THE coarse and vulgar filings of the
Democrat at Col. Cotter, Mr.. Cool
man and other leading Democrats,
may be very witty in the estimation
of some of the readers of that sheet,
but we have yet to learn what those
gentlemen have done that should cub
ject them to these vile personal attacks.
They are reputable citizens, whose
characters will not in any respect suf-
fer by comparison with those of
their defamers.

| Correspondence.
ED. PRESS: We were not little
surprised, in looking over your paper
of last week, at seeing a card of sym.
| pathy addressed to the man, who,
(whether iustifiably or not, we are
hardly prepared to say) has taken the
life of q fellow. sending to the home
of his victim shock of terror, of
which we can form no adequate con-
ception, and causing thrill of horror
through the whole community. Our
surprise was heightened by seeing the
card signed by the Ladies' Christian
Temperance Union. We had thought
the glory of our noble cause consisted
of our warfare were not carnal, but
spiritual. We were not able to discov-
er a word condemnatory of the tiend
who in selling the liquor was really
the procuring cause OF the tragedy,
nor word of sympathy for the poor
victim thus sent uncalled for into the
pTCStuCt VI ilo MdktT vtI lOI
the stricken wife and mother, into
whose humble home so dark a shadow
has come. Perhaps they do not real
ize that the poor grieve as much as
others. Without going into detail, it
seems very strange, to us outsiders,
that, in the city of Cleveland, where.
the arrests fer disturbance are hun
dreds in month, we scarcely ever
hear of violence; that in city of
little less magnitude, where the arrests
perhaps do not average more in year
than in Gin a month, it is necessary
to shoot man in cold blood to affect
his arrest, and we sincerely hope your
future officers may not always deem
euch procedure necessary to gain the
sympathy and applause of the lady
portion Of your community.

A MORE villainous system Of false
hood was never resorted to at all
election than that employed by the
Radical leaders at our polls on Mon :
day. The assertion that was industri-
ously circulated, that the Democratic
leaders by their action had presented
an issue between law and order and
its "antithesis," and which has been
reiterated since, is amendacious false
hood, known to be so by those who
utter it.

The election in this town on Monday
passed off very quietly, though a pret-

their voters. They succeeded in elect

THE General Statute. Of this State,
on pages 1880, contain a law re-
quiring all citizens Of this Common
wealth, who own real estate in another
county than that in which they reside.
in this State, to register the same, un-
der affidavit, with the Clerk Of the
County Court Of the county where
such realty is located, describing the
same.
There is heavy fos imposed upon
all who fail to comply with this law.
As the Statute is a new one, and gen
orally unknown to the people, Cover
nor Leslie very properly extended the
time for making such registry to June
lst, 1875, and has remitted alb fines
that have been imposed upon those
who unwittingly violated the provis-
ion. This act of the Governor will
prevent those greedy County Attor-
neys, who have sought to oppress the
people, from filching an unjust he
from their people.
We make the above announcement
for the benefit Of all concerned, and
advise them to make the proper regis
try without delay. The law applies
To executors, administrators, trustees,

The propositien that Gen. Grant
should resign the Presidential Office
and Q, 10 Europe is so universally ap-
proved in oil paris Of the country that
there is not the least doubt Of it, being
the most poPalar act Mr.. Grant could
do. There r, perhaps, no greater plea
sure to a journalist than to find him
self advocating a measure which is at
the same time right and popular. and
this, as much as the genuine satisfic-
tioa of feeling that We are doing a
great service. both to his Excellency
AMI to his beloved country, is our ex-
cuse for again recurring to this mat
ter. Indeed, the prospect ot ur.
Grants resignation is so pleasing to Us
it Is plainly 50 entirely the one thing
needed, not only to give him rest and
leisure for the improvement of his
mind and the lJngcoveted opportuni-
ty Of travel, hut also to give the coun-
try peace and property, to calm all
fears, to set the wheels OF industry 60
ing again. tn restore evil government,
and to settle finally the vsxatious and
Otherwise interminable third-term con-
troversy, that as patriotic citizens we
shah never tire Of considering in all
its aspects until His Excellency has
actually resigned and gone to Europe.

Grant, Sheridan 4 Co. He says that

and hundreds of the more decent and
intelligent black men Of the State, are
opposed to Kellogg, and believe that
he should not be permitted any longer
to govern free people who had no
voice in placing him in power. lie
SAYS, moreover, that in some Of the
parishes they have had no Courts for
over two years, as they were of the
opinion that the Kellogg government
was Illegal. and because they dreaded
the bayonets Of his soldiers, which, at
a moments warning. could be brought
to bear upon them. The mis-govern-
ment Of Louisiana is burning shame
to the nation. and is blot upon her
escutcheon which time can never ef-
face. We shall look f'r the report Of

yet, with the hope, though slight, that
a sense of shame, if not Of common
Justice and deceucy, will prompt them
