No matter what the issue OF the present
Presidential wrapgle may be. Congress, on
the very nrst day Of the coming session,
should take up and pass an amendment to
the Constitution aooIishing the electoral
college and providing for the election OF
President and Vice President by the direct
vote Of the people. Toe electoral college
system Is obsolete, unsuited to the times
obnoxious probably TO the great IN aJority of
the American people, and should ps abol-
ished forthwith. There are two strong rea
sons why Ii should be abolished. One Is,
that, under It's operations, the will OF the
majority OF the voters may be ignored, as
has been the case in several instances; aud
The other, that under IL the country is liable
10 Dc placed In Imminent danger of revolu-
tion every four years. A system so unfair
and dangerous ought not 10 be tolerated by
the people longer. The New York Journal of
Commerce takes this view OF the case, and,
as An instance OF the ubfairness of the sys
fem, remarks that Nevada, with its 40 900 or
10000 Inhabitants, is equal u New York
with Its 400 coo, in respect OF Senatorial
electors, each state having two. As Nevada
elects oue Representative 10 Congress, she is
entitled to three electoral votes, while New
YORK, with nearly huGdred times her pop
ulatiop, has only thirty i've votes. The
same principle OF disparity, though not as
great, obtains In other of the states, old and
new. In the creation of the electoral col. .
lege certain principle of state rights"
was recognized, but even those people who
stand up most stuTdily for the rights OF the
states must admit that this particular right
Is one that could be aorogatsd without i'm
pairing any Of the powers that ought in
common justice to belong TO the different
states Of the union.

Again we go To press without being able to
give the final result In the disputed ct ates.
1t seems probhble that Hampton is elected
Governor of South Carolina, and that Hayes
has q small majority on the electoral vote In
that state. As regards Florida and LouIsi-
an, II would seem that only the official count
Will settle the matter definitely, aud this
count cannot be reached for some days yet.
The official count is now going on in South
Carohns; 1t will commence on Friday In
Loulsiana; but In Florida the Board Of Can
vassers will not, IL is stated, oe able To COM
plete their work for probably two weeks.
