Our town election nn Tuesday Inst
(April 12th,) tinted tho merit of reform
ed' voting ln'n Batlfaetory manner and
gitvo to H ttib sanction of popular opin
ion for tho future. Theoretically It hail
been nccoptetl by reflecting men in
our community as Just and expedionl,
but as tin untrlort plan it was still open
to question among tho tnas-j of our pco
plo. Now, nil doubts of It), utility,
fairness and practicability havo ulsap'
poarcd forever.
We embrace the occasion to point out
to our readers abroad somo of tho cnpl
tal merits of tho Freo Voto aa lllustrat
ed by tho Bloomsburg election, and to
commend It to their support. For It is
greatly to bo desired that tho plan shall
become generally understood and shall
be applied universally in our country
to popular elections.
Tho town of Bloomsburg with its ex
tended boundaries as fixed In the recent
act for Its organization, contains four
thousand inhabitants, or' more, and is
divided into two election districts.
Twenty-two town officers are to bo
chosen by tho town, by general voto,
beside Judges and inspectors for tho
soparato election districts. Of theso
twenty-one nroto bo chosen upon tho
plan of tho Free Vote nud ono (tho
President of tho Town Council) under
the old majority rulo of elections. Tho
twenty-one officers are these: two
Justices of the Peace, two constables,
two assessors of taxes, three auditors,
six school directors and six members of
tho town Council. Most of theso hold
for ono year terms, but auditors and
School directors for three years and of
tho latter two aro to bo chosen each
year. Thecholcoof Assistant Assessors
every third year and of election offlcors
annually will continue to be made un
der the provisions of general laws and
will be wholly unaffected by the new
plan of voting; and it may happen that
Justices of the Peace also will bo clios
en under tho old majority rulo. When'
ever both are to be chosen at tho same
time (as was the case last year) tho free
vote will apply, but when they aro to
be chosen at different times it will not,
Tho Bloomsburg act of 4th March
last, fixes an annual election' for tho
choice of the Members and President
of tho Town Council on tho second Tues
day of April ; tho other town officers
are to ho chosen on tho Second Tuesday
of October when township and borough
officers aro to be chosen under tho gen
eral election laws. It will thus bo seon
that tho election on Tuesday last was
for llit choice of ourhcal legislature inchid-
mg the Iesident of the Council who hat
vested in Jam the chief executive pmcers of the
toic'n. Two tickets -were to bo voted j
orio for President and tho other for
Members of the Council. Tho powers
' of theso officers aro varied and exten
sive and theirselcciionfor tliofirst time
was nn important event In tho history
of tho town. Tho manner, howover, in
which the six members of tho Council
were to bo voted for, was tho principal
point of interest. For the first time in
the United States a compUtely fair plan of
voting teat to be applied. Each political
party, each local interest of any considerable
magnitude, teas to le permitted to represent
itself in Council hy its own votes andinpro
portion to its vote. Tho peril of utter dis
franchisement of a part of the electors,
'which usualty clouds and saddens elec
tions, was wholly taken away, and
every voter could feel that his votes
would count upon the result and that
he and his associates would obtain their
fair share of power in the legislative
body about to be created.
'The clause in the Bloombburg act
which covers the election of Council
men is as follows (Wo quote from the
4tb section)
"When six persons are to bo chobea
each voter may give one vote to each of
six peiEOns, ono vote and a half to each
of four, two votes to each of three, threo
votes to each of two, or six votes to
one."
The principle of this clause is, that
the voter may distribute or concentrate
bis six votes as he shall think fit, but
when he shall voto for moro than ono
candidate he shall give an equal support
to those bo voles for. This single limi
tation wo bupposo was thought ueces
eary to prevent complication and con
fusion. Tho caso whero a voter will
dtblru to voto for five candidates when
six persons aro to bo elected, is not pro
vided lor, because it can hardly ever
arise It is too remote a possibility to
requlro attention.
Political parties have been nearly
equal in strength in Bloomsburg for
tomo years past, thougli Democratic
majorities havo been steadily given
ranging from 12 to 1C, at testelectlons,
upon a total voto of a'jout C50. Clearly,
then, each party Is SJrly entitled to
three members of tho Town Council
audit is completely within tho power
of each to secure that number upon tho
plan of tho free vote. By giving two
votra to each one of three candidates
litis, rrenll will bo rniulo certulii. And
when tho rriciiiherti of ono party voto In
till 'manner they will securo their prop.
er' representation, no matter how tho
opposlto party may vote, A majority
parly of greater proportlouatostrength
might voto for und elect four persons,
and a weaken one two, but in our par
titular caso an equal division of Coiiiv
cllmen betwecu parties in inevitable
upon ndiMiuetond intelligent trial of
party strength,

