TIE EpMUNDs ELECTORAL BILL,

Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, has
introduced bill to regulate the counting
of votes for President and Vice-Presi-
dent in the electoral college by Congress.
The bill provides that the electors of each
State shall meet on the second Monday in
January after their appointment. That
previous to such meeting each State may
determine any controversy arising in con-
nection with such electors, and that such
determination shall establish the lawful
title of the electors, and shall govern in
counting the electoral vote. Both houses
of Congress shall meet in joint session on
the second Wednesday in February to
count the electoral votes. Objections to
the counting of votes shall be made in
writing, and be submitted to each House
separately. If more than one return
from any State shall have been received
only the votes given by the electors ap-
pointed in conformity with this bill shall
be counted, and the two Houses acting
separately shall concurrently decide
which return is supported by the proper
State tribunal. No electoral vote from
any State from which only one return
has been received shall be rejected ex-
cept by the affirmative votes of both
Houses. In cases where there is more
than one return from State not sup
ported by the decision of State tribu-
nal, those votes only shall be counted
which the two Houses, acting separately,
shall concurrently decide to be the law
full votes of the legally appointed electors
of such State. The joint meeting of the
two Houses shall not dissolve until the
count is completed. This is very i'm
portant matter, and should be most care
fully and patriotically acted upon. The
present laws are undoubtedly defective
as regards not only the counting of the
ballots, but also the manner of casting
them. The whole system ought to be
changed. The vote for President by
States ought to be abolished, and a direct
vote of the people substituted. The
counting of this vote should be done by
State laws, and the vote in the United
States tabulated from the certified result
in the several States. This tabulation
should be made by each House of Con-
gress, under proper regulations and re.
strictions. Something should be done as
to the whole subject, but this is not the
time to do it, for a political campaign is
now before the country, and too much
partisanship would go into any measure
which might be adopted. Especially
would it be uusafe to adopt any scheme
which is presented by SO insidious and
cunning a partisan as the Republican
giant of Vermont. Taken all together,
we think the country can afford to put
up with the old laws until the approach
ing election is over, and then such chang
es as are necessary can be made with eau
ton and an absence of campaign inau-
ences.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The London Tines, in an article on the
Panama Ship Canal, says: "The Monroe
Doctrine, even in its most restricted
shape, has never been admitted into the
law of nations. Certainly no such ex-
treme Interpretation has yet been ut
tempted to be fastened upon it by Amer
leans as it is made to bear in President
Hayes's message to Congress aud the
resolutions of the select committee of the
House of Representatives. According to
these two statements, had the Columbian
Confederation itself taken charge of the
project the United States would have
been justified in prohibiting the work.
That the United States by furnishing the
money should obtain special right to
watch over the safety and peaceable use
of the new channel is what Europe and
particularly Great Britain would most Of
all desire, but the world is entitled to ask
the United States to make up their minds
either to let NJ. DeLesseps do the thing
himself by the resources at his command
or to charge themselves with the task"
This subject is likely to attract eonsid-
erable interest among the leading ma
tions, and may lead to nervous complica-
tions, if not to war itself. The United
States has clearly announced its positions
and although European nations do not
recognize our right to the position, still
we have no doubt that our government
will insist upon and maintain it, for the
supremacy and future safety of the
United States depends upon perpetuating
the Monroe Doctrine,

The Legislature of Mississippi has
passed an act imposing an annual tax of
three dollars each upon all bachelors in
that State who are over the age of twen-
ty-fye years. 1t is to be presumed the
object of the law is to encourage matri-
mony, and to raise revenue at the same
time. We have heard of many farcical
things, even from legislators, but certain
ly no such ridiculously puerile measure
has ever before found its way into the
statute books of any State.
