There seems to be a very general impression in the public mind that a thorough radical re form is badly wanted in our whole system of popular -elections, so far as the manner of se lecting candidates is concerned. Each year's experiences deepen the conviction that, -under the existing method, the people have, little or nothing to do with the nominations, and that there will be no essential improvement in_ the administration of our city, State or national Government, until they do have something more to do with it. Of course, the immediate answer to this proposition is that it is the people's own fault if they gd that the system is all right, only the people are too indolent or indifferent to exercise their right. But we`do not believe this to be true. Therq is a deeper reason than this why the people ne glect the primary elections. It is because the primary - election — is - a - practical — farce, and — b • - cause every intelligent citizen knows it to be so, that he does not trouble himself to attend it. What is the PraCtlcal working-of the primary_ elections ? The rules- of party prescribe that, on a.certain day, delegates will be elected to a • dozen or twenty conventions to nominate as many candidates for the various offices. Sup securing good nominations,goes to this primary election. Tickets are handed.to him, contain ing the names of the delegates to be voted for. - But of what possible use are these tickets to - him.? Wbat does he know about these dele gates? Whotti do they represent? He cares nothing about them individually, but he cares a great deal about the conventions which they "are to form. If he is a very patient, per,se yering, inquisitive person, he may possibly find cu the principals - whom the difierentirelegatei ,__representibut if he is of the_ ordinary type-of the quiet, unobtrusive citizen, he will not ven pure to ask questions enough to inform himself, but will vote some ticket blindly or- go home without voting at all, diszusted with his own. ignorance and.with the whole system of our boasted self-government. Meantime, the few men who really run the primary election wink at each other in gleeful derision of the futile enthusiasm of the stray citizen who fancies that he is doing something toward the selection of the candidates, and quietly go on_ their way, allowing the good public to make the motions, while they really control and direct the actual machinery of politics. The strangest part of this whole farce is, that there is not the least necessity for it. The fraud and corruption and degradation of office which characterize the political movements of the present day are not, as some suppose, in separable incidents of the self-government of a free people. The people are not fraudulent, and corrupt, and degraded in their principles. There is a reserved force of public virtue in this people that has declared itself too plainly to be doubted or underrated. But a low order of politicians have slipped all this useless machinery of primary elections and nominating • conventions in between the people and the candidates, in order that they may control the officers and the plunder and power that go with them. It is full time that this absurdly complicated and bad-working machinery was broken up and discarded. It is worse thar, useless, and each year-of-its continuance tends to demoral ize the whole civil service more and more, and to discourage the respectable classes of the community . from attempting any active inter femme with the control of the public offices. The system which puts the nominations ,directly in the hands of. the people is, undoubt edly, the best one, and there is no sound prac tical objection to its introduction. The only opposition'to such a reform would come from the few political wire-pullers who find in the present system the best method for, manipula ting the masses, and for forcing themselves or their (Fiends en the people by hiring delegates of whom the people know nothing, to do their dirty work in the nominating conventions. There ought to be primary elections, but there the Republican or Democratic voters, as the case may be, should rote directly for the can didates, and not - for these irresponsible trading delegates. The principle is a very sim ple one, and has been successfully applied in other localities. Why it should not be applied in a city like Philadelphia we do not know Let the candidates for the several offices an / FONTIW 04113501Ye,5 in the newspapers, and then let the voters choose between them. There would certainly be very differe.nt results in many instances from those that commonly fol lowthe present system. Such men as the Bunns, the Kleckners, the Comlys, the Clouds, • the Alibrights, coming directly before the people for renomination or promotion, with such records as they hive made for themselves at Harrisburg, Would not stand " the ghost of a chance" of success. And yet such men as - - -'these, versed in all the tricks of primary • elec tions and nominating conventions, force them selves upon the Republican ticket, jeoparding its entire success, and hoping that party ailegi • , and the old cry that "the worst Republi can is