EN2'ee Cheers for the
EBgspNcHPss

From the Ironton CO., Register.)
AT a certain place on a Meth
'odist circuit, III this county, an
enterprising preacher stopped
for a week last winter, to stir up
some religions interests. Other
veteran preachers had been there
before him, bat their efforts had
been unavailing in the direction
Of a revival. The point was con
sidered as lost to religious in
s%truction or conversation. But
the new preacher pitched in with
much zeal. He held meetings
every night for q week, preach
ed long and strong: got his mour-
ners benches ready, and called
upon seekers of religion, but
none appeared. Night after night
he appealed to them TO seek SAL
walton, but though the congre-
cations were large, none appear
ed at the mourners' benchee.-
The meetings wer> kept up for a
week, and finally the preacher
got discouraged. But he said he
would try it one more night
That night came, and with it a
big congregation. The preach
er. was eloquent, and wound up
with au exhortation, inviting
persons forward to the seekers
benches. Not n rose. The
preacher waited and pleaded, but
no one moved. Finally he saiG
he would have to abandon his
effort; that he had tried hard to
produce conviction, but no one
was moved. lie had now made
his last appeal, and after a few
mild, kind word, he sat down.
At this juncture a tall son of the
soil arose and said that the preach
er had been working hard, and
labored faithfully with them,and
as a token Of their apprecia-
ton of and respect for him, he
moved that the congregation give
the preacher three cheers, which
was carried.

In regard to the stupendous
election frauds in Philadelphia,
Forney's Press says: "When 80
large a majority was declared 70.
the Republican State ticket on
the 9Th, of October, we stated
that we did not regard the result
as fraudulent. Our judgment
rested on the belief that Gen.
Grants prestige and the democrat
ization of the Democracy in con
sequence of the surrender at Bal
tt more, had done the work; but
every hours subsequent exper-
fence has proved a system of
frauds unparalleled in the records
of elections in this country. The
last evidence is that revealed in
the Court of Common Pleas OH
Saturday last, reported at length
IN aurlocal department.
The affidavit rcadAefore Judge

terations. ~erasures, and changes
OF figures are apparent III the re-
turns; that some of the envelopes
containing the hourly lists Of the
divisions are missing; that many
of the returns cannot be found,
and that numerous of them are
not signed by the proper officers
required by law to certify to their
correctness. The exposures of
frauds perpetrated are confined
to only 35 divisions Of II wards.-
The plan was systematic, and is
safe to assert that there were nu-
merous cases, as yet undiscover-
ed, of alteration of the vote IN the
other 324 divisions. The divisions
in which the frauds were perpe~
trated include one-tenth Of the
vote Of the city. If they were
equalin extent in only one-half
OF the others land fraud in the
great majority of them is not on
~ possible but probably. the vote
of Philadelphia was falsifed at
least 5000 on the evening of the
9Th Of October by the officers
alone. This is exclusive Of the
personating, and bal
lot-box stufing by the tools OF
the Ring on the same day. We
now verify believe that if an ex-
animation of the entire returns
and a contest in which the frauds
committed, but not apparent up
On them, could be exposed, would
put the stamp Of guilt upon at
east 500 men IN Philadelphia,
md show that Charles r.. Bucka-
ew carried Philadelphia by a
and ample majority.

684 votes; Grant, 1878; O'Coner,

This leaves 81 counties to hear

these practices that they cease to

The most unfortunate feature
about the result of last election
is that it has developed the fact
that there exists in the North a
settled hatred and deep-seated
hostility toward the people Of
the Southern section of the I'm

between North and South seems
indefinitely postponed. The time
when the people of the two parts
Of the Republic are to he united

to be pushed a quarter of a CEN
tury farther off. Those are peri
lous time when the success of a
political party is measured by its
