When this law goes into operation the magnitude of the job will be apparent, GARFIELD'S . ELECTION DECLARED BY CONGRESS, It is about three months siueo the fact was known in all parts of the world renehed by the telegraph that Gen. Gartield had been elected President, and Gen, Arthur Viee- Presiilent, of the United States for the four years afler March { next, Yet the event was Not oMelully dectared (yesterday, as the Elevtoral votes hnd not previously been counted, ‘fhe ceremony was yery sluple, aud It was undisturbed by any of the embar- Tussments theeatened by the Democrats 2 few weeks ago when they sought to impose inanunfalr manner a unwise role that would have enabled. cither House to reject tho vote of any State where a dispute should bo trumped up in order to defeat the volea of the people, There was no ecenston forcontro- versy In counting the Electoral vote of the Inte Preshlential election, ‘The only format br. regularity was In the caso of Georgia, whose yote could not change the result. Hence the proper procedure fwis plain, ‘The two Llouses met in tho Hall of Representatives, ‘The Vice-President presided and opened the returns, which wero given to the fallers. ‘ho returns were read, tho votes counted, and tho resulé announced by the Viee- President that Garfiell and Arthur lind reeclved 214 yotes,. or a majority of the whole number, as required by the Constitution, No anestion was ratsed as to the regularity of the proceeding or the cor- rectness of the count, and tho Inst act but one “in the necesston of Gen, Garileld to the Pres Ktential ehair wus performed.

It is not to bo expected that tho expiring Congress will devise any rentedy, for its term of life is not too long to serve the necessities of routine business.

PRESENT ASPECT OF THE REFUNDING SCHEME, The Senate Finanee Committee ‘has sue- eceded In putting the Funding bill intoa shapo which, if adopted as IL comes from their hands, willassire the finmediate refunding of the sixes and fives which mature between May Dan July bof this year, and will result in asaving of about $14,000,000 annually in the interest charge, aside from the reduetion of the debt from the surplus revenues, ‘The Mitt as approved by the Senate Committes authorizes $00,000,000 of 'Crenstury notes, ree deemable ntter one year and payable in ten years, whieh shall bear atet more than Sty per cent interest, and proposes to refund the remnluder of the maturing bonds Inte new bonds, redeemable after five years sul paya- bie in twenty years, which shall bear 31g per cent Interest, This division of tha now obligations ts Ukely to suit both those who have. floating enpltal which they desire to invest but do not wish to die up and those who haye the inoneys of estates: and (rust-fands for long {nvestinent. “Lhe Treasury notes will be tn the nature of a eall loun for those wha buy: them, beenuse it wil always be possible to Negotiate them ut par or use them as money with an allowance for interest that may hayo averued on them uptodate, Any holder of these notes who has them deposited in a safe or vault will feel that he lias so much ready money at his command whenever he desires enny other investment. ‘his quality may enable the Secretary of the ‘Treasury to sell tho Interest-bearlng notes at less than 8:3 per cent; and the dlseretion fs given to do this by the proviston that they shall not bear more thin 547 per cent Interest. Whenever the issue shall have been authorized indica ons will not be wanting to Instruet the Sees retury of the ‘Treasury whether or not thera is a large mnguntof money In the country: that will seek the advantages of suet nn Ine vestment, and thus enable him to determing the rate at which the notes can be placed upon the market with the certainty that they will be rapidly tuken wp. ‘The Senate Comiittee tins amended the provision in regard to the bonds so that they may ron twenty years, Instead of ten, and shill draw 3}4 instead of 4 per cent interest. ‘The privilege of redeeming thesa bonds is fixed at the end of five years, ng it was In the bill which passed tho House, but there will bon general sense of seeurity that the bonds will run the full term provided In the law, for the following reason: ‘The notes will be first taken up, and Hf the strpitys revenue during the next ten years shill serve to eauuvel 309,000,000 In additlon to the probable reduction of taxation and the possible chango In the balance of trade, the result will be highly satisfactory. By that time the 417 per cents will ba redeemed at the option of the: Government, and they will bo pald off In prefercnee to the 37 percents, ‘The prospect is that most of the new 3!4 per cents will run the full twenty years allowed to them, and, If tha rate be ndopted that. those first subscribed for shall have the longest «liration, there will bu an immediate demand for thom from the banks and the holders of all trust-funds seeking. a tong investment. Anything Ike a rush will enable the Secre- fury of tho Treasury to sell them at a pre- mlm over par for the baneflt of the Govern- iment, white tho rate of Interest will not be so low as to endanger the success of tho loan In any ease, ‘The refunding scheme has lkewlse been improved by striking out the seetion which proposed to coeree the National banks to substitute the new bonds for those they now hold, In tho first place, such a polley would be unwise In any event, because It would denote antagonism to the banking system which las proved to be safer and more popu lar than any other devised in this country, and destroy the elasticity of the free banking flaw. In the second pluce, tt Involved tho risk of n contraction In the capttal and cur- reney of the National banks, in tho third place, the new rate of Interest and prolonged term of the bonds will render covretve mens- ures altogethar unnecessary to Insure the successful negothitlun of the proposed Joan, It ig probable that, under the new -conditlons, tho National banks will be among the first and snost eager appiicants for the refueling bonds, Lf the policy shall be adopted by the Seeretary of the Treasury, whieh js promised and which Is obviously the most advisable, of making the exchange of new bonds for the maturing bonds uirect- ly, without tho intervention of ngents or brokers, the placing of the new loan will be wonderfully fnellitated, and adarge amount of expense will thus be saved, Wothlnk It may be sufely assumed that the Sennte will adopt the Refunding bill in practleally the shapo that hins been agreed upon In committee, and in that event there are fndicntions that animjority of the Hous will bo disposed to concur in the Sennte anendments, Itis bolleved that tha Demo- crats In the House are tuo anxious to avold an extra session, which would cost them thelr present Congressional patronage, to be stubborn In tholr opposition to a funding qcasure which lias all the elemonts of stieeuss, THE PRO-SLAVERY BOER REBELLION.

