Dishonesty in Politics.

1t is sometimes said that "all is fair in pol
itics," but never was there a more false or
pernicous maxim uttered than this, suggest
ing. if acted upon, the greatest and most fla
gitious frauds to be committed in elections
for the purpose of selecting public officers,
as well as the foulest corruptons in the ad-
ministration ofpublic affairs.
No more fragrant instance of political dis.
honesty has been pcrpetrated in our State
than the effort made to defeat Roberts in the
second congressional district, and Walsh in
the sixth congressional district of this State,
by the use of fraudulent tickets purporting
to be Democratic, headed as such, with the
vignette of Jackson and Liberty, Hickory
Tree, Irish Harp, &c, (Which for nearly
half century has been used only by the
Dem ocratic party as a heading for its tick
etsl with Tilden and Hendrick g for President
and Vice President, and in the second con.
grcssional district, Harris, and in the sixth
congressional district, McComaS, for Con-
gress.
No doubt it was thought that with these
tickets to deceive those who might not be
able TO read, but who from their Democratic
heading would take and vote them, and with
the appeal made to sectarian prejudices, ow-
ing to the religion of the Democratic candi-
dates in these districts, that they certainly
would be defeated, but thanks to the incor.
ruptible Democracy Of the second congress
sional district, they have reelected Mr..
Roberts by most triumphant majority,
although he lost in Hartford about one hun
dred and fifty votes, chiefly through the use
OF the tickets above mentioned, and the
effect of the appeals to the prejudices of some
OF our people. Yet we have the proud sat
lstaction of knowing, as the record proves,
that our eyer-patriotic county possesses Il
clear majority of at least six hundred and
fifty Democrats, honest, true and always to
be relied upon, that no man, nor set of men,
can influence TO vote otherwise than in sup
port OF Democratic principles, and for men
who will truly and honestly carry them out.
In the sixth district, they very nearly sue
ceedcd in accomplishing their designs
There Walsh lost about four hundred votes,
through the expenditure by the Radicals of
large amount of money, the use of these DO.
gus tickets and from the fact of so large por-
ton OF the voting population being miners,
natives of Northern Europe, whose religious
preJudlces are very strong. and therefore
more easily operated upon. Still, even there,
with all their netarious arts our opponents
were ioiled, and in their defeat, all their
hopes OF making Il break in the ranks Of the
Democratic delegation from Maryland to
Congress, were entirely blasted.
In our effort TO expose all chcanery and
deception, our sole purpose was tc promote
those principles we believe 10 right, and that
we were successful the result has shown;
and it has also shown, that after all " Honesty
is The best of policy even in politics.

time OF his death the position of driver of Engine

through injuries received in the discharge of his
duty whilst driving TO fire on the night of the
30th of September. He leaves a wife and two
children in this city. lie the son of the late
Philip Amos, of Hartford county, and the neph-

Scott Amos, of the same place. MIR. Isaac Amos,
OF Bel Air is his cousin. His relatives here are
his brother FAC and John T. Amos, and his
cousin, Thomas Grupy, late of Baltimore.
Mr.. Amos came TO California in 1850, and it
will be gratifying to his large circle of relatives
in Hartford to know that during his long resi-
dence here he commanded the respect and friend
ship OF all who knew him. His kindness of
heart and genial disposition rendered him gen.
cral favorie. Although the nature of his ihiu-
rles were of the most painful character he bore

The War In Europe.

The tone OF the dispatches from Europe In
dictate that war is almost inevitable between
Russia and Turkey 1t has been fayorite
dream OF Russian Cars TO possess Constan.
t!noplc, and it has only been the determined
opposition of the great powers of Europe
that has prevented the consummalion of their
desires. The Serynns in their war against
the Turks, were actively encouraged and
aided by the Russians, and the latter, with
great religious zeal, demand certain conces.
sions from the Turks as guarantees that they
will no longer maltreat the Christians in their
dominions. The war, if it should break out,
will be q great and bloody one Turkish
fanaticism will be aroused 10 its utmost, in
defence of the Mahometan belief They have
been taught that TO die fighting for their
religion will ensure them certain admission
into the Mahome:an paradise. Under such
Indictment they will fight with desperation.
Then at the first aggressive movement on
the part of Russia an English army will oc.
cupy Constantinoplc, TO prevent 1t from fall
ing into the hands of the Russians, and as a
means of protecting British interests in the
East Other European powers may also be
drawn into the conflict, and the result may
be one of the most gigantic and bloody wars
that has occurred in Europe in modern
times.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
BOLD DEFIANCE OF LAW.
WADE HAMPTON COTNTED OUT.

