CUMULATIVE VoT1NG.-The Senate last
night unanimously passed MIR. Buckalew's
pet system Of cumulative voting, applying
| the plan to the selection of school directors
| throughout the Commonwealth, and the
bill will doubtless pass the House. This
| bill provides that whenever two or more
| persons are to be chosen in district for the
same term OF service each voter may give
| bis vote to one or more candidates-that is,
when two directors are to be chosen he may
give one vote to each, Or two votes to one !;
when three are to be chosen he may give
one vote to each, or two votes to one and
one to another, or three to one; in the case of
! four he may give one vote to each, two votes
to each Of two, or four votes to one; in case Of
| six, one vote to each, two to each Of three,
three to each of two, or six to one. This
will inaugurate an entirely new and novel
system in the selection Of our school boards
throughout the Commonwealth, by which
there can be no possible complaint on the
part OF the minority, and no bitter partisan
action can result. This will be the first
step, successfully taken, in the effort which
Mr.. Buckalew has for years earnestly made,
to Incorporate the free-yoting reform in our
general election laws. II the people are
enamored with the system as applied to our
educational interests, the desire will proba-
bly, be felt and manifested for its extension
to all interests, of whatever political lm-
MISUNDERSTANDING State Journal.
The reader will see that this plan protects
minorities. at present, if there are 1900
Democrats and 1900 Republicans in an
election district, the 1900 Republicans
choose all the officers, and the Democrats
none. These are in fact not represented.
They are ciphers. But under the above
plan, il there were three representatives to
be elected, the Democrats could vote three
times for one, and thus give him 6, 900 votes,
whilst the Republicans in trying to elect all
three could only give each 1900 votes. So
one Democrat and two Republicans would
be chosen.

were never a very hne class of people,
