CARL SCHURZ.

The nomination OF Hon Carl Schurz
as United States Senator from Mis-
souri, is a great triumph of intellect
over intrigue and wire pulling. He
had sixty votes in caucus out of one
hundred, but if the question had been
decided by vote of the people he
would have had at least three-fourths
of all the Radical votes in the State.
Carl Schurz is one of the ablest men
in Missouri, and perhaps the foremost
German in the United States. He
came to this country an exile on ac
count of his political faith, and after
4 series of fadventureS and 4 display
of heroism in Germany which would
well beft the pages of old romance.
Scarcely less remarkable in old world
eyes is his remarkable rise to power
and place Coming TO this country sew
enteen years ago, young, friendless,
unknown, foreigner, speaking an
alien language, he has risen to the
highest legislative position in the land
almost before he has remained long
enough in the country to fill the place
for by the constitution and laws
of the United States foreigner must
have been in the country at least four
teen years before be is eligible for the
office of United States Senator. Such |
an event would be impossible in any
of the world, and it is an
of the advantages of the
United States to the poor of other
countries.

by diseasel What is the loss of
property compared to the value of
life TO these, OF whom not less than
100000 were murdered by the rebel
lion ? Many thousands of Northern
wives and children, and aged par
eLts, thus lost their only support.
What is Miss Sue Murphy's loss
compared 10 theirs =? Suppose that
these could all present their losses
before Congress, would not the ap-
palling scene appeal to something
besides their gallantry? And why
should Senatorial gallsntry be in
sensible to the tens of thousands of
Northern women quite as attractive
as Sue Murphy, quite as loyal, and
who are in the deepest ailliction for
losses by the war, compared with
which hers is not worthy of mention?
Is Congress going to pay these +?
No; the sum is too great 1t can
not even afford TO replace the pecu-
mary loss because the amount would
bankrupt the government. Let it
reflect on the losses of these North
ern families, whose bereavement
shadows the land with the signs of
mourning, and who are struggling
for subsistence by hard labor, when
it has sentimental fit of generosity
for Southern woman who has lost
property by the crime of her neigh
tors and relatives, and who is made
stool-pigeon for a class of claims
that if admitted will make honest
payment of the national obligations
impossible.-C Cincinnati Gazette.

CONTESTED PRESIDENTIAL ELEC
TT0NC

The developments of fraud IN the
Presidential election in New York
made in the course of the investiga-
tion of the Congressional communities
render it certain that the fair and
honest vote of the State would have
given Grant majority of at least
fifteen thousand. Luckily the rest OF
the states were so strongly for Grant
that his election did not depend on
the vote OF New York. and the choice
of the Democratic electoral ticket
became matter of little or no mo-
ment, except to election gamblers.
But it might very easily happen that
the vote OF so large State would de-
termine the election of President, and
in that ease the gravest difficulty,
even leading to conflict of arms, and
civil war, might arise from a claim O.
fraud in the popular vote for electors.
And this fact draws attention to 4 de-
feet in our laws which greatly needs a
remedy-the lack of time to legally
contest an election for Presidential
electors. The electors are chosen in
November; they are required by
law to meet and perform their duty on
the first Wednesday in December
having done which their functions
cease. An election must, therefore,
be contested and the decision reached,
II any practical result is isattained, with
in four weeks of its occurrence. Now
in such ease as this in New York,
such rapidity of action is utterly and
and manifestly impossible. Fraud
would triumph and the candidate sup
ported by fraud would be made Pres
ident-or else there would be CON-
plica,ion, collision and perhaps blood
she'd
The most simple and obvious as
well as the most radical remedy for
this defect is the abolition of the en-
tire cumbrous and useless system of
Presidential Electors. As device to
secure the Intervention ofhigher minds
than the oulguns populus in the choice
Ofa President, it has proven failure,
and it limits the freedom of choice OF
the citizens, while granting no free
dom of choice at all to the Elector
The latter is a mere tool in the hands
of his party; the act of casting his
vote for President is a farce, for he
only does what he has to do. Again,
the system is clog on the individual
voter who cannot make his own choice
for President, but must vote for a set
of men who do the voting. Nor does
it give fair compression OF the strength
of opposing candidates. In New
York We see 43O, 900 Democratic vot-
ers electing 33 electors, while 42O, 900
Republicans were without representa-
ton. All these difficulties would be
done away with by reverting to the
simple and proper course of direct
vote for President and Vice President
by the people.
But as this measure requires an
amendment to the Constitution, and
as there is no axe to grind in it,
we fear that it will not soon be
adopted, and some makeshift must
meantime be found to allow time
for investigation and decision in case
of ffraud.-Cieveland Leader.
