
votes. At present, each State constitutes
for the purposes of the Presidential election
a district in itself of enormous size, which
can be lost or won by a single throw.
Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, as a result of his
- examination of the New York eletiou frauds,
introduced into the House last session
an amendment to the Constitution which
provides that each State shall be divided
- into the districts, each containing as
nearly as possible tho same amount of popu
lation. In this way, when the King began to
cheat, instead of being able to carry the
whole State by cheating in three or four
wards of this city, they would, at most, only
gain one or two Presidential votes by it;
while to secure the whole vote of the State
they would have to cheat fn thirty-three dif
ferent places. Whatever defects this plan
may have, it is safe to say a better wjie could
Hot be hit upon, aud w e trust Mr. Lawrence,
or some pni else, will not let it rest when
Coneress meetS. There is time, slow a pro
cess as amending the Constitution is, to push
through an amendment of this kind before
the next Presi iojltiar 'elect ion, and nobody
can doubt who examines the political horizon
at all keenly, thafin ' 172 we may need such
an amendment badly. ,
CANADIAN- CONSOLIDATION OUli
NORTHWEST FirONri Kit.
,. The K4rsnrf the Niow Domiuiouppe ir to
Jieioimmg into importance, both at home
nml abroad.' Our telegrams from Ottawa in
form that the Cabinet' has bocV lvei.u.
structed after a slight ministerial crisis, a
matter of very groat interest to the provitt- I
cial politicians and placemen, but in reality of
slight consequence to any one else. Quebec,
New trims wick nnd Nova Hootia have all got
plenty of places. There is a premier and
ministers and secretaries as usual, and with
all the old familiar names. Canada is not
very productive i1 the matter of statesmen.
Earl tiranvillo, Coloninl Secretary, has for
warded a despatch from Downing street, Lon
don, to the Canadians. The Earl wants th.i
colonists to look to the northwest, and eon
federate Ih-ilish Columbia with the territory
of tho DoMinion. The despatch of
Earl (iranville would bo of cmno
qnence for tho consideration of the United
Stales (iovcrnment. were it not for the facts
that tho people of Dritish Columbia do not
wish to bo confederated; that tho Canadians
do not possess the official talent requisite to
insure such a consummation, and that the
position assumed many years since bythelato
Lieutenant-General Scott on tho subject of
the San Jiutn Islaud possession and tho navi
gation of tho Haro channel will always render
such a movement objectionable to tho Ameri
can people living under our flag. Earl Gran
ville looks to tho establishment of a "British
line of communication between tho Atlantic
nnd Pacific oceans," and tho founding of what
he terms a "San Francisco of liritish North
America," of which, perhaps, in our anticipa
tion, Prince Arthur may become the king, and
that at a day not very far distant. This matter
requires a very serious and early attention on
this side tho line.
l'.y the Atlantic cablo we learn that a most
estimablo lady philanthropist is about to sot
sail from England with a ship load of female
emigrants for Canada. llore is just tho
casual fortunate point of neutralization of
Earl Granville's North American diplomacy;
for President Grant has merely to give the
wink to some of the gallant Irish veterans in
New York and "off they go" to Canada, annex
the whole territory, marry every one of tho
emigrants, and bring the whole lot, politically
and with his "arm around her waist," after
the fashion of Eory O'More, into tho Union
before his lordship has had time to receive
the executive reply of Premier McDonald,
unless ho transmits it by the cablo, and even
on "that line an Irishman ruuning lor a
wife umv bo too ouick and full of electricity
for him. Canada is in danger again.
LOG-CABIN JOURNALISM.
From the X. V. WortO.
When American journalism was very young
and very verdant, or, as tho laureate puts it
''In such a time as goes licfore tlie leaf",
When till the wood hIiiuiI in a mist of green
Ami nothing perfect,"
political newspapers had an absurd notion
that elections were materially affected by their
spasmodic uttcrauccs on the two or three
days which preceded the actual voting. In
stead of devoting themselves to steady and
sound arguments all the year round addressed
to the political reason of their readers, they
prepared to kindle, so far as a lavish use of
superlative adjectives and large type could
do it, their political passions. That was the
time when they chose to precipitate upon the
community the most outrageous slanders
which scurrility could collect or malice in
vent against the candidates of the other party,
The nomenclature of zoology and of entomo
logy was raked to find epithets suitable to tho
champions ot the otuer side, while the martyr.
olotiv and tho lives of tho saints furnished
but faint shadows of tho glories of one's own.
