STARVATION AMONG THE NEG R8Es
IN WARRINGTON,

A meeting was held in Washing
ton on the night of the Sd inst, by
black Republicans, at which it was
stated that there was great suffering,
reaching almost actual starvation,
among the negroes in Washington.
1t was shown that the corporation
had not been able to pay the ne
groes who had worked on the streets
for three months, and that the city
is bankrupt. The Mayor was
further charged with having swim
died the city out of eleven thousand
dollars. Property holders in Wash
ington are so disheartened that, the
Baltimore Sun Of the 1st inst. says,
they are selling off in Washington
at sacrifice and moving to Balti-
moro. Referring to the reports of
suffering among the unusually large
body of negroes in Washington the
Louisville Courier Journal says:
Notwithstanding the great and unsatis
fed demand for plantation labor in the
South and the extraordinary prices de-
manded and allowed there for negro hanns,
the chairman of the National Freedme enc
Relief Association issues an appeal for the
relief of the thousands of negro Migrants
who throng the capital, fighting at election
times and begging and stealing at all
other times. The chairman announces
that there are no less than thirty thouN
sand destitute negroes suffering for the
want Of neccessaries Of life within the di5-
trict Of Columbial What q condition of
things such q statement reveals 1T Is
shocking. The withdrawal OF vast multi
tudes Of blacks from the Southern fields
Of labor has OF course operated very disas-
trously upon the interests of that section,
but we might naturally expect that the PEG,
Die of the North, by whom the old system
Of black labor was broken up, would con-
tribute freely TO the temporary relief Of
the freedmen in their new situation. Well,
how extensively has philahthruphy, in
her Northern abode, given for the mitigaN
ton Of the snfferings of the host Of 3d.
coo perishirg blacks upon almost the very
verge of the North? The chairman tells
the thrilling story. During the last year
the association has received from the
North one barrel of onions and few po-
tatoes, the whole, onions and potatoes to-
gether, worth Sl3 80, and the supply has
been impartislly divided out among the
necdiest of the needy thirty thousand,
whose thanks are expressed in proper
form Oh, Northern philanthroPhy Oh,
Radical love for the African race how
uobly thou exhibitest thyself in the dis
tended eyes Of an admiIing world !

Stokes AND sENTER IN WASHING.

TON.
The Washington correspondent
of the New York Times furnishes a
somewhat clearer account of the
interviews between Stokes and
Grant and certain friends of Senter
and Grant on the LIST inst. than we
have yet seen. 1t is known that
Stokes and ]. J. Noah, John Brow
low and Dave Nelson, the latter
friends of Gov. Senter, were adj
mitted to an audience with the
President at the same time. This
caused considerable embarrassment,
and Stokes expressed himself as
decidedly opposed to laying his
grievances before the president with
his opponents for an audience. The
President seems to have apprecia-
ted the situation, for he appointed
another hour for an interview with
Stokes, and dismissing him, turned
to hear the representatives of Gov.
Senter. Col. Brownlow was the
spokesman, and the Times CORES
pondent furnishes this report of the
interview:

The Electoral College.

