MINORITY REPRESENTATION IN PENN
HkLYANIA.

The Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention
has carried to third reading several sections
of the proposed new Constitution, in which
minority representation is embodied. There is
hardly doubt that the Convention will pass
them and that the people will have the oppor-
tunity of Incorporating them into the funda-
mental law. The sections upon which the
Convention has acted fayorably relate to the
election of Judges of the Supreme Court of
county commissioners and auditors, of in
spectors of election, of local magistrates in
Philadelphia, and Of directors in Incorporated
companies. The principle upon which the
election is to be conducted is the same in all
the sections-that of reserving one of every
group of two or three officers to be elected by
the minority.
The number Of the Judges of the Supreme
Court is to be increased to seven, which is
the number of the Judges Of the Court of
Appeals in New York. The two additional
Judges, and all Supreme Court Judges to be
chosen in future, will be elected for 81 years,
and will not be eligible for a second term.
Whenever two OF more of these judges are to
be chosen at the same election one will be
selected by the minority. When our new
Court of Appeals was chosen, in 1869, each
elector was permitted to vote for only five of
the seven judges. The public has had no
reason to be dissatisfied with the result of
that election.
Another section provides for the election of
three county auditors and three county COM
missioners, in each county having such
officers, to hold Office for three years, in the
election of whom each elector shall vote for
not more than two persons, the three persons
having the highest number of votes to be de-
clared elected. This is identical with the
plan already in use in Illinois for choosing
members of the Lower House of the Legis-
lature. 1t has the advantage of giving each
party q representation from all parts of the
State. In our own Legislature it often hap
pens that extensive areas in the central
and western parts of the State, en-
bracing many counties, are not represented in
either House by single Democrat, and in
1871, among tho 81 Assemblymen and Sena-
tors from the County of New-York, there was
not solitary Republican. In closely divided
counties and districts there would always be
sharp contest uuder the above system for tho

FREEDOM or THE PRESS IN NEW-OR-
LEANS.

The duel which took its origin recently in
the LIBEL suit of Judge Hawkins against The
Ne,c- Orleans Picdyune has diverted public
attention from the character of that extra
ordinary case to the tragedy which resulted
from it. We beg our readers, however, to
look closely at the story of this prosecution,
for it illustrates the shocking condition of
affairs in Louisiana, and suggests the inquiry
whether under the administration of Mr.. Kel-
logg even a free press will long be suffered
to exist in that sadly misgoverned State.
Jacob Hawkins, the plaintiff in the case, is
well known here by name as a member Of
the Lynch Returning Board, which counted
Mr.. Kellogg into Office, and, with the assist
ance of Marshal Packard and the United
States Army, set up Legislature and full
complement of State officers who had been
unduestiOnably defeated at the election. To
reward Mr.. Hawkins for his services, the
Legislature thus illegally created abolished
two of the New-0reans Courts and set up
another, called the Superior District Court,
of which Mr.. Hawkins was appointed Judge
He held his commission from Mr.. Pinchback,
whom the same fictitious Legislature had
made fictitious Governor, by impeacbing
Gov. Warmoth Thus Hawkins and his assO-
ciatcs made a bogus Legislature; the bogus
Legislature made a bogus Governor and a
bogus Court and the bogus Governor ap-
pointed Hawkins bogus Judge, so that every
thing was made pleasant all around. The case
was investigated by Committee of the United
States Senate and the majority, consisting Of
warm friends of the Administration, reported
to the Senate that Mr.. Hawkins and his COM
panions had been guilty of an outrageous
fraud. "There is nothing" said Senator Car
penter, speaking for the Committee, g in all
the comedy of blunders and frauds under
consideration more indefensible than the
pretended canvass Of this Board. No
"person can examine the testimony ever so
cursorily without seeing that this pretended
canvass had no semblance of integrity" Not
only was the Board an illegal body, but it
had absolutely no returns to canvass and it
is proved that the results at which it pretended
TO arrive were reached merely by guessing.
When the report of the Senate Committee
reached New-Orleans, The Pcayune Of that
city, in an editorial review of the case, charged
Judge Hawkins with "per6dy and perjury as

