The vexed I'reiidtutUl question has uot
' yet been loWcd. Wo hud hoped that before
thu, the voles of tho whole number of states
ouM hive been counted and tho result as
certained beyond controversy.
Tho present condition of affairs is as fol
low!. Id South Carolina the Democrats tare
elected UoYcrnor and Lieut. Governor ; have
f lined seven State Senators and thirty-one
' Representatives, which gives a majority in the
Lpgiilaturo and secures the return of a Dcin
crat to the United Statci Senate; have gained
two Congressmen and elected n Comptroller
General. Tho voto for President lias not been
canviascil. In Floiida, the returns from all
Ike couulies have not been received mid prayo
suspicions have been aroused that tbcyliato
been held back for manipulation. M. L.
Stearns, tho Republican Governor, of the
State coolly proposed a few dsya sineo to
count tho voto of tho Statu himself, on thu
ground that the Returning Hoard had no
power to count the votes for electors. Tliii
' suhliruo pieco of impertinence was put an end
toby Judge Whito of the United States Cir
cuit Court who issued an injunction restrain
ing the Oovcrnor from tho proposed nctiou.
The Judge has also issued a mandamus com
minding tho Itcturning Hoard to proceed
with the count Thero is but little doubt that
the State has gouo Democratic Judge Wes
cott of tho Supreme Court, a prominent He
publican who at first claimed the State for
Hayes now concede the election of Tildcn
and publishes a letter to that effect. The evi
dent aim of tho Returning Board is to take
.advantage of a State law giving them thirty
fivo days in whioh to make their icturns. This
would carry them to December 13th, whilst
.tho (Javernor is required by law to sign the
ertiGcates of election by December Cth. Of
.course if there were no returns from the
Board the Governor could give the certificates
.to whom ho pleaded. It is probable that this
little scliemo will fall through.
In Louisiana tho countin? of tho voto pro
gresses slowly,only a few parishes having been
disposed of. The Returning Board have mod
ified materially their first decision to hold
secret sessions and have admitted five Re
publicaus and five Democrats of tho North
ern Commissioners. Tho parishes thus far
counted have been those in which there were
no protests offered as to illegal voting, intimi
dation and the like.
TheDemocratic majority in theState is about
7,000 on the electoral ticket, except in the
ease of fivo elector! on the Republican ticket
whe fell behind more than 2,000 thus giving
tho Democrat! over 9,000 majority. It is of
course impossible to foretell what action the
Board may take as to disputed parishes, but
as matters now stand it looks as if tho Dem
ocrats would have over 3,000 majority if the
Board throws out the fivo disputed parishes.
The eyes of the whole country aro uon the
Board, and the plainly expressed opinions of
leading men and papers in thu North, to tho
effect that there must bo an honest count,
will have sotae effect in restraining the Board.
We trust and beliovo that the electoral voto
of the State will bo given for Tilden and that
Florida will be given to him also.
NOW DON'T.
Our readers have heard of "doubting
Thomas," but the potitive Thomas of tho
Danville Intelligencer, in speaking of the
Congressional vote, after giving some in
accurate figures, launches the following :
This is a splendid result, as it shows an
Increase in Collins' majority over that of two
years ago of 1285. In Columbia county he
was cut 347 rotes through the combined ef
forts of the Columbian'! clique which paper
refused to hoist Mr. Collins name, and the
effort of Mr. Waller the Iladical candidate
who resides in that county. In this county
Mr. Colliis falls behind Tilden's voto 97,
which comes from the same Influence that
prevailed in Columbia. '
This is true, except that the Comjmiuan
did hoist his name,and every ticket contain
ing it wu printed at this office. Instead of
being cut 847 votes in this County, he ran
behind only 243 votes, a result due to the
fact that Mr. Waller was an old and respect
ed citizen of the county, and identified with.
its progreti. Mr. Collins is a stranger to
the mass of our people, and this compli
mentary vote was given a prominent man
when It could not harm Mr Collins. Again,
instead of Mr. Collins' running 97 votes be
hind Gov.Tilden in Montour, it was only 31
To show the fallaciousness ofsuch reasoning
it is only necessary to add that Mr. Waller
gained 1&7 more votes in Luzerne than Mr.
Collins, as compared with his voto in 1874.
Try again, Thomas I and see ifyou can at
least give the correct figures of your own
county next time.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Board of Canvassers on Wednesday
last, in contempt of the Supreme Court of
the State, before which tribunal proceedings
were pending, issued certificates of election
to all the members of tho Legislature, thus
securing a Republican majority and securing
the defeat of Hampton for Governor. The
Board also issued certificates of election to
the Hayes electors and to all the Republican
btato ticket, and this in tho face of a rule is
sued by the Court, on the Board, to show
cause why they should not correct the state
ments of the county canvassers.
The conspirators have over-reached them'
selves. Such flagrant contempt of court
will hardly be overlooked, and the citizens
will try every legal means of redress before
submitting to the outrageous action of the
Board.

