CHICAGO, March 3.-The attempt TO Or

Election Law OF 1872 Restored.
In the Legislature to-day an act passed
beth Houses repeating the election law
known as act 1 Of the last session. The
act repealed retained some of the obnoxious
features Of the old election law. Its repeal
leaves the law of 1872, which Gov. War
moth approved after the election, in force.
This is regarded as a fair law. Both
Houses also passed an act ordering a new
registration throughout the State.

Mr.. Scott said six Of the powers OF the
earth had accepted invitations to partlcl-
bate in the celebration. and this morning
he had received information that two more,
Austria and Sandwich Islands had also ac-

Mr.. Bayard said it was not contemplated

but only to invite the governments OF the
world to send representatives to the exhl-

France and Austria.
Mr.. Scott said the whole spirit Of our IN
situations revolts against the idea of enter
tanning crowned heads, sTd he was asten-
ished that Senators had taken such view
of the case. He hoped the question would
be settled as TO whether the exhibition was
to be national or international at once, so
that the commissioners might make their
preparations accordingly. He did not be
lieye an international celebration would
cost 100000 900 or anything like it, and the
commissioners had no Idea of mourning
such enormous expense. He had no oblec-
ton to the bill going TO the committee, pro
viding the character of the exhibition be
settled first. The Senate seemed disposed
to treat this celebration rs belonging to
Pennsylvania aud Philadelphia; he would
not hear the fair name of his State or city
assailed, even by implication, without vim
dicating their hOnOrs.
Pending discussion on motion to refer
the bill to the Committee on AplTOpria-

Murder and Suicide,

This morning Antonio Barli and Pedro
Fanchini, formerly of Port Noyes, met in
Spring street while on their way to work,
and the former shot the latter dead and
then killed himself. Ii seems the two men
were partners with one Sicardi, at 515
Broadway. Barli, by neglect of business,
was the occasion Of a quarrel which led to
his retirement from the partnership. A

and, as they met this morning, the quarrel
was renewed with the result stated.

We give place to-day to the com.
munication of Democrat" Oh the Sen
atorial Question. He advocates the
claims of H. S. Walker, Esq, Of
Charleston, who will doubtless
control a large vote in the Legisla-
ture.
Among the names mentioned for
the position Of Senator. We are glad
to hear that of Hon. Okey johnson,
of parkershurg. Mr.. johnson can
hardly be classed among politicians,
for he has never devoted himself to
political life; bur he has noble rec
ord as pure man and thorough
Democrat. When it was necessary
for him to make sacrifices for the par
ty he did not hesitate to do so, nor
has he asked reward for so doing.
Perhaps he las been too ready to
point out the faults of the party,
when he thought it was in the wrong,
but this should give him the more
honor, and is a greater evidence OF
his fitness for an exalted position.
We are very certain the interests
of the party will not suffer if left in
the hands of Mr. johnson.

This system was put in force and car
risd ON entirely by Democratic adj
miniStrations.
In North Carolina, a clause pro-
viding for Free schools was also put
in the constitution by the Radical
Constitutional convention, but unfor-
tunately for the State, q Radical
Governor and Legislature were elect
ed, and one of the first measures In
augurated, was to provide for a mix
ed school a. the State University
the consequence was that the Univer-
sity was destroyed destroyed is the
proper word it could hardly have
been more efiectually destroyed if q
bill had been passed to abolish it, end
burn down the buildings.
By the Legislation of the same
Radical bodies. the Educational fund
of the State was ruined, and there are
now. although a nominal system Of
free education is in vogue, very few
schools in operation, and nothing OF
which to boast as being worthy Of
note. The school system olthe State
is merely nominal. and there are none
of the advantages there, enjoyed in
Virginia.
The contrast holds good iu all the
Southern States.
In the north il is also true that some
of the States which are enjoying the
most thorough and extensive systems
Of education, owe them 20 Democratic
administrations.
There is no State in the Uuion
that has a better system of Free
schools than Pennsylvania; it was
Democratic administration that put
her system in motion, and gave to the
State the advantages she enjoys. 1t
was Democratic administration that
provided for the magnificent High
School in Philadelphia whose alumni
are now in the ranks OF the foremost
men in the State, and no Democratic
measure has ever tended to cripple or
impede its progress.
The Democratic party is the party
of the people, and the assertion that
it is opposed to popular education is
unfounded as It is malicious. 1t Is
enc of those ISLANDERS used by the OPP
position party to endeavOr to estrange
from it the masses of the people, who
have iu-former years been aecustOm-
ed to look to it tor the advancement
OF all causes in which the welfare of
the greatest number is concerned.

The Washington Chrouicle and JEFF
erson DAVIS.

"THE man of the Washington
Chronicle" has read the handwriting
on ,he wall, and gravely tells the
country, that the probable result of
the late political revolution, will be
the election OF Mr.. Davis to the
Presidency of the Republic in 1875.
He tells how the thing can be done,
and if events take the precise turn
he has indicated, and the House of
Representatives does not elect some
one else, We suppose Mr.. Davis will
have TO 90 to Washington and occu-
py the White House.
Since we read the Chronicles article,
we have been studying the Exon
federate Chiettain's prospects for cleo
ton and we must confess, we see no
earthly chance of his elevation to the
position of chief Executive of the
Uuited States in 1876, or al any other
time. We are somewhat at q loss
too, to know the cause of the Chroni-
cje's fears. Indeed they are quite in.
applicable on any ordinary hypothesis.
We know not why the Chronicle
should give expression to such ex-
traOrdinary fears. unless conscience
strengthened BY the results Ofthe late
elections, refuses TO be longer held in
allowance, and comes forward to avenge
the wrongs which the Republicans
have perpetrated on the Southern
people during the last nine years.
Suffering the stings Of a reprOving
conscience and seeing the mighty
tide of Indignation which surges from
one end Of the continent TO the other,
the Chronicle is tortured by the terri
Die fear that those who have been so
long oppressed will now get into pow
er, and visit upon them summary
Vengeance TOR their evil doings.
But the Chronicle need have no
fears; for it is the PRAYER of every
patriot. that the Democrats in whose
behalf Providence has so signally in
tervened may prove adequate to the
task of forgetting all their wrongs,
and administering the affairs of the
Government in the interests of the
whole people.
The strength of the Democratic
party consists in being a national par
