The Senate Committee on Privi-
lcges and Elections, of which Senator
Morton is Chairman, will meet in this
city next October, for the purpose of
considering the important question of
amending the Constitution of the
United States SO far as relates to the
method OF electing the President aud
Vice President of the United States
The committee will add.ess letters to
the leading jnrisis and puhicists and
other competent persons III the Onltcd
States. asking their views on the sub
ject and announcing their wish to re-.
ceiye suggestions. 1t viii be remem.
bercd that Senator Morton has al
ready taken prominent part in
bringing this important subject to the
conside ration of Congress. The eX.
perieuce of the late Presideutial elect
ton has demonstrated the necessity Of
some change. The death of Mr.. Gree
ley before the counting Of the elector-
al vote gave practical illustration OF
one very defective feature of the pres
ent system. Had MIR. Greeley been
elected, and died, the case would have
been worse. There is also desire to
make the mode Of election more popu-

but without success until night had

that ne was foullv dealt with, struck
on the head with some bludgeon that
inflicted painful wound and caused

that he tainted fell upon some rocks

There is much excitement in business circles
at Atlanta in consequence of the sudden depAr-
ture Of Mr. OhaFles II. Platt, clerk OF Plat &
Co. On making inquiry - TO the cause of his
sudden diHappserance, we find that he owed
many debts in the city which he was unable 10
meet, and that there were three warrants cat
for his arrest for obtaining goods on false pre-
tences. He took some jewelry belonging to his
wife. who was confined to q sick bed, from child
birth, and pawned them. Much telegrsphing
has been done, and detectives are at work, but
up to the time OF writing the only reliable infor-
nation gained regarding his movements is that
he left town on Saturday night. The family
connections Of this young man are unexception-
able, being recognized all over the state Of
Georgia, Cat Augusta, Cuthbert, and many other
places) as men of ample means and fine business
integrity and ability. Charley is the first one
who ever went wrong. When Charley Plat was
quite young he went to Europe and became ena-
mored of young European lady Of great beauty,
and was about to marry her, when she suddenly
died. Overcome with grief, he travelled all over
the Continent, layishing money and plunging
into all sorts of dissipation to drown his SORROW
He failed, however, and after six years returned
TO America with heavy heart. While strolling
down a street in New York he saw young girl,
In whose face, features and expression, he saw
duplicated, or rather intensified, the loveliness
and beauty OF his deceased betrothed. He made
her acquaintance at once. He found she was a
poor sewing girl, and pressed his suit with such
vgor that she shortly yielded to his plea. and
became bis wife. They have lived in perfect
harmony and happiness, having beautiful girl
born unto them, aud another baby now only a
few days old. The above story we have from a
reliable source as the truth. We hear that the
Platt family will take care of this lady and her
children as long as they may live, or need help
or protection. This ia certainly noble and COM
mendable.- atlanta (Gd.) Herald, 26h.

THE WESTERN NEw.YoRK PICNIC,

The Third Assistant Postmaster General, at
Washington, received letter on Wednesday.
which he was obliged to spend good deal Of
his precious official time in reading. 1t was from
& lady in Western New York. and there were
four pages Of the letter. with two pages of post
script. This lady had grievance the full pa.-
ticulars of which she related at some length, but
which we must more briefly describe She stated
that some time since she began making prepar-
ations for a grand invitation picnic, parentheti-
cally remarking that her pic-nics are always a
great success, and that having arranged prem-
inaries, such as hiring the grounds, music etc
she sent out several hundred invitations to ladies
and gentlemen in the town where she resides
The day for the picnic rolled around, and to her
great amazement and chagrin, none of the in
uted guests put in an appearance. The i've in
the lemonade melted, the ice-cream softened !;
the butter In the sandwiches oozed out along
the edges every preparation, 80 careful made,
became dilapidated. Nobody came to the pic
mic.
1t needs not to be said-except to preserve
the continuity OF the story-that this lady of
Western New York was now very indignant. She
felt that when she invited large number OF
persons 10 picnic, and every one of them
stayed away, that she was not being treated with
that courtesy which is common among the most
enlightened nations in modern times She there
fore sought an explanation from some Of the
persons to whom she had addressed invitations,
and was astonished to learn that they had never
received her rose-tinted mssives. Very much
puzzled and very much provoked, she wended
her way to the post office in the town and there
learned to her disgust that the postmaster had
forwarded every one of her invitations to the
dead letter otdce in Washington because the
postage had not been fully paid by her. 1t
seems that every invitation bore one instead
OF two cent stamp as required by law.
This explains the reason why the lady from
Western New York wrote to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General, though it does not explain
why we have yet had no telegraphic advices of
serious accident to Postmaster in that Sec
tion Of the country.

