RuIes TO be Observed on Election Day.


Rules to be Observed on Election Day.
Go to the Polls early. Stay all day. Have
tickets on hand to supply every voter
Immediately. Some men are timid and
dread voting in opposition to some friends
wishes. Others feel under obligations to
some active canvasser on the Democratic
side. Meet these weak brethren, before
they arrive at the place of voting; supply
them with tickets and escort them to the
polls. Keep them out of the hands Of
interfering Democrats, and give them
moral support-and physical too, if neces-
sary-till they have voted the ticket they
desire to vote. Keep sharp lookout for
spurious tickets, an exact copy perhaps OF
the Republican ticket with some Demo-
crat candidates name sandwiched on them.
Look for these tickets sharply, there will
be plenty of them about. See that colored
voters are not deceived by having those
bogus tickets placed in their hands. Look
out for these dangerous counterfeits all
r0unQ. Inc canVaSSerS Can De Ioo PAL
ticular in this respect.
Tick off all absentees by three o'clock
and send carriages after them. Bring
every man to the polls who is able to get
to, or be hauled there. Impress on your
neighbor his duty of rendering assistance
in getting out the entire vote. Every man
can do something. Some times busy
patriot hinders more than he helps. Get
him into a carriage and send him to the
furthest corner of the district to bring out
some voter who has no way of getting to
the election. Work with all your might
from now till election morning; and then
redouble your efforts till the polls close.
Inspire your neighbors with confidence in
our undoubted ability to achieve sweep
ing victory in the county if We work for it.
Assure them that we have the men-which
is the fact-if we only bring them all to
the polls.
Look out for Democrat candidates coax
ing our men to vote for them as personal
favor. Prevent them from thus aiding to
defeat their own friends. We can elect
every man on the Republican ticket if we
work steadily in line. So up and at 'em
boys.

Voting on Principle.

Democratic polHician.-Well, my friend,
how are you going to vote next week?
Bummer.-I votes on principle, | do.
Couldn't you give a fellow pair of boots .
Democrat politician.-Oh yes, vote this
ticket, and the boots are yours.
Bummer.-All right you put me in
some place the night before the lection,
give me a little whisky and the boots, and
I'm your man. l votes on principle, do.

LOOK OUT FOR FALSE REPORTS.

Mr.. Haines publishes a Card to-day in
reference to groundless statements made
against him in The Democrat last week,
and other similar inventions which the
enemy have been industrously circulating
in hopes of iniuring his election. All re-
ports about Republican candidates being
pledged to certain measures or laws, or
candidates to fill offices in their gift are
pure inventions got up by the enemy at
the eleventh hour, when too late to contra
dict.
One report in circulation is that our
candid ates for County Commissioners are
pledged to appoint certain men as Collec-
tors, and Clerk to the Board, &c. All
such stories are entirely false. These shall
low inventions will be published with dis
play heads in The Democrat to-day, in all
probability. Be assured that all such
statements are simply lies, and we are
authorized by the candidates to deny them.
~ The Slippery Politicians of the 4th
District and the " Elkton Ring" are trying
to prejudice Mr.. Strickland with his friends
in the 4th, on the Big Elk Bridge question,
which the two Democrats in the Board of
County Commissioners SO severely botched
Mr.. Strickland was utterly powerless to do
anything. The two consulted together and
did as they pleased without regard to Mr..
Strickland views Mr.. Strickland is one
of the working people and we appeal to
that class to stand up for their interest by
voting for him.

BRING OUT THE VoTE.-It cannot be
too often or to warmly urged upon Repub-
licans who are such from principle, that
they have a single duty in the present
campaign. That duty is the polling of a
full vote of the Republican ticket. The
Republican State ticket is composed of
men of unimpeachable character. Our
local nominees are of the like stamp. A
multitude of Democrats will vote the
ticket. Bring out the Republican vote,
and success is certain.

When Senator Morton stated in /

When Senator Morton stated in his
public speech that a prominent citizen of
South Carolina told him that he and his
neighbors had made inventories of their
slaves in order that the Government might
know how much to pay them therefor, he
was rdiculed by many Democrats. Now it
appears that r. NJ. T. Hunter, of Virginia,
in recent speech at an agricultural fair
at Winchester, spoke of the justice of this
claim, and demanded that the Government
should pay it. Four hundred millions is
the modest little sum claimed. 1t is hard
to believe that any Southerner outside of
the insane asylum believes that this, or
any part of it, will ever be paid. r. NJ. T.
Hunter aspires. it is said, to be leader of
the Conservative party in Virginia.
position which is not universally accorded
to him. We hope not. Any man, who,
with malice aforethousht," fills the
minds of his fellow citizens wi tn such per-
nicious notions, is not fit to lead any organ
ization, and will inevitably ruin any which
he attempts TO lead. 1t is pity that
Southern politicians will not learn that the
war and its results are accomplished facts,
and that no set of men, now in power, or
ever likely to come in, need attempt to
change what has been settled for all time.

AN EDITOR SHOT IN HIS OFFICIAL
two o'clock on Monday afternoon terri
BILE tragedy took place in the office of the
Cumberland Nd. daily Times. An article
appeared in that mornings issue of the
Times assailing the character of Horace
Resley, Clerk of the Circuit Court and
charging that there was fraud practiced
in paying jurors and talismen. John II.
Resley, son of the Clerks went to the
Times office, armed with revolver and
meeting Lloyd l.. Clary, the editor, in
the hall at the top of the first flight of
stairs, he put to him the question, g Did
you write that article ?" at the same time
drawing his pistol. Clary exclaimed
"John, give me a chance" Resley said,
"No," and Immediately fired two shots
the one passing through Clary's neck and
the other entering his chest, just below
the heart, intiicting a fatal wound. The
crime was little less than deliberate MUIR
der. The article charging fraud upon the
successfully contradicted, for it gave
names dates and amounts. And if true
it was proper and legitimate matter for
publication, being the disbursement of
county taxes as pay to jurors. A matter
the people are vitality concerned in know
ing all about.

There has been tall figuring done by
political arithmeticians; in fact they are
noted for that kind Of cyphering, but THE
Democrat has surpassed all former efforts.
To have been connected with the school
business so long, makes the performance
more remarkable. The exploit in arrang-
ing numbers to make $1,000 more than
107, 900, is what makes the readers of that
paper scratch their Democratic heads
The aforesaid paper, however, stoutly
maintains that such is the fact, but does
not attempt to demonstrate this arithmeti-
cal wonder. Notwithstanding the sklllful
operations advertised to be performed Oh
blind eyes by that surgical and medical
journal, the scales have not been removed
sufficiently from any to enable them to see

WHISKY AND OYSTERS.

The "Elkton Ring have maintained
open houses at North East for some time.
Champagne and oyster suppers at all hours
are free to all. The " Ring" slept in the
mills several nights, and it was amusing to
see the Register and clerk and Sheriff and
Delegates to the House that would be,
come out of the mills in the morning from
behind the furnaces and piles Of sheet IRON,
and shake themselves. The black dust
would fly off of them like chimney sweeps.
All the oysters in the town were bought
up as fast as they could be carted from the
boats. The "Ring" have been supplied
with funds by the Baltimore ring" and
are having jolly time. They are making
a dead set upon theFifth District, and try

TEE IdaHT I'm PERsIA.-The Shah Of
Persia. on the occasion OF the anniver-
sary Of his birth. made q sensible speech
in reference to q proposed visit to Eu-
rope. he wishes to develop friendly re-
lations with civilized countries. and
draw closer the commercial ties which
bind them with Persia. His Majesty
also desirea to form his opinion upon the
lands be is to visit, and see if he Gun dis.
cover any valuable reforms which may
be introduced to the administration on
his return. In conoludion, he urged
prompt obedience to the Grand Vizier,
the originator OF the recent improve.
ments at Teheran, but intimated his in
esntion of ruling partially himself by
means OF the telegraph, which is to keep
h!m acquainted with all that is going on
in the empire during his absence.
There could be no more significant
Indication at the progress OF liberal
and practical ideas than to find O
ruler OF Persia, an Asiatic country,
which has not only the characteristic
aversion to innovations Of all Oriental
lands, bat OF which it has been said in
holy Writ That ''the law OF the Msdes
and Persians'a 'altereth NOT" going to Eu-;
rope to improve bis relations with ciyil-
lied countries. and to saeH he can iiss-
cover any valaabiae rsioaf rsioafhhs hhss which may be
introduced into his administration. Even
so late as a century ago. the possibility
OF such thing would have been laughed
ct even in Uhristendom, and if to this
had been added q prediction that the
Shah would partially rule his subjects
while absent By means Of q wire through
the air and Under the ocean. the widest
msrvels of the Arabian Nights would
have been deemed credible in oompari-
son.

The RIGHT COURSE. We learn that
under Instructions from Judge Mackey,
the grand jury of Lancaster last week
found true bills against the old Board Of
County Commissioners, the present
board, and the County Treasurer, Cou-
sart, recently removed. The charges
against the old Board of County Com
missioners aud the late Treasurer, as We
are informed, were malfeasance and cor
ruption in office; the charge against the
present Commissioners was misfeasanoe,
or rather nonfeasance, in the discharge
OF their official duties, Cousart, who
has had the money bags Of the County
for some time, refused to surrender the
office to Rev. j. 9. Clinton, coIored,
who had been appointed in his stead
BY ''our native young Governor" Judge
Mackey held an indictment in terroren,
over him, and made him surrender the
keys. All honor and praise to the pre-.
siding Judge Of the Sixth Circuit, who
eMpces determination to protect the
people within his Jurisdiction from the
scourge OF dishonest and inefficient off.

Ine election IN Paris Is over, and re.
suited in one point differently from that
at first telegraphed. The correct returns
give NJ. Barodet (the Radical candidate
for the Vacancy 18O, ,148 votes; Count de
Remusat lThiers Conserva.ive) 1856, ,4O6;
and Baron Stofel (Stofel monarohist)
27.058. The total poll was 342, GOO. and
Barodet has q clear majority over De
Remusat and Stoffel Of 1852 votes.
The straight Republicans have not only
to congratulate themselves on their VIC
tory in Paris on Sunday, for on the
same day they carried the elections in
the departments OF Correze, Jura and
Marne. AS an Offset must be chronicled
the success of the Catholics in Morbi-
han. These elections are interesting as
showing the decided bent of the French
people to accept Republicanism as not
only the best temporary expedient, bnt
also to attempt to found a permanent
government on it's basis. The obstacles
to be surmountsd are enormous, but
enormous obstacles have been passed.

The IMPERIAL HoB-Non.-The cordial
reception OF the Emperor Of Germany
in st. Petersburg by the Gear, and the
enthusiasm of the large multitudes in
whose presence the reception took place,
would seem to indicate good under
standing between those two great powers.
The dispositions Of the present Emperor
OF Russia towards Germany have always
been. understood to be friendly, though
one Of his sons is said not to share these
sentiments. It is to be hoped that the
present imperial meeting has no signifi-
canoe beyond an interchange of good
Offices between the two monarchs. The
combination Of two such powers for ag.
gressive purposes would leave the rest Of
Europe helpless at their feet.

"'Is THKRR TO Be a PAN1o?"-This

than to speculators, and keep their re.
serves upon sound banis, there need be
