New-York tribune., 1873-06-17

tenn of elections that leaves the whole country
dependent upon outposts so easy to be knocked
over and captured singly-is a weakness de-
mandng immediate attention. ASIDE from this
it is notorious that i'll all the States referred
to, the worst and most incompetent men were
put in nomination, and decent people or either
party almost driven to their support by the
argument that the Presidency itself was
involved in local success or defeat 30
rogues and scoundres hOated into once
and all sorts of cheating and corruption were
resOrted to- This was especially true or fcnn-
syvania in which the October result was hclu
to be conclusive as to the result in November IN
the whole country. There the frauds were so
audacous and 80 extensive that the respect
able portion of the party that protited by
them were shocked and outraged. There Is
no partisan politician 80 brazen, no organ 80
shameless as to deny the extent and audaclty
of these crimes, and yet the only person con-
victed of fraud was pardoned in o fortnight
by President Grant.
We mention these facts simply to show the
alarming possibilities which the system OF
State elections opens, or might open. to Dad
men in power. The remedy proposed by Mr.
Bddle is to make all elective officers hold for
terms that will expire in years in which
there are no Federal elections. For instance
he would have the Governors term last either
two or four years, that of the State Senator four
and that of the State Representative two. In
such a case the Governor, half tho Senators,
and all of the Representatives might be- elected
one year after tho election Of the President
(Which time would also bo year distant from
any Congressional election); the other
half Of the Senators the Governor il
his term were to last but two
years. and a new House of Repre-.
sentatives being chosen two years afterward,
at the end of the third year of the Presidents
term. This perhaps would be as good plan
as any. 1t is easy enough to devise remedy,
and simple one, if the Convention correctly
apprehendI the evils and the possible perlls
of the present system. To make it complete,
it will be necessary, OF course, for North Caro-
lima, Maine and tho States which now elect
in October and November, TO make similar
changes, so as to isolate in a measure the
Presidential election from all connection with
or dependence upon local and State elections
But Pennsylvania may very properly lead the
way, and it is to be hoped she will.

Mr.. William Marshall in the Committee of
One Hundred, last night, in speaking of Bridge
matters, made an interesting revelation OF the
proceedings Of the Executive Committee OF
the Bridge Board, which will be news to the
greater portion of Brooklyn people, as well as
to ourselves. He stated that it was through
the efforts of that Executive Committee that
Mr.. Kingsley was defeated in the effort which
he made to get S42 square yard for the
contract for laying the stOno on the
Brooklyn Bridge. This information Is
not only news, but good news for the
people of Brooklyn; for it would like to have
greater confidence in the men whom Mr.. Mar
shall named as members of that Executive
Committee. But it should be remembered that
if The TRIBUNE made an error in stating this
it was because no knowledge of the operations
of that Board has been made public. 1t has
generally been considered that it was due to
the exposures of the Committee of Fifty that the
outrage, which would have put million OF
dollars of the public money in Mr.. Kingsey's
hands for division with his confederatcs, was
never perpetrated.
New-York tribune., 1873-06-17

Willful attempts to throw railway trains
from track are usually supposed to be part
of plan of robbery. The rascals who at
tempted to throw a train off the rails Of the
Worcester and Norwich Railroad, near Days
vile, on Sunday morning, chose village for
the scene of their operations. 1t is difficult to
understand how such horrible deed could be
deliberately planned for any purpose; but as
three men have been arrested for the crime
referred TO, we may find out something Of the
motives Of this peculiar variety of desperado.
II is too early TO comment on the report of
The POlaris expedition, as it is to be strained
through the Navy Department. But so much
information as has been allowed TO leak out
makes an unpleasant and thoroughly discour-
aging impression. There was no open Polar
Sea observed, nor anything that looked like
il Capt. BuddingtOn was "the black sheep"
of the party, quarrelsome, incorporate, and
selfish. This, at least, is the conclusion at
which the Secretary of the Navy is reported
TO arrive. To-day, it ID promised, the public
will have the official summary, and the evil
dence in full will be administered as soon as
it is thought the world can bear 1t.
The theory Of crime-cycles, of which we oc-
casionally hear some mention, may be strength
ened by the occurrences of the past few days.
Within asho1t space of time, nearly twenty mur-
ders, some of them Of the most revolving charac-
ter, have been reported from various parts OF
the country. Near Belfast, Maine, three per-
sons have been slain, it is suspected, by a
brother Of one Of the victims O woman in
H. oh
she had intended for her son, cOnfesses to
having poisoned six people; and in this city
two atrocious murders were committed on
Sunday night; and probable homicide is
also reported This catalogue of bloody deeds
may be longer than usual because the events
have "happened" to occur at the same time

REDUCTION OF LABOR IN PHILADELPHIA
Quite a number of the large manufacturing
establishments 10 Philadelphia are DOW running
on half time Among the number are MessrS
Porter & Dckey, employing three hundred
hands; Irwin & Stinson, aud James Noiin 5
Star Mills, four hundred hands. The mills OF
James Long, Brother & Co.. have SUSPENDED
operations Temporarily and Martin Landenberg-
cr's knitting mills have also suspended. \
large reduction has been made in the number
of hands in the various manufactures. The
cause of the reduction is the couutermaDdng
of orders by the customers. At the Baldwin
Locomotive Works curtailment has been 60
ing on since the panic commenced. Last Sat
nrdav night there were between five and six
hundred hands discharged. There are two
thousand men still employed. The railroads
are also decreasing the working expenses OF
their roads, thus lessening the demand for To-
comotiyes and other rolling stock,
A HUMPING SPEAKER Henry Ward
Beecher's gesticulation is as vigorous as his
language, and forcible illustration OF this was
rendered during bis address before the Evan
gelical Alliance at New York, on Wednesday:
The collapse Of. the pulpit in Rev. DR.. Adams
church was only prevented by the removal OF
the Bible upon which Mr.. Beecher was ylgor-
ously hammeriog, and that the removal was
made none too soon, was shown by the fact
tina: under this sledge- hammer blows, one
bracket of the pulpit had already given way
and fallen, the cushion was slowly settling, aud
a few more thumps would have brought the
whole concern, Bible, desk and all, upon the
heads of the French delegation who were sit
ting Just below it. The Frenchmen would
hardly have enjoyed SO torcitle an illustration
as that OF Mr.. Bcecher vigorous pulpit oratory.
