impossible for any returning board to
decide what the vote of the State is. The
central system must be Abandoned, and the |
district system be substituted. The
district system divides the political control.
The same party does not rule in all the
districts. Hence, if electors we're chosen
by districts, the vote of the State would
be divided. The results as to all the
electors would therefore practically be a
division of the votes between the parties,
substantially 10 the ratio of the division
existing in the House Of Representatives.
The central political power resident at
w ashington thus far has been powerIess
In times when the popular feeling is
deeply moved, to exercise a controlling
influence in the Congressional districts,
and unless some new device is contrived,
the choice of electors would probably be
free from undue influence on the part of
the national administration. Of course it
will still be possible for the State board Of
canvassers to perpetrate frauds; but they
would necessarily be subjected to the
same scrutiny as now exists in regard to
members of Congress, and in practice no
garing abuse is found to exist in this
respect.
| If, therefore, it should be deemed
desirable to continue to choose the Pres
ident through the intermediary agency Of
electors, it would seem indispensable tc
substitute the district for the genera
q ticket system now in vogue. The objection
. to the district system is that the large
5 States will loose their preponderatinl
influence in the choice of President. Blu
a in fact there has heretofore been no sucl

perpetuate it. If any one State coult

EDITOR BULLETIN:-It seems 70 be

Halliday and Korsmeyer will be their
own successors as School Directors.
These gentlemen deserve this recogni~
ton from the public for the interest they
have manifested IN every measure cal,
culated to promote the efficiency OF our
school system. For the position made
vacant by the death OF Mr.. Stafford several
gentlemen have been mentioned through
the newspapers and upon the streets,
either OF whom would reflect credit upon
the board, and prove valuable acquisi.
ton to its councils. The late Mr.. Saf>
ford, although childless himself-with-
out the incentive which excites interest
in the parent--was a maniiicent and de>
voted friend OF public education. His
utter unselfishness in all the affairs of
life was nowhere better illustrated than
In this. Our public schools
were his pet. Upon every matter per-
tanning to their condition or improvement
his advice was always sought; and his
individual action toward them was ss
generous as his advice was valuable.
While Cairo recognized in him a model
citizen, the friends of the public schools
knew in him benetactor. What more
appropriate selection could be made tor
the vacancy than the lady who, by virtue
OF her relations with him, knew his every
thought on the subject; who sympa-'
thlzed with and encouraged him in all
his benevolent designs and actions; OF
Mrs. Sanord's qualifications to be her
husbands successor in the School Board
there can not be two rational opinions,
If she can be induced to accept the posi-
ton, the people OF Cairo, by placing
her there, will be paying deserved trit-
ute to the memory OF one of their best
citizens and a gracious compliment to
the lady herself, while comforting last.

The arrangement between. the city and

which Levee street above Eighteenth is

to the people OF Cairo that Capt. w. p.

consider III immently proper that these
gentlemen should continue as members
Of The board. They are both thoroughly
identified with the best Interests OF our
schools, and TO them Ia due In a great
measure the success that has attended
them during the last few years;
and so long as they are willing to give
the schools their time and attention they
should be KEEP. on the board Of directors.
