PROTECTION FOR THE BALLOT.

The act for the protection of the ballot
is endorsed by all those who desire a fair
test at the polls, and condemned by those
only who do not. The Methodist, a lead
ingreligious paper in New York city says
Our profoundest thinkers have found in the
present defects of our elections sufficient
grounds Of serious alarm. Fraud and cor
ruption at the ballot-box have obtained to a
fearful extent, and are having a most de-
moralizing effect. The evil is of so much
importance that, unless checked in some
manner, it will occasion the wreck of our
republican institutions. The problem is,
how to purify the ballot.
We do not think that the solution has been
found in the act just passed by Congress, but
we do believe that its practical operations
will tend in that direction. 1t throws a safe
guard around the ballot-box that it has never
before had OF course, much will depend
upon the vigorous execution of the law, but
every honest American citizen will rejoice
that a step has been taken which indicates
that the ballot is to be restored to the nation
in all its original purity apd integrity. 1t is
to be hoped that the humiliating spectacle
which we have just witnessed in the recent
judicial election in this State may never occur
again. Especially in this city, where fraudu-
lent votes were counted by Thousands, and
where, in several wards, the vote polled was
several hundreds larger than the number of
legalized voters of the ward, may we see how
the noblest right Of an American citizen can
be prevented. 20 ra@

sent a message of coincidence to the family
of Charles Dickens, and the public institu-
tons suspended business for the day as a
mark of respect. The literary and dra-

family to permit them to arrange a grand
funeral, and have applied to Dean Stanley
for permission to place the remains in
Westminster Abbey. Minister Motley, in
behalf of the American people, has ex-
pressed their grief to the family. The
Mystery of Edwin brood" was sufficient
ly completed to insure its prompt publica-
ton. Mr.. Dickens intended to take long
rest as soon as Edwin brood" was fin
ished, including trip to California.
Among the prominent men who in person
or by letter expressed coincidence to the
family were Tennyson, Gladstone, Car

srRADER vs. rHuRmAN.


The Democratic papers are full of en-
comiuns on Senator Thurman's really
able and timely speech against the Pa
cific land-grab schemes. But they are
not so enthusiastic over the little speech
of Hon. Peter w. Strader on the same
subject. The Oregon Railroad bill,
which makes a grant of about two mil
lion Of acres of public lands to the cor
poration, being put on its passage, Mr..
Strader said
AYE.

which have so extensively copied Senator
Thurman's remarks on the land-grab-
bing business do Mr.. Suader the justice
to make room for his speech also We
make the suggestion, not from any sym
pathy with Mr.. Strader, whose course is
nearly universally condemned by his
constituents, as it has been emphatically
in these columns, but merely in the in
terest of fair play. By all means let
Mr.. Strader be heard. -CfHcizltati Ck101i-

WHAT THEY CALL AN 4" ELEC-
TLON."

This is the way the Democracy car
ried New York at the recent election in
that State Police Justice Hogan, one of
the young Democrats - it is said saw a
fellow voting on his name. He remon-
strated, and demanded the repeater's ar
rest, but was laughed at, and lost his
vote. Between. eleven and twelve hun
dred negroes registered as voters at
least FIVE hundred of them discovered
when they got to the polls, that repeaters
had already voted on their names and
some of the luckless blacks were grave
ly arrested as repeaters for attempting to
vote on their own names.
There was a regular and well-estab-
hshed scale of prices for repeating, vary
ing with the urgency of the case, from
fifteen dollars to fifty cents for a fraudu-
lent vote and one leader Of a gang oi
rufians paid off his men openly, in sight
of the orderly citizens gathered around
a polling booth. So universal and un-
concealed was the fraudulent voting thai
a negro, arrested for this offence, naive
ly pleaded that under the Fifteenth
Amendment he had right to do all that
white men did, and certainly he saw
white men freely and openly repeat
ing. N y Post.

THE NEW CRIME.

Mark Twain" writes about the new
crime, Insanity" as follows Insanity
certainly is on the increase in the world,
and crime is dying out. There are no
longer any murders-none worth mem
tioning, at any rate. Formerly, if you
killed a man, it was possible that you
were insane-but now if you kill man
it is evidence that you are a lunatic. In
these days, too, if a person Of good fam
lily and high social standing steals any
thing, they call it llleptomania, and send
him to the lunatic asylum. If a person
of high standing squanders his fortune
in dissipation and closes his career with
strychnine or a bullet, temporary aber-
ration" is what was the trouble with him.
And finally, as before noted, the list is
capped with new and curious madness
in the shape of wholesale adultery.

Mr.. Trumbull has done a good and
practical action in behalf Of women in
introducing his amendment to the ap-
preparation bill, making the salaries of
female clerks holding clerkships in the
departments the same as those of males
performing like work. The greatest
wrong done to woman in our present
social system-the one that has borne
her down most crdshingly-is the fact
that for the same work she has received
only one-third the wages Of man. The

THE NEW york ELECTION.

The .Sls1z says the election in this city
was a farce and moczery. It is safe to
assert that out of every fifteen votes cast
fourteen were fraudulent. Almost every
poll was entirely under the control Of
corrupt inspectors and organized bands
of repeaters paid by the Tammany ring
at the rate from S5 to SIS per man. The
police seemingly acting under secret in
st1uctions from their superlOrs, aided
and abetted the conspiratOrs, and eX-
hibited no inclination to check the fraudu-
lent voting, and the system of repeating
and ballot-box stuf6ng was carried on on
a scale more extensive than ever. In one
of the wards about eleven hundred ne
groes were registered, but when the
newly enfranchised came to the ballot
boxes white repeaters had already voted
upon nearly FIVE hundred of their names.
Full scope was afforded for repeating by
condition of the registry. Everybody who
had changed his residence since last cleo
ton entered his name aHezO, but as a
general rule none of the old entries were
erased then, of course, a large number
of really new names were now register
ed, including a considerable body Oi
colored men. This swelled the registry
to I84,4I7 names, and of course afford
sd ample opportunity for the gang Of re-
peaters that shamelessly Perambulated
the city from morning till night.