Within tho past fow days there has been
a concentration of troops at Washington,
Tho number now thero so far as can bo as
certained is 1270, and it is said that they
will bo reinforced by two or thrco ships of
war. Threo monitors havo been onVrcd to
Hampton Roads to await orders. Tho au
thorities nt first denied that they wcro tlnrc
for nny specific purpose, but that they be
longed to Gen. Hancock's division, which
Included Washington that it meant noth
ing. Subsequently n prominent olflcer of
tho War Department stated that their prcs
ence was Intended to prevent disturbance nt
tho Democratic ratification meeting to be
held on the 20th. The New York 77wifjlia,
however, let tho cat out of the bag by stating
ttiat "probably nobody expected that Wash
ington would bo left without Hoops during
tho proceedings for determining who is Pres.
Ident, but they are brought here sooner than
was expected." So it seems thero was a rea
son, after nil the denials, tor filling tho city
with troops. In these days it appears that
troops aro necessary in counting tho Votes
for President and also In Inaugurating him.
Thoughtful and conslderato mn nny fall to
see tho necessity for bayonets in either case,
but tho administration treats it as a matter
of course. Matters have an evil look, but it
Is to bo hoped that tho calm, good sense of
tho people may triumph in the end and that
out of this turmoil of anxiety and distrust
there may como peace and repose.
One of tho Republican electors of Ver-
munt Is Henry N. Sollace, a postmaster, who
is ineligible under tho Constitution of the
United States, because he holds a position of
trust and profit under the Government
Mr. Amos Aldrich, the highest elector on
the Democratic ticket has employed counsel
and will insist on being declared legally
elected. Tho Republicans claim that there
is a vacancy which can be filled. This is
denied by the Democrats and their position
seems to be correct.
Tho following quotations on tho subject
from dialling's "Elements of the Law and
l'ractice of LcgislativelAssemblies" aro con
clusive. Judge Luther S. Cushing, for n loug
time reporter of the Supremo Court of Mas
sachusetta and professor in tho Harvard law
school, was a jurist of great authority ami
his opinion can hardly be disputed:
IO. If an election is made ot a person
who is ineligible, that it, incapable of being
elected, the election or such person is abso
lutely void, even though he is voted for at
the Mime time with others who are eligible,
and who are uccorditgly elected, and this is

The Clinton Jlepublican, seems to bo a
trifle disgusted with the result of the elec
tion, to judgo by tho following little extract
from its columns :
Yesterday morning broke bright and clear
upon a nation of freemen ; to-day we are in
the deepest valley ot humiliation, Ketusing
to listen to the notes of warning, sounded
far anil near, the people (in a blind phreuzy )
have seen fit to defeat our candidates, and
we are compelled to say that tho United
States must suffer the sh.nno of having as
their l'resident and Vice f resident camuel
Tilden aud 'I bonus . , Hendricks. While
we confess that we are more than surprised
at tills result, we have the satisfaction of
Knowing that many more were lite wise as
tonished. And iu our journey to that land
of sackcloth and ashes, )clcpt Salt River,
we shall have the companionship of many
goo 4 aud honorable men.
If we felt tbtt way we would move into
some other better governed land where cor
ruption is not esteemed objectionable nnd
thieves are not molested. Go, brother
Kinsh e.
Whnt does this mean? Tho tollowiug
order has been issued at Hollidaysbtirg, which
to say the lenst is mysterious. There is no

The unhappy predicament of Mr. Sollaeo,
tho ineligible elector of Vermont, has
spurred tho Republicans of tho Nutmeg
State into a weak spasm of energy, and they
havo produced tho silliest and weakest of all
their wretched quibbles. They object to
Governor Ingersoll as a Democratic Elector
of that State because somo tcu or twelve
years ago he was an United States Com mis
slouer and they have never heard of his res
ignatiou I If there has been during or since

