THE ANDERSON CONTROVERSY. - In
Anderson there seems to be much feel
ing over the result Of the recent election
of town council and their appointment
of q new cotton Weigher. Mr.. Hoyt,
one Of the editors of the InteLligenccr,
ran IS a Democratic candidate against
Mr.. Cochran, the Senator from that
County. who ran as al independent call
didate for the position of Intendant.
Since the election, several editorials
have appeared in the MtetHyc,,-
Ger, on the subject of the election and
the new cotton wsigher, some of which
We have not read, and the last week IS
Anderson paper contains on this subject
three columns Of editorial matter and a
communication from Dir. Cochran, OF
two columns of small type.
Mt. Cochran says: II was from the
beginning an independent candidate,
and represented no political party,
clique, faction or race and having re-
ceived large majority of the votes poll
ed, including more than one-third of the
white votes.
TO which the Intelligenccr replies
LIVERY negro in town, and some outside
of it, voted sor him, with probably three
exceptions. AS to his 'lndependent'
candidacy, every sensible man knows it
was only intended to secure some white
votes, and that the negroes all looked on
njm as their candidate, and championed
his cause"
Mr.. Cochran says: Again you the
NtcUigence''] say "Col. Cochran, it is
understood, ran to make his brother-in-
law To~n Weigher'" Now, deny
this.
The LutclGgencer replies, that before
the election, ".When the petition [of
McGee, the former Weigher] was pre-
sented to him, lie replied in emphatic
language, that he Was sorry to see it, for
he wanted Mr.. Keese to have the posi-
ton, and that petition would render it
necessary for Kim to run again for In
tendant."
MIR. Cochran says: "As to my ulti-
mate voting for him MIR. KeeseJ because
he was my brother-in-law, if that be o
crime, 1 prefer to plead guilty. If YOU

TLECTIN9 4 PRESIDENT.

k1r. Senator MoBroN's proposition to amend
the Constitution in tho particular Of elocting
the President and Vice. President of the United
states provides generally that tho people
shall vote for these officers In districts, and
that the person having the highest number of
votes in each district shall bo considered as
having ofsd vote, and tho person having tho
greater number Of these district votes, If
majority Of the whole, shall be declared elect
ed. This amendment dispeusss with the na-
chinery Of tho Electoral College, but retains
in tho number Of electoral votes apportioned
to the people Of each State the two allowed
for tho Senatorial representation.
The reason given for adhering to tha elect
oral System is, TINT the people Of the smaller
States would probably never vote to ratify
an amendment to the Constitution which
would deprive them Of any part o< their
present advantage and undue weight in the
electoral vote, because Of the addition Of tho
two Senatorial votes. We think this obfeo-
tion has been magniAed, The electoral vote
in 1876 will be 292 Representative and "a
Senatorial; total, 80G. The percentage Of
tho Senatorial vote Is about 20 per cent of
the whole. It's proportion, however, varies
greatly, as applied to the several States. It
is equal to 100 per cent Of the Representative
| vote Of Rhode Island, and 200 per cent Of
tho same vote Of Delaware, Nebraska, Nova
da and Oregon. tits equal to G7 per cent OF

President GRANT sent O message to the
Senate yesterday with number of docu-
mcnts relating to affairs in Arkansas. The
President says all tho testimony shows that
Brooks was elected Governor in 1872;
that ho was unlawfully deprived Of
possession Of his Office; and that
the new Constitution, under which
GARLAND now holds, was carried by fraud,
violence, and revolutionary proceedings. We
do not know on what testimony the Presi-
dent bases his opinion. That is presumably
contained IN the documents sent to the Sen.
ate. But We do know that all the testimony
before the people goes to estab-
lish tho validity Of the GAz1AND
Government. 1t may bo that the
position Of the President is technically cor
rect yet we believe that interference with the
constituted Government Of Arkansas, which
has brought prosperity and peace to that IN
happy State, would be contrary to broad
and enlightened public policy.

properly readiust this that the work of re.
weighing the mails is there commenced.
The weighing is very simple, the clerks be-
ing required to weigh by kind of "double
Gentry, THAT is to.weigh all matter received
and again weigh it when delivered, thus
testing the accuracy of the weght-for If
their work 10 accurate the weight of the
matter received will exactly balance that
delivered. In addition to the weight of the
mails, the clerks employed in the service
are required to report as to the dimensions
and accommodations of the postal car,
number of trips, per day or week, and the
speed per mile over the route-these mat
tiers being all taken into consideration in
fixing the compensation. When the weigh
ing will ie.commence in Vermont we are
not at present advised, but until that time
the compensation will remain as at present.
