CL .DECEMBER 10 A Kw Plu or Chooiiii President and. Vice President. . Editobs ov tub Journal : Iu thes troublous times, I see it has become quite fashionable fcr the great men of the Nation , to suggest remedies for the evils which beset U3, and I see no good reason w by smaller men may not exercise the same privilege The election by the people, of the chief magistrate of a Nation, has always been regarded rs a dangerous experiment. Many of our political savans have dreaded the experiment here. At an early day they prophesied, that the frequency of our Presidential elections would absorb every other iuterest, and terminate in the disruption of the Confederacy. There is much reason to believe that their prophesies are being literally fulfilled. The main reason now assigned for the dissolution of the Union, i3 the election of President. To remedy this evil to withdraw" from the people the irritating and never-ending excitement, inseparable from the Presidential election to discharge and disband a countless horde or professional office-hunters and plunder-seekers and, at the saire time, to secure among the States tliH a em an tuil.infa r C rvl ttTrtr 1 rirMiil oik amendment of the Constitution, as tollows: Let the Legislature of each State select two men. resident in the State, tor J resi dent ; let their names be certified to the Vice President of the United States, who ahall write the names on separate ballots, iu the presence of both branches of Congress, and place them in a box, from which at the same time, and in the same presence, he Bhall draw two ballots; the man whose name is on. the first drawn ballot to be President, and he whose name is on the second drawn ballot to be Vice President." By this mode, money and its competing appliances cannot be used. It would save our patriotic office-hunters a great amount of labor, and secure to the people a peace which they have a long time been strangers to. , A Voteu. Dec. 16, 1860. ———<>——— [<Communicated. The Canal, Again. The present and future condition of the southern end of the Canal is a subject of great interest to our citizens. Without assuming the position to which "C." arrived in his communication of Saturday, let its briefly consider the influence the Canal exercises upon the value of property and the health of citizens near it. Its length from Eighth street to the elbow and from that to Pigeon Creek is near a mile. This distance divided into lots of twenty-four feet each makes about four hundred and fifty. The last duplicate shows that these lots are valued at something like two dollars a foot less than lots one square from the Canal. Hence the conclusion is reasonable that it depreciates the value of lots fronting upon it about two dollars per front foot, or fifty dollars a lot. Multiply four hundred and fifty, the number of lots on the Canal, by fifty, their depreciated value, and the product, or loss to the lot owners, is $22,500. It would be a very low estimate to fix the depreciated value of property more reniotely situated at $22,500 more. Add these amounts together and the total depreciation of property would be $45,000. Is not this a low estimate? There are now from twelve to fifteen bridges across the Canal. Several of those are worthless. The average duration of canal bridges does not appear to be more than five years. Hence we may estimate, if the Canal is to be kept up, that an average of three bridges a year for the next five years must be made. The cost of these may be estimated at $800 each, or $2,400 a year for bridges for the next five years. Think of it, tax-payers! Within the next five years you will be required to pay something like $12,000 for canal bridges if you desire to keep that worthless ditch properly bridged. The condition the Canal has been in during the summer months for the last several years, and the condition is likely to be in at the same season for several years to come, if efforts be made to keep it up, renders a consideration of its influence upon the health of citizens near it an important question. All medical authorities and common experience teach that stagnant water, filled with decaying vegetable matter, is a prolific source of disease during the summer months. As this water diminishes, the effluvia or poisonous vapors incrense in virulence, so that by the time the Canal is nearly dry they become so poisonous that a few hours exposure will frequently cause 'sickness.' For the last several rears the canal water has attained this condition in August and September. The consequence has been, citizens living near it have been much more afflicted by disease than those living more remote. I presume the number of citizens living sufficiently near the Canal to be influenced by its water when it attains a noxious state, may be reasonably estimated at five hundred. Suppose the increased ratio of sickness is equal to five persons daily (one man and four women and children), for the months of July, August, and September. Let us place a cash estimate on this affliction. The women and children are self-sustaining; but their sickness involves a cash outlay in the way of physicians' bills and other extras of one dollar per day each. This make an aggregate of $400. The men lose their time, which is worth a dollar, and incur a dollar of expenses.— This would make another aggregate of $200. In consequence of the unhealthy influence of the Canal, therefore, citizens living near it annually incur an expense, by loss of time, physicians' bills, and other extras, of $600. If a cash value can be put upon the afflictions of our fellow-beings, this appears low. C. ———<>——— . . From tka On. jPr.o Cwrrtnt, Deo. 12M. Financial and Commercial Snmiuiiy iarthc Past Week. The President's Message, together with the spirit exhibited by Senators and Representatives from the Southern States at Washington during! the week, have ' made the gloom which bangs over the commerce of the country far more dark and impenetrable 3ince our last, and coundence iu the future is completely lost, -and no one is disposed to make any new engagements for the future. Credit is destroyed, and cash is now the only basis upon which business can be carried on. Time bills, eveu of the shortest dates upon any point, are unsaleable, so that the wheels of commerce are thoroughly clogged, and "the trade of the Republic stands still. This is a sad picture, we admit, but it is the simple state of the case. The money market is so tight that the negotiation of loans has become the exception and the rejection of the best mercantile paper the rule, aud 2 to 3 per cent, .a month the range, in cases where parties are forced to borrow outside, the regular banking bouses ; aod vet merchants from other leading cities say that

business is active with U3, and money cadr, compared with what it id with them, fu New Orkaus there were sixty-five failures

r,n lh llh (ih nl tk. mnlh anil ness ot alt kums tusiicurfed. lue ua'uKs there, in order to protect thcinielves, have prostrated the merchants. In New York, aod indeed all the seaboard cities, business matters are ia a sad 6tate. Money worth 15 , to 21 per cent, per annum, ami very difficult j to obtain at these rates. Sterling Exchange utJXt to uusaleable iu New York at G t j 10c discount: we mean, of course, below i its actual par or specie value. It is sad to ; contemplate this state of things, when ihe country really possetet) ail tire elements of! material prosperity, iu an eminent degree ; sad to think that the cause of all this is :t ' contest between men reputed to be sensible, ! and a miserable abstraction, an attempt to ; , vanqujfh an enemy which does not exist, a i mere quixotic crusade against nothing. ' The exchange market, as regards New i i ork and Boston, has been considerably firmer during this week, and rates advanci ed, closing with a continued upward teuj dency. Ou Philadelphia and Baltimore it j lias been quite unsettled, and rates lower j and irregular. We quote: ! Unying. Sfllinir. New York. Sight..

