The country wants the assurance not
Simply that there shall be an honest count of
the returns, but that the returns shall them
selves be honest and based upon an honest
vote. An honest count of false land fraudu-
lent returns secures no fairness. If the foun-
tain is tainted the whole stream is corrupt.

IT seems that the men of the British Arc
tic expedition were literally "turned out to
grass" They CHANGED to find that the Arc.
tic sorrel grass, which springs up under the
snow, was an anti scorbutic, specific of
which they were much in need. So when.
ever opportunity offered they turned out to
grub the "scurvy-grass." The effect was ex-
Gallant

MR. Richard A. Proctor has very interest
| ing letter in the London Echo on the results
OF the Arctic expedition. He says that Capt.
Halls PRESIDENTS Land" has shared the
fate OF the continent discovered in the Antar-
tic regions by. Capt. Wilkes, over which Capt.
Ross sailed in 1S43. 'It must not be sup
posed" he adds, that Capt. Hall, or Capt.
Wilkes either, had invented land in these re-
glons. In the Arctic regions the vision is
easily deceived. The contours of coast sup
posed to have been seen by Hall, and the ice
bound cliffs supposed to have been seen by
Wilkes, may either have been clouds or real
signs of land, but of land at much greater dis
tance than was supposed. For atmospheric re-
fraction acts so peculiarly sometimes in these
seas as to bring into view objects lying in real
ity far beyond the ordinary horizon distance.
Scoresby recognized his fathers ship at the
distance of more than thirty miles, when un-
der ordinary conditions its maintruck would
have been below the horizon. The image of
the ship was inverted, it is true; but inverted
images of distant coast-line would not be
easily distinguishable from erect images.
They would be dscernible just above the sea-
horizon at distances exceeding one hundred
miles, under favorable atmospheric condi-
tions."
