An incident is mentioned showing how the
gangs OF repeaters in the late Ro-called "elec-
tion" in Philadelphia we're protected in their
Infamous work. Early On election day it was
noticed that drunken, swearing fellows, roughly
clad and looking like house~breakers, came up
to the polls, claimed the names Of eminent
clergymen on the registry and voted accordingly,
the police and the Republican Committee testi-
Tying to their identity and residence. They ALL
voted for Hartranft and the State Prison ticket
in full. A tremendous scandal WEB stirred up.
The mystery was explained, however, afterward~
when numerous complaints like the following
we're made before the authorities:
Two clergymen, the Fev. Drs. B. G1igg, and B. C.
Patterson, appeared before the Commissioner a1d
charged that they Ind been refused voting, On the

It he did. 1t would not be consistent with the
spirit Of the movement which will carry him into
power. He has promised that he Will restore
peace and fraternal good feeling to all Of our
people. He has promised that he will give Us
sound Civil Service Reform, that be will intro
duce honor and honesty into the administration
of the Government, and say, gentlemen and

this because We cannot get more"

PROSPECTS OF PEACE m EUROPE.

The Berlin correspondent Of the Nation, who
seems to have good sources Of information, De-
lieyes that the recent meeting Of the three En-
perors Of Germany, Russia, and Austria had the
sole object OF securing to Europe long term OF
peace. The conclusion ia more reasonable than
that at which the French and English Journal
lists arrived, after having failed to find in the
conference anything directly threatening to their
OWL interests. The latter profess the belief
that the meeting had no political significance
whatever; but it is highly probable that, if this
had been the case, there would not have been so
much care exercised over the German and
Russian press to suppress all accounts OF the
interviews.
The construction Of q peace-c conference, IN
formal in its nature, but as binding perhaps, as
il it had more definite shape, is certainly a
gratifying Interpretation Of the Emperora'
meeting. First comes Germany, who, IN the
person Of Emperor William, ia in the most fa-
yorab1e condition for suggesting and promoting
plan for more lasting peace than Europe can
ordinarily contemplate. Satisfied with its con-
quests, united in it's possessions, concentrated
in it's territory, and assured OF prosperity in the
power of it's Government and the patriotism Of
its people, Germany can have no deai1e for
war and nothing to gain by it. The
naturalization Of the provinces OF Alsace
and Lorraine, SO long in dispute,
has eratifed a cherished ambition, and oontrib-
uted largely to the revenues and resources Of
the nation. In an international effort to assure
European peace, therefore, the Empire Of Cor
many would naturally take the first step. The
Empire Of Austria could scarcely refuse its CO.
operation in such movement, when it's more
powerful neghbor suggested it, even if it were
so disposed. The lesson Of Sadowa is not go old
as to have been forgotten. Since the time Of
sadowa, too, the German Empire has assumed
position and strength in inverse proportion
to the decline Of Francis Joseph's power. The
Hungarian element in the Austrian Government
has steadily developed aa it has abandoned the
idea of separate Government and conformed to
constitutional rule: This element naturally
sides with the German Empire in every effort to
maintain general peace, SO long as it can shape
the Government of the Austrian Empire to Its
! own best interests. There are equally gooo
reasons why Russia should willingly unite IN the
peace project, It has no fear Of German en-
croach1nents upon its own territory. The ten
dency Of Prusaian acquisition has been IN tae
other direction. Russia cannot regard this With
| ANYTHING like envy or suspicion. Il she can re-
tain the complete and undisputed sovereignty
Of all tha Rpssiaa she will hare territory enough

The discoveries Of frauds in the Pennsylvania
election are go numerous that it seems impos-
sib1e and almost superduous to count them.
The presiding genius Of this gigantic tniqulty
VAS Simon Cameron, about whom the House OF
Representatives, April 80, 1862, under the lead
Of EIihu B. Washburne and Henry L. Dawes,
and by vote Of 70 to 45, entered this minute
upon its journal: stResolued, That Simon Cam
eron, late Secretary Of War, by investing Alex
ander Cummings with control Of large sums OF
the public money and authority to purchase mil
itary supplies without restriction, without re-
quiring from him any guarantee for the faithful
performance OF his dutes when the services OF
competent public officers we're available, and BY
involving the Government in vast number OF
contracts with persons not legftimately engaged
in the business pertaining to the subject matter
Of such contracts, especially in the purchase OF
arms tor future delivery, has adopted policy
highly injurious to the public service, and de-
serpes the censure Of the House."

The Theological Seminary at Auburn, N. T.,
has made An important movement in favor Of
NJ uscnlar Christianity by establishing bowl
ing-a1ley in connection with the institution.
Such sensible aids to the spread Of religion are
Of such rare occurrence as to deserve notice.
Ne are entirely safe in the prediction that tho
graduates from Auburn will eoon command
higher salaries than any Of their less fortunate
and more haccla fellows, who graduate with
large heads and soft muscles, and Who never
can get themselves into condition for free
fight with Satan. The size Of the biceps has
more to do With the inculcation Of religious
precepts than Theological semlnaries, a. =
rule, are willing to admit.

