AN OLD GERMAN CITIZEN DROWNED.
About half past eight o'clock last evening,
Frederick Werner, an aged German citizen,
residing on Governor street, between
Franklin and Main, was drowned in the
canal near the new Gallego cotton
mill. The body was recovered. 1t
had drifted down to the gate of the locks.
Werner was about sixty-three years of
age, and is supposed by his son to have
been walking out for fresh air, as he was a
great sufferer from asthma. An inquest
was held this morning, the jury finding
verdict of accidental drowning.

GREELEY N BROWN.

Just as we go to press we are in
formed by telegraph that the Nation
al Democratic Convention nominated
Horace Greeley and b. Gratz Brown,
unanimously, on the first ballot, and
adopted the Cincinnati platform
This announcement will not fall I'M
expected upon our readers. For
weeks past the inevitable logic of
events has headed in that direction.
The almost unanimous sentiment OF
the Democracy of the South and
West has favored this course, and the
delegates of the National Convention,
in doing as they have, were only car
rying out the expressed demands OF
their constituency.
While we would have personally
preferred candidates more in accord
with the past history of u party
We yet believe it is our duty to abide
by the unanimously expressed choice
of our national Convention. and
throwing aside our personal prelu'
dices, cheerfally support the nomi
nees which it presents for our SUI
frages. Nothing but the sublimes'
patriotism and the most unseltsh zeal
for the veal of our country coul,t
have animated the great Democratic
heart to pursue the course which it has
in this contest, and with something OF
that patriotic sentiment animating our
heart we now announce our adherence
and support to the Baltimore Con-
vention. We have always been found
supporting the standard bearers put
forward by the Democratic Conyen-
tons, and there We expect to be found
so long as a~ssemblages of the people
are held under the name of Dcmoc-
.racY.

Tie trial OF Sam. May. last week at
Salem, was one of the most shameful
c~aricatures upon Justice that ever
dlsgraced the forum. We are as
sured upon the most undoubted Re
publican authority that it was impos-
sible to procure an unbiased jury in
that county, to sit upon this case, and
it was fully evident to all who wit
messed the proceedings that the %juries
in the case were packed" for the pur-
pose Of procuring an acquittal. Even
the jury who sat upon his third trial,
and acquitted May, were heard to as
sert that they had not n doubt of his
guilt. Is not this the vilest of per-
juryP Q ra.l 2ia
May had three trials last week, and
upon each n it was proven conclu-
sively that he had stolen large sums
of money from the State, and yet in
every case the juries were so "ixed'

THE DUTY OF VOTES

Henry Ward Beecher thinks it as
much the duty of every man TO vote
s to say his prayers, feeling sure that
'.this beloved country is worth all the
effort we can give it.r-Erchange.
Yes, every citizen ought to vote,
and vote understandingly. But this
system of securing votes by spending
money among the low and worthless,
appealing to the passions and corrupt
motives of men, is so abhorent to all
good citizens, tina: sometimes one feels
that suffrage is too cheap in this coun-
try. It is laudable for men to go into
"a contest upon some fixed principles
and advocate those principles before
the people, and endeavor to influence
men to vote with them on the merits
of questions at issuei but when we
get down to influencing votes by
spending money layishIy and ap-
Pealing to all the corrupt influences
in our communities, we doubt wheth-
er men excited to vote under such
appliances are performing a praise
worthy duty a higher standard of
political morality must be adopted, or
we may expect nothing but eorrup-
ton and rascality in our public Off
GERS. A man that will buy a vote
viii sell his own, if the proper price
be offered. There is no question
about this in our mind. A man who
will go into the field with the idea of
influencing votes with money is not
fit to be trusted with public conf
dence. It is time for US, as a people.

o~oaRJPrING VOTERS.

II is useless to disguise or ignore the
fact that the practice of corrupting
voters with money at our elections,
has become common. 1t IS done at
every important election. oters are
openly, shamelessly, and unGisguised'
iy bought at the polls, like cate In
the market. The inducements 20
men to sell their votes are yearly b.
coming greater, and in the number of
those who are willing to sell their
manhood, constantly increasing
Where will it end? Can it be stayed?
These are grave and serious questions.
If it cannot be stayed, there is indeed
but little hope for the honor or safety
of the country. But 1t can be stayed,
and it must be stayed. No proper
effort has heretofore been made to
stay it. 1t is true that our last Legs.
lature passed a law which was de-.
sIgned "to prevent frauds in cleo
TONS" but it has been tried and prov
en- wholly insufficient to preserve the
purity or guard the sanctity of the
ballot from grossest outrages. No
honest man will deny that hundreds
of Illegal votes were cast at our recent
Congressional election, and yet there
seems to be nc remedy for this dam
aging and ~disgraceful state of affairs
under the now existing law.
As the law now stands, a voter may
go to the polls, and openly declare to
the Judges of election that he has re-
ceiyed money for his vote, and yet
they T compelled to receive it if of
fered. The paying or receiving of
money for ones vote is not a legal
ground for challenge, at the polls; if
it were, that alone would almost pre-
vent The evil. In such a case, when
one who was suspected Of brib-
ing voters, offered his own vote, he
would be challenged, and before his
vote would be received, he would
have to swear that he had not, direct.
ly or indirectly, bribed, or attempted
to bride a fellow voter, and that he
would not do SO during the day of
election; and when one who was sus-
pected of being bribed, offered his
vote, he would first have to purge
himself of the suspicion. Who be-
|~lieves that, if this bribery were made
a ground Of challenge at the polls, the
class of men who yearly influence
voters with money (if challenged)
would commit perjury? Political
and party zeal would mark every maj
at the polls who was suspected OF
bribing, or being bribed. Their votes
would be challenged, and thus the
vile, pernicions, and ruinous practice
would be rendered SO impracticable
as to insure its speedy Abandonment.

pumping water, which otherwise
would impede the progress of the
work. Along the line is q tramway
on which cars are now used carrying
stone and earth to necessary points.
AT the upper end, the work on the
upper lock is under way and is well
advanced. Four locks are to be con-
structed, and the sides of the canal
are to be walled with wood The
distance from one end to the other is
something over q quarter Of a mile

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

At the New Jersey Liberal Repub-
lican State Convention Gen. II. A.
Barnum, Of New York. pledged his
State to give a majority OF 100 900 for
'Old Honesty" and said he knew of
whole counties that had gone over to
Greeley from Grant since tho latter
began his lettering by the seaside.
The Wells tMinn.) 1sias, an indie
pendent Republican paper, says: "In
Freedom county there is a strong
Greeley element in the Republican
party. In n town there is said to
be but IA Grant man, and he is on
the fence. Good judges place the
Greeley vote in the county, including
the Democratic, at 650--a gain of 800.
An administration paper denied
that there were more thar two Gree
ley Republicans in Aurora, Illinois,
Immediately a call for a Liberal Con-
vention was circulated and IN less than
two hours it was signed by Sc resi-
dents who voted for Grant in 1865
Further investigation shows fully 800
of the Republican voting population
were outspoken for Greeley.
The Joliet (Ills.) Signal says
"Thero are at least two hundred Re-
publicans in Joliet who will vote for
Greeley and Brown. In tho other
towns of the county, at least one-third
of the Republican voters will do the
