THE HALTING DEMOCRACY.

| The attempt to drill the Democratic
members Of Congress in the new tactic!
proves. to be difficult business. Some
Of the best casuists in the country art
trying to prove from Calhoun's speeches
that he would. if alive, vote for new
, election in Louisiana; but they fail C
secure any game. The fact is, no Demo
cratic statesman before Senator Carpen
ter's time ever conceived such scheme
for wiping out State lines: none evel
favored federal interference in a State
election, when all its tribunals were in
accord. If any Of the first expounders OF
the constitution had thus held, they
would have said so in unambiguous
| phrase, and been left at home by their
con stituents ever afterward.
The Democracy of Kentucky, Maryland,
New jersey and other States in which the
| sun never rises. or frequently sets, see
that their only chance to hold on to power
is to keep out Of the reach of Congress
Il is doubtful whether the majority of
their elections would stand the scrutiny of
an impartial tribunal, and in case any
State were necessary for the maintenance
of political supremacy, according to their
belief, a Republican Congress would not
hesitate to set aside any Democratic re-
turns and declare their opponents elected.
The Democrats of Connecticut, New
Hampshire. Ohio. California, Oregon, and
other States. too. show opposition to the
new departure in American politics, and are
unwilling to surrender all chance of future
success. Certain districts in New York,
Pennsylvania. Indiana, Ohio. Illinois and
Wisconsin. and other States, are almost
sure for the Democracy under the present
custom. Blu. they would have everything
to fear hereafter if the precedent were es-
tablished tina. the national government
can look into the titles to Office by going
back to the popular vote.
The New York World attempts to show
that there is a clear legal path open to
the dvocates Of new election. but does
not urge its propriety in very earnest
manner. We notice that when the Re-
publ cans seem to be most in favor Of the
new election, the Democrats retreat. and
rally again to its support as the Repub-
leans grow Indifferent. 1t looks to us
like game of bluff. with the usual IN
willin gness on the part of the weaker party
to show hands. It would be worth some.
thing to place it in the power Of Congress
to give Republican officers to several Of
the b order States. who have never enjoyed
that luxury: but we do not want it done
at our expense. and Tor once find our
selves on the side OF McCreery. Beck.
Bayard. Salisbury. McEicker and the
other Representatives who are sent to Con-
.ress every term for no better purpose
that we can see than to draw their pay.
and vote when occasion permits fos an
increase.

The Picayune tells merry little tale
about the Democratic candidate for mayor
OF Mobile, who, like McEnery. failed to
get his seat. He is importuned it seems,
by ''old and respectable" citizens to take
the mayoralty. SO whenever one of this
class gets very red in the face about his
failure to do so. he draws little book on
him and asks the indignant old ''cit" ito
enlist in his forlorn hope. or TO put up
money for the "cause." According to our
contemporary they all wilt on this practi-
cal application to their patriotism.
This is an excellent joke on the Mobile
Democrats, but really the Picdy,ne went
unnecessarily far from home for facts for
its narrative. Our Fusion soliciting COM
mittees could have furnished them abun-
dainty.

A letter from Florence TO the Boston Re,.
'ster, dated December -. says: yesterday
we visited the Protestant Cemetery and
stood by the graves of Theodore Parker and
Mrs. Browning, and found the leaves as
green and the roses as lovely as in June.
Yet sometimes in this sheltered valley We
are reminded of winter when cold breath
of wind comes sweeping down upon us
from the snowclad peaks in the distance.
We also visited the studio of Thomas Ball,
who is executing. a monument of Abraham
Lincoln for the colored men Of Washing
ton. 1t represents Lincoln standing over a
kneeling slave, with his right arm stretched
over him and these last words OF the eman
cipstion act ON the pedestal: And upon
this act invoke the cossiderate Judgment
of mankind and the favor of Almighty
God"

Communicated
Frauds Of the Havana Lottery.

HAVANA, February II. 1874.
Though many days have passed on the wings OF
!gnt and shadow since my last letter was inserted
in the sparkling columns of your paper l assure
you have often desired that circumstances here
were euch as to enable me to dip my pen in the
brilliant cOOrs of the rainbow TO portray happy
state of things, in order that my correspondence
might be agreeable to readers and the friends
of Cuba at home and abroad But .he case is quite
different. The Gem OF the Antilles is irretrieva
bly, lost to Spain. Distrust ard poverty prevail
here; the government ia bankrupt and ruin is
staring the inhabitants of the faithful island
the face.
The Captain General Senior jovellar, Is at pres.
emit, like Hamlet. "cOntending with ii trOu-
bles." The officials under him are dShonest. q nd
only aspire to plui der private individuals and
even the treasury. To give YOU an instance will
state that Senior Valero the chief administrator of
the Havana ROYAL LOTTERY is in Jail. He. like
some of his predecessors. has brought the lottery
buy tickets now. Most of them sold abroad.
where purchasers are ignorant of the thefts prac.
ticed
The administrator of the lottery is eriminalIy
prosecuted. having for some time past kept some
OF the numbers out Of the globe, then purchased
the tickets bearing those numbers and calling hem
out as having dra wn price. The buyers of tickets
have, of course, been grossly swindled by this
terprsing Oh1cer, who, in short time, is believed
Stewards.
Senior valero is also charged with a number of
stealing operations whereby he has robbed the
people IN the most barefaced manner. One of his
games was to lay the sub-coectOrs under cOntri.
button and backmail them; another pet scheme
the distribution of lottery tickets with a COM
mission of twenty-five cents each for himself.
He also kept all the unsOd tickets in his desk and
# any of them drew prizes, he presented them
through third party, and got the money. In this
way the Havana Royal Lottery has been managed.
Some years ago two persons presented each the
same ticket, which had drawn the largest prize.
The lottery is now managed b Don RaIael de la
Tore the Secretary of Senior vaero; but the lati-
tude given to the manager, and the plan of draw
ing prizes, are such that it is almost impossible to
prevent frauds. fe25 2p Ct