Typocrapliy soared into ornithology to ex
press jubilation over victory or to add a sting
to defeat. oters were assured that the tato
of their country and mankind was to be de
cided by the choice of the pound-master of
Podunk. On the doy of election, aud for a
day or two before, what spells, what coujura
tions, and what mighty magic editors in
voked ! "Voto for Stiggins." "Beware of
Roorbacks." "Another Lie Nailed." "Is
Podsnap a Pickpocket ?" "How About that
Two Dollars?" "Rally! Rally!" "Freemen,
to the Polls." Such were the taking titles
which the journalists of that era prefixed to
their discourse of reason.
But, when men of more sense aud higher
culture began to enter the business ol jour
nalism, it came to be seen how utterly futile
as well as how onensive such a style of con
troversy was. It was seen that the votes of
men were influenced, not by howls and hur
rahs uttered upon tho eve of an election, but
by their own reflections upon facts aud argu
ments submitted to them fairly and dispas'
sionately. Most journals have conducted
themselves accordingly, and, but for one ex
ception in the press, the voters of New York
would only recall the hortatory shrieks we
have been describing as a dim memory of
their boyhood.
That exception, of course, is the Tribune
The political revivalist who conducts it is still
true to the traditions ot his youth, and per
sists m regarding his readers as a pack ot nu
bociles. As when the uncertain bees wande
homeless in tho air: the maid-servant issuing
from the kitchen soothes their souls am
invites them to repose with wild demoniac
dances and frantic percussion of tho trite tiu-
Eou. Not otherwise does Horace Greeley toss
is hoary locks mid pound his clattering
Tribune when the lax radical hesitates to rush
to the poll. Without prejudice to the normal
inventiveness ol the J rtliuur, it is safe to say
that just uetore every election, and particu
larly just now, it outdoes even its usual self
in the recklessness of its statements, the -toss
absurdity of its aspersions, and the chautu
riot of its rhetoric.
Part of this is perhaps due to the fact that
the thus howling Horace is himself a candi
date for office. Having accepted a nomina
tion for a comparatively small office just after
declining the shadow of a nomination for a
larger one, and begging everybody not to
think of nominating him for anything, it is
natural that the ridiculous figure he would cut
iu case of defeat should force itself upon, the
blunt perceptions of a Oreeley and madden
him. But a man whom the prospect of defeat
excites to such absurd demonstrations has no
right to enter a contest. And tho loathsome
spectacle which t ho Tribune at the present
time exhibits to mankind is an excellent rea
son, if any more reasons were needed, why
journalists should not be offijo-scekcrs. No
editor who contemplates the attitude of Ho
race Greeley but will pray to be forever de
livered from a like one.
THE STEAMBOAT CALAMITY ON THIS
MISSISSIPPI.
(Vow the X. Y. Ikrahl,
The Mississippi river has added another to
the innumerable horrors of which from time to
time it has bee.n the terrible scene. The late
disaster tho burning of the steamer Stone
wall on Thursday was perhaps the most lital
in results, as well as the most horrible in its
details, which has been recorded for uuuy a
day. Out of two hundred and fifty people on
hoard that unfortunate boat only ubout thirty
eight are positively known to be saved. The
rest met an awful death, either by fire or
drowning. There appears to be no doubt,
about the cati'-o of tho conflagration. Soma
d'vk passengers were plajing cards, and tho
caudle communioated with the hay which
formed a large part of the cargo, and in an
incredibly short space of time the wholo bo it
was in names, and the terrified pasiengors
were rushing for safety into the turbid stream
to escape death in one shape only to meet it
in another but loss crue? one. Any chances
of escape by tho ordinary means of bo its and
life-preservors thero were none, for there was
but one small boat on board, and. as far as
we know, there were no life-prescrvurs at all.
