Vote by Ballot
Een i
THERE is en the method of voting by ballot in United States and that which obtains
the Dominion of Canada. Perhaps our readers may not be uninterested tu a short description of Brother Jonathau’s Here, and throughout i¢ Domiuiop, the names of opposing audidates are printed on the same piece f paper, termed a lallot. The voter, atter being handed tlhe ballot paper. retires alone behind a screen or to ap inner room, and there puts a X& after o1 opposite the name of the candidate he votes for. He folds the ballot, and han:'s it to the returning officer, who places it in the ballot box. If the voter cannot read, and intimates that he does not know how to mark his ballot, then the returning officer avd the agents of the candidates go with him to the room or behind the screen, and instruct him how to properly mark the ballot, so that he may vote forthe man of his choice.

method of voting.
}
in the greater part of the States of the Union, there is registration of voters. Some before elections, the duly appointed Registrars give notice that they purpose makiug lists of qualified voters, ‘These registrars are at stated times, and the electors ally are interested cuough to their names are placed on the proper lists. Some time before election, written lists of vo.ers, alphabetically arranged, are posted up ia couspicuous places in each polling precinet, and the time and place to make corrections is named. If av elector finds that his has lee: omitted, he is apt to see that it is registered; and asa rule the ambitiou® politicians, candidates for oflices, scan the lists closely, to see that all their sup-

posed supporters are on the list aud to also see if any persons are wrongfully registered By _ this methed every man entitled to vote is ‘ure to have his name on the lists. Ou
lection day the voter marches up to the polling place, a clerk asks his name, and when given, itis checked on the listgand
hea told to vote, the properly appointed person opens the ballot-box sufficiently w de for the ballot to be deposited, the voter drops in his ballot, and the next man steps up and the same procedure ikes place ; avd so on to the end, or the closing of the Everything as a rule is quite and orde ly. There are enough of agents or representatives of the opposing candidates to see that the voter is the man he represents himself to be. It will thus be seen that the whole business of swearing to, or proving the right to vote, is done before the registrars, aud uearly all unseemly challenging, ol jecting,or bickering and quarrelling is obviated at the polls. The ballot-boxes are made with sliding covers, and kept closed until the name is properly checked on the registration list, when, as we have already said, it is slightly opened, aud after the ballot is dropped in, is at once closed.
polls.
Ve were ia Boston in 1880 on the day of the last Presidential e:ection, and in the morning, after breakfast, sauntered into one of Eighteenth Ward (up town) polling places. Several dozen tall, stately mev, in immaculate broadcloth acd shiny beaver hats, were about. Everything waz as decorous aud solemp, excepting cheery smiles and words of
greeting, as a Methodist meeting. We were told that it was a Republican Ward. All the voters and ward officers
seemed to be merchants or professional
gentlemen. One five looking, pleasant countevanced gentleman handed us a Republican ballot, a copy of which is
given below. We kept it as a memento of the occasion. Another gentleman handed us a Greenback ticket, the candidates being Weaver and Chambers; and till another handed us a Democratic ticket, Haneock and English. This has av engraved heading about three inches square, which reads, ‘ Regular Demo- cratic Ticket,” and has also a fine por- trait of Hancock, who is certainly a handsome man. It will be seen that iu the one ticket we copy, the elector, drop ping it into the ballot-box, voted for Natioval, State, County and Town officers all at once. The Presidential electors “tat large” represent the two Massachusetts United States Senators in the Electoral College, The eleven electors “by districts” represeni the Massachusetts Congressioval districts.

Important Scott Act Cases.
28h inst., the first case taken up was the Perth case, referred by the Governor General to that court for consideration. Perth, a county of Ontario, has two ridings and two registrars of deeds. and petition for bringing the Canada Tem- perance Act (second purt) inte force, the Secretary of State received evidence that the notice and petition were deposited with the registrar cf one riding only. The is that comphance with the ef the sixth section of the
question is, requirements act !
The Chief Justice caid, in putting the act in force certain interests were interfered with, and before this is done it should clearly appear that the act had been com- plied with. In this case there is no rey1s- trar of the county, and the filing of the petition with the registrar of one-half of the county is not a filing for the whole counly, and therefore 1s not compliance with the statate. Justices Strong and Henry concurred with this view. Judg- ment was given in the negative.
The next case was the Kent case, also submitted by the Governor-General-in- Council. A number cf electors of Kent, Ontario, signed a notice and petition under the Scott Act for bringing into force the second part thereof, aud said notice had been laid before the Secretary of Siate with evidence of compliance by the peti- tioners with the formalities. No procia- mation having issued some of the signers desire to withdraw their names. ‘The question is, have they a right to so with- draw! In vhbis case if they have the righ:, then they are sufficient in number to nul- lify the petition, as it would not have the number required by law. Mr. Robinson argued in fayor of the right. Any volun- tary act, he said, not acted on, may at common law be withdrawn and the statute made no provision otherWise.
Mr. Seott arzued for the negative and said the owiy ume for the petitioners to | withdraw was during the ten days the petition and notice were in the hands of the sheriff.
Judgment was reserved.

YX PKA MTIVER,
The Union of Jamaica. Rev. Wim. Marray, of Picton, N. S., who for many years past has been laboring in Jamaica, has just returned home on a) trip for his health. In an interview with the Halifax Herald, Mr. Murrey gave if es his opinion that the union of Jamaica with | the Dominion would prove advantageous {0 | both. The immedi:te advan azes, be} said, will be the free interchange of pro- | ‘ucts peculiar to each country, To Canada it will give an exchange market for | its fish, which is already Jargely ec n-) sumed there, lumber, singles, ftour, | putatoes, butter, cotton woods, boots and} ‘shoes, manufac'urd le.ther goods, and | many other manufactures which the islands consume. Aud, let me say here, that being |a tropical climate, the people there require | a large quanti y of cotton gods ; and this would be a profitable market for your sur- plus cotton. With regard to the stat-men } iat Canadian flour was ne po d ia the hot lclinate of Jamaica, he said that experience i has shown the falsity and absurdity of that lidea. The West Indies consnme a vast 'awouat of canned fish, lobsters, oj sters, sal- mon, and fianen haddies. Tiese now come trom the old country and New York. Then the advantag:s to the West Indies and io Canada equally, are the free importation into Canada of sugar, coffee, arrow-root, yinger, log-wood, and other hard woods,— lignumvitesand mahagony; bananas,lemons, oranges and other trepical frnits. In Jamaicathere are 450,000 blacks. The blacks are most amenable to law if they are treated with common justice and consi leration. I know this yby exrericnce. Many of the blacks ave wll (e'ucaie’, and jthe number incre:ses every year. The jculored are, generally speaking, well edu- caied, and worthily hclding responsible positions, both in church and state. The junion will give a completeness to the | Dowinion which it now iacks, and would give us an equal vantege ground with the United States, with its tropical states. |Your people must consider the question
in its widest and most far revealing aspect.

‘* settlement” was destroyed. It is useless to publish any details. The higher por. tions of the city being more exposed, were eqnally unfortunate. Several of the largest and most substential buildings were swept away as if built on pasteboard. In that secitiun alone 123 houses were destroyed and 300 damaged. The loss of life on shore was less than at sea, Out of 80 sail- ing vessels 63 were lost with 223 persons ou board. Twelve vessels with 120 persons are also missing. Of 5 lifeboats that went to rescue the drowning crews, four were swamped and ten men of their crews were drewned. The typhoon is the severest experienced since 1870,
