MY COTTAGE WINDOW

doMELY and humble, these my cottagerooms,
! =, NO nne upholstering gilded walls;
NO woven threads from Persia's fabled looms,
NO fatr-arched entrance into stately halls.
No marble Clytie with its frozen veins
- All bloodless, wandering over snowy breast,
But one sweet Cupid toRched with richer stains
OF rosy life on lip and cheek; and crest
OF shining curls, whose spirals catch the glow
.Of every sunbeam; this my kingly boy,
And my one window, wisely made for show,
OF greenest foliage-these insure me joy.
My cottage-window, framed with sturdiest vine,
Whose gladness laughs in every lusty leaf,
Whore fuchsias hang their bells, and panses shine
Like violet eyee, touched with some childish
grief
Here blooms the rose, and there the spicy pink,
Here lifts the calla, grand and pure aud fair,
And here sit to read or work or think,
OR twine bright flowers in baby's golden hair.
Call me not poor, for wondrous wealth is mine,
The wealth Of boundless love and sweet con-
One human blossom, heaven sball make divine
And Gods dear flowers in loving Likeness blent.

A PARIS correspondent writes that IN
consequence of the exodus of cashiers
which has recently taken place, the bank
ers are challenging their ingenuity to de-
wise measures TO prevent these nimble
heels from carrying off money with them.
One banker has placed an iron cage IN
front of his safe, and insists that the cash
ier shall be locked in it until his cash &C
count be verified at the close OF the day.
He has as yet found only one man willing
to accept this condition. You must en-
ter the cage at nine a. m, and you viii be
liberated at four p. M, after your ac-
count has been verified" !" said the banker
TO an applicant Agreed" "You must
not leave it during the day under any
pretense. keep the key in my pocket"
" All right; am used 70 confinement"
"Where have you beenp In the peni-
tentiary during these last fifteen years"
Position still open. .lL

Hon. JOHN o. COLE, of Albany, N. Y,
has resigned the Office of Police Justice
of that city, after having held it for
nearly As years. He was first elected to
the position in 1926, and has held it
ever since, with the exception of the
seven years, between 1888 and 1916. What
makes this long incumbency remarkable
is the fact that the Office has always
been an elective one.

], o.;n,e. ,he 8Executiye forgetfhlness

sometimes the Executive forgetfnlness
IS ;mparted, like the itch, by contagion;
and the Boards Of Registration forget to
discharge the duties that are expressly
enjoined upon them by law For these
things the registration law itself affords
no remedy. 1t is full of penalties
against the voter who has failed to
prove his right to vote Ito the satisiac-
ton of the registrar, but it plainly de-
clares that the members ofsuch board,
or any registrar, shall not be liable in
anv civil suit for their official action
under this chapter, or in any preceding
net or acts to which this is amenda-
tory Under the immunity thus con-
ferred, the Boards Of Registration and
the township registrars have been de-
flying the popular will 10y all sorts OF
violations of the law. But the act OF
Congress for the enforcement OF the
fifteenth amendment puts stop to
these fantastic tricks, and the registrar;
and Boards OF Registration will find
that if tho State courts do wink at then
infractions of the law, the outraged
voter has another means of redress AND
there is another power that will hold
them to strict account.

Registration I'm Pendleton County.

In Pendleton county, on the first Mon
day in August, the day when, as re-
quired by law, the Registrar is to sit at
some convenient place in his township
lin order to make a correct register of
all the qualified voters therein" no
township Registrars or books of regis
tration could anywhere be found. The
people flocked into the town of Frank
lin, hunted up the Board of Registra-
ton, demanded to know why the books
had not been opened, and were coolly
informed that the Board had not vet
appointed any township Registrars,
Notwithstanding the law expressly re-
quires these appointments to be made
by the Board ION or before the first
Monday in July in each year"
Now, the Board Of Registration in
Pendleton county is clearly endeavoring
10 obstruct the qualified voters of that
county in the exercise of their right to
vote and are liable to be held to an
swer in the United States Court there
for. We hope that our friends in Pen
dleton will make information of the
facts before an United States Commits
sioner and have the warrant issued.
In the meantime, let them omit no
effort to secure registration. If town.
ship registrars are appointed, 90 to
them and register. II no appointments
are made, go to the Board of Registra-
ton on the first Monday in October
and apply for registration, If the
Board refuses to enter the name Of any
qualified voter, let him go to the polls
on the 9th of October and demand his
right to vote; the Supervisor and In
spectors of Election will be liable TO in
dictment if they refuse to receive his
ballot.
This game has been played long
enough. The Governor sometimes for
gets to appoint Board of Registration
in a strongly Democratic county, and

