have seen still another plan. 1t Is that of
ex-senator Buckalew of Pennsylvania. 1t pro-
vides, as we might expect any project emanating
from this distinguished statesman would, for giving
the minority vote in every State its proporionate
effect in determining the general result and 1t ac-
compishes this without bringing the election down
to direct popular vote aggregated f0r the Whoie
country. At the same time it preserves to all the
States their present relative power in the choice OF
the Chief Executive AS iuthe scheme last described,
the voters under Mr. Buckalew's system are to cast
their ballots for candidates for President and Vice
President, and each State is to have the same
number Of electoral votes as now, with
ont the interposition of the machinery Of
electors, but these electoral votes are to be di-
vided among the candidates as nearly as possible in
proportion to the popular vote each receives. APP
plying the system to the late election would give
Tilden Is votes from the State of New-YOrk and
Hayes II, while in Pennsylvania the result would
be Hayes Ii, and Tilden -. In pTacticabiity this
plan does not equal the one last described, be-
cause it would be opposed by the politicians OF
the large States on account of its effect in
dividing the electoral VOTE 1t would not be likely
to incur the hostility of the small States however,
because it would involve reduction in their pres
ent relative political power. It's chief merit is that
which it possesses in common with the direct popu-
lar vote plan but in lesser degree that of proyid
ing for minority representation and at the same time
of abrogating the antiquated and clumsy machinery
of electoral colleges If there is no longer any good
reason for the States acting as units in making
President, l should be inclined to rank this system
next in absolute merit to the one first described,
which wipes out State lines, as far as the National
election is concerned, and makes each citizens vote
tell directly upon the result. E. ". 8.

OUTLINES OF THE PLOT.

CAPTURE OF THE STATE HOUSE BY RIFLE
cLUBs-REPUBLICANs TO BE KEPT FROM THE
LEGISLATURE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUNE.l
I WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The Republicans here ap-
vrehend that enough of the Republican members
of the South Carolina Legislature will be prevented
from going to the State Capitol, either by bribery
or violence to give the organization of the Legsla-
sure to the Democrats. 1t would only be necessary
Tor the Democrats to keep three four of the Re-
publican members away from Columbia in order to
cure the organization of the Legislature in the in
berest of Hampton. A drugged cup of liquor de-
hyed train, or a bludgeon would do this.
William A. Cook a lawyer of this District. who
was present in Columbia during the canvassing of
he vote last week, arrived here to-day. He says
here is deep feeling in both political parties there,
and manifest inclination to violence. He believes
that very large force of the rife clubs will be at
Columbia tomorrow, prepared to capture the State
House on moments notice. by preconcerted signal.
The number Of United States troops now there is
800. The duties, he understands will be to prevent
violence about the State House.
The members Of the Legislature, with the excep-
tor Of those from Edgefed and Laurens, the former
county having five and the latter three representa-
lives will meet and organize tomorrow. The full
House is composed Of 1874 members Leaving these
Two counties out there will be 116, and the Repub-
Scans win have majority, and the House, when it
ets on the admission of delegates from Laurens
md Edgefeld, viii necessarily decide in favor Of
he Republican candidates. Col. Cook says that the
question for tomorrow is the organization OF the
legislature, and upon this body will devolve the
hectiOn Of Governor and other officers. Whichever
party secures the organization viii secure the Gov
Rnorshp.
Col Cook regards the question to the vote Of the
Btate for President and VcePresident as being set
Ned for the Republican electors already have in their
hands their certificates of election There may be two
legislative organizations, and 1t is understood that
We troops viii not interfere with the Democrats ex-
eept to prevent violence AS to the Inauguration Of
Sovernor be says there is no special time for the
ceremonial to take place. nor is it necessarily pub
nc one. So both of the candidates may go through
he form Of taking the rains of government.
