The Tsrpsicborea Club held their fifth
serial ball in Murrsy's Hall, Kane City, on
Wednesday evening last. To say it was
grand success is needless, as all who have
ever attended their balls know it could not
we'll have been otherwise. Every body and
bis sweetheart were there, and enjoyed
themselves to their fullest extent-chasiue
the fleeing hours with merry steps until
two O'Clock. when oil repaired to the Crock
er House and partook Of an oyster supper,
such as none know better how to serve than
Dan and his excellent lady. After doing
ample justice to the table the party again
returned to the Hall and continued the
slight fantastic" exercise until sometime

The Bullet and Ballot,

Gov. Creary, one Of the elect of the radi-
eel party Of the country, and for years the
head Of its great secret organization, the
Union league, holds this language in his an
nual message in regard to the use of troops
by President Grant at elections
The employment of Z nited States troops
at elections, without the consent of the To-
cal or state governments, has recently re-
ceIved considerable attention and reprehen
sion. 1t is regarded ss al interference with
the sovereign rights of the states, which was
not contemplated by the founders in the gen
eral government and if persisted in must
lead TO results disastrous to peace and hsr-
mpny. The practice Is one SO serious IN its.
character. and SO in urious in its tender cies,
as 10 merit prompt consideration and decjs-
i've action, not only by the general assembly
but by congress. One of the com plants OF
the coIonists against the British King was
the oppression growing out of the assump
ton OF this power. They said ''He has
Kept among us IN times of peace standing
armies without the consent of our legisia
ture,' and what is especially pertinent 10
the case in point, ''He has affected to rem
der the military independent Of and superior
to the civil power" The alleged authority
for the use OF troops at our state elections
is derived from en- act of congress-, provided
May 81. 1870.
Bot it must be forced construction Of
this law that will justify the presence Of
armed national forces at our places of cleo
ton when no necessity exists therefor, and
where their presence is calculated to pro-
yoke collision. With 8 good president the
exercise of the power referred to might have
no injurious results; but in the hands of q
bad man governed by personal ambition, i,
might prove exceedingly oalamitous. Tn
consciously, good president might be in
duced to EN- ploy it wrongfully. A bad one
would be almost certain to use it for his
own advancement. Under any circumstan-
ces, in my opinion, it is unsafe and antag.
onistic to the principles that should eovorn
our republican institutions.
At the last October election, United
States troops were stationed at Philadelphia
for the avowed purpose of enforcing
the election laws. This was done without
the consent. or even the knowledge. of the
civil authorities of either the city or the
state, and without any expressed desire on
the part Of the citizens and, as far as can be
ascertained without any existing necessity.
