ricctoral Reform In Illinois.
Tin Illinois Constitutional Conven
tion flilch inut at Sptlngflolil In I)J
cum' or Inst, concluded tlio iiorforiiianco
r Its dutlrs nnd mljourned fliiully
on tlio 13th of May. Tlio ntnended
constitution for tlio Stnto, ns formed by
tno Convention, U to bo submitted to a
popular voto for adoption or rejection
tm thu fir.it Saturday In July, it which
ti mo also eight additional propositions
of iitncndmenturo to bo submitted sev
erally to a like vote. An ingenious
mid convenient plan was provided by
the couvention for taking tho sensa
of tho pcoplo upon nil tho questions
submitted, by irieaiw of n single ticket.
Tho tickets or ballots properly prepared
uro to bo distributed by tho Secretary of
bttttu and tho County Clerks, nud upon
their faco arc to indicate clearly and
separately nn atllrmativo voto for each
of tho propositions to bo passed upbn
first, tho now or amended Constitution,
nml next, in their order, tho several
sepaitite amendments proposed. When
over tho voter shall striko off orcraso
from his ballot either ono of tho propo
sitions, his voto Is to bo counted as
given HRuinst It, otherwise in its favor.
Thus nine distinct questions can bo
passed upon by tho people, though pre
cisely tho s.uno form of ballot will bo
furnished to each voter.
Wo believe that very valuablo amend
ments have been proposed by tho Con
vention niidthnt most of them deservo
that approval by the pcoplo which they
will doubtless receive But tho work
of thu Convention is particularly Inter
esting to us and should receive general
attention outsldo of Illinois, because it
includes several provisions Intended
and well calculated to secure electoral
reform in that State. Ono of these was
published by us some weoks since when
first agreed to in Convention, and wo
uro now gratified to learn that it was
retained among tho general amend
incuts. Wo refer to tho third section of
tlio eleventh article which Is in tho
following language:
"The General Assembly shall provide,
by law, that in nil elections for direct
ors or managers of incorporated compa
nies, overy stocKnoiuer snail navo tno
right to vote, in person or by proxy,for
inu numuer ot snares ot stock owneu
by him, for as many persons as thero
aro directors or managers to no elected,
or to cumulate said shares and give one
candidate ns many votes as tho number
of directors multiplied by ids number
f aiiaroi shallequal, or to distribute
them on the sumo principle among aq
many candidates ns ho shall think fit:
and such directors or managers shall
nor, do eiectea in any otner manner."
Tlioro are, probably, several thousand
corporate companies in Illinois to tho
elections of which this important
amendment will apply; for it searches
out all such bodies In tho State, with
out exception, and applies to thorn tho
hand of reform. Hereafter, a mere ma
jority, a cliquo or a combination of
stockholders in nn Illinois corporation,
will not bo allowed to exclude their co
stockholders from all voico in the man
ngemcnt of tho corporation, nor will a
minority of stockholders holding a ma
jority of stock bo allowed to do so.
The selfishness, rapacity and misman
agement of corporato bodies,aud secrecy,
intriguo and corruption in tho proceed
ings of their officers, will receivo an
important and necessary check. Ail
the stockholders will bo ablo to repre
sent themselves in tho board of man
agement, thus securing to themselves
at all times full knowledge of the cor
porate proceedings and of the adminls
tratiou of tho funds which they Iiavo
Invested. And they will be enabled
more perfectly to protect their own
interests iu the corporation and to pre
vent the growth of abuses.
Tho first election for circuit Judgos
in tho county of Cook (which Includes
the city of Chicago) is, by a clause of
tho Schedule to tho Constitution, to bo
upon tho principle of the limited vote.
Thrco judges aro to bo chosen and it is
nrovided. "that at said election In Urn
for more than two candidates for circuit
Judgo." It follows from this clause
that a minority exceeding ono-thlrd of
tho voters of Chicago, can elect ono of
thothreojudgui
lint tho most interesting, amendmeut
on tho subject of electoral reform pro.
posed by tho Convention, relates to tho
choice of Representatives to the Legis
lature. Tliis is submitted to a separate
voto nud, irugroed to, Is to take Its prop
er placo in the legislative article of tlio
Constitution. It is us follows:
"The IIouso of Representatives shall
consist of thrco times tlio number of
tho members of tho Senate, and tho
term of olllce Bhall bo two years. Thrco
Representatives snail be elected in eacli
senatorial district at tho general election
In tlio year A. D. 1872, and every two
years thereafter. In all elections of
Representatives aforesaid, each quallti
ed voter may castas many votes lor one
candidate as thero aro Representatives
to ho elected, or may distribute tho
same or equal parts thereof among tho
citiiuuiaies as no snail see nr, ami tno
cnudldutcs highest in votes shall bo do
dared ciccieu."
Under this amendment a minority of
voters In u district exceeding in num.
her one-fourth of tho wholo vote, can
elect ono of tlio threo Representatives
from tho district, Tho manner of
voting isdistinctly shown by tho follow
Ing clause from tlio fourth section of tho
Bloomsbttrg act, approved 4th March
7870:
"When three persons aro to be chosen
eacn voter inuy giva one voto to vavu
of threo candidates, two votes to ono
candidate nud ono to another, ono voto
and u nun 10 eacn or two atniuiiuic,
or tnreo votes to one."
Tho priuplplo applied Is simply this;
that each voter ihall bo allowed to dis
tribute or concentrate ids thrco votes as
ho bhall think proper, and that candi
date highest in voto shall bo declared
elected. Practically, whenever one
parly Is eleurJy in n jnajoi 1 ty in a district
