FKIIUY MOUNINU, JlttiE 1(1, 1871.
Reformed Voting In Ilorouglis.
Thk now plan ot voting authorized
by tho borough supplement of Juno 2,
1871, and by sundry special nets for
towns passed at tho last two sessions of
tho Legislature, Is exceedingly simple
In design and convenient for practical
uso; so that lis undoubted merit as an
Instrument for sccurlngjust representa
tion and puro elections Is not counter
vailed or diminished by practical diffi
culties In llio way of Its application.
But, yet, soma explanation of It will
bo necessary until Its exact character,
uses and operation tslmll como to bo
known by trial.
Tho Freo Voto as defined and fixed
In tho several statutes abovo referred to,
and particularly In tho Bloomsburg act
of 4th March 1870, applies whenover
two, three, four or six persons aro to bo
chosen at ono tlmo to tho B.imo muni
clpnl olllco and for tho sumo term of
service, and consists In permitting each
voter to bestow his votes upon ono or
raoro candidates as ho shall think fit,
Instead of compelling him to distribute
them singly among tho wholo number
of persons to bo chosen. In brief, ho
may poll his votes as follows :
When two persons aro to bo chosen
1 voto to each of 2 candidates, or 2 votes
to 1.
When threo porsons aro to bo chosen
1 voto to each of 3 candidates, 2 votes
to 1, and 1 to another; 1 votes to each
of 2, or 3 votes to 1.
When four persons aro to bo chosen
1 voto to each of 4 candidates, 1 votes
to each of 3. 2 votes to each of 2, or 4
votes to 1.
When six persons aro to bo chosen
1 voto to each of 0 candidates, 1 votes
to each of 4, 2 votes to each of 3, 3 votes
to oach of 2, or o votes to 1.
Ticket voting Is retained, but tickets
aro to express upon their faco tho
amount of support given to each candi
date voted for In all cases wheroaslnglo
voto for each candldato is not intended,
In other words, whenover tho voter,
shall not cast his votes, (heretofore,
singly among candidates, ho shall state
upon the faco of his ticket tho number
of voters ho bostows upon tho candi
date, or upon each candidate, na'ned
thereon. As, for instance, In tho bor
ough of Chamborsburg, (Itep. 579, Dem.
621), each party will nomlnato three
persons for Councllmcn and tickets will
bo prepared In tho following form:
Fou Town Councilmej.
A. B 2 votes
0. 13 2 votes
E. F 2 votes;
each party of courso using different
names but tho same form of ticket. If
cither shall resort to this plan of voting
it is certain that they will elect their
threo candidates, no matter how the
opposito party may voto. Ilcnco it
must happen that each will nominate,
but threo persons although six aro to
bo chosen.
Inthosamo borough, In tho election
of threo town Auditors, (tbey aro here
after to bo chosen together for 3 year
terms), tho minority will cumulato
their votes upon ono candidate, thus:
A. B 3 votes
and will certainly elect him; while tho
majority will voto for two, as follows :
0. D 1 votes
E. F. 1 votes,
And still, again In tho same borough,
in choosing two School Directors annu
ally they will bo divided between par
ties; for as cither party can uso tho
form,
A. B 2 voles,
tho minority will of courso resort to it
if it shall bo necessary to sccuro to them
their proper representation. But in
many cases under tho certain operation
of the new plan, there will bo a com
mon or union ticket voted? by all tho
electors, upon which each party will
havo Its duo and proper sharo of candi
dates. Either a ticket will bo formed
by common consultation and consent of
tho citizens on which each party will
have Its duo proportion of nominees, or
after each party shall havo mado Its
nominations separately, for purposes of
convcnlenco tho names of all tho candi
dates will bo placed together and voted
together by tho pcoplo. Thus voting
will often bo without cumulation, but
induced by the fact that cumulation can
be resorted to by either aide to secure jus
tice to itself.
Tho borough supplement act is con
fined to boroughs organized, or hereaf
ter to be organized, under general laws
and not to thoso created and operating
under special acts of Assembly, and it
applies only to tho election of Council
men, who constitute tho local legisla
tures of towns. Nevertheless, it is an
Important act and must havo an exten
sive and reformatory effect upon muni
cipal government and administration
in thoS'ate. For wherover resorted to It
will glvojustrepresentatlou to thepeo
plo, purify elections and check or pre
vent tho abusl vo exercise ol local power.
Upon prlnclplo.the new plan should bo
authorized In the election of all bor
ough officers whenever it can bo applied
and not confined to the cholco of coun
cllmcn alone, and such Is the regulation
made In most of the special acts which
havo been passed at tho last two sessions
for particular towns, as Sunbury, Ber
wick, Bloomsburg, Chamborsburg, 'Un
lontown, etc But in general legislation
it was perhaps prudent to begin, with a
more limited though still effectual
measuro of reform.
The Ylctorr iu jtew Hampshire.
Tho State of New Hampshire which
has labored under ltadical misrule for
somo thirteen years, has been released
from tho sore bondage by the election
and inauguration of a Democratic Gov
ernor, tho selection of tho Governor's
Council, both branches of tho Legisla
ture, and tho ontlro Congressional dele
gation. The Republicans of tho solid
old Stato of Now Ilampshlro aro greatly
chagrined at this downfall of their for
tunes politically, and they endeavored
hard In tho Legislature to urrcst tho
impending ruin, but it was euro to como.
and now tho State rejoices in being onco
moro free from Kail leal subluxation and
tyranny. Not only tho Democrats of
tho liberated State feci happy over tho
event, but ail lovors of tho Democratic
banner, for it Is the harbinger of other
victories that aro to follow, which will
mako Amorlca n freo country again by
removing from It tho despotism which
thelorcinant organization has pinioned
it with, Let unceasing work be the
self-imposed duty of every true Ameri
can until tho folds of tho Democratic
standard lioats over each and all of tho
States.
Nortliumlicrlnnil Connly Nominations.
Tho Democratic nominating elections
In Northumberland county on tho 3d
Instant, resulted In pluralities for the
following candidates.
For President Juclgo, E. 0. Scott of
Sunbury, (subject to tho concurrenco of
Montour county;) Representative, (sub
ject to llko concurrence,) A. J. Gallagher
of Shainokln borough ; Assoclnto Judgo

