From the Washington Republican.

FROM the w iShlngtOn NepuDUca0.
The President yesterday nominated Mr..
Morrison r. Waite, of Toledo, Ohio, for Chief
Justice la the brief executive session the
nomination was referred to tie Committee on
the Judiciary. Both the Ohio Senators speak
in the highest terms OF Mr.. Yates ability and
character Senator Thurman. before whom as
Judge Mr. Waite has argued many cases, is
very complimentary toward the nomination,
and indicates his intention to vote for conhrma-
ton. The members of the Seuate Committee
on the Jud clary were consulted by the Presl-
dent before the nomination was made, and 1t
is understood to meet with the cordial approval
Of every member Of the committee.
Mr. Waite is native Of Lyme, Conn, aud is
a son Of Chief Justice Waite, of that State.
He was educated at Yale College, graduating
iu the class with Mr.. Evarts and Mr.. Edwards
time. After the completion of his legal studies,
he went from Connecticut to Ohio. This was
about the Year 1912 He first commenced the
practice oflaw at Maumee After brief prac-
tice there he removed to Toledo, where he has
ever siuce resided. He has been engaged iu
the practice Of the law some thirty or thirty
two years, and is now about ffty-four or fifty
five years of age. For the last twenty-five
years scarcely case Of very great importance
has been tried in Northwestern Ohio that MIR.
Waite has not been engaged as counsel Oh Que
side or he other. His knowledge Of the law
extends to all its branches, including admiralty
and constitutional law, in both Of which spe-
cialilics he has the reputation Of being very
strong.
Outside of the law he is man of fair, though,
perhaps, not large attainmcnts, although
thoroughly we'll informed upon all current sub
ects, and all matters of history which are con
nected with the practice Of his profession. He
is represented as u man Of solid, rather than
brilliant attainmcnts, and as having Il thorough
Iy judicial mind and character. He is at the
present time president Of the constitutional
convention of Ohio, now in session iu that
State. In the practice Of his profession he has
accumulated a comfortable competence, every
dollar Of which, u personal FREUD of his states,
has been made from fees in his practice, and
that through his whole life he has positively
refused to engage in any manner OF speculation
or any speculative enterprises whatever.

A New MODE OF ELECTTNG PRESIDENT
The Senate Committee on Privileges aud Eec-
tions Yesterday met and considered Senator
Morton's proposed constitutional amendment
TO provide better mode Of elccting the PrcSl-
dent. Without reaching a formal conclusion.
the following propositions were considered: ;
FIRST TO abolish the electoral college; second
the President and Vice President to be voted
for directly by the people, third, each State to
be divided into as many districts as 1t has re-
representatives., and the candidates having the
highest vote for President in the district to re,
ccive the vote Of that district, which shall
count one presidential vote; each State to Dc
also entitled to two presidential votes at large,
which shall be counted for the candidates
having the highest number Of votes III
the whole State; fourth, tho person fav-
ing the highest number of such preSl-
dental votes in the United States shall BE-
President. This will allow President to be
elected by Il plurality vote; fifth, these provl-
sious TO be applicable to the election OF VICE
President; sixth, Congress shall have power to
nroyidc for holding aud conducting presidential
Elections, and to establish tribunals Tor decl-
sion of contested elections in districts or States,
and make regulations to govern these tribunals.
SENATOR SpENcER's CASE. There is un-
easiness iu the Alabama delegation just now,
growing out of recent developments affecting
the character of Senator Spencer. 1t was stat
ed sometime since that among the papers
Of one Widmcr, an Internal Revenue CoIIec-
tor 10 Alabama (uow deceased was 10, i9und
note of Senator Spencer 5 for S2,ooo Widmer
was dcfllltcr TO the Government, ana the 10
ference was drawn that the money for which

a ann o by Widmcr. For publishing
statement to that effect Spencer is said to have
brought suit for libel against Ia, the Montgomery
i is said that the report of the special agent OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau, sent to Mont
gomery to Investigate the matter, aud which
: 90 file in the Treasury Department, estab--
fishes the fact that such cote was found
among Widmer's papers, and It Is limited that
this is not ALL but that the Senate Committee
on priviIegesand Elections has damaging docu-
mentary evidence against Spencer

THE CONTEST.

