er to appoint deputies to preserve the
peace at elections. During the recent
elections held i'll Philadelphia the dep
uties appointed by the Marshal inter
fered with the voters and We're arrest
ed by the Mayors police. There was
no violent breach of the peace; the
Mayor, Mr.. Fox, was on the ground,
and the police We're fully competent to
preserve the peace, the troubles only
existing at one precinct, and between
the white and black voters but the
object of the bill was to accomplish a
purpose, and the arrest of some of the
Marshals deputies was the desired pre-
text, and Marshal Gregory, formerly
one of the Freedmen's Bureau officials,
called out detachment of United
States Marines, under the command of
Lieutenant Colonel James FoIney, son
of the delectable John w. Forney, and
they took possession of the polls.-
This grave outrage was complained of
to the Governor, J. w. Geary, of the
same tribe and kind, and there the
matter rests. There was not the
slightest cause for this fragrant viola
ton of law and military usurpation,
but it was done to prepare the people
for the grand effort to carry New York
by bayonets in the coming electious.-
This effort at feeling the public pulse,
if not resented by an appeal to the
courts and rebuked, will be enacted
vigorously in every Democratic cleo
ton poll in New York City, and thus,
if possible, carry cut the designs of
those who framed the bill of July
14th, 1870.
/ 1t is generally conceded that Chris
topher Columbus Delano, Commission
er of Internal Revenue, who, it seems
from tracing of Grants genealogy, is
a relation of the White House folks, is
to step into Secretary Cox's shoes. If
such is to be the case, and the quid
names say so, it is only another evil
dence of Grants total imbccility or de-
basement, or both. By the time that
Simon Cameron and lack Chandler
have done running General Grant he
will find himself worse off than a mar
liner at sea in a yawl without sail, rud-
der or compass. Poor Grant! stupid
selfish and ignorant as he is, he would
have been much better off at the end
of his term had he trusted entirely to
chance and his lucky star than to have
put himself in train for the Presiden-
tial race under the charge of such po-
litical jockeys as Zack and Simon.-
The President has only arrived here
from his excursh to Frederick, Md,
when he is greeted with another junk
citing and trip to Georgia, and it is ex-
pected that his spreeship will leave
here on Tuesday morning next. What
a remarkable taste Ulysses has for gal
wanting, feeding and guzzling, and his
friends lose no opportunity for indulg.
ing him.
i A most remarkable phase of the cleo.
ton in Pennsylvania was the defeat OF
four ultra protectionists in the Yves
tern and middle portion of the State
including the Hon. D. ]. Morrell, in :
Radical District. Mr.. Morrell has
thousands of employees and is wortl
millions of dollars and yet could not bt
reelected. When in the iron and Goa
districts of Pennsylvania, heretofor.
Radical, such a change comes over TIN
f spirit of the citizens, what must be ex
pected from the agricultural district
, Of the West? The day has broke ant
2 the sun of Democracy is beginning t.
f shine brightly. TREBLA.
