The Electoral College.

Mr.. Morton to-day made the speech
which has been expected for some time on
the method by which we elect Presidents.
Mr.. Morton advocates the principle of the
people voting directly for President, and
the abolition of the Electoral College.
Arkansas and Louisiana admOnish the
country that possible grave troubles may
grow out OF, the present system unless
some change is made, or at least some pro-
vision fordetermining contests between two
or more Boards of Electors claiming to be
chosen, by any, State. Mr. Morton s
speech, which, was about an hour long,
was learned and highly interesting. 1t is
quite uncertain that Congress will act on
the subject this winter, though if an
amendment of the Constitution is to he
proposed to the country, there can be but
little delay if three-fourths of the States
are to act upon it in time to have it take
effect in the next election for President

The New York Times states that it is
now satisfactorily settled that the ad-
vance, i'll the price of leather will be
maintained, and that the prices of heavy
goods made from leather will be especially
affected, such as boots, brogans and the
coarser kind of shoes, while it does not
materially affect lasting shoes, nor kid

rily sympathize with others in measure.
Manufacturers, we are told, are now OBJ

made for the spring trade. What this will
be when the goods reach the consumer, il
is difficult to say, as there are several hands
through which they have to pass, and each

safe to say that the consumer will be
obliged to pay at least 20 per cent. higher
