to be cois&ed, we need only remark, that in
our opirlyn, the decision of the supreme Court
in the c1sse of Chase vs.. Miller, settles this
question that no rote can be legally cast except
in an Election District especially defined By taw,
and thai the forty third section Of the act of
July 2, 1889, in authorizing votes to be receiv-
ed in places other than districts so defined, ,cas
in ,qotatioa Of. tie Consultation of the common
,ceaitA, ,ssad consequently mrahd. Neither that
act nor anySotber law has constituted a camp
within Pennsylvania an election district. The
camp at or near Easton was not 40 designated,
ana the decision CT the Supreme Court must be
regarded as extending to it. THIS VOTE CANNOT,
THEREFORE,, BE COUNTED"
Nothing but the desperation of demagogues,
determ.ned to rule and ruin, can account for
the attempt now being made to defy the Con-
s,itution, the Courts of law, and the will of the
people Of Pennsylvania as fairly expressed at
the rec mt election.
WIin4 is the remedy for these wrongs? In
regard to executive officers the constancy of the
Court, may be relied on. Besides this, the
fraudaent election officers may be punished by
imprisonment for not less than three, nor more
than Twelve months, and fine of not less than
one hrAdrcd dollars, AMI be disabled from vo-
ting o,' holding office for seven years.
But the might that sumbers until aroused to
redress and revenge insutfarable wrong, is the
real remedy. Twenty-four years ago, STEVENS,
BURROWS and others, who are now arrayed a.
gainst tho verdict Of the late election. conspred

places, they proved that villains are always

How They Fire in Battle.

An army correspondent says: '.You wonder
whether the regiments fire regularly in volley
or whether each man loads and fires as fast as
he can. This depends on circumstances, but
usually, except when the enemy is near ut hand,
the regiments fire only at the command of their
officers. You hear drop, drop. drop, as a
few of the skirmisbers fire, followed by rattle
and a roll which sounds like the falling of
bull ling, Just as some of you have heard the
brick walls tumble at a great fire Sometimes,
when body of the enemy's cavalry are sweep
ing down upon regiment to cht it to pieces,
the men form into a square with the officers
and Musicians in the centre. The front rank
stands with bayonets charged, while the second
rank fires as fast as it can. Sometimes they
form in four ranks deep-the two front ones
kneeling with bayonets charged, SO that if the
enemy should come upon them they woaid run
against picket fence Of hayonets. When they
form in this way, tho other two ranks load and
fire as fast as they can. Then the roar is ter
rife, and many horse and his riler goes down
before the terrible storm Of bullets"

Secretary of the Commonweal'
Penalty for Refusing to Serve when
Drafted,

Much curiosity is evinced to know the pen
atty under the State and National laws for re-
fusing to serve when drafted.
The draft is enforced under an act of Con-
gress of July l7th, 1852, which states among
other things, that .'tic President as authorized TO
n,aks all necessary rules and regulations" in cases
where State laws are defective as to the enroll
ment or execution of the draft.
An act of assembly of Pennsylvania passed
in 1922, (j5th section, April 2I) uses the fol-
lowing language:
''Each and every* private of the mill
tia who shall have neglected or refused to serve
when callei into active service in pursuance of
an order or requisition of the President of the
United States, shall be liable to the penalties
defined in the Act of Congress of Feb. 2Sth,
l795, or any other Acts that may thereafter
be passed.
On reference to the Act of Congress referred
to. it will be found to embrace the following
points:
EVERY officer, non-commissioned officer or
private of the militia, who shall fail to obey the
orders of the President of the United States,
shall forfeit q sum not exceeding one
years pay, and not less than one months pay
to be determined and adjudged bya Courtmrtial
\; and such non-commissioncd officers and
priyatcs shall be liable to be imprisoned by Il
like sentence OH failure of payment of the fines
adjudged against them, for one calendar month
for every twenty. five dollars of such fine.
1t has been decided by the Supreme Court of
this State that those who disobey the requisi-
ton are not employed in the service so rs to be
liable to the articles Of war, but that they are
liable to be tried by Court.inartial under the
above act. Such Court-martial to be constitu-
tel under the authority of the United States.
