The Way the Democracy Garry
an ElectiOn,

AT the recent city election in New
York there were two democratic. or
copperhead candidates for Mayor
Wood and Hoffman. The latter was
elected, and the manuer of it is thus
related by his opponent, in recent
speech at the Cooper Institute. Mr..
Wool said:
Il charge at the late election the
Tamany Hall organization imported
thieves from Philadelphia 10 vote
their ticket: that these thieves were
organized. in different wards in the
city, and that bands Of them voted in
more than sixteen wards and in more
than one hundred and twenty five
electoral districts. Cheers. More
than that; it is known that several oil
the inspectors Of election, after re-
ceiving the ballot from thu voter. sub
stitut,d another ballot and deposited
it in the box"
1t is common sa. ing WITH the
f,ithful, that democracy is the same
every where" We think it is in the
manner Of carrying elections at least,
The frauds here. and in Portsmouth,
are on smaller scale, but the same
i'm character.

THE HoME OF THE LITTLE PEoPLE.-
The Paris correspondent of the N. Y.
Post thus describes Lilliputian race;
Still another discovery--this time
from the eastern coast of Africa. Here,
according to Greek tradition,is the home
of the Pygmies. Certain veracious trav-
elers. profess to have discovered Lilli-
putian race, who are not more than half
metre high tabout foot and half }
These little people are back. extremely
intelligent, and social, and amiab!e
in their behavior towards their
neighors. They are designated among
these latter by the name of Cincelli,
which means wonderful. L Universe,
which relates the discovery of this
surprising people, recommends such of
its readers as wish to obtain vivid
idea of them. to study at the Museum
of the Faculty of Medicine, the wax
statue of Nicholas Rebe Ferri. This
was the dwarf, who in the last century,
was the darling of King Stanislaus of
Poland, and who was accustomed to be
put to bed in good sized slipper.

Grants Motive for Reticence.

The Boston Commonwealth introdu-
ces the letter, market private, recent
" communicated to the House of Rep
resentatives by Gen. Grant, with the
following remarks. which show just
appreciation of his character. and un
doubtedly explain correctly the motive
for that alleged reticence, which, to
certain people, is SO great source OF
uneasiness and distrust.
AS in the war of the rebellion "a
greater man than any who entered the
contest at its beginning was destined to
bring it to a successful close, so Low,
as we scan the political horizon, does it
seem probable that another than any
acknowledged statesman Of years ex-
perience is to have the honor to com
plete the restoration of the country TO-
ward which the surrender of Lee was
the first step.
All the signs of the times point to
the almost unanimous nomination. OF
Ulysses S. Grant by the Republican
Convention of May next, for the Presi-
dency. It's true he has been unusual
ly silent in declaring his views; bat this
may be easily accounted for upon not
improbable surmise that he does not
desire to beg for the nomination, That
he would feel honored to be solicited
by his fellow citizens to accept the
position, there is no doubt. But il
must be their free choice, uninfluenced
by any overtures of his own. Such a
character is rare in our politics, and
his singleness of purpose and disisssr-
estedness of motiKe win the popular ap-
plause. So far as Gen. Grant has
acted since the war closed, he-has
given evidence that he is a man OF ex'
traordinary good sense. That ne is in
full and hearty accord with Congress
has been evidenced in many ways and
on numerous occasions. In this last
respect we have the testimony of Sena-
tor Wilson, Representative Boutwell,
our late Congressman, Mr.. Couch, and
others of the Massachusetts, delegation
not to mention distinguished names
form other States. At the proper
time, withou. question. this will BE-
amply shown over the Generals ovr
signature; for the present, while the
nomination is pending. he will doubtless
remain silent and let his acts speak foi
him.

The Demon of Disorder

Johnson has made his long threat
eoed rem oval of Generals Pope and
Swayne, and has added the removal
of Gen. Ord, which was not before
given out. Ord is ordered TO Califor-
mia. to relieve Mcdowell, who then
takes Pope's place. who is not as
sjcLed, hut is ordered TO report to
.headqusrters for further orders
Gen. Srayne is ordered to the com.
mand Of his regiment at Nashville =
The commanders are removed for
,h.ir fidelity in executing the law
We suppose that no American im-
agines that it is for any other reason.
They who will rejoice in their reno
val are those who are opposed to the
law. and would have defeated it,
johnson 3 design is to put in those
who will use their power to thwarl
the Reconstruction laws and rreven,
the formation of State Governments
under them. For this evil purpose
we have this reckless meddling which
removes officers who have become
thoroughly acquainted with the sit
nation and their duties, and put ID
new .el Who have everything t'
learn. But they are expected ts
learn all from Johnsons inspiration
The displaced officers have dis
charged their duties with zeal and
fidelity, and they deserve well o
| their country. In the unhappy stat
of this Government, every Office
who deserves well nf his country
encourages the hostility of the Ad
ministration.