Judgo I'axson, of the Supremo Court of
Pennsylvania, in n recent decision mado uso
of tho following langttAgo:
"Tho trrowlntr disposition of courts nnil
juries to set aldo last wills and testaments,
II Inl to suustltuto ill lieu niercoi wicir uwu
notions as to what a tcsUtor should do with
his property, is not to be encouraged, No
right ot the citizens ismoro vniiieu man mo
power to dispose of his property by will.
No right Is more solemnly nssurcd to him
by tho law. Nor docs It depend iu nny senso
upon the Judicious exercise of it, U rarely
happens that n man bequeathes ms csinio
to the entire satisfaction of either his family
or friends. Tho law wisely secuics
equality ol distribution where it man dies In
testnto. But tho very object Of a will is to
produce inequality and to provido for the
wants of n testator's family ', to protect those
who nro helpless; to reward those who hnvo
been affectionate, and to punish those who
havo been disobedient. It Is doubtless true
that narrow prejudices sometimes interfere
with tho wisdom of sue'4 arrangements. This
is due to the imperfections nf human nn
turc. It must bo remembered that in this
country a turn's prejudices arc n part nf his
liberty. whero n man has sufficient
memory and understanding to make a will,
and such Instrument is not tho result of un
due influence, but is the uncontrolled net of
his own mind, it is not to no t-cl aside in
Pennsylvania without suiliciont cv!dence,nor
upon nny sentimental notions ot equality.
An attempt was made a few days since to
steal the remains of President Lincoln from
tho cemetery vault at Springfield, Illi. Tho
scoundrels pried off tho lid of the sarcophagus
with nchiscl ornxc, and tho lid of the cedar
case, in which the leaden casket containing
the bones lay, was forced off and placcifrup-
rigbt against the wall. Tho casket itself
had been pulled out nbout a foot from the
body oi tue sarcophagus. Tho plot was
suspected and detectives watched the vault
and wouldjhave captured tho robbers, but
for the accidental discharge of a detective's
pistol which alarmed them nnd they escaped
In tho darkness.
The only plausible motive to bo attributed
to these dcspoilers of the gravo is thnt they
hoped to be rewarded for tho restoration of
the remains, as it is evident that they in
tended to cut open the leaden casket and
gather up the bones nnd dust of the martyred
President nnd carry them away.
Two men hnvo been nrrcsted for tho crimei
iu Chicago. Their names nro Terrcnce
Mullen and Jack Hughes. If convicted
their punishment should be so severe as to
prevent future crimes ofthe kind.
Tt is a notable fact that tho twenty-two
northern states give Hayes over 200,000 ma

crablc stuff printed by such sheets as the

in Zach Chandler's office in Washington,
and sent abroad to deceive the people. If
the Gazette means that tho South is "rebel

scoundrels as Kellogg nnd Stearns to count

Pomcmme.v Takh Notice. It has been
decided in a Court of Quarter Sessions of
Philadelphia when a citizen may legally
knock down a policeman. Ono John Sbact
was charged with assaulting an officer who
had arrested him for not paying fivo cents
to a colored woman, tho price of a bowl of
pepper pot.
Judge Briggs in charging tho jury said :
"This arrest was clearly illegal. The col
ored woman has her only redress iu a civil
court, just as in the case of any unpaid bill.
The arrest being therefore illegal, tho prison
er was justified in using all forco necessary
to release himself nnd it the officer followed
up his attempt to arrest, tho prisoner would
be justified in using violence, even to the
extent of knocking hiui down. Tho officer
himself was guilty of an assault if ho in
tended to tako tho prisoner by force.''
The New York Jdeninij J'ot, u strongly
Republican paper, contains the following
eamtt ami manly words concerning the
counting ofthe votes In the Sotitlurn States,
U.ider .ie hind ot "Tho Real Sentiment of
tho Nation," the idilorsajs: "If Mr. Til
den has a majority (0 the electoral votes, as
it was reported hu had the day after tho
election, the whole natio-i will acquiesce in
his success Rut if, having rt-.ill y such a
majority, the attempt is iniulo to count him
out, the ii nt ion vill not acquULcu. The bet
ter class of the Republicans themselves will
bo among the first to protest against tho
wrong. W e say this because we desire to
imprehs it upon the couuting boards iu tho
tfivcrul dUputcd Htattx that their action
must be open, hoiicxt and above suspicion.
Pltlivioua Cioki: Counts!. Tho electoral
vote lor t'rcsldciit will ho closer this year
than it has been for many vears. In 1707
JohnAdams rccehid 71 votts in thetlectoral
college and Thomas Jefferson 08. In 1801
Jefferson iccclved 73 and llurr 73, and the
election was decided by the house. Slnco
then there has been no closo count iu the
electoral college, though there hayo been
several occasions when, thero beiiu more
than two candidates, no o'.ie had u clear ma
jorily of tho electoral vole ; and the election
was completed by the hniise of rcprescnta
tives, us tho constitution iu such cases pro
vidis.
We call the attention of our readers to
the article on the election of President, writ
tcu by Hon, Charles R. Buckalew, and trust
that its length will not prevent its being
read, It is a thoughtful and able argument
In favor of proportional representation, and
merits more than u passing notice.

