RAYONETS AT THE POLLS.

| The article which we copy to-day from the
Philadelphia Age, ought to arouse the atten-
| ton and excite the fears of every man in this
country who is free and who desires to re-
main free. The ballot is the very corner
stone upon which the edifice of this govern
ment rests. The man or the party that assails
it in any way to prevent the utmost freedom
in the exercise thereof, is an enemy to the
country and its people. The right was pur-
chased with sutferings, blood and death OF
our ancestors, it is hallowed by the memories
of blessings innumerablc, and should be de-
Tended to the last resort The act of march
ing armed soldiery to the polls in Philadel-
phia was an outrage and a shame--it was
more, it was revolutionary, and its author
should be punished with the utmost rigor Of
the law.
| 1t will be seen by the article we reproduce
elsewhere, that the act was done under
color or pretense Of authority from the late
act of Congress for regulating the election OF
members of that body. There is no show
of authority in the Constitution for the exer-
else of this power; and there is no more call
for sweeping and stringent act Of the kind
now than there has been at any time since
the formation of the government,
The statute in question provides that in
every city Of over twenty thousand inhabi-
tants the Judge of the Circuit Court shall APP
point two inspectors of registration and
election, one of each political party-which
assumes that there will never be but two
parties, and renders some queer complica
lions puo,ihlu II tl.e-o al-.,ulu DE more. Incy
shall be present at every registration of clti-
zens entitled to vote for members of Congress,
and at every election where such members
are chosen and at every counting of the vote.
They are to attach their names to the register
of voters and to all certificates of the number
of votes cast, and they may add to such GER
tiicates any statement of their own in regard
to the truth and fairness of the count. Any
one who binders them in the discharge of
their duties is punished by Imprisonment not
less than year. The United States Marshal
may also appoint as many deputies as he
man see fit, to preserve order at any such
election, said deputies having authority to
arrest, on view, any person committing u
breach of the peace or other offence.
This law is characterized by that impudent
intermeddling in the local elections which
has marked the guardianship of the Southern
states. Applied to the north, it will be sure
to create heart burnings. disturbances and
riots. In Philadelphia it resulted in the
death of one man at the polls. The act of
the United States Marshal in Philadelphia
shows the manner in which that class of Off
proof were needed, it is found in the fact that
the outrage goes unrebuked by the President
of the United States, whose creature the
Marshal is.

AN ENoCH ARDEN CASE. Some nineteen
or twenty years ago, u young couple were
married in q neighborin : town. They lived
happily together for three or four years dur
ing which time child was born, when the
husband was taken with the "Callornia
fever" and left for the land Of gold. For
some time letters We're received from him.
but suddenly they ceased to come, and years
passed by without word. Everybody gave
him up for dead and the lonely wife was at
last constrained to admit that it must pc 50.
About ten years since, she married again
and lived with husband No. ,, until last week,
when unexpectedly to all, husband No.
made his appearance, II Ia Enoeh Arden;
But he didn't go and die nuch-he Just stood
up for his rights, and the consequences was
that the lady in question returned to her first
love and they have started for California to-

which was born in the second union. All
this was accomplished, we hear, in an AMIGA

Gen. McMahon speaks very di,plra%ingIy
of the condition of the French army, and AT
tributes its defeats in the present war to the
extensive prevalence Of socialist ideas, by
which discipline has been materially relaxed.
The officers lack control Of the soldiers, who
treat them with familiarity, contempt, and
even insult. On the other hand. the soldiers
complain of their officers and attribute their
i'll success lner having been 50 badly lcd.
The French mode of fighting has been much
changed in the present war They now en-
ploy cavalry, especially cuirassiers, for the
attack, while the infantry generally awaits
the attack in strong positions behind earth
works and rifle-pits. This is the cause OF the
enormous prussan losses. In the battle OF
Sedan the artillery dit the most service.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The long pending suit of the stockholders
OF the old kennebec Il Portland Railroad
Company against the bondhoders who fore
closed and took possession of their road has
just been decided by the Supreme Court
Judge Dickerson delivered the decision at
Ellsworth, which dsmisses the bill. and
leaves the road in possession of IFS present
managers. The Bangor Wing gives the
following history OF the case
The railroad from Portland to Augusta was built
by subscriptions of the towns and people situated
along its line, to whom the bonds of the company
were issued to the amount of their subscriptions
and it was named the Kennebec & Portland OK. &

avoid confusing it with the Penobscot & kennebec

rupt through its inability to meet its bonds when
they fell due, the road passed into the hands of the
bondholders Other parties, having subsequently
purchased the controlling interest in the bonds,
organized new corporation, and the p. & X. road
from Bangor having changed its name to the Maine
Central, the company adopted the title of the Port
land e. Kennebec Railroad Company, and, after
securing the legislation necessary for assuming its
management, proceeded to run the road under its
new name, in which they have been very success
full:
Railroad Company, then filed a bill in equity, in
which they asserted their right to redeem the road
from the bondhOders, and the case has been con-
tested up to its final decision as announced above
This decision, in affirming the title of the present
organization to the road and its franchises removes
the only conditional issue between the Maine Cen
trail and 7. & X. Railroads in their contract of
lease or consolidation, those articles of agreement,
as adopted at the meeting Of the stockholders of the
Maine Central in Waterville last summer, being
conditional upon the decision of this case in favor
