NEW YORK, October 9.-At 10 O'Clock tbs

the members of the common Council on hoard

the invitation rendered them.
UPON THE MEETING OF THE FIRST SECTION

the general secretary, gave the following no.
tice: On Sunday evening there will be a meet
ing at the Academy of NJ usie, at which Rev. DR..
Schenck, of Brooklyn, will deliver farewell
address, and replies will be made by the respec
tive delegations from abroad. The same even

ference is to be published. Tn ere will be

church. Finally the delegates were informed
that their return tickets were ready for them al
the various Offices down town,
THE FIRST PAPER READ This MORNING
was on the church OF Tie nation, by Rev. W. H
Freemantle, of London. He favored the prin-
ciple that in christian nations the church and
the state are Identical, and there can be no al
lance between them, for they are not indie
pendent powers. He believed that in future
the pulpit will speak more of civil government
and law aud legislatures will feel more the in
fuence of reliOion. The judges and magistrates
are the true elders Of this dnv. - ,,. sc-,r-
ture the authority Of the ruler is more insisted
upon than that ef the teacher as come from

THR STRUGGLE IN FRANCE.-A meeting of
the members of the extreme left OF the French
national assembly was held in Paris yesterday
Among those present were NM. Gambetta
Crement and Challemel Lacour. A number of
letters from various provinces were read, ex-
pressing strong aversion to the establishment OF
a monarchy, which ave sion is daily increaslnT.
Gambetta declared that he felt not the least
anxiety concerning the permanency of the re-
pubic. He was certain the proposition to es-
tatlish a monarchy could not obtain a vote of n
majority Of the assembly. A Paris telegram to
the London Times stat IS that Theirs intends to
publicly advocate the prolongaton of the term
OF Mcmahon as President, thus deprving the
monarchists of the support of the left center.
and probably precipitating the dissolution of
the monarchical coalition

Proposed Election of President aud
Vice President by q Direct Vote OF
the ReOnie.

The following propositions were considered at
the session of the Senate committee on priyi-
leges and elections held in New York yester
day: First To abolish electoral colleges. Sec
ond. That the President and Vice President
shall be elected by the people voting directly
for the candidates. Third. That each state
shall be divided into as many districts as the
state Is entitled to Representatives in Congress,
to be composed of contiguous territory, compact
in form and as nearly equal in population as
may he, and the person having the highest
number of votes for President In each district
shall receive the vote OF that district for Presi
dent, which shall count one Presidential vote;
that each state shall be entitled to two Presi-
Dental votes at large, which shall be counted
tor the person having the highest number of
votes in the whole state. Fourth. The person
having the highest number of such Presi-
dental votes in the United States shall
be President Fifth. These provisions to
Sixth. Congress shall have power TO provide
for holding and conducting the election for
President and Vice President, and to establish
tribunals for the decision of contests as to the
vote in any district or state, and make regula-
tons governing the cdings of these tribu-
mails. By the adoption of a district system of
voting by the people directly for the candidate
with two Presidential votes in a state at large
and the plurality rule for determining the result
the election is brought nearly home TO the peo-
pie as can be not to make it an election by the
nation as one community, and it still recognizes
the states such, while it enables the people OF
each district in a state to express their will so
that hereafter state need not cast solid vote,
as under the present system. 1t tends TO dis
pense with the convention, which is now neces-
sary IN order to form an electoral ticket for each
state, and it enlarges the liberty of the irdi
vidual voter, who can vote for any citizen he
may select for President or Vice President. By
the plurality system an election will always be
final, and there can be no necessity for an cleo
ton by the House Of Representatives, which l.
SO much objected to. The plurality rule has
been adopted successfully in all the states in the
Union, except four in the election of state Off
GERS, and it generally prevails in the election OF
members of Congress. In none of the states
where it has been tried is there any thought of
abandoning it. Other questions are considered
in connection with tie votes in the states and
districts, and providing the exigency of death
or resignation of the President after election
and before inauguration.

NEW YORK, October 9.-Some of the down
town banks have virtually resumed payment Of
greenbacks. The managers of the clearing
house saws that since the issue of loan certifi-
Gates there has not been seen SO many green
backs as were seen yesterday when the clear
ances were made. A Wall street bank presi-
dent spoken TO or the snbiect said he thought
green backs had become sufficiently numerous
to allow of such course being taken. In case
however, the pressure became too great the
banks would no doubt fall back on the plan
which has been followed during the past two
weeks as a measure of safety. There seemed no
reason, he said, why the payment of legal-ten-
ders should not go on; trade was prosperous.
The National Trust company, it Is under
stood, has resumed business and payment OF
obligations.
