poses, the members of the Electoral Colleges

Suoh is brief outline of the history of our
previous Presidential elections. The contrast
between the original practice and the one now
in vogue is great, and it is a matter of grave
doubt as to which is the better of the two.
But we greatly fear that the Democratic masses
will not appreciate the device of the InteIi-
gencer, and will not vote for Seymour the
incapable and Blair the revolutionary, under
the delusive hope that their votes will ulti-
mately go towards installing in Office men
who are not so Objectionable.

An English Electioneering Device.

An English ElectiOneering Device.
SIR howard THORNTON, the British Minister,
has permitted large-sized animal of the feline
species to escape from the bag. He confe5ses
that Lord Stanley's anxiety to dispose of the
vexatious Alabama claims arises from the fact
that the Parliamentary elections in England
take place next month"; and the present Tory
administration desire to go before the people
with . specimen of successful diplomacy, as a
companion to the glorious termination Of the
Abyssinisn war under their auspices. SO the
extreme courtesy and cordiality which have
been extended to Reverdy Johnson by the
English Tories constitute nothing more nor
less than an electioneering dodge on q gigantic
scale. If justice be done to the claims of the
United States, it will be merely for the sake of
party glory, and not because justice is the
policy of the English rulers. But we cannot
complain because of this sinister aspect Of the
recent negotiations. II the Alabama claims
are settled to our satisfaction, and that right
speedily, we shall have cause to rejoice at the
narrow straits for political capital to which
the followers of Disraeli find themselves re-
duced.

The Democratic Masses

THE investigation into the naturalization frauds
in New York city reveals q state of affairs
which casts the most reckless proceedings OF
Mr.. Sharswood and his tipstaves entirely into
the shade. 1t will be remembered that these
frauds were being perpetrated by one Rosen :
berg, who was the chairman of the Tammany
Naturalization Committee, a3ting thus under
the direct sanction and authority of August
Belmont, John T. Hoffman, and the other
leading Democrats of New York. The testi-
mony elected on Saturday at the preliminary
examination before United States Commis-
sioner Osborn was of the most startling cha
racter. One of the witnesses-a thoroughly
reliable man, who was placed on the track of
Rosenberg by the United States Marshal-tes-
titled as follows
'At the first interview I asked Rosenberg
actat Le cost would be- and he replied two dollars
upst ce; he said You do not liue his but aOhen
hand you these certificates you present me with t,0o
dotldrSJoT each poper.'"
The same witness further testified
"Mr Rosenberg told me that 1T was not ne.
cessaIy for me to pay him for the papers until
i received them, and that If IOdnted five thou.
sand more could haze Them bv Stn,plygtvtng him
be said that one dollar ioas 10 be pa,d 10 e person
tOho Pe7Sondted The principal and one d0Edr TO The
person Person0ted tae ,Oft.SS; that he did
want TO mar any Thing, nor want me to make
anything; that he was simply doing this for the
benefit of the parry"
Another witness testified that in an inter-
view with Rosenberg the following tran
spired:-
~ said there were a good many men about
the gas works who wanted their papers out,
and said would like TO know what he would
charge for a large quantity; nc concluded thG. he
Uottd take tho dollars piece for anything bGLoW
a hundred and for oHythtng over q huhdred q
dollar ana a haV apiece"
To one of the witnesses Rosenberg con-
fessed that he had sold Seven thousand natu-
ralization certificates in this shameless manner
ROsenberg's Office for the transaction of this
nefarious business was located in the base
ment of an establishment at No. 6 Centre
street, known as the GEL Dorado" on one side
of which there was lager beer saloon, while
the work of forging naturalization papers was
transacted on the opposite ride of the same
room, with no apparent attempt at conceal
ment.
To such desperate and high handed mea
sures are the "friends" of Horatio Seymour
obliged to resort in order to indulge in the
hope of elevating that model Christian gentle
man and patriotic statesman to the highest
position within the gift of the people.

THE "WEED" has a strong hold upon the
assembled goodness and wisdom Of the Epis-
copal Church. The authorities and pew
owners of the building in which the General
Convention of that denomination is being
held, in New York, have been forced to enter
protest against the reckless salvation of the
members. The sinners who are addicted to

WHAT WENT With THE LETTERS.

There is young lady In Cincinnati who has
beau.
The beau is q nice young man, and writes letters
to her,
In exchange for which she writes letters the nice
young man.
She kept the nice young mans letters in o safe
place, in her trunk.
But abe doesn't keep them now any more, tor they
are gone.
And this is the manner In which they departed.
She left her trunk open the other day. Her little
brother Jim got the bundle letters out of the trusk.
He stood at the of the street with the bundle
And he handed the letters ont one to each passerby,
till the whole bundle was gone.
The way they found 1t out was tha Jim handed one
of the letters 10 the nice young mans cousin, who
brought 1t TO headquarters.
The moral OF this beautiful story is that Jim was
spanked and put 10 bed, instead of being presented
with nice new suit from ROCKHILL q WILSON'S.
All good boys, nice young men, anu people OF the
male persuasion generally are crowding this TALL to

has been prospecting Tor Isinglass for some
time. Recently he discovered some loose

Upon examination, it was discovered that
there was vein of 1t. It has been traced
half a mile in length it is three feet thick,
and at least five feet deep-how much more
has to be found out by further digging.
Isinglass is used wherever a transparent

coal stoves, etc. The specimen we have
seen of the Catawba Isinglass is perfect
The sheets are large, and it is as clear as

The market value of Isinglass is from s.

by Wno. j. Clarke, Esq, June 24tb, 1868,
The old Clerk sits in his Office chair,
And his head white as snow:
His sight is dim and his hearing dull,
And his step is weak and slow.
But his heart is stout, and his mind is clear,
AS he copies each decree,
And he smiles and says. as the Judges pass,
"'Tis the last Court shall see."
But Re fingers on till his work is done,
To pass with the old regime,
When he lays his pen, with smile, aside,
To stand at the Bar Supreme
For the old Clerk dies with the Court he served
For forty years save three;
And breathes his last as the Judges meet
To sign their last decree.
The pointed s,oord, at has naked hearts
With child-like smile he views,
For his spirit glows with the fervid heat
Good deeds alone diffuse.
For like his Ldnlb-Skin apron 2u7tUe+
Is the life that he has led,
And Sinai brings before the Court
No accusation 'gsinst the dead ;
While Calvary unbars the gates
Of Heaven, and entrance gives
Unto his soul, which meekly saith,
g know that my Redeemer lives"
