How Lincoln was Elected.

Last week we suggested pl'n oil SO
changing the Constitution as to allow
Presidential Electors to be chosen by dis
tricts, similar to choosing member oil
C Coegress. Many persons, not acquainted
with. our system OF electing aPiesident'
are surprised to know that Mr.. Lincoln, IS
elected President by about one thru or
the popular vote Of the country yet such
is the fact.
At the time the difficulty occurred be-
tween Mr.. jefferson and Mr.. Burr, it was
generally supposed that the district sys-
tenn would oe adopted; but through the
Vaccinations of some politicians in New
York, the present system was adopted,
and it was finally adopted by all the
States.
Below we publish table based upon
this principle, and we hope to see it "dop-
ted before another Presidential ell ,clon
takes place,
1t required TO elect l52 votes in the
electoral colleges, and Lincoln received
$50; but had the vote been y districts he
would have received only l45 votes, and
would therefore have beer beaten. Here
| is n table of the votes he received, and the
votes he would have received under the
district system, in the following States ::

DailY's VOC in NemaIla.

While Daily's majority falls very little
below what it was last year, his vote in
the county is much larger. In what is
now Brownville precinct. last year he re-
eeived but "a votes. This year he gets
126. Last year, in what was then Peru
precinct, he received but 146 votes. This
year lS3. St. Frederick, last year he
ceived but A votes, this year, %. Last
year, in Longs precinct, he received Is
votes; this year 23-all handsome gains.
Last year he had "a votes in Nemaha
City, this year but 70, loss of five
His majority in the county is decreased
by residents on the Half Breed Land yot-
ing, and nearly unanimously for Morton.
In our opinion residents on Indian res
eryatiops have no more right to vote in
Nebraska than have the people of Mis-
souri, or Iowa. They are not taxed and
aid in no way in supporting our Organi-
cations. The Organic Act, in describing
our Territorial boundaries, expressly
excepts Indian reservations. AS we have
triumphed even against thisvote, we are
not disposed to complain very loud but
there is a question to be decided in re-
gard TO it, and we hope it will be done.
Had the Half Breed vote not been al
lowed, Doily's majority would have been
$50 in Nemaha County.

The EIectlOn in Nemaha.

The election which took place in this
county on Tuesday last, resulted in the
success of the entire Republican Ticket.
The friends of each candidate did their
vsry best The principal race among the
county candidates was between Upton
and PIasters, candidates for Council
both excellent men with warm friends,
who left not an inch Of ground unturned.
The vote, as will be seen, was close
Mr.. Tipton's vote in johnson, however,
will give him a handsome majority in
the district. While he must feel-gratiied
with the fact that he won the race, he
cannot loose sight Of another fact, viz
he beat a good man:-one of Nemaha
county's best citizens.

been Sufficient to cause an nuprising among
