THE BALLOT AND VIVA VOCE.
John Ptwart BIili., the English writer on
political oconomy, Las recently propounded
to the Social Science Association of Phila
delphia sundry qnestionR in regard to the
practical operation of the vote by ballot. In
England the old tiea wee mothod still pre
,ailH, despite the efforts of the Liberals to
fmpplant it by the ballot, and he probably
hopes that the answers to his queries will be
of such a character that they will furnish new
ammunition to the advocates of the proposod
reform. No party and scarcely a single pub
lio man in this State doubts the superiority of
our system, and we would no more think of
returning to the antiquated and inferior Eng
lish method in general elections than of giv
ing up railroads to go back to turnpikes. The
principle underlying the whole subject may
be briefly stated in the allegation that it is
right for Legislators and Congressmen to
have their votes publicly recorded, because
they act as representatives, and their con
stituents should be apprised of their course
on every publio measure on which a call of
yeas and nays is demanded; but the people,
acting for themselves alone, and being re
sponsible to no one, should be relieved from
all aooonntability for the exercise of their
private judgment on publio questions.
It must be confessed, however, - that, like
all other human institutions, even the ballot,
AS established in this eity, is not absolutely
perfect; and we could not give entirely
satisfactory answers to all of Mr. Mill's
questions. For instance, he wishes to 4Aow
whether "absolute secrecy" is secured, and
whether any official is cognizant of the vote.
If Mr. Mill was to' inquire minutely into
the reeult of the comparatively few instancos
where voters endoavored to maintain
seorecy when shrewd election officers wished
to ponetrato it, he would find that the efforts
of the reticent voters had rarely been crowned
with fluocess. At nearly every election efforts
are made to have the headings of the re
spective tickets printed in a type which will
insure their identification by politicians
learned in such matters, and whon there is
reason to suspect that these headings are
, designedly imitated, other plans are speedily
devised to ascertain the real proclivities of
doubtful voters. 1
Mr. Mill's question whether voters are
"desirous of concealing their opinions and
votes," however, may be emphatically
answered in the negative. As a rule they
are remarkably free and outspoken, and
doubts about the political position of Ameri
can voters or a desire for concealment occur
only in exceptional cases.
When Mr. Mill asks "what influences,
such as corruption, intimidation, or other,
have most effect on the vote, and does the
ballot protect the vote fully from these, or in
what point does it fail to do so ?" his quory
brings into strong relief the superiority of
the Amerioon system. To the honor of our
voters be it Baid that cases of corruption and
intimidation are extremely rare, and in pro-
portion to numbers, a hundred English voters
are either bought or frightened to one Ame
rican. The great mass of our citizens are as
completely above the reach of suoh influences
as the proudest nobles of Great Britain. The
'other" influences by which they are chiefly
swayed are their partisan affinities, or, in a.
' few cases, personal friendship.
- An answer neariy as Bausiactory couiu ue
given to his question whether the body of
. . Af am ora 4i n f 11i rta-nt ft .1 nrwvo van tItt aarnvrarl
1VVVI.O MW WVV-.OT llUVt -.t UUMJ U TT K J U V
only by publio motives, . but an English,
man who is not familiar with the ramifica
tions of our politics, and with the prevailing
. thirst for office, would not be likely to cotnpre
hend, without minute explanations, the extent
to which our political maohinery is manipu
lated by men inspired, in part, by personal
ambition. ' - -' '
Mr. Mill's last query is as follows:
"Do you think open or secret votlnjf best secures
the expression of ttio elector's convictions, exposed
as do u in uie one case to lnuniiuauon, uuu ia mo
otlmr screened Irom the healthy lutluuuce of public
opinion Y"
This question, too, displays an ignorance
of the workings of the ballot in this country
which is scarcely pardonable. It implies that
its use screens Amerioan voters "from the
healthy influence of publio opinion," and that
this faot is as notorious as the intimidation of
British voters under the viva voce system,
t If Mr. Mill wishes to be enlightened, he should
at the outset divest himself of this totally
erroneous idea. Ne man hero is screened
from the force of publio opinion, and it is in
reality far more potent than it would be under
a viva voce system, for where that prevails it
is the rich and powerful, the owners of large
landed estates or the proprietors of cotton
mills, mainly, who are feared, whjle here the
massed, when they are fully aroused, can
wield a potential influence in all questions,
and award Bpoedy punishment politically to
those who inour their displeasure, or shower
honors upon their favorites.
Fortunately for the honor of our oountry,
Mr. Mill does not ask about the operations of
the "repeaters." Perhaps if he did we should
be obliged to confess that the English system
may have the solitary virtue of furnishing a
better safeguard against their rascality than
our own.
THE ALASKA SWINDLE. ,
Evkb Binoe we paid our money for Alaska we
have been hoping almost against hope that it
might possibly turn out to be of some value,
but exactly how we were to get the interest
on our investment no one was able to say. It
now seems likely that Alaska will prove a
rather ' expensive land speculation, and that
'it will remain on our hands as a legacy of the
Johnson administration and Mr. Seward's
diplomacy, to romind us thai sometimes, at
least, tho proverbial Yankee outenes in driv
ing a bargain is seriously at fault in matters
of considerable moment. The fact
is .that we have !been badly
sold in the purchase of Alaska,
and we would be well off if the money paid
to Knsfiia was all that it will cost n. In com
pliance with a resolution off the House of
Keprcsentatives, the Secretary of the Trea
sury hoa presented a statement of the rer
ceipU and disbursements in Alaska since it
has been in our possession. By this statement
it appears that the Collector of Customs iu
Son Francisco has paid out on account of the
revenue cutter service, in excess of what
he would have disbursed if the vessols had
remained in port, the sum of $100.00(7. The
other items of exponso in this linejaro:
Disbursements by the Collector of Customs
at Sitka on account of collect ingre venue
from customs and revenue cutter service,
fl01,3.r;j. Disbursements on account of spe
cial service, $(!2'J4. Disbursements on
account of tho War Department in excess of
what would have been disbursed had tho
troops been stationed elsewhore in the United
States, $3:10,000. Disbursements on account
of Post Office Department to Sept. 30, 18G!',
$212. Total disbursements, !ji."97,7H. Receipts
from customs, $21,832. lleceipts from Post
Office, $518. .Total, .$21,8".0. Disburse
ments in excess of receipts, $."i7G,93.. The
Secretary of War soys that of the $330,000
Bpentby the department, more than $100,000
was expended in the purchase and equipment
of a steam vessel employed in the transporta
tion of public troops, which vessol, with due
allowance for wear and tear and risks of
navigation, will long continue to represent a
considerable portion of the sum expended
npon the Bame.
