MORE BLOOD. The effort was
made last week to assassinate Gov.
Packard of Louisiana in his office at
New Orleans. The plot was enter
ed into by gang of some three or
four individuals, but one of the gang
bad the courage to attempt its exc
cution. The fellow-Weldon by
name-who had lived in the city of
Cincinnati, filling the place of clerk
in one of the mercantile establish
ments there, passed into the Office
where the Governor was engaged in
conversation with friend, drew his
revolver and aimed at his breast.
The Gov. knocked down the hand
of the assassin, and received the ball
in the feshy part of the knee. He
knocked the fellow down, and
though one or two shots were dis
charged at him with some effect, he
is indebted to Gov. Packard for
saving his life. His reason was
patriotism. The Democratic party
is gathering up fearful record to
face, in the way of ASSASSINATION and
murder of Presidents, Cabinets,
Governors and southern Republicans
generally. Their papers are now
again-over the decisions of the
Commission-breathing out threat
enings and slaughter, and preparing
the public mind for further additions
to this catalogue of blood.

The testimony of Eph. Holland,
relative, to the Democratic frauds
in the October election in Cincinna-
ii, is to the effect that he received
money indirectly from New York to
be used to secure illegal votes for
the Democratic ticket; that over 500
such votes were cast; that he had
interviews with prominent Demo
cratic candidates about the work for
which he was employed; that the
securing of illegal votes was to him
a mere matter of business; that be
engaged gangs of repeaters from
abroad to do the dirty work; and
that he received about $1,000 from
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee, and was promised more by in
dividual politicians, who failed to
give him the money These frauds
will account In some measure Tor the
the disappointment felt by Republi-
cans over the unaccountable light
ness of their majority in the State.
Their discovery however, will be
likely to afford some relief on this
point, and result in securing the seat
of Stanley Matthews in the House
who was, by the count, beaten by
Eph. Holland, by seventy.fve votes.
Our friends in Cincinnati have
been on the trail of the fraudulent
voters, and several of them have
found safe and secure place be-
hind the crates.

THE FUNERAL OF o'MAHoNEY.

THE FUNERAL OF o'MAHoNEY.
Men go out of sight very soon.
Twelve years ago, Col. John O'Ma-
honey filed the newspapers, which
is the modern trump of fame, and
his name was on the lips of men.
He had been a patriot in Ireland,
had bearded the British Lion in his
den, had emigrated to this country.
and organized the Fenian movement,
and was its acknowledged head. He
had gorgeous quarters, "staff,
and all the ribs of great warlike
enterprise. He had everything, in
fact, necessary to conquer the lnde-
pendence of Ireland, except men
and arms, and some other trihes.
But they had a good time of it.
While the servant girls and labor
ers contributed, and when the regu-
lar Irish quarrel came, O'Mahoney
subsidized. AS he was an honest
man who actually believed in the
possibility of military operations
against England, he went out poor
and he has lived in poverty and OBJ,
security ever since. His death last
week was the first that had been
heard of him for some time. The
Irish gave the dead "hero," an i'm
meuse funeral. All the societies
turned out in regalia, and every
Irishman in the city got out his
plug hat from the box where it had
rested since last St. Patrick's day,
and the city was alive with them.
His body is to be taken to Ireland
for interment. And speaking of the
Irish, would anybody suppose that
human oredulity could go so far as
to contribute money for another
RAID UPON CANADA.
O'Donovan Rossa, who was an
Irish ''Hero, - is also receiving con-
tributions of any sums that servant
girls and supplemented laborers
choose to give, to form ''Skirmish-
ing Fund" He proposes to organize
a regiment of skirmishers to annoy
the rear of the British Lion in Cana
da, while the other "heroes" attack
him in front on the old sod. All
this to occur as soon as Europe gets
into a general war, which will take
the attention of England. The
average lrishman is a queer institu-
tlon. The race in America may be
properly divided up into dupes and
dupers. The moment a speck of
war appears upon any horizon, the
"leaders" Immediately issue a pro-
clamation, announcing that "Ire-
lands opportunity" is at last here,
and that all that is needed to secure
Irish independence is-money. Any
sum will be received, and from any

Lent is on us, and fashionable
New York mortifes the flesh for
forty days. During that time the
fashionable woman is expected to
get down into the valley and shadow
of humility, and this she does by
eating no meat, and abstaining from
worldliness altogether. This is ac-
cOmplished by dropping all high
colors in dress, by resolutely refus-
ing to dance, and letting parties
severely alone. They humiliate
themselves in dark velvets at S15 a
yard, and black lace to match, and
in that humble garb-dark-colored,
mind you-dance in the afternoons.
In eating they distinguish themselves.
The good natured bishop generally
gives all who can tell a white lie
dispensation to eat meat, but those
too conscientious to ask it manage
to drag out hungry and mortify-
ing existence on soups, fish, eggs,
and thousand other preparations.
Potted and spiced meats not com
ing inside the restriction, they man
age very. well. Nursing mothers
are allowed meat, to give them
strength, and so every mother whose
child is nourished by a wet nurse
escapes the prohibition, and indul-
ges in steaks and roasts as usual
She probably eats meat to give the
nurse strength. Lent is a good
thing for the fashionable woman.
After a seasons hard dancing and
theatregoing it is well to have for
ty days of quiet, