Basis of the Electoral, Vote fob
President.?The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer
makes the positive assertion that the
electoral vote for the next President will
be cast on the present basis of 243 members
for the House, instead of 283, as under
the new hill. We caunot believe
this to be possible. It is a robbery of
the Weet and South. It is in the teeth
of the former precedents of 1832 and 1852.
It is ridiculous, too, this voting for President
and Congressmen on the same day.
to take their scats at the same time, tht
the one should be elected under the o'
and the other under the new law. T
new apportionment, when signed by
President, will be a law ot the land,
all elections afterward must be held
der it, and not under the old law
percedes,?Exchange.
Sensible.?People begin to think tt
it may be poor economy to grow corn
ten cents per bushel on cheap wes
western lauds?say eighty bushel
?8? when lands might oe had at ?
SoO per acre, in some places for f \
$20, that will produce fifty b? ,
n orth $40.