' These ficrures speak for themselves, and
need no comment. ,
THE FICKEN SHOOTING CASE
AGAIN. I
Yesterday there was another hearing of the
Ficken shooting case in the Court of Quar
ter Sessions, and on the Burgeon's testimony
that the boy Cnrran appeared to be out of
danger, it was decided to release Ficken on
bail, to answer the charges against hiui in
the bill returned by the Grand Jury. The
District Attorney desired that tho bail should
be fixed at $20,000, giving as his reasons that
the dofendant was a rich man, and that as he
contemplated leaving the country, tho
amount should be placed at such a figure as
will guarantee that he will be on hand when
he is wanted. ' Ficken's counsel protested
against this, and attempted, to persuade the
Court that his client was a persecuted indi
vidual, and that $20,000 would be most op
pressive bail. Judge Ludlow, in rendering
his decision, took exactly the right grounds,
and said very justly that what might be op
pressive boil in one cose would be laughed at
in others. "The only object the Court had in
fixing the amount of the bail bond was to
secure the attendance of Ficken to answer
- i
the charge against him whon his case comes
up for trial. The testimony showed that the
accused was wealthy, and also that he con
templated leaving the country, and under
these -circumstances the Judge considered
himself perfectly justified in fixing his bail in
the Curran case at $12,600, which, with
the $2500 domanded by the magistrate
and the $5000 in tho caso 1 of the boy Isaao
Barker, would make a total of $20,000, whioh
under the circumstances was no more than
justice . required. . The Judge then admo
nished Ficken that it would be well for him
to surrender himself at once if his viotim
should grow seriously worse, and he repelled
the insinuation of Ficken's counsel that be
had been influenced by either personal or
political motives in anything that he had
done or said with regard to the case, and con
cluded his remarks by saying "that so far as
tie Court is concerned it h a matter of little
importance who the man is, he will bo triod
according to law. If he is guilty he will be
convicted; if he is innocent I hopo he will be
acquitted." There was I great , reason to
fear that efforts would be made to hush the
affair up, and prevent it from being brought
before the courts, on account of Ficken s
wealth and supposed influence and Social
pobition. " The District Attorney is . entitled
10 great creuu xor xiis prompt uuu euiuiouw
action,' and there is now a fair chance that
. ' a L! a a .
exact justice will be done, and the outrage
avenged by Ficken being obliged to delay his
journey to Europe until after he serves out a
term in the Penitentiary. I
'HOMICIDE THROUGH- IMPIiU.
dence::,,
If Richard ciceen or rimadoipma were a
Frenchman and a member of the Imperial
family, he would probably be tried upon the
charge of "homicide through imprudence,"
which is the novel title that has been invented
by the French officers of justioe for the crime
of Prince Pierre Bonaparte in shooting Victor
Noir. It will not be difficult to foretell the re
sult of a trial based upon such a charge, and
the pleasant anticipations of Rochefort that a
Bonaparte would be the sucoessor of Traupp-
man under the axe of the guillotine will
scarcely be realized. There is a saying in the
United Spates navy that it is practi
cally impossible to convict an
Admiral before a court-martial, ' and
that it is almost as difficult to acquit a com
mon sailor; so in France' the conviction of a
Bonaparte for the "imprudent homicide" of
a journalist, who had abused the imperial
family would be a phenomenon even greater
than the aoquittal of a journalist for offenses
against the press laws. While the indict
ment against the assassin of Victor Noir is
equivalent to an aoquittal, or at least that he
will at the most only be obliged to undergo a
nominal punishment, the prosecution and
conviction of editors who dare to say what
they think are being carried on with relent
less vigor. Yesterday the cable furnished u
with a considerable list of journalists who
had ' been sentenced to fine
and imprisonment, ;and to-day the
same despatch that informs us of the exact
character of Tierre Bonaparte's crime as de
fined by the legal representatives of his impe
rial cousin, also announces that Victor Fou-
ville, one of the editors of La MarsclUa-i.it,
and the companion of Noir whon he waited on
bis assassin has been sentenced to six months'
imprisonment and to pay a fine of five hun
dred franos for violating the press laws. This
style of administering justice may suoceod in1
crushing out opposition to imperialism for a
time, but it will 'ertainly not increase the
popularity of the Emperor and his family.
Thus far tho Government has, succeeded in
holding in chock the revolutionists, and it
would do muoh to confirm its power if it
would send Pierre Bonaparte to the guillo
tine, jnst as they occasionally hang a lord in
England to prove the impartiality of British
law; but as matters are likely to turn out, the
imprisoned editors may prove the masters of
the Emperor, even if they are blackguards
and , demagogues with whose revolutionary
schemes sensible people can' have but little
sympathy. ' ' . j
