A HUCH NEEDED REF0RK-T00 MANY
ELECTIONS.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS this is day for reform,
more especially in politics, we have, on ma,
ture consideration, come to the conclusion
that there is no department of the Govern
ment in which reform is more needed than
that of popular elections. That too fire..
quent elections before the people have q
demoralizing tendency. there can be no
question. 1t gives rise to all sorts Of schem-
ing and wire pulling, and log rolling, all
behind the curtain, ofcourse, for the pur-
pose ofinfuencing and controlling popular
elections. So common has this become at
Washington, that all sorts of frauds and cor
ruption are tolerated and encouraged, if
thereby party triumph can be secured
and so bold and unscrupulous have the
party leaders become in such corrupt prac-
tices, in the long dark past, and with such
perfect impunity, that these party corrup-
tions finally eliminated in the greatest
fraud ever perpetrated in the history of the
world, on whole people, by stealing the
Presidency from the man chosen to the
office by the electoral and popular vote,
and giving it to another not elected. This
monstrous fraud has arrested the earnest
attention of thinking people all over the
land, and already has it been proposed in
high quarters, that tho Constitution shall
bs changed in respect to the election of
President, and that he shall held his Office
for six years, and shall not be re-eligible.
And we believe that to-day if such apropo-
sition were submitted to the decision of the
people of the United States, on its own
merits, that it would be adopted by an over
whelming majority. The remedy for the
evil, and the only remedy in popular gov
ernments, is to render popular elections less
frequent, with longer tenure Of office.
Coming on down to our State government,
the same principle would apply with equal
force. Instead of electing State officers
every two years, double their time of Office
and re-Slect only every four years, and
then make the sessions of the Legislature
bi-annual instead of annual and in all pro-
bsbility we will be much better governed,
ut much less expense. The great evil with
all our legislative bodies is, that they at
tempt to govern too much. They are e1-
pected to educate the people, and after
awhile itmay be gravely proposed that the
government shall establish religion for
the people. Whereas, the true theory Of
government is simply to provide the ways
and means by which the people can do all
these things, and more for themselves.
And this principle of reform which has
been shown to be so necessary in our Ma
tional and State Governments, can be pro-
fitably applied to oil our county elections.
OF course, these great changes and others
equally necessary would necessitate the call
of Constitutional Convention hence, the
broaching of the subject now cannot have
any effect upon the approaching fall cleo
ton, but these thoughts are thrown out,
that the public mind may take hold Of
them, and if there be any virtue in them,
accept it, ifnot, cast them aside.

A CARD.

MR. EDITOR: Allow US through the col
umns of your paper to express to you our
appreciation of your kindly mention of the
death of our son, Guy o. Hammond; also
our heartfelt gratitude to the people of
Anderson who contributed 30 much to his
comfort and enjoyment when in their midst,
and have extended to us words of sympa-
thy and respect and to the people Of Horse
Cove, n. G., who alleviated the loneliness of
his last hours with such tenderness and
care, that though strangers, they proved
themselves friends of humanity, bound by
the strong cords of love to God and man.
Rest assured such kindness and attention
will never be forgotten, and assuages in a
measure the anguish We feel that we were
denied the coveted privilege of ministering
to the necessities Of his last days and hours.
Mr.. & Mrs. Z. 8. HAMMOND,

EQUALITY, >. T., July ~, 1873.
HON. r. w. S1MPsoN-Dear Sir: I'VE,
your friends, believe that the people
should choose their own representatives,
and that they should select the very best
men, without reference to whether they
desire it or not. This is what Gov.
Hampton says. Then can you, although
you have declared yourself publicly not
to be candidate for any position, refuse
to serve the people when they desire it.
We approve of your course as our repre-
sentative for tho past four years. We
know you have served your constituents
faithfully. We know something of your
ability, and of the influence you have
exerted in the House. Now, we wish to
show to you that we appreciate what you
have done for US by electing you to the
Senate, and for that reason we take this
means of formally asking you, if you are
nominated for this position at the pri-
mary election, will you consent to serve?
We beg leave to assure you that from
what we have learned from different sec
tions Of the County, the majority of the
people wish to elect you Senator, and we
hope you will consider seriously before
you rlsfuse to accede to our views.
