TODAY is the one hundred and forty.
fourth. anniversary of the birth Of
GEORGE WASHINGTON. One hundred
and forty-four years ago to-day GEORGE
was of but small account to mankind,
although he had already made some little
noise in the world.
But how changed is all that world
since that babe was bornl And in that
changed condition Of the human race
that babe was called, through manhood's
power, to achieve the most conspicuous
part assigned to any one OF all the race.
Forever hallowed be the day that gave
GEORGE WASHINGTON to the Human
Racel @

One of the Assistant Csunrers.

The Milwaukee WISCONSIN, Sintinel of
Monday says: The selection of Hon. George
B. Smith, of this State, by the Democrats
to assist in counting the vote of Louisiana
is wholly admirable, and exhibits the or
gsniziDg abilities OF Governor Tllien in a
brilliant light. As a counting person Mr..
Smith has few equals in the country. In
1853 it was necessary to elect BarstOw as
Governor of Wisconsin. When the returns
came in it was found that Darstow didn't
have votes enough. Mr. Smith at once IL
stituted proceedings to find enough. The
wonder OF Mr.. Smiths achievement consists
in the discovery of thousands of qualified
voters at Bridge Creek. This place, Bridge
Geek. was supposed to DO a small village
haps 100 persons: 1t was regarded
with such Indifference that map
makers ignored it,. the citizens of Ear
Claire sneered at it. The election returns,
however, showed that Milwaukee was en-
titled to be called only the second city of
Wisconsin. The majority given to Barstow
by Bridge Creek amazed everybody and
indicated nothing less than a mammoth
city having powerful propensity to VOTE
The merchants OF New York looked at the
Bridge Creek returns and immediately Or
dered all their drumme7s to that populous
city to work up trade. Of the history of
Bridge Creek since the Supreme Court took
hold of those returns We know nothing. It
is possible thera are cities in the far-oE
parishes of Louisiana never dreamed of at
New Orleans. Bridge Creeks enough may
exist to overcome the estimates of Repub-
lcan maioritiss. We know of no one moro
capable of discovering such cities then
Mr.. Smith. In going to Louisiana the
Democrats expect much of him. and he las
a reputation as discoverer of unknown
voters to sustain. The eyes of Mr.. Tilden's
supporters everywhere are upon Mr.. Snaith.

Seize the Pool Money,

The commissioners of charities and cor
rection of the city of New York ought i'm
mediateiy to take measures to seize all the
money now in the hands of booksellers
There are probably at least s.. 500, 0sG lock-
ed up in the pool boxes of Morrieseys,
Johnson's and other gam bling houses, and
an examination of the laws shows that any
of the cust0dians of these funds car run
away to another State with their fands and
be exempt from legal prosecution. Indeed,
some lawyers declare that they may stay
in the city and appropriate all The funds to
their own use without any responsibility.
IT the clerks were to steal the funds the
pool purchasers would have no cause of
action. Gamblers have NO legal status ex-
cept the right to be punished. Moreover, it is
now understood that the booksellers. all of
whom are Democratic, will decline to recOg.
nize the election of Hayes, and even if he
is inaugurated will declare the bets "off, !"
and will return the money if any of it
should happen to be found BY that time. In
this state of things it is certainly the duty
of the commissioners of charities to s5ze
the money in the pools. The law entities
them to "apply for receiver to take pos
session" of money which has been bet or
risked in such gambling, and we trust there
will be no hesitation to make hay while
this sun shines. A hard winter is upon US.
The poor will be more numerous in The city
than perhaps ever before. and they will
need all they can get. The controversy
furnishes an excellent occasion to ''spoil
the Philistines" by Selling the fEads in the
hands of the men who do go much to null
tipiy paupers and increase suffering. The
sum of $500, 900 divided among our secu-
lar charities would be blessing to tens of
thousands.-New York GrapAsc.

A Few Plain Words.

We occasionally hear of an excitable
Democrat here in the North who mutters
threats of what may happen If matters do
not eventually go to his liking, and who
"feels in his heart that T,ldeR ia elected
1t would be we'll for the Democratic party
If such persons would for the present keep
silence. The country does not forget that
in 1860 similar threats we're made by Demo.
Gratis. and that in 1861 the greater part of
that party attempted in violent manner
to overturn the result of a fair election.
Nothing can be more damaging to the
Democratic party, or can more quickly
deprive it of all public sympathy
than the y.n threats Of TSs ans
try is not just now in q temper
to bear with such things. The election is
not vet lawfully decidec; it will not be until
the Returning Boards IN the disputed States
have done what the laws in those States
command them to do. 1t will take some
time to complete the investigations pre-
scribed by the laws; and what, in the
meantime, any one may ''feel in his heart
is not evidence and Is OF no importance.
Measures have been taken to see that the
Returning Boards conduct their investiga-
tons fairly. In New Orleans leading DEM
ocrats have invited leading Republicans to
q council for Joint action, which Is eminent
1y proper, and at this stage of the business
no one has right to say that foul play Will
be successful or even attempted
Moreover, if the laws and the men who
execute them are bad in euch States as
louisiana. we beg the Democrats down
there to modestly remember how they be-
came so. Ii they had accepted their defeat
in 1861 in good faith they would not be
where they are now. We do not counte-
nance Injustice, nor does the North desire
it. The rec, mt elections should show the
Southern whites how little the North sym
psthlzes with wrong-doing in the south and
against the South. Thousands OF lifelong
Republicans here have voted against their
party on this ,uthern question alone. we
warn the Southern whites that they Will De
sorry in the md for any course which shall
make these Republicans regret their votes.
The laws as they exist must be faithfully
executed and scrupulously obeyed until
they are lawfully changed. That is the
Sound and only rule in a free country.-Ne'o
Yore Herald.

A Fruit Dealers Troubles,

A staid-lOoking gentleman, apparently
stranger, stopped at an apple stand:
"What is the price of oranges?" he asked,
pointing to collection of large pears.
"Dees ees not de horange," said the po-
lite vendor. "Dees ees de California paire.
One for twenty-fi' cent"
You don't mean to tell me-" said the
stranger. putting his hand upon an apple,
"that this is pear"
"Pardo! No l say dees ees de paire.
Dees is de appel. Tree for &c ten cent"
swell, l must say" continued the
stranger, picking up a handful of chestnuts
and examining them critically, "that these
are the queerest apples ever saw"
"Oh, Mon Dieu! no! Dem ees de chesey-
nut, what grow in your own countree. You
roast theem en- de fire."
"Roast them in the fire! Well, upon my
word,' lingering bunch of bananas
curionsly; II don't see how such chestnuts
as these can be improved by roasting.
They seem to be soft CROUCH now. How
ever, am much obliged. I'll see you later
Good day." and the stranger passed up the
street.
"Gentlemen," said the fruit dealer, turn.

that had gathered, "dat man is one escape