Augusta; District Attorney, Geo. W,
Byon, Shainokln Borough; Auditor,
Isaac Martz, Lower Augusta. Tho can
ulunto ror Aiuiuor mono received a
majority of tho wholo number of votes
polled.
Analyzing tho voto wo get tho follow,

President Judge, Fat nominee, 1 108,
for other candidates, 2399.

This Is minority representation with
n vengeance, under n system which wo
havo been told consults tho volco of tho
pooplo and secures them against mis
representation by County Conventions.
In fact tho popular voto plan (known as
tho Crawford county plan) of nomltia
Hons, Is worso thnn n humbug, and will
demoralize and lnjuro nny party, any
whero, that resorts to It. It Is delusive,
unfair, expensivo and of corruptive
tendency. It Invites to lntriguo and
fraud. It multiplies candidates, cxas
perates passion and degrades tho wholo
tono of party action. Fortunalo indeed
was it that tho Democracy of this coun
ty escaped this ovllsystera when Its uc
ceptunco win pressed upon them two or
threo years ago (as wo aro Informed it
was.) Thoy rejected It In Convention,
and finally Instead of it took a fair, con
venient and Just plan under which good
nominations can bo mado and party
union bo preserved.
Tho Northumberland nominees nro
not to blamo for tho bad system in forco
In that county. As far as wo know
thoy nro good men and wo supposo it
will ho qullo expedient and right to
elect thorn. Until Iho plan of nomina
tion shall bo changed, Its results aro to
bo accopled. But we strongly urgoour
neighbors of that county to chango
their rules. Let them recur to Conven
tions as a necessary instrument of party
action though not to Conventions of nn
antiquated and defective fashion. Let
them give representation to districts
according to thoirparty voto and apply
the free, voto to tho election of dolegatos.
Then tho Democracy In tho several
parts or divisions of tho county will bo
icprcscnted on a just principle of num
bers, and each candidate will obtain his
just proportion of delegates. Tho poo-
plo will bo satisfied because nomina
tions will bo more fairly made, and tho
primary elections will be comparatively
inexpensive to candidates and unpro
ductive of fraud.

