THE RICHMOND DISASTER.
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.
