IMPROVING THE SUFFRAGE.

While we are desperately struggling in this
CITY for any Right of Suffrage-since legal
vote peutraliEed by that of repeater is just no
vote at aII-they are moving forward in other
Localities TO render each vote more effective by
extending the power of the individual voter
and securing a voice in their government to
voters who are not of the local majority IN
,oI;tics. The idea is noble, and its general
anproyal is only question of time.
The Hon. Chas. X. Buckalew, late U. ).
Senator from Pennsylvania, who has honorably
distinguished himself by his labors for Elec-
toral Reform read paper on the subject last
evening before the Social Science Association
now sitting in Philadelphia. This paper ex-
Mains the meaning of Free Vote, and eucl-
dates it's operation. We will once more give
tbc substance of the plan to our readers.
The Counties of Onondaga and st. Lawrence
ore each entitled to three Members of Assem-
bly. Being strongly Republican, they send
only Republicans to the Legislature, and their
ten thousand Democratic voters are not really
represented at all. But, by the plan advocated
by Mr.. Buckalew, each of these Counties wouid
form an Assembly district, and each voter
therein would vote either for three dIfiereht
persons to represent that district III inc Assault
bly,, or he would tif he chose) put two names on
his ballot and cast II votes for each, OF ne
would put but one name on his ballot ana
give the candidate thus indicated three woes
Of course, the Democrats OF those Coun'ie7
would nominate i'm each single candidaIe'
give him three votes on each BALLOT anu thlis
secore his election, leaving the other TWO AS
sembIvmen to be chosen by the Republicans.
Thus. every voter would have motive for
attending the poll, whereas the minority either
stay away under our present system or attend
in the uncomfortable consciousness that their
votes will not avail.
We hope to see the proposed reform gene
rally adopted, as it has already been in ILL
nois. It is right in principle, and will prove
salutary in operation. Thenceforth, our Legs.
latures will represent the whole people, and
not merely local majOrities.

The President has ordered three or four
thousand troops to concentrate here previous
to election day. The first persons to cry out
against this very sensible precautiOn against
riot will be the political managers who are
resolved to carry the election, as they have
heretofore, by fraud and force. The usual
argument advanced in such instances is that
the presence of troops will provoke riot, and
that they who ordered the troops were those
who designed bloodshed. 1t is a very shallow
argument, though it has often prevailed with
the shaIlOw-minded, and doubtless will in this
case. But peaceful and honest people will
understand that the measure is simply and
solely precautionary one. The force which
is coming here is designed to act as pre-
ventive police, and will be employed only
when Tammany agents attempt by violence to
carry out Tammany threats against the United
States Marshals, who are ordered and sworn
to enforce the laws against false voting and
repeating" These threats have been so seri-
ously and openly made that the Government
cannot, in justice TO the citizens whom it is
bound to protect, disregard them. The meas
ures it has adopted promise to insure honest
people their rights and intimidate the villains
who designed and prepared for riot; and their
success will be their justification.

C,omparisons are generally OdiOus to some
body. and Tammany has shown that it cannot
endure with patience any drawn between the
results of the Census and its achievements in
the way of votes. But there are other con-
trasts afforded by the official exhibit of popu--
lation equally unpalatable to the Sachems
One such is furnished by the Seventeenth
Ward, with population of $780, which gave
Hoffman 10982 votes in 1863 when compared
with the Twenty-frst Ward, which has 5O,S9S
residents, and gave 6,546 Democratic ballots
at the same election. The Seventeenth Ward
extends from RiyingtOn to Fourteenth-st., be-
tween the Bowery and FOurth-ave. and Ave-
nue. A, while the Twenty first Ward covers
tho space included between Twenty-slxth and
Fortieth-st., Sixth-ave. and East River. Inc
first. with population nearly twice that OF
the other, has an area about One-third less
Tammany, knowing these facts, has not cared
to inform the 1882 Democrats crowded like
cattle into the contracted area of the Seven
teenth Ward that in the wide spaces OF the
Twenty first Ward is the greater portion OF
the gorgeous mansions" and "palatial sta
''bles" of the members of the Ring which once
aroused the anger of The World against the
plunderers of the people. 1t has not been
eager to tell the army of Democrats sitting
and dying in the one locality how their chiefs
revel on stolen spois in the other. Some day
the hundreds of thousands of people pent in
the tenement districts of this city will learn
that they are denied the ordinary comforts
and decencies of civilized life by the rapacity
of the Ring which makes New York endurable
only to the very rich. That will be an evil
day for the Ring, and it is not strange that
it seeks its indefinite postponement.

The ex-Empress Eugene has won more
genuine admiration of honest men and women
during the two months of her dethronement
than in all the years of her butterfly existence
as the central figure of the French Court.
The circumstances of her departure from
Paris, and the declarations with which she
left the Tuileries, prove her to be at once a
brave and tender-hearted lady. Her declara-
ton, made yesterday to the TRIBUNE cor
respondent in London, that she has per-
sistently declined to take part in any
intrigue for the restoration of her husband
or herself to the French throne, will be ac-
cepted as assurance of her discretion and
diplomacy. She apprehends rightly the present
spirit of the French people, and wisely trusts
to future time the hopes she has of the re-
turn of her boy to the place his fathers folly
cost him. 1t is needless to say that there are
few who share in any such hopes for the
Napoleonic dynasty but no one can fail to
respect woman thus discreet, mother thus
hopeful and loving. &C.,.

