A NEW ELECTION PLAN.

The A,nericdia--a very able journal, by the
way--of Philadelphia, proposes a new plan
for electing Presidents, which, briefly, is to
"let the electors meet in National convention
instead of State colleges. Let them take an
oath that they are free from pledges to any
particular candidate, and are at liberty to
vote for any citizen whom they may think fit
for the place, and that they will exercise their
choice to secure such a man. And then let
them make the choice" 1t is amazing that a
Journal of the standing of the Americaa
should seriously propose such plan as this.
II would virtually take the election from the
hands of the people and place the whole ma
chinery of government at the disposal of the
leading capitalists of the country. Expert
ence has taught the American people that it
cannot trust conventions. With an I'M
pledged National convention elec,ing Presi-
dent the spectacle of Jay Gould in the White
House, or some other leading capitalist,
might be reasonably expected. 1t is a sufli-
GENTLY disgraceful spectacle for the people to
witness when they see their State conven-
tons and Legislatures subjected to the in
fuences of monied manipulators, without
running the risk OF. having the highest and
most honorable eflice within their gift con-
taminated by the same shameful contact
Whenever the election of the President
passes ont OF the hands of the people the
government will also cease forever TO be a
power created by the masses ruled by it. II
will simply be an institution established for
the sole benefit of the rich, and the White
House will simply become do or mat on which
TO clean the feet OF capital.

WAsHENGro<. u. c.. Dec. Goth,

WAsHENGroN. u. C.. Dec. Goth, 1850.
4 fiery gentleman like Mr.. Beck sometimes has
his way for Il day or two in the Senate, but very
soon the customary dignity and heaviness of the
body assert themselves. An elephant could
dance on tight rope with as much grace as the
Senate could transact in any but the deliberate
and orderly manner customary with,it One day
last week Mr.. Beck clamored v0citerously against
holiday recess, and when the House resolution
came over proposing an ADJOURNMENT for two
weeks. he denounced il loudly. Some of the
Senators, perhaps awakened by the noise voted
against the resolution. But day or two OF con-
sderation, and recollection that there has
almost always been two weeks recess, will
change all that. | expect the vote of last weeEs
will be reversed this evening or tomorrow. and
that Congress will stand adjourned from tho 22dI
OF December 10 the 9Th fJanuary.
Among Department clerks here there is grow
ing feeling OF uncertainty about the security of
their positions. am at Il loss to know what has
produced so great Il change from the confidence
of Il month ago. For twenty years nearly all the
changes among these subordinate officials have
accrued through death or resignation. 1t may be
that the application of competitive tests 70 those
already in office, as we'll as those applying, is
pected TO be part OF President Garfield's system
of civil service reform. That would seem 10 be
eminently proper if Congress is to be asked for
making such positions permanent.
The course of President Hayes in sending q
to the Poncas to ascertain the facts
in regard to theirrccent removal and thor wishes
as to the future, is much commended. 1t was
certainly unfair TO the Indians to act upon the
ports sent here by SubOrdinatcs OF Secretary
SchurZ as to their TN Twill ingness to remain where
they now are, and it was unfair to the Secretary
to act officially upon stories of a contrary char
acter,' however strongly supported. The Pres
dent has acted judiciously in seeking the truth
from an entirely new source. His act, however,
must be considered, in some respects, a reflection
upon the official conduct of Secretary Schurz.
General Beale the friend with whom ex-Presi
dent Grant stopped when here lately, is authority
for the statement that the latter contemplates no
with any business enterprise what
ever except the Nicaragua Canal. ---
Secretary Sherman's friends say that Fosters
withdrawal from the Senatorial contest, while
not necessary to the success Of their candidate,
will remove every vestigc of doubt that may have
in any Ohio mans mind. .-ssf

will govern in the matter, have no doubt what

A NEW FINANCE BILL.

vides that legal tender notes OF denomina-

hereafter presented for redemption, shall not
he rcissned. The bill directs the Secretary
Of the Treasury to substitute notes of the
same character, but of higher denominations,
for the smaller netes, and also to issue
greenbacks to the amount of the standard
silver dollars coined each month. II
is thought, by the advocates Of this new
inance bill, that the withdrawal of all green
backs of o less denomination than FIVE dsllars
will create demand for silver coins and small
change, and empty the Treasury vaults Of
standard dollars The bill was introduced in
the Senate by Hill, of Colorado, and in the
House Of Representatives by Bedford, Of the
same State, and it is thought that it will be
passed at this session.

THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT

There has been much talk over the pro-
posed division of the Second Judicial District.
The following from the Reno Journal will be
of interest to all concerned. The APPEAL
has never discussed the matter from the very
solid reason that its editor is entirely
unacquainted with any of the points of the
case. The Journal says: g 1t seems to be a
.oregone conclusion that the next Legislature
will divide the Second Judicial District. The
proposition meets the approval of the repre-
sentatives of the three counties interested
There may be some difference of opinion as
to how the lines should be drawn, and the
salary the Judges shall receive; yet it would
seem that these matters ought to be settled
without difficulty. Ormsby and Douglas
could be joined in one District, and the terms
Of court SO arranged as not to seriously in
convenience the Judge or litigants, while the
same cannot be said of Washoe and any other
county that might be joined with it. Some
have suggested that Churchill be included in
the Washoe District. This we think would
be bad policy, for two reasons. First, it
would necessitate the reorganization of two
Districts, and if il be desirable to have the
law take effect Immediately, the resignation
and reappointment of two Judges; and sec
ondly, the people of Churchill could be bene,
lifted very little, if any, by the change, while
we fear the people of Washoe would be jump
ing out of the frying pan into the fire. Still
water is nearly the halfway station between
Austin and Reno, and the Judge can
reach there from Austin about as easy as he
could from Reno. We are therefore de-
cidedly in favor of having a separate District
for Washoe county; and of placing the salary
of the Judge at a fair figure for the service
required, and which, at the same time, shall
not be oppressive to the taxpayers.

