THE --LATEST ELECTORAL 6ENsATIoN.

THE --LATEST ELECTQAAL 6EH8ATlpN.
The uncertainties aud sensations OF the
present political situation hare been aug
.mented by tho rumor that JAMES RUSSELL
LOWELL, who Ia one Of the Massachusetts
Electors chosen by the Republicans Of thet
State, will cast his vote for T11DaN. This
rumor received seeming confirmation FROM
ths appearance in the last number OF the
Nation Of an article entitled IA Disputed
Election, or Failure 10 Elect" IN which
tbs ground was taken that 1t was clearly the
duty of one OF the 100 Electors chosen for
HArHa in the Northern States to exercise tho
prerogativo Of Ills office and vote independ-
emily ~ the ouly meana Of correcting the
assumed fraud in the count OF the votes In
South Carolina, Florida, aud Louisiana. 1t
IL generally understood that JAMES RUSSELL
LOWELL has long been one Of the contribu.
tors to the Nation; aud It was supposed TINT
lie wrote the article III question, which
we observe he denies. In that article,
which recounted the earlier practices of
Electors voting Independently, occurred the
following significant uttsrauoes:
6upposing that tho votes Of what We will call thu
three ''NcInrAlng. Board" stutEs arc all giycn 10
Gov. HAYES, II will yet bo in the power Of auy
Single Republican ElactoF TO convert the otherwIso
Inevitable Disputed election into failure IL ccci.

In the Senate yesterday a1r. INGALLS,, Of

ing for the call BY Congress Of a Constita-
tional Convention, to be held at Columbus,

the adoption Of an amendment 10 tho Con-
stitution Which shall remedy the defects IN
tho Electoral system developed by the Prssi-
dental election of 1876.

Iowa had II electoral yotes md Kentucky
-. Under this law, and by this same vote,
HAYES would hayo had and TiIpEN votes
in Town, and HAYES and TzLpzN votes In
Kentucky. Tho result would hare been the
samo, though the Republican vote in Kon.
would haye had It's proper weight. But l,ad
TfLpEN's majority III Kentucky been only
5,Uoo, he would hnve got the whole IL votcs
under tho presen: rule. Another illustration
In furnished by tho vote in Indiana. That
State las Is electoral votes, which were all
given for TiLpES. Under Ntogroa's plan,
HAYES would have had Q aud T1LpEN 6;
while under this plan 1'iiDkN would have
had T., and HAYES :. Under RucKAIEw's
plan, New York wonld hare given T1IpEN
Is aud HArEs II, whiie Tt1pEN would hayo
Ind a share In the vote Of Ohio, Ponnsylva-
MIA and Illinois, and HAYES had a full sharo
Of the vote In Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia,
Alabama. Missouri, aud all the Southern
States, where he now gets mono al all. This
advantage OF this plan is that 1t tlefeata the
present undue weight Of the large States
where small majority carries with It tho
whole Electoral vote Of the State. 1t.gives
to the vote of every citizen an equal Weight
In tho election ofPresidcnt, because in what
ever State it be polled It will count ao-
cording to It's due proportion for tho candi-
date for whom it is cast. undor this plan
also each citizen will be able to vote directly
for President and Vice-President separately,
and for whatever person for each office lie
may think proper. The useless, cumbersome
machinery Of the Electoral College will be
done awny with.
We have no idea that Congress can mature
new plan by constitutional amendment for
counting the Electoral vote Tor President at
this election. But como what may ont OF the
present trouble, 1t will be criminal negligence
OH the part Of Congress not to provide for
future elections, not merely to meet tho
poiut of canvassing the vote, but to cover
the whole business Of electing tho President,
the time and manner of taking tue popular
vote, and tho ulannor Of its counting and
tho declaration Of the result. The present
p'au, ut the end Of seventy five years, has
reached that point where it no longer serves
the purpose for which it was intended, and.
therefore, mu8t be remedfel II ws wish to
avoid confusion and strife.
