A DIRECT POPULAR VOTE.
The. Journal of Commerce and _ Herald
urge the advantages 'of a direct popular
vote in
.Presidential elections, and the
editor of the Journal says:
"Why should not a majority of the
whole people of the United States have a
right to elect a President on the same
principle that the people of the different
counties in 'New, York unite in electing
a Governor. There is no good reason
for - this difference in the manner of con.
dubting the State and national elections,
except that, in the creation of. the elec
toral college a certain principle of" State
rights" was 'recognized.' Under the sys
tem in practice each State, as a State, has
a 'mice in the election of the
_President
and "Vice•President,and gives all its vote
in the electoral college-for one candidate
or lir Furthermore,`each State
is entitled to two electors answering
the number of its Senators at Washing
ton.. Nevada with,its 40;000 0r,50,000
inhabitants, is equal to New York` with
its 4,00.0;006`in• this respet4: . As Nevada
elects - one reiireseutatiVe to dongreis, she
is entitled to : three' electorial votes,- while
New York, with' nearly a hundred times
her poOnlaf:Fon, has only Thirty-five votee.
The same principle of disparity, though
not as great,. ohtains in otlaer 'of the
States, old and ne*," , r-,.
Kellogg's 'Returning Board began its
operations last Monday. In deference to
decent public .opinion 'says the-Harris
burg Patriot, the - board has
. yielded so
far as to abaiidom itsiorigintil purpose of
canvassing the voters in secret, and has
consented:to allow.' five persons :of each
party: to be present at its meetings. This
concession was not the result of the ei-z
erdise of any : influence ,On the part of .
John Sherman, Garfield, Kelly and the
rest of the. republican watchmen, nor
was it due to the demands fif the , republi
can press.
._. So faffrom ,it the republican
leaderi who Went to NeW Orleans on pre
tense of seeing a fair count of the vote
as well as the republican press
,have done
and'are now doing all in their powertO
enCourage the board 'in its frandful,pnr-
PoieS. In the very ontstart' the board is
encountering most serious, embarrass
ment. The democrats protest that the
act:giving indica"! .powerS to the board is
In: conflict with the constitution of
toniiiana and that the ,board is not non--
stitured as required by law, as it is com
posed, solely of Members - of one political
party On ''behalf of the ..' democratic
eleetnrs a protest is' also made against
minting any,-votee 'for -two of , the repub-
Hem electors on the groind that they
were ineligible by,the constitution by
iu¢ of trust and profit Under the
,United States. To further increase the
embarrassments of the &timing Board
it appears from the official returns of five
pariehes - that by a Mistake - of the . radical
managers the names of the two elentord
at farge and of the elector , for the con
greasional - district . ,only =were .voted. for,-
leaving .the other Oe eleetors 1.900 be•

In South Carolina the majority' for
Hayes on the,„.aggregation Or the (votes
"actually east" ranges from 300.t0 1,000.
The count his been brought into 'the
supreme Court and the democrats have
filed excPptions to it on the ground .of
gross errors, irregularities and frauds,
which it believed will overthrow the'
reported result. a sample of theee
"irregularities" it is stated that the defeat-
ed republican candidate for senator in
Barnwell' .county took a ballot-box into
the woodsand deposited ,in iteXactly - 1317
republican votes and not a democratic
vote:, Nothing Wits heard of .this vote'
until five days after
,the election when it
had.heen ascertained that the democratic
majority in Barnwell was 1200. After,
depositlng his ballot-box with' the Re
turning Board this dliciple. of John
Patterson fled and has not since been
seen or heard of. The suprenie court of
South 'Carolina . in whom,. singularly :
enough, all parties Appear to have con
fidence, will revise this and similar frauds,
and instrnet , the board of canvassers •in
regard , to their dttiei in the final count.
In spite of the boastful aseertions of
the republicans there iia clear majority
for Tilden in Florida and the democrats
confidently declare that it will be_impos-
Bible to count it out. Brigham, 6.3bartie,
and other radicals are. constantly constantly 'send

great 'wonder and some eritiniem, among
a few of our readers, as appears by the
many interrogatiiries presented to us
personally, and what we have heard other

That this matter , rnay , fbe fully under

,there is no order - or law,' compelling the