ith the rectlossnoss which prevails on tue
Mississippi steamboats, the most reckless
mode of travel of all tho loose and dangerous
systems for which this country is proverbial,
tno sntetv ot human lite was the last 1111114
thought of. When wo consider that the
steamboat was only two hundred yards from
the shore, and was beached 111 six loot ot
water at the time when tho direst scenes of
the tratredy occurred, wo can readily imagine
how the presenco of any appliances for safety
might have mitigated ' the extent 01 1110
calamity. But there were none, iravei on
tho Mississippi is tho samo to-day that it was
twentv vears blo a tran tor the untortunaio
traveller, for whom the chances of life and
death are dependent unon a roimh, 111-uis-
ciplined crowd of dock hands and a corps of
indifferent officers without ono drop of tho
milk of human kindness iu their composition.
Italian Industry.
From tlie London Spectator,
It is hard for the Englishman who tra
verses the Italv of to-dav. and observes her
poonlo with unprejudiced eves, to doubt that
she must at no distant period regain mucu 01
her ancient riches. The elameuts of wealth
are there in much abundance. We do not
speak of her soil, although that of France is
beside it but an ungenerous ono, for some of
the richest soils in tho world belong to
povertv-stricken races, and the owners of
Australasia never accumulated a months
supply of food. Nor do we speak of what
are called "natural resources, the mines
and quarries and fruits and cereals in which
Italv is so rich, for countries like India and
Peru, which contain all the world contains,
have often been filled with populations poor
to hunger, and the lavishness of nature too
often seems to paralyze the energy of man.
e speak ' of a source of wealth which we
havo often heard mentioned by shrewd Ita
lians, and have recently watched closely for
oursclvos, the rare industrial faculty of the
Italian people, a faculty which, once put
lorth, must result in great accumulations
The prejudice of Englishmen as to the lazi
ness ot Italians is n prejudico merely, though
it is one not very hard to understand. Tho
aristocracy was till lately indolent in the ex
treme, and the well-to-do middle-class is so
still. Cut off by their foreign oppressor
from all careers, except those connected with
tho Church or the public service, driven from
commerce by ridiculous tariffs, habituated to
economy, nnd lull ot that senso ot enjoyment
in existence which is felt to content
only by tho men of the ' South,
and by them only when nature is
visibly gracious Arabs, Bengalees, aud Peru
vi.ms, for example, are at heart melan
choly peoplo the Italians with a little took
to sauntering, to intrigue, and to half,
humorous, half-satirical gossip, led lives with
out purpose or interest, and found iu the ab
sence of cares compensation for their neglect
ol duties, l or tho most port, the well-to-do
lead those lives still, though a now crave for
wealth, and indeed a new necessity for it, is
gradually driving them out ol their easy
groove. lhen tho shop lite ot which the
foreigner sees so much was, aud in a less de
gree is, an apparently indolent one, Italians,
like Turks, and, indeed, all Asiatics except
tho Chineso, "keeping shop" mainly with
their heads, leaving work, as wo regard it, to
subordinates, and doing most even of their
book-work alter hours or in tho early morn
ing. rinally, the restrictions placed upon
enterprise were so severe that it languished
or died in Naples, for example, during two
generations there was but one investment
for capital, State bonds, which rose, conse
quently, to 120 and work was almost un
procurable, or, when procurable, was paid for
ut rates which made industry seem a waste of
time. It was pleasanter to lounge, or beg, or
work sharply an hour a day, and very nearly
as profitable; and the Italian, who has no in
stinctive impatience of doing nothing, and
whose eyes, wherever he turns, are satisfied
with beauty, accepted the fate which seemed
to him at once unavoidable and endurable
He was aided by a temperance which is a
wonder and almost a ridicule to men of the
more exacting North, and which, if we read
ltoman stories right, must at some time have
been forced on him by necessity. With food
cheaper than it is anywhere in Europe a
Florentine, lor example, can be well fed on
fourpence a day no Tuscan ever eats quite
enough for health. and with wine
almost for the asking, no Italian
out of one or two occupations ' ever
drinks. There was 110 nocessity
for labor, and no reward for it, and the Italiau
is not an Englishman or a Chinese, to work
for work's sake. Even then, however, agri
cultural labor went on, and the cultivator
contrived, by marvellous industry, to extract
a crop so good that ho could pay half to the
owner yet leave himself a sufficient subsists
ence, terraced the hills, and first cause of
his beautiful climate incessantly replanted
tlie ulains. In Italv alone the small culture
has not swent awav the trees, for the trees
produce the rent.
