Inueb oectOed with the political or busi
ness afiliirg.o4 the day to
-devote much time
to the consideration of PropOsitions which
are stated :not as the conclusions of the
committee; btirSitnply as subjects for spec
ulative qie,Cybsion. We imagine, however,
that if it is e4er tierioUsly proposed to em
body thase - propokitions in the national Con
litigation, More than one serious objection
alit' be made to them by men wbo will ad•
stilt that they -are in some respects an im
provement= on the present useless and cum
bersome machinery for choosing the Chief
Magistrate_-' .
.
Briefly stated, they proPiose to abolish the
kl electoral college and allw the people to
vote directly for President'and Vice Presi
dent; to divide each State into as many dis
Wets as it is entitled to Representatives in
Congress, the person ' having the highest
number of votes in eadh district for Presi- .
dent to receive the vote of that district ° ,
which shall count one Presidential vote;
to allow each State two Presidential vote.:.
et large, wipe') shall be counted for the pcz-;
Son bavingthe highest number of votes in
the whole State, and to - declare the person
having the highest number of such Presi
dential votes in the whole country to be the
President. It is Ow% proposed to give Con
gress ppwerto provide for holding and co ( n•
ducting the elections for President, and to
establish tribunals for the decision of con
tests growing out of such elections.
Experience has ;Arcady shown that our
present system of choosing Presidents by
the intervention of the electoral -college is
not only unnatural and useless, but that it
may become ;the . source of actual danger
and civil cOr. The sooner it is got rid of
_entirely
7 this better' all thoughtful citizens
will be plei‘sed. But in abolishing the elec
toral etilleg , me don't wish to see it Ye
t-
placed Ity a ly similar machinery under an-.
other epee It seems to ue that these prop•
ositional put forth by the committee simply
destroy the name, while they retain the
thing itself- 7 thotigh in a somewhat mod'.
tied form. We don't see that there is much
to be gained by abolishing the living, breath. '
lug, moving elector, and, requiring the eiti
gen to cast his ballot for a constitutional ab
straction called a "Presidential vote."—
Certainly the advantages of such a change
would hardly pay for the cost and trouble
of aniending • the Constitution. Surely a
"Presidential vote" of this sort would smell
as sweet under any other name; suppose we
Still call it an electoral vote. It isn't the
name* that the people object to, but the
whole system of indirect voting. What
they want is a chance to vote directly for
President without the intervention of r .
,tiy
embodied or 'abstract agent in the slv ape of
an elector or a •' Presidential vote • e and it
does not speak welt for the I• age inky of
this committee of grave and reverend Sen
ators that they have been 'unable to. devise
eas mute feasible acher“o than that above
set forth. •
It is true tfl.t ' . ne second clause of this
proposition say t h e people pre to vote di
-redly for PrP:sident, bu.t the whole scheme
taken togethS: blig:4o that this is a mere
CP'Ill; plemiise.. To illustrate the practical

then the. voters of this Con,gressiOnal dis

net have been counted for hini Jany more
than it was counted for him under the pres
eat system.. y Rowever great that majority,
it mould imply have been counted us one
" Pres' ntial vote" fur Grant, while if Mr.
•Greele had received a majority one-tenth
to lariti in any other district of this or any
other State, that majority would have count
ed one "Presidential vote" for him. And
this we are asked to believe is direct voting
fur President! It is indeed direct voting in
letter, but' in substance it is the present
electoral system somewhat improved. tin.
4er it the man who received u majority 4.,f
the votes of the whole country might euzii•
be defeated by one who seemed but upo'•

improvement on the present phut. This it

we suspect, which commeuds it to u cer

to it heft:ire the people. They believe in the
true American doctrine that the majority
ehould govern, and they would nut be
brought to adopt any new scheme by which
the minority woUld be able to elect a Presi
dent so easily. ,` •
It would seem ei o

The October returns of the Department

which year were enumerated in the ninth
census. Wheat, through increased acreage,
will be en average yield, but_niit, equal to
the - splendid yield 0f1869, worth say about
$250,000,000. Con will be a short crop, as
it WlrS in 1869, bit will be abundant for

for export. This crop shows a remarkable
power for finding new avenues of coast - Imp

the effect that instead of the killing of Hus

he did it in self-defense and while the de•
ceased was on top of him, and after the de

ears and beat his brains out. 'Glen. Hinkle,

One of the interesting events of the past

The Fe1.,1 Office Department, through the

most important of all. On nearly cyry

The gold value of the foreign imports of
New York'city during September was $30,-
648,906, a decrease of $5,!;30,000 compared
with September, 1872. This brings the itre,

