In practical operation, the present system OF
clcct,,.. a President of the United states has
bc,n an Acknowledged failure. More than
forty Years ago, Chicf-Ju'iirc story, while
commenting IT, admitted that in 10 other
"r,.u,rt had the enlarged and liberal views
.. or tLc trainers OF the Constitution, ana the
"cypcctlion, Of the publIc when ii was
:" adopted. been 20 completely lru,trattd,' SO
far ~ relates 10 the independence OF the elect
ors and the experience Of the country since
that time has proved the defects of the Sys-
tenn in other and more important respects. 1t
has rcpcatrdly failed to give expression 70 the
will of the majority of the people in the
choice of Chief Executive; il is cnmbrouS
in its construction and unnecessarily indirect
in ts methods, and it Is full of impcricc,ions
which become more and more apparent at
each recurring Presidential election.
The reasoning by which the system was sus-
toinrd by its authors has in almost every par
ticular proved falacious. If the electors who
ore chosen POSSESS the information, discern
mcut. and independence which would enable
them 10 make Il wise choice Of President, they
have not been allowed 10 exercise them; the
DANCER Of tunult and disorder to which IT was
.uupo,cd a direct vote Of the people would
rive ri,c has not been aycrtrd; thc opportuni-
Ties Cor cabal intrigue, and corruption have not
b.rn removed, and the independence of the
President from the control of party has rot
been sccu:el. The imperfect working of the
system. o? the necessity OF throwing it aside
altogether and rcsorting to an election of thc
President hy The House Of Representatives, has
more than once been attended with dangers
which threatened even the existence OF the
Government itself.
Bat the worst defect Of the whole system,
and the one which most concerns Us now, is
its failure to provide for the discussion OF
decision Of questions which may arise in re-
gard to the regularity or authenticity Of The
vote, OF any State which may be received by
tie President OF the Senate. No one has FOR
Gotten the scene which occurred at tho count
ins o! the electoral vote IN 1913. Under the
operation of tie Twenty Joint Rule il
became apparent that u partisan majority iii
either House Of Congress, if 50 disposed could
defeat the will of the people in the count.
Fortunately that rule is no longer in force,
but unfortunately 10 means have been devised
for settling such disputes as VIII inevitably
arise ut every succeeding election.

DJS7RUST JUSTIFIED.

To many Democrats it seems strange that
honest independents find it hard to trust that
party. They claim that it should not bc held
responsible for the acts of some foolish and
some knavish members. They admit that it
has not succeeded creditably in practical leg
islation, but urge that allowance should be
made for comparative inexpelience, and for
the lack of that SOLDERING sense of response
bility which complete power in both Houses
would bring to worthy men. Thesc claims
have much justice and force. But they do
not touch the chief cause of distrust. The
Republican party has lost confidence, but the
Democratic party has not gained it, because
votes of Democratic members reveal the
existence in that party of powerful
and apparently a growing element, to
which it would be in the last de-
gree dangerous to intrust the power.
For illustration, take the vote Oh the motion
of Mr. Holman last Monday. 1t was a motion
to repudiate q solemn pledge of the public
faith. 1t was a motion to repeal. without con-
dition or qualification, the only act which Con-
gress has yet passed making any provision
whatever for the redemption OF the dishOnored
notes of the United States, the continued use
of which as currency, without provision to give
them stability of value or improved credit,
has caused unreasonable disasters to industry
and commerce. Yet ore hundred Democratic
members voted for this motion, and less than
forty against it. OF nearly thirty who refused
to vote or were absent, there are probably
more than twelve who would support the
measure if forced to final decision. Thus
two-thirds of the Democratic members have
.1,,.. Io,Ef 10
clare. that they desire to repudiate pledge
of the public faith and to postpone resump-
ton indefinitely. In finance, as in parliament
airy law, indefinite postpOnement means ire
vocable defeat
The number Of these votes is even less sig
nifcant than their locality. The policy of the
Democratic party, from its earliest days. has
beea controlled by the South. Nine Democrats
from Southern States voted against the motion
of Mr.. Homan-barely enough to show that
the party in that section is not quite unanl-
nous on the subject. But fifty-seven voted
for the motion-nearly ninety per cent OF the
members voting All honor to the brave and
true men who, like Lamar of Mississippi, Kehr
of Missouri, Gibson of Louisiana and others,
stubbornly breasted the torrent. 1t takes some
courage to resist 50 powerful tendency in
the party and tho section upon which the
political future of a member depends But
not a single Democrat from seven of the
Southern States voted against the motion.
Eight from Virginia, two from West Virginia,
five from North Carolina, seven from Georgia,
one from Florida four from Alabama, one
from Louisiana, two from Texas, two from
Arkansas, eight from Tennessee, Eve from

which has not yet been placed before the pup
lie in the proper light. Altogether 1t may DO
said that the inquiry has been much less favor
able to Messrs. Park and Schenck than many
of us have been led to believe.
The Fisher correspondence which we puD-
lisbed on Wednesday will strengthen the bad
impression already created, for it directly at
tacks Gen. Schenck's veracity in more than one
particular, and shows that his connection with
the mining company was much closer ana
more confidential than he has been willing to
admit. There is not likely to be any further
investigation, however into this branch OF the
subject The inquiry which has already
greatly overpassed its legitimate bounds Is
substantially closed, and the report Will soon
be before the country. 1t would be mere
waste of time at this stage of the case to spec
ulate upon its precise nature; but unless the
best informed persons at Washington are
greatly deceived, it will brush away the mui-
titude of irrelevant matters with which the
Schenck- Park and Stewart party have lncuin-
bercd the issue, will leave the litigants IN the
lawsuit to fight out their battle In the courts,
and will pronounce upon the conduct OF the
American ex-NIinster at London in serving as
decoy to a speculative company, for consul
Grafton. the same verdict which has already
been given by the common sense OF the natlon'