Nor are We prepared to admit that
this Amendment will be defeated by
our courts upon any such ground; and
unless it were, having been ratified by
the people and proclaimed by the Gov,
ernor, who would dispute its authority,
or what power could successfully do
so ?-MtclEg0accr, A"gust OH.
The Radical party in West Virginia
would be the first to dispute its an,
thority, and the Courts of the State, as
at present constituted, would enable
them to do 30 successfully. We have
had sufficient knowledge OF the partisan
rulings of the courts in this State to
disbelieve that they will decide any
question adverse TO the demands Of the
Radical party Heretofore impcach-
ment has been the inevitable fate of the
Judge who ruled adversely to the de-
sire Of politicians, and We can easily
imagine what q howl of Indignation
would 90 forth from Radical speakers
and journals il any court sustained the
Democracy in any advantage gained by
reason OF the adoption of the FLICK
amendment in the manner proposed by
the MtcHigcnctr There is a very per-
ceptible odor Of bad faith in the whole
connection OF the Radical party with
the FLICK amendment, and our su5-
picions are not quoted by the omission
to publish in proper time, nor by the
sophistry that attempts to explain
away constitutional requirement.

West Virginia 10 prevent an expression
OF the popular will, constitute a body
OF crimes against politica, liberty that
has scarcely been surpassed in the most
despotic nation OF the old world. Leg
islation has been directed to sitting the
Tree voice Of the people and, as far as
possible, silencing by force of law all
who dared to condemn the policy and
practice Of the Radical party. Every
possible difficulty has been thrown in
the way of the people who are disposed
to rebuke the rascality and corruption
of the party in power, and every
expedient that desperation could devise
and malignity execute has been put i'll
operation against the people OF West
Virginia. Where test oaths were not
sufficient 10 keep the voter from the
polls, he has been required to undergo
the inconvenience and expense OF run
ming down the registrar and having his
name recc-sled 10y an insolent and surly
official, and where this failed TO prevent
the citizen from the exercise OF his
right he has been compelled 10 dance
attendance day after day before the
Board OF Registration, only TO find that
his name has been arbitrarily stricken
from the list Of voters and that he has
no redress

dare not trust them to vote their =enti-

Grant and North Carolina.

The Pittsburg Commercial attributes
the recent Radical defeat in North
Carolina to carpetbag scallawags and
100 much reconstruction" and adds
THE success of the Conservatives,
while it is over the Republican nomi'
nees, is not properly the success Of the
Democratic party, though by its help.
The Conservatives include a great
many who supported Grant, and will do
it again as at present he is understood
by them"
GRANT is at present understood as
having sent soldiers and guns to aid
HOLDEN and KIRK in crushing ont the
Conservatives, and it was no desire
of his to see the election result a. it
has. This North Carolina business
should convey to General GRANT as
salutary lesson as is now being read
TO the carpet-bag scallawags, as they
are styled by the Commercial, The
silent influence Of the Federal admin
istration in State elections is one thing.
but the employment of United States
troops to overawe the people and boil
ster up a rascally demagogue like HoL-
DEN, and aid in the preparation OF out
RACES that have made even the Radical
press speak out in their denunciatlon, is
quite another And this latter is Just
what GRANT has done. Why any Of
the Conservatives in North Carolina
who supported GRANT should do it
again, as at present he is understood by
them" is a conundrum that we are in
capable of guessing.