better than the best Democrat" will pull' them through at the polls. .Such men as these wouldnot be heard of upon the Republican ticket, if the people, instead of the politicians, made the nominations.. Those who read the signs of the dames dis ...isionately must, see that the drift of public ispinion 'is in the direction of a general reform. • 'pie are not growing more but less sub the dictation of the party. They • desire and intend to be well governed, a wherever the machinery of any party becomes, corrupt or inefficient there will be a determined and successful effort to reconstruct it, and get something better. Never was .there a better time for such an effort than now. Both parties are disgusted with a large portion of their re-, spective tickets, and in the Republican party there is a loud and persistent demand for a bet; ter ticket. This demand, it it is not headed now, will assert itself at the polls in October, and the managers of the _Republican party in this city, if they are wise men, will take timely heed of the impending storm, and throw over board the Jonahs that now threaten to swamp their ship. The immediate- want is a reconstruction of our ticket, by placing the names of good and approved oitizens in Place of the Harrisburg 4 . .Ring.?'. The ultimate want is a total change in the whole system of nominating candidates, so that the people may have a real as well as a nominal voice in the elections. ~ BISMARCK. HIS MARIi. Scarcely any important political movement is made in continental Europe, Outside of the imperial circle of France, that does not seem to indicate that the great 'Prussian Minister, Count Bismarck, is its author, If he is not really its author, be' is suspected of being so, and at last he has come to be looked open as an ogre to frighten such Frenchmen, and other men not Prussians, who are little children in politics. The suspicion against Idna is as bad as the , fact to nervous people, and Bismarck, as the, leader of.'the Prussian Government, has come to be the bite noire of France.. The war of 1859, which stripped Austria of her Italian 'possessions, wa's .a work Of Bismarck as well as "of Cavour. While the latter lived, he worked into the ' hands of the one other statesman of ,continental Europe who had the brain and tile 'courage that he had to undertake to check the aggrandizing spirit of the Emperor Napoleon. The seizure of Schleswig-Holstein, with the, ar on" Denmark, was another work_of Bis naark'g. AS-a, sequel to this, the Duchy of Lauenburg has just been formally declared to be a part of Prussia, Bismark_ being the minister to make the declaration. The war of 1866—Prussia against Austria—with its de cisive victory-of Sadowa, and - the creation ot & German Empire, nominally a confedera tion, of which the king of Prussia is the head, was the - work of Bis marck. Even a railroad from Germany through the Alps to-Northern Italy cannot be proposed, without raising a clamor in France against what is considered _a new scheme of the monster Bismarck. The letter in . yester day's BULLETIN, from its Paris correspondent, has given its readers an idea of the_panic this simple, and commercially very important, railroad project has created - in France. It perhaps, absurd to mention, but Bismarck hal become a bugbear even to some silly Ameri cans, who have pretended that if we refused to annex St.- Domingo to. the- United States, Prussia, acting under the advice of Bismarck, would take it, and from this was to flow a deluge of troubles to this country, if not its annexation to the North German Confedera tion. Amongst other things managed in the in terest of Prussia by Bismarck, in the year 1866 i-wa- the selection of Prince - Charles of Hohenzollern, as the reigning sovereign of the mania. He is a prince nearly related to the royal house of Prussia, and it was a hit against Austria, as well as a hint to the other powers, that such a man, on the deposition and- banish ment of Prince Couza, should have been made the sovereign of a country not in the slightest degree Prussian, or affiliated in •any way with any part of the German race. It is the older brother of this Charles of Hohenzollern-Sig• mariugen, the reigning Prince of Roumania, that has just been put forward as a proper man to fill the throne of Spain, which seems to be going -a begging all over Europe. No wonder that the mere mention of the name- of Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sigmaring,e-n as a possible King of Spain should have stirred the blue blood of every Ca,stiliam. He is 'not Spanish or even half-Spanish. In ,s 9 far as he is , net 'wholly German, lie is Corsican, or . plebeian French; for his mother was the daughter of Stephanie Beaubarnais, who WAS an adopted daughter of Napoleon 1., and his father was the son of the Princes's Marie Antoinette Murat, who was the daughter of Joachim-Murat,-by -his-wife, Caro line Bonaparte, sister of the great Napoleon. To try to have such a man made King of Spain, in the present emergency there, is a clever—a too transparently clever—undertaking of Count Bismarck's. Prince Leopold was born in 1835 and was married in 1861 to the Princess Antonia of Portugal, sister to the reigning monarch. of that little kingdom!, by whom be has several children. P6rhaps the joint relationship to an — ictual King of the Iberian peninsula and the Emperor ,of .