The Electoral system.

One markedly interesting feature Of the
stubborn Presidential contest is that after
al. it IL no. to be decided by the popular
vote, but by system which, whatever it may
have been at the beginning of the century,
ia no longer suited to the wants of tho
country. 1t was theory then shat some
thing should stand between tho people and
the government, aud the electors from each
State were chosen not to represent any
special candidates. but after dcliberation TO
choose the best men in their opinion. But the
nation was soon divided into two parties. and
the Presidential electors became merely the
instruments Of their wills The unwrittcn
law of our politics required that these clcc-
tors should not consult their own judy
ments, but should be simply the registers
of the DEGREES of the parties. This law was
inexorable, and any elector who should
have voted against his party would have
been looked upon as worse than traitor
We remember no instance Of any elector
who used his constitutional right as against
his implied obligations. An apparent ex-
ception happened in 1872, when the demo-
cratic electoral votes were scattered among
several candidates who had not been before
the people; but the death of Mr.. Greeley
made this course natural. The electoral
votes could not be cast for dead man, and
the electors believed themselves entitled to
express their preferences. But the system
is not only proved to be awkward, but
might become dangerous. The treachery
Of an eloctor might give the Presidential
Office to n man not chosen by the people
Besides this. the principle that the people
should choose President is contradicted
by the custom Of leaving his choice to
an awkward representation of States. In
this election Mr.. Tilden has more than o

Tho Hildcbrsnd Inquest.

Tho annals Of misery are agnin painfully
enriched with o contribution which cnnnot
fail to arrest attention, and II the facts arc a.
they are stated, to make tho stoutest hearts
tremble for the safety Of society. As we
understand this story it is simply that ono
of our wealthiest citizens invaded the sane.
tity of another's home. and subsequently,
rather than face a trial, agreed to pay
large sum Of money as compensation for the
shame and ruin he had caused. He
failed or refused to pay a large part
of this sum, however, and exposure
came at last under the distressing cir.
cumstances detailed in our news columns
this morning. Let MS look at this case in
either Of the aspects in which it may be
viewed-with this wealthy gentleman as the
betrayer of the wife of another or as the VIC
tim of another's schemes. Upon either
assumption it is equally discreditable, and
enforces lesson which too many of rs are
apt never to learn. If anything is to be
held sacred it is wifes or o woman'a
honor Even this axiom, SO trite and 50
commonplace, we are apt to forget, espe.
cially because society in this country hedges
itself about by no safeguards and fails
to punish in man what is social
death and moral degradation in woman.
In our own city young girls and even young
wives and mothers 60 to the theatres and to
midnight supper rooms attended by escorts
comparatively unknown or notoriously dam
gerous. When one of them falls fashion
only smiles and turns its back upon the
woman, while the man is o greater favorite
than before. Is this Hildebrand tragedy
such o case, or was this we'll known
citizen, now brought into such unen-
viable notoriety, his supposed victims
victim? In the one case he would
be entitled to sympathy and support;
in the other to the reprobation of every
virtuous household in the land. We must
reform our social as we'll as our political
abuses, and the sooner We begin the better.
Neither wealth nor position must be allowed
to screen the guilty, and in the remarkable
example which has just been brought to
light by William Hildebrand's suicide the
cause as we'll as the fact Of this mans
death must be developed. 1t is inn
possible that q witness so nearly interested
in the developments Of an investigation
should be more tenderly treated than was
Mr.. Ogden yesterday, and the authorities
appear to act MS if it was their duty to sup
press the truth. This is unfair in either
aspect-to Mr. Ogden, if he is wronged in
this matter, and to the public if he has been
guilty of the grave offences laid to his
charge In such case it is only the sup
preston of the truth, or of part of it, which
can result in q wrong to any one.

WHAT GENERAL BUTLER THINKS. We
print elsewhere some opinions on the
present political difficulty expressed by
General Butler to a reporter Of tho HERALD
yesterday. He criticises pretty freely some

quarter Of million conceded majority, and
yet Mr. Hayes might be legally elected by o
minority. One electoral vote, representing
only majority of one voter in State.
might nullify the will of two hundred and
fifty thousand people 1t is clear to every
right-thinking man. irrespective of the re-
suit of this contest, that such system of
electing President should be reformed,
and we hope to see the subject impartially
considered at the next meeting of Congress,
and constitutional amendment, embody-
ing the necessary reform, submitted to the
vote of the State legislatures.

sibilities of the yet uncertain Conference. In
the arguments of the London Times it is to be
seen that the delusions Of the Ministry with
regard to Russia arc not accepted by the whole
country, and that opposition to that policy
is not confined to the liberal party. The
resolute attitude Of the liberals, who oppose
any national action taken in the interest
of tho decrcpit sovereignty on the Bos-
phorus, cannot be disregarded by govern
ment which has to count upon the nation in
any perilous venture. English governments
can perhaps afford to despise foreign opin-
ion when fully possessed of the support of
the British people but where that support
is doubtful it seems madness to venture.
1t is true that tho national spirit is so strong
in England that war always goes
far to smother any opposition that
can be stigmatized as unpatriotic
but the experience Of tho dear triumphs
of the Crimea is bitterly remembered. In
the successful termination Of that war the
victors had nothing to spare yet England
had there the support of the great military
power of France To venture now alone in
circumstances more favorable to Russia, and
again to sustain Power in whose welfare
the people of England have no interest, is to
invite calamity.

