Judge Bouie, Of Montgomery county,
in the sixth Judicial district, has submitted
to the Legislature report embracing the
workings Of his court aud some recommen-
dations 10 regard to court expenses. As
to the hitter the Judges suggestions look
to reduction Of expenses of litiganis in
court, and to a reduction Of taxes in cut
ting down the per diem Of jurors from two
dollars aud fifty cents to one dollar. The
reduction Of the pay'of jurors is matter
which affects all tax payers. Jurors form
erly served for one dollar day, and there
is no reason why they should get two aud
half times that amount now, whom every
thing is as cheap as then. Witnesses
only receive a dollar day, and as far as
loss Of time and expense Is concerned,
stand upon the same footing with jurors.
If the services Of one is worth but one
dollar day, that Of the other is worth no
more, Id evil suits individuals pay wit.
nesses and the State pays the jurors. II
citizens arc obliged to serve each other at
one dollar day, why cannot they serve
the State at the same rates
A reduction Of the per diem Of jurors
would result to the public advantage other
than in the matter Of saving expenses,
The professional juryman would have no
temptation IN the way Of salary, and the
anxious jurors would not be finding fault
with the authorities for not selecting them
upon the jury, hence better men would be
secured.
We always favor fair compensation for
labor, but compensation for similar services
should be uhiform. At present the inc
quality of pay is too great. Look at it.
For attendance aswitness before a magis.
trate, witnesses often having to travel
eight and ten and twenty miles, 80 cents
for attendance as witness at court, 81 for
service as juror, $3.50.
No one would be willing to have wit
nesses' per diem raised to $3.50, for suits
would be all to expensive, yet the service
Of witness is worth as much as that of a
juror Then as the service Is similar, il
would only be just to have the rompensa-
tion OF witnesses and jurors equal

A dispatch to the New York Saa, dated
Washington, January 10, says:-The move
ment in the New York Legislature 10 change
the established practice OF choosing electors
for President by general ticket has produced
profound impression in all political circles
here at the capital. To suppose that so grave
proposition could be veutured without hay
ing been well considered and matured by the
Republican leaders, or that It is merely ten
tative, with view Of testing public opinion
on hazardous political expedient, would be
absurd.
The bill was Introduced without any pre-.
yious announcement, and was surprise to
both parties not in the secrets Of the mana.
gers, This fact is of itself significant as TO
the design of the scheme. 0nly the faithful
few who run the machine and who dictate the
party policy, with their staff in the Legisla.
lure, were permitted to know when and BY
whose hand the trap was to be sprung into
which the unwary and the feebly protesting
moderates will ultimately iall
The inspiration Of this trick, to take away
from the body Of the people OF New York
their accustomed privilege of voting squarely
for a full ticket Of electors, which is the near.
est approach to voting directly for the Presi
dent OF their choice, is easily traced Mr..
Conkling last fall, and on previous occasions,
assumed the Democratic theory OF the Pres-
deniial campaign TO rest on the following
basis. Given 1873 votes from the solid South,
add Indiana, Is, and New York, S5, and the
Democratic candidate would be elected by 3
majority. Therefore, said he, New York is
the necessary factor to make this calculation
a success. Hence the importance Of breaking
the column by hook or by crook, ia order TO
elect Republican. To that object, above
and beyond all others, Mr.. Conkling's efforts,
ability, and boldness have been directed.
The last three elections have demonstrated
that the Republican party, under his manage
meni, Is 10 a minority on the popular vote .
The figures are worthy Of notice. Here they

These consecutive expressions at the ballot
box have informed Mr.. Conkling that his
machine electors for President cannot be
chosen this year, if proper candidate be
nominated by the opposition.
Mr.. Conking proposes BY revolutionary
trek 20 overthrow the eonseerated usage in
New York, and to strike down the popular
mode OF appointing electors, now accepted all
over the Union. Or, in other words. he In.
tends 10 repeal the present law Of general
ticket, and to substitute for il an election by
Congressional districts under the existing an
portionmenL BY this he would expect 10
carry nineteen or twenty Of the thirty-three,
even il the two electors at large were carried
by the Opposition. %
II this programme should succeed, the
Democratic calculation, as stated by Mr..
Conkling, Of the solid South, backed by In
diana aud New York, would be upset, and
the Republican chance TO elect candidate
would be largely increased. Itmay be asked,
Will Mr.. C0nkling dare to drive this mea-
sure through, and thus 70 defy public opion-
ionl Certainly be will do il, because Il Is
the only mode BY which his aim can Be com
passed, If at all. With revolt against him
by the young scratchers and anti. third term
ers inevitable, and defeat staring him in the
face before the people, he is forced to this
resort OF circumTenting free and full vote.
of course the Republican Legislature, with
majority Of two-thirds in the Senate and
more than three Gfths in the House, will do
whatever the leaders may order. Discipline
and dictation have made them obedienf in.

Strong Man for third 'yerm looms up at full
length. He cannot carry New York If the
people are allowed to vote their true senti-

Of the State By transferring the choice to ger

The Feeling in York County.
SpR1NcyALE. Nav %. 1880.

SPRINGvALE, May %, 1880.
Mr.. EDIroR,-I saw by this mornings PRESS
what purports to be the doings of number of
Republicans from each town in York county,
who met in Biddeford yesterday. Your cor
respondent had the honor of represen ting this
town in part in said committee; therefore be-
ing on the ground, of course he knows what
took place. There were present. in the hall
thirty-ive gentlemen. A call was made for a
list of towns in the county to be called, which
was somewhat resisted by gentleman from
Biddeford, but it was made and gentlemen
from ten towns responded. The city of Saco,
with its large Republican majority, was not
represented. Neither were fifteen other towns
in the county. The towns that were repre-
sented were those which lay mostly on the
Eastern and Boston s. Maine railroads. There
was no fair expression of the sentiment OF the
Republicans of York, as it was evident that
those who thought it for the best interest of
the r epublican party that Mr.. Reed be re-
turned to Congress from this district were not
expected there. There were few of them
there, however, and they had the matter ven
tilated to some extent, and on a motion to in
uohhitoiy postpoHe tuo ienoiution, eho 'olo
stood to 10, and on its final passage stood II
to IA.
1t is evident to your correspondent that the
whole move was made by few, and does not
represent the sentiment of the Republicans of
this county. AS far as my inquiries have ex-
tended in the middle and western parts of the
county, the Republicans have long ago settled
down upon the presumption that Mr.. Reed
would be the next candidate from this district,
and your correspondent has no doubt but that
he is the first choice of great majority of the
Republican voters in this county. H.