Kentucky, and twelve from Missouri
voted for unqualified reputation. Not q
single Republican from the South voted with
them. But the Democrats of the great West
seem to be equally unanimous in this
matter. Only two of them dared to vote
against the resolution twenty-eight voted for
it-eleven from Ohio, seven from Indiana SIX
from Illinois, two from Wisconsin, and one
each from Iowa and Kansas. The only Demo-
cratic vote from Michigan was against the
motion, as from Mississippi at the South. NO
Democratic votes were cast from Minnesota,
Nebraska, or South Carolina, and the Demo-
Gratis of Texas and Louisiana were divided in
the vote. But from ten Southern and SIX
Western States the Democratic members were
either absolutely unanimous, or 80 nearly so, that
the prepOnderating sentiment cannot be mis-
taken. These States cast $50 electoral votes
To these must be added Pennsylvania, with
its 30 votes for eleven Democratic members
from that State voted for the motion and only
two against 1t. Nor is there any reason to be-
leye that the overwhelming sentiment OF
Democrats at the South and West will lack
expression in the few States from those Sec
tions which were divided or not represented
in the vote on Monday.
1t will not escape attention that these States
will not only send a large majority of dele
gates to a national convention, but they will
elect large majority of the Democratic mem
bers whenever that patty succeeds in control
ling the House In word, they will control
any Democratic caucus any Democratic House,
and any Democratic Convention. Moreover,
SO powerful is the sentiment among Demo
Gratis of these States, that we find the resist
ance to reputation perceptibly weakened
since the former vote in the House on
similar motion. At that time, three Demo-
Gratis from Michigan, four from Texas, three
from Mississippi, five from Pennsylvania, and
twelve from New-York opposed the motion
now only one from Michigan. two from Texas,
two from Mississippi, two from Pennsylvania,
and six from Ncw-York are recorded on the
right side. Some members were properly alb
sent, and some lodged. But it is becoming
more clear every week that the tendency
toward imitation and reputation is very strong
within tho Democratic party. Yet men won

New-York tribune., 1876-05-06
A SUCCESSION.

The PHILADELPHIA Inquirer strongly urges the
reduction of the price of admission to the E1-
position from fifty to twenty-five cents, on the
ground that the present charge will virtually
close the doors against hundreds of thousands
of workingmen and their families. "The great
"and, indeed, only value of the Exhibition"
it saws, sis as an educator of the mass of the
american people. 1t is not in any sense
Speculative or ock-jobbing affair."" Ii the
managers of the Exhibition look at it
from this liberal point of view, there
can be little doubt that the price
of admission will be lowered, II
not Immediately, soon after the opening. Fifty
cents is a small matter in itself, but the Ex-
hibition, for purposes of study, or even for
casual examination, will require many visits,
and few mechanics or laboring meu can afford
this expense, added to that of car fare, food,
etc. The Swedish and Spanish Governments
and the people of France propose to SEND
bodies of workmen to this country, at large ex-
pense. to reap the benefit OF study In TINS
Exposition. 1t has been provided for the edu-
cation and advantage Of our own people; Ia
boring men have largely contributed the funds
to establish it yet by the exacton of high
entrance fee this very class will be shut out
The closing of the grounds on Sunday, how
ever justifiable from certain points OF vlew
will undoubtedly deprive the great mass OF the
laboring population in Philadelphia and the
adjacent country of their chance to visit It,
Why cannot some compromise be established,
such as the lowering of the price on certain
day of the week to minimum ratef If the
mill hand or clerk must give up his days wages
to visit the Exposition. at least let the doors
open to him at as small cost as possible.
Fifty cents appears, too, an extrayagantly
high rate for the admission of children, who
will find no such education else
where. AS yet we have heard of no arrange
ments for half price or discount on school
tickets, &C. Some such arrangements will
certainly. we presume, be made. Large num-
bers of visitors will otherwise leave their
children at home, and schools will be debarred
altogether from going.

TIE CASE OF MR. SCHENCK.

The brief reports which the Associated Press
has furnished from day to day of the exam
nation of the Schenck case in Washington con-
vey an imperfect idea of the drift of the tes-
tmony. 1t was probably impossible to give,
in the space which the NewYork morning
papers could allow for late tclegraphic sum-
mary, q richly faithful account of the cvi-
dence. much of which was obtained with diff
Guilty on a close cross-examinatiOn. The clear
and business-lke manner, for instance, IN
which Mr. Hewitt, in his cross-examination of
Gen. Schenck, brought out the real character
of the ministers agreement with Park is
only to be perceived by reading of the full
report. 1t is only from the full report, too,
that we can understand Mr. Hewitt's able anal
ysis of Schenck's complicated money transac-
tons with Park, from which it appears that
Gen. Schenck made a profit by his original in
vestment in the mine, instead of a loss as he
declares. And we publish this morning some
extracts from the testimony upon anotl'Sr point
