tFrom the Albany Argus,l
HPrOyided.',

1t was cute down-East deacon. He was
asked if he believed with the Universalists that
all men shall finally be saved. He thought a
moment and then replied: ''Yes, 1 rather guess
do; at least Pm for the salvation of all men
prouided, you'll let me pick the men.
The position occupied by the Democracy at
the present juncture of political affairs is won
derfully suggestive of this deacon. Ask it if il
believes that the Presidential election should
turn on an honest count of the honest ballots
and it replies. in substance: .'Y-e-s, rather
guess do, provided that you'll let me name
the man; Fun for having the electoral college
determine the result-that is, in case the ma
jority of them are for Tilden.'
The deacon's religious views as above set
forth, induced his neighbors to classify him as
a limited Universalist. Similarly, current De-
mocracy might well be styled limited Republi-
canism. The Republican party demands that
there shall be fair play in the disputed states,
and rests the case OF Hayes right there. But
the Democratic party demands fair play-pro-
yided.

THERE seems to be no opportunity, even
were there desire, for the Louisiana return
ing board to do wrong. Five representa-
tives of each political party will be present at
all the meetings of the board and witness the
proceedings. Besides this, counsel for Dem.
ocratic candidates will be allowed access to
all official returns and to copy them for COM
parison with the reports forwarded by Demo-
cratic supervisors, and will be heard when
any question arises in regard to receiving or
rejecting the vote OF any election precinct.
All of the proceedings of the board thus far
have been such as to reassure every one who
is disposed to treat the board fairly, aud who
has not fastened to condemn it in advance
before single meeting was held. The rec
ord of the board is not as good as it might
have been, but it should be remembered that
when on former occasions the returning
boards in Louisiana have disregarded the
law and have been guilty Of acts which hon.
est Republicans in the North could not stls.
tain, they did not do it in the eyes of the
whole nation, or even of the state, but in Sc
cret session, and when they did not expect to
be held to strict account for everything they
did. Now, with the evidence in each case
upon which they act published to the country
for it to pass judgment upon, it will hardly be
possible that their conclusions can be of such
character as public sentiment cannot sus-
tain.

The Vermont law, just passed, seems TO
hit the case of the postmaster elector. if any
legislation can, for it provides that ''if there
shall be any vacancy in the office of an elector
for President or Vice President of the United
States at the time provided by law for the
meeting and action of the electors, occasioned
by death, refusal to act, neglect to attend, or
in any other manner or from any cause, the
other electors present shall Immediately fill,
by uioa coce and plurality of votes, such va
cancy in the Electoral College," The post
master has resigned his postmastership, and
now it he neglects to attend the electoral
meeting, if there should still be any doubt re-
specting his eligibility as an elector, his va
cancy would be Immediately filled by the
rest of the electors.

The amount of timber used in the
mines, says the Virginia Enterprise,
has been frequently alluded to and is
almost beyond rational conception.
Passing by the Consolidated Virginia
works one frequently sees what would
appear to an ordinary person enough
OF square timbers on hand to last at
least a uionth. In three days another
supply is needed. The regular de-
mand of the bonanza mines alone Is
Zoo, 900 feet a month. This demand
will be increased ia a short time,
when the new mill shall add 800 tons
per day to the amount Of ore taken out
for reduction.
Standing beside the G. and c. shaft
yesterday, says the Virginia Eate,-
prise, Of last Sunday, while the ore
was coming up, the reporter, out Of
curiosity, timed a cage containing Two
car. loads. From the time the signal
to hoist was given till the cage clicked
at the surface it was just thirty-siX sec
onds. The distance is | 800 feet. This
beats the time Of Goldsmith Maid, Iu-
IN. Smuegler or any Of the other fast
animals on the track, being at the rate
of a mile in a small fraction over two
minutes. This was no test case, just
ordinary business.
Says the Carson appeal, Of Satur-
Gay: The Carson Valley NelgS, which

Blossom. The amount of the failure
reaches $50, 600, so the NelcS says. Tho
loss is hard upon farmers and others
in Carson Valley.

a STILL rgUNT.

The Democrats in this State appear
10 be making a still hunt. Not q cam
paign document, not q speaker nor
even a poster proclaiming the State
ticket, has yet appeared in Eastern Ne
vada. This may be good campaign
policy, but we seriously doubt it.
There never was a better chance to
win than now. We have a splendid
State ticket, and all that is wanted to
insure success is a little life and vigor.
Our local candidates and politicians
are active and earnest, but the head OF
the party in the State seems wanting
in zeal and effectiveness. Election
day is drawing near to hand, and if
anything is to be done it is high time
the ball was placed in motion. A mas
terly inactivity is not the policy for the
present crisis. We want untiring, &C
tive work. Success in Nevada de-
ponds more on personal effort than
anything else. If the Democratic
party entertain any serious notion Of
carrying the State, it is time its nomi.
nees were in thu field contesting every
inch of the ground.

1t is rumored that letters have been

sort was necessary to relieve Conk-

the October elections several Northern

of New Orleans, is in this city and pre-
diets confidently that the Democrats
will carry the entire State and Con-
eressional ticket, but Collector Casey
is hopeful that the electoral vote Nil
be for Hayes, and thinks this certain
if peace is maintained in three or four
parishes. There seems to be tounda-

more respectable Democratic element