Work came at last with the revival ot en
terprise, remunerative work, work with wages,
and the Italian, after his siesta of centuries,
took to it, with his old activity and his old
power of making tho brain aid the hand.
Everywhere the loungers without money dis
appeared. Milan. Florence, Ancona, Leg
horn, Genoa are as busy as Northern capitals;
and Naples, the city of the Lazzaroui, is a
hive of workmen, who, though they still sleep
in the heat, work on tirelessly from five till
noon and from two till five at their occupa
tions, and then aoain at home far into tho
night, work with a will and an energy equal
to that of any ordinary artisans, though
inferior, no doubt, to that of English nav
vies. Strange to sav. too. the great curse
of all Southern peoplo want of fidolity
to their work is little felt in Italy. The
men take a uride. as of artists, in their
labor, need little sunerintendence, and,
as a rule, alwavs do the vary best, if
not the verv utmost, thev can. and their
bebt is verv good. As builders they are unap
proachable, by the testimony even of English
engineers, while they display, wherever mcy
get the chance, the faculties wanting to Eug
lish workmen of all trades, innate taste and
capacity for invention. M. Haussmaun has
had to import Italian workmen for his opera
house, and wherever anything beyond in
dustry is needed, wherever tho workmen are
required to bo originators, they are at once
forthcoming. Given a trade like the silver
smith's, or tho pearl-caster's, or any ono de
manding either an artist's eye or a special
slight-of-haud, and six weeks' instruction
suffices to secure men whose touch is id its
way as perfect as that of a great sculptor.
Tho result we hope to attain by technical
education and art schools and cultivation
generally hns boen attained in Italy without
effort. Duties can there bo entrustod to la
borers which in l'nrrl mil rkiilil brt
assigned only to the cultivated.
In Nenice, Salyiati's foremen are
men of genius. In Florence, men who can
not read are moulding the stone ornaments
tiou for palaces. In Leghorn and Ancona,
the shipyards are full of men iu blouses wiio
could plan a ship as well as the enmrieers who
employ them. Common carpenters turn out
wood carvings which mako English connois- t
seuis stave, at prices which might make phi
lanthropists wince. Tho workmen in this
trade display a positive genius for furniture
which will yet make it an important trade,
were only foreign carriago more speedy aud
less expensive. In cverv brunch nf ni-nnit'iie.
hire in which something is reonirod bevon 1
organization and machine-liko industry,
English capitalists may find in Italy an end
loss supply of labor such as they can disco
ver nowhere else. A fact or v for ohirf.inrra
would not pay, but a factory for the costliest
velvets, tho finest china, the most elabo
rate UCCOrailons. tUO most, rli.ti.-afa inuti-n.
ments, would. Tho slightest cultivation
would make Italian workmen tho first in the
world, as they were in tho middle aoq. nnd
the cultivation is at hand. In tho cities a
passion for instruction has broken out, and in
jxorin and central Italy the communos are
meeting tho demand most nobly, the single
want being an adequate supply of teachers.
In some towns tho adults am throned nrr tr
night schools, as in Venice, where even the
gondoliers are learning to read: and Florence.
where unskilled laborers, cabmen, masons'
assistants, and the like give two hours of
their rest to learn to read and write, and
record tho calculations which even iu the un
lettered days they could always make. It
needs but time and quiet to make education
ns universal in Italian cities as in Prussia; to
mako it n shame to be icuorant. a shama
under which tho children already wince, and
there will be quiet. .There is a new life
among tho people, and with it a new habit of
order.
