~ THINK--SPEAK-AcT Would that ey-
cry one could realize the vast importance
of these little words think, speak, act
In this world, where character is continu-
ally in state of formation, and scarce
ever reaches climax, it is no little thing
but behooves us that we reflect how 10
speak, think and act. In our lives is moi
visible the effect of our actions, but their
influences will show themselver when our
bodies are laid beneath the sod. The in
Auence Of many words and actions never
dies, but like circles in water when a
stone is cast into its bosom, keeps widen
ing, till we can scarce define it, or our
eyes reach its boundaries. Many times
our harp of humanity, the influence Of
which will vibnte throughout eternity
and it is the same if the influence be for
good or evil. Not a thought is in our
mind, not word escapes our lips, not an
action is performed, but that God is wit
ness of. How important it is, then, that
our every endeavor be for the good, and
that we weigh every thought, word and
action. If we do this, our influence will
assuredly be good, and such that we shall
never have cause to regret.

THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

At the late election for delegates to the
constitutional convention, at St. Paul, the
whole Black Democratic ticket was elect
ed, byagigantic system of fraud. There
were 2, $50 votes cast, a number yearly
one third greater than the city contains.
AT the city election last month, when
there was general turnout and every
voter was rallied, there were but 1,922
votes cast. The fraud was so gross and
and palpable that the Pioneer and Demo.
erat, the organ of the party in that city,
on the morning subsequent to the election
said:
"The election yesterday, was very an
mated aud exciting. The vote polled
was unprecedentedly large-so large, as
to create acell founded suspicious of fraud
to- most shameful ertent. On this subject,
however, we will defer all comments, I'M
til placed in the possession of reliable evil
dence. While the success of the Demo-
cratic party is a result in which we feel
vital interest, we shall never counter
ance the commission of illegal acts to Sc
cure it,
Every where this ''law abiding, claw
loving" party resorts to force and bold
violations of the law to secure and main
tain its supremacy. 1t is the same ruffian
usurpation every where, sticking at no
expednnt and hesitating at no outrage to
overcome and defy the law and popular
will Kaliey Wing.

Riots in New York.
New YORK, July s

NEW Iokk, Jul -.
Several riots occurred in this city yes
tcrday, the most serious of which origi-
mated in the Bowery. The fight continued
with great ferocity for an hour. Clubs,
stones, bottles and firearms were freely
used. The Five Pointers were gradually
driven back and beaten.
Eight persons were killed in this riot,
and about thirty, including several po-
licemen, wounded. Atone time the riot
ers had the streets barricaded, defying
the policemen, of whom more than 100
were present, and regiments of State
troops were ordered out and kept in re-
serve, but their services were not requir-
Cd, as the riot was finally suppressed ~
the exertions of the police. In minor
riots which occurred during the day, two
persons were killed and twenty or thirty
badly wounded. In nearly all the dis
turbances, the ex-policemen were con
spicuous actors. With the exception OF
these riots among the rowdies, the day
passed off finely. The weather was pro-
pitious, the military and civil displays
were brilliant and imposing. The fire.
works at Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and
other suburbs were of the most gorgeous
description.
The pyrotechnical display of the city
proper was postponed on account of the
partial damage to the pieces, caused by
damp weather.
Flying rumors of additional riots are
floating about this evening, but are with
out foundation. b
The military are under arms prepared
to act with decision.