but not ablo to poll a three-fourths voto,
Its members will nominate mid voto
for two candldutes only, and tho minor
ity will nominate and voto for ono, and
4dl tho vandldates voted for will bo 1
elected. No candidate will bo beaten
nnd both classes of voters will bo fairly
represented. This will bo tho ordinary
case but exceptional eases nro fully pro
vided for. When thomnjorlty shall bo
strong enough to poll a three-fourths
vote they will voto for and elect threo
candidates, or tho wholo number to bo
chosen. When parties nro nbotit equal
In strength, or each may Indulge the
of expectation of nttnltilug a majority
vote, each will nominate nud support
two candidates nnd whichever ono shall
poll iv mnjorlty of votes will elect both
their candidates wliilo tho minority
will elect but one. In this case It will
bo certnln from tho outset that each par
ty will carry ono of their candidates,
nnd thero will bo u fair test of strength
between them upon tho election of n
second ono. Hut ono candidate will bo
beaten and both parties will bo repre
sented as nearly as may bo in proportion
to their respective numbers. Again,
when thero shall bo threo parties or in
terests in a district struggling for rep
resentation, it will probably happen
that each will obtain ono representa
tive, or that ono ot thorn will obtain
two and another ono representative,
whereas under tho old plan of voting
ono party or Interest will bo likely to
obtain tlio wholo thrco upon a mere
plurality eole. In other words, a ml-
nonly of voters may now, in many
cases, elect their wholo ticket and tho
luajcrlty of voters be loft without any
ropreccntutivo whatever. Finally, tho
new plan allows thu voter to discrimi
nate between candidates in giving them
his support. Ho am in voting for two
candidates express the relative strength
of his desire for tho election of each, by
giving ono of thorn two votes and the
other ono. In some cases this will b'o a
valuable and convenient privilege, and
Its cxerciso will tend to the certain
success of tho best men among candid
ates whero all cannot bo elected.
Tho nllowanco of half-voles In the
new plan Is ono of Its best features and
will securo Its convenient working and
promote its ultimate popularity.' This
feuturo, however, is rather for tho con
vonienco of tho mnjorlty than of tho
minority, and is not indisponsablo to
tho now plan. The majority can voto
In either ono of three ways :
1st. Give single votes to each of thrco
candidates, which is the old plan;
and. Give ono nnd a half votes to each
of two ; or
3rd. Have ono half their voters givo
two votes to A. and ono to B. and the
other half two votes to B. and ono to
A.
Whenever their vote shall not exceed
three-fourths of the wholo voto of the
district, they eannot reasonably or safe
ly support tlirco candidates. If with a
weaker voto than three-fourths they
shall attempt to elect tho whole three
Representatives, tho minority may take
advantage of tho dispersion of their
voto and carry asecond Representative.
In all ordinary cases, therefore, tho ma
Jorlty will support but two candidates
Tiioy will not run a third candidate
simply that ho may bo beaten, unci In
curat thosamo timo tho danger of losing
ono of tho Representatives to which
they nro entitled and liavo nower to
clout.
Assuming, then, that in all ordinary
cases, guided by reason and self-interest
tho majority will support but two can
didates, tlio question remains in
which ono of tho two ways abovo men
tioned shall they voto for them '! It
will bo quite possible for tho majority
todlvido their votes territorially or oth
erwise Into twoequal.or nearly equal di
visions nnd uso two forms oftlcketattho
election. Half their voters giviug A.
two votes and B. one, and tho other
half giving B. two aud A. one, the
wholo strength of tho party will bo
economized and distributed equally to
the two candidates. No strength will
bo wasted or misapplied. But this plan
will bo inconvenient to tho majority
oyen when tho proper result shall bo
oxactly secured, which will not always
bo completely cortain. Wothink,thero
fore, that this particular inodo of ma
jority voting will bo found much less
satisfactory in practico than tho other,
abovo referred to, which involvos tlio
use of half-votes. Whou every majori
ty voter shall divide his threo votes
equally between two candidates, giving
a voto and a half to each, thero can bo
no doubt that the object aimed at the
full aud economical uso of party power
in tho electiou will bo reached, and
reached too without troublo or inconve
nience. Tho preparation of a ticket
reading as follows :
John Jones, 1 votes,
William Brown, 11 votes,
will byo within the competency of any
person who cau read and write, and Its
Intelligent uso by voters a- matter of
course As to counting such votes, tho
question of convenience is equally clear.
Tlio election officers will copy upon their
tally-papers from tho first ticket drawn
from tho' box, tho names of tho candid
ates with tlio figures attached (it will bo
convenient to encloso tho latter iu
small circles with a pen) and will then
tako down that andsuecosslvo tickets in
scores of five, towards tho right accord
lugto tho common practico. Tho figures
1 J will thus constitute n sign of value
for tho strokes which follow, and after
summing up tlio latter, fifty per cent,
will bo added to mako up tlio truo total
of votos. Thus, if eighty such tickets
nro counted to a candidate, tho scoro
will bo carried out-SO plus 40120 vote.-,
which will bo placed to tho credit of
such candidate upon tlio return.
Wo have beon thus particular iu our
explanation of tho uses and convenience
of fractional votes, because somo per
sons may suppose that their allowanco
will produce dllhculty or embarrass
nieutut popular elections. No such re
sult will follow.

