A NEw FEATURB. Custom
House manner of carrying an election
in Louisiana is rather an improvement
on the style in vogue in Philadelphia
and less expensive. We call the at
tention Of the "Cameron Ring" to this
fact. In Philadelphia the means used
are "rounders," ""repcaters," persona
tions" and colonization" involving
great expenditure Of money. But in
Louisiana all this is avoided, and the
cash saved There they count all the
registered votes not polled, after the
election is over, and add them to the
administration column. After the
recent election, the Custom House
party counted $4,000 votes, which
they alleged would have voted their
ticket had they been polled. This
gave Grant the elect oral vote, elected
the Radical Governor, State officials
and Legislature. Backed by the .. s.
soldiers under the control OF the Fed
eral court and the U. S. Marshal they
have revolutionized the government
of Louisiana. If the Republicans will
allow the Democrats and Liberals TO
count the unpolled votes at the recent
Presidential election Grant would be
beaten out of sight.-Indiana Demo

WAS ANYBODY BRiBED.-In refer
enco to the developments being made
in the Credit Mobiiier case, the 1rib-
une seems to assume as fact that Mr..
Oakcs Ames has admitted the author
ship of certain letters which have
been widely construed as plainly avow-
ing plan for bribing congressman
by "placing" Pacific Railroad stock
among them "where it would do good"
and significantly suggests that the
Credit-Mobilier Investigation Com
mittee has then two things TO deter
mine. Was that the true intent and
meaning Of those letters, as interpret
ed by the affidavit OF Col. McComb,
and the very suggestive letter Of Sena-
tor BayardY Did Mr.. Amos bribe
the men whose names Col McComb
swears to his having furnished? ? If
the first be true, Mr.. Ames is certainly
no fit member of Congress. If tho
second be true a number of its promi-
nent members deserve the same fate
with Ames. Col. McComb, we see,
denies that he has the remotest inten.
tion Of flinching from the examination;
and the Committee has summoned
him.

MINISTER CURTIN's SUCCESSOR
Hon. James l.. Orr, who has Just

States Minister to Russia, is native
of South Carolina. born May 18th
1922, at Craytonvile. He was edu-
Gated at tho University of Virginia,

House in the Thirty fifth Congress-
lie was a member of the South Caro-
lima Secession Convention, which met
in December, 1860, and in that body
voted for the immediate and separate
secession of the State. He was also
one of the three Commissioners sent
TO Washington TO negotiate for the
Surrender of the forts in Charleston
harbor to the State of South Carolina.
From 1862 to 1865 he was n member
of the Confederate Senate, but after
the Rebellion he became reconciled to
the change 10 the position of the State,
and in 1865 he was elected Governor

'9776 for Orr against 9l09 for Wade
Hampton, Democrat. He held Office

No AMNESTY YET.--General Am
nesty had vote in the House Of Rep
resentatives on Tuesday, and received
102 Yeas 10 S4 Nays That there
should be S4 men in the House who
favor the policy which politically dis
ables handful of cx-Rebcls may seem
amazing and even discouraging. But,
then, the affirmative side of tho ques-
ton received an unprecedcntedly large
support. IL takes a twotbird vote to
give us General Amnesty, so the bill
did not pass; but, taken with the vote
on the bill TO remove Mr.. Lamar's
liabilities, the tone of the proceedings
shows that the day is not so very far
off when wise and jus. measure
will sweep away those last relies Of
an old revenge.

Senator Ferry has introduced a bill

army register aud colors of tho United

much hate in The Senate to pass either.

Sacriligious Toadying.

II was regarded as at least one step
in advance Of propricty, when Presi.
dent Grant, in his Thanksgiving proc
lamation, urged tho people to return
thanks for the blessings OF such an I'D
ministration as his; but Gov MoCook,
of Colorado, has outdone his political
vhiefb officially inviting his constitu-
cnts to be thankful because "the na-
tion had Just vouchsafed four years
more of Republican rule" This was
not only asking the people of Colorado
to return thanks for Grant, but also
for Casey and Cramer and Cameron
and McCook-which is really little
more than ought reasonably to be ex-
pected, even of people who have such
a remarkable man for their Governor.
But, if tho Colorado Governor is ex-
travagant in his thanksgiving ideas,
he is himself eclipscd by the Rev. DR..
Newman, Chaplain Of the United States
Senate, who is Jealous partisan, as
well as strong personal friend of
President Grant. Some OF his efforts
TO advance the interests of the party
to which he has attached himself have
been of a character not exactly cal
culated to reflect credit upon his cloth.
Some excuse may be found for his po-
litical efforts TO advance Gen. Grants
interests, but no excuse whatever can
be made for such servility and adula-
.ion as was exhibited by the Rev.
Doctor in the course Of his prayer at
the opening of the present session of
the Senate. We quote the words from
the official report in the Washington
Globe:
"May the blessing of the Highest rest upon our
Chief Ruler. May wisdom divine, the gentlcness
of Christ, frmness Of purpose and impar,iality
characterize the administration Of the future az ef
shs past, that he may enjoy the approval Of man
kind, and the appreciation of Cod"
The sooner this kind Of prayer is
stopped the better,

READING.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Officers of justice will be imposed
upon sometimes in spite of their posi-
tions, but it must be a mean thief that
will steal the pants of a justice of the
peace. Perhaps, though, this justice
was somewhat to blame for his pants
being stolen, by not showing due eau
ton in hanging them inside of the
house instead of outside. 1t is too late
now to dwell on caution that should
have been taken before, for the pants
were stolen on the night of the I'd. of
December. 1t happened in about this
way: The pants having been washed
on the day previous, Mrs. Justice hung
them out doors to dampen for ironing,
but they dampened little too long.
Some malicious fellow or fellows see
ing the chance to make q pair of En-
glish cloth pants cheap ''as they
thought" took possession of them, and
suddenly disappeared. The justice
mourned his loss day or two, when a
neighbor offered, gratis, his suspicious
that one of two young men working
about two miles northwest of Reading,
could tell something about them. Inn
mediately, on hearing this genEl0man's
suspicious, the justice (being a little
squirmish about going himself places
in the hands of Master Willie Petten-
ger, aged about IA years, a commission
81 500 as detective TO go and search
| the house and premises of the gentle
man where the aforesaid young men
were boarding, for the pants On re-
viewing his order, Detective Pettenger
| goes straightway to their boarding
place and searches the house, and final
~ finds the stolen goods between two
beds. On the arrival of Detective p.
(who, by the way is sharp boy and
equal to the emergency in Reading,
the Justice proceeds forthwith to Issue
a warrant for the arrest of the GRIMM
ais. The Constable being armed with
this authoritative document and u pistol
that shoots when necessary if handled
by brave man, proceeds at once &c
pat in "durance yiler said braeches
thieves, and brought them before said

1000 families every week, with their

for advertising are so cheap. We are
