THE caAwroien* COURT! bura
Maj. Po.wr,uoT_ the veteran editor
and one of the niost'candid and inde
pendent r,epuplictini in• the State,
gives the following sensible - views of
the "Crawford County system," in the
lastTranklin Repository. We cow-.
mend them to the eapecialwttention
of "the Potter Journal, and to the
candid republicans of this
,county
The Potter Joui,nal says: "The
Crawford county .'systeue take
effect in Potter county next year,'
and we feel confident that it will be
foreLmany years be adopted in all
the counties of the Commonwealth."
In tins prediction we trust and be
lieve the Journal will- be mistaken.
There is;no abuse possible under the
delegatd,systera that cannot be prac
ticed undir the other. Ygters of tbe
• \
opposite paity, in a sharp \contest,'
will be brought to , the poll and and
voted, the ballot boxes can. he'lituffL ),
ed, and the election o ffi cers frequent
ly.
midte - up ,the returns in total diS
regard gf the vote as polled. As a
plurality nominates under the Craw
ford county system, a candidate may
be placed on the ticket who has re
ceived only one tenth of the vote
polled and is the' second choice of
nobody. Our government is organ-
Ized on the repeesentative system`
and i t the delegate system is but a re
vflexof • it.' A convention composed
of delegates each One of 'whom' rep-re
sents a Constituency of fifty voteri,-
where a majority is required to nomi
nate will make a safer and- stronger
rionatlon there their.constituents
*se Ling m indi vides! ' capacity will,
under the plurality system:- We be
lieve that experience has proven the
truth of'these positions, and we
say to the Journal 4hat we are not
without experience in \its workings.
The .Republi&ins of Philadelphin
I'made all their 'nominations underit
in 1859 and-1860, eitendingthe sys
tem to Senatofial -districts in select,
ing delegates to' the- State' Conven
tion, and to the Nationttl Convention.
•In 1859 the Writer was nominated
,there for City -1 Council, in a .very`
sharp:Contest in the 10th ward, by a
majority of one vote over Winmait
S. PIERCE, now one of the Judges of
'the Common Pleas Court. Informa
tion' which subsequently camp to* our
knowledge, satisfied us that at least
one fourth of the Vote• east for our
ticket was fiaudulent,- and a still
greeter number of bogus votes were
polled for the other.- In 11860 we
were made a candidate for delegate ,
to the Republican National C'onven
tion at Chicago, which nominated'
LINCOLN. Aa'we carried every ward
in the second Congressional district,
it was not convenient to count us
out, as was• intend , we ;were
well satisfied.thai at least tivo of
?sr three • colieagnes/were counted
in. The Crawford county system
was abandoned'that year in Philadel
phiqi and nobody desires to return
-to it. Of comae the 'delegate sys
'tem there iss - a faice, and the mimina
lions are frequently fraudulent but
it is linter than the direct vote.
The -4 tweet will find that the
Crawford county system is not the
elixer it thinks it is. .

The following despatch from Wash-
ington reminds one of the ante-bet=
- -
I.lum days in Congress, 'when the
1 -Southern chivalry attempted todotni
:neer over their Northern. colleaguei.
Interest in, regular legislative ses
sions has ceased, and the only acts
that lately are worth recording hnp ,
pen when the doors of the Senate are
closed
. and barred against the public.
The proceedings- to-dhy were more
-exciting rind threatening than 'any
that have , (veined foryears. The par
. tics tothe quarrel were Senators Conk
ling and Gordon, but the whole Sen
;ate was wrought up to a high -pitch
of excitement. The discussion was
•on the nomination of Wade . to be.
Collector of Internal Revenue , in
Georgia, Senator Gordon had :made
a speech against - tile confirmation of
Wade and Seuatdr, Thurman
,took .
the floor to protest against the course
that was being pursued with nomina
tions for
.office. He said that a
discussion of two or • three hours in
length was to be had on the political
relations of the North and Soutb,the
two parties, the President and every
sliiing else having . any bering en the
subject, there was little hope of ac
complishing anything in the last
hours before the long recess.• At
this point Sepator Gordon rose to
speak again and there, came from
the RSpubliean side cries of " Go on,
go on witi the calendar ! Let's have
the vote 1" The words " flo on" : came
from several Senritins, among them .
Hamlin. Mitchell andCtiikling.,
This gieatly 'incensed the "..iluick
tempered Georgia •Senator t .abil he
cried .out in an impatient tone: '" The
Senator from New York is issuing
his -orders. 'le is ordering the
Chair." Mr. Conkling, considerably
excited, - demanded that the Senator'
from Georgia should repeat his hie words.
Mr: Gordon then repeated that the
Senatoi. from, New York . *as issuing
his orlers. s.
Ceinlding theL, in a fever' of excit(-
went, said, in a loud voice : "If e

