each person voted for rs President re-
ccives in any State shall be ascertaincd
by multiplying his entire popular vote
there by the whole number Of the clecto-
raj votes OF the State and dividing the
product by tho aggregate popular vote OF
the State for all persons voted for as
President, and the quoticht shall be the
number Of electoral votes and fractions
thereof to which such persons shall be
entitled, using for such fractions three
tlecimals and no more. The amendment
is designed to preserve the relative pow
CT Of the smaller states. The committee
say on this subject: :" The small states
are now ,oversloughed by the present
electoral system. 1t has happened al
ready thai the vote of New York cast
solid by tho general ticket has decided
the election by a few thousand majority
and has not only settled the question for
tho million voters of the state OF New
York, but against a majority the other
way of eight millions who are voters of
the United States. The practical effect OF
the electoral system has been to increase
the relative Importance and power OF the
large states, and the practice of voting
by general ticket was introduced by the
large states for that, purpose, and when
Introduced all were compelled to follow
it," Representative unton, of the COM
mittce, proposed an amendment in SUBJ.
stance that in case of dispute in any
state as to the electoral vote. the election
shall be decided by the highest judicial
tribunal Of such state, and the vote shall
be counted unless both houses shall en-
clude it. Although 10 serious objection
was intcrrosed by the committee to this
:,nlendnleht. the committee did not vote
on it. 1t is the opinion Of the members
of the committee that the proposed
amendment to the constitution will not
receive. the appreciation of Congress, two
thirds of both branches being required
to propose it to the states for adoption

STATE AND CITY GOVERNMENT ISDoKsED.
MONROE, April 1O.-A large mass meet
ing of the citizens of Monroe, called by
the chairman Of the Democrat Executive
Committee to- nominate u candidate for
Mayor ut the ensuing city election in
May, WAS held to-day ut the Courthouse.
The meeting was the fullest ever held OF
| the kind in Monroe. Mr.. S. II. McEnery
offered the following preamble and rcso-
lutions:
Whereas, the SUCCESS of the Democratic
party at the general election III SIC has
been Il cause OF congratulation Tor all
good citizens Of the State of Louisiana !;
aud
Whereas, said party has faithfully kept
its pledges in making needed reforms. so
far as practie4blc, in all departments of
tic State Government; and
Whereas, the city government under
Democratic rule has been, economical
and just, the rights OF all classes prcscrv-
cd irrespective OF color or party atii liza
ton, and in order to carry out the sue
cessful redemption Of the State and city
Government IRON the misrilie Inaugural
ted by the Radical party; there is a ne
cessity for the Democratic party to be
united; therefore, be it
Rcsolred, That we deprecatc any indie
pendent movement or third party forlna-
lions, and emphatically declare that all
such movements are the offspring of Il
selfish ambition and attempt to subvert
the general good and to subordinate the
welfare of the people to individual az
abandonment. Such movements are OH
ly attempted by disappointed politicians,
Il class who live upon the hope of obtain
ing Office, aud are willing to sacrifice
honor and principle, and to affiliate with
any party that holds out tho induccment
of obtaining the same.
2. That at the ensuing city election we
will class all persons who attempt to or
ganize an Independents ticket as, Radicals.
and attempting to revive the Radical
party . -
3. That we dcnounce any attempt to
bring into the city canvass any other is
she than those of purely local character.
IL. G. Cobb, seconded by Franklin Gar
rctt, moved to strike out all of tho pre-
amblc beginning with the word faithful
ly, which motion was supported by II. G..
Cobb, Franklin Garrett and w. =. Rem
wick, who particularly .arraigned the
Legislature for falling to call conven-

is something pleasant and Of soft
