THE PRESS OF the country is not yet awake
10 the perils of the dilemma, as explained
by the Graphic. Governor Hayes seems to
have 1S5 votes and Governor Tilden 1874. But
according 10 the laws OF human mortality,
one OF this whole number will die within
the month which elapses prior to counting
the votes in the several capitals on Deem
Der 6. If two Hayes men should die, and If,
as is probable. there should be no stated
provision for filling vacancies by appoint
ment, the 1Si democratic electors could out
vote the 1S3 remaining republican electors
and make T1lden President. Electors may
be influenced by bribery to effect the same
result. Each elector acts for himself and
votes as he pleases. A majority OF the col
lege could legally elect Peter Cooper, or
Charles Francis Adams, or John Morrissey,
or John Smith President, II, for any reason,
they should choose 10 do so In violation OF
Instructions and precedent. To vote for
Hayes or Tllden is wholly optional with
them. Whatever shall be tue result on this
occasion the time has evidently arrived for
the electoral college to be abolished as soon
as the constitution can be amended TO that
effect. 1t is clumsy, aristocratic aud ex
pensive institution, and wholly powerless
except for evil. 1t was devised for the pur-
pose OF keeping the people from electiug
their own President, and Is full OF possible
revolutions. Let the nuisance be abated.-

be invited by Gov. Hayes and Gov. Tilden
TO 60 to New Orleans and certify that the
board OF capvassers do the fair thing. We
are not impressed that there is a demand for
this sort OF informal inspection, but II two
or three eminent citizens not notorious for
partisan feeling, could be utilized as wit

might be well. A mob OF politicians gath
