Perhaps it is low view to take of what
may be a question of politics; but dispatches
from South Carolina seem to indicate that the
Senatorial contest in that State will be decided
by the cOlored men either on grounds of pc
cuniary reward or of mere race At any rate,
the colored men have majority in each
branch of the Legislature, and largely prepon-
derate on joint ballot. The explanation of the
situation is that the black candidate for the
United States Senate has relied on the race
prejudices of his cOmpatriots, who are in q
majority and the white candidate is said to
have cash to spend. This is melancholy
picture to contemplate; neither candidate ia
better nor worse on account of his color; and
if either is able to buy his way to the Senate,
he is able by just so much to set back the
publication of American politics.

1t seems hardship that goods nfloat in
French vessels, Oct 80, 1872, intended for ex-
port into the United States, should be liable
for the levied discriminating duties exacted IN
the Presidents proclamation of that date.
But a moments reflection will show that the
responsibility is not on those whose business
it is to conStruc and execute the law. The
whole proceeding is regulated by the Act oil
1885, the law provides for the termination of
reciprocity when the nation with which we
have reciprocal relations shall elect; and the
President must at once pIomulgate that tact
so long az the law is on the statute book'
That goods at sea when this proclamation was
issued should be liable to advanced duties
seems a bard case; but it requires no strain
ing OF the law to make them so.

The letter Of our Berlin correspondent, pub

its final rejection by the Heuenhaus. If we

Government toward that body, we may have

Now trials have been practically ordered in
the eases of two noted criminals. Jacob
Rosenzweig and Clutch Heinrichs," alias
Newman. 1t is understood that these motions
are made on purely technical grounds; theo-

had fair trial on account of the non-obser-

such explanation as this will ever satisfy
public opinion, whatever may be the legal
requirements in the case.

position worthy of its place and name. The

The system of minority representa-.
ton has recently been subjected to a
practical test IN Illinois, by virtue OF
an amendment Of the constitution OF
the State, adopted in 1870. 1t is the
first instance in which it has been ap.
piled to 4 State, OF other large politi
cal community, though its working
in municipal corporations has proved
highly advantageous. BY the cumula,
tive vote, wherein three representatives
are to be elected, the weaker party may
concentrate the three votes, to which
its members are entitled, on a single
candidate, or divide them between two,
one and Il half to each. AS yet the
result in Illinois is not fully known,
out it is admitted by the journals Of
that State that the nominations arc
generally of Il better class than they
would have been if the system had not
been adopted, and that in several in,
stances minority candidates have been
selected in preference to the majority
nominees.
