I'VE very mucn regret that any personal
difficulty should have occurred between
MeSsrs. DOUGLASS and SESER. 1t Is unfortu
nate that two gentlemen, candidates for high
position at the. hands of the people, should bt
led into personal collision. 1t is not favora
bleto enlightened discussion; but In this
ease it is particularly unfortunate, because
the Radical party is always seeking for op.
portunities to charge upon the Conserya.
tiyes acts of violence and personal Offences.
As was to be expected, the whole Radical
press is charging that MIR. SENER was mobbed
and beaten, and terribly cat-hauled every
way, besides havinga an arm broken, or two
arms broken, apd SO on, and SO on.
Mr.. sRNER publishes card while his arm
is in pain and his mind is illustrated, chary
ing that he was mobbed. ANYBODY
who knows the intelligent and generous
people OF the county where the occurrence
took place well knows that they could no.
be guilty Of mobbing Mr. SsEER. The sim.
pie facts were that as sequel to offer.

law. The law p:oTidcs tina: after the polls
are closed the tickets shall be counted, and
if there are more tickets in the box than
there are names recorded as those of persons
having voted, the excess shall be drawn
from the box. Now, suppose there are SOC

BURGESS, and 200 for and against the amend
ments but for neither candidate, there will
be ! 200 votes recorded. What is to be
done? Two hundred extra votes may be
given to either candidate. Nobody knows
bu, that every man voted for the candidates
Nobody Knows how many of the one thou

they are talking about. A piece of wire

: The reader has read the Boy Congress
mans card in which he gives up the gnost.
II has been rumored that he recently paid o
visit to Washington aud saw General GRANT
and the upshot was tina. he gave way 10
BURGESS. although he bad publicly sworn
never to dose. We are left to conclude tnal
the matter was managed in Washington, and
probably in the While House, where party
interests are watched and orders are issued
20 Radical followers. We wonder what our
friend Colonel BEARD will do, now that AM
BIER is out of the racer
WALKER would have beaten both OF MS
competitors but he will get much larger
mpiority over BURGESS than he would nave
rotten over SMITH and BURGESS combined.
SMITH is young. Lie isa native OF Richmond.
There are some young persons VINO might
have voted for him who cannot he induced
10 vote for BURGESS, the weaker candidate OF
the two. WALKER will sweep the district,
and RUsu will be continued in the Internal
Revenue Department. Indeed, we cannot
spare him from that place.
In other days the Interference OF the Go
yernment in congressional elections would
have been sufficient 10 crush its Candidates
under the weight of public indignation. That
sort of interference is so common that nobody
seems to mind it now; but we do not need
il in this contest. BURGESS is doub'y beaten
without it.
WALKER is relieved of his strongest oppo-
pent and some of The voters Of little enl-
barrassment in voting. The district is more
than ever safe.