ELECTION (IF I'ltESIIIHXT.
That tho voters of tho several States might
properly bo allowed iu form as well as In
fact to voto for candidates for President nnd
Vice President, and Llectoral Colleges bo
dispensed with, Is nn opinion now pretty
generally entertained j but thero has been no
common or general agreement tipim an
Amendment to (ho Constitution of the Uni
ted Slates by which this object shall bo ac
complished. Tho proposition that thero shall bo n di
rect voto by tho people throughout tho coun
try far candidates, n consolidation or the
votes cast into one general returii,nnd n inn.
Jority or plurality mlo nppllcd to such re
turn to determine tho result, Is qulto out of
question. In addition to tho ttrong objec
tions which Ho against it when presented
upon its merits, wo havo to consider how
Impossible its adoption is In view of tho
strong Interests opposed and which will re
main opposed to it. Fully two-thirds of tho
Slates would lose n portion of tho power
which they now possess in Presidential elec
tions by accepting it, inasmuch ns it furnish
cs no suustltuto for tho representation of
States as States In tho Klectornl Colleges.
Representation by Senatorial Electors con
stitutes at present from one-fourth to two
thirds of tho voting power of cacli of in
less than !! states in the Presidential elec
lions, nnd it Is idle to suppose thnt they will
surrender it without nn equivalent. It fob
lows that Congress will not pass by u two
thirds voto in each llouc, nor three-fourths
oi the States adopt, this particular popular
yolo plan for Presidential elections.
Tho plan of single Electoral Districts,
cither for the choico of Electors or to cast
electoral votes, has the sanction of some
distinguished names H-imilton and lienton
among lliem. But a plan which was plaus
ihb-iii lSn, or in 1830, may appear inlol
cr.ible iu 1S70, mid Invite instant rejection,
Aim sucn is this plan. 1-or wo can sco nt n
glance that it would inlrodueo most shauio
nil gerrymaiid-jring into every State of the
Union ; would whenever districts were made
inlhnie th? t-rced of one party aud the Mis
content of another, and would often work
ll.igrant injii-tico in our futuro elections,
Wo know much more about the iniquity and
evii.ot gerrymandering than was known i
generation or two ng.t, and in making Con
suiutional chan.i-s we mu't seek rather to
-.Miil-iiu- iii.iii io increase tncm. I Hero arc
i.iin-i .0 ji-clif iis In this plan ol electoral
Di-r.ieN, hut the tmo mentioned should suf
fice.
Lut low words need bo expended upon n
third povsiblo popular-vote plan for Presi
dential elections, to ,vit: That the voters
in each State shall vote direct I v for Presi
dent and Vice President and that candidates
having n plurality of votis upoi- tho returns
snail have assigned to Ilium the wholo elec
toral voto of thuStiitii without the iutcrven
tion of an Electoral College. But such i
change, if the details of it were worked out
and arranged, would be mostly a change ol
furm and not of substance, and would not
reach any mischief or evil of tho existing
plan of election. All tho serious defects ami
dangers of that plan would remain untouch
ed. To reach them wo require a changi
much more thorough aud effectual.
And hero we reach what we suppose to be
lirm ground. So far tho discourse has bcci
iinjecuve aim introductory. Wo may now
advance to the proposition had in view from
tho outset, and will bo prepared to compre
hend and to judge it. It is this : That
each State candidates for the Presidential an
,cc 1'iesidcnttal offices shall be voted for di-
rtetlij by Ihe people and shall receive tlcctoiv,
rotes of the Stutein proportion to their popular
vole therein. In other words, retaining elec
touil voles to each State as now allowed by
the. Constitution, but dispensing with Klecto
rnl Colleges, tho pcoplo shall themselves be
stow the electoral votes of tho Stato in just
proportion upon the candidates of their
choice, in the very act of polling their own
voles, and all that will ' remain to bo dono
will be tlie execution of their will by means
of proper returns and a legal announcement
of the result, The nronosition may bo ox-
pressed in tho following, or in homo similar
form :
amindmi:n r to thu conshi'dtion.
Articlo II, I 1, paragraph 2, to bo mado to
read as follows: "Each Slate shall bo enti
tled to a number of Electoral Votes equal to
the wholo number of Senators and Repre
sentatives to which the Stato shall bo enti
tled in Congress."
