Election Laws.

The Legislature at its last session
passed a law bearing upon elections,
which was noticed at the time, but
as its provisions are of great import
ance we deem it proper to give them
publicity now in order that our
friends, who are not all posted in
this matter, shall secure a represent
ative on every election board in the
county. Two Of the trustees elected
act as judges, and the candidate re-
ceiving the most votes Of those not
elected, constitutes the third. In
cases of tie votes the matter is de-
cided by lot:
SECTION G. That the judges of election fol
every election precinct, at all elections holden
under this act, or the acts amendatory there
of, or supplementary thereto, shall be chosen
/ and constituted as follows, to wit
FTSt-In every tow nship, and for the town
ship election precinct therein, said judges shall
consist of the two electors, receiving, hereafter
| at any general April election, the highest
number of votes for the office of trustee Of
such township, and the elector receiving there
at the highest number of votes for said office
of those not elected thereto: provided, if, OF
those elected township trustees, at any elec-
ton, two have an equal but not the highest
| or, if the three have the same, or, if of those
not so elected two or more have the highest
and an equal number of votes for said Office

shall, without delay, publicly determine, by

comprise more such precinct than one, the

be one of the judges of election for one such

vided in section seven of this pct The clerk

Prussia begins to be alarmed a
the apparent alliance between Rus
sia, and Austria, with perhaps Italy
and England. The personal hatred
which King William appears to have
to the French, leads him to wish to
take Paris, and dictate terms from
the palace of the Tuilleries. In per
suance of this determination Ire has
manifested an imperiousness which
has not been relished by neutrals,
who would have interposed to save
the utter humiliation of France, and
they have imagined they saw in
Prussia a power which meant, here
after, to dictate the policy of Europe.
AS a means Of protection against it
the alliance appears to have been
formed and it may not be long be-
fore the effect of the union will
make itself visible, in the possession
of the Dardanelles by Prussia.

Nor ELATED.-The Democracy
were jubilant, little earlier in the
season, but are beginning to hang
their harps on the willows again.
-Four elections have been held, two
states and two territories in which
not a solitary Democrat was elected.

Now, reader, we care not whether
you are a Republican or a Democrat
please look at these facts.
Is it not astrange thing that the
taxes have been higher and greater
every year since the war, than dur
ing its continuance? Is it not stran-
ger still that the taxation in one
year during the war, was as great as
any year since its close? And is it
not strangest Of all, that during the
peace from 1866, to 1870, the govern
ment collected one billion, fire hu1,-
d,'ed and tfty one million Of dollars
more from the people, than 1t did dur-
ing the cjra war, n period Of five
years?
The question naturally arises, why
should there be higher. taxation in
Peace than War, and what has be-
come of all the excess of money?
-BucyrUs Forum.
Not at all. In the first year of
the war Congress had adjourned
without making any provision to
raising any revenue, aside from that
secured by the tariff. In the second
year of the revenue system only be-
gan to take shape, and it was not
until in the third year of the war
that any large amount of taxes
were levied, which was increased
the two following years. Meanwhile
the debt of the country increased
rapidly, until the interests upon it
alone reached an amount more
than the taxes collected, the third
year Of the war. Then, when peace
was declared, the immense amounts
due on contracts had to be paid, the
bounties and pensions had to be ar
ranged and paid, the interest on the
public debt had to be met, and pay
ment had to be made on the public
debt.
No, sit isnot strangest of alp that
the government should be obliged
to raise so much revenue to meet the
extraordinary expenses forced upon
the country by Democratic war,
which was bequeathed to the country
as dying legacy by that party. But
it is "strangest of alp that that party
should now seek to make its follow
ers believe that the expenses of the
country could be as low as they were
before the war commenced, or any
of the causes named had occurred to
require greater expenditures.
OF the $4OS,OOO,O0O of revenue
collected last year, but $SO,882,935-

ses necessitated by the Democratic
war. The balance went to pay the
public debt, and reduce the interest
thereon.