The Bloomsburg- Election.
On Friday evening of last week a
meeting was held nt tho Court Ilousoto
iiomlnaton "people's ticket" for sup
port nt tho Town election on Tuesday.
Col. Samuel Kuorr, Assessor of Inter
nal Revenue, presided, assisted bv J'o.

lln, Esq., an Secretary. Tho handbllU
for tho meeting had been printed, by
request, nt tho office of tho ttepubltcan.
Tho following committed was appoint
ed to 'report names for uointnntlou:
Simon C. Shlvo, Elijah R, Ikolor, Thos,
Cledde3,N. W. Snmplo mid F. M. Bates.,
Tho coiiimittco roporlcd the following
ticket which was agreed to :
For President qf the Ttwn. Council:
Charles Ri Paxlon.,
For Ibwn CoHnctlmen:liu4 Muiul-
cnhall, Joseph SharplctM.Culob Barton,
Charles 0. Barkloy, Elijah R. Ikeler
and Simon 0. Shlvo.
On Saturday evening n Democratic
meeting was hold nt tho u.tino place, on
call. John A. Fuuston presided, and B.
Irank Zirr acted as Secretary. The
meeting agreed upon tho following
ticket :
For President of the 'Anon Council:
Robert F. Clark.
For Town Couneilmen: William B.
Koons, Stephen Kuorr nnd Frederick
C. Eyer.
On Monday Mr. Paxton placed a pub
lic notlco upon tho bulletin board nt the
Bank, withdrawing his.uaino from tho
canvass as a candidate for President of
the Town Counclh.iiud stating that ho
had been nominated without his con
sent. Tickets woro printed in tho first place
for tho "Peoplo's ticket" as nominated
Including tho names of six candidates
for tho Council,, but a llttln reflection
only was necessary to discover that tho
now plan of voting would prevent tho
coalition from currying tho whole of
such a ticket oven if a majority of votes
could bo secured for it. Then tho prop
osition was entertained to run four can
didates, dropplug two. Tho "People's
ticket," therefore, as Anally revised,was
as follows:
For President of the Council: Ellas
Mcudcnhall.
For Town Couneilmen: Joteph Sharp-
less, Caleb Barton, Charles G. Barkloy
and Simon C. Shlvo.
By this arrangement tho Republicans
gave up ono of their nominees for Coun
eilmen and took their chances for cur
rying tho President of tho Council upon
a majority vote. So far us they were
concerned tho uulon looked to that end.
But it was almost a certainty when
tho election began that tho Democratic
ticket for Couneilmen would succeed,
and that two Republicans and one Bern,
ocrat would bo elected upon tho "Peo
ple's ticket;" tho only question being
bctwcen-Mr. Barkley mid Mr. Shlvo.
Tho cl6ctIon opened between 7 and 8
o'clock on Tuesday, nnd Senator Buck
nlew pollc'dtho first vote the flrat "freo
voto" ever given in this country.
Tho total voto polled was 436,'hnd tho
result was as' follows:

Mr. Barkley was put ahead upon tho ro

the peril of defeat. Many of them voted
plumpers for1 him, that is, gavo him
their whole six votes; so that though
ho was cut by many Republicans nnd
abandoned by somo of tho friends of
Shlve, ho W8B left nt tho head of the
poll.
Neither of tho candidates for Tn si-
"dentof the Town Council voted at the
election. The contest between their
friends was to n great extent Influenced
by local considerations, and was with
out bitterness.