EW- Two items of intelligence
from Europe incline US to think that
serious business is coming of the
Papal question. The French troops
at Civita Vecchia will return to Rome
reinforced. That is Napleon's an
swer to the action OF the Italian Par
lament, in forcing the defeat of the
Conservative Ministry. The Parlia-
ment has voted not to pay the inter
est on the debt of the provinces, now
Italian, which was created while they
formed part of the Papal temporal
lies. The announcement that it in
tends presently to reaiIirm the Turin
resoluti on declaring Rome de facto
the capital of italy, tends to couirm
what we have repeatedly stated, that
the Party of Action will force the
King either TO act or abdicata. His
negotiations with France for the
the aborgation of the September
Convention have been abruptly ter
minated 10y the hasty action of the
Parliament, and it now looks as
though the sword must settle ques

The Murder of Congressman Ham
ilton.

Hon. G. S. Hamilton. the Member of
Congress from the Delaware District,
and who will be remembered by many
of our citizens as associate speaker
with Gen. Lee at one of tho Union
meetings here during the late canvass.
was murdered on the gel by his in
sane son. The Dayton Journal gives
the particulars as follows:
Mr.. Hamilton received a telegraphic
dispatch at Washington last week, de-
string him to return home Immediately
as his son Thomas, aged about seven
teen years, had exhibited symptoms OF
lunacy of character decidedly dan
gerous. Mr.. H. returned home at once
and took the unfortunate SON under his
immediate charge. On Sunday morn
ing last, after an early breakfast, Mr.
Hamilton went to the stable yard, a
few rods from the house, to superin-
tend the feeding, taking Thomas with
him. While the father was STOPPING
down to pick up some corn. Thomas
picked up strip of ash plank, and
struck him a blow over the top OF the
head, frightfully crushing the skull.
and doubtless killing him Instantly
The maniac son then covered the body
with fodder, and started for the house
On the way there he passed the wood
house, where he caught up an ak; and,
seeing his mother near the kitchen
door, be sprang toward her with the
drawn az. At this moment. his broth
er, q lad aged about twelve years, ran
toward them; and the man:ac seeing
him. left the mother, and ran after him.
The boy ran for the house, intending
to get into a room and lock the door
after him. but the maniac pursued
him too closely, and he ran through a
room, and was just passing out OF tAe
hall door into the yard, when the for
mer struck him a glancing blow with
the ak, inflicting wound about three
inches long, and two inches deep. in The
left shoulder blow which would
have cut him in two, had it struck him
souarely. At this instant still young
er brother ran through the hall, scream
ino murder, and the attention OF tht
maniac was diverted to him. and tht
wounded boy crawled out of sight. BY
this time a neighbor. who had heard
the screams, appeared on the scene
and confronted the maniac with clu"
Thomas hesitated moment at the new
conner; and the neighbor not wishing tt
iniure the young man, suddenly rushed
in on him, bore him to the ground. ant
held him firmly, while Hon. Mr.. Law
rence-who appeared in the vicinity
wrested the ak from his grasp. H'
was then bound, and removed to the Jal
for safe keeping.
Medical aid was procured for th'
wounded boy, and search was made fo1
the father, who was missing, and fo1
whose safety the worst fears were en-
tertained. His body was discovered
under a pile of fodder. where it haf
been secreted by the maniac son aite
death.
After being secured and taken to Jal

refused to speak on any subject unit

He said he struck his father twice wit

The Secretary Of the Treasury,
Mr.. McCuLLocH, in. his report 10
Congress, ably defends the National
Banking system-cons siders it an in
peraiive necessity in the financial
afrsirs of the government, and thinks
its destruction would be a great ca
-lamity to both the Government and
the people.
We do not know so much about the
National banks being a valuable all
to the Government, in its financial
afairs-we are willing TO take Mr.. Nc
Culloc!l's word for that, backed as 1t
is by both experience and knowledge
but we do know that it furnishes
the people with the best currency
that they have had since the days oi
the old U. S. Bank. It's paper is
good wherever you gn. Under the
old system Of State Institutions, one
could not GO five hundred miles from
home, and in some cases not even
one hundred, without having to GO
into some brokers Office, and there
selling his currency for what he could
get. Now, the brokers occupation,
in that respect, is gone. The Ma
tional bank currency is as good IN
one section of the country as another
it is par everywhere, simply for
the reason that it is good, having the
faith of the Government pledged for
4 its redemption. Then, under the
/ old system, whenevera bank failed,
the unfortunate bill holder lost all
Now, they may all fail, still the bill
holder is secure, az the Government
has in its vaults its own bonds in
ratio of one hundred Thousand dol
l,rs for every ninety thousand ol
paper issnetl. We say, therefore, sc
TAR as the interests of the people are
concerned, it is the best system We
have ever had. Being thus valuable
to the people, they should frown
down all attempts to destroy it.
