The terrible catastrophe that occurred yesterday morning at Richmond, Virginia, Jby the falling in of a portion of the Capitol building, will call forth the prof oun dest expression of regret and sympathy in all flec tions of the country. The melancholy character of the disaster has been intensified not merely by the fact that a large number of distin guished publio men are among the sufferers, but that, of all other places in the country, it should have ocourred in the late capital of the Confederacy. The people of the Sdrtlh have suffered so much both during and since the war, that no right-minded person can look upon such an additional visitation as this without more than usual feelings of pity, and a desire to aid, if possible, in the ameliora tion of the misery caused by the cala mity. The conclusion of the war found llichmond in ruins and her people in poverty, and setting aside all poli tical considerations, the victorious North owes it to itself, to the South, and to humanity, to do all that can be done, not only towards re pairing the ravages of the war and laying the foundations of future prosperity in the late rebellious States, but towards cultivating a cordial and hearty sentiment of friendship between the two sections of the Union. The political controversies of the day have to some extent at least served to intensify the bitter feelings excited by the war, and many persons at the Scuth are still impressed with the idea that they have nothing to expect from the North in the way of kindness or respect. This terrible catastrophe furnishes an excellent opportunity for such an expres sion of hearty sympathy and regard as will convince the people of llichmond and the whole South that, in spite of all differences past and present, we are dis posed tjr regard them with none but the most fraternal feelings. It is almost certain that among the families of the killed and wounded of yesterday there will be many who greatly need assistance, and the condition of those injured could doubtless be much ameliorated by the prompt tender of pecu niary aid. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the expressions of sympathy in this and other cities will take a praotical shape, and that a handsome sum of money will be made up immediately and forwarded to Richmond for the benefit of those who need it. One of the lessons of this disaster is the necessity for the greater security of publio buildings that are likely to be occupied by crowded audiences. The Capitol at llichmond was doubtless more or less injured during the war, even if its construction in the first place was all that could be desired. The pro babilities are that all who were assembled in it were confident of its strength, and abso lutely unsuspioious of danger; but with re gard to many of our publio buildings, it is certain that no such feelings of security are likely to prevail, and in many of them there is a constant apprehension of disaster. The laws on this subject should be stringent, and no building intended for the occupation of crowded audiences should ever be permitted to be used unless it is built in such a man ner as to be absolutely beyond suspicion. Particular care should be taken in the con struction of State, municipal, and national edifices that are expected to last for many years, and that will undoubtedly be called Hpon to bear a severe strain on many occa sions. ItEPItESENTA 1'ION OF MINORITIES. Ex-Senator Buckalew is untiring in his efforts to bring about a reform in our present political system. While a member of the National Senate he advocated the cause of minority representation whenever there was a shadow of an excuse for him to do so; but, in the whirl of party strife upon the great question of reconstruction but little atten tion was accorded him, save by a few think ing people here and there in the country, none of the measures which he introduced into the Senate, as was to have been ex pected, came to anything, and his six years' term expired without his being able to secure from the Senate, much less from the country, a patient hearing upon his peculiar hobby. But at the expiration of his national career as a legislator he entered upon a more con tracted arena, where he at once began to de vote his time and attention to his favorite project. The State Legislature of Pennsyl vania, of the upper house of which he is now a member, proved willing to permit him to try an experiment, especially as it was upon a small scale and in no way interfered with the all-engrossing division of the spoils of legislative corruption. Mr. Buokalew resides in the town of BloomBburg, Montour oouaty, and it was this town, where everybody knew him and by force of daily contact all were fully convinced of his sincerity in the advocacy of reform, that was turned over by the Legislature for the experiment. . An act defining the bouu dories and organizing the town of Bloom-)' burg was passed, in which it was provided that in the seleotion of the six members of the town council, each voter might cast one vote for each of six persons, one vote and a half for each of four, three votes for each of two, or six votes for one, at hid option. This system is the one known in theory as the cumulative vote, and for the first time it ha Lad a trial in the United SUtui. It L to La regretted, that the politics of Bloomsburg were very much mixed up at the time of the election which was held there a few days ago, when the provisions of the new charter were put in force. If party lines had been strictly drawn, the operation of the system would have been much more definite and satisfac tory; but, even an it was, the result of this first experiment at cumulative voting should commrtnd the attention of all good men who are anxious to see a docided reform in our present political system brought about. Under the old system, as the voting popula tion of Bloomsburg is usually Democratic by a fair majority, the Democracy would have carried their whole ticket, and the Re publican voters of the town, although com prising nearly one-half of the whole number, would not have sooured a single repre sentative in the Council. But under the cumulative system, it was in their power to concentrate their force upon less than the full number of persons to be elected, and, if they chose to do so to any considerable extent, it became an absolute impossibility for the Democracy to keep them entirely unrepresented. So the Democrats placed but three candidates for the Council in nomination, thinking it better to be sure of one-half of that body than to risk the election of two alone by attempting to secure the triumph of four. The opposition ticket contained tour names, however, two of them being Republicans and two Democrats, so that there were, all told, five Democrats and two Republicans running for the six seats in the town council, while both the can didates for President for which position the voting was done in the ordinary way were of Democratic proclivities. As the result of the election for members of the Council, the three regular Democratic candidates, the two Republicans on the opposition ticket, and one of the Democrats on the latter ticket, were elected, and the Republican minority in Bloomsburg is fairly represented, as it should be. Although the names of the candidates are of no interest to the great world outside of Bloomsburg, we give them below, with the number of votes received by each, in order to illustrate the precise workings of the sys tem of cumulative voting: Charles O. Barkley (Op p., Dem.) 429 William B. Koons (Dem ) 893)tf John bbarpless (Opp., Rep.) 8'J2 Caleb Barton, (Opp., Kep.) set Frederick C. Kyer (Dem.) 862tf Stephen Knorr (Dem.) 291 S. V. Shlve (Opp., Dem.) 28i)tf Scattering ssjtf Total votes !534 Total voters. 