TnH SrRATHcLyDE CAsE.--The decision Of
the British courts that they had no juris-
diction in tho case of Ferdinand Keyn,
whose carclcssucss and inhumanity caused
the loss of so many lives on the ill-fated
Strathclydc, will not save that officer from
punishment With commendable prompt
ness tho public prosecutor of Hamburg has
stepped in aud instituted proceedings
against him on the charge Of mnnslaughter,
and the result is likely to be the intlction
Of suitable punishment. This conduct on
the part of the German officials will give
general satisfaction and cannot fail to exer-
else an excellent effect on the commanders
Of vessels, rendering them more careful by
impressing on them their responsibility,
legal as we'll as moral. Captain Keyn acted
with conspicuous inhumanity on the occa-
sion Of the collision with the Strathclyde,
and it is to be hoped that his punishment
will be severe enough to act rs n warning to
others Of his class.

The WEATHEa.-The area of highest pres
sure is now central at the mouth of the st.
Lawrence River, and the barometric gradient
dcscends westward to the lower Missouri
Valley without any remarkable variations of
temperature. Last evening snow fell Mt
Fort Garry and at Bismarck, Dakota, and
small areas Of light rain were scattered
over the country, but chiefly in the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys. In conse-
quence Of the fountain of the winds, the
area Of high pressure, being now northeast
ward of Now York, the prevailing wind is
from that direction, and will continue SO
until the slight depression advancing from
the westward passes eastward of the city.
We will then experience the northwcsterly
after winds which indicate the approach Of
mother area of high barometer. 4 general
:loudiness and cool weather prevails to the
westward. The weather in New York to-day
will be slightly warner and cloudy or partly
sloudy.

MARRIAGE AND DTvoEcE are both very un-
seriain nowadays, as will be seen from
sur court reports this morning. Mrs.
Davis, who figures rs plaintiff in n
divorce case in the Court of Common
Pleas, denies previous marriage, while
admitting there was ceremony, and a
Mrs. White, who was one of her witnesses,
rejoiccs in o divorce obtained in the Court
Of General Sessions, before Judge Hogan.
When ceremony no longer constitutes q
marriage the best possible divorce court is a
police magistrate.

IOWA GERMANS FOR TILDEN.

Allegheny (Pa.) Mail (Rep.)- During
a recenttrip through about thirty counties
in Iowa, we met the leading Germans Of
many towns, andbeing desirous of ascer-
tanning the political standing ofthe Ger
mans in several localities. we made fire.
quent inquiries, and obtained from the
most reliable sources such representations
and calculations as convince us that the
great majority ofthem-fully three fourths
are in favor Of the election Of Tilden and
Hendricks. In some towns Of soto 100
German voters there could be found but
one or two at all in favor of the Repub-
lcan candidates, and in others the per-
centage of Republican supporters among
Germans was but little more. The fact
is, the Germans in that section of the
State which we visited are practically a
unit in the support of the Democratic
Reform candidates.

THE FACES IN THE FIRE.
BY DAVID wTNGATR.

IN langsome NIGHTS O winter, when frost is unco

When snaw is skinklln' on the streams, and stars
are scanty seen
When gantin in the ingle.neuk, oppress'd by
vague desire,
wha hasna gaS'd wi wonder at the faces in the
The reek may swther, and at last refuse to tax
the lum.
Ae BARN may fiddle on the tangs, ane on the ser
yer drum;
Confusion owre the hoose may reign, but OF they
dnna tire,
Wha mang the CLOWN aizles see the faces in the
fire.
Frae tween the ribs they're keekin' DOT, we ken
them every ane,
En- though there should be naething left except
nose and chin
The fashion O some unco mooth we see and
brawly min,
And on some braid and manly broo yet trace the
sorrow line.
What happy memories some recall and when we
ithers see
A something for a moment dlms the dazzled
burning ee;
Some wear the smile o. heaven itsel and some a
frOwl sac dire;
All, sirs there's something unco in the faces in
the fire.
whiles bye in huryin' groups they pass, whiles
llngerin ane by ane,
AS If they each In memory's ha some honoured
place wad win
Some tell onichts when social joy and mirth ap'
pear'd supreme,
Some help us owre to dream again some early
passion dream.
Oh dootless It's for some wise end they gaze
upon us there
To warm affections chilling fast, or chase tor
mentin' care,
Or gar us bound through life again unclogg'd by
ages mire
Ah vlles the wretch wha joyless sees the faces in
the fire,
The faces O. neglected freens we're sure to SCI
them there;
There O impatient creditors we'll meet the angry
stare;
If e'er, wi mean unmanly art, ye plann'd las

Yell see her pale despairin' face the CLOWN Goa

Ye may frae hunger's deadly haun hae saved
wanderin' wean-
It's features for a moment seen, ye neer may
mind again,
But, ah the face O. her ye wrangd, In hopes
twad neer transpire
Is ever, ever present 'mang the faces In the fire.
There's ane that was freen langsyne-alas
WHARF is he noo?-
Flu mony year aboOn his grave has fan the

There's ane that was crabbit wicht-we min hi

And there's the happy l'ssies face that leev'd be

And whase is your We mind itnoo-ah! Will b.

Soon may ye hae a safe return, wi health ant

And then for to your freenship we shall anc

Well tell ye hoo we saw ye mang the faces in tn
