I havo been long of 'he opinion, and that opinion liaa deepened and strengtn ened with tho courso of years, that it is absolutely necessary to introduce in to tho Government of these United States, and into the fundamental law by which that government is created x few radical and far-reaching changes of system ; for, with us, as with other iioveriiments that havo preceded us in tho history of tho world, In course of time various forma of abuso have arisen to trouble and vex us, and it is neces sary that wo should erect guards against them, take tho -amplest securities against their increase and against their deleterious operation. Under our present system, wo chooso tho creat omcer of tho government tho president, through a form of elect oral colleges, chosen and assembling in each state, tho number of members in a college being equal to tho total of representatives and senators for tho state, upon ineir meeting in uiu Hum of Government, each college in its own state, they voto by ballot for candidates for president and viccpresident, and re port their votes to wasningion, wnero they are counted. This machinery, which was intended by those who framed tho constitution of tho United States to be a salutary and effectual arrangement for the choico of a president by men of great wisdom And merit in each state, lias utterly failed of its original purpose. Tho choice of electors, the meeting of electors, their voting in what arc call cd colleges all this has become mero matter of form ; lor they, in every in stance, are expected to support panic nlar candidates. The people do not use this form, except by compulsion because such is the only legal method of expressing their opinions in a presb dential election. They intend to vote for A or B. or C for president of tho United States : they are obliged to ex press themselves through this cumbrous useless, and in some respects danger ous, arrangement. Wo are going on under a system, therefore, originally intended to be effectual, but which has becomo mero form, and winch, m cer tain posibuities of tho future, may becomo possitivcly disastrous ; for, in a closo presidential election, if wo con ceivo that tho electors in any state should bo corrupt, then, voting as they do by secret ballot thoy could dc leat tho will or tno people with mi punity and oven without detection But it is suflicient for the present to say that all this oonstilutional machin cry is useless, and ought to bo abolish ed for that reason alone. What may bo proposed as a Biibsti tuto for it T This question may be answered in few words. Allow tho people to voto dirpctly, each man for himself, for tho candidate of bis choice for tho ofhco of president, and provido that tho votes in each state shall be re ported to the seat of government in the state precisely as tne votes ror gover nor aro reported, and that the governor, the secretary of tho comnionwealtl: and tho chief justice of tho state shall receivo tho returns, and assign to eacu candidate a proportion or share of th electoral voles of tho state, exactly in ratio to tho popular voto which has been civen him ; tho result of which will bo that in each state each cautl dato for tho presidential oftico will get on electoral voto oxactly nccordmg public opinion in tho btate, and tho w of the peoplo will be transmitted Washington, and will there be duly pronounced. What aro tho special advantages this change of system T I will mention but one, although there are several. is the most certain and elfectual pla ever doviscd to render presidential elections both fair and pure, and good repute. Now a fraudulent, cor rupt, or otherwise sinister vote of fivo or ten thousand in Pennsylvania or Now York may control tho whole elect oral voto of tho stato at any election it may bo tho "balanco-of-power' vote, and deternuno tho result, lako our own state. Suppose flint at tho next presidential election each party has about '100,000 votes, and can poll them nn J tako the necessary steps for that purpose. About an equal number aro ranged undor each ol tho groat banners of political party, and thoro is a corrupt or influenced voto in the groat centers of population and of human life of but fivo or ten thousand, what is the result? That tho thirty electoral votes of Penn sylvania for president raav be trans furred from ono party and given to the other, making a ohango of sixty elect oral votes in tho choico of president, and you can't help it. Four hundred thousand men may struggle during a long election campaign! exerting themselves to the utmost, expending