of the States and concentrating more power
in the national government. Under the plan
Mr.. Morton prefers, the whole community
voting as a unit, as the election in France
for Louis Napoleon as President was
conducted, the objection would have great
weight. 1t would be q very radical change in
this republican government But the plan
he has adopted of voting by districts, every
State having as many electoral votes as at
present, removes the objection to a great
extent. Still, that would be change in
measure of the old State rights theory OF the
government. AT present, as Is KNOWN the
electoral vote of the State is counted upon the
total majority, though that majority may not
be more than one vote. 1t is, in fact, the
State that casts the electoral vote. But If we
understand rightly the plan proposed by MIR.
Morton each district will have its vote
counted New York, for example, might cast
seventeen district votes for one candidate and
sixteen for another; whereas. under the
present system, supposing the seventeen dis
tricts had majority Of all the voters Of the
State, the whole thirty-three would be given
for one candidate. This proposed change
would certainly give fairer representation of
public sentiment in the choice of President,
taking the Republic as whole, and we
cannot see how it would endanger the
reserved rights of the States. True,
federal power has made of late
years great encroachments upon the lines of
State authority through amendments to the
constitution and the laws made to execute
them, and through the exercise of doubtful
powers, which may create fear of admitting
further changes Still, this should not prevent
o remedy being applied to admitted or dan
gerous evils. As was said before, we do not
see that any danger can arise to the federative
principle, so far as it has been preserved or to
our institutions, in admitting the vote for
President by districts directly. If it should be
thought there would be danger some middle
course might be devised. At all events, the
electoral college system does not answer the
purpose intended. is useless appendage to
our government at best and may lead to
serious trouble There could be no better
time to discuss the question than the present,
and as the Chairman of the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections, under authority of
Congress- is earnestly at work preparing q
report on it the opinions of the press and
public sentiment should be evoked. Repub-
lican and democratic institutions may be as
much endangered by not remedying evils
when they are known to exist as by mere
theoretic or experimental changes.

Pctty spitefui Conduct of the Small
Dominion ORcials.


Dominion Omcials.
In the matter Of the arrest and imprison-
ment of the Minnesotians by the Dominion
authorities on the charge of attempting
to abduct the soi-disant Lord Gordon,
the little colonial officials have manifested
a meanness of conduct that should be
rebuked at once by those in high author
ity. While there is no love for these Western
yankees among the conceited Britishers
across the border, we do not suppose there is
any disposition to carry persecution to the ex-
treme-to hang the invaders, for example
but the temptation to swagger and show
their '1ittle brief authority over these
yankees is, we suppose, irresistible. What
fuss over this precious and slippery Lord
Gordon, who, by the way, has slipped off
again Just when he was wanted Surely the
Governor General or the British government
will order the release at once Of our citizens,
and not let them be kept in miserable prison
and treated as if they were criminals Of the
highest grade. From the temper of the peo-
pie of Minnesota it will hardly be safe to per-
secute these men on technicality and to
crafty the revenge of Mr.. Gordon. We are
glad the Secretary of State is moving in the
matter, and have no doubt the British govern
ment will act in different spirit than that
with which the little colonial officials have
acted

The CANADIAN PARLIAMENT is prorogued
and with all the pomp and glitter that our
vain friends across the border could command.
The Governor General went to the House of
Commons in state. He was pleased to close
the session, begged leave to convey his con-
gratulations for the very nice acts passed by
the Parliament and thanked the members for
their diligence. But His Excenency, by the
appointment of commission to investigate
tue Canadian Credit Mobilier scandal, raised
a hornets nest in the House. For time the
scene Of disorder and vituperation rivalled
even one of the darky legislative sessions in
the South. 1t is apparent that the Blue Noses

esty Of vioeroy.

DON Carlos with His Army I'm Spain.
The presence of Don Carlos, at the head
quarters of the royalist army has afforded
a fresh impulse to the conduct of the operations
Of the campaign which he is waging for the re-
covery of the Bourbon crown. he had his
chief position at Alvana on the 9th inst, as
we are specially informed by HERALD tele-
gram from that point Don Carlos had but
few soldiers under his personal command He
acted merclyin his capacity as Commander-in-
Chief of the royalist forces. Under this COM
mission he made careful note of the opera
tions which were being executed in the field
by his Generals, Dorregaray, Velasco and
Lssaraga. Our. report goes to show
that he has good reason to be
pleased The republican forces had abandoned
all the fortified positions in Navarro, with the
exception Of four some of which are to-day in
sore strait and in danger of capture. The
monarchy men looked also to the coast in ex-
pectation of the landing of a cargo of war
munitions destined for the use Of their army,
which they have since received. The Spanish
Bourbon Prince thus, as will be seen, keeps his
eyes steadily directed towards one objective
point-Madrid. He represents a cause which
has fixed centre-this at least--and it is ex-
ceedingly difficult to pledge his failure, when
we come to regard the political vagaries and
party denominations which distract the mind
of his radicalist opponents.

Indian MURDEREEs. Much as we have to
regret the mistaken policy Of the govern
ment in regard TO those redskin Gends
who occasionally indulge in murders of
the most horrible description on the Plains,
yet it is to some extent encouraging
to know that the two bravest and best
known chiefs in the United States Army,
Generals Sherman and Sheridan, are
thoroughly aware of the treacherous
nature Of these rascals and as thoroughly
disguised with the course adopted
towards them by the powers that be. A party
of Sioux INDUCED in somo atrocious murders
q short time ago and escaped scot free, on
account of the wide range of territory over
which they depredate and the small number
of troops placed there to take care Of them.

their booty, and General Sherman wants to
know by what authority they take up their

The Pennsylvania Republican Com
ventlOn.

The Pennsylvania Republican Com
ventiOn.
The Republican State Convention which
met at Harrisburg yesterday has not done
much honor to Pennsylvania or the dominant
party. The denomination of Mr.. r. W.
Mackey is not one that will commend itself to
the majority of the people of the State, even
though he should be reelected It seemed
due to public decorum and decency that his
nomination should not be pressed in view of
the charges which hang over his head. But
it was apparent for weeks before the Conven-
ton that his endorsement had been deter
mined upon. The absence of Senator Cam
eron from his home at the time for holding
the Convention was significant Of this result
and the excuse he will be able to make for
himself-'Thou canst not say did it'-fol-
lows as corollary of his absence. In every
respect the nomination is one to be deplored
Without asserting to or denying the
charges which have been so boldly
made against Mackey, it was on general
principles q nomination unfit to be made.
This is no time to name men for important
places in the State and national governments
who are under suspicion. 1t appears, how
ever, that it was for this very reason that
Mackey was renominated. The dominant pol
iticians have resolved to force his endorse
ment from the people, and thereby secure
triumph for what is known as the Pennsylva-
mia Ring. Both nominations for Judge
of the Supreme Court as well as the State
Treasurership-were given to the western part
of the State, and Philadelphia and the East
are expected to find their reward in the en-
dorsement of their political leaders. 1t is
hard bargain, but one apt to be made in cor
rupt times. The resolutions contain nothing
worthy of remark except the one calling for
the reduction Of taxation; and this, we infer,
is not intended to have any specific meaning.

hour Of dissolution was fast approaching,
he calmly said "Tm not afraid to die |
