GALVESTON VS.. NEW ORLEANS.

Galveston. II, indeed, u corporation may be
said to have soul. Her Inevitable doom
grows more and more apparent wlththe lay
Ing of each iron rail that draws New Orleans
and Houston nearer together, and the con.
sternation Of her citizens Ia apparent In the
desperate attempts made In her journals to
bolster up the clty's rapidly waning pros
poets. Nearly ono entire page Of the last
Issue Of the Texas journal Of Commerce, pub
lished ut Galveston, Ia devoted to sh owing
the extraordinary advantages or that port,
itS pre-eminent superiority over every other
Texas port. and also the utter absurdity Of
New Orleans pretending to compete with Il
as cotton shipping point. The writer Of
the article referred to may be regarded as u
genius In his way, and the manner In which
he suppresses all the drawbacks to Galveston
as shipping port and brings forward into
dlsagreeable prominence all the set-backs
Of New Orleans IL calculated to deceive the
Marines but cannot impose upon the sailors
for moment.
What Galveston harbor may be made In the
distant future. by liberal expenditure OF mon
ey to dig out It's bar, IL one thing, and what 1t
isinow is another and very different thing.
1t is quite possible that In the time to come
Galveston may be made something more than
q resort for vessels OF light draft, but 1t Is
very certain that there Ii no harbor there
now for ships Of deep draft, and that an an
chorage In the open gulf where the fierce
northers that visit the Texas coast only too
frequently may at any moment drive vessels
ashore, 10 not exactly the place captain
would care to wait the slow and expensive
process OF unloading and loading his ship.
Such Is the dread entertained by captains Of
that sort OF an anchorage, and Of the tedious
delays almost invariably encountered In OBJ
tanning cargo at Galveston, that 1t Is with
the greatest difficulty they can be In
duoed to go there. and they prefer
to lose 1-32 Of cent per pound rather
than be compelled to go there for cargoes
Only few days ago shipping house OF this
city dispatched two vessels, the Prince Leo
pold and the Prince Arthur, with full loads Of
cotton, after both Of them had waited In vain
f.F several weeks at Galveston for freight,
and had been compelled to come here. The
statistician OF the journal of Commerce goes
into figures pretty extensively to prove that
ships will save large sums OF money by load
ing at Galveston. and gives various expenses
incurred BY ships at both that port and New
Orleans. His figures are not correct, though
the errors as to our charges donot materially
change the actual result and we do not pro

ELEOTING THE PRESIDENT.

The extraordinary evasion Of the peoples
will, as expressed at the ballot-box. In the
last presidential election and the ease with
which 1t was demonstrated frauds could be
committed under the present electoral system
have brought thinking men to the conclusion
that an extreme change In the method Is
needed. II we would not see our representative
government sink into contempt and become
a by-word among the nations Of the EARTH
We have before US pamphlet written by
Augustus D. Jones. entitled "The True
Method OF Electing the President and Vice
President OF the United States, being review
OF past and present systems, and Of the sew
eral plans proposed, and submitting a
method maintaining all the virtues OF the
electoral system, and adjusting the presiden-
tlal vote to the popular vote with almost alb
solute exactness; together with a fund OF
political information and various statistical
facts and deductions based upon the popular
and electoral votes Of 1876" The title indi-
Gates the scope OF the authors Views upon
political subject Of very great general interest
to the American people. and is entirely free
from partisan or sectional bias. A constitu-
tional amendment Is embodied In this
little volume, which amendment was
sent to, Congress by the author dur
Ing the extra session In October, 1877,
and was presented to the Senate by Mr.
Garland and to the House by Mr. Oravens.
In brief, the True Method would abolish the
electoral colleges and substitute presidential
votes, each State to have as many as 1t has
Senators and Representatives In Congress-,
the people Of each State to vote directly for
President, and each persons share OF the
presidential vote to be ascertained by the fol-
lowing process taking the vote of Michigan
In 1876 as an example: Hayes received 1868
popular votes, Tilden IA, 100, Cooper aO6O.

divide by the 3l762s popular votes of the
State, shows Tilden's share to be 4ss9; and In
the same manner Cooper's share Is found to be

The Feeling IN Indiana.

A special from Shelbyville to the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
The ticket, Hancock and English,
is a very hard morsel for the Demo
Gratis here to swallow. The "Old
Bourbons" are much disappointed
over the iDglorious defeat of "Old
Shelby's" favorite son. and do no,
take kindly to the ticket nominated.
Hancock is we'll. remembered by his
Catholic friends as the individual
who refused Nancy Surratt the
privilege of having priest attend
her in the last hours of her life, and
they will continue thinking of him
as they did then. A prominent
Democrat, In business here, before
the nomination was made known,
gave vent to these rtmarSs: II
hope to God that Hancock will not
be the nominee. | was one of his
soldiers, and more cold hearted,
selfish, sterile man I never met.
When in camp he would never con-
descend to speak to private, always
passing them with a proud, over
bearing, and naughty demesnor."

Letter from j. Stoddsrd Johnston
to the Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoman,
written before the nomination:
1--WE want statesman, not q sol.
dier. The idea that Hancock could
command the vote of one Federal
soldier, which any civilian as can.
didate would not secure, is all folly.
/ know all about this. When Long.
street went over to the Republicans
he told Gen. Hood and Gen. Gibson
the night before he made this sufcid
al plunge: "My whole corps will
follow me-" Instead of this, not a
man went with him, and 90 1t will
be with Hancock, l fear. The effort
to get votes for the Democratic party
by putting him up will arouse such
q feeling against him for wishing to
utilize his war record TO that end,
that it will only make the non Demo
cratic soldier element more active
and bitter in its opposition. There
is feeling Of admiration and graft
tude to Hancock on the part OF the
South which gives him many friends,
particularly from Louisiana and
Texas. but they will see the force Of
the argument as stated here, and go
ultimately TO Bsyard."