their means, timo and labor, their ut most energies honestly in behalf of what they believe to bo principles of importance to tho government of tho country, and in behalf of a candidate fit for tho high ollico for which they support him i and yet nil their labor, oxertion and patriotism may bo wasted becauso a corrupt or tnauaeod voto in Philadelphia or Pittsburg is cast into tho opposing scale, by which thoy will not only loso their votes in tho elect ion, but by which all their just share of power will bo transferred to tho other side. Say that tho opposito party was entitled to fifteen electoral voles, becauso they had nbout half tho votes in tho state, that tho party virtu-1 ,lly disfranchised was entitled to tno other fifteen, becauso thoy had tho other half. Do you not sco that, under our present system, these fivo or ton thousand bad votes, bought up In tho corruption-market, or otherwieo obtain ed by illegitimato means, control tho voto of tho slalo mid Uislrancluso halt f tho honest voters therein 1 You may preach ncainst electoral cor ruption unlit you becomo blind and gray headed, and you wfdi't Btop it t It is in creasing in this country ,and it must in crease ns ths country grows richer, as tho number of offices to bo filled shall becomo greater. Preaohing against it will not accomplish your purpose ; you may check tho evil a little, but you cannot destroy lt,nj long ns human naturo rcmaius what it is, and men oven in our Btngo of civilization can be illegitimately influenced in public elections. You know all this very woll. But, by allowing each voter to voto for his candidate for president, with tho certainty that hid voto will bo re ported as votes for govornors aro re ported, and that his candidalo will get us complete snare or the electoral vote f tho Btate, iu proportion to tho popu lar voto civen him, what is tho result 1 That is what I propose to point out to you. Uuservo, U you divido tho popu- ar voto of this state,the 800,000 votes, by 30, you havo about 27,000 popular votes for ono electoral vote, that would be what is called "the ratio," 27,000. It would now require about that rum her of votes in Pennsylvania, under this plan, to secure ono electoral voto at Washington, sent there from tho re turns at Harrisburg ; mid, as our popu lation increases, tho ratio for an elect or will incroaso also. At no remoto lay it will reach forty or fifty thous and j so that, when your high officers of stato tho govornor, tho secretary of tho commonwealth and tho chief justice come to count tho popular vote, and to assign to each candidate his share of tho electoral vote,thoy will givo an electoral voto to each candi date for overy forty or fifty thousand votes ho has received from tho people. Do you not perceive that a corrupt voto in rinladclphia ot five or ton, or even fifteen or twenty thousand, would not mako an atom of chango in the result 1 Twenty thousand would bo but one-half an electoral ratio, and would not control ono vote, and of course any ordinary corrupt voto of ten or fifteen thousand would amount to nothing upon tho result. But sup poso you havo forty or fifty thousand corrupt voters, thoy could control tho casting of only ono electoral voto in stead of thirty, as at present. Do you not see that the motive lor corrupting elections would bo cut out of our sys tem, would no longer largely exist in it 1 Do you not sco that men would not spend money to buy votes when those votes were not to attect tho geucral result ? Thei'o would be no motivo for corruption, and we would get purity in our great elections, and honesty and lair play. At present, tho party that rn&orts to improper intlneno- cs is tho ono likeliest to win. It is like gambling, and tho party that wins sweeps the board. Under tho honest and fair system that I have stated, each party would get lust what it is entitled to. I say, therefore,that this ohango would reach down to the very foundations of our system, would eradicate tho motivo for corruption and illegitimate influence winch attend our great elections, would secure to the people equal rights in their elections, and the ultimate result would be an honest and pure govern ment, which is tho legitimate object tor which elections aro held. In conclusion upon this point I will mention ono fact : You remember that, in 1870, in tho election canvass between Hayes and J llden, there was great excitement. I am not ironic to discuss what happened the merits of the returning-board in Louisiana, nor tno action ot Uongress I am on another point. I then wrote a propo sition