And now the fight is fairly commenced.
The battle II pitched, and our enemies
have met lis with bold, determined front.
There is no dallying with independents
or "BOlters' now. The guage of battle
has been thrown, and the Radicals have
struck out fairly and squarely from ;he
shoulder. They have placed in oppo>i-
ton to Colonel WILSON, General GoFF.
Look straight at the issue. In making
this nomination, they have trusted en-
tirelv totheir own strength they have
utterly cast aside all hope of support for
their candidate from any faction outside
Of their own party, unless that faction is
willing henceforth and always, TO accept
them entirely and in full, and be known
simply and purely as Radicals. General
GOFF has never pretended to be any
thing else. He has been outspoken.
He has accepted and holds Office under
the dominant party, and he comes
before the people of this district the
champion of Radicalism, the champion
Of the present great issue ofCivil Rights
This he cannot deny. Let him say As
much as he will that he is opposed TO
that measure, he canhot even then
itl n1,,l, III
never faltered in his adhesion to his
party, when it advocated and pushed
this bill in Congress: but to the contrary,
having held and retained office
under it, denial Of support to this, its
pet measure now, will not free him
from the burdens which it entails. And
more too: not only this vital measure does
he shoulder in the fight, but he comes
forward the armed and proud standard
bearer of party which has gwen to the
world Credit Mobilier swindles, moicty
swindles, and made corruption and dis
honesty SO common rs to have become Il
part and parcel of government, which
until the accession of his party, at least
always bore in the eyes Of the civilized
world such dignifed position, that Of
fetal peculstion and dishonor were never
limited at to any degree of seriousness.
On the other hand san avowed Demo

PATTERSON OF PENNSYLVANIA.

What reason has PATTERSON, of Penn
sylvania, to be going to Washington and.
in consultation with various other mis-
rulers Of the States of South Carolina and
Louisiana, endeavor to get our Attorney
General to either ride in his landaulet
or in some railroad car, to Long Branch,
and procure an Imperial decree for
troops to be used in the coming election
in those States? Is PATTERSON of Penn
svlvania governed by motives of human
ity, or does he go on the general Penn
Sylvsnia idea Of protection? These
questions were suggested to Us by recent
events, but after little study we could
solve them. PATTERSON Of Pennsylva-
MIA is now Senator from SOnth
Carolina. He and MoSEs have
shaken hands across the bloody chaSm,
and have determined together to save the
State. But this requires strategy, and
can't be done without troops. PATTER-
son, of Pennsylvania, will soon arrange
that. He will make Il speech telling the
negroes that the heretofore pcaceable and
inoffensive white man has suddenly be-
come Infatuated, and intends to commit n
series of murders upon the blacks. Then
the negroes will commit murder or
two; the whites will punish the perpetra-
tors; then an imperial decree will send
down National troops just about
election times, and the State will
be saved. Beautiful plan, shrcwd
and keen. Well concoctcd, and
by strange similarity of circumstances,
the same thing is concocted, planned and
carried out simultaneously almost, in
other States. 1t has worked to II charm.
The decree has gone forth. The ncccs-
sary adjunct for carrying the election Is
secured. PATTERSON, of Pennsylvania,
and Moses, of South Carolina, are hap
Ply, for they will now be able to
save the rest of the State they
have not already saved, and
deposited in bank. They will save South
Carolina, and these other fellows will
save Louisiana Happy fellows. Mis-
cradle States. Magnificent Imperial
party running the National Government.
So good natured; SO willing to help UNI
fortunate adventures. Always SO will
ing to interfere. What a pity it has 50
slim a hold in West VIRGINIA.

Col. BENJAMIN WILSON has COM
menced the compaign vigorously and
energeticslly. AT meeting in Weston,
Lewis county, few days since, he
opened his batteries and fired hot shot in
the ranks Of the miscegenation and
social equality party. He told the pco-
pie that he was not candidate Of any
faction, JACOB or CAMDEN; but Of the
whole Democratic party Of this District.
That is the way to put it. We have
got to fight Radicslism; nothing else, and
our candidate seems to be as determined
now TO conduct this battle for his party
Is he was two years ago.

now where is there to be found the
