Election of President.

The agitation on the subject Of a
change III the Constitution with regard
to the manner Of electing the President
and Vice President of the United
States, which has been going on for
some time past, will probably take
definite shape next winter upon the
meeting of Congress. The Senate
Committe on privileges and Elections,
at meeting in New York on the first
of the month, although announcing no
definite conclusion, the majority of
opinion favored proposition embrac-
ing the following features:
First, The abolishment of the
Electoral College.
Second, That the President and
Vice President be elected by the di-
rect vote Of the people.
Third, That each State shall be
divided into as many Districts as the
State is entitled to representatives in
Congress, to be composed ofcontiguous
territory, compact in form, and nearly
equal in population as may be. and
the person having the highest number
of votes for President in each District
shall receive the vote Of that District
for President. which shall amount to
one Presidential vote. That each
State shall be entitled to two Presi-
Dental votes at large, which shall be
counted for the person having the
highest number Of votes in the whole
State.
Fourth, That the person having
tie highest number of such Presiden-
tial votes in the United States shall be
the President.
Fifth. These provisions are to be
to the election Of Vice Pres
ident.
Sixth, Congress shall have power
to provide for holding and conducting
such elections for President and Vice
President, and to establish tribunals
for the decision Of any contest as t.

It may sound rather odd. but It is
nevertheless true, Epghhdinow Comes
to the UnitedStates fof her beef. and
English stock raisers ara importing
from Aneriet blood cattle to better
aud improve English herds. 1t viii
be remembered that 4 few weeks since
we gave an accoriat ofa large sale Of
blood stock that occurred at York
/ Mills, 0neida'county, N. Y.--the most
famous safe that ever transpireain the
world. On the occasion referred to,
one hundred and fifteen head Of
Durham cattle brought the fabulous
sum OF three hundrvll and eighty
thousand dollars A seven-inontlls
calf sold fer S27, 900, and i COW, thc
l"Ducness Of Oneida, was The subject
of lively competition, the successful
bidder giving $4,000 for her. The
cattle were owned and raised by SAM
uel Campbell. The principal buyers
were from England, and nearly all
the stock was taken back to the herds
in England. whence most of the blood
was originally imported. The impor-
tation Of beef cattle from the United
States to England by English butchers
has been commenced the present sea
son, and from present indications is
likely to prove a grand success. A
beef steer in good condition in the
voyage between New York and Lon
don, it is said, loses about fifty pounds
in weight, whiehis more than made
up by few weeks grazing on the |
rich pastures OF England. The Anchor
line has about thirty-five yesselsaveIlg-
ing probably one day, and each
steamer takes twenty-five head. This
is a starter, and as the English admit
the superior quality of American beet,
the trade viii certainly increase and
grow with each recurring year. Thus
each year opens up new branches of
trade, increasing and swelling our
receipts Of gold from foreign marts,
while we are rapidly becoming less
and less dependent upon them for the
luxuries or necessaries of life.

4 Resura % spreae Payments.

esss. ~ 49, s
An ear return 70 specie payments
is not pnly practicable but probable.
Ills patent to those who have given
the subject momcnt's attention, that
for years past our exports have been
gradually but surely increasing, while
our imports have beer decreasing in
the sme mtio. As the importation
Of foreign products hmsdecreased, the
drain Of gold to foreign countries has
been less, until now the tide has, fairly
| turned, and to-day, instead ofsexport-
ing large sums in gold to foreign coun-
| tries 10 balance our account, we are
importing gold in Immense sums. the
balance oftrade being IN favor of the
United States. In other words, we
sell nauy millions of dollars worth
annually TO foreign countries more
than we buv And 1t is evident that
this will coni;une to be the case, in
fact growing More and more in our.
favor from year to year, when the
value oiour exports are known. Com
petent authorities estimate that, dur,
ing the pr,ent season, the United
States win export three million bales
Of cotton, at least fifty million bushels
of wheat, two hundred million gallons
OF petroleum, five hundred million
pounds OF provisions. and two hundred
and fifty million pounds of tobacco,
the total, deducting costs and charges,
aggregating in value $3.50. OO00oO when
sold in foreign countries. Added to
this amount, other exports will make
a grand total of over 100000, 900 in
the worlds markets for the current
year. This is simply the surplus pro
duets OF our soil for one season-anl |
every recurring year will witness an
increase Of this vast export value,
while our imports will just as surely |
and certainly decrease. This great |
margin or balance in our favor must |
be settled in gold, which will be am
ply sufficient to send currency up to
par, when, if thought necessary, specie
can be resumed.