for ohanging the constitution of the U mtcd states in this particular putltmg into form tho ideas 1 havo mentioned to-night and sent it to Mr, JMaigb ot lork county, a gentleman of great ability and pcfect integrity or nurnnso who w.is 1 lion m I in llnnsn ot Hcprescntativcs. Ife presented it and it was reierrcd to a select com mitte, and was fully considered and agreed to by tho committed : it was then by that committee reported back to tho House, accompanied by a writ ten report which explained tho propo sition and put it upon the grounds which no one, I yenturo to say, can ever answer. But, shortly afterwards my friend Mr. Maish, under tho prin ciple of rotation iu office, that soino of us valuo so highly, was left at homo and his place was supplied by another, Tho proposition sleeps, but it may bo wakened to life. When wo havo another terrible danger over a prosl dential election, peoplo will wako to the necessity of amendment. But mink it proper now, in time of peace and quiet, when the passions aro not up, when no individual interests aro iu volved, when parly passion is silent, that this plan shall bo considered and action taken upon it by Conirress. and the subject submitted to tho peoplo of (ho states. If it is so submitted it will bo certainly and promptly adopted. TUB llTH CONdUESSIONAI. D1STI1ICT Wo resido in a congressional dis trict of very peculiar formation. It extends from tho lino of Lycoming to tho Lehigh valley, and boyond it to the Delaware river, and up that river ns far as Port Jervis on tho Now York and Erie railroad. You pick up Montou then you go cast, and pick up Colum bin ; then comes a tier ot township across western i,uzcrnp, all tho way down to tho ocnuyikiii border, by which you get a uuio comer ot oon ncctioii across into the Lehigh valley you then pass east, picking up n tier of townships and boroughs through tho south end of Luzerne and tho Hazel ton country, until vou roach tho line of Lackawanna ; you thon drop down the Lehiuh river and pick up Carbon county, pass across to tho Delaware river, co un it. as I have already men tioned taking tho counties of Monroo and Piko ! and then you como back over tho Pocono mountain into tho Lackawanna valley ; run down, and pick up some townships and boroughs, until you como to tho city of Scrautou mid then you hook out tho old twolttl ward of 'that city and that makos your district. That is, tho way tho district was made, in 1873, by pickini; out and piling up together nil tho Democratio majorities that could bo found iu this section of Pennsylvania thus giving us some eight or nine thousand majority ; ho that the Demo cratlo party on ono occasion, could ru three candidates against ono Kemibll can, and yet elect ono of their men to Congress. That was tho caso when Mr. Klotz was first elected. Captain Brockway ran ns nu independent candi date. Mr. Orvis ran ns tho Greenback candidate, but most of his voto was from tho Democratio party, and Mr, Klbtg rnu na tho regular oandldoto t nnd, though tho voto of tho majority party of tho disliict was distributed nmong theso threo candidates, tho low est of tho threo getting nearly two thousand votes, tho regular nominco was elected, having a clear majority over Genoral Albright, tho Republican oaudidate. In this district, tho Repub lican voto was viitually obliterated by tho action of tho Republican legisla ture which passed tho bill. Tho legls lallvo majority said to their political frionds In this district, "You must sub mit to oxtliiL'uishinont for ten vears, you can elect nobody, but wo will tako all tho Democratio majorities iu Piko, Monroe, Carbon, Luzerne, Columbia and Montour, and pile them into one huge mass, ami then thoy won t do nny mischief in hciahborina districts." That is tho way tho bill was made. was a vory unnatural district i very little social intercourse between the peoplo of tho eastern end of tho dis trict nnd those of tho western end t very little of business relations be tween tho two sections almost as widely Heparntcd as if the main chain of tho Allegheny mountains lay be tween as a lino of division. nisTonr. What has been tho history of this dis tricts For tho first four voars a repre sentative iu Congress was chosen from tno Lackawanna division of tho district; for tho second four years, tho represen tative was chosen from Carbon county; for tho third four years, tho representa tive has been chosen lrom tho county of Monroe ; so that for twelve years the conuressman has been taken fiom the eastern sldo of the district. Tho constitutional duration of tho