now proposed fill one vacancy in
the board by the appointment of Fisn-
ders, 4 federal Office holder, Assistant
United States treasurer, the manager
for Packard in the last Louisiana re-
publican convention, and who brough,
about his nomination for Governor.
Can the national republican party
afford to counteuance and TO take ad
vantage of such methods as these, no
matter how strictly they may be &C
eording to the letter OF the law? Can
1t afford to be put before the country
as the alder and abettor in such mani
testly unjust, sueh glaringly indecent
proceedings And can it afford to
declare, by the help of returning
boards so constituted and of political
appliances of such nature as We have
rec:ted, that its candidate is elected.
unless This shall be shown to the en-
tire satisfaction of both parties We
believe not. If its leaders hope for a
political future, if they have any re-
gard for the esteem of The nation, they
must te day prefer that Mr.. Tilden
shall be returned. II is almost i'm
possible for them, under the circum-
stances. to obtain a verdict favorable
TO their candidate which shall not
bear the fatal tslnt of fraud !; and We
so!emnIy warn them that it is quite
Impossible i'll such case for them 10
escape the Indignation Of the North,
which will cling to them aud ineyita-
bly, sweep them out of political life.
Under The circumstances the democrats
have only to wait. They occupy a
position Of advantage which only their
own folly can deprive them OF. But
the republican position is painful in
the highest degree. To satisfy the
public mind thai no wrong is done,
where so many circumstances point TO
deliberate intention of wrong, is
very difficult for them. To count their
candidate IN without so satisfying the
public mind and disarlning suspicion
is TO court disgrace, and at The next
election 10 meet an irresistible burst
of popular indignation. They may,
by the methods which they are using
and which we have described above,
legally return Mr.. Hayes, and there
vii! be no legal me:hod of setting
aside the result. The nation must
peacefully accept such lega; result.
Bat the republican leaders, will, in
the act, dig deep their own graves,
and two years hence they will be
buried without hope of resurrection.

One markedly interesting feature OF
the stubborn Presidential contest is
that, after all, il is not to be decided by
the popular vote, but by q system
which, whatever j, may have been at
the beginning Of the century, is no
longer suited TO tie wants of the coun
try. Il was a theory then that some
thing should stand between the people
and the government, and the eiec-
tors from each State were chosen not
to represent any special candidates,
bu. after de!iberation 10 ,choase the
best men in their opinion. But the
nation was soon divided into two par
ties. end The Presidential electors be-
came merely the instruments OF their
wills. The unwritten law of our poll
ties required that these electors should
not consult their OWL judgments, bu.
should be simply the registers OF the
DEGREES of the parties. This law was
inexorabIe, and any e!ectOr who shold
have voted against his party would
have been looked upon as worse than
a traitor. We remember no instance
of anv eIect0r who used his cons;itl-
tional right as against his implied ob-
legations. An apparent exception hap
pened in 1872, when the democrat C
electoral votes were scattered among
several candidates who had not been
before the people but the death oi
Mr.. Greeley made this course natural.
The electoral votes could not be
cast for a dead man, and the electors
believed them selves entitled 10 ex-
press their preferences But the sys.
TEN is not only proved to be awkward,
but might become dangerous. The
treachery of an elector might give the
Presidential office TO man not chosen
by the people. Besides this, the prin
ciple that the people should choose a
President is contradicted By the Gus
tom of leaving his choice TO an awk
ward representation of States. In
this election Mr. Tilden has more than
a quarter of million conceded major
ity, and yet Mr.. Hayes might be
legally elected by a minority. One
electoral voter in a State, might nul
Iify the viii! Of two hundred and fifty
thousand people. It IL clear to every
right thinking man, irrespective OF the
result of this contest, that such a
system of electing a President should
be reformed, and we hope to see the
subject impartmIly considered at the
next meeting of congress, and con
stilu!ional amendment, embodying
the necessary reform, submitted to tie
vote Of the State legislatures.
