ADHERE TO THE VOTES.

ADHERE TO THE VOTES.
There is one conspicuous fact in the
present political situation that is max
ing profound impression on the public
mind, and is silently but surely clearing
away the mist before the eyes Of the
people. It is simply this-that in
Louisiana it is admitted that Gov. Til
den has clear majority of all the votes
cast of from $500 to 5000 votes
Now the American people have respect
that reaches to reverence for the verdict
of the ballot. Once made. il is always
acquiesced in. To be sure, each party
recognizes the fact that there are few
elections that are not tainted by fraud
on both sides, but they also see that
these frauds usually balance themselves;
that they are BOT large enough to alter
the result, and that they are usually
committed by men who are candidates
for minor Offices, and are seldom coun-
tenanced by the men who are at the
head of either organization. So it is in
Louisiana. It may be that some Dem
ocrats may have committed frauds or
been guilty Of intimidation. though
there is no proof Of it. but it must be
evident that this could not possibly
have given Tilden this immense major
ity, for it is an immense majority on so
small vote. But, when Returning
Board assumes to throw ont part Of one
parish and take the rest, it is evident
Middletown transcript., 1876-12-02

that the whole principle of elections is
destroyed There might as we'll be no
election at oil. The census reports
would furnish the relative proportions
of the white and black populations, and
no ballots whatever need be cast. The
elections in Louisiana have actually
been decided in just this way. Imagine
this principle applied to evary State in
the Union 1t would result in anarchy
and civil war. There is not Northern
State whose vote might not be reversed
in just this way. Once cut loose from
the sheet anchor Of the votes actually
cast, and there is no knowing where
you may drift. The proper way to pre-
serve the purity of the ballot is to pre-
vent fraudulent ballots from being cast.
Then there need be no question as to
the result. But to undertake to reUsse
the popular verdict. is simply to put an
end at one blow to popular government.
Why did not Gov. Kellogg prevent the
frauds and intimidation which he alleges
to have taken place in Indiana.

TIE ATTORNEY.GENERALsHIP.
Editors of the Register:

Editors Of the Register:
Last evening at an informal meeting
of some dozen or more OF our truest and
most uncompromising Democrats, the
subject of our State nominations very
naturally come up in conversation. The
Gove.norship was suggested by one OF
the party, which was promptly met by
the reply of another one of the party,
"What care we for Governor, we have
no one in this part of the State who
wants it, and if there was he could not
get it?" And so the suggestions con-
tinued with similar replies regarding all
the State offices until the office
of Acknowledgement was suggested,
when the remark was made; 1--WE have
a man amongst US iwho is in every re.
spect we'll qualified and competent TO fill
that Office, and who would probably take
it if rendered to him" The name of the
party was asked. The reply was, "the
Hon. Z. G.. Cracraft" The suggestion
took in a moment, and without dissent
ing voice everv one present, without any
suggestion from Mr.. Cracraft or his
friends, or even knowledge on his part,
declared they would use every honorable
means that lay in their power to secure
him the nomination, and the
craftsman of this notice was
requested to give this public expression
of their determination and put him In
nomination before the people.
1t is unnecessary for me to. speak OF
Mr.. Cracraft's claims upon the people
for this nomination, nor as to his ability
to fill the office if elected. For two ses-
sions of the Legislature Mr.. Cracraft rep
resented Ohio county at the Capital dur
ing his last session his eminent fitness
was so properly recognized and appreci-
ated by his associate members
as to secure his election and ele-
walton to the prominent and responsible
position of Speaker of the House OF Dele
gates. Mr.. Cracrafts friends desired to
honor HIM with a third election, but this
he positively declined, declaring his in
tention to accept no office that was not
in direct accord with his profession.
He was then taken up by his party
and elected to the more responsible posi-
ton of prosecuting attorney OF Ohio
county. In that position he has borne
the same relation to the county that the
Office of attorney general does to the
State, and has not only sustained him
SELF but has more perfectly qualified
himself for the office for which he is now
proposed.
These were few of the views express
sed by Mr.. Cracraf.'s friends at last
nights meeting, when they determined
upon urging his claims for the Attorney
Generslship.

of considerable width. On each side of
the valley the lsnd'is slightly elevated,

We have not had much snow this

Times are hard and money is scarce.
Notwithstanding the hard times, we

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

u BREAD PUDDIxa.-I would like to
mske suggestion, which think is an
Improvement on Daisy Eyebright's reci-
pc for bread pudding in the last Country
Gentleman. It is simply to steam the
crusts and hard pieces Of bread before
breaking up to put into the milk. This
softens it without using SO much milk.
If You wish to make your pudding very
nice, spread ounce or currant jelly over
the top after it is taken from the oven.
Save the whites of two eggs, beat them to
q frosh, add little sugar and spread
over the jelly. Brown il in the oven q
few moments.
SALT RHEUM-The following is q
remedy for salt rheum and other forms of
scrofula: Procure the stocks Of elder
and remove the outer bark; just under
this the "green of eldor" lies, which
must be scraped off. To teacupful of
this add teacupful of sweet cream, and
simmer gently over slow fire, stirring
occasionally. When done, the cream
will have changed to an oil, which press
out from the elder and use as an oint-
ment. j. Il. ID.
HARD SoAP.-Take 6 pounds of sal.
soda, 8 pounds of Rhode Island lime and
5 gals Of soft water. Let them come to
boil; settle over night; then drain off
the water; add z pounds of grease; boil
until it looks soapy. When cool, cut in
cakes and lay away to dry. 1t is very
nice for washing hands or white clothes.
M.E.P.
Sal. soda and lard, 6 lbs. each;
stone lime, 8 lbs; soft water gals. Dis
solve the lime and soda in the water by
boiling, stirring it frequently; let it set
tie; then pour of; return it to the kettle
brass or copper; add the lard, and boil
until it hardens readily when poured in a
dish. 81 Il.
CRACKED WHEAT PoRRIDGs.-Sift
the fine -four all out OF it; then add sufi-
cient water to the wheat to cook it in.
Stir It to cause the bran to rise to the sur
face; pour off the bran into sieve,
saving all the water, and return this to
the wheat. Continue to wash until all
the bran is removed. Separate the wheat
from the water, and bring the water to
boil, continuing to stir occasionally; then
add the wheat and stir constantly until
it comes to a boil. Then set it on the
stove and cover and let it boil very slow
for an hour. Now stir in the -four, and
salt to taste. 1t is good hot or cold, in
milk or with sweetened cream.
