NEVER was corrupt and uuScrupulOuS
Ring so completely riddled and crushed as
was the Philadelphia Ring at the election
on Tuesday of last week. The official vote
Ill that city discloses the magnificent and
decisive majority of "a, 100 III faver of the
new constitution. 1t is proud and noble
verdict of the friends of reform in that
metropolis in favor of honest voting and
IN honest State government. That tho
most gigantic frauds were contemplated by
the Ring election officers became apparent
on the day of the election, but the storm
of popular sentiment was too violent to be
resisted and the Ring was buried without
hope of resurrection.
John W. Forney, who was the stcadrast
friend of the constitution from the begin
ming to the end Of the campaign, in his
Press refers to the attempted frauds as
fellows:
The first returns from the Mayors Office
1T one O'Clock on Tuesday, showed major
ity of 400 against the constitution in the
Nineteenth ward. This subsequently,
corrected in part at least aud largely re-
duced, the small maiorities returned for ;he
instrument in all the other wards, except
the tenth, being at the same time greatly
increased. Bur even after all pretended cor
rectioas the Nineteenth ward was returned
on the evening of election day rs giving $50
against the constitution. BY the official re-
turuS the same ward is found 10 have cast
majority of =. .9J7 for the instrument. The
changes in the other ward are sufficient To
make up difference OF over 1000 in the
total majority of This city
There could be no clearer evidence of the
tNct that The vote of Philadelphia has of
iate occn returned at whatever figures su:t-
ca the necessities of tie political leaders.
Ihcy have been able to produce maiorities
20 order, and thus completely nullify the
VIII OF the sovereign people. The new con-
siltuhon AIMS a destructive blow AT the vast
enelnery, and IT needs only n few finishing
strokes frcm the people 10 bury il beyond
resurrection. new registry law is inevi-
table in the interests of honest elections. and
II the same overwhelming popular senti-
ment which carried through the constitution
shall now be brought To bear upon the Leg
islature which is soon to meet, its demands
will be obeyed and the work of reform au-
spiciousl! begun

SENATOR JOHN j. PATTERSON of Penn
sylvania and South Carolina has been vim
dicated again. On Tuesday last he was
brought before a trial justice in Columbia,
having been arrested upon charges con-
tanned in an affidavit made by Col. b.
III. Rice, a Conservative member off the
South Carolina Legislature. who swore on
information and belief that Patterson had
offered r. NJ. Smith of Spartanburg $500
each for every Conservative vote which
he could influence in the Senatorial elcc-
tOn. When the examination took place,
Col. Rice testified, giving his reasons for
believing that such an offer had been made,
and Mr.. Smith gave evidence that few
evenings hefore the election he met Pat
tcrsOn. who told him that lac would give
him Smith $500 for every Conservative
vote that he should influence in Patterson's
favor. To this offer Smith testified that
he replied, Yes, and damned cheap at
that, and left him. This evidence hav-
ing been heard, Patterson brought on his
forces, including "a Deputy or ex- Deputy
United States Marshal, Il Custom House
man, and one Gum, who was the chief
witness in the ku-klux prosecutions all of
whom testified i'll his favor, after which
Honest John himself took the stand and
swore Smith out of sight, testifying that
that individual had endeavored to corrupt
him, had proposed to sell the Conservative
votes to him, and had offered to take
$500 for his own, whereupon the accused
was discharged. So far Patterson comes
out ahead, for it is certain that he will he
able TO furnish men enough to swear to
the purity of his character TO overcome
any prosecution instituted before trial jus
tceS in South Carolina. The worst dan
ger he has TO encounter now comes from
hl' own admissions that he bought his
seat IN the Senate but that is a matter
which can be easily fixed. lie will have
no difficulty whatever in producing any
number of reputable witnesses to swear
tHat they would not believe anything he
lnlSht say under oath, and thus effectual-
ly spike the last gun of his enemy-N Y.

uivioi,,s ssna she senate.