third official, and the best man would probably
be chosen. In word, the plan proposed has
many advantages over the common mode of
election. and no disadvantages that we are
aware of. It will not enable the public to
gather grapes of thorns or figs OF thistles, nor
do we know of any system of government by
which that can be accomplished.
A third improvement is in the method of
selecting inspectors Of election. The COnyen-
ton proposes to give to each party the choice
of one inspector for every election district
Here of course q nomination would be equiv
alent to an election, and honest men have no
other resource but to exert themselves to Sc
cure the nomination of proper persons Inc
VIGOROUSLY dishonest elections IN Philadelphia
last October and November were conducted
by inspectors appointed by the Board Oh Al
dermen under law passed in 1869. The Phii-
adelphia Aldermen are local magistrates. Inc
Convention proposes to abolish them anu I'd
elect local magistrates to the number OF one
to each 10000 inhabitants, on general ticket
no voter having the privilege OF naming on
his ballot more than two -thirds OF the whole
number to be chosen. A similar arrangement
is proposed for the choice of the managers OF
corporations by the stockholders. Our own
Legislature few months ago adopted with
little or no opposition a similar arrangement
to secure minority representation in the Board
of Aldermen of this city. We look upon that
section of the new city Charter as an indlca-
ton that the people are favorably disposed TO
a more equal and more fairly distributed rep
resentation. Minority representation can GER
tainy no longer be looked on as an experiment
having been tried with the best results IN the
election last November in Illinois, as wen as
in the election of members OF Parliament
in some of the great cities of England
and in many other States and countries
Even if it were a new and untrled thing we
know of no State where an experiment Would
be more likely to do good than in PennSyl-
vania. We do not mean to disparage the gen
eral honesty and good sense of the people OF
that State, but we do think that it is time for
the law-abIding and God-fearing population
TO show their power there. They will never
have better opportunity than when the work
of their Constitutional Convention is submitted
TO them for adoption or rejection

MARRYING A TTTLB,

A cable dispatch has informed our readers
that NJ. de Brimont has obtained verdicts IN
the French courts in his suits against the pro-
prietors of two American newspapers, amount
ing in the aggregate to some two thousand
dollars. A small fine was also imposed upon
both these journals. The Oflense which has been
thus visited was the publication Of the report of
the suit brought by NJ. de BrimOnt against the
family of his late wife, to compel them to
support him. AS the scandal of these libel
suits rather adds to the disagreeable notoriety
which this young gentleman had already at
tanned before the public of New York and Paris,
it is fair to conclude that he brought them
for the money he might gain from them; and
as legal proceedings are not so expensive in
France as they are here, he probably considers
the balance which will be left after fleeing his
lawyers a sufficient compensation for the ad-
ditional stains which have thus been inflicted
upon an already variegated character. Two
thousand dollars Is not very large sum to
sell character for, but to a young French
nobleman Of narrow resources and expensive
habits it is better than nothing. lie was con-
sidered, several years ago, to have made for
tunate marriage, and in spite of certain un-
toward circumstances he still works it with
great energy and reasonable success.
The story is one which has always been
touched upon with delicacy, out of respect TO
the feelings of an honorable family deeply
outraged. A young and lovely American lady
whose parents resided in Paris, met in the
gay world of that city this de Brimont. He
had the entree to what was called the best
society, the manners and appearance Of a
gentleman, an aristocratic name, some debts,
no money and few scruples. He married, as
most men of his class do, for maintenance
He had no idea of any such thing as mutual
obligations. His duty was fulfilled in the be-
stownent of his name. He went on in his
usual course of life, robbing and maltreating
his young wife until she died, her death
fastened if not absolutely caused by his un-
worthy conduct Do BTippaL dndipg bis

Agricultural prospects, according to sum
mary published on another page OF The
TRIBUNE, are not altogether tlattering Still,
the reports vary with different localities, and,
by a law of compensation, what is lost in some
regions of the country may be made up In
others. 1t looks as though an average grain
crop might after all be expected, taking wheat
and corn as the staple grains. The prospects
of the florists, fruit-grOwers, and dairymen are,
however, the most dscOuraging. Their hopes
have been blghted by the long-cOntinued
drouth But we must wait for reports which
may show some improvement of the hay crop
since the heavy rains which have just followed
the severe dry spell. The storm of the 2d,
Sd, and 4th of this month seems to
have been one most widely extended of the
season, Beginning as far west as the western
boundary of Missouri, we hear of its passage
through Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Kentucky, and Minnesota. New-IOrk and
Pennsylvania were apparently exempt from
the destruction wrought by the storm, though
it passed over into New-England, and on the
Fourth, when it was at its hight, much dam
age was wrought. In various parts of the
country there were losses of life and property
from the effects of lightning, wind, and rain.
That some loss has been entalled on the I'M
gathered crops is quite likely; we may also
hope that some good may have come with
the great showers that have fallen on the
thirsty Garth
