Many Of our readers win remember the
American Exploring Expedition Of Com
Wilkes, and the antarctic continent that he
claimed to have discovered 1t made at
the time great sensation in the scientific
world. Ii the report of Lieut. IIvnes of
the English ship Challenger be correct.
the Commodore made greater mistake
about the continent than he did in captur-
ing Mason and Sldel The Challenger
recently made an exploration toward the
South Pole, and sailed right over the
location Of Wilkes continent 1t will be
remembered that Sill James Ross, of the
British navy, many years ago asserted
that he had done the same thing, and that
Wilkes discovered nothing more than some
icebergs that had turned over, and brought
up the mud from the bottom. England
seems to have been the stumbling block
of the Commodore, both in peace and
war

THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1874.

The Committee on Privileges and
Elections, Of the United States Senate,
has been at work for several months, on
an inquiry into the best modes of elect
ing President and Vice President. OF
course this will necessltate a consttu
tional amendment, which it is hoped
will be passed on by the several States
before the Presidential election of 1876
The Senate Committee, it is understood,
has agreed that so much of the present
system as will allow each State two votes
at large shall be retained as recogni-
ton of the smaller States. These votes
will be cast for the candidate having q
plurality of thessvotes of the whole State
Each State will also be entitled to a
number Of votes equal to its representa-
tion in the lower branch of Congress.
The candidate receiving plurality Of
the votes Of any district it is proposed
shall be entitled to the vote of that dis
trict. The committee adopt the plurality
feature SO as to prevent the possibility ol
a minority election. The candidate hav-
Ing plurality of the votes of the State,
also receives the two votes at large. The
system proposed by the committee will
break up the undue power now con-
trolled by the great States. 1t is un
derstood that the report Of the COM
mittee will be so framed as to receive the
signatures of the entire number 50 as to
divest it Of any appearance of partisan
ship.
