that neither they nor any party

gain again. But the same diff
culties are liable to arise in ev-
ery close Presidential election,
and the public men of neither
party can be excused if they do
not unite to make some adequate
provision for such emergencies.
The loose and bungling methods
which have heretofore obtained
in counting the electoral votes
must be replaced by precise and
we'll guarded legislation on that
subject. Ifno other good should
result from the present nause-

so arouse the public mind to the

A MIsTAKE.-We were deceived
into pronouncing unfavorable
comments upon the action Of the
Constitutional Convention, on
the faith Of a private letter from
what we regarded as 4 reliable
source, which declared speciti-
calIy that no Democrat was
elected to an office or appointed
chairman Of \ committee IN the
Convention, save one Of the
messengers. The published pro-
ceedings, which we received this
morning, show that Col. LARA
bee was assigned the chairman
ship Of the most prominent COM
mittee thus far appointed, and
is represented as the most prom
inent figure in the Convention.
We cannot understand how eur
correspondent could have made
80 palpable a mistake, or what
object he could have had in mis-
representing the proceedings of
the Convention and thus placing
us in a false position.

Constitutional Convention

Constitutional Convention.
Ten days after its convening
we have Just received the news
os the organization of the Con
stitutional Convention. Not
withstanding the disclaimer of
party during the canvass, a pri-
vate letter from Walla Walia
SAYS the convention was organ
lied exclusively on Il party basis;
all the officers are Republicans
and no Democrat is chairman of
one OF the numerous commit
tees. This is little singular in
view of the fact that Colonel
Larrabee. elected from a Repub-
lican district without opposition,
and unquestionablyt most ex-
perienced man in the Convcn-
tion, having served in the Con-
stitutional Convention of Wis
cOnsin, one term in Congress
and ten years on the Supreme
and Circuit bench of that State,
is excluded from the chairman
ship of any committee excia-
sively on party groun"s, to-
yether with Mr.. Frank Henry.
who is certainly not inferior in
ability to any member Of the
Convention. and Mr.. Emery,
whose education is equal 10 any,
.. 7. Lacy, an experienced ie--s
islato", and Dolph llama. the
peer in intelligence OF the Pres
ideEt OF the Convention. The
Legislature did al. III lis power
to make the Convention an ~
yanized fizzle, but We hoped
trulu the character Of the l& e
gates elected that 4 c0nst tuition
would be presented free from
the ta.nt OF party. Mr.. Andrews
beiore leaving hcme, publicly
expressed his determination 10
act free OF party, and Suggested
the idc;. t.iai as the Eepuolicans
had a majority OF the Conven-
tion it would be good policy to
give the Democrats the presid-
ing officer, or at least an equal
share Of the offices. that all
party feeling might be allayed
when the constitution was pre-
sented for popular endorsement.
1t was also supposed that Judge
Dennison, who was elected with
out opposition, would act inde-
pendent of party. But all such
reasonable hopes have been dis
slpattd by the action Of the
Convention thus far. The Re
publicans found they had nine
to six of the members; the par
ty machine was set up and eau
Gus dictation established as the
rule for the government Of the
Convention, regardless of the
effect it would nave upon the
adoption Of the constitution. 1t
seems almost impossible to in
duce old machine politicians to
discharge any public function
free from party test. We still
hope, in spite of all these un-
toward circumstances, that such
a constitution will be presented
as the people may endorse with
out party dictation.

Cheap Currency.

