instant almost afterwards they were tailed out

ira fifth, Catesby sixth. At the quarter pole they
were in the positions given above, about two

mile pole Reviler still showed the way, Katy Pease
second, SILK Stocking third, Electra fourth, Gates
by nth, Strachino sixth. At the three-quarter
pole Catesby was fourth, but as he came into the

there for some time. When he got out he was too
close to home to shut up the gap and get to the
front; but he nevertheless made a gallant run
home, securing q place. a, de was the

No MORE conclusive evidence could be
wanted of the utter Generalization of the
radical press, than is afforded by the de q.
light and qualification it has expressed
over the fraudulent election of Henry w.
Gray in the Fourth Senatorial district.
1t indicates the reverse of high tone of
political morality, and is a public endorse
ment of the odious doctrine, that in a
political contest the end to be attained
justifies the means employed, however il
legal and disgraceful they may have been.
The outrageous scenes of personal violence
and rowdyism that were enacted at the
election of the delegates to TIC nominating
convention, as well as those who charac~
terized the convention itself, were boldly
Denounced and held up to public execra-
tion by all the republican papers in PhiIa-
delphia, with two exceptions. The frauds
on the ballot-box on the day of the eIec
tion-the shameless operations of repeat
ers, FOUNDERS and rutlians, urged on ard
sanctioned by radical police ofiicers-tho
lawless conduct of the city officials, three
fourths of whom deserted their posts of
duty and made their headquarters in the
district for the purpuse of engaging in
their uefarious game of fraud and villainy
all of this has been exposed and siernly y
rebukcd by the radical press Of the city,
but has met with no response from the
country journals OF that party. On the
contrary, they have gloried in the shame
and have all treated Gray's election rs a
victory of which they might we'll feel
proud They have no word OF censure -
no language Of disapproVal-for fraudu-
lent voting, or any of the infamous prac.
lices resorted to by the various corrupt
rings to cheat and defraud the honest ex-
preston of the people, aud to count in the
candidate who will prostitute his official
position in the Senate by sanclioning their
corrupt and plunderiHg schemes. That
they would have smashed the ballot
boxes and clubbed decent people away
from the polls in order to prevent the elec-
tion of a democrat, would have been con
sistent with their peculiar mode of con-
ducting elections in that city, but that they

Chronic diseases may be justly esteemed the

or until the constitution is a wreck, or they will
gradually get better of themselves, and a

Henry w. GRAY took hi. seat in the
Senate on the second day after the special
election That night the republican mem
bers held caucus and the Philadelphia
papers Of the next morning contained the
statement that Elisha w. Davis and
Harry White, pau Mobile .fratrupa, made an
unsuccessful effort in the caucus to COM
mi. the republican Senators against receiv-
ing Col M'Clure's petition, when it should
be presented to the Senate, contesting
Gray's election. Davis has denied pubs
hcly in the Senate that he did 80, but
White has not seen proper TO do likewise
The presumption, therefore, is that the
charge was true, especially so as it would
he in perfect keeping with many of his
former scurvy tricks as a Senator. The
Philadelphia Day, a radical paper, in re
terring to this choking off movement in
the caucus, disposes of Harry White as
follows:
"But enough is known to show that Gen
White is a sadly inconsistent Statesman, and
his inconsistency is so very glarng that it
might properly be termed downright dis
honesty. At least, it shows that General
White cannot be relied upon as an adhcrent
20 principle. and that he is not fit man to
be ,vernor of this or any other common
wealth. He is only a small, huckstering
politician, and narrow partisan, who deems
party trickery and trumpery superior to
truth. honor aud public duty. We enter
tain very grave doubts about Gen. Whites
success in the gubernatora line. The peo>
pie are becoming tired Of eevating low pol
iticianS TO high places. The small-fry states
men will have to stand aside soon aud give
place to men of brains and princple, aud
such men as White will be ordered to the

make repairs, it having been closed since

gas was opened, and the gas took fire from

had his head severed completely from his
