BOW TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT, The North American Review for February contains a very interesting i and instructive discussion 1 of the " manner of electing the President of - the United States. : It is participa ted in by five gentlemen of distinc . tion, at least two of whom are Dem ocrats. The first paper is by Presi dent Barnard, of - ColumbiaCollege. ' : He diBousses the subject-with more elaboration than do the other writers. k He first shows the i imperfection of ' the present system and the necessity of a change in order to avoid the dangers - that have more than once threatened the country. He believes popular elections every four years are a great curse to the country,' and he proposes to remedy the evils by giving the election or President to , the Congress. He thinks there was much wisdom in the action of the framers when they first gave the power to elect the President to the i. "national legislature." . This was the ! first course taken, and it was three months afterwards before the change ' was made. The decision of the Con vention at first was to. elect by the Congress a President for wren years. Mr. Barnard thinks that "the only assured security for the future possi ' ble to us against the formidable dan 'r gers that surround, the question" is to adopt the plan that was adopted by the framers at first. He makes an argument to show why this should be done. He does not think that his plan will be adopted, but he thinks that the most,, popular plan! will be to give the election to the peo . pie by direct vote. In 1873, Sen w ator Morton made a speech in the Senate in favor of the popular mode. - He insisted that in the choice of a Chief-Magistrate, every, citizen has a ' right to "give his vote for the man of his choice. He said under the electo 1 ral ' system he was compelled to vote for the choice of somebody else. But i this has not much force. We all know how little hand the thirteen million of voters really, have in sdectingjhe candidates for whom they are to votet A few men run the county and dis ' trict conventions and they in fact i nominate. How many men who went . to the last Democratic Convention at Chicago were instructed for whom to f vote? :-':r. ' President Barnard says, and truly, that "votes are not worth the paper . they are, printed on without J prgani- zation ; ania that if an election by - a direct vote -was adopted that even then "party conventions will continue ; to name candidates as they do now individuals will; continue to cast - their votes as completely under I heir uMuuon as iney ao at present." This w iu m vitauiy nappen. : j ' President' Barnard shows that un- der a direct ete it would' be posst ble for a' popular majority o 8er Viwvs-: A U . m Hiuwt "WX"" -a-r- v -- , I stance, Ee says it migbtvbeipossiWe for New York to give but 1,000: ma jority. and so witb: ' tte other great States, and that!

Bia ihttimost; interesting point 'to na mane dv mm is : inis: toad b f would soon extingaish the last ves- ticRA ! of State indeDendenoe." He iir, Kxr onnt5no- thai says finally, that Jy adoptmg trie t ct-n .vrto ava .v-t vaxro v:th I all;those grave evils that have hith- rf.n'attpn1pl niir nnadrennial Presi- I Trt --: - -x - - - i jienwai contests wnony unremeaiea. - i He rather thinks the evils would be I increased by lnMmidation and corrup- tion of voters, by barsains and sales I of ;IooalTi political managers, ; b; Ihe prostitution of the press, and by a demoralization of ' tinbllO sentl I ment. , If he is correct, jt would be much safer and wiser to re-adopt the plan that so much commended itself to the wisdom of the fathers an elec tion; by the Congress rather than to 1 -1 . T : J . 1 a; n n But there are strong arguments why I the present system of an Electoral I . " . i College should be retained. This! will be seen when we come to ex-1 amine the arguments of ' the other j writers in the North American He view. A CB1CEFUL TBIBCTE. ' Mr. Mason, Senator from North ampton county, is said to be the handsomest speaker in the State Senate. ;He paida graceful and well deserved tribute to our great Senator in seconding the nomination that had just been made by Senator Buxton. Senator Mason evidently spoke from! the heart, and in felicitous diction and with becoming thought he eulogized the man who has received more at the hands of the people than any other man who adorns the I annals of the State. Thrice Governor I and thrice chosen to the United States Senate, as well as a member of the U. S. House, he has been honored above all other men, and to-day he has more personal friends in North Carolina than any other man has by a very great deal. We can only make room for a few sentences in Mr. Mason's speech, as printed in the Raleigh Chronicle: ' ' It Is sahMhat the sons of toil in France cetse from their labors and gather about their workshops to listen with bated breath ana mroDDiDg neans wnue some one re peats to them what their great, apostle of Democracy. Victor Hugo, has said in their behalf. Not less eagerly less lovingly do our people bang upon tne words of this dauntless defender of their rights. His wise sayings, his sparkling, witticisms, bis charming humor, are the guide and the light and the cheer or weary hearthstones in our land. His kindly nature, his honest purpose, his true manliness, his peerless in tellect, his clear judgment, make him the welcome, honored guest in the cottage of the poor, ana the mansion or the rich, and all in all the fairest type of our social system, and the truest friend of the people in all their clasaea and mndiHnn Have the blandishments of the cares of offi cial station ever deadened one impulse of nis generous neart towards her people 7 Our sovereign pleasure placed him in the senate, the Highest Jforum of our country. Is there a State in all this union of 8tates whose sovereign rights and - interests are better guarded, than are our own by his splendid genius' and his sturdy patriot ism ? r la our Sunnv South, and wherever his voice has been beard, Ameri can patriotism has been - exalted, and the name. of Nprtar Carolina has become lus trous in the light of his genius."

' i The Stab noticed at considerable length a few years ago a remarkably clever paper by Mr. Wilson in the North American Review, on the sub ject of giving;; the Cabinet officers seats in the Senate. We are not sur prised to see the above announce ment. ''Mr.-Wilson has marked tal ents, and he will be a distinguished man in some department of human endeavor if he lives a few longer.

The intelligent reader has perhaps wondered why the paragraph con cerning the Rev. Dr. Lipscomb, in yesterday's Stab, was tacked op to the long editorial on the University.

CUBBENT COMMENT. r The. total present consump tion of sugar by this country is about 1,200,000 tons per annum. The present production . is as follows: Cuba and Porto Rico, 700,000 tons; St. Domingo and Mexico" 100,000 tons; Hawaiian Islands, 60,000 tons; British West Indies, which- already ask to be admitted to a treaty, 300,- 000 tons; Philippine Islands, which Spain is willing and our own people ask to have included in the treaty, 180,000 tons, giving us in all 1,340, 000 tons. No doubt the consump tion of sugar will largely increase in this country if the exorbitant and unheeded tax on this necessary of life is removed. No doubt, also, onr export of refined sugar will increase But for this additional demand we can rely on Cuba and St. Domingo, and on ; the products of the Central American States and Peru. Cuba alone has. now sugar machinery, much of it owned by Americans, sufficient to make a million tons per annum. But it is urged that if the people' of this free country get tree and therefore cheap sugar, the sugar industry of Louisi ana will be ruined. The answer is that it is ruined already. The very high sugar tariff, which has made su gar dear for years to our whole peo ple, has not made the Louisiana plan ters prosperous. Comparing the sugar production of the State for the past ten years with that ten years before the war, we find that, notwithstand ing the exhorbitant tariff, the present product is only fifty four per cent, of that before the war. New York Serald, Ind, Senator Beck, in the recent Senatorial debate, indignantly re marked that it was ."simply impu dent" for the Controller of the Cur rency to report officially that the Sil ver law was "unworthy of this great nation." iJy arrogant disrespect for the law on the part of great officials like the President and Secretary of the Treasury, we might thus come to see the very clerks in the latest batch of civil . service applicants officially lecturing Uongress after tbe fashion of a prosy 'London' goldbug editor.
