VT MIST NOT BE CHEATED.

From the evidence placed in the hands
of the United States authorities we think
there can be no doubt that immense frauds
in registration have been committed, as
well as more direct, i not more easily
nroven, frauds in the conduct of the poll"
ING. Ten thousand, more or less, atfida1
Wits nave been made. in compliance with
the enforcement act Of Congress, by par
ties denied enrolment as voters. These
are all made by Rep'!J'icaas, and as they
have generally attached to them proof that
the atlantis were voters in the same pre-
cincts where now rejected two years ago,
it seems conclusive that their statements
of their grievances are correct.
This point, however, must finally be de-
cided by higher authority; but that the
most earnest endeayoy to secure these
thousands of Republicans proper repre-
sentation viii be made. We are not per.
mitted to doubt.
The alleged ballot box stuhing in tins
city, Jefferson parish, st. Helena and else
where. we care not TO comment upon until
the courts have developed the whole truth,
but we shall as earnestly strive to secure
the purity of the ballot at least as did the
Democrats last January.
Louisiana is Republican State. J
! majority even of her white people, left IN.
trammeled, woull keep her so. The will
of the people in this respect has our fullest
sympathy and heartiest support.
The next Legislature will be SO made
up that benefcent measures must be
adopted. It is impossible that with hon
orable and able gentlemen (such as Gov
ernor Hahn and Postmaster Lowell, for
instance, on the Republican side) arrayed
against equally able Democrats, that aught
| calculated to result detrimental to the
public interests can be passed into laws,
or that their vigilance and energy will not
/ secure the repeal Of all bad and oppressive
laws that it is possible legally to wipe
| from the statute books There is no reason
in the world why State securities should
not at once feel the beneficial effects re-
suIting from the fact that there will be a
powerful minority to combat bad and ad-
vocate good projects, no matter which
party has the majority.

MANIA-A-PoTU IN Hen LIFE.-Mrs. Auna
M. Ebert, wife Of a wealthy cigar manufacturer
in New York, lately died the victim of strong
drink. With the exception OF her passion for
liquor she was most estimable won an, but
would act in a violent manner when giving way
TO this weakness. About two years ago she LETT
home under its influence to throw herself under
the wheels of railroad train, but was followed
by her husband, who prevented the fatal act at
the last moment. She has often threatened 20
shoot her husband and son, and frequently Ia
ken revolver to bed with her. At such ii ms
her husband would fasten himself ia his sleep-
ing-room away from her until the frantic mood
was over. About a year ago Mr. Ebert was
troubled with headache, for which his physician
recommended aconite, deadly poison. About
ten days ago an one ounce VIAL sufficient to XIII
ten persons, was missed from it, usual place
a few days after. upon returning from one OF
hls business trips, his wife furious that he

ed the mselves in a room, which She tried vainly
Tor two hours 10 force open. She then babe her
soon goodbye and went 70 her room where she
was found dead the next morning, and the
empty aconite vial standing on the piano near
her door Bruises were found upon her. which

was declared the victim Of poison taken in a

Horace Porter, ex-Secretary Borie, and Sena-
tor Cattell, had a formal reception at the Com
mercial Exchange to-day, which was attended
by large concourse OF merchants, who partici-
pated in the collation.. Secretary Boutwell, was
introduced by ex-senator Cattell and made an
interesting address on the importance and
necessity of maintaining such a system of
taxation as will materially and constantly
work out a reduction of the public debt.
He said our public credit is the occa-
better than that which bears the endorsement
of the public faith of the American people. A
number of addresses were also delivered by
President Comfy, of the Exchange, and others,
on the prospects of Philadelphia.

Society,".