422 When the system which here worked so well is extended to a larger constituency, it will readily be seen that its results might prove most satisfactory. Take, for example, the States of Massachusetts and Kentucky, the one largely Democratic, the other largely Republican. The present delegation from Massachusetts in the House of Representa tives, ten in number, is entirely Republican; while the Kentucky delegation of nine mem bers ia entirely Demooratio. At the last election in Massachusetts, the Republi can candidates polled, in round numbers, 132,000 votes, while the Demooratio candi dates polled CO, 000. Yet, the districts being so shaped that the Republican majorities were evenly distributed, every Republican candidate was elected by a large majority, and the 00,000 Demooratio voters of the State are at this moment with out a Representative in the national Capitol. If the delegation were a fair expo nent of the political sentiment of the State, it would stand seven Republicans to three Democrats, and it would have so stood if the Demooratio minority had been able, through the agency of the cumulative vote, to concen trate its strength upon three candidates who would have been certain of an election, in stead of frittering it away upon ten, every one of whom was certain of being defeated. This is the argument from the Demo cratic standpoint, but from the Republican side it is equally for cible. At the last Congressional election in Kentucky the Republicans polled about 3G,000, and the Democrats about 112,000, the Democratic majority being overwhelming in every district except the Eighth. In justioe,' the 80,000 Republican voters of this State were entitled to at least two Representatives, while the Democrats were entitled to but seven at the most. But, under the present system, which runs the theory of the rule of the majority into the ground, the 30,000 Re publicans of Kentucky and the 00,000 Demo crats of Massachusetts are practically disfran chised, as far as national legislation is con cerned, the wrong done in the case of the one being no less grievous than in that of the other. Thus far, the most practical remedy suggested for evils of this nature is the sys tem of cumulative voting, but we fear that its general adoption is very far off in the future. THE DRULES ON THE WAR PATH. The amiable disposition of the gentle savages of the Brule band of Sioux Indians is well dis played in a despatch forwarded from Chicago yesterday containing intelligence sent from Fort Sully, by Gen. Stanley, on the 0th inst., to General Sheridan. . The Bruies are under the leadership of the chief who planned the attack at Fort Phil Kearney, and having massacred a company of United States sol diers when they were surrounded by more than ten times their number of his merciless confederates, he fancies himself able to defy the w hole power of the Government. As an evidence of this disposition he carries matters with a high baud even at the gates of a national fort. He compels friendly bands of Indians assembled in the vicinity to abandon it, so that the white men may have no red allies near at hand. He threatens the invasion and destruction of adjacent reservations ocoupied by Indians who are now peaceably disposed. His warriors amuse themselves by flaunting in the face of the agent who represents the American people the scalps of white men they have killed. And we do not wonder, under these circumstances, that "General Stanley is firmly convinced that there can be np peace and no living near the hostile Sioux till they are soundly thrashed." It is the universal experience of army offloers who have been compelled to deal, practioally, with simi lar bands of savages, that an overwhelming defeat is absolutely neoessary to establish a harmonious understanding. Trained to rob and ninrdor from their infancy, this training can only be counteracted by the severe pun ishment of their offenses. Taught to cherish a belief in the invincibility of their tribal organization, this belief can only be de troyed by an absolute demonstration of its fallacy. General Sheridan has undertaken to accomplish this essential task with the hostile Bruies, and we hope he will succeed, despite all efforts that may be made to frustrate his plans, or to identify the cause of humanity with the merciless murderers whom he is about to prepare for a course of civilization. SPAIN AS A REPUBLIC. Spain, according to the latest intelligence, appears to be gravitating towards a republic, although the rumors on this point are appa rently entitled to as little credit as some others that have emanated from the same source. Procrastination has been the marked feature of the Spanish policy since the ex pulsion of the Queen; and even if a republio should be determined on, it would probably take a year or two to arrange a constitution and to put the new machinery into operation, thus affording France and other powers that might be opposed to such an arrangement an opportunity to put in their veto. It appears, however, that the people are beginning to be heartily siok of the Provisional Government, and to desire that their affairs shall be definitely settled in some way. One of the latest candidates for the vacant throne was Prince Frederick of Prussia, but the French Emperor, already jealous of the growing power and influence of Prussia, has entered such a deoided protest that there is scarcely a probability that the fopaniards will risk ex citing a conflict by choosing a king who will have the double disqualification of being a Protestant and inimical to France. The Re gent Serrano, who is probably heartily sick of his job by this time, is reported to have de clared himself in favor of a republic, pro vided General Prim will consent, and if these two leaders will unite upon such a solution of the Spanish problem, it is not improbable that they may succeed in carrying a majority of the nation with them. Whether Spain will be able to succeed under a republican form of government better than she has under the Bourbon monarchy and the re gency of Serrano is one of the things that the future only can determine. A republio de mands an intelligent and educated people, who know what their rights are, and how to maintain them, and few friends of republi canism will care to see it brought into dis credit by a failure in Spain. From the way things have gone, however, during the last two years, the probabilities are that the Span iards will be able to get along as well under a republican as under any other form of gov ernment, and it would be at all events grati fying if they could try the experiment, if only for the sake of putting an end to the present uncertain and unsatisfactory state of affairs.
