THE editor of the CHRoNICIE will
confer q favor upon many citizens o
this county by publishing in the ncxt
issue Of his paper the following
statement and proposition:
TO the People of JIontgon,er,
County: On last Monday, the writer
of this together with several other cit
liens, agreed to meet i'm convention
at New Providence, to select and nom
mate some good, reliable man of oul
own sort as n candidate to represent
the people of this county in the neXt
Legislature. Knowing that n large
majority of the citizens of this county
entertained feelings and opinions in
common with us and consequently
were strongly averse to supporting
either of the candidates then an.
nounccd for Representatives, we met
accordingly, being satisfied that none
of our accustomed political leaders
intended TO take any initiative ster
in this direction, although SO much
desired, from the fact that Col. Bailey
and Gen. Quaries had declared them
selves contented with the announce
ment already made; one i'm favor OF
Mr.. Lyle, the other for Mr.. Carkutf
We We're about to organize the con-
vcntiOn, when unexpectedly Col.
Bailey arrived, discovered what was
about to he done, and took ground
against il in favor of Mr.. Lyle. How
ever the convention was organized,
consisting of whatever persons Were
present, and opened for action. Col.
Bailey was called upon to make a
speech. He responded to the call by
making an earnest argument in sup
port Of Mr., Lyle, and closing by n
solemn appeal To the members of the
convention, invoking them by menu
cries of the past and duties they owe
Ia To the DISTINGUISHED, 10 desist from
the Object and give Their support TO
Mr.. INl that If for nothing else, it
was tie best policy: whereupon n
majority of the convention, touched
by the eloquence, earnestness and
tears of Col, Bailey's appeal, and in
consideration I'VE feel assured in say
ing 10 of the high appreciation they
have for him, yielded 10 the impulse
of the moment, and voted TO indefi-
nitcly postpone the convention. We
can not, however fOrego the conclu-
sion that this was done in Difference
To Col. Bailey's presence, and in COM
pliment to his expressed wishes, when
we calmly review the premises, and
realize how much we sacrifice and
risk upon his plan, which If il fails,
we elect the negro IL we succeed, we
can only feel, "B,ORs ipgcaHit, mas
quo RdSchiT.n
Now, therefore, in view Of these
facts, we suggest and insist that a
convention he called at an early day
for the sake of harmony and recon-
ciliationl of the people of this county,
and that the names of the candidates
he submitted 20 II and they pledged
Ia abide their decision. This, we
think, is reasonable and right, and
we hope this proposition will meet the
apVnpVal of the citizens.

LEAVENwoRTH, July I3.-The
Times and Conservative publishes a
full report of the great food at Poali,
Kansas. There were only two deaths
known 10 have occurred by drowning.
The loss OF property is very great
The streams near Paoli rose in few
hours to thirty feet, carrying OFF
houses, mills, fences, and everything
capable of floating. Paoli looked
very much like an island in lake.
All the county bridges are swept
away. Many hogs and cattles were
drowned. The crops on bottom lands
suffered severely. The flood subsidized
on Monday nearly ms rapidly as ii
rose. Many heroic deeds were per-
formed In saving the lives of those
who were in peril.

"Often when pleasure seems surest,
Its cloud-like entertainments depart,

And lost in the distance of tears"

WHY NOT GUARD THE BALLOT,

When Mr. Wards resolution, instructlng the
Judiciary Committee to report bill amending
the present laws so as to prevent the issue oi
fraudulent naturalization papers, was presseu
In tile last House, several Yea and Nay votes
were taken, which disclosed fact that we re-
cretted to observe. Some of our friends, rep
resenting districts in which the German ele-
ment is prominent-notably, men like Judd
Paine, and Loughridge-opposed this effort to
proyide against the atrocious frauds that dis
oraced our last election We trust these gentlemen
have better reasons than such obvious ones as
are likely to suggest themselves for course
40 onposite to what we should have expected
from them. And. in any event. we trust that
their opposition will not be suffered to.oyerDear
the earnest desire of the Republican party that
every native or naturalized citizen shouid Vote'
and that no others should. The Republican
marty does not profit by this fraudulent voting (;
does not encourage it; does not encourage
those who do and does not mean to make other
than clean record in favor of efforts to pre-
serve the purity of the ballot. Ii there Is
party willing to admit that it does these things,
very well. II can afford to oppose the move
ments for reform in our system OF natural
ization. a4
We regret to observe that this subject was
not set down on the list of matters which the
Senate caucus agreed should be pushed through
at this session. We had hoped that, before
another general election should be upon u.s.
the frauds of the last would be efectually
barred by wise legislation and rigid enforce
ment 1t is not too late yet; and we commend
the subject to all Congressman who do not re-
| gard the performances in the New York and
Philadelphia Courts last Fall as aids to the
| permanent prosperity of republican institu-