Tho first and main objection ta {tls that it requires 9 constitutional amend- nient. ‘Tho agreement of two-thirds of both Jlouses of Congress and three-fourths of ail the States would be necessary to put it Into operation, Mr. Root proposes that two Elect- ors shall be chosen by each Congressional distriet, and that the Electoral College so constituted, withont reference to Stato Hues, shall be tho solo Judge of the quallfications, and elections of Its own members, 1s it eon- celyable that tho large States would consent to deprive themselves by constltutional amendment of the Influence which they now possess? Would Penusylyania, or New York, or Ohio, or Hinois, which now cast solid Electoral voles, bo willing to neutralize ther vower to the extent of the Democratte dis- trlets In cach? Or would any of the South- ern States surrender tho attribute of “sov- ereignty? whiett they now have in the pro- vision of the Constitution that “eneh Stato shatl appoint, i such. manner as the Logis Jature thereof may direct, a number of Elect- ors equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which such State may ba entitled In tho Congress? Another objec- tion to Mr. Roots plan ts, that it would not operate equally iu all: parts of the country. df Hleetors were chosen by districts there would not bea Republican district in the South. Fraud and violence would count in 212 Electors from that ‘section, two being chosen from each district, while the Demo- erats at the North would have tho advantage of ininortty representation, which they do not now enjoy. ‘Thirdly, the proposed system would furnish a direct Incentive to gerry- mandering, and would cause the most se lous perverston of powor by State Legisla- tures withen gola view to the consequences In the olection of a President, Finally, the choivo of Electors by districts would wiford ho ecertatn protection against « contested count, It often happens Unt parties aro so evenly balanced in Congress that the choices of u Speaker tsa matter of great difticulty. ‘Tha contests which resulted In the election of Banks in 1955 und Pennington in 1800 were seyere and protracted, Jf the choles of a President had been involved in elther of these cases the country would have been on tho verge of 8 revolution, Such a sitio. tlou {fs likely to occur again at any time, In the new Congress, for Instanee, tho Republiean, party has a bare majority, with not a single vote to spare, and two of the Republican members-elect have been pro- moteit to the Senate, so that If there shoult be an extra session it Is very doubtful whether Republican Speaker could be elected. ‘The people nra neeustomed to the present Electoral system, and ft Is the best that can be expected, though perhaps for from belne, as Mr. Root has pofuted aut, the best that could be devised.
