Espafiiel telegraph? ed to Madrid tor 20,000 men, he offering to pay the expense of transportation, and the - response came, back, "We cannot send you even, fl ve men-,". This refusal of aid causes gxeai .fj-ibniaUou .among., the Spaniards, who lear the.'guerilla system of warfare adopted bjPiieinWrgent?will enable them "to carryon tbe contest fbr an indefinite period of time. T? addto ther general perplexity and discom? fiture, epidemic cholera has broken ont along | , the coast and in the garrisoned places, and is making dreadful havoc among the unaccli ur?Ted troops, worn down as they are by their arduous labors during the past season. It is said, too, to be prevalent among the war ves? sels cruising about the island, and some of the officers and many of the men on the gunboats and men-of-war have already died. The yel? low fever cases- as yet in the city have been very few, but a goodly number of sailors have been sent to the hospital from the various war vessels In the harbor. All this furnishes cause of depression, and Incites gloomy forebodings for the future.

These are the lucky fellows who make from $5000 to $20,000 .a year. It may surprise those who don't know it to hear that some dry goods salesmen earn over double the palary of the Chief Justice of thaflnlted States, yet It Is perfectly true. Last year a man was discharged from one of the pryioipal houses in New York because he had made; by salary and. commissions, over $25, 0W in one y ear. The bead of the firm thought v^aT iY*> too much for one man, and gave him notice that he might leave. Another salesman made $20,QO0 the same year in the same house. It would be easy to name a score of ?buyers who receive regular salaries of from' .$8000 to $10,000, and whose expenses to Eu? rope and back twice a year are paid besides. Then there are many scores of salesmen who get $5000 and upwards, some of these drawing during the year as much as SSOO0. Of course they must be rlrst class men, and they are the same men who become In time the great mer? chants ot the metropolis. It hos frequent ly happened, during the past few years, that salesmen have cleared more money than their employers. When business is dull, the em? ployer may not make a dollar; but whether he makes or loses, the salesman draws his salary and commission regularly. No more striking instance of inequality could be found any? where than is furnished by the relative condi? tion of wholesale and retail clerks in New York-one class earning from $5000 to $20,000 a year (though of course some do not get even half the first figure) and the other struggling along on six or seven hundred." Thc Great Campaign Paper. The interest taken by the people of the State in the contest now begun between the Union Belora party and the Scott Bing, is well shown by the rapidity with which they pour in their subscriptions to THE CHARLES? TON WEEKLY NEWS. This successful weekly, containing all the social, general and litera? ry news of tho day, as well as full accounts of the progress of the political canvass, is now supplied at the rate of seventy-five ceuts for four months, or ten copies will be sent, to one address, for the same period, for six dollars. Beyond this, cheapness cannot go. No wonder is lt, that an agent in an up-country village sent down )esterday a list of twenty-two new subscribers to THE WEEKLY NEWS-the Great Campaign Paper. The Representation of Minorities. The irregularity and the injustice of our present representation system are both plain and unmistakable, and the changing fortunes of political parties give all of them, in tarn a bitter taste of the power of a bare majority As the laws now stand, a majority of one, in "the largest constituency, carries with it the entire control of the minority. The ma jority of one will make laws and unmake them,- will take off one tax and put on auotner more grievous, will act in all things as though it were in very truth the repre? sentative of the whole people. And the evil i3 aggravated by the system of party organi? zation and party tickets now in common usc The vote which elects one member of the party will, as a general thing, elect all the rest-the majority ticket is elected through ont, and the minority ticket is as thoroughly defeated. No one contests tho rights of the majority, under the existing laws, to have a majority of the representation. Bat it is argued, and with reason, that minorities,'also, have their rights, and it is the aim of the more advanced and thoughtful of the statesmen of the country to devise a practical plan which ahull give minorities their just share of rep res^ntiation without, en?ro.iching apon the jost preponderance c! thu numerical majori? ty. In short the problem is to procure a legislative body which, at the time of its elec? tion;, will faithfully represent the whole body of electors; so that each elector may have a representative to whom be has given authority to speak and act for him, and who will represent on the floor of the chamber only as many votes as he bas received. To accomplish this end, six. general plans are proposed : ' . 1. More than ninety years, ago the subject of minority representation was broached io England, and a bill was introduced by the Dake of Richmond in 1780, contained a clause looking to the representation of minorities, [n 1855 a plan proposed by M. Andree was introduced into the representative system of Denmark. In 1859 Mr. Hare published his work on the election of representatives, which gave rise to many discussions in thi3 country, in Europe and in the British Colo? nies. The plan of Mr. Hare is called prefer? ential voting, and its operation is as fol? lows:. "It ascertains the quota by dividing the whole number of voters by the whole number jf representatives. Thus, if the whole number >f voters should be 800,000, and the number of representatives to be chosen 200, the quota of j roters to each representative would be 4000. rhen the voter is to deposit at the polls a vot ng paper, on which he shall have placed In :he order of his preference thc names of the candidates, or of so many of them us he pleases. No vote is to be counted for more .han one candidate; any candidate receiving 1000 votes ls lo be declared elected; if the can lidate first on a voting paper fails to obtain : he quota, or has already obtained it, the vote lescends to the next in order of preference; ivhen a candidate bas obtained thc quota, his rotes up to that number are to be laid aside, ind the remaining votes are to be counted for lie candidate next in order of preference, and io on, till all the votes are appropriated and ;he whole number of representatives is ob? tained. If there be not 200 persons credited ?ach with 4000 votes, and the representative jody is consequently deficient in number, thc Jeflclency ls to be made up by taking thc can iidates who come nearest to the required juota This method is called by thc Swiss re? formers that of the electoral . quotient (le quo :ient electoral.) 