THURSDAY, EEliR?ARY 1881. who.is .elected presidknt i The Electoral College says Gar field; lnii the people soy, Hancock. The en re fully compiled vote of tlie States s'iows that Hancock has Inn c Garficld by l),Xl'2 votes. Nor is this the lir.sl time this h:is happened. Tilden beul Hayes by an immense popular vote,although it is also true that lie hint him in the Electoral College, fifteen votes being stolen foi Hayes. Seymour nearly equalled Grant in the popular vote, although the latter beat him heavily in the Electoral College. Neither is tbis unnatural stale of things unlikely to occur, under the present law, at any time. It arises from tin* want of minority representation in the con federation of States. It certainly works injustice, and it seems to us thai a better system could l?o adop ted. Suppose for instance, tl at the pop ulnv vote of South Carolina is 15,001, aud that A should have received 7o,00I votes for President, while P? received 75,000. Under the present law, A, who received a majority of only one vote, would take all Un votes of South Carolina in the Elec toral College, while H would receive none. Why should these Tf>.*.)<? votes be counted out and be entitled to no representation? And why should <>ue man or one vote ?beide for whom all the votes of South t 'arolin'a should bo counted for President 'i Again, suppose the same thing should happen throughout the Union, and thai A should carry every State by the slender majority of one, ex cept the little Slate of Oregon, which Ii earrit s l>y some 10,000 votes. Now it is evident, under these ein um Stances, that Ii would receive a popu lar majority of nearly j0,000, aud yet A would receive every volt* in the Electoral College except the votes 0. * Oregon, and be elected, while more than half the people of the United Stal s would vole for noth ?Ug. It is very plain, that under the Electoral system, the popular vote may he'often defeated. We see that a bill is now hofore Congress to alter the system by having the election by Districts, instead <>f by State-, ah . t>? hate the counting dune by :; State commission. Wc don't '.\:,<,w that this would be any improvement <>'? the matter, but ivo think the sub ject is onethal ileserves the study o Our statesnien. opeii votimj. The Republicans boast of their followers easting open votes at tin* recent election. Instead <>f this being something to boast of, it is something to bo ashamed <>f. It i au outrageous species of huldozing and intimidation, and is contrary to the very spirit and intention of thr ballot, liesides this, wc believe, if put to the test, it would be found Iti be illegal, for, if we are not mistak en, in the SI aw ease, the Supreme Court decided, that if an election is to be by ballot, il i- vitiated by open voting. It stands I o 'reason that it is only by secret voting t litt I liberty is preserved. Wilhoui it, the voice of the people will i* it be correctly re corded. It is only by secret or fold ed votes that, in liiauv eases, the p ?or are able to vote as they want. With the eyes of their employers upon t hi in, necessity and self protee lion would often control their wish. 1. et llie ballot box be free and un l i aineled. ( 'ouuI l)e Lessopa is going forward v. ith the Panama Cauitl enterprise. Si'venlv engineers, superintendents .- ul doctors have been sent to the i-llimus, and near 8000 laborers will be employed. We wonder if this matter will cause an agitation of the m on: oo doc' rise. Ex Governor K. K.

The improvement nindc by the press ?f the state iii this respect since the disnppcurunrc of Republican paper.*;, with their ill gwtteu gains and demor alizing influence, is marked. As we grow in intelligence we will advance toward perfoct ion in the higher tone of journalist i<- intcrcousc. Nor should this spirit of courtesy be confined to intercourse between uicinbeis of the Craft. It should be the rule of action in ail dealings between men. There is nothing lost by gentility, and nothing gaiucd by rttllianism. Kv.cn in criticising our political opponents, opprobrious epithets dull the point of our arrows. Argument alone is pow erful where it is pure. Itillingsgutc is the weapon of the rulllau, but truth is thti bulwark of the gentleman. Firmly entrenched upon this rock, he scorns the arrows of error that arc thrown against him. T<> lose one's temper, or to resort to epithets, no matter what tuny be the provocation is a confession of weakness, tun must result in defeat. Nothing con quers in the end but the polished steel of pure and honest argument. BLAINE TAKEN DOWN. Mr. Hlaiuc, the autocrat on the Republican side of Congress, who is sent out as the intellectual giant o his party to take down the Democrats when they Income aggressive, although several times floored by Mr. I.amar of .Mississippi, nothing daunted, in all the pride of his cxal ter? 1 self estimation, came out Insi week to administer :i drubbing t<< Mr. Deck of Kcutuckey who was speaking on the subject of "Free Ships." Mr. Rlaine interrupted Mr. Hock, and, as usual,, lugged in poli tics, sayiug to him that the Demo era Is had gone to the country on thai subject and everybody knew tin- re i still. The senator from iventucky wa* quick and sharp with his reply. He reminded Mr. Rlainu that the Demo cratic party had gone to the countryi :>nd on the popular vote had probably won. He added that the party wont ! in the country in lS7t'? and won, aid had lieeii cheated out of it-; victory, rhen he said that he w as ver\ gin :hat the tlUcussion had led the Pro nier of thi new administration thu. early lo proclaim I lie, policy oftha admiui st rut ion to the ct 11111(13*.