appor tionment would bo ten years ; but, as tho legislature and tho govornor did not agree alout n new bill of appor tionment, the old bill continues, and an other election must bo held under it be fore a new apportionment can bo made. .Now let us co back into a Iittlo local history of our own. Tho county of Columbia was erected at tho sessions of 1812-13 ; it has, therefore, had an ex istence about seventy-four years. Mon tour county was cut from it iu 1850, but has always remained with it since that timo in tho samo congressional district. From tho year 1812 down to the present time, tho county of Colum bia within its present territory, has furnished a representative in Congress for barely two years. Dr. Leib, of Catawissa, was elected, lor a Binglc term, in 1814, Ho was beaten for re election by tho voto of Luzerne county. This is tho record of Columbia county as now bounded. Montour county had Dr. Pelriken as representative in Con gress ; that is tho territory now com posing Montour it was not then erect ed into a separate counts was repre sented by Dr. Petrikeu from 1831 to 1S38. And again, in 185G, John G. Montgomery, a distinguished member of your bar,. and a reputable and able citizen ot Danville, was olecled to Con gress. Ho died before his service be gan, of tho National-Hotel disease, at Washington, and Mr. Leidy of your town was chosen to fill out his two years' term. Since that timo when wo wero connected with Bradford, the election of Strawbridge, & Republican congressman, took place ; which with n,.mr,.rn.tu. T hnlinvn ,lno nnl .,, This is tho record. Neither county has been locally rep resented during tho last twclvo years while we havo been with tho counties on tho Lehigh and the Delaware ; and before that tune, throughout this long period sinco Columbia county was ercctod three-fourths of a century sho has had JJr. Leib ono term of two years. and tho town of Danville a Democrat ic representative barely six years. This is the record ot tho past. la I8oo, when Montour countv named Mr. Montgomery for represen tative to Congress, what was dono in Columbia county T Ho had served the waiter beforo in tho llouso nt Harris burg, while I was in tho Senate. I knew him to be a man of thorugh in tegrity ; his whole course while ho was a member of tho house was without re proach, his record was clear and able. Although there wero between our two counties remains of old local feeling what did wo in Columbia do t Get up a candidato thoro against Montour ? Allow anybody to como out iu Colum bia as a candidato against that fit man? No, wo wont to work among our people, and said to them ''This man is to be trusted ; ho is fit for tho placo ; he will do himself honor aud will do you honor, if you agree to send him to Congress.'' Accordingly, upon consid eration, our peoplo joined Montour, united our strength with hers, and wo went np to a conferenco with Luzerne and Wyoming united. What was the result! Mr. Montgomery was nomi nated and elected. Afterward, when his death opened a vacancy, Mr. Leidy was naineu to succcca mm ; tno same united action was repeated, and ho was elected and served. Wo havo not had any nomination in this congressional district for twelve years, because our two counties havo been separate, pull ing different ways ; and wo shall get no reprcsontatifo for tho remaining two years that wo aro to continue iu this district, if our countios aro apart in action. Precisely tho same causes that iiavo produced results in six no mi nations arc sufficient to produce tho samo result in tho seventh. If our two counties go together, united, and say to our urcturen oi tue oast "vo aro not this timo divided, we aro together; it is high timo that some semblance of fairpiay and liistico in nominations in our district should havo placo, and wo aro here to ask what is our clear aud reasonable right," wo shall succeed In what manner this united action shall bo secured is not for mo to say : it is your own matter ; you aro to de- cido it for yourselves, and I am con tent to abido by your judgment. But I desire to sty to you that, if at any timo I shall represent any portion of tho pconlo of Pennsylvania in tho Con gress of tho United States, I shall go thero for earnest work, and ono pur pose will bo to take up tho Maish amendment of 1877 aud see if it caunot bo passed and sent down to tho poople for adoption. Wo ought, in connection with it, to reform our system of selcoviug mem. bors of Congress. This vicious practice of gerrymandering states ought to bo cut up by the roots : thero is a very simple