registered this year numbered 5,134 the
colored Is, 22444-a majority of S,11O. If
by intimidation and violence the
democrats could secure in each OF those
parishes majority an immense gain
would thus be achieved, if the board
should, upon a canvass. reject all, it
would be powerless to administer that
complete justice which would consist
only in declaring for the republicans
such majority ia each parish as but for
intimidation and violence would have
been cast for other candidates.
!. This is from the report Of the repub-
lean committee who visited New Or
leans.
The republican party will now try to
make the whole issue turn upon these
outrages and murders; and while they
concentrate public attention upon them
a pernicious financial system will cons
tinue to work out its legitimate results Of
suffering and bankruptcy.
The Independents can only fold their
arms and let events drift. The hand of
God may save us from that destruction to
which both the old political parties seam
determined to consign us.

contest would lie close. The absolute
necessity of maintaining Republican con-
troll of the nation was insisted upon.
There was no dissenting opinions on
that point. The means of accomplishing
that object in any event and at all haz-
ards. was then discussed. The following
was then announced, and from source
that would seem to give it authority, as
the programme agreed upon at Wash>
ington:
Upon the presumption that the states
of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana,
could be made to turn the scale, It was
stated that those states, which were in
the hands of Hayes officials who had con-
troll ofthe necessary machinery, wonld
be so manipulated as to count Hayes IN
if possible. If that could not be done,
then they were to be SO manipulated as
to prevent a choice, and thus thrust the
conflict upon Congress at the comlr
session When once fairly launched in
the halls of Congress, the fight could be
prolonged ad libitum. Mr.. Blaine's
tactics could be respected. All the thunder
so effectually used during the canvass
could be again brought into play, and
the people again wrought to the point
of sustaining any measures necessary to
accomplish the grand objective point
Old questions could be revived aud new
ones raised in any number and of any
character required. Violence could be
provoked, an emergency created, and
Grant declared to be the only man who
could meet it. He would thus hold
over under the pressure OF an apparent
overshadowing necessity.
Does not the news that reaches u:
from the South indicate that the pro,
gramme is being carried outo Whatever
the result, the above is plain statement

THE SECRET BALLOT.

New York Sun: .'Was it bull-dozlng
or what kind of doing was it, when the
operative of the North Adams, Mass.
manufacturers had put into their hands
HAYES and Rice votes with their names
written on the back for perfect ldentlfl>
cation?" ;,
Precisely. You might just as we'll
floc man into voting against his prIn-
ciples as starve him into it. And IN
some parts of the east the mill-owners
have it so fixed that their workmen
must vote to please them or go without
work. We need reformation OF the
whole system of balloting SO that 1t VIII
really be secret A friend suggests the
Italian system: the government iurn'
ishes stamped envelope to each reglst-
! cred voter in which he ehcloses MS
vote, In this way absolute secrecy Is
obtained and the man really votes as ne
wants to.
There should be some general legls'
lation by Congress that would be equally
efiicacious in Massachusetts and II
Louisiana, and that would render coer'
Zion and bull-dozing alike impossible.

thew labor for an idea. They have not
the faintest glimmer of hope to elect a
constable anywhere, but they are still de,
voted to their faith. None but Idiots Will
call them fools. If they are called in
sane the question will arise whether the
accusers or the accused are the mad
men. An.essayist once described no>
table fanatic, Geo. Francis Train, as
sublime mailman. or else the one sane
man in nation mad We cannot
legitimately question the motives, the
purpose, the patriotism of these people:
Their unselfshness is beyond question:
The beneihcence of their intent will non
be intelligently disputed. They are in
earnest. Men do not cut themselves
loose from party traces without concelv>
able hope of reward unless they are
possessed of convictions. They are be-
levers, to praiseworthy degree. IN ne
doctrine that one man with God on MT
side, is majority. We insist that the
Independents are not to be sneered at !;
if they are, the worse for the sneerers.

Under this heading The Farmers

The Grange is afailure. 1t has lost

organized within the past year. The

acknowledged to be a power in the land.

United States during 1879 there were
but 300; falling of OF three~fourths in
one year. And then it quotes from the
Kansas Farmer these words:
! The meeting Of the State Grange will
