Louisville Journal Nonsense.


The telegraph has announced that
a majority Of the Suffrage Committee
in the Reconstruction Convention Of
Alabama have submitted report
DISTINGUISHING all who refuse to vote
for or against the Constitution when
submitted to the people" The Lou
isville Journal discovers in this re-
markable specimen of full blown
tyranny ~ 1t says the object Of the
measure is to prevent the rejection of
the CONSTITUTION by the lack of quo
rum of votes. It thinks the Radicals
would disfranchise all who would
vote against the Constitution, if there
was any danger of its being voted
down. They know hat the Constitu-
ton can only be rejected by the abb
sence from the polls OF Conservatives
in such numbers as to preEepta quo
rum. Hence, they propose, with the
view of soaring a portion of the Con-
servatiyes to the polls, the disfran-
chisement of all who abstain from
voting.
We were not aware, before, that the
j. unal fed its readers upon such
nonsense. Will that paper inform us
how clause in the new Constitution.
DISTINGUISHING all who vote against
it, can be made available1in case the
whole instrument is voted down and
rejected by the people? IF the Con-
servativesshaye it in their own power,
by Staying away from the polls, to
prevent the adoption of the new Con-
stitutionf by the required vote. how
can a. clause in the rejected instru-
ment punish them for thus securing
its defeat? With men knowing their
rights threats amount to little. If
the Radicals have the object in view
suggested by the Journal, in disfran-
chising all who refuse to vote on
the new Constitution, they are as
short-sighted as that paper. The
Constitution must be- adopted by the
people to have a binding obligation
upon anybody. If the Conservatives
have the power to secure its defeat,
either by voting CT staying away from
the polls, and yet refuse to exercise
the power, they deserve all the penal
ties the instruments may ipfictTupon
them.

How lt7Was Done.

The New York Citizen is one Of the
ablest Democratic papers published
in that city. Its editor has always
been staunch partisan, and contrib
uted, by his pen, to build up the
party. He understands, thoroughly,
the workings of parties in the city,
and the following is his testimony as
to the manner in which the Demo
cratic majority was swelled so enor-
mously in the last election by the
Tammany organization. We do not
expect the Courier to copy the para
graph for the benefit of its readers:
& It is notorious that the Tammany
organization. utterly INSCRIPTIONS,
and with uncontrolled access to the
City Treasury, must have spent an
aggregate of not less than 100000
Of private and public money in the
recent contest. All the pay.rolls of
the city departments for the past two
months have been heightened and
strengthened by thousands upon
thousands of sinecure ''inspectors "
and other place holders-assigned to
nominal duty, but really with no
other charge than to electioneer for
the Tammany candidates. Apart from
these sources Of public or place
holding corruption. we have reason to
know, beyond any question, that the
friends of one single lTammany candi-
date subscribed and, paid out in his
behalf, and for his private benefit, in
the late contest, a sum more than four
times the aggregate Of the entire sum
in the hands of the Democratic Union
Treasurer for the conduct and organ
izatiOn of our entire campaign.
1t is notorious, also, that with the
enormous money power thus placed
under its control, there was an enOr-
nous illegal or . repeating" vote or
ganized and registered in the Tam
many Interestingly not less than from |
IL, 900 to 10000 fraudulent votes-of |
which not less than from 10000 to /
$4,000 reached the ballot box in favor
of the Tammany candidates; the re- !
mainder being either scared off by the |
activity and early arrests of the police, |
or being enable, Ffrom sheer lack of
time between sunrise and sunset, to
vote In as many election districts as
they were 1registered} in-one case !
having been trustworthily reported to
US of man who was registered in no
less than SO election districts! Hold
ing these facts in view. let US now
and review what was the fate
Of our candidates.

PoMERoY's paper is the exponent
Of Democracy in this part of our own
State and in the-adjoining sections of
Kentucky. His ideas and words
his blasphemy and ribaldry-his trea-
sonable and filthy utterances Of every
description-they gfoat over and roll
under their tongues asa sweet morsel.
The paper has larger circulation in
this District, we are. informed, than
any other Democratic paper. 1t
boasts of having the largest eireula-
ton of any Democratic paper in sthe
United States. Hence, it is repre-
sentative paper, and its editor is
representative party man. During
the last campaign he was imported
into our State expressly to make
Democratic speeches; and his paper
is read by thousands because it cor
rectly represents their ideas of de-
cency, patriotism, morality, and reli-
gion. The Courier don't copy from
it so much as it would like to, no
doubt, because it is too extensively
taken and read in this. District.
There are honorable and respectable
men in the Democratic party; and
howv they can itamely submit to be
represented by such an obscene, sian
derous, and immoral paper, is a mys-
terry that we are incapable of solving.
Yet, in this Congressional District, it
may be found inH several families of
so-called Christians. Heaven pre-
serve the country whenl party, of
which so vile a wretch is proper
representative, obtains control of its
affairs -
