A correspondent Of the St Louis Com
mercial, discussing the grave political
problems, growing out Of the recent elec-
ton, aud which threaten the peace OF
the nation, suggests the following
measures to ensure uniformity and pre-
vent fraud:
l. That the frs. Tuesday in November
be the general election day for al the
States as we'll as the general governs
ment.
2. That all business, except transpor-
tation, be suspended on that day and all
business men give this day to Il proper
conduct OF this business.
3. That the election precincts be d.
vided SO small that ii would be
practicable for the enrolling officer, the
Judges and inspectors. TO determine wh9
are legal voters in each precinct.
T. That the election board Mt each pre-
cinct should consist vi two seperate and
independent branches the receiving and
recording branch, and the cgunting and
returning branch.
5. These boards to occupy adjoining
rooms, with no communication except "a
small opening Tor the passage ofthe bal
| lot boxes to and fro.
| 6. Each branch shall be under The
guard of an officer and all sworn 10 hold
no intercourse with the outside world or

A Coincidence.

A gentleman of this city relates strange
circumstance that happened at his house
Monday evening, which many might con-
slider strongly supernatural. Some ten
months ago he purchased picture of Pro
fessor s. F. B. Morse, not knowing then
that he had any relatives. He framed it to
match one of Martha Washington and was
about to hang them, but finding he had not
enough cord, placed them on the mantel.
Days passed, and he continually forgot to
procure the cord, and the pictures re-
NAMED one each side of the clock. Monday
night there was no one in the room, all but
the servant. who was in the yard, having
gone upstairs. About half-pastl seven or
later q crash was heard there, and, on en-
tering, the portrait of Professor Morse was
found on the floor with the glass broken to
atoms, while the portrait Of Martha Wash
ington remained in it's place. No explana.
ton was satisfactory, and it only remained
to resolve to get more glass as well as cord.
Tuesday morning the gentleman read with
great surprise of the unfortunate death Of
Arthur B. Morse, and by comparing notes,
discovered it must have occurred about the
time of the falling of the picture.

A New Internal Revenue Bill.
The Ways and Means Committee have
completed an amendatory internal revenue
bill. There is no alteration in the taxes.
Its chief features are for the better enforce
ment of the present law. The Commits

States, with power to sell or lease with the
approval of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. The special taxes are modified.
Where liquor is received in payment of
debt and sold in one parcel no special
tax accrues. Individual cigar makers
need not register. The relanding of to-
bacco or its products, after shipment; SlSod is
punishable by fine not exceeding $4,000,
and imprisonment not exceeding three
years. Manufacturers of cigarettes are re-
quired to stamp parcels containing ten to

Financial Troubles Appreciated.
The Herald says: The great depression
in the Cleveland iron trade appears likely
to eliminate in disastrous financial COM
plications. Rumors have been circulated
on Change that the bill of q we'll known
firm has been sent back from the bank.
The firm, besides being one of the largest
in the industry, is also q gigantic financial
concern, and on its safety depends the ex-
istence of number of others.
A private meeting of the principal iron
masters of the district was held yesterday,
but it was rumored afterward that all pro-
ceedings were adjourned until Thursday.
1t is currently believed that it is intended,
if practicable, to convert the firm into q
stock company, and by that means meet
the exigencies Of the case; if that is done
the crisis will pass without general break
down.

"The Public Mans Monument Associa-
tion," is suggested as the title of mutual
company organized on insurance plans for
the purpose of building monuments to the
memory of deceased stockholders. Some
means must be devised to cause great men
to be remembered until long after the
hearse gets back from the cemetery. Had
George Washington belonged to such q
society he would long ago have had re
spectacle shaft over his remains, and the
Mount Vernon Association and its fund
would have been something more than q
means of support to the excellent old Vir-
ginia ladies who are now in charge of Wash
ington's remains.

Quarrel Postponed.

The Galveston Ne,cs grumbles because
Hon. E. John Ellis has moved to strike out
Galveston as the port of departure for q
Brazil steam postal service and insert New
Orleans. We do not propose to dispute the
point of comparative eligibility with an
unfortunate city on the sand spit. The
economy of the Democracy is such that
they will not vouchsafe dollar to any such
enterprise. They have taken away our
mint, refused to protect our planters from
overflow, denied US railroad, stove hole
in the protective tariff to admit foreign rice
and sugar. To expect that such Congress
will give steam line to either New Or
leans or Galveston is too absurd contin-
gency to justify quarrel in the present
state of the thermometer. Let us, then,
have peace, or quarrel about something
more profitable.

