REFORM in Eiecting President.

The United States Senate Committee
on Elections respecting reforms in the
mode OF choosing President and Vice
President is now in session in New
York city. The Evening Post says;
They have taken no action yet by
which we can Judge their sentiment
but it seems to be taken for granted
that the most important proposition
that which gives direct popular vote
for President and Vice President with
out the intermediate machinery OF the
electoral eollege--is out OF the ques'
ton. The smaller States would not
consent to give up their influence IN The
electoral college, and without their
consent two-thirds vote OF Congress
could not be obtained for constitution
al amendment. 1t is probable, there
fore, that the work Of the committee
will finally resolve itself into
an effort to reform the mere
details OF the present system.
For example, it is important that some
court OF appeal should be established to
decide the claims OF contesting electors,
as in Louisiana last year; that some
provision should be made to set aside,
in cases Of death or accident, the rigid
rule requiring the electoral votes to be
deposited on one day, which might now
dsfranchise State, and that other
measures of similar character should
be adopted to insure the electoral sys-
tenn against which it is clearly open,
The Senate committee is composed OF
representative politicians such as An
thony, Morton, Boutwell,, Bayard
Logan, and Hill-men who know thor
oughly the workings of our politlca
system-and they ought to be able tt
give us some valuable suggestions, anc
possibly offer plan that will more
nearly approach popular suffrage.
Cumulative voting is worthy OF then
consideration as an element OF electora

suffering and general condition OF the
people in that ill>iated place are truly
heartrending. The fever he thinks Is

utterly consumed, Mr.. Adams says
that afout 1000 LETT the city in the first
stages OF the epidemic, only about $500
remaining behind after the disease
commenced. He attributes the NOR
tally among the people to their igno-
rance OF the proper mode OF treatment.
He says the great Difficulty experienced
is in obtaining supplies Of food from
the country and the desti among
the poor is pitiable. A dispatch re-
ceived from Shreveport, dated this
morning says there had been thirteen
interments during the preceding TWEEN
tysfour hours.

CINCINNATI.
FInanc cfal.

CINCINNATI, October 9.-The Clear.
ing House Association held q secret
meeting this evening, in which the sit
uatiou was freely discussed and the
pospects for the future fully discussed.
After an animated debate it was deci-
ded to hold fifty thousand dollars oi
Clesriug.Houss loan certificates and
to recall the four hundred and fifty
thousard in certificates now in circula-
ton as rapidly as possible. This is
regarded by them as the first step to-
ward resumption. Deposits were made
to-day quite freely. and altogether the
situation tonight looks more eucour-
aging than at any time since the crash.
Not q single manufacturing establish
ment OF any kind has suspended. al
though some Of the smaller ones have
had to place their men on short time
or delayed their payment. Public con-
fidsnce is almost restored, and this
week will undoubtedly see the end OF
the financial panic in Cincinnati.

In the city to-day is the first day
that carts and laborers have
been employed to clean the infected
districts. Tomorrow, lime will be
scattered, through all the streets and
alleys in thstlocalIty. 1t is most like
ly that the death list tomorrow and
next day will be somewhat larger than
to-day's as those taken i'll just previous
to the frost of Monday and Tuesday
nights are now reported dying, and the
warm weather Of the past two days
will increase new cases. The entire
northern part of the city is shrouded in
darkness tonight with the exception OF
the street lamps, and the houses on
Front, Main and the cross streets, in
which are the dead and dying, and
from Chelsea to Washington street.
On Main there was not. after dark, q
dozen business places, including saloons,

weeks to come. Some, however,
are now afraid to 60 az

All the proprieto!s in the country,
both east and west, having decided to
make a reduction of from ten to fifteen
per cent. on the prices paid the
tonnage" men, the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company have given notice
that the rates paid tonnage men, and
wages Of all other employees Of the
rolling mills in this city who have been
receiving sl.75 and over per day, will
be reduced ten per cent, to take effect
from date.
As the rates have been reduced If
teen per cent. at other large works in

Of conmendstion. .-Ctm5Hland NsEs.

II 1869 two private Individuals Of
Harrisburg conceived the idea ofstock-
ing the Susquehsnna river with black
bass rom the Potomac. About 500
was collected for the purchase Of the
fish, and about 200 black bass were
procured from the Potomac by way OF
Hagerstown and were placed in the
Susquehanua in the neighborhood OF
Harrisburg and Dauphin-since that
period this splendid fish has increased
wonderfully in the river all about Har.
risburg, and they are caught everywhere
in great numbers. LAST week 100 were
landed near Harrisburg by young
man in q few days, during leave OF
absence from his work. The average
weight of the fish now caught is from
one to three and four pounds. The
stocking ofthe Susquebanna with black
bass has been due solely to private en-
terprise, the State authorities hsvins
done nothing towards securing this re,
suit.