The mtirket for uncurrent money has lieen more unsettled during the past than the previous week, and rales of discount have advanced. The notes of all the Indiana Stock Banks have advanced to 2-dis., except the BlooiningUm Bank, Rockville Bank, Bank of Syracuse, Bank of Indiana, Indian Reserve Bank, Fayette County Bank, Bank of Connersville, Hoosier Bank, the notes of which are now 20 to 25 discount. Thompson's Bank Note Reporter of Saturday says : ''There is more hope of, but not sufficient confidence in the future, to change the business aspect of the street. The banks have acted expansively, and iv so doing have warded otr a revuMion. ' They discount almost all their acceptable offerings, but when paper of even undoubted character is offered in the street, it giv'.s at 12,18 per cent. " Foreign exchange is still from SQl per cent, under its specie value Sterling, 4(2;G, and French 5 45. The nominal is $4 4 1; to this add the premium of sty 5, and it makes a pound 4 00, whereas the specie is $4 80, or a sovereign. " Money can be U9ed at something more than double interest, iu buying foreign exchange and importing specie. " As at present advised, nil the State3 will pay their interest on the 1st of January, and Illinois will pay some three-quarters of a million of principal." Though there is a small business doing in most departments in the small way, yet trade U lifeless, and business men despondent not so much in consequence of the present trouble, but owing to a dread of the future. Dealers buy all articles simply aud strict ly with reference to their present pre?sin, necessities, and this embraces flour, pork, and the various articles of produce, as well as general merchandise. Hour arrived rather more freely, the receipts being 11,000 brls for the week, whilst the exports were ouly 5,000 brls. Prices were somewhat irregular, but not essentially lower ; but this is owing to the fact that there has been very little pressed upou the market. Prices may be quoted thus : Those who wanted to sell could not obtain over S4 f-r superfine, whilst those who had to buy had to pay $1 104 25. Extra flour sold at one time at $4 25, aud then again the same grade would bring $4 50. There is a difference of 25 fo 50c per brl iu the circumstances under which the transactions may have taken place. The demand consists of the city trade, and to fill orders from points in the iuterior. Wheat has ruled uomintil all the week, holders being unwilling to take less than i0c and 1 for prime red and white, which are above the views of millers fully 10c per bushel. Corn advanced to r.2 Rye declined to 55( '.5tc. Oats steady at 28. Barley at 70(V75 for prime. Whisky advanced to 14c in the fore part of the week, hutagain fell back to l.'i.l yesterday. The market tor bogs has been very much depressed, and prices ruled low. The number on the market has not. been huge at any time, as many of the drovers prefer packing on their own account to selling nl present prices, but the demand has nut been up to the tilferings any day, and prices settled down from day to day, until light tm,s sold as low as $4 (.VM 75 yesterday, whilst the best in the market were offered at $5. Palmers and drovers are generally holding their hoga back, expecting better prices, and but for this, prices would now be down to $-1. The fart is, there seems to be not enough confidence entertained by our packers in the future, to carry a heavy load of pork except at extreme low prices; and even if they had confidence, money is so scarce that they have not the means to goon without selling the product, and this cannot be done now to any extent. The advices f rom New York last evening looked more hopeful, and had a cheering influence upon tue feelings of merchants ; but something more tangible must take place before any improvement in prices need be looked for. At the close, last evening, a pretty p-onj business could have beeu done at J-t 7" 4 80, the English and Irish packers being willing to pay these rates; but holders asked $5 for good hogs, and contended for this rate firmly. We are now, in the receipts, behind most other seasons, during the last ten years, which is not owing to a scarcity of hogs, but simply consequent upon the panic, which induces owners to hold back. The receipts, however, are greater this se.tson than they were iu 1S57. The market for the hog product has been very much depressed, and the demaud quite limited. About 1,C00 brls mess pork have been taken to fill orders, at $13 75 to $14 25, according to brand ; but at the close the best brands could have beeu bought at $14 and 500 brls sold at this rate yesterday. Whilst brands not so well kuowu, could have beeu had at $13 50(VT,13 75. There has been very little doing in bulk meats aud prices have been quite irregular. We heard of a sale of 50 hhds. sides yesterday at GJ packed. Shoulders are held at 5 loose. Lard has ruled dull, and prime iu tierces has been offered the greater portion of the week at 0, but buyers talked of 8A8v and 200 tierces were bought at the latter rate Moudsy and yesterday ; it is difficult, however to buy prime below Uc. Old Bacon sold at GSc. for shoulders and sides. Three months ago it could have beeu sold at OiJlW.lle. There has not been much change iu the Grocery market. Sugar and Molasses ruled rather firmer, under the advices from New Orleans, and there is a fair jobbing demand from the country and city retailers at G to for sugar, and 2G27 tor molasse3. Coffee is unsettled under the unfavorable advices from the East and South, aud prices are very irregular, and we understand that prime has been sold at 13 for cash, though in the small way 13. (o 14 J is the taoge of prices obtained.
