IS ..I. - . . . . _ JJThe Representation of Minorities. "Wo 6co that JIjr. I^vid Dudley Field, hi^a recently delivered a loetuve in Boston, in advocacy of tbia now suffrage principle; and that tlao news-, paper press of overy felmde of political opinion, from tho Ropubiicau Tribune on ouo sid? to tho Democratic World on tho other, very generally urge its adoption, as tho only mode of carrying out tho true theory, and securing the just and pcrfcct wle of representation. It seems to Jbo just in principle, sitnpio in operation, and in its fifftiots would lik-elv tro far. to " " ' mf O" I wards purifying politic? of tho prevailing corruption. Accordiug to tho .present theory of representation in the United States tho majority alono rulo. Tho will of the minority finds no expression, and ^ exorta no influence in legislation. Practically however, as Mr. Field shows, owing to a certain distribution -of the electoral districts, the rcprc Bcntativcs 01 ft smaw minority are often in truth the ruling power, whilel another minority has no representation at all. Thus "in the State of New-York in 38GS the Democrats had a popular majority of 33,Gil, but eleetod only 52 members of Assembly, while the Republicans elected 7G. In Maryland the Democrats cast 02,357 votes and clected every member of both Houses l (111 in all), while the Republicans! polled 30,43S votes and elected nobody ' In California tlio Republicans cast a: majority of 515 votes, but only dec-' oq ,ftl.j ii,? I clcctcd 97. The whole number of votes east was 108.G70; but the districts wore so distributed that 02 1 Representatives, elected by only 34,&05 votes, could control the Government." Now according to the theory : of minority or proportional representation, it is designed to give expres- j Bion to the will of every fraction of tho body politic; giving a just repro- t Bentation to the whole people?its 1 controlling power to the majority, but ( still its duo influence to the minority. f zr i Ann . jliiu* ii tiiv.ii; uu ivvv JVL'|niuiivaii vot.os-a.nd 500 Democratic voters, the representation in the Legislative body would bo in the proportion of two Republicans to one Democrat. I Of the numerous plans proposed ( to socuro this minority representation, 3lr. Field gives his preference to two ?the Cumulative, and the system of Limited voting. "On the cumulative system each voter has as many votes as there are members to be elected, and he may cither distribute them among different candidates or unite thom all on otk*. Thus Massachusetts has 10 .Representatives in Congrese and about 200,000 voters. Each voter would. have 10 votes. Republicans and Democrats are divided in tho proportion of about two-thirds of the former and one-third of the latter If the Republicans wero to nominate 10 members, they could givo ^ach only 134,000 votes 3 if tho Democrats /i m m nlnfarl TTAf no A n A_ f Kni? nnill/1 uuwutawu vvsuva v,?? - - '-? give each 195,000. The result would be that tlio Republicans would nominate only 7 or 8 and tho Democrats 3 or 4, and cach party would bo fairly represented in proportion to its numbers." "Op tho plan of Limited voting, ? a... _ 1-ii-L r e. utu;ui vuwr cuttu) iv uuiiut IUI i^vur than the whole number of members to bo ehosen. Thus supposo there were 15 Aldermen to be chosen in the City of New-York on the general ticket; let it be provided that no one shall Vote for more tban 10 of the 15, and thfe minority will thus secure five tnembefs of tho Board." The principle to a limited extent has been incorporated in tho revised Constitution of New York, beinor an. y O plied to the election of the seven judges of the Court of Appeals; and the question with jfeir prospects of a CavoraMe result is now pending before the Constitutional Convention of Illinois. . A bill introduced last year into the United States Senate by Senator &nckale?r, *nd which provided that iaUaIA* nf ontt Qtatn uhnnlH ha entitled ft* a number of vote* equal to 'tbe irtmiber of representatives to be^dsentythc State, and be at liberty to ato* all such votes to one candidate, or distribato them equally or aneqnally among a greater namber of candidate*, received a favorable report from the Sanate Cotamittee, and is now pteding. In su^poH of their Jneport the oommittee assign "lour gteat reasons: (1) it if jusV(35) it will check corruption/ (3) ft will be a guarantee of p^ace/ana (4) it willjmproVQ . tioo to th? representation of minoii> ties, viz: that & ia oppqao& Atk the doctrine ahdjfrnle, ' they say, "it is preposterous, for it is one ^^a^^Dsmrtif the reform- ^ present we hare onlr the rnle of a. < majority, which vtwy afcffiwpdeteiite ] only a minority,. ? ?~i The syfMwttf Sintftpdi iTttfegT has been applied already to aom? of the ttonafitaeacict ip JmSUL Britain, and 1 . ; liamentv t0?9l ,2? ifo-t.)!* i / /'' i I Tun Kmpo&ium or fVintotiv?R?ad tho adv*?rtUomont of Mv.

The Barnwell-Blackvillb Case. ?Wo learn from tho Gnurdiun that Judge Melton has issued an order discharging tho rulo to show causo, and nas ueciuou against granting tho mandamus. He will in a few da}-8 file lilts opinion giving his reasons and authorities." It was admitted by tho Sec rotary of State, F. L. Cardoza, that ho had erased Barnwell and inserted Blackville in tho engrossed Act, to mako tlic law couform, as ho alleges to the Legislative, will as expressed by the Journals of the two Houses. Ilis counsel Messrs. Melton and Chamberlain argued that tho act was nugatory?in every view of the matter, that to restore the Act, or to furnish a certified copy as restored, was not such illegal duty as could be.enforced . 1 uj viiu v>.hi u '? ? iiiivu ruivu uic urgumcnt of the counsel as published by the Republican and think it conclusive. Inquest.?Wo are indebted to Mr. Robert Jones, our Coroner, for tho' iiicU elicited by an inquest held by him on Sunday tho 10th inst., over the dead body of one George Mitchell, colored. The body was found 011 the Friday previous near the edge of a iagoon, in the low grounds of Mr. B. Z JJerndon, 011 Coronaca creek, up to tho waist in mud and water, with l be upper portion of the bod}* leaning ag: inst tho bank. Being that of an uiu man aooui, cigmy years or age. it is supposed, that in attempting to \va<Jo through the water, ho stuck in th-e mud, and being unablo to extricate himself died of eold and exhaustion. The Jury of Inquest, found a verdict in accordance with tho above staled facts. Taxf.s State and U. S.?Wo learn i from Mr. L II.