way of doing it. No such dis trict ns this in which wo now stand should be permitted to bo made. Does not every ono know that, whilo the Democratic party of this statu is en titled by numbers to thirteen members of Congress, it has but eight 1 That result is produced by"gerrymandering, by an unscrupulous legislature's cut ting up tho statu into improper districts. That ought to bo stopped. Thoro is no reason why it should not bo stopped. It only requires that Congress shall withdraw tho net which commands tho slates to divide their territory up into single districts by their legislatures every ten year, and that there be sub stituted for that plan, a plan perfectly plain and simple, by which each divis ion of tho peoplo in every stato will get its proper share of members of Congress. I cannot, howover, go Into that BUbjcct to-night. Ohango In Eulcs. Tho Rules of tho Democratio party as amended last year mado a chango in tho manner of voting for delcaatcs. llerctoforo tho cumulative system has been in use, but that is abolished and tho rulo is as follows ! "voters at delogato elections may cast ns many votes as there nro delegates to bo elected, but not more than ono voto for any ono uelegate. And in tho c?sc of a tio voto bctwoen delegates, tho question shall bo decided by drawing lots i n tio upon insti notions from n district by dividing tho vote." Oolonel Norris' Blunuor. From tho Pittsburg lst. Colonel Quay's candidalo for Auditor General, Major Norris, is getting into hot water. At Gettysburg tho other day ho opened his campaign witli a furious assault upon 'tho Third Army Corps nnd upon General Sickles, who with his friends has replied in person giving Norris tho lie. Thoy go furth er and say Norris knew ho was mis taken as to alleged facts related before ho mado his speech, but said it was too lato to avoid the error, as his address was in print. Of courso tho old sold iers aro intensely angered nt him, not only for his misrepresentation but for tho ill tasto he displayed in turning tho occasion to ono of controversy and al tercation. Tho reception given to Geit oral Sickles and the increased affection shown him sinco the Norris attack, go further to prove with what disfavor it has been received. Tho Republican politicians are apprehensive that Norris will continue to make n fool of him self. Ho was not put on tho ticket for bis gift of gab, but becauso ho could bo relied on by tho bosses, managers and speculators of tho Treasury ring to help administer a big treasury bal ance. Tho President has been vigorously nttacked in tho Senate for his freo use of the veto povcr in cutting off pen sion bills that had not suflicient merit to get through the Pension ollico. Thousands of dollars wero rcoklessly voted away by congrtss, but tho Presi dent as tho watch-dog -if tho Treasury has set the seal of condemnation upon tho practice, and ho will bo sustained in his action. Ho is not likely to bo iutiniidattfd by pension sharks oven though they wear tho garb of United States Senators. All honest soldiers will thank tho President for his efforts in putting n stop to tho run on the treasury by moro pretenders, and tho campaign literature which republican senators aro endeavoring to manufac ture out of this matter will fall fiat be fore a public that knows how to ad miro an honest and fearless adminis tration. A young Philadelphia cooper has just accomplished the perilous feat of going through tho Whirlpool rapids at Niagara. Ho built a barrel and shut himself insido of it and was dropped out of a boa. No other human being 1188 ov?r "veicd this samo stream, ex- Cept the Captain of tllO Mftld O tllO Mist who went through with his boat. Another man is now mado famous by his foolbardyand unnecessary exposure. He may bo possessed of a certnin sort of cournge, but he is sadly lacking in common-sense. A bill has passed tho Houso provid ing for sessioDs of tho United States District Court to bo held at Scronton. Tho counties of Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wyoming, Susquehanna, Bradford and Columbia aro embraced in the bill. Tins will be a great saving of expense to parties who aro now obliged to go to Pittsburg. Tho bill has not passed tho Senate, but is likely to do so. A bill has passed tho Senate grant ing pensions to all persons who served GO days or raoro in tho Mexican w.r, and tho widows of such, who aro sixty two years of age. Ti o rate is 8 a month. Democrats should bear in mind that the delegate election, will bo held on Monday, July 2Gth,and tho convention on iuesday the 27.
