FyTIRE LEGIsIATIOS,

During the recess Of Congress several COM
mittces Of the Senate will hold sessions aud
visit various portions Of the country to gather
information on certain specified questions
With Il view to legislative action thereon next
winter. Ono Of these committees is charged
With an inquiry into "tho lost and most prac-
llcablc mode Of clectlug tho President aud
Vice President, aud providing q tribunal TO
adjust Gnd decide all contested questions con-
uectcd Herewith" Mr.. Morton, 1t will be re-
collected, made an able speech upon this qucs-
ton during the last session which attracted
the attention Of the whole county, con-
talulpg, as II did, a complete summary Of the
evils and objections to the present culnbrous
aud inefficient plan. The result Of the last
election, or rather tho death Of one Of the
candidates, strilIiDgly showed how easily the
expressed will Of the people might be de-
feated, and the dangers with which the sys-
ten is attended. The intentions Of the
fathers Of the republic were all well enough,
but II Is well known that we lost their spirit
long ago, and, having lost II, that the ad-
herence to the mere form Of their ideas In
the matter referred to Is attended with eI-
trcme peril. The intention OF the trainers Of
the Constitution in instituting the electoral
college was to call into existence body Of
men who should elect u President and Vice
President as Congress enacts law. They
were to be left entirely untrammeled and free
10 select whom they pleased. The Constitu-
tlon vests the power Of their election not in
the people, but In the State Legislatures, and
II was exercised by nearly all Of them In the
earlier Presidential elections. As late as
1874 electors were chosen In this way In the
States OF Delaware, Georgia, South Carolina,
Louisiana, New York and Vermont, and In
South Carolina TO the outbreak Of the war.
All these States have, however, remanded
the question to the people, but II Is in their
power 10 revoke II ut any time-at least, they
have the constitutional right to do so. That
they could do II is Of course out VI the question
The fact Is, We arc much nearer q pure re-
now than our fathers were In
Inc beginning Of the Government. The free
lom OF tho people is becoming every year
more enlarged. They are demanding more
power; depending less upon Legislatures and
Congresses and more upon themselves. The
Declaration Of Independence Is magnificent
hing upon paper, but In the light OF these
Ater years the student Of government and OF
polltics cLnnct but see In II q good deal OF
lumbug. The gentleISa who framed itwere

At this very critical period Ia the history
Of the new Spanish republic everything re-
lating to Cuba's condition Is Of some I'M
portancc, for no one knows the day nor tho
hour when wonderful change may come
over the spirit Of the political nightmare
which has held her In such dread bongago
for SO long time. 4 special telegram from
Havana, under date Of the LIST instant, brings
a report at that time current In the city to
the effect that General Portllla had been
made prisoner by the insurgents whose
cause was still making progress against
Spanish rule. The hopes Of tho revolution
Ists had been strengthened by increased de-
scrtions from the Spanish ranks and the
abandonment Of two positions. There existed
really painful tribulatlons In the Interior
caused by the high price Of beef, brought
about by combination Of the butchers and
slaughtcrers. There was disposition on the
part Of the people to unite against this meas.
ure Of the capitalists and compel them by
force TO reduce the tariff Of the market. The
project Of the now twonty-mlllion loan finds
favor In the eyes Of the influential class. This,
In brief, is the latest from Cuba, aud 50 en-.
couraging Is II that few moro budgets oi
like character will do her cause "a heap o

IT WOULD BE BAD THING for Spain, In
her new start Of republicanism, II CASTELAR,,
her greatest orator and noblest stAtesman,
should resign, as he threatens to do unless
Ills associates Of the Spanish ministry adopt
more decisive and energetic policy. To the
cloquencc Of CASTELAR,, as much as TO the
combined efforts Of his republican colleagues,
10 spaln's promising position Of to-day
due, There Is an almost indcscribable
something about leader like him which
does much for u young government by no
means clear Of Its struggle for cxistence-a
something which attaches to the name Of a
great general, famous by reason Of the VIC
tories he has achieved and the popularity
that followed us their consequence. Spain
eau III afford 10 lose CASTELAR, at this preca-
rlUus iuncturc, aud Americans, for her sake,
hope there Is too much good sense amoug
her leaders to allow such loss TO occur.

THE New York Herald takes surh trining
affairs as millions Of dollars very coOlly, as
witness the following Some three million
dollars have boon expended on our new State
capitol, and from hye to seven millions more
will be needed to finish Il. This will make
the structure nearly equal to the National
Capitol-in tho cost-and that will be some
thing" Should the State, by some uuiore-
seen circumstance, return TO Democratic
rule, and should that rule bloom into another
Tammany ring, the money squaudered on
the capitol building will only be "marker, "
as the boys would say, to the amount voted
away inside Of 1t. The New Workers at the
last election showed their appreciation Of that