2. A second plan is that of limited voting, b>y which is to bo understood that of requir? ing the votes to be cast for a less number of candidates than the whole. Thus, if the number of voters were 100,000, and the number Qf candidates to be elected from the State, or district, ten, and each voter were allowed to give only one vote for one candi? date, and 10,000 votes were to elect, the re? sult would be that every 10,000 persons might have a representative if they would. This plan is generally referred to in connec? tion with-several candidates, rarely in con? nection with single ones. 3. "A third plan is that of substitute voting, which permits candidates to cost anew the use? less votes given to them, and substitute a third person in their place. Thus, supposing again the number of electors to be 100,000, and ol' ] representatives 10, and 10,000 votes to be sutli cient for election; and then supposing six can? didates to have received each 15,000, that is, 90,000 in ail, and two others each 5000. Here are 30,000 surplus votes cast for the elected candidates, and 10,000 insufficient votes divid? ed between two persons, so as to give neither of them enough to elect him; the plan we are speaking of allows the three elected candi? dates to" cast 30,000 surplus votes, and the two defeated candidates to cast 10,000 insufficient votes for new candidates. Those eight per? sons would substitute four other persons a3 the candidates to receive the 40,000 votes, and would elect them to serve with the.six first elected. .. 4 "The fourth plan is sometimes called that of proxy voting, which permits every voter lo give his vote or proxy to any person he pleases, and that person to represent him in the repre? sentative chamber if ho can unite upon him? self other proxies sufficient to make up the electoral quota, and if he receives more than this sufficient number, then to cast additional votes in the chamber, proportional to the number ot proxies received. This is the plan put forth three years ago by the Personal Rep? resentation Society ot New York. 5. The fifth plan is that of list voting, or what i3 called the free concurrence of lists or the open list-a plan recommended by the re? formers of Germany. It supposes lists of can? didates containing each the names ot as many as there are representatives to be chosen, ranged in the order of preference, to be deposi ed with the proper authorities a certain time before the election and numbered. Each elec? tor gives his vote for a particular list. The whole number of votes for that list is divided by the electoral quota, and the result gives the Lamber of candidates chosen on that list. For example, if there be fifteen representatives to be elected, 15,000 voters, and five lists of can? didates. List A receiving 5000 votes secures five representative!?; list B receiving 4000 votes secures four representatives; list C re? ceiving 30?0 votes secures three representa? tives; list D receiving 2000 votes secures two representatives; list E receiving ?ooo votes secures one representative. In the case ol a vacancy caused by death or resignation, elec? tion on more than one list, or other cause, the place is to bc supplied by- the candidate next in order. Tills plan would operate thus in a State having 100,000 voters and ten represen? tatives in Congress to choose, and three par? ties with each a Hst: List A receiving C0,000 votes; Hst B receiving 30,000 votes, and Hst C receiving 10,000. The quota or electoral quotient being 10,000, list A would be entitled to six representatives, Hst B to three, and Hst C to one. The six highest names on list A, the three highest on list B, and the one highest on Hst C would then be chosen os the representa? tives of the State in Congress." 6. The sixth plan, which we have purpose? ly reserved to the lost, is that of cumulative voting. The theory of this is, that, a quota being ascertained as before, each voter shall have as many votes as there are representa? tives to be elected, (either from the whole State, or from electoral districts less than the whole State, as may be determined;) and shall be at liberty to cast them all for one candidate, or divide them among several, as he pleases. This plan bas been proposed in Congress by Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylva? nia, and is the plan submitted for approval at the Illinois constitutional elections held on Saturday last. Its operations may be illustrated thus : Massachusetts has? ten representatives in the lower bouse of | Congress; each voter has ten votes; he may give them to ten candidates, one to euch, or he may cumulate them upon a less num? ber than ten, even to one. One-tenth of the voters may thus be sure of a representative, if they choose to unite upon one person. Thus, suppose the number of voters to be 200,000, and each with ten votes, making 2,000,000 votes in all, of which 200,000 shall be sufficient to elect; the friends of any one candidate might secure the concentration or cumulation of the 200,000 votes cast by 20,000 voters, and those would have one repre? sentative, though all the remaining votes were cast for one person. In practice, no doubt, tickets would be made up by the two parties, and each party would send represen? tatives merely proportionate to its constit? uency. Tliis plan of cumulative voting seems to be the simplest and plainest yet devised, and, where it has been tried, it is found to work exceeding well, as we shall take occasion to show.

Coming to the Point. One thing was made very plain at the Fourth of July celebration of the Columbia Radicals-the colored men are heartily sick of H?ge, and the rest of the adventurous crew, and intend to have their full share, and more than their full share, of all the spoils of office. And it is equally clear that the colored Radicals have very little faith in t he whites who have just jumped over the fence, and who now expect that their unsel? fish virtue will be handsomely rewarded. uterus.