$315,386,852, a decrede of 04,696,679
compared with the correspqnding period pf
last year. The amount mafketed . during
the last nine months shows a decreerse of
$31,000,000, and the customs reve•otte of
$17,000,000. The-paper and coin value of

301,667 against 01,11'7,483 in September,

SPRINGFIELD, (D. T.,) Oct. 18, 1878.
To the Editor of (1e Agitator: _ •
While contemplating and enjoying these
pleasant. days, called "Indian Summer,"
on the prairies of the West, my thoughts
naturally go back to the many_likedaYs en
joyed years agone in the nevor-tu•be-forgot
ten county of " Old Tiuga:" The 'Mating
parties after the first autumnal frog r ts, and
the happy days given to bunting in the oldi
primeval forests when the leaves - of the
giant oak and broad-sin eading r•lnt were in
the sere and these come back_
with triple force as I ride over the broad
and treelessjprairie;surrounded with solitude
unbroken save by the occasional whirring
of a- brood of prairie chickens ur a Covey
of quails seeing from the face t,f civiliza
tion. •
It is said by some that these are the mel
ancholy days of the year; when nature puts
off its summer garb and stands naked to
buffet Old Winter's storms—a type or sym
bol of that day - when " shuffle o';f
this mortal coil" and droop and die, . To
me it bears a different signifiCation v Wi t h
its balmy breeze and smoky 'atmosphere'
there is a .something that 1111;,s- the drowsy
senses, into an oblivion of. f orget f u l ness; - .a
something that assimilat es our natures-with
outsi e surroundings, making us a part and
parcel; of the livi'ag present, and reaching
for the invisible beyond tite confines of
earth's boundaries. They are io fact'a type
of mootued---the ripe days of the year,
'wherein nature's bounty is, garnered into
the storehouse of need , orlavished upon the
pampered child of fortune. May each and
every yearbe blessed with many such days,
arid may we mutually profit by t i lieir annual
return.
The passion 'for 'County Fairs is prevail
ing to an abreinitag extent in our Territory
at this time, and the monomania upon the
subject teas assumed such vast proportions
that unless a squash weighs one hundred
poiarAs or over, un onion four pounds or
less, and other articles in like proportion,
the exhibitor is ruled out of the show and
his articles voted worthless.
The exhibition of blooded stock is un
precedented for a country still in its infan
cy,- the long-horned Durham being the class
most-in repute and commanding the highest
figures, a brief description of which 1 will
give for the benefit of your readers and the
lovers of .fine stock who have never seen
the animal. As their manic indicates, they
are encumbered with a muchness of horns;
length three and a half feet, and five inches
in diameter at the base; form, curvo•convex,
(a term used by government, surveyors,) sig
nifying' outward and inward; weight of
both horns when detached from the animal,
•
100 pounds; weight of animal with horns
attached, 200 pounds; species, Texas steer;

his colleagues, who have lately been t, ut

ture in the case, many roadsters--kings and

ans of the Rocky Mountains; noted for,
their agility—to tumble down, and powers
of endurance—to be mauled; while ruP'n'y

premiums are liberal, keeping the winner in
good spirits, and encouraging the introduc
tion of much good l horse 'flesh. Fur in

$l2 69, to be di.O.:de equially between the
four best horse:a; tw lve Wenter, and eight
to start. Entrance fee twenty per cent. of

serve l'aut there is small. chance for the soci: .
ety do lose anything under the above
,regu.
Wiions, but the great object sought is, the
improvement of stock, which object is ac
complished.
I will now pass from the above subject,
and speak of-that which has been the uni
versal topic of conversation for the last
three weekS, the assassination of the Secre
tary of our Teiritory, Gen. Edwin S. Me
-Cook. 'Your • readers long ere this have
been made acquainted with the circumstan
ces of the case, and yet in the immediate
vicinity of the tragedy we never tire of
speaking his praiies or of mourning his un
timelg end. In the strength of his man
•hood,land with life's honors thickly gather
ing around him, the bullet of the assassin
suddenly ended •
his career of usefulness.—
Open and generous to a fault, he was hon
ored and respected by the great mass of the
people of this•Terriiory, and in addition to
that be had made for himself a national rep
utation that will last as long as time. Cir
cumstances' of ! this kind will sometimes oc
cur, especially in new and frontier locali
ties; but for a deliberate, premeditated,
cold-bloodecljinurder this has only one par
dllel in our recollection, rind that is the as
sassination, of Pi esident Lincoln. Look at
the matter in whatever light we will. with

the British Government had practiced to-.
