ELECTORS were held to-day iu Ohio, ludana
and West Virginia As the result OF them Will
foresbadow that of the presidential election
the interest in them is almost as great as that
which will be conferred upon the contest to DC
legally decided next month. AS the votes are
taken by ballot it is impossible at tbs time 10
even approximate the result. The expecta'
tons, however, are that West Virginia and To-
diana will go democratic, and Ohio,radical' but
as special telegram to this office from the
center of that State says that Bell, the demo-
cratic candidate for Secretary Of State, Is run-
ing ahead of the rest of the ticket, and that
the Germans as general thing are voting the
democratic ticket, hopes are entertained that
the democrats may be successful 10 all three OF
the States and thus secure the election OF Ill
den and Hendricks.

BALTIMORE asks the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to build railroad from Quantico, On
the Potomac, to Richmond, Va, or else to con-
troll the present one as that great corporation
now owns or controls the line OF railroads from
Baltimore to Quantico, from Richmond to Pc
tersburg, to Weldon, to Wilmington, N. c., to
Columbia, to Augusta, and t.. central Georges,
making the route complete excepting the link
between Qusntico and Richmond, which is now
controlled by the Baltimore Steam Packet Co.,
which completes for this freight, taking it over
their own railroad from Weldon 10 Norfolk
The avowed object of this request is TO bring
cotton to Baltimore; but it may be assumed tina:
if the link were built and the connection open
ed, the company would bring cotton through to
Philadelphia When the company asked per-
mission to build this missing link the Virgins
Legislature refused but now both the hichmoni
and Danyile Railroad and the city of Rich
mond are asking the Legislature TO grant the
charter on the ground that the other road will
not make the connections necessary to business.
and that the mails are delayed for hours Tor
want of the link. If this line be built We shall
have a through route from Philadelphia to GEN.
trail Georgia. and it will then be our own neglect
if we do not get the cotton trade Of that section
The subject is being agitsted in Baltimore by
the cotton merchants of that city, while no at.
tention is given to the Baltimore and Ohio T. T.
Go. in any such connection North Am.

Judge J. T. Mackey, of South Carolina.
though radical, cannot sit quietly and hear
Ills State traduced by Gov. Chamberlain, but
declares that that geutleman's late proclama
ton is a part of conspiracy to deprive citizens
of the rights guaranteed them by the second
amendment Of the constitution of the United
States In recent charge to grand jury on
his circuit he also characterized the order Of
Attorney General Taft 10 regard to The powers
of United States marsha,s and their deputies
as THE most formidable and audacious act of
political intimidation at present within the
knowledge of the court" and declared that
'the judge of court who would permit the
provisions of that order to be enforced in his
circuit would be false to his duty. He further
said that United States marshals and deputy
marshals on bis judicial circuit would not be
permitted to carry out the provisions OF the or
der of the Attorney General to the extent OF
disregardiDg the duly issued process Of the State
courts, and should they offer resistance to the
judicial AUTHORITY adequate force would be To-
voked to maintain that authority, aud the court
would assume the responsibility. Now, if
Judge Mackey, who is pronounced radical,
and has been SO ever since the war, cannot stand
the ou,rages of his own party, how cao it be
otherwise than that conservatives should protest
against the indienities and baretaced robberies
to which they are continually subjected l?

One of the most noticeable features OF the
Centennial Exposition. and yet one that we
have not seen mentioned in any Of the nnmer
Gus accounts of that magnificent exhibition
We have read, is the depressed, wearied, and
care-worp appearance of ninety-nine out OF
every hundred of the thousands Of visitors
Whether the few bright and happy faces seen
there are those of people who baVc just tor the
first time entered the gates, we doa't know,
but certain it is that mere unhappy looking
multitude of mortals we're never saw, outside of
a federal prison during the war, than are daily
congregated withio the buildings, on the mar
row gauge and elevated railroads, aud along
the walks, and scattered over the grounds Ct
the Centennial Exposition.

The anomalous condition of public affairs,
which i. one of the legacies left US by the late
war, is seen nowhere more clearly than IN the
amazing career which cau be run by any In
pudent negro, who chooses to undertake the
role Of statesman. He may be absolutely lllit'
crate: be may lack the sound, common sense
which mary colored men possess; he may, To-
deed, be nearly as bralnless as chatterlng apei
vet if he is endowed with voIubIe ton
que and abundance of impudence and self
assumptloo, he is, at least, for many years
of his life, far more powerful, and has
far better chance at the countrys honors than
the we'll informed, quiet and industrious color
ed citizen. This, however, is of tar less in-
por,ance and betokeos public danger much
less grave than the fact that in the Southern
States the impudent regro, in order to obtain
trusts of importance, need not be an honest
man. He may even be guilty OF Infamous
crimes and fugitive from justice; yet, it he
is voluble ard active, and ready at all times,
to rouse class prejudices by declaring that he
is prosecuted; aud trodden down because he is a
colored N an, he can, although a known rogue,
place himself alongside the first of the land,
and none dare to drive him of. A startling
example of such career has just been exh-
bited 10 this Deighborhood. A laxative color
ed man of little wit, but great pretenslon,
knavish and apt 10 little tricks, obtained from
a disgraced constituency seat 10 the Virginia
Legislature. Shortly afterwards, while the
Sergeant at Arms was paying OFT the members
of the Legislature, this negro, while at his seat
as representative, stole some twenty five dol
lars out Of the discussing officers book. His
crime was 5000 discovered, aud be was expell-
ed from the House of Delegates. He left
Richmond to escape criminal proseC utloo.
The crime and its results were published tar
and wide-kuown of all men. Yet the culprit
marched to the Capital of the United States,
took his seat at the bar of one of its leading
courts, and became, under its rule, the profess
sional peer of MIR. Bradley and Mr.. Davidge,
and of Mr.. Riddle and Mr. Merrick. 1t is not
too much to say that such thing would have
been impossible to white man in like clrcum-
stances. l, may point the moral to narrate,
that colored prisoner being on trial for
stealing watch and chain, this man de-
feud.d him before the court, and is now
himself on trial for sharing the robbery
and taking the stolen chain as his fee 1t was
once the protested object of the pseudo phil.
authropis's that essayed to try their hand 10
the reconstruction of the States of the South,
ito put the bottom rail on top Their sue
cess, 10 some instances, must have exceeded
their expectations.

The present Administration not only screens
protects and defends, from the just penalty
of outraged law, its own immediate compo'
nept parts, such as Beknap aud Babcock, but
makes the cause and the quarreIs OF even the
most corrupt of its outside supporters Its own,
and exerts its whole strength aud power to tolst
them into Influential positions, which they de-
base and disgrace. Mr.. Hoar, respectable
republican, has dared to accept a nomination
by the honest mcu of his party against Gen
B. f. Butler, aud for so doing all his ap
poiutees ~ government Offices have been sum
marily discharged, and orders issued that ht
must be "cut' by all good radicals, and be

1t was stated 10 yesterday Gazette that Gov

the poverty of the people to respond 10 an ap
