In reply to q criticism in these columns on
the printing of the old ordinance Of secession
by Virginia firm, to be used by sympathizers
with the rebellion as memento, a correspond
ent says: 81 am surprised at your criticism on
the West and johnson publication. Why,
sir, I regard that as one Of the good things of
the season. That is a document that ought to
be hung up in every Virginian's chamber,
parlor and other conspicuous place about his
premises, on the same principle that we hang
tscare-crows' up in our corn-feld. 1 have
about dozen of these ordinances hanging
around; so that one of them is never out of
sight. And when any one of the signers
shuffies off, just think of the infinite pleasure
it affords to check off the name. One more
fool gone. One more dupe, perhaps, but TOOL
dupe. You are mistaken. The Virginia 'ordi-
nance is a valuable document, and, properly
used, may be of infinite service to the genera
tons coming

That ubiquitous reporteHof the Cincinnati
E"q,drr has carefully canvassed the Demo-
cratic members of the Ohio Legislature, and
finds that nearly three fourths of them favor
Pendleton for the Presidency. Hush. Break
the news gently to Thurman. Let it fall upon

the zephyrs in the wildwood or sweet music on
the moonlit sea.

That Pennsylvania Legislature docs an act
now and then that is really commendable.
They have recently made 1t a crime for any
person to point gun at another. OF course,
this will not prevent an editor from cutting
mans head of with the shears who insists on
smoking fye-cent cigars in his sanctum and
whistling during the intervals between the

three "doubtful States" have each
two sets of electors, who met on

respective candidates, but it is a moral
certainty that some Of the votes cast
will be wasted; SO the solution of the

moved as ever.

Between s and 10 o'clock this morn

cottage house, No. so Ritch street, near
Harrison. a warrant had been sworn
out against the occupant, John Nc

as a common drunkard. When the
officer went to the house to serve the
warrant he found the corpse of Nc
Kinley's wife, who had died of small

were fumigated and the children, five
in number, removed to a temporary

Prominent Republicans advise a

NEW YORK, Dec. Z.
Nearly all the journals concede that
Conkling has gone over to Tilden.
A Heraid's editorial says: The reg
ular certificates which will be for
warded to the President of the Senate,
authenticated by the Governors of the
several States, give 1855 votes for Hayes
and Wheeler and 1874 for Tilden and
Hendricks. On the face of the certiti-
Gates Hayes is therefore elected, and
we judge it probable that the result
will stand at all events. The burden
Of proof is now on the side of the
Democrats with the prima facie case
against them, but whatever ma come
afterwards it is altogether probable
that Mr.. Hayes will he the mex Pres

Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-12-08

The present condition of the presi
dental question ought to convince
every thinking man that Il radical
change is necessary in the of
electing our Presidents aud Vice Pre~i-
dents. The Electoral College, in a
clearly contested election like the last.
has proven itself to be inadequate to
The occasion; a piece of machinery as
likely to defeat the will of the people
as to perform the work for which it
was intended, and it appears to be gen
orally conceded by prominent states
men of both parties that II change
should be made. 1t is therefore proba-
BILE, before another presidential cleo
ton, that our Federal Constitution will
be amended SO as either to abolish the
Electoral College, or so reconstruct it
as to remedy the evils which have so
plainly manifested themselves within
the last few weeks. 1t is a matter OF
vast importance and the question
should receive careful consideration.
Senator Morton's plan to give each
Congressional District one electoral
vote and two to the State at large to
the ticket receiving u majority of the
popular vote of the State. seems to Us
TO increase the objectional points in the
present system instead of diminishing
or obviating them. for the reason that
the gerrymandering business which is
now confined to the States in the presi-
dental contests would be increased by
the better opportunities afforded of
colonizing from n Congressional dis
trict to another, it requiring in most of
the States but thirty days residence in
a county to entitle a person to vote
who has been a resident of the State
the requisite length of time. The
waste OF popular majorities in the cleo
toral districts is the thing to be avoided
if possible, and in any new adjust
ment the popular vote should have its
full weight, for any other system is in
the interest of political managers. We
confess that we ear discern no method
of obviating the difficulty except by
massing the entire vote of the nation
in grand electoral district.
