Captain John Goldman, in the New York
Ere7aiB0 Post, don't believe there will be any
war. at is not a sectional dispute, ;" he says,
and If we went tO.war We should be Obliged
to lombard each others houses across the
streets and TO fire our pistols over our dining
tables. That settles the question of war 1t
would be altogether too promiscuous, and
could only end like the battle of the Kill
kenny cats" And in this connection he
makes novel suggestion. He proposes THAT
the electors come together, not as the mere
tools of political parties, but as wise and pa
triotic men, and asks If by concerted action
before the votes of the doubtful states are
counted they would come to the decision that
If, by the letter of the law, Tilden is elected
they will all vo.e for Hayes as Vice Presi-
dent, and if by the law Hayes has the first
office, Tilden shall have the second, would
not such an act OF independence on their part
meet with the approval of the community
outside of office seeking demagOgues? He
believes that since there is really little or no
difference i'm the policy of the candidates.
and the character of both being irreproach-
able, the country would be. safe in the hands
of either

In reference TO the dispatch to the v. Y.
Times that the final count for member OF Con-
gress in the 9th Maryland district gives the
election 10 McCOmas, republican. over
Walsh, democrat, by nine majority; that the
certificates of the canvaSsing officers will so
declare, and That the Governors certificate of
election will be given To MeComas the Balti-
mre S,sa says:
This il entirely incorrect There are no
ctnNa>>ing officers or returning boards in
Mary Wand The official count has been made
Ia me Oh district and the return judges of
election have duly forwarded the same TO the
Office OF the secretary OF state at Annapolis
giving Walsh his election by IL majority and
The Governor has no alternative in the dis
charge of his ministerial duties but To issue
the certificate accordingly. The only IRE
count made was in part of the district by
entirely unoff1cial persons, and as yet
amounts to nothing"

The editor OF the Sunday Herald, in his un-
provoked abuse of THE STAR. has now de-
seconded 10 the very gutierrez scurrility, and
1aisehood- There we leave him. We have
no time TO spend in mud-fiinging, and we are
sure our readers have no disposition to see
their favorite paper enter upon this kind of
business. We have labored untiringIy for
many years to supply a reputable, acceHD
able newspaper, and the almost exceptional
success OF The STAR serves To show that that
end has been attained. We do not propose
now To be diverted from that work by the
disreputable, low-fiung attacks OF envy and
jealousy.

Our Defective Electoral System.

IL il gratifying to notice prominent party
journals pointing out the inequalities and
dangers of our present electoral system, and
urging a constitutional amendment whereby
the people of the United States can vote di-
rectly for President and Vice President The
indications now are that. no matter what the
result of the late Presidential election may
De, popular sentiment will force Congress at
its meeting in December to take up the sub
ject in dead earnest and repeal the present
obnoxious system. The New York Erening
ELpress recalls the fact that some of the abiest
statesmen of the country have been urging
the change for fifty years past In the United
States Senate i'm 1924. Mr.. Calhoun said of the
electoral system: sit is a departure from the
intention OF the Constitution, violates the
rights of the minorities, and is attended with
many other evils. The rights of minorities
are violated because a majority of one will
carry the vote of the whole state" In Con-
gress in ISIS, Senator Benton and Repre-
sentative McDuffie proposed a change, and a
committee, consisting OF MessrS. Van Buren,.
BentOR, and r VI. Johnson. was appointed To
draft reformatory measure. Senator Nor
ton, at the last session of Congress, urged a
plan substantially copied from their report
and IL - TO be presumed he will bring il for
ward again early in the coming session. Col.
FOrney. OF the Philadelphia Press seems to
be the only politician of prominence who
opposes the abolition of the electoral
college In late letter from New
York to his paper, he makes the strange
assertion that - never has the foresight of the
fathers been more proved by experience than
In this very system. As il is, il has worked
admirably" How he can say this. in face of
the Imminent peril in which the country is
now placed, solely on account Of the vicious
electoral system, is beyond the limits of ordi-
nary comprehension He goes on to say
"Aoolish IL. (the electoral system and a
single city like New York. made up heaven

states as Rhode Island, California. Oregon

This single reason is far from being concIu-
sive- One Of the fundamental principles of
our government is that the majority shall
rule, and vote by the people directly for
President and Vice President would be a
recognition Of this cardinal principle The

this reason, is antiquated and unrepublican.

The books OF the Post Office department
give the figures upon which the forthcoming
report of the Postmaster General must neces-
sarily be based. AS compared with the pre-
viOus fiscal year. the receipts. which, from
all sources amounted to 81, GA, 1g so, show
an increase of Al ,sj2 1851, while the expendi-
lures (s33, e3, 4S9 81 show decrease of s347 :
s2l.S, making the total gain OF the fiscal
year 1856 of $500 ,e5s1s over the fiscal year
1s7i5. This gratifying result must in the
main be due to the economical management
Of the department by Gov. Jewell. who had
charge of ii during the fiscal year which
ended with the month of June last Under
his administration. il IS but Just to say that,
with the cooperation OF the present Postmas-
ter General, many unnecessary expenses
were Topped of; in one instance alone the
sum OF $4,000 for carrying the Pacific mails
being saved to the government. 1t is, per-
haps, impossible to make the department
self-supporting, and at the same time to fur
nish the people with the necessary postal ia
cilities, but the above exhibit proves that
under careful management the disparity be-
tween the expenditures and receipts may be
greatly lessened.

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1876-10-12

a COUPLE of days ago well-dressed,
foppIsh-appearing colored man, perhaps
from the North, arrived in the city and
presented himself before the clerk at the
Raymond House and asked for accommo-
dations. The clerk informed him that col
ored people were not admitted as guests
in that house, when the party Indignantly
withdrew, and then called ON Mr.. Bentley.
the county attorney, in bis office, to whom
he stated what had happened and asked
that suit might be brought against
the Raymond House. Mr.. Bentley replied
that the State law had not been violated
and cases of that kind would have to be
brought in the Federal court. The party
replied that he was familiar with the law
and that the State had jurisdiction In the
case. After a short discussion of the sub
ject, MIR. Bentley ordered the man, whom
he thought was trying to teach him his
duty and the law in an offensive manner,
down stairs, and he left. Who the man

Ia us about timr TO cease childish twaddle
assigning john Hsncock's Union record as
thc actual reason for his late defeat. If
sn;h ii thing was not disproved by the three
successive elections which he received at
the hands of the Democratic voters of
Texas, many Of whom were Confederstes,
it IS by the well-kuown mIIk-and- water con-
sistency OF his actual and bona fde record
during the war. His unionIsm never cost
Texas or the South drop of blood or a
dollar of money. He occupied but the
position OF non-cOmhatant with respect
To both sides, as did the women and chill
dren of Texas. His fight from the State
vas a matter of no interest whatever to the
Confederacy at the time, and of much less
importance to the Federais than that OF