The gunsmith who found himself in custody
Yesterday, for having caused the death OF a
burglar by means of weapon fixed to explode
on the opening of window, will probably
learn that the law does not permit the setting
of deadly man-traps, even for purposes OF de-
Tense and protection. man can no more
make his house fortress than his person
walking arsenal But in view OF the little Sc
curity which the law and the police afford TO
houses and persons, will public opinion justify
the gunsmith in this instance, and sanctify the
like means in other cases -s

The Emancipation policy of the Spanish
Government has met with condemnation at
home and abroad. 1t will be remembered that,
although framed by prominent leader of the
Spanish Liberals, it was denounced in strong
terms by Senior CASTELAR,, the present leader of
the same party. The Spanish Government has
been called upon by this and other denuncia-
tons to explain its most inadequate policy in
communication to Earl Granville. The gen.
eral defense is very lame, and the most
significant statement contained in the article
is to the effect that Spain has confided
to the English Queen a secret document
(which plainly shows the intention and reso-
"lution of the present Government to put on
"end to the Slavery question" Whatever the
future purpose of the Spanish leaders may be-
their present policy is unworthy and ineffective
Emancipation in Cuba is farce, as all the
evidence eOes to show. The apparent anxiety
to explain theft past practices and to indulge
in specious promises will be construed as a
recognition on the part of the Spaniards OF
their false position on this question:.

The tendency of local politicians to split into
little absurd factions has been reduced to a
regular absurdity in Woonsocket, r. l. This
is MT very largo place, yet it boasts of
"Straight Republicans" straight Democrats" "
National Union Republicans" "COnserva-
"tives," "Citzen Republicans" and Citizens"
Though we know nothing certainly of the
causes of these various disintegrations, yet we
can make reasonable guess at them. Half at
least of these silly splits are occasioned by the
childish ambition Of A. or B. or c. to be elected
each to the same Office; and the remaining
feuds may be referred to petty sptes and per-
sonal jealousies between man and man. The
result is by no means promotive of social har-
monny Or brotherly love,

1t is fresh proof of mans ingratitude to
man, that the semi-SecessiOn newspapers of
the South continue to snub and to sneer at
the ghost of the Democratic party. Here is
The Richmond Dispatch declaring that the
Northern Democrats have neither "tact, or
"wisdom, or good sense to make up good is
"sues." "The Southern Democrats" it COM
placently adds, formerly made these up for
"them, and then they were always success
"ful." If we were Democrat" it seems to
us that the cool impudence of these assump-
tons would be trife too much for our equa-
nimity. Here is party, once numerous and
powerful, which has actually come close to
humiliation through its subserviency to the
South; and now it is told that it can no more
take care of itself than a little boy in long

high crimes and misdemeanors committed be-
fore it became of forcef The Republican
party asks the people to eject the Democratic
incumbents from positions of honor and author-
fly, not for proposing an amendment out on
account of an accomplished violation OF the
Constitution under circumstances OF pecuhar
aggravation.
The lesson Taught by this matter Is that
under Democratic supremacy the Constitution
itself is no safeguard either OF the public
money OF the faith and honor of the State J
and, as melancholy experience and present
threats abundantly prove, that it is no longer
respected as a protection to the rights and
liberties of the people. In contempt OF its in
functions and restraints, the treasury is robbed
and the ballot-box polluted without scruple in
open day Nearly the last right left to the
people is the right to vote and if Mr.. Tweed
should extend to the State the policy he has
announced in the City, and commit all public
functions to his Committee, the number OF
their OPPORTUNITIES to exercise it would be very
much greater. Let the people therefore use 1t
on the 9Th of November, and hurl from power
the scoundrels who abuse it, and restore the
Constitution to its legitimate jurisdiction, to
the greater security of the public money, the
public honor, and the liberties of the citizen.

Mr.. Mayor Hall and Mr.. Recorder Hackett
seem to have quarreled with their friend Mr..
John Graham, and in consequence that orna-
ment of the bar of New York is in danger of
being hoist with his own petard. Mayor Hall,
profting by the record of certain notable
criminal cases, attempts to excuse his late
friend for his recent brutal conduct in the
Courtroom on the ground of insanity. If now
Mr.. Daniel Mcfarland, as an expert in such
matters, will only come forward and give his
evidence Mr.. Graham's insanity may be con-
sidered as definitively established.

Tie meeting at the Cooper Institute last
night, held under the auspices of the Irish
Republican Central Club, was a very spirited
affair, and gives promise of much larger vote
from citizens of irish birth than has
ever before been cast for the Republican party
in this city. Good speeches were delivered by
Messrs Haggerty, Fitzpatrick and Others, and
the enthusiasm was at fever heat. All we require
to carry the State is fair vote, and our
friends at the Institute last evening acted
very much as though they intended to have
lust such an election.

young gentleman who boarded in the house with

lady said she would go, even If she had to 90 With

her best clothes and left the house. Outside the
door she found the fascinating boarder awaiting
her, and taking his arm they started for the BALI
He danced with her 0nee and then disappeared
till supper time: The young lady, indignant at
his conduct, insisted upon returning home, aud
h, accompanied her. Arrived at the house,
watch, of course, was his home as we'll as hers he
declined to enter, but presented her with pearl
handled knife, requesting her, when she used it,
to think OF him, and instantly disappeared. The
Young lady's mother opened the door and
asked her daughter where she had been. "To
the ball with the fascinating boarder" was Of
curse the answer, when, to the horror Of the
unfortunate young girl, she was informed that
the fascinating boarder had not been out of the
house that evening-nay, was even then placid
" asleep in his bed, a fact proved to her on the
instant by occular demonstration. The poor
girl retired to her room, and, as all young wo-
men who have the happiness to live In Boston
are trained upon Mills and Whately's logic, she
came to the conclusion that her escort was the
devil, with whom she had said she would 90 to

true, for we lind IL in that grave journal, the

young ladies who are fond of dancing, and
recommend them to be very careful abo ut their
partners, especially should they ever find them
selves in Boston.