TIE result of the last Presidential election has
impressed the Democratic Senator from Penn
sylvania, Hon. Charles R. Buckalew, more
strongly than ever with the necessity of secur-
ing, by change in the laws regulating cleo
tions, or in the Constitution, representation
for the Democratic minorities which were en-
gulfed in 1860 1864, and 1868 in the tri-
umphant waves of Republoanism.
While We have not'the slightest desire to
assist Mr.. Buckalew's endeavors to maintain
a precarious existence for the Democratic
party, despite its condemnation by the patri-
otic instincts and popular judgment of the
nation, we have no objection to presenting to
our readers, in a condensed form, the leading
ideas in his speech of the l7.h, in which he
earnestly and ably advocated his favorite
idea.
Mr.. Buckalew demonstrated that under the
present system it is not only possible to elect
a President who does not obtain clear ma
jority over all mis- competitors, butthat Presi-
ntmsy be chosen who receives much smaller
number of votes than his unsuccessful COM
petitor. AS an illustration, he sdduced the
fact that Adams was elected in 1924, although
General Jackson received more popular votes
than his two principal competitors, Adams
and Crawford, combined. He also referred to
the fact, that although in 1860 Douglas re-
ceived l 1875, l57 votes, being the second can
didate on the list; and although Bell received
but 500, 63l votes, and Breckinridge SAT, 953,
if the election had gone to the House Doug
las could not have been voted for there, be-
cause he had received fewer electoral votes
than either Of his competitors, and that the
House, as then constituted, would have elected
either Bell or Breckinridge, thus defeating
Lincoln as well as Douglas.
! The remedy usually proposed is direct
popular vote for President and Vice President
which would dispense altogether with the
! present antiquated and cumbersome ma
chinery of the electoral colleges. Mr.. Bucka
lew, however, contends that, Notwithstanding
the justice of such a change, it is impracti.
cable, on account of the tenacity with which
the smaller States cling to the enhanced
political Importance and power they acquire
through their Senatorial electors, and that
they will forever refuse to voluntarily ratify
would diminish their influence in the great
quadrennial combats of conflicting parties.
The remedy he proposes is, that Congress
sional electors shall be chosen by the respec
tive districts as Congressman are now chosen,
instead Of being elected on general State

ticktts. To make this change uniform, II
would be necessary that the power now vested
In the State Legislatures of prescribing the
manner in which electors are chosen should
be transferred, by q constitutional amend
ment, to Congress, and that Congress should
then provide by law for the adoption of the
proposed new system in every State.
The practical effect of this new system
would be that in Presidential elections, no
matter who would be the fsvorite candidate of
Pennsylvania as a State, Lancaster county
would be sure to cast one electoral vote for
the Republican nominee, and Berks county as
certain to vote for the standard bearer of the
Democracy; and that the votes OF the Congress
sionsl electors would closely correspond with
the political complexion of Congressional dele
cations.

The Clerical pin Guilty at Auburn.

The Clerical Din Guilty nL Auburn,
THE telegraph announces that great excite
ment prevailed at Catholic church in Auburn,
New York, on Sunday last, in consequence of
the determination of large proportion of the
congregation to resist the action of Bishop
McQuaid in removing fsvorte old pastor,
O'Flsherty, and installing a new appointee,
named Kavansgh. When the latter attempted
to discharge the duties of his priestly Office, a
portion OF the crowd pushed their way to the
altar, and taking the priest by the arm, led
him out of the church. The Bishop, who was
present, tried in vain to enforce his authority.
and the interposition of the deposed priest
was apparently necessary to prevent a violent
assault upon his nominal successor. After
Bishop McQuaid and his prot6g6 had left the
church, meeting of one thousand Catholics
was held, which strongly condemned the
action of the Bishop and insisted upon the
retention of their old pastor, Father
O'Flaherty. The meeting also resolved to
appeal from the Bishop to the highest eccle
siastical authorities of the country, or, il ne
cessary, to the Pope himself.
Similar occurrences which occasionally
transpire in different portions of the United
States, indicate that American Catholicism,
like all other religions in this country, is i'm
bued with the liberal and Independent spirit
pervading every ramifoation of American
society, and that no attachment to the doc
trines, the traditions, or the authorities of the
Church will prevent energetic resistance to
any ecclesiastical action which is deemed un-
just or tyrannical by indignant congregations.
The Catholic Church is increasing in mum
bers and wealth in this country with wonder
full rapidity. Its ranks are constantly
swelled by the never-ceasing waves of emigra-
ton, and occasionally converts are gathered
in from other denominations. But the con-
tinuanoe of this prosperity is contingent, in a
large degree, upon the preservation of hsr-
monious relations between the ruling powers
of the Church and the respective oongrega-
tions. Unquestioning obedience cannot be
uniformly obtained by ecclesiastical pressure;
and there are thousands of American Catho-
lies who would even brave the terrors OF
accommodation before they would volun-
tarily obey DEGREES which they deemed arbi
trary or unjust.