THE COLUMBIAN
That Kovorcnd Scalawag-.
Tho notorious clerical rascal, B. V.
Whlttomoro, who was lgnomlnlously
kicked out of tlio IIouso of Representa
tives, a short tlino slnco, for soiling ca
det-ships, has just been re-elected by n
majority, ns ho states, of over 8000.
When a man becomes so unutterably de
graded, that oven Republican Repre
sentatives refuso toslt with him, nnd
when lie can find only such an one as B,
V. Butler Tor hlii champion, his position
Is deplorable. But this thick-skinned
scoundrel with tho prefix of Reverend,
hns the audacity to return to his black
constituency, get ro elected mid then
apply for admission to that IIouso from
Which ho was so recently expelled as be
ing u degradation to tlio body. No
Wonder that certnln of the mombers aro
disgusted and that Mr. Logan calls his
re election nu insult to the House. Tru
ly U Is an insult, but his presence thero
Is not only an affront to tho House, but
an outrngo on tho wholo country. It Is
a Bhamc that a man whosu proper sphere
of labor should bo for tho Government
in a vastly dlllcrent capacity, should bo
allowed to aid in making laws for tho
governance of decent pcoplo.
Wo do most heartily pray that tho
Members of tho IIouso may so continue
in tiieir righteous ludlguation, ns to ut
terly refuse tho request of this man to
bo admitted. Better n thousand times
that tho district bo totally unrepresent
ed than that such a mockery of a states
man as ho bo permitted to do so. Carpet-bugger,
hypocrite, and swindler, ho
should bo consigned to tho obscurity
which ho merits, if nothing more se
vere, although merited, bo dono to him.
Tlio Election in Washing-ton.
Tho muncipal election in Washing
ton city has resulted in a great triumph
of tho conservatives. Emory defeats
Sayles J. Bowou, by a handsome ma
jority, carrying tho councils with him.
Tho latter was a pet of tho intense and
bitter radicals, who strained every
ncrvo to secure his election. Forney
dally poured out leading editorials in
the Chronicle, and nightly addressed
negro meetings in Ids behalf. Radical
members of Congress abandoned their
duties in the House to canvass for Bow
on. They told tho negroes that tho sal
vation of the republican party depen
ded on tho result, and threatened tho
citizens with hostile legislation if they
should daro to thwart tho will of tho
majority in Congress. So deep was tho
anxiety to elect Bowen that Secietary
Boutwell became a censor of the press,
and dismissed an editor from tho desk
in ids department forpublishiug a crit
icism of Bowen and somo of ids parti
sans. All tlio employees of tho govern
ment wero turned out on election day to
swell the voto of tho radical candidate.
But the result is a crushing defeat. The
Democrats were united in the support
of Emery, who received, besides, the
votes of many conservative Republi
cans and intelligent negroes. Patriot.