From the tinlo of Washington's admin
istration down to that of Grant, the Senate
! of the United States, in defence of its own
! high character, has never thought it prop
er or necessary to send for persons and
papers in order 10 satisfy its members of
the capacity and integrity of man whose
name had been sent TO il as Chief Justice
cf the United States. And yet this M
pai aieled proceeding took place N the
Senate last. week, when Ar. Edmunds, a
Republican Senator from Vermont who
is Chairman ef the judiciary Committee,
asked the consent Of that bcJy 70 send for
persons and papers in reference to the
charges which have been preferred against
the character of Geo. II. Williams. Could
such humiliatimg proceeding have oc-
carried in the Senate when John Adams,
III 1901. nominated John Marshall for that
high and responsible position? or in 1886,
when Andrew Jackson nominated Roger
B. fancy? or in 1861, when Abraham
Lincoln nominated the late Salmon p
Chase? Such movement in the Senate
would have shocked the moral and politi-
ical sense of the whole country. It was
reserved for L. s. Grant, il this year of
grace 1878. to force his own political
friends in'the Senate to adopt this unusual
and extraordinary course.
No final action was taken on the nomi-
nation before the adjournment of the Sen
ate on last Friday, and none can be until it
reassemblcs ON the 9th of January. 1t
will then be seen whether Senat DIS will
surrender their honest convictions Of Viii
liams' total incoinpeteucy and admitted
unitness for the Office at the personal ap-
pcals and solicitations of Grant or whcth-
eli they Will reject him and compel the
President to send in another nomination
fit to have been made. Under all the pc
cIIliar circumstances of the case, if George
II. Williams was gifted with proper sense
of personal honor he would demand of
Grant that he should recall his name from
the Senate. That, however, is not to be
expected in these degenerate days, when
scurvy politicians will attempt, by crook
ing the pregnant hinges Of the knees that
thrift may follow fawuing, to crawl into
high judicial positions for which neither
nature. education nor experience ever in-
tended them.

MUST IT BE DIFFERENTIATION ?-Wh hcG
Thomas Clarlson made his exposures of
the uefdriouS character of the African
slave trade, the parliamentary advocates
fur continuance of the detestable traffic
tried to meet the coDdemnatory tone of
pubic opinion proposing 80 regulate and
rCto1 IL the system. That great logician.
Charles James Fox, in the course of a
speech on the subject exploded this spe-
ciuu> plea by one of those vehement OK
carnations for which he was so famous :;
Regulate the slave trade y cried Fox
''N on might as well attempt to regulate
murder - ''Roform it continued he.
The only way to reform it is to cNtcr-
inmate il -
Congress seems to be doing its best to
raise this very issue in regard to the Re
pulican party. The Republicans have a
majority Of four to one in the Senate. and
OF three to one in the House. They are
responsible, therefore, for every measure
which is adopted or defeated.
Recent elections have shown that there
is a large body of honest Republicans who,
though well aware of the corruption which
pcrmeatcs their party. still cling to it with
the hope OF being able to regulate and
reform it. Congress appears to be eager
to dissipate this hope and drive this large
body Of Republicans to the conclusion
which Fox reached in regard to the slave
trade.
The Republicans in the Senate have con-
firmed Shepherd rs Governor of Columbia.
The Republicans in the House by passing
Hurlbut's salary bill have sunk to lower
deep than their predecessors. The latter
would not sell their honor for less than
So, 600 each, while the former place theirs
on the market at $500. Let the Senate
now confirm Williams for Chief Justice,
and let the House stick to its $500. and Il
large majority of the people will show by
their votes next fall that the only way to
reform the Republican party is to exter-
inmate it.-N. Y. Sun.

Mrs. ANN ELIZABETH YoUNG has deliv-
cred her great lecture in Denver, Colora-
do. She says that at present polygany is
principally fed by the foreign element,
Swedes and Danes. Many times wives
are thrown aside and a new one taken,
simply for the work she can perform as
dairy maid, housekecper, or cook. II is
cheaper than paying as well as boarding
help. PolygamouS households are widely
distributed. Brigham Young has one wife
in Plovo, fifty miles south of Salt Lake,
and another in st. George, three hundred
and fifty miles away Many of the wives
of apostles provide for themselves, and
some support their husbands. the fourwives

criminate in the treatment of their wbmen.
Nary Ann Angel, Brigham's first wife,
lives in retirement and neglect, while
Amelia, the favorite, has every luxury and
indulgence, and lives in 4 palace which
cost 5000 Neglected wives learn to
hate their husbands, and their children
sympathize with them. A little girl said
one day to her mother: mamma, | do
wish God had made men enough, SO that
every little girl could have n father to love
her." Mormons sometimes marry their
sisters bishop married his brothers.

and there was an instance where mother,
daughter and granddaughter were married
to one man. Mrs. Young's picture of po-
lygamy is certainly not an agreeable one.

BoTH houses of Congress adjourned fOr
the holidays on Friday last, to meet again
on Monday, January 5th. Although this
is the usual custom of Congress, it is one
that would be more houored in the breach
than in the observance. The constitution
requires that Congress shall meet on the
first Monday i'll December. An amend
ment ought to be adopted by that body,
and presented to the different State Legis-
latures for their ratification, changing the
time of meeting until about the second
Tuesday in January. If this were done,
there would be no necessity for a recess,
and the business or the two Legislative
branches could proceed without unneces-
sary delay OF interruption.

two farmers and their families who were
driving to Maiden TO attend church, when
about eight miles below, on east of Che
town, saw ships yawl on the lake head

a man in the stern sheets steering the boat
with an oar, and, although there were no

so firmly held by the ice that it had to be
broken with a stone before he could be