The Landlordss Ring.

Tho Landlords' Ring.
The insatiate property holders having
passed q vote of thanks to newspaper for
advising the remission of tax penalties, and
refused to do the same to the executive Off
Ger who issued the order, have made an
other movement forward, in the unanimous
adoption of the following resolution:
Resoloed, That we earnestly request the
central council to continue their exertions
on behalf of the distressed tax payers of
this city and State by again sending COM
mittee to wait on Governor Kellogg or the
the Lieutenant Governor, and represent to
him the great benefit that it will be to the
State treasury, as we'll as the great relief
that it will be to the delinquent tax pay
ers, if he will extend the benefits of the Or
der Of the eighth instant by authorizing
the tax collectors to remit the penalties on
the delinquent taxes without requiring the
tax payer to pay his current taxes at the
same time, as that may be an lmpossibility
to large numbers; and also that he will
recommend to the assistant attorney gen.
ersl, the district attorneys and tax collec-
tors to give up for the present their extra
commissions levied on delinquent taxes.
We also recommend the central council to
endeavOr to prevail on his excellency to
sign and promulgste the two acts passed
by the Legislature reducing the emolu-
ments of the sheriffs and clerks of courts.
A great many things have been done by
Governor Kellogg and others to propitiate
the highly respectable gentlemen who COM
pose this organization, but it has been
found that the more concessions that we're
made to them the more they demanded.
Meantime, the landlords keep their money
in their pockets, and their taxes are not
paid. Would it net be we'll to ascertain on
what terms they will 60 forward and settle
up their indebtedness to the State before
paying any more attention to their resolu-
tionsa Up to this time the advantage has
been all in their favor; their weekly legis-
ton is only had to keep off the sheriff and
the tax collector, while they hold out, as an
inducement to act with them, that they
alone are in possession of the secret how to
enjoy the benefits of government without
contributing to its support.

The disclaimer of Judge Steele put an
end to one suit in the controversy over the
Office of Assistant Attorney General, and
there remains only the injunction suit now

having been enjoined, and Judge Dibble
not acting, the Office is practically vacant
It is understood that this state of affairs
will be remedied by the appointment of
Judge Dibble by Acting Governor Antoine,

Reasons why Hayes Should Be

l. Rutherford B. Hayes is a tru'

l. Rutherford B. Hayes is true nan IN

3. His past record is without stain.

4. He was a brave soldier, and shed III
blood in defense of his country.
5. He has given his time and money for tho
good of the nation.
6. He has never betrayed a trus. nor .
friend.
Z. He has never wronged person out of a
dollar which was due him, or failed to keep
his promise to the humblest.
s. He has made a good Governor during
three terms, and has kept himself clear OF
all Jobs. His hands are as clean today 40
when he entered upon his duties as Governor
of Ohio.
g. He is iu favor of keeping faith with the
nations ediiors, and redeeming every pledge
made in time OF war or peace.
10. He is in favor of free schools and the
maintenance of the system free from all sec
tartan influences.
IL. He is earnestly in favor OF the highest
possible purity in the civil service, and would,
surround himself, If elected, with men of
recognized ability and integrity.
IL. His past record as a man, as an official,
as soldier, is the best proof OF his eminent
fitness for the high office of President.
IL. He belongs to the army of loyal men.

IA. His election would secure sound cur.
fcncy. protect and improve the public credit,
advance throughout the world the national
honor, and restore to the people prosperity In
| all the great centres of trade and commerce.
Is. Lastly. Rutherford B Hayes il . model
husband, father and friend, qualities which
honor the man, and would honor the highest
office within the gift of the people. -
Can any one doubt the superior fitness of
such man for the Presidencyl Can there
be possible risk in calling him to rule over
the Republic, Is he not just the man that 10
needed to shape the destinies of the next four
yearsa Study his character, examine HE
record, weigh him in all those qualities which
GO to make up the citizen and the Statesman,
and he will come out Of the examination tho
same noble man. With such leader the Re-
publican party must win; with such Prest.
dent the nation could not help advance In the
path Of material progress.