On Tuesday, in accordance with an or
der of the Supreme Court the Returning
Board of South Carolina reported to the
court the votes actually cast for members
of the Legislature, but appended memo
randum that certain errors in the count
should be corrected and the returns from
Edgefield and Laurens counties, which
shonld large Democratic maiorities, should
be excluded.
On wednesday the Supreme Court issued
peremptory writ ofmandamus, requiring
the board to give certificates of election
to the persons who were shown by the re-
port of the board to have received the
highest number of votes, including the
counties of EdgcGeld and Laurens.
Before this writ could be served on the
board it met and issued certificates to all
members Of the Legislature, except those
elected from the two Democratic counties,
thus securing Republican majority in
the Legislature. This il it stands, defeats
Hampton for Governor, as the Legislature
passes upon the returns for that officer, and
elects Chamberlain, while of course such
Legislature would elect Republican
Senator of the United States The board
also issued certificates of election to the
Hayes and Wheeler electors and to all the
Republican candidates on the State ticket.
Having thus accomplished their work the
board adjourned sine die.
The members Of the board then separa-
ted and it is supposed have left for parts
unknown. This action Of the board natu-
rally created much excitement, but the
citizens are determined to rely upon the
courts, and exhaust all legal means of re-
dress Gen. Wade Hampton has issued an
address to the people Of South Carolina
counseling peace and forbearance, and as
surfing them that the action of the board
can have no force.
We do not imagine fol II moment that
such arbitrary and illegal proceeding can
stand. 1t is revolution, pure and simple.
The Constitution of the United States
guarantees to every State in the federal
union Republican form of government
and if any regard is left for that once
sacred instrument, the conspirators in
South Carolina will yet end their days be-
hind prison bars if they do not meet more
dire retributior.

WADE HAMPToN's RECENT ADDRESS,
To the People Of the State. In offering to our
people my heartfelt congratulations and
gratitude for the grand victory they have
won, venture to beg them to prove them
selves worthy of it by continued observ-
ance of good order and rigid preservation
of peace, Let us show that we seek only
the restoration of good government, the re-
turn of prosperity and the establishment of
harmony to the whole people of our State
In the hour of victory we should be mag
unanimous, and we should strive to forget the
animosities of the contest by recalling the
grand result of our success. Prescribing
none for difference of opinion, regarding
none as enemies seve such as are inimical
to law and order, let us all unite in the
patriotic work Of redeemng the State. By
such conduct we cannot only bring about
good feeling among all classes, but can most
surely reap the best fruits of victory.

Reported for the .BgiS Dc Intelligence,
The Teachers Institute.

The Teachers Association met again on
Thursday, the 10th inst, after the afternoon
session OF the Institute, and elected the follow
ing officers for the ensuing year: President
Prof X. w. Eubank. Vice Presidential. Finney
Galbreath. Executive Committee-1st Dis
trct-Mr. Little; Cd District-Miss Annie Nit.
chell; Sd District-Mss Annie Amber; 4th
District. Egbert Smith; 5th District-Wm.
Gibson; 9th District-Miss Annie Ofiey.
Alter the election of officers, the question
"What is the effect of the permanent reduction
of teachers salaries ?" was discussed.
Mr.: Frank Brown opened the discussion. He
was followed by Mr.. j. w. Carter in an able
speech, which your reporter regrets the County
Commissioners and the Watervale Farmers'
Club were not present to hear. 1t was Mr..
raising stock and improving their land than
about the affairs of the school teachers, Adj.
journed until ~ o'clock, P. NJ.
The Association was called to order at the
appointed hour. The first exercise was the
singing of q beautiful piece of music by several
of the young ladies and gentlemen, Miss Eckei
presiding at the organ. Then followed reading
by Frank Brown Miss Ida Eckel and Miss
Annie Ofley also read some well chosen seIec-
tions with rare elocutionary power and effect.
An essay on Work in Education was then
read by Prof jackson, Principal of the Havre
de Grace High School. In this essay he brought
out in very plain light, the superiority of our
schools and methods of teaching, as compared
with what they were in oldcn times. Altogeth.
er 1t was both profitable and entertaining to
the teachers.
The President then announced that the oues
tion which was before the Association In the
afternoon would be resumed.
The following resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, That committee of one from each
district be appointed to represent to the Coun-
ty Commissioners the evil the schools of the
county will suffer from permanent reduction
OF the salaries of the teachers
Prof Baird took the floor and urged the ap-
pointment of a committee of teachers to 90 be-
fore the County Commissioners, and show them
by statement of facts that 1t is impossible for
teachers to live on the small sum of $3.50
year, and ask them to appropriate more money
Tor the schools.
Mr.. Carter. The latter supposed that when the
people elect men TO fill positions they had the
