Ifthe decrepit old couple had come in
to leave their measures for their coffins
| it would not have seemed so strange; but
they were there instead to be married.
The old man counted his years by scores
and ran them Hp to four score and FIVE,
while the old woman beside him was
scarce ten years his junior, The bride
groom bore himself with dignity; tn,
bride in quiet modesty leaned upon his
arm. Ills old black head was bald to the
centre, and around the shining ebony a
fringe of snowy wool clustered. Under
the heavy chin another fringe of white
stood guard over his tall collar. He.stood
erect aud grave. 1t was picture Of the
old regime. t-t.s
esquire we is here ter be married,
sah," he said.
"Your names?"
"They's OH this yer" pulling license
from his pocket. "Es yer will see, sab,

Esquire Egnew tied the old hands fast

The vote for the wOrkingmen'S ticket in
baltimore was lighter than was anticipated.
The total vote of the city was u Gsl. Of which
Colonel Kane. the democratic candidate for
mayor. received 53.isS; Joseph Thompson,
The workingmen's candidate, II 800, and
Henry NJ. Wargield, independent, $50. The
charge Is made by the workiHgmen that they
were "counfed out in the election, and the
assertion is made that the figures in the GER
tilted returns represent a vote one-third
larger than was actually cast. This would
hot, however account for the fact that Mr..
ThOmpson's vote was so small, not only rel
atively, but absolutely, unless il is claimed
that his ballots were thrown out of the boxes
AT the last Presidential election 5i,25. vote
were pOlled in baltimore. 8, 100 by the demo
Gratis, and - ,o5s by the republicans. In the
municipal election in ISIS, when the cOntes
was between Gen. LstrObe and Mr.. Wardeld
(ihe present independent candidate,) the to
tai vote of the city was 81, sOs, and Mr.. La
trCbe's majority was 2.165. II Will be seen
therefore. that Mr.. IhompsOn's vote fall
much below the opposition vote AT these two
last elections. The deduction from the result
yesterday would seem to be that the work
ingmen. as n body, diStrust the policy of
seeking TO redress their grievances by a class
organization outside OF the Old parties. 1t is
stated in this connection that many cOlOTed
men voted thedemOcratic ticket In Baltimore
yesterday, and also that a considerable
SpIinEllng Of republicans voted the same
way, in apprehension OF something like
Communist trouble should the working
mems ticket succeed.

the creation and regulation of the proposed

The resUl: OF TIE election in Ohio las 50 in
spired the Massachusetts democracy that
they are bTimful of hopeful ante ltions o.
victory in the impending contest at the polls
in their own state. They base their expecia-
tons on the apathy with which IL is claimed
the republican canvass is conducted, and on
the secession from the republican party, due
10 the prohibitiOnist opposition 10 Governor
Rice They expect also to be helped by the
disafectiOn resulting from the civil service
order, and by the offence which Governor
Rice has given TO a section OF the state by his
veto OF railroad legislation. Therepublicans,
on the other hand. claim that their organiza-
tion is superior TO that of their opponents
that less apathy prevails among them than
among the democrats, and that their loss by
the prohibition ticket, amounting only TO
few thousands, viii not materially affect the
result. The civil service order, they think,
VIII pierely have the effect of substituting
Gamers Tor Office-hOlders in the control of
the caucuses and nominating conventions;
IL will have little or no influence on the real
work of the party in carrying the election.
ii seems doubtful whether the democrats
even with all the eclot of the Ohio election
and the detection of the prohibition vote,
will be able TO entirely overcome last years
heavy republican majority OF 81 600; unless,
indeed, many thousands of republicans fol-
low the example of their Ohio brethren and
stay al home on election day.

The full official vote of Ohio for governor
SHOWS that the total for West is PAS i5; for
Bishop, "a ,G25, a plurality OF % $50. The to-
tai vote cast in the state is 52i sol; an aggre-
gate of 81 30 votes being divided between the
prohibition, communist, and labor green
back candidates. In 1876 the total was
ESQ al. The falling OFF from last years vote
Is as follows: democratic, 81 ,55s; republican,
S1,s5S. an excess Of republican loss amount
ing TO several thousand more than Bishops
majority. In the vote for lieutenant gov
ernor, NOgele', who was expected TO catch
the German vote, ran 6,Gls behind West
while West ran behind johnson, the repub-
lican candidate for judge of the supreme
court, sol. The republicans suffered more
loss than the democrats from the labor and
greenback movements, but their defeat
would appear u be manly due 10 the fact
that nearly one-fOurth Of their full vote was
wanting ST the polls.

AS regards Senator MortOn's condition, it
is stated in an indianapolis dispatch that in
many respects his case is more hopeful than
at any time since his return from the Pacific
coast, but the dangerous symptom is the pres

away OF the body, Occasioned by his ina
bility to assimilate food. Extraordinary
measures to nourish the patient have been
adopted with rather encourag ing results
His condition, however, is cOnceiedly pre-

National Republican., 1877-12-15
Patterson and Davis.

The Chicago Tribune is much excited over
the action of Senator PATTERSON, of South
Carolina, and Senator DAVIS, who repre-
sents Illinois, ON the admission Of Senator
BUTLER, of Hamburg notoriety, to seat in
the United States Senate. It mildly re-
marks:
PATTERSON has saved himself from the pen.
itentiary, and his joy over It Is a confession Of
his perfdy to his party. He has kept his seat
in the Senate, to which he was elected by
bribery, for which he was indicted with sufh-
cient evidence on that score 10 have sent him
to the penitentiary. To keep himself In the
Senate and out of the penitentiary he gave the
casting vote to fill vacant seat in the Senate
with man who was not elected to IL, and that
man principally notorious as the hero of the
Hamburg massacre, and kept out the man who
was legally elected. Knowing that Senator
DAVID DAVIS, notwithstanding his strong
Democratic bias, would not vote for BUTLER
upon the law of the case and the facts before
him, he left his party and voted for BUTLER,
whereas, had he not been afraid Of the peni-
tentiary, he would have voted for CoRBIN,
who was elected. By his perfdy, therefore,
tho Democrats have gained two accessions to
their power in the Senate-a man who sold his
vote and himself to escape the States prison,
and a man who was not elected to his seat. In
other words, man who was never elected Is
given his seat by n penitentiary candidate, and
over this compounding of felony and double
rascality Renegade PATTERSON and his fellow
Democrats are rejoicing.

gigantic sweeper should disappear nom its
streets and the labor it performs should Be
diffused among the thousands who are now
eating the scanty crumbs of idleness from
dire necessity. The charity Of labor
never humiliates, while that of street mendi-
cancy or Of humanitarian institutions
breaks the spirit and crushes out manhood.

put bread in their mouths without sub
jecting them to processes and practices that
involve sacrifice Of self respect
This is fruitful theme for reflection on
the part ofsthe tax-payerlthe humanitarian
the clergy, the laity, the man of business, Of
wealth and luxury, and, for that matter, for
every man of intellect and heart who lives
in this city, surrounded by want and mis-.
cry, under but ono need-that of employ
ment and its rewards.
