PROTECTING THE BALLoT-The bill to
enforce the Fifteenth Amendment, which
has passed both Houses of Congress, is
sweeping in its character. 1t imposes heavy
penalties not only on fraudulent voters, but
on all aiders and abettors in frauds at elec-
tlons-on the judges and inspectors who
knowingly refuse to receive honest votes or
knowingly receive dishonest ones: or any
person who attempts by bribery, intimida-
ton or threats to prevent any one from vo-
ting, or from doing any of the acts necessary
to qualify him to vote, and on any person
who shall oppress or injure another on ac.
count of his vote. 1t gives United States
Marshals the power to arrest persons for
such Offences, and United States courts the
power to try them, and it gives the Presi-
dent authority to enforce the execution of
judicial processes under the act by the en-
ployment of the naval and military forces.
1t provides that any person, candidate,
VINO has been deprived of his election by
reason of the denial to any citizens of the
right to vote, may bring suit to recover his
Office in Federal or State Courts, ashe may
choose. 1t provides also penalties against
persons who accept offices, knowing them
selves to be ineligible, and abolishe. spe-
cial State tax on Chinese immigrants.

HOME NEWSPAPERS. Rs.-We have on more
than one occasion given our reasons why it
is not only the paramount duty of every
community to give a willing and substantial
support to its local newspapers, but also
why it is the best policy. The Ncso York
Tribune gives the following sensible and
comprehensive views on this subject
Nothing is more common than to hear
people talk of what they pay newspapers
for advertising, &c, as so much gtven IN
charity. Newspapers by enhancing the
value OF property in their neigbborhood, and
giving the localities in which they are pub
lished reputation abroad benefit all such,
particularly if they are merchants or real
estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of
the meagresum they pay for their support
Besides every public spirited citizen has a
laudable pride in having paper of which
he is not ashamed, even though he should
pick it up in New York or Washington
4 good looking, thriving sheet helps pro-
perty, gives character to the locality, and
in many respects i desirable public conyen-
fence. If from any cause the matter In the
| local or editorial columns should not be up to
your standard, do not cast it aside and pro-
nouce it good for nothing, until satisfied that
| there has been no more labor bestowed upon
! it than is paid for If you want a good
readable sheet it must be sup2orted-and it
must not be supported In a spirit of charity
either, but because you feel necessity to
| support it. The local press is the power
! that moves the people.

Democracy in the Southern States is dis
covered to be as unregenerate as ever A
late experience at Richmond may be accep-
ted as pregnant with instruction for their
Northern friends who insist upon an imme-
date and sweeping amnesty for past pollti-
cal crimes The municipal election in that
city resulted in clear majority for the Re
publican ticket The Commissioners, with
whom lay the duty of summing up the re-
turns, happen to be all Democrats. Beaten
at the polls, what was more natural or easy
for Democratic officers than to ignore the
popular choice, proceeding cooly to elect
their own favorites by the familiar method
of doctoring the ballots. But even Dem
ocrat won't stand too much OF that sort Of
thing in Virginia, and the Wing, an able
journal of the opposition, protests against
these Illegal proceedings, denouncing them
as without shadow of authority. The mi
nority ticket thus electioneered into place i:
declared mot to be worth the paper it j,
written on, and should be universally repu
dated" We commend the honest candol
of this Virginia Democrat, as an example
for the Democracy of our Somerset, OF
Westmoreland, or Philadelphia districts. -

The New York Herald characterizss the
late election in the State of New York, Sc
far as affording test of the strength OF
parties as "a Democratic victory which
signifies nothing" From official returns
from most of the counties, and generally ac-
cepted estimates from the rest, it appears
that the whole vote cast will not exceed
430, 900, against S29,776 cas- t in 1868, show.
ing deficiency of 4I9, ,776, or about one hall
of the vote of the State, which loss the stay
at-home Republicans count two hundred
and fifty thousand and the Democrats one
hundred and eighty thousand.

A Democratic contemporary takes the
House of Representatives severely to task
for its action in excluding from the veterans
to be pensioned By a proposed bill those
who we're disloyal to the country during
the late rebellion. Says this organ of the
party which is always full of excuses for the
late rebels ''The soldiers of the war with
Great Britain we're old men when the re-
bellion broke out They were unfit for SER
vice in field or camp, and at most they could
harm their old flag, under which they
fought and bled, only by mumbling disloyal
phrases Age has commonly been regard ed
as the period of wisdom. We certainly
never before knew it to be pleaded in ex-
tenuation of crime. If these veterans were
TOO old to fight either for or against the
nation, and could only humble. they ought
20 have remained true to their patriotic
recoid, aud at least mumbled in favor of
tbcir country.

b. f. Whittemore, member of Congress
from the First District of South Carolina,
who was compelled to resign his seat to
avoid expulsion for selling cadetships, has
been reelected. 1t is to be regretted that
his constituency did not select more homo
rable gentlemen to fill his place. Though
the Republican party cannot be held respon-
sihle, since Republican majority once
promptly condemned him, yet it is discred-
liable to the country that such man should
be reelected.

Likely to remain for some time The Cover
ment, to the surprise ofmany, doe. not look
upon tie raid as joke or no liday excursion

Though this may be greatly to the discom

thus have fewer Head Centers and Treasur-
ers to deceive them in the future.

While we sympathize with the starving
Fenians huddled along the Canadian bor-
ders, in prison and out, we cannot see any
good reason for the interference of our Gov
ernment in their behalf Not only have
their misfortunes resulted from making wal
on people with whom We are at peace,
but they have violated the law of the land
of their adoption to which they now appeal
for assistance and protection. Really, the
Fenian idea of justice and right is, to say
the least, little mixed.

The rebel element in Louisiana is terribly
excited over the proposition of Mr. Conway,
Superintendent of Education, to put the
new school bill into operation. 1t provides
for the establishment of public schools il
every parish throughout the State. The
rebel newspapers are prating loudly about
having their ''old system ofeducation sup
planted by carpet bag" legislation, but
VIXEN it is stated that prior to the war there
wa. not single free school in the State the
''old system" will not be deeply mourned by
the friends of progress.

The accumulated evidence from all parts
Il ri

The accumulated evidence from all parts
of Mexico reveals the condition of that coun-
try as in every sense deplorable. Financially
bankrupt, socially demoralized, and political
ly disrupted, there is protection neither for
property nor persons. Trial by jury is sus-
pended and special taxes are levied by mere
Governors of States. Brigandage is IA
yorite occupation of dissatisfied citizens and
defeated politicians. Congress is without
authority and the President without power.
We had hoped braver and wiser things from
this people after the expulsion of the French
and we reluctantly confess to grave disap-
pointment at witnessing this result of repub-
lican rule in that unfortunate county.