TIE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.

Although the Virginia Democratic papers con
fdently prophecy that he will fall short about
10000 votes, it is evident that the Republican
nominee for Governor, Col. Hughes, is formida-
BILE candidate, and that in truth the certainty of
his defeat is by no means positive. COL Hughes
is native virginian, born in Powhatan county.
His mother was a Morton, connected with some
of the " best families of the Old Dominion, in
Guiding the Daniels, the Mosbys, the Watkinses,
and othera, while his grandfather was Captain
in the Revolution, and his father an officer in
the War OF 1912 He was left an orphan, and
poor, secured his education by his own efforts,
studied law in 1914, and before the Rebellion,
bad been by turns, lawyer, editor, and farmer,
performing the duties Of each occupation with
great ability. During the Rebellion, he edited
the Examiner, in Richmond, and at the close of
the War, was among the first to yield an unre-
served and sincere allegiance to the Union He
has since been one of the leaders of the Virgin
ia Republicans, and in 1871, he was appointed u
S. District Attorney for the Western District of
Virginia.
AS we have already indicated, Col. Hughes has
prestige and popularity. He is force, and bis
opponents feel his strength, and recognize the
certainty that he will be hard to beat. They say
that but one man can defeat him - General
Kemper, one of the bravest OF Yirginia's rebel
officers - and We doubt very greatly whether
General Kemper can do it.
The candidate for Lieutenant Governor, G. p.
RamsdelL is from New York, originally, and
until about three years ago, resided at Wyoming,
in Kent county, this State. He distinguished
himself in that community, as a man of much
energy and enterprise, and gave the settlement
at Wyoming strong push forward by building
houses, establishing manufactures, &c. During
his residence, here, he was strong Republican,
and since his removal to alarge plantation on the
James River, in surry county, Virginia. he has
taken an active part in politics. there. He ap
pears to be popular man in his section of the
State, and he adds, no doubt, strength to the
ticket.
Altogether, we look forward to hard fought
battle in Virginia, with good prospects for Re-
publican success.

FIERCE DENUNcIATIoS OF FEMALE SLAVERY IN
CALIFORNIA.
The Los Angeles Goa. Express says:
Our State is disgraced and outraged by tho
vile system OF female slavery which is tolerated
among the Chinese people in our midst. We all
know, positively, that with very rare exceptions
every woman they bring here is held aas piece
OF property. They are much the objects Of
barter and sale among their class as are horses
ana cattle among our own people. Whenever
one OF their women gets so conscious of her own
terrible degradation as try to escape from a BON
dage which is Viler than that of any slavery ever
known to civilized people, the machinery OF our
courts ls successfully invoked to return them to
Their rufanly masters We say this thing must
be stopped. 1t Is not necessary to invoke legis :
latlon to do this. Our laws are good enough as
they are and when they are perverted by those
VINO should properly administer them, or when
the mere letter is taken advantage OF as a shield
10 cover an outrage the people whose majesty
Is thus offended should apply corrective. No
magistrate OF original jurisdiction is called unnn
by his position to issue warrant which he knoWs
ls based upon fraudulent intention. 1t ia bis
duty to refuse to grant warrant in every case
OF the kind. s"''
