pnRIrY or ELECTIONS.

Just now, the Cincinnati Enquirer re-
marks, the Radical leaders in Congress
are terribly exercised how to preserve
the purity of elections and guard
against the abuse of the elective fran
chise." The scheme which finds most
favor with them has been introduced by
Mr.. Edmunds, of Vermont into the
United States Senate. 1t prescribes with
minuteness. a system Of registration OF
all qualified electors Of the United States
to take place in 1871 and annually there
after. by means Of Boards of Registra-
ton to be appointed by United States
Marshals, and also for the appointment
of Inspectors of Election by the United
States District Judges That is one way
TO make elections pure-to take the con-
troi Of them from the hands Of officers
elected by the people, and vest their
appointment in United States Marshals
and Judges, who are to say, through
their subordinates, who shall register
and who shall vote, and who shall not
AS the United Statos Marshals anC
Judges are all Of one party, it would, o
course, promote purity in the reception
and counting of the votes to give tina
side the exclusive handling Of the ballot
boxes and the ballots Every homes

is designed to keep the Administering

Yesterday afternoon the Hunter
Point ferry boat Suffolk County was run
into opposite Market Slip by the steamer
Galatea, striking her on the forward
cabin, and completely carrying it away.
For time the greatest excitement pre-

the ferry boat would sink. 1t was soon
ascertained that her hull was not dam
aged, and she proceeded on her way.
A large number of passengers were on
the boat. Fortunately, no one was Sc

an ankle crushed. Others were slightly

A coon MOVEMENT.

No one will suggest that we are p@'
tial TO Mr.. Prosser, Radical member OF
Congress from the Nashville District,
We do not politically, herd in his flock,
nor flock in his herd. We differ widely,
broadly. We can only come together
bv miracle, and then Prosser must
come to us. But Prosser has approached
us by proposition he has introduced
into Congress providing for the creation
of an officer to be known as River In
spector. We agree with him on that
subject. We see it as he sees 1t, and
beg to say to him that if he can succeed
in devising, maturing and passing some
measure that will protect life ON rivers
and railroads, he will have accomplished
more good to the country than all the
Senatorial spouters and Representative
cheats and political charlatans nave for
wears We do not know the provisions
of the bill he proposes, but suppose 1t
confers on the Inspector extensive powers
over navigation. In our opinion, he
scarcely can have too much. If he shall
he lust and honest man, he should
possess discretion in the discharge OF
his duties corresponding to that of a
despot. On a man-ofwar, the COM
mapder has, and exercises, despotic pow

the safety of the vessel and of life.
What is the difference between being
thrown out into the middle Of the ocean,
and thrown out into the middle Of the
Mississippi river when the night is dark
and the heavens are charged with storm :
In the latter case some may get to shore,
and in the former some have been picked
up and saved No vessel, bound on an
ocean voyage, ever leaves port without
being subjected to thorough examina-
lion as to her sea-worthiness. Why
sbould not a steamer bound from st,
Louis to New Orleans, or from New Or
leans to Cincinnati, be subjected TO
a similar examination We can
not suggest a good reason. But
it may be said, an examination
of the boat will not guard against
fire or an explosion. We think it would
20 far to prevent disaster. Ithas become
absolutely indispensable'to the protection
of life on our rivers that engineers should
be men of the very best habits and OF
consummate skill in their profession
and the law should permit no one to act
in that capacity who cannot answer to
both these requirements. 1t is time to
put stop to slaughters on the river
And we do trust that there is really some
thing meant in this proposition of Pros
ser We do not care how stringent the
law may be, nor how great despot the
Inspector may prove. if he shall rescue
the people from destruction when busl-
ness or pleasure takes them on board a
steamboat. But it is hardly probable
that such measure will challenge the
attention of the demagogues who shape
the legislation of Congress.

WEST POINT.

A friend of one of the cadets at West
Point has sent us the following, which
we publish with pleasure. Referring to
the late affair at that place, he says;
1t was no controversy between classes;
The three cadets who were expelled had
been guilty of dishonorable otfenses.
Such oifenses had previously been con-
demned-not by the authorities in charge
of the military academy, but by the re-
viewing authorities in Washington. The
consequence was decidedly injurious 10
the tone of honor in the corps. The hrst
class, or portion of it, visited the rooms
ofthe delinquents, gave them money and
citizens clothes, and then told them to
20 home. No violence was used, and,
although the proceedings are to be repre-
hended, the motive which prompted them
shows a disposition on the part of the
corps to purge themselves from the stain
which was likely to rest upon them.
Cadets are never taught that the military
is superior to the civil power, but, on the
contrary, strictly subordinate to 1t.
