hood Of where live; 1 saw a party Of strangers
going from poll to poll In the ward that day; they
were accompanied by a man by the name OF Mo
GoniRle, another by the name OF McGrath, and
Anthony Laws; none Of those parties lived in the
ward, except the leaders"
1t is perfectly useless for decent citizens to
complain of bad management and rasoality in
the public offices when they are willing to go
to the polls and vote for such men as An
thony A. Laws, and the best way to secure
good nominations is to let the party managers
know that such characters cannot be elected
under any circumstances.
Between Laws and the Republican candi-
dale, Mr.. William M. Bum, there need be
no hesitation. Mr. Bum served with dis
tinction as private soldier during the war,
and he received severe wound that entities
him to the consideration of his fellow citi-
zens. He was twice elected member of the
Legislature, in each instance running ahead
of his ticket, as it is not improbable he will
do at the coming elestion, especially when
the notorious character of his opponent is
taken into consideration.

voters there ought to be large majority for
the Republican candidates. 1t only requires
a moderate degree of wisdom, and an avoid
ance of divisions and of the ruinous policy
of making weak or Objectionable nomina-
tiops, to secure the permanent and decided
ascendancy of the Republican organi-
cation here. The attempt to
establish in our midst the infamous system
of tactics which has made New York so de-
cdedly Democratic cannot prevail against the
new precautions embraced in the State and
national legislation of the last few years, and
the wise resolution adopted by the Supreme
Court after the exposure by THE EVENING
TELEGRAPH of the abuses which had been per-
petrated in its name. However much some
of our desperate Democratic leaders may
wish to initiate the example set by the Tam
many politicians of carrying great city and
controlling great State by fraud and force,
their most wicked efforts can at best be
crowned with only partial success in Phila-
delpha

THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

The late demonstration made by a strong
division of the French armies in Paris against
the Prussians appears to have been a vigorous
but unsuccessful sortie, instead of an import
ant victory. 1t indicates that the garrison of
the invested capital embraces a considerable
number of disciplined troops, but that they
are unable to cope with the irresistible Ger
mans, or to prevent the construction of bat
teries in the vicinity of the beleaguered
capital.
The elections for a Constituent Assembly
we're only postponed for a short time, and
they will be held during the present month,
so that the establishment of regular govern
ment in France may soon be anticipated.
This step is equally necessary whether the
war is to go on or treaty Of peace to be ne
gotiated. The recent publication of letters
said to have been found in the Tuileres,
throwing discredit upon the public and private
character of Napoleon, has direct reference to
these elections, as there is no little danger
that considerable number, if not an over
whelming majority, of Imperialists will be
chosen by bigoted or benighted constitu-
encies; and the Republicans will find it no
easy task in spite of Napoleon's crimes and
blunders, to destroy his hold upon the conf
dence of portions of the peasantry.
While these elections are pending, the work
of drilling, arming, and organizing new re-
cruits is actively progressing in many por-
tions of France, and deep feeling of indig-
nation is being aroused against the invaders,
who are accused of many atrocious acts.
Whether these charges are true or false, they
are believed by large portion of the French
people, and if the contest is prolonged it will
scarcely fail to assume sanguinary character.

RRGLSTER OF Wills.

"ANIHoNY A. LAWS is the Democratic candi-
date for Register of Wills. 1t is important
that the people should know who these men are. No
citizen should deposit his ballot in the box the
second Iuesday OF this month without such lnfor-
for all posts to be filed Those who vote blndy,
vote dangerously They may innict deadly stabs
upon the best interests OF the country and its insti
tutions In all local matters, when persons are to
be chosen to administer the functions OF the several
Offices all citizens are bound to look at the charac-
leis of the aspirants. No man is entitled to public
support who has cted IN such manner as to out
rage public decorum or violate either the letter or
spirit OF the laws II person has been entrusted
with representative dates and used the power con-
hded to him for selfish and corrupt purposes, he
agents needed and they be obtained if voters
will examine the character OF the nominees as well
as their tickets before they vote"
Thus far we quote from the Age of this
morning, with our cordial endorsement; but
we regret that we cannot coincide with the
opinions expires sed by our contemporary with
regard to the character of the Democratic
candidate for Register of Wills and his fitness
for that important and responsible Office.
Anthony A. Laws is the representative of
the rufianly element of the Democracy, and
he was nominated for the purpose of conci-
iating that element by bestowing upon one
of its number one of the richest offices
to be filed at the coming elec.
tion. At the last election Anthony A.
Laws figured as repeater and shoulder
hitter in the First and Second wards, and he
he is well known as a leader of the gang of
reughs that infest the lower section of the
ity. For any party to put up such charac-
ter for an Office like that of Register of Wills,
that especially requires intelligence and in
tegrity is an outrage that the Independent
voters of the city ought to rebuke without
hesitation and without regard to party predi-
lections. That we do not speak at random in
this matter, we call attention to the following
bit of evidence given in the Diamond Watt
contest
"R c. Tittermary sworn-I live In the Fifth diy-
eion second ward have lived there all my life; was

THE FREE TRADE LEAGUE has published
record of the action of the members of Con-
gress on the tariff question, in which the
Representatives of Pennsylvania are classified
as follows:-Nineteen protectionists, includ-
ing all the Republican members and one De-
mocrat, Randall; four moderate protectionists,
all of whom are Democrats; and one free
trader, Haldeman, the Democratic member
from the York and Cumberland district. AS
the whole subject of the tariff will come up
for consideration during the next Congress-
it is vitally important that the friends of do
mestic industry should be represented in that
body by firm and unyielding advocates of pro-
lection, and the workingmen of the State
should be careful how they trust their most
vital interests to candidates who are classified
by their enemies as "moderates."
