The carefully compiled vole of the States s'lows that Hancock ha 3 Inn e Garfield by <">,:;:!:! votes. Nor is tln> the first tinio this has Jiappencd. Tilden heal Haves by an immense popular vole, although il is also true that he heat him in the Electoral College, ?fteen votes being stolen for Hayes. .Seymour nearly equalled ("rant in the popular.vote, although the latter heat him heavily in tin Electoral College. Neither is this unnatural state of things unlikely to occur, under the present law, at any time. It arises from the want of minority representation in the con federation of States. It certainly ?works injustice, and it seems to us that a heiter system could he adop ted. Suppose for instance, tl at the pop ular vote of South Carolina is 15,001, aud that A should have received 7">,0(U voles for President, while B received 75,000. Under the present law. A. who received a majority of only one vote, would take all the votes of South Carolina in the Elec toral College, while H would receive none. Why should these 75,00 votes be counted out and he entitled to no representation? And why should one man or one vote decide tor whom all the votes of South ( 'a roll nil should lie counted for President ? Again, suppose the same thing should happen throughout the Union, and thai A should carry every Statt by I he slender majority of one, ex cept the little Slate of Oregon, which Ii earri( H by some 10,000 votes. Now it is evident, under these circuit)' stances, that ii would receive a popu- I lar majority of nearly 10,000, ami ; vel A would receive every vote in the Electoral Colloare except the ;; voles i I o' Oregon, and be elected* while move than half the people of the United Stat s would vole for noth iug. It is very plain, thai under the Electoral system, the popular vote mav be often defeated. We sec that a liill is now before Congress to alter the system by having the election by Districts, instead of by Slates, an , to have the counting done by a Slate commission. We don't know that tliis won! 1 be any improvement of tin* matter, but we think the sub ject i*- one thai deserves the study o our statesmen. owia voting. Tlie Republicans boast of their followers easting open votes at the recent election; Instead of this being something to boast of, it is something to be ashamed of. Ii i an outrageous species of buldozing and intimidation, and is contrary to the very spirit and intention of Ihr ballot. Mos id es this, we believe, if put to the te-'. it would he found to be illegal, for, if we are not mistak en, in the SI aw ease, the Supreme i.'otirt decided, that if an election is to be by ballot, it is vitiated by open ?voting. It stands to reason that ii is only by secret voting thai liberty is preserved. Wit hoti! it, I he voice of the people will ii >l be correctly re corded. It is only by secret or fold ed votes that, in many eases, the p >or are able to vote as they want. With the eyes of their employer.' upon t!i in. necessity and solf-prolee I bin would often control their wish. | Let lIk-1'a 1 lot hoN be free and un t i'ameled. i iiinl De Le-^eps is going forward with I lie Panama Canal enterprise. .?" .ventv engineers, superintendents i id doctors have been sent to the: isthmus, and near 8000 laborers will Ip ? employed.

JOURNALISTIC AMENITIES Wenre glad to seethe editorial of ' friend Wilson, of the Abbeville Pres? idkI tiniiner, on the above BUbjeet. The improvement made by the press *f the state in this respect since the disappearance of Republican papers, with their ill gotten gains and demor alizing influence, is marked. As we grow in intelligence we will advance toward perfection in the higher tone of journalistic iutcrcousc. Nor should this spirit of courtesy be confined to intercourse between membeisofthe craft. It should be the rule of action in all dealings but ween men. There is nothing lost by gentility, and nothing gained by ruUiauisin. Kven in criticising our political opponents, opprobrious epithets dull the point of our arrows. Argument alone is pow erful where it is pure. Billingsgate is the weapon of lb.' rullian, but truth is the bulwark of the gentleman. Firmly entrenched upon this rock, he scorns the arrows of error that are thrown against him. To lose one's temper, or to resort to epithets, no matter what may be the provocation is a confession of weakness, an. must result in defeat. Nothing con quers in the end but the polished steel of pure and honest argument. BLAINETAhEN DOWN.