NEVADA UNREPRESENTED.

If the Associated Press reports are
true, Nevada will be unrepresented IL
both Houses of Congress at Washing
ton to-day. There is no doubt of this,
so far as the Senate is concerned, as
Senator Jones of Nevada, and Sharon
of California are both on this coast, but
there seems to be some doubt as to Mr.
Daggett's whereabouts. The telegraph
dispatches sent him off to Europe with
the Bonanza King, J. w. Mackay,
while the newspapers say that he re-
manned in New York and will be in his
seat in the House of Representatives
to-day,
The people of Nevada ought to re-
joce over the defeat of Sharon, who
ever may be elected to succeed him.
Though he has not spent six months of
his time at Washington in the six years
he has been Senator, he entered the
lists for reelection, and the great Re-
publican organ of the STATE, as well as
several OF the smaller instruments,
actually approved his candidacy and
imagined that their readers had no more
sense than TO. follow their advice. If
Mr.. Sharon's successor takes no more
interest in tie State than he has done
then the people should demand his res
ignation and elect somebody who will

The second session Of the Forty-sixth
Congress convenes to-day at Washing

gress will expire by constitutional limi-
tation at midnight, March 3rd, 1881.
It is not usual for Congress to transact

prove an exception to, the rule. 1t is
not probable that much important Leg
islation will be enacted during the set

majority in. both Houses, should pass
an act to. reform the Civil Service.
This could be accomplished effectively
by a bill prohibiting the removal of any
Federal office holder except for incom-
potency or bad conduct An Act of
This character would certainly be APP
proved by Mr. Hayes, who undertook
islation by Congress. 1t would end the
levying of assessments on officials aud
Clerks for partisan purposes, as their
tenure of office would not depend on
The political complexion of the Admin
istraton, but upon their own behavior.
Regiments of Department Clerks and
Government employees, would not then
be sent, at the expense of the public
from Washington to the States from
which they were appointed to particl-
pate in primary meetings and elections,
because they could not be relied upon
to vote for the party in power, as they
would be entirely Independent of party.
The Democrats in Congress have a
splendid opportunity to place them
selves on the record III favor of such
REFORM. and if they do not improve it
by passing bills to that effect they will
show conclusively that they have not
been sincere. in their protestations
against assessing Federal office holders
for partisan purposes, and permitting
members Of the Cabinet and Chiefs of
Bureaus to travel through the country
making campaign speeches, while draw
ing salaries from the public purse, fer
performing specific duties for the Gov
eminent.

To SOFTEN the skin if rough, rub
clarified honey vigorously into the
parts affected, each time after washing,
and allow it to remain for at least an
hour. Then rub oil with cold cream.
INDIAN PUDDING.-Stir five spoon
fuls OF Indian meal into three pints of
boiling milk, add little salt, four WELL
beaten eggs. one cup sugar, teaspoon
full of ginger. Bake three hours; one
hour before taking out add one pint of
milk without stirring.
CAKE TO BE EATEN WARM FOR TEA.
Mix two teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der in one pound of fine flour. Rub in
a quarter of pound of butter, lard.
or clarified dripping, mix in quarter
of a pound granulated sugar, tea
spoonful of ground caraway seed, grated
lemon peel, or any other havOring.
When ready to bake, stir in as quickly
as possible two well-beaten eggs mixed
with gill and half of milk, or, if
convenient, cream. Put into a WELL
buttered tin, and bake in hot oven.

smiths and their masters what not to do.
Don't carve the frog; don't open the
heels; don't rasp the outside of the
hoof; don't cut the hoof to fit the shoe.
but, after shortening the toe, if needed,
fit the shoe to the foot" and so on, as
common sense dictates.
To MAKE VINEGAR.-1. Boil either
corn, wheat, barley or rye, about one
pint of the grain to q gallon of water,
strain, and to the liquor thus obtained
add strip or sugar until pleasantly
sweet. Let stand in warm place, and
YOU will soon have good vinegar. The
stronger and sweeter the liquor the
stronger will be the vinegar and the
longer in making. 2. Pack in a jar the
skins and cores of apples made in pre-
pairing pies and sauce, and cover with
boiling water. When another lot is
made, add them and more hot water till
the Jar is full. In warm weather set
the jar in the sun, carefully covered
with cloth; in cool weather in a warm
place in the house. The apples do not
rot at all. In six or eight weeks the
water is turned into excellent vinegar
and of an amber color. No yeast, nor
spirits, nor acids, nor sugar, nor mo-
lasses are needed-nothing whatever
but the skins and cores and water.