NcI Ulll " CHc III ~ VI CuuO SiA
millions Of the new silver dol
lars had been coined and only
three hundred thousand had
cone into actual circulation. The
great bulk of the coin lies in the
vaults of the treasury without
any means of getting it into cir
culation. This demonstrates be-
yond peradventure the fact that
the Government is powerless in
relieving the demands of the
people for a greater amount OF
the circulating medium than the
laws of trade demand. The
country has more money now
than it has commodities to buy
money with. Never before was
there SO large an amount Of
money in the country as at pres
ent, or when money could be
borrowed at less rates of inter-
est on approved security. 1t
may be observed as uniform
rule that commercial depression
invariably follows financial infla-
ton. The great complaint to-
day in financial circles is, the
lack Of safe investments for sur
plus capital. During the great
commercial panic Of 1857, when
nearly all the great industrial
enterprises of the country were
suspended, the bank vaults were
overlooking with accumulated
capital, and millions Of dollars
were invested in securities
which only paid from three to
five per cent. annual interest.
During the following winter,
the great cities We're overrun
with people out of employment,
who had to be fed and housed
by organized charities. A veal
thy man in Boston, on being ap-
piled to for aid for that object,
replied that he could not afford
to give cent; that he had over
$500, 600 IN bank upon which he
had not had q cent of interest
for six months, and cor sequent-
Iv he was without income suffi
cient for his own support. The
same state OF things exist to-
day. A deprecated currency
which has been the basis of all
business transactions for the last
sixteen years, has resulted, as
was its inevitable tendency, in
inflated values, reckless specula-
tions, and large accumulations in
the hands of the money-chang
ers. The apparent prosperity of
the country FASTENED the crisis
which must ever follow fictitious
values. The accumulation Of
money made it the central and
controlling power in the land,
which dominated labor, trade
and commerce, and capitalists
the governors of all. The same
rule prevails throughout the
world-wherever money is the
most abundant, the disparity be-
tween the wealthy and the
poorer classes is the greatest; !;
the first are fewer and the last
are more numerous in proper
tion to population. In no coun-
try of the world is money more
abundant and labor cheaper than
in China, and the same rule fol
lows through all the countries
of Asia and Europe, and We
have seen in this country, that
just in proportion to the aggre-
gate increase Of money, have
the rich become richer and the
poor poorer; the whole tend
ency of the increase being to
Capitalization, as in case Of po-
litical power. The present stag
nation of business and lack Of
circulating medium in the ordi-
nary channels Of trade, is not

Tho Potter Investigation,

be u remedy" the New York
Herald says the Potter lnvesti-
cation, with its wearisome repe-
titions of what was known in
substance before, and it's disgust
ing revelation OF new details,
emphasizes q duty which was
already sufficiently plain and ur-
gent. There was not needed any
new inquiry or any further un-
covering of disgraceful facts to
convince the country that our
loose method Of ascertaining the
result of a Presidential election
will no longer do. Its made
quacy was fully demonstrated
when Congress adopted the
makcshitt of an Electoral Com
mission. That mode of extrica-
ton will never be tried again.
The purely technical ground on
which the decision turned, the
general conviction that if the
evidence Of fraud had not been
excluded by the astute and con
venient dlilMde; the belief of all
Democrats and some Republi-
cans that one pair Of candidates
was elected and a different pair
inauguratcd, and-thOu@h last,
not least-the recent thickening
proofs of perjury, forgery and
villany which keep the question
alive for Years after it should
have been closed, make it i'm
possible that recourse should
ever again be had to any such
makeshift as an Electoral Com
mission.
But tits none the less true that
the Electoral Commission saved
the country from a new civil
war-a civi! war that wocld
have been t'raught with deeper
horror than that which was
waged between the North and
the South. The war of the re-
bellion had the usual mitigations
Of n foreign war between con-
tumacious nations. But civil
war growing out of a disputed
Presidential election would eX-
tend into every county in the
United States, arraying neigh
Dor against neighbor and brother
against brother. and making a
mans foes those OF his own
household when they happened
to differ in politics.
1t is our confident belief that
the Electoral Commission was
wise makeshift, although one
that can never be adopted a sec
ond time. 1t succeeded because
both political parties pledged
their honor to accept the result,
aud honor is yet word Of force
with the majority Of our public
men. No great praise is due to
the Republicans, who carried off
the prize; but it is our firm be-
lief that if the Electoral Com
mission had decided against
them they would have kept
their pledge. The submission
of the Democrats was con-
spicuous act Of public virtue. 1t
was never questioned that they
had a large majority of the pop
ular vote, and facts warranted
their belief that it was by fraud
and forgery that they were de-
prived Of a majority of the elec-
toral votes. Their unfiinching
adherence to the pledge they
had given to abide by the decis-
ion of the Electoral Commission
unless both houses Of Congress
should concur in rejecting it,
was, therefore, a creditable ex-
hibition of fidelity to an engage
ment.

will not violate the compact
which they made it is certain