This, the first week in January, and what is
considered the orthodox beginning of the gay
season in Washington, has not been very bril-
liant The effort made by every one on New
Year day to initiate Mark Tapley, and be Jolly
under all discouragements, seems to have ex-
hausted their energies, and they have not yet
reeuperated. 1t is small wonder that rest is
needed, when we are told by one lady that she
shook hands with eight hundred people. Al
though wednesday and Thursday are important
days IN fashions calendar, there was not to be
cure, as is usually the case on those DAYS, whole
squares blocked up by carriages. OF gentlemen
VISITING on those days the number was very
small Some of the ladies thought thew ought
TO wait for Mrs. Grant to begin receiving; but
this Il not customary. Mrs. Grant is visiting in
Philadelphia with her husband, but will return
in time for next Tuesday, when it is expected
she will hold a drawing-roOm. These recep-
tons are looked forward to with pleasure. as
they are always brilliant, and there are many
different ways Of enjoying them.
Yesterday the ladies Of the West End held
receptions + and streets are inaccessible to
carriages, but by means of planks and steps by

other, and temporary bridges across the bitches
you can, II you are patient and have plenty of
time at your disposal, reach your friends. In
spite OF all these difficulties Mrs. General Bah
cock and her friend, Miss COmegys of Della
ware, received numerous calls When Won
reach the Generals house you find that he has
pleasant home, and a bright little wife. who
wears his hOnOrs becomingly. Miss Conegys is
a tall hne-lOoking girl, with good conversational
powers Nothing is mere important than the
ability te have something TO say to every one
on one occasion, some two OF three wears back

eepuon day had quite a number of ladies to
receive with her, and her husband was also
present A lady entered and was announced.
the hostess spoke 10 her, saw 1t was stranger
and LETT her standing alone IN the center of the
room, full OF people! Not one of the lady assist
ants came TO the T, scue. At first the lady could
not fully comprehend the rudeness: but when
che did, with a face flushed with modification
she left the room, rescued her card from the
others which were deposited Ina the hall, and To
the end Of time will always assert that the lady
IN question has no manners.
Mrs Ross Ray was at home yesterday in
her elegant house, which has an elevation since
last winter, but will not lose any of its attrac-
tons as long as Mrs Ray presides 50 gracefully
and kindly.

GovERNMEET-A MISSING WITNESS, etc.
SALT LAKE, Jan. 5-There is great excite
ment here in regard to the new mines recently
opened in the southwest corner OF Idaho, hum
dred miles from the Central Pacific railroad. IL
is reported that ores assaying from one TO two
hundred dollars per ton have been found The
admission of Utah as q state is strongly opposed.
on the ground that il would give the Mormon
church absolute authority in the new state.
and ii is contended that if the sup
preston of polygamy should be made a
condition TO admission the law making such pro-
vision would become a dead letter. Influential
persons assert that the resources OF Utah will be
as well if not better secured under territorial
organization. Ii is said Baker, the principal
witness against the parties charged with the
murder of Robinson has been spirited away
Robbers, garroters, and desperadoes of all
descriptions abound here, and neither life nor
property are safe after nightfall. Brigham

The Wharton Trial.

TwENTI-ElGHTH DAY-ADJoURNED TO NON
DAY-AN AFFLICTED JURYMAN-wHEN THE
CASE WILL CLOSE.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 6.-Tbe court met al
10 O'Clock, when Judge Miller announced that
on account of the absence OF Mr.. Steele one OF
the counsel for the defence, and for reasons
that would hereaf be stated to the jury, the
court would adjourn TO Monday at 10 O'Clock
Adjournment then took place. After adjourn
ment the sheriff informed the jury of the death
OF the wife of stephen Beard, one of the jurors.
Mrs. Beard resided about ten miles from An
nspolis, and dropped dead suddenly last night
from heart disease while attending a sister living
dangerously i'll at her house. The mother-in-
law of Mr.. Beard has also died since the com
mence ment of the trial, and the father of Mr.
Sheckles, another juryman.
So far twenty nine witnesses have been eN-
amined for the prosecution, when the state
rested, and up TO this time fifteen have been eN-
amined for the defence. The number on the
list of the latter not yet called is fty-eigh and
to-day is the twenty-eighth of the trial. From
the indications TO. day IL is not probable that
more than very few of these will be called, and
the case will be concluded next week. IL i
rumored to- day that the defence are disposed to
submit the case to the jury without argument.
There was a very large attendance at the
opening of the court this morning, many ladies
being present, among whom were a number
from a distance, who attended the ball at the
Naval Academy last night.
