A KnOtty Question Disposed oC.

The Free Press says the President
has nearly cut the Gordian knot that
surrounded affairs in the Covington,
Kentucky, Postofficc. The venerable
father of our noble and patriotic Pres
ident is postmaster in that pleasant
little Kentucky suburb Of Cincinnati,
but he has been unable for some time
to discharge the duties pretaining to
his position. The President has, there
fore, been in trouble. He could not
find it in his heart to rob his father of
the salary Of the official position so
long as there was life left in his body.
lie knew that his patriotic sire, like
the equally patriotic son, had an am
bition to die with his official harness
on, serving his country in the best pay
ing Office he could secure. The condi-
tion of the father was adverse to the
conviction that he could do so, and
thus draw his last salary and his last
breath together. His President son
finally solved the whole enigma. He
appointed q commissioner to take
charge of the Office at 81 600 per year
while the fathers salary goes on a,
usual. What display of devotion to
father on The part Of the son. II

with the reporter Of the Record he sta
ted that he should only 60 as far as San

VOTING By BALLOT IN ENGLAND.

On the 2and of last month the Eng
lish Ballot bill went Into effect for the
first time. The bill goes Into the NIL
nutia Of the process with great exact
ness. In the first place the nomina-
tions have to be made before an officer,
a Deputy Sheriff, and are hedged
about with a degree Of formality which
we could not abide In this country,
but which are supposed there to con-
tribute to the purity of elections. An
other great feature Is the abolition Of
the old polling booths, which were
formerly erected by candidates at great
expense. Now the returning OIL
GERS" may take any school house or
hall which receives support from pub
lie funds. All expenses are still borne
however by the candidate, but have
been materially changed. The poll
ing place is provided with the usual
paraphenalia, and a room Is set apart
capable Of holding one hundred and
fifty persons, to which the voter may
retire to mark his ballot. When q
voter enters he applies to the inspec-
tor for a ballot. The inspector exam
Ines and checks the voters name upon
the register and cuts him a ballot from
q book, like a bank check-book, where
a coupon remains behind. The ballot
itself contains the names Of all the
candidates nominated, aud Is at the
moment Of delivery stamped with An
official mark, visible OIL both sides.
At the same time the coupon or cour-
tertoil retained in the book Is Inscribed
with the voters number in the regis
ter. The voter then "retirei," aud
marks a cross against the candidate
whom he wishes elected. Concealing
the face Of the ticket from every per
son and folding 1t, so as TO leave the
official mark OH the back visible, lie
exhibits the latter TO the Inspector and
deposits it In the box. He Is forbid
den to carry u ballot oil, or to vote az
proxy for another, except for blind or
i~lliterate persons, or for Jews, when
the election occurs OH Saturday, all Of
which cases must be certified In form.
The counting Of the votes and subse-
quent procedure present no new feat
ures. Tho bill applies to both parlis-
mentary and municipal elections, and
is only in force till 1880, until further
extended.

By a telegram from Salt Lake we
learn that by order Of a Mormon jus,
tico, two houses Of bad repute were en-
tered yesterday afternoon BY the OH
GERS of the law, and the contents, sup
posed to be worth $4,000. destroyed.
This Is a lawless, high-handed outrage,
aud the Mormon justice and those who
were engaged In it should be promptly
punished. Great excitement naturally
prevails, with a very bitter feeling be-
tween the Mormons aud Gentiles, the
latter making threats that they will
organize a Vigilance Committee and
treat Brigham Youns's house In the
same way. We should not be surpris'
ed to hear Of 4 conflict ore long, in
which case much blood may be split.