• France-.........ha5.-.--made -Cotint Bismark think Prince Leopold of Hollem: zollern-Sigmaringen—which is verbiage fur Prussia—a very available person for the vacant throne. of Spain. France on one-side-and Portugal on the other ought not,„:to object to the elevation of the couisiu the Emperor Napoleon and the brother-in-law of the King, Dorn Luis, to the sovereignty of the distracted Country that lies between their respective dominions. But will the Spanish Cortes have the assurance to oiler the empty crown to this German, whose blood, where not German, is anything but Spanish? And if the Cortes does, will the Spanish. people acquiesce? Of all the Cosas de Eapa . iia, this would be the most ridiculous. Count Bismarck has done a great many wonderful things, but in this scheme of making a German a king of a people of Latin race, and bigoted and prejudiced beyond all others, he has undertaken too much. ' Yesterday the Senate again considered the income tax, this time in the presence of many of the members who were absent at the time Of the last vote. • The result of 'the discussion was that the tax • on incomes was continued, while the tax upon gross receipts was stricken out. In other words the U. S. Senate treated with contempt the appeal of the whole people for the abolition of a hateful excise, •and yielded to the demand of rich, arrogant and grasping corporations for relief from a tax which all of them can easily pay; - and which has no objectionable features in the method of its collection. _Whiz action of the senate makes PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1870.

But the trouble is, nobody is without political prejudices. It will be very hard indeed to con vince Republicans, no .matter how just they may be, that their opponents are, entitled to a share of representation inplaces Where there is a clear Republican majority. And it will be more difficult to obtain their consent to the adoption of the proposed cumulative system in view_ of_the _certainty of the fact that the Demo- crats, if they were in power; would reject -- such a proposition with contempt. There is not the slightest posSibility of this scheme being re ceived with favor at present.

TI:.!EnDAY; fi:—While the , Wail street markets have been generally dull to-day. many of the larger dealers bein Still absent in prolongation of the Fourth caJuly holid g ay, the couise of prices has justified our opinion that stocks may rise while gold goes down. The earliest quotation of gold was //1 3 µ, from which, after a rise to 111%, there was a gradual decline to nit thif dose, the market being depressed by the rmuor that Treasurer Spinner was selling the two and a half millions of July gold Interest belonging to the bonds to his charge. Of course the right ot Mr. Spinner to do this is undeniable, although there is a disposi tion in some quarters to accuse him and the whole administration of gold and stock gambling every time this operation occurs, Witch it does about four times ayear. By mitering the market pri vately lie is enabled to get the best price for his gold, and is thus able to increase the amount of the sitikins , fund. Although the rumor was quite current this even ing, there was no confirmation of it to be obtained. at the Sub-Treasury. While it may. er may not be true, it Is .evident that it was used , to depress ,gold for the purpose of tipsieting the " bulls" in the stock matket, who are endeavoring to buy es cheaply awpossibli for the geue rally expected advance which is. to he the great feature of Wall street this summer. Again, the market was lower in sympathy with a nominal reduction in tin rates for foreign exchange, while the quotations for 62's iii London to-day collie the highest yet, viz., egria9l. The foreign exchange market was noininalir . lower, but firm. The bankers, in drawing at present rates, al low so small a cemmiesion to the brokers that there is in reality little difference between the rates of to-day sind those of last week. The easier tone of the market is due to its dullness, very little having been dope alter the holiday of the Fourth, while there is a disposition, on the part of buyers to wait for lower gold. The lower range of the gold quotation influenced lower prices in the Gov ernment market, Mit the decline brought out few bonds. The London quotation in advancing to 90Ignel checks speculative sales and en , couragee holders. While the currency prices to-day declined about three-eighths per cent. us compared with Saturday, the gold price ot bonds really advanced. The supply of money available fm' demand loans is still in excess of the • requirements of the street, and the rate in such transactions is three to' four per cent: cording to the collaterals submitted by the loaders. The stock houses are Mile to borrow all they wish at four per cent. The government neuters have largo balances left with them at three. In discounts there is less move ment, except for short dates.