Mr. Brodhcnd of Carbon moved to

section to bp numbered flection two:
8 r.c. 2. That tho limitation of four moutuscou
talned In tho third section of tho net Io which
this Is n supplement Is hereby rescinded, nnd

the act to which this Is a supplement fully com.
piled with by him; and the said courts respect
ively shall have full power to make all neces-mry
orders and decrees lu the matter of such com
plaint, and to enforce tha sumo by attachment
or other lawful process.
The Senate having been addressed by
Mr. Brodhcad In favor of tho amend
ment, and by Mr. Howard and Mr.
Mumma in opposition, Mr. Bucknlew
spoko as follows:
Mr.Speakcr, Thisbill which provides,
for the appointment of examiners is not
nt all affected by tho amendment; thcro
foro tho romarks of tho Senator from
Allegheny Mr., Howard wcronilscou-
eclved. Theso appointments aro to bo
mado at once; under tho bill us it pass
ed before they would not bo appointed
until tho commencement of next year.
The supplement is n very proper ono,
and if tho amendment affected it I
would not support it. Tho amendment
is nu addition to tho bill und is uot in
consistent with it. It provider, in sub
stance, that under tho third section of
the bill which was passed beforo tho
miner's net that all work In tho mak
ing of slopes and shafts shall commence
at onco, and bo prosecuted during each
Hi hours by threo changes of hands, call
ed shifts, aud that that work shall bo
under tho direction of tho Inspectors
who are to bo appointed. In every caso
threo sets of hands aro to bo put oil aud
worked In each 24 hours, under tho di
rection of tho inspector, until tho sec
ond outlet Is made. That is tho condi
tion in which this third section will bo
left if this amendment bo adopted. It
dolays nothing; it leaves the provision
uniform as to all kinds of material in
which work is to bo done, whether rock
earth, or coal tho work shall bo prose
cuted at once. But it contains also
another material provision, which is,
that if any owner or operator of n coal
mino shall be in default, shall not pros
ecute work at onco us directed, tho In
spector may apply to the court of tho
proper county and in a summary man
ner tho court may Issue an injunction
or order that all workiu mining coal In
such mluo shnll stop. I deny that this
amendment, which has been ofTered, de
lays tho work upon additional openings
or outlets, or does nnything to impair
or frustrate tho provisions of tho origi
nal act; It rescinds tho limitation of
four months and leaves nil work, no
matter of what character, to be prose
cuted under thosamo rulo by theso three
sinus per tiay; unit it, gives n power to
tho courts in a summary maimer to is
sue orders nnd stop nil work until tho
requirements of tho law shall bo fully
complied with. That Is not in tho orig
inal bill, and it is a provision which
tends strongly to tho enforcement and
proper working of tho law.
JJow, Mr. Speaker, when tho origl
nnl bill was beforo, tho Senate, thcro
were threo points to which I turned my
attention. In tho first place, as to tho
appointment of theso boards of Exam
incrs; I thought it n reasonable ar
rangement that two miners and two
mining englneers.and ono disinterested
person, should bo appointed; but, sir, as
the gentlemen who wcro hero repres
enting tho miners nlleged that thoy
would not get fair appointments on that
plaulguvoup my opinion nnd voted
according to theirs. Tho second point
was in relation to tho third section of
tho bill. I moved nn amendment slm
liar to thl, to that section, which was
adopted, but subsequently dropped. In
stead of the clumsy, Inconvenient, and
cumbrous provisions of that third bec-
tlon, this amendment will make that
third, section harmonious in its pro vis
Ions, and creato larger powers to enforce
its requirements. Tliero was another
point considered by mo and still to bo
considered in this legislation. Ono of
the most important provisions of that
mining act isthoiilthbection, by which
nny owner, lceseo or operator It held
liable for any Injury to porson or prop
crty occasioned by any violation of that
act. If thcro shall bo an Injury to per
son or property, any ono injured may
call tho owner, lessco or operator Into
court and have damages assessed against
him. If human life shall bo lost or sac