New-York tribune., 1869-04-10


We have reckoned the Fifteenth Amend
ment secure since the election in Connecticut
with or without the vote Of the States yet
We attach therefore less i'm
portance than the Senate seems to have done'
to the proviso requiring the assent OF their
Legislatures to the amendment before the
restoration of these States can be held com
plete But we rejoice most heartily at the
prompt passage, by both Houses, of the Re
construction bill, to which this proyiso
has been attached The Constitutions
are now to be submitted in such
shape that the people may purge
them of the odious disfranchsement features.
We look for prompt response IN
all the States, but especially in Nir-
ginia, to this wise lberality. The party
of leading Virginians who lately broke
loose from old alliances determined to
go heartily into the work of reorganization,
and asked such legislation from Congress, have
now an opportunity to show what popular
support is behind them. We know that
the country will not be disappointed at the
result; and we joyfully welcome the prospect
that the next session of Congress may see
gathered once more in their proper places the
Representatives and Senators from every State
of restored Union.

TIE CUBIN CAMPAIGN

Given, as seat of popular lnsuTrectI0n,
long, narrow island, with unhealthy coast and
a backbone of mountain fastnesses, with thou
sands of situations admirably adapted 10 nm
isolated defensive warfare, but without ready
means OF communication through a territory
which, though not so large as New-York, pre-
sents distances between its leading cities
greater than from tide-water to ChicagO;-
given n population alarmed and too scattered
for q close organization, but generally in SYM
pathy with the insurgents "a Power three
thousand miles away, itself i'll the later stages
of revolution, with few troops and less
money, straining its resources and its credit
to the utmost in the effort to reduce this island
to subiection the Government forces unac-
climated, ill-ftted for active operations, and
comparatively ignorant Of the country, the in
surgents hardy, familiar with the regions
through which they move, and exempt from
the teIrors which the approaching unhealthy
season brings to newcomers.
With such conditions what features would
a campaign be likely 10 cXbibit0 The prob
lem does not seem one of remarkable difficulty !;
the Journals which complain so yehemently Of
the confusion in the Cuban news might almost,
in Emersonan style, evolve its solution from
their own consciousness.
There could be no great battles, because
there are no great armies, and no means Of
rapid concentration. There could be even no
effective cooperation. Each little band, hay
ing its own stretch of country on which to
forage, and its own easy line OF retreat to
the mountains, would make little cam
paign Of its own. The insurgents Of to-day
would. on occasion, sink into the peaceful
nlanters of tomorrow. The country would be
turbulent, outbreaks would be frequent prop
erty and life would be unsafe, but the insur-
recton itself would be hard to fix. There would
be many attacks on isolated outpOsts,
many devices to harass the garrisOns,
every effort to wear out the enemy and pro-
long the struggle; but there would be few
attempts to hold large towns OF extensive
tracts of tho country. Operating in this way,
the insurgents would have nothing to defend /;
they would be free to embrace every oppor-
tunity for attack and their movements
would compel the enemy to waste his re-
sources in keeping up a multitude Of posts
and leave him no troops to take the field
Thus the contest would be prolonged; the
financial distress of the Mother Country would
be increased the army of the enemy would
be gradually weakened, and, as the hot season
approached, would come at last the Cuban oppor-
tunity. Meanwhile the whole field of the struggle
would be covered by mist of exaggeration
and uncertainty. In the absence of great en-
gagements, there would be multiudinous ac-
counts of small ones. which we might be sure
would lose nothing in their proportions
