OF money, the patriots of Cubn, who have

any honest purpose TO try the questions
which had been raised. and which the two
Houses Of Congress-, Sinking the duty i'm
posed upon them by tho Constitution had
sent to the Commission. Itturned out, how
ever, that the whole scheme Of the Commits
sion was device to evade tho decision OF
those questions, and to put HAYES into the
Presidency upon the theory that in counting
the votes there can be no going behind the
returns, even If every cector returned ns
such was constitutionally disqualified from
casting vote.
Mr. MORTON has now written nm article In
the North american Rcricc, which 1t seems
lac intends to follow with another, for the
purpose Of showing that what he calls the
rubbish OF the electoral college," ought to
be "brushcd away" and "the people al
lowed to vote directly for the man OF their
choice for President and Nicc-Prcsidcnt."
He begins his warfare upon tho electoral
system by a general dsparagcmcnt Of the
trainers Of the Constitution rs "mcn who
entertained profound dstrust OF the capac-
ity Of the people to govern themselves, and
who consented to bring the new Government
directly 20 tho people only in one depart
mcnt-thc election Of members Of the House
Of Representatives." When he comes to
touch upon the lato election, and the fact
that there were electors in Florida, Louis
lana, and Oregon who were not eligible, he
cndcavors to bclittlc the objection to their
votes by coutendng that the Offices which
they held were very small and unmportant
places. giving risc TO very unmportaut
question. although it was one that might
have decided the result Of the election.
Most persons who have some knowledge
Of our constitutional history and whose
memories 40 back a. far a. that Of Senator
MoRroN or even further, will bc curious to
see how he will como out in the Interior de-
velopmont OF his views. and how he will
succeed in producing a conviction that the
electoral college has never yet faithfully
represented the people. OF one thing, how
ever, everybody will be satisfied. namely,
that if the electoral college is artificial.
complex. liable to arrangement and acci-
dent Mr. MoRroN has done as much as
any other living man to bring upon it this
rcproach. by the maintenance Of doctrines
which have made II a convenient engine Of
fraud and handy instrument for defeating
the popular will Mr. MoRrON, no doubt, took
great pleasure in contemplating the injury
which he and his Republican colleagues Of
the Commission inflicted upon the electoral
system, 10y the doctrines which excluded the
popular will and made the frauds OF u con-
spracy triumphant.