rlflcedby his failure to comply with
tho provisions of the law, nn action
may bo brought against him by the
widow and children of tho person kill
od, and If tho caso bo ono of gross neg
lect or violation of tho law excmplaiy
damages may bo assesseil against him.
That U a Just and an Important guaran
tee for tho enforcement of this law, nnd
It was properly adopted by tho Senate,
on my motion.
Wo do not know that this work can
bo dono in four mouths ; thcro was ev
Idenco produced In tho former debato
that In somo cubes this work could not
bo dono in that time. Tho Senator from
Dauphin Mr. Mumma meels that by
buying, that duo consideration will bo
glvon to dlfllciiltics in particular cases
and tho law will not bo unreasonably
enforced. To tho Instances mentioned
in tho former debato, where tho work
required could not bo done within tho
limitation of time, lu the Wyoming
Valley, I suppose tho Senator would
make that answer; but It Is uu Insuffi
cient nnswer. It Is not wise or proper to
put laws upon tho statuto book which
aro ovldcntly Imperfect trusting that
nobody will enforco them or attempt
through their agency to compel that
which Is unreu.sonablo,lmpropor or lm.
possible. I repeat, if tho bill bo amend
ed ai Is now proposed, every man
who is concerned in tho working of a
mluo, by tho direct requirements of this
third section, must put on threo sots of
men ovory 21 hours, nnd If ho shall not
do it, tho cotirt of tho proper county
can stop all hli work. Then by tho 21th
section, nlrcady refrrod to, which wui
nttnehed to tho minor's law on my mo
tion, n responsibility is charged upon
tho owner or operator, that if ho will
not comply with this law ho shall bo
llablo in damages for any resulting In
Jury. These nro vnlttaMo additions, not
In tho hilt as orleiuallv introduced
I havo been from tiio outset In'
favor oftho general provisions of this
mining law; butldcslro a mining law
that will 'stand; I tloslro ono that will
not bo successfully assailed hereafter,
when gro.it Interests aro nffectetl hy It
In an unroasonnblo manner. I don't
dedro parties to go into tho courts
nndmakojustoroven plnusiblo appeals
against tho law. A number of miners
havo said to me, "That law Is all right
oxcept that third section that limita
tion of times that ought not to havo
been put In." And I bcllavo that re-
fleeting men think that tho law would
havo been much better without that
limitation. As to nil those regions to
which this ltw applies, I bcliovo that
there will bo a general assent to this
proposed amendment. This nmend
mont, as I said before, docs not impair
tho proposed bill, which provides that
these Examiners shall bo appointed at
once. This work upon shafts and slopes
can go on nt onco under tho superln
tendenco of tho Inspectors. As tho
former law stands; nothing can be dono
toward appointing Inspectors until next
year. Observo.that tho mining law calls
for tho expenditure of millions of doll
ars In thosocoal counties. Thero never
was a mining law llko that passed In
tho United States, or in Europe o law
that goes Into tho mines of every opcr
utor, and takes chargo of them on be
half of his workmen, and requires that
ho shall uso nnd manago his properly
in conformity with that law and with
the desires nnd interests of thoso cm
ployed by him. I believe it to bo a
great and beneficent measure, and that
it will work well and do great good if
it shall not bo used as a splto act, nor
amended in nn uncharitablo spirit to
thoso affected by It. As to this amend
mcnt thcro can bo no ground of ohjee
lion toit, unloss thero exists ndoslroand
intention to mako porso nil or party
capital out of this question of mining
roform.
The amendment wasagreed to yeas
15; nays, 11. Subsequently tho Senate
rejected a motion to recedo from their
amendment by a voto of yeas fl, Nay3
21, and appointed a committeo of con
ferenco consisting of Messrs. Brodhead,
Buckalow and Olmsted. No meeting
of this .Committeo with tho House Com-
mlttoo of conference took place, and on
tho day of adjournment (April 7th,) the
Senate discharged their committeo after
an explanation from Mr. -Brodhead,the
chairman. It appeared from his state'
ment that the House Committeo was
altogether responsible for tho failure to
meet in conference and for tho ultimate
failuroof tho bill.J
