Mr. Morton some time since made an
elaborate and logical speech on q matter
which can never be attended to moro
safely than now, viz, the imperfections
of our method Of electing President.
The present is especially favorable to
the solution Of tho question, because in
Arkansas and Louisiana wo have strik.
ing examples of the defects, from which
grave dangers might dow, ana because,
~ q matter of fact, the decision as to
these States cannot affect the choice of
President. No ono acquainted with the
subject will deny that the following un-
fortunate results are possible under our
present system: A President may be
elected by q majority Ct the people; an
may be thrown into the House
Of Representatives, and the choice of the
majority defeated by the action of ono
man; the decision as to one State may
produce differences only to DO settled by
civil war.

The two branches of the French Bur
bons have united their forces, in order
to present but one candidate for the
throne Of France in case the mon.rchy Be
restored. The Count Of Chambord is the
grandson o. Charles x, whom 1880, waa
driven from the throne and succeeded by
Louis Philip, of the younger, or Orleans,
branch. Louis Philip lett several sons.
His Oldest con was killed in ls3c, and
his children, the oldest Of whom is the
Count OF Pris, represent the succession
in the line of Orleans. The Count Of
Chambori is the sole representative Of
the elder family, and is now fifty yean
Of age and ehiidIcss. The prospeess Of
a monarchy are not so promising that
the family can AFFORD TO divide and
waste their strength BY . contest - TO
which Of the two lines should succeed.
They have therefore united, nAkias
Chambord thcir leader and ssPssssata-

A Baltimore special says Of the tenn.
pcT::nce address BY Vice President Col.
fax Sunday nigh The meeting was the
greatest in point of numbers and cntlu-
siasm ever held in this city. Judge
Daniels, the chairman of the meeting, in
introducing Mr.. Colfax, alluded to his
purity Of character and the failure OF
the attempt to connect him with the
Credit Mobilier, upon which there was
immense cheering. When Colfax CON-
mcnced speaking the applause was very
great. The greeting he had received, he
said, was gratifying, because it showed
that they believed that during his public
life that would close next month he had
sought to stand right in the sight of God,
whether the world judges him right or
not. Mr.. Colfax then went on to speak
OF the evils of intemperance and the
best method of temperance legislation.
Abiding to himself but once more, he
said: The world is SO full of human
trials, crime, sufferings, wars, disease,
breaking hearts, unjust aspersion, that
it is sometimes hard to bear unless the
ruined is conscious Of . refuge. Loud
applause.

sued by the cities Of Gregory, Claud and
Budlong, in Cherokee county, Kansas, to

and the bonds are evidently bogus in all
particulars. The names Of the cities
given are the names Of prominent citi-
zens of Carthage. Mo. There are two
sets of bonds for each city, bearing sew
en- per cent. interest and payable ut the
National Park Bank in New York.
One hunded OF the bonds, amounting t o
$50. 900, were registered Dec. 20, 1872,
the remainder were all registered Jan. 8,