"Mr. Speakor, I avail myself of tho
thrco minutes allowed me, not to dis
cuss this case, but to stato tho facts ns
presented beforo tlio IIouso tills morn

IIouso and almost immediately after
tlio reading of tho Journal when a
quorum of tho IIouso was not present,
and tvitiout a moment's consideration
on the part of members, tho gentleman
from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Cessna,) ac
ting as chairman of the sub-Commltleo
of Elections, availed himself of tho con
fusion aud disorder to smugglo a man
into this IIouso as a member I uso
tho languago deliberately and to
placo us in such a parliamentary posi
tion that it is impossible, under tho
caso to rotraco our steps, but by
general consent (which Mr, Cessna
will not give.)
That is tho fact, nnd I wish that fact
to go beforo tlio country. iVb Quorum,

on tliis subject, a member assuming to

Never, never in tlio worst wards of

Its population, was a fraud perpetrated
Iiko this, which this House perpetrates
at Its bar to day.iu attempting tosmug

so Infamous ns tho action of

Tho Living Maohiuo.
llnjuiu tho main spring of n watch nnd every
portion ol the works becomes dlsordeied. The
human Momach Is to th human system what
that clastic piece ot metal Is ton chronometer,
It Influences tho action of thu other organs, and
controls, to a certain extent, the wholo living
machine. The comparison may be carried fur
thori for ns the weakness or ether imperfections
of tho main spring Is Indicated ou the faco of tho
tlmeplece,f.o also Is the weakness or other dis
order of tho stomach betrayed by tho face ol Jho
Invalid. Tho complexion Is sallow or faded, the
eyes nro deficient In lustre nnd Intelligence, nnd
I hero Is a worn, anxious expression la the wholo
countenanco which tells as plainly ns written
words could do, that tho uical nourishing vruun
vhoso office It Is to minister to the wants of tho
body, and to sustain nnd renew all Its parts, U
Hot porformlng its duty, It lequlresrenovatlug
and regulating, nnd lo accomplish tils end Hos.
toller's Btoraach Bitters may bo truly said td bo
lte vne thing meilul. Tho broken main spring of
a watch way be replaced by a now one, but tlm
stomach t-au only be rcpatrcd and strengthened,
and this is one of the objects of tho famous veg
etable restorative which for eighteen years has
beau waging a successful contest with UyBpepsla
in nil climates. As a specific for indigestion it
stands alone, When the resources of tho phar
macopoeia havo been exhausted, without, at best,
doing moro tliaii mitigating the complaint, a
courso of tills wholesome and palatable, yet
poweifu), stomachio effects a perlect and perma
nent cure. In nil cases of dyspepsia tho liver Is
more or less dlcordeied, uud upon this important
gland, as well as upon tho stomach aud bowels,
tho Hitters act with singular distinctness, regu
lating and reliirlgorating overy secretive uud