Gordon at once sp ng to his feet,
and, trembling with ra e, aid : "This

wanted things to remain just about is
they were, and argued that as the balks.,
bad continually Settled -towards tbe.c.rtli.
it was likely to arrive their plenty sit Son
enough by the natural leakage of the gas.
There were a considerable number on
board, and among them some prominent
men like Pendleton and Ewing, who were
determined to atop its downward tenden
cy and have the balloon go higher ; they
said ," print enough greenbacks .to piy
the. national debt,' principal and interest,
the people's money is Rood enough for
the bond holders, what is sauce fur the
goose, should be sauce for the gander:"
Of course that was figurative language = ,
which simply- Meant when interpreted,
'4 throw out all the ballast, and let the
ratreat gas bag go up to the Old Hobby
I"
• , At length a'ter a great deal of cord 3-
versy it was agreed by the represent -.,
tives of algparties,,and the agreement w is
ratified in the most solemn manner, th t
the balloon should, reach the solid"ground
on the let day of Jan. 1879, that the na
tional banks already organized, and all'to
be organized, should be allowed to throw
out their notes (which Were used as bel
'ut);le nelimitedquantities at their own
deseretion, -by depositing with the Secre
tary of the Treasury the proper securities
'authorized by la*, and that for every 100
lbs. of ballast thus thrown out, the Sec
retary
isas,reqUired to open the value and '
let gas to the amount of 80 llia. in lifting
power escape, and these operations might
continue mail there remained 300,000,009
Ho, of gas,in the balloon, and no'roore.
ni
The softloney party thought they had
islitainetrati`advantage in the bargain as 1
the time• fixed to go down was a goad
while in the future, and if the national
banks did not see fit to throw out any 1.r.1-
last, then no gas could be let out of the
balloon. and consequently would be likelyl
to maintain the poeition it then occupied.
It was known that in Ordinary times-the
throwing Out of ballast was an agreeable
and profitable exercise for bankers: which
they delighted in, and no doubts were en
tertained by the soft money party that
the banks would. avail themselves, of the
privilege t ey granted of throwing out
ballast by the arms-full and as. by Mel
arrangement, the lifting power of-the gas l
to be let out by the Serretary Wah -to be
twenty percent less than the weight of
the 'ballast thrown oat by the baiels, tfity, ,
confidently expected that the balloon ile
stead of going' down, would go hp, mill '
sonic of. thorn had hopes that instead iii'
reaching the earth on the Ist'' IX Jarti'l
1879 the balloon at that time would be ale '
high that naliving soul' could tell in what
directiba the earth lay. - In making-the
-agreenient there was one-point which the
soft.money party, leid_not duly cen aid ered.,
\ tinder a. previous contract called the tic--
tional bank , act still in force, the baitts
could If-they desired recover the ballast

had thrown out as it was of a fth 'II

liar property of this kind of ballast ti t
like feathers it would float in the air wh rr
thrown out, but when recovered and pa
~ -
ed into the SC-Cretary's desk it had app .-
ciable weight and would cause the 41-
loon to settle tOwards the ground. nr
a while, after the agreement."which" wits
celled , 'the Resumntion -act" was made,
its operation was Much what the soft
money party had -ontnected, the banks

operation -in their technical language

mining their capital," and their object
was to fortify themselves against the at
tacks et the disease and to lessen *their
taxes.. Asa consequence of their action,
and some atmospherici changes which
took place, the-balloon started down and