DIR. SKELLNGER (Scallawag, would
express it beLterl, writes to the
Messenger from New London, en-
couraging Van to look for a large
vote for Dickinson from that neigh
borhood. The Doctor is "Wise in
his own conceit," but is vastly less
wise than conceited. He was a Re-
publican as long as there was a
ghost of change for a nomination

thing, from dogpelter up to Congress
or-the Presidency, it didn't matter
which.
We recolect once, about fifteen
years ago, when he was q candidate
for three different offices, in the same
day, before the same convention.
But he never could get the party
to "see him." When johnson
'swung round," the Doctor followed
suit, and was after everything from
Postmaster of the village, to Marshal
of the District. Even in that COM
pany he failed to be seen, and then
he, "went for" the Democracy. In
his short career in that communion,
he has assaulted several positions
but failed to carry either. His last
attempt yielded him two votes in

The War.

The situation is but slightly diff
ferent, around Paris. Much skir
mishing, and considerable heavy
fighting has been reported, with vary
ing fortunes. The efforts of Favre
to secure an armistice, until consti-
tuent assembly could be chosen,
we're unsuccessful, except at a sacri-
fee not deemed expedient to make.
Still, Strausburg and Toul which
were demanded, have since fallen in
to their hands,and it is possible Metz
may meet the same fate; the war, then
goes on, and all, so far as France is
concerned, depends upon the ability
of Paris to hold out. fits capacity
ofresistance is sufficient to enable it
to hold out until new armies are
marsahled in the south Of France,
the nation may yet be able to make
a show Of resistance.

Wake Up! The 'Philistines be Upon
You"

Republicans,y you rely too much up
on your fancied security, and i'm
agine that the intelligence of all
men should convince them that the
country is prosperous, the debt is
being rapidly paid, and that the
people are so well satisfied that they
would not accept any change in the
administration of affairs. The ma
jorityof the people would doubtless so
decide and act, if left to themselves.
But you know little of the arts of
the demagogue, ifyou suppose they
will be allowed to do so. No, no.
He is at his tricks, and his emi-
saries are travelling round, and by
Misrepresentation and misstate-
ments are seeking to mislead the
mass to the belief that only by the
success of the Democracy can their
rights be assured-that they will
pay of the debt at once, abolish all
taxes, DC. They cry Ryodigacy and
extravaganza against an admins
tration that has proven itself both
able and economical, and they insist
on their followers turning out to a
man to return their member to Con-
gress.
Republicans, will you be less ac-
tive than they? Will you see them
misleading your neighbors, and not
bestir yourselves TO defeat their
Vaccinations. You have the power
to defeat them, and it only remains
for you to use it. Resolve, then to
60 to the polls, and see your neigh
Dor who votes as you do, and get
him 20 make q similar resolve.
Spend little time in this matter
Wake up yourself, and rouse your
neighbor, and both together vote to
uphold the hands of our great Cap
tain and leader, by aiding in making
a Congress for him that is not against
him.
Committee men should see to it
that every voter is got out to the
election, remembering the axiom
that a full vote is a Republican vic
tory.

The Radical press is still harping upon the
Hnaturalization frauds" as they term them,
but do not condescend to explain why Mr.,
Dickinson was not given trial after having
several times expressed his readiness to do so.
After his election in October, 1868, great
noise was made about the matter for the sole
purpose of giving Grant a large majority,
After that election nothing was said on the
subject, but the indictment was quietly allow
ed to rest over him, in spite of his frequent
requests to have the investigation go on, in
competence with that provision in the Consti-
tuition which gives to every man fair and
speedy trial. The Courts, which were, and
are now, in the hands OF Radicals, refused
him, solely to make capital against him in
this campaign.-Seaeca AdUertiSer.
Republican papers have answered
that question time and again, and
you know it. Furthermore you are
afraid to give one of those answers
to your readers, but profess to them
that no reason is given. Dickinson's
case was called up, but he acas not
ready for trial. At his request the
trial was t,0ice postponed,and before
itcould be again reached the question
arose as to the right of the Probate
Court to issue papers at all. A case
involving that issue was referred to
the U. S. Supreme Court, which has
not yet rendered its decision.
Meanwhile Dickinson claims to be
ready for trial, but if the case should
be decided before the Supreme Court
Tomorrow and the District Court
announce its readiness to try him,
Dickinson would be non est, and both
