will contain brief editorial article reciting the
various propositions which have been
made for casting the Greeley cleo
or some one of the other candidates
before the Cincinnati Convention, for Gratz
Brown or fer Grant. It quotes from the very
last article written by Dir. Greeley in the
Tribune, his counsel to the South to accept the
situation, and his declaration that he is well

late struggle are inclined to correct the abuses
and satisfy the just complaints Of the South to
the extent Of their power. It inquiries whether

course would help to Lift the next Administration
out of partisanshp, and By giving it its election
such reforms in the Administration, both South
and North, as are clearly needed, but have been
hitherto resisted by partisan nesessities. It
thinks, however, in this case, that Gr.tz Brown
should receive the Electoral vote for Vice Presi-

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Times editorial says:
Mr.. Gr2elcJ's death is likely to call public at
tention to the dangerously-i indirect method by
which the President ia chosen. # at any time
the person in whose name tLe majority Of the
Electors chosen should die in the interval be-
tween the voting day and the day fixed for the
meeting OF Electors, it is easy to see that by the
arts of professional politicians acting upon q
small body OF men, notoriously unit person
might be fossted upon tile nation as Chief Mag
iatrate. The only obvious and certain way to
avoid risks which would attend such g. contir-
gcncy would be to vote directly for President
and Vice President"