4 correspondent Of the London Morning Post
has discovered new remedy for sea-sickness.
He aays that, though peculiarly susceptible to
the morbid influence Of tosaing boat" he es-
capes sickness By 'scurtseying gently so as to
time his movements to meet and oppose the nc
ton Of the vessel" To accomplish this it is
only necessary .ttto bend the Knees, but not so
a. to attract attention, or make ones self con-
spicuons'' There is something grotesquely
humorous In this correspondents remedy. The
andunts movements OF q cabin full OF
passengers In long swell, tbs
auegrettos in ordinary swells, the
prestissimos in storm, and the Wagnerish
mixture Of te1apos in chop sea, would combine
to make up dance movement more picturesque
and excruciating than all the stausses COM
bined could invent. We do not Wish, however,
to prejudice the remedy, which was evidently
borrowed from the plan which an intoxicated
man adopts to prevent the sidewalk from hit
ting him when it comes up.

There will be very general feeling Of relief
that Mr. Sergeant Bates, who proposes to carry
the American flag from some place in Scotland
to Guildhau, London, has sailed from Naw York,
and Is now On his way thither to carry ont hia
plan. It is aincerely to ba hoped that II the
hard-headed scotchmen clap him into an insane
asylum no one in this country will be absurd
enough to interfere and correct that very natural
proceeding. The despairing remark Of Macbeth,
"Tims was that when the brains we're, out the
man would die" will derive new force from Ser
geant Bates Scottish journey.

Commissioner Davenport has undertaken to reg

It can scarcely be that the distribution Of
funds by the Administration party in Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana, just prior to the late cleo
tions, could have any influence on the stringent
state Of the money market 1t ia true that these
funds would naturally find their way among =
n-commercia1, though extremely mercantile
class Of people but even With this fact, and the
additional circumstance that the amount was
very large, It must still be remembered that the
money CAME from the politicians and their gov
ernment connections, and We cannot conceive
how the distribution could influence commercial
interests one way or the other, We mako this
explanation for the benefit at those who think
that the election Of Greeley would tend to make
money tight,

ehrewd Frenchman, NJ Linton BY name, has
discovered plan OF utilizing electricity which
will commend itself to all owners Of frisky
horses, addicted to running away. The appl1car
ton Of the electricity is in the hands Of the
driver, and he Gun at give his fraetious AMI
mails charge OF it sufficient not only to surprise
them, but to shock them and bring them to q
dead halt Where the driver would go to, after
this sudden halt, or what sort ct tangential
arc be would describe, ia not stated and Is, per-
hans. Immatetial, as long "a the horses are
stopped,
This novel form Of electrical application ia
specially valuable IN the suggestions it offers.
For instance, q man comes home at night tired
out with the days business, and finds his wife
cross and petulant and disposed to lecture him
after the manner Of Mrs. Caudle. He immediately
applies the electrical current and reduces her to
silence. Or man comes home from
the lodge, in the small hours, the worse tor liq-
nor; and is disposed to be quarrelsome or silly;
the wife instantly applies charge OF electricity
to him, silences him for the remainder Of the
night, turns over and goes to sleep again. DR..
Holmes, in his 'Poet at the Breakfast Table" "
silences the boarders when they grow garrulous,
with pellet from ss that boys pop-gun. Eleo-
tricity, however, would be much more effective.
4 long-winded speaker at q political or tenn
perance or prayer meeting could be choked of at
any instant and placed hors de combat for the
rest of the evening. It would be worth cart
loads Of gave1s to presiding officer. In an OK.
cited debate, where dozen men are On their feet
at 3 time, he could sllenoe the whole
Of them in the moRt shocking manner.
The uses Of electricity in this way might be
multiplied ad infnituns. Gilmore long ago dis
covered how much musical noise could be made
with cannons and bells, fred with electricity /;
but greater than Gilmore has arisen IN thla IN.
genious Frenchman, who has taught the worla
how to apply the poultlce Of silence to the plo"a
Of sound, Anyone who will tend to reduce the
amount Of noise in the world deserves praise
and encouragement. and rs such, II. Linton is
public benefaQtor, and deserves to have hla
name handed down to poste1ity side by a1ae
with that Of Franklin.

These figures suggest = possible modification
Of the plan for securing minority representation
by allowing every Representatives, cast as many
votea az we're cast for him. This would still
leave many yote1a unrapresenteA It's chief
value would be to give large constituencies their
proper weight. Suppose, however, that this
modification Of it should be tried After every
election Of Legislature, divide the aggregate
number Of votes cast BY each party by the NUM-
her Of Representatives elected, and let the quo
tient be the number Of votes which each Repre-
sentative is entitled to cast. This would make
every vote in the State tell, and would, appa-
rently, be absolutely fair.