The first division of tho twelfth Amend
ment to the Constitution, ending with the
words "directed In the President of tho Sen
ate," to bo struck out, and tho following sub
stituted :
"Tho citizens of each State who shall be
qualified to vote fur Representatives in Con
gress,sha!l cast their votes for candidates for
tiio Presidential office by ballot, and proper
returns of the votes so cast xhall bo made,
under seal, within ten days, to the Secreta
ry of finite or other ollicer lawfully perform
ing the duties of such Secretary in tho gov
ernment of the State, by whom tho said re
turns shall bu publicly opened iu tho pres
ence of the Chief Ktccutivo Magistrate of
the Stutc, and of thu Chief Juslico or Judge
ot thu highest Court thereof, and the said
Secretary ,Chief Magistrate mid Judge shall
assign to each candidate voted for by a suf
ficient number of citizens, a proportionate
part of the electoral yotes lo which thoSlato
shall be entitled, iu mauncr following, that
Is to say : They shall divide the whole mini
her of votes icturned by the whole number
of tho Slate's electoral vote and the resulting
quotient shall bo the elcttoral ratio for the
State, and shall assign to candidates voted
for one electoral vote fur each ratio of pop
ular votes received by then; respectively, and,
if necessary, additional electoral votes for
succcsalvc largest Auctions of u ratio shall bo
aligned to candidates voted fur, until tho
wholo number ofthe electoral votes of tho
State shall bo distributed; and the said offi
cers shall thereupon niaku up and certify at
least threo general returns, comprising tho
popular voto by counties, parishes, or other
principal divisions of thu State, and their
apportionment of electoral voles us afore
said, ami bhall transmit two thereof, under
seal, to tho scat of government ol tho United
States, ono directed to tho President of tho
Sf nateund'ono to tho Speaker of the House
of Representatives, and u third unsealed re
turn shall bo forthwith filed by tho said Sec
retary iu his office, bo recorded therein, and
bo ut all times open to inspection,"
Tlieso provisions, with u few slight chan
ges uf phraseology iu the remaining text of
tho Constitution rendered necessary by
them, will constitute a complete, workable
Amendment, by which several objects of high
importance will be secured.
1. It will render almost impossible the
election of a minority man in u contest be
tween two candidates u peril very nearly
if not actually incurred in the recent elec
tion, 2, It will enormously reduce if not ex
tinguish tho chuueus of ii disputed elec
tion so dangerous to the peaco of the conn
try and to republican Institutions.
8, It will give a just allotment of electoral
votes to candidates exactly propottlouod to
popular support of each and not greatly
too tunny or loo few as under the old plan
1. It will givo almost complcto cxprcs-
ion to tho popular will, for cacli electoral
voto will represent nn actual body nf voters
i fair ratio of voters or nearly ono who
mvo ordered It given ns lliolr own rightful
and equal volco iu the election,
6, It will very greatly discourage nnd pro-
vent unfairness and fraud in elections, by
excluding the motives which produce them.
In this respect, its superiority to other plain
of nincndmcnt is conspicuous and mimics-
tlonablo. Assuming n ratio of 30,000 for nn
electoral vote, n fraudulent voto of 10,000
would menu one-third of one electoral vote In
stead of meaning, as now, tho balance of
power in u Stalo nnd control of Its whole
electoral vote I Sl'eakinc within bounds.
tho effect of nuy common fraud in n Presi
dential election would becomo insignificant,
and tho motive for committing It would bo
wholly removed.
0. That tho plan dispenses with Electors nnd
Electoral Colleges sweeps away Return
ing Boards organized for controlling Instead
o ('serving tho people places returns In re
sponsible, safe haiids.undern rule of uniform
application avoids a fiuitless assault upon
tho equal voting power of the States as to
two electoral votes each aud avoids the cap
ital evil of gerrymandering in all its possi
ble form?, aro subordinate advantages not to
be overlooked but possibly obtainable by
other means. Tho plan indeed fully secures
them, but its special merits nro those before
mentioned, In fact, in discouraging elec
tion frauds and iu creating' a correspondence
between popular and electoral votes so that
the latter shall truly represent the former,
the plan is unique, and therein its cliiel mer
it consists.