ihla plan adopts the principle of dis
trict representation, but makes it thor
oughly Just and reasonable, because It
is mauo proportional to tho party voto
of each district. Tho main recommen
dation of tho Crawford county plan is
thai it secures an equal volco to all tho

tho election, it will be seen that minor

with nn agricultural population, tho
Crawford county plan may bo tolerated

that even In such counties It must

tlously termed "tho least of two ovlls."
Wo havo n decided curiosity to know
thnt which his Excellency has left In
tho twilight of doubt, namely, this
"greater evil," of which tho useless
nnd excessive wasto of half a million Is
tho least. So wild and reckless has
been tho Indiscriminate appropriation
of money during tho ndmlstratlon of
Geary, with a Radical Legislature ot
his command, that a half a million is n
small matter, nnd tho least of tho good
Governor's llltlo evils.
As a remedy for this difficulty, nnd as
a check upon this useless expenditure
and wasle, wo suggest to every tax
payer, whoso hard earned dollars must
needs go to supply theso demands, to
go to tho polls at tho next election nnd
deposit his voto for General William
McCandless, tho nomlnco of tho Stnto

The recent mysterious movement In
tho harbor of Port nu Prlnco glvo riso
to tho belief that It is tho Intention of
tho Spaniards to blow up tho steamer
Hornet, which has been lying there tin
dergolng repairs. Every night several
armed boats from a Spanish frigate pull
Into tho harbor and remain near tho
Hornot until morning. A few nights
slnco two of theso pulled closo In under
tho steamer's bow nnd paid no attention
to Captain Walsam's request to keep off,
Ho then ordered his crow to flro Into
them, which was done, causing much
confusion in tho boats nnd their Immo
dlnto removal to n proper distance,
What damngo was dono is not known,
but tho boats havo given tho Hornet a
wide berth since. But for tho fact that
tho Hornet's great guns wero ashore
during tho repairs to tho ship, Captain
Walsam would havo tried to sink tho
Spaniards. Tho Hornet has recently
received somo machinery from Now
York, and Is now nearly ready for sea.
Captain Walsam has n well armed crow
and keeps a sharp look out for tho
Spaniards, who aro very vigilant, nnd
mean to tako him ns soon os her Is clear
of 'tho harbor. Tho frigate Isabella
Catollca, which was forsomo tlmo watch
ing tho Hornet, has been relieved by
tho Plzarro, whoso boats wero tho ones
fired on by tho Hornot. Captain Walsam
gives it as his intontion to proceed to
sea nt all hazards as soon as tho Hornet
can bo got ready.
Tlio Coal Trade.
Tho Philadelphia Jtcdger of Monday
has tho following In relation to tlio coal
trade: "Tho coal trade, both anthraclto

rather moro of competition for tho

wo remember over to havo seen before.
Of courso tho bituminous production In

tho anthraclto production, but several
causes havo given promlncnco to Id turn
inous coal, and tho producers of It will
relax no effort in maintaining their ad
vantage If nn abundant and steady sup
plyat reasonnblo prices, will hold It. Tho
anthraclto is also heavy, especially for
tho Schuylkill region. In tho mean
tlmo the largo companies In this county
nro making extraordinary exertions to
stock tho market, nnd bring down
prices, not for tho purposo of furnishing
cheap coal but to punish nnd If posslblo
