GREILEY's TRIBUNE ON CUMULATIVE
VorING.-The plan needs further elabora-
ton, and is doubtless susceptible OF I'M
provement, but the idea is essentially just.
Let every eector be enabled to vote with
q moral assurance that his ballot will avail,
even though his party be less than ma
iority, and its triumph consequently hope
less. Suppose q State to contain 10000
Republicans and $4,000 Democrats-Iike
New Hampshire, for instance-why not so
orange that these numbers be mirrored IN
the strength Of the rival parties in either
branch OF the Legislature Suppose it
contain 100, 900 Republicans and but 10000
Democrats, like Massachusetts-why not
allow the minority to have such share OF
the representation in Congress and the
Legislature as their numbers will justify
Suppose Massachusetts, were 10 choose her
ten representatives in Congress under this
system, the Democrats could say: :" by
running but two candidates and placing
the name Of each five times on our ballots,
We can make their election certain u; and
they would thus DC supplied with mo-
tive for EFF rt which is now lacking.
Great reforms arc always effected slowly,
and it may take years to render this sutli-
cicntly familiar to insure lis adoption. We
feel confident, however, that the principle
is sound, and in some form will ultimately
be adopted.-22d.

CUMULATIVE VoTING IN ENGLAND.~ThC
division on the cumulative vote in the
House Of Commons was q very remarka.
bio one, and worth remembering by all
who take an interest in the question.
The proposition seems, a prioa1, to be rea-
sonnble enough. Say that constituency
Is represented by three members, then
every voter may cast three votes, either
for Que candidate in lump, or distributed
among the three, and thus the minority
could secure representative. The sup
port given to the resolution proceeded
chiefly from the Liberal party, but about
a score Of Conservatives voted for it. Mr..
Disraeli and the Ministry generally OPP
posed it, and with them were Mr.. Glad
stone, Mr.. Bright, and many other so called
Radicals. Tie members who are satiri-
caly called "litcrary and philosophical
were pretty equally divided. 1t is proba-
bic that the vote will be made an annual
one by the regular reIntroducton of the
proposition, and in that case we incline to
think that it will result in victory for the
present minority. We arc glad that a
subject Of so mnch Importance has been
taken up in this country.-Ne,c York
Times.

rurr ARE SWORN IN.-Meautnie, however,
the work Of registration is going on
throughout the whole State, and to-day
had an opportunity Of seeing the process
In practical operation at the Atlanta
ronr.- house. The board is composed of
two white men and one black, and during
INV stay saw several scores of both races
made into voters. After several white
non had been sworn individually, batch
Of seven blacks was called up, and Pompey,
Caesar, and Crassus, were made citiHens In
the lump. 1t was curious spectacle, and
one calculated to stir many reflections.
Standing in q row, they listened very at
tentively to the reading of the oath, some
bending forward and others with hand to
the ear, the better to catch each word. The
reader threw in for their benefit a run
ming exegesis of the oath, causing
them to guffaw by droll look when
he recited that part Of it which makes
them swear that they had never
held "executive or judicial Office in any
State" while, when he came to read the
prohibition against registering by those
who had been disiranchised for felony, and
explained - ielOny Dy tlle gloss, SUCH
as cow-stealing," they were SO struck by
the drollery of the Interpretation that
their bodies bent and swayed in uncon-
trolablc merriment. Throughout all the
recital their countenances showed des-
perate mental effort to keep their "holt
Of the meaning, and during the reading of
the main body Of the oath the effort was
measurably successful; but when the re-
officer came to where the formula
speaks Of "an act supplementary to an
act the poor fellows became perfectly
like Twemlow, they found
their iutelects giving way under the Sc
we're strain, and they lapsed into mere
outer darkness and collapse. When
afterwards talked with them on the: court
house steps, could not find one who had the
'aintest idea Of the meaning or purpose OF

CHIEF JUSTICE M ACKNOWLEDGMENT re-
turning from North Carolina, wrapped in
profound thought on some knotty point,
found himself suddenly brought to halt
by small tree which interviewed between
the front wheel aud body Of his buggy.
Seeing servant at short distance, ne
asked him to bring an axe and cut down
the tree. The servant told the Judge that
there was no occasion for cutting down the
tree, but just to back the buggy. Pleased
at the good sense Of the fellow, he told
him that he would leave him something at
the inn hard by, where he intended to
stop, having then no small change. In due
time the negro applied, and dollar was
handed him. Being asked if he knew
who it was that gave him The dollar, he re-
piled: "No, sir 1 concluded he was a
gentleman by leaving his money, but
think lie is the biggest fool ever saw"

A" HANDY" JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
Before justice in Newark, on Tuesday,
man and his wife applied 10 grant them q
divorce. Acting upon the theory that as
he had the power to marry, he must also
have the power to divorce, the accommo-
dating Justice readily granted their re-
quest, and was made happy by receiving a
fee for the service. On "Wednesday the
same man entered the Justices office in
company with young girl, to whom the
Justice married him. Later in the day
the divorced woman also called upon the
magistrate with man, to whom she was
married by the Justice. Thus the magis.
trate earned three fees, and under the
laws of the State one woman now has two
husbands, and one man two y YES. All OF
the persons immediately interested, inclu-
ding the Justice, are satisfied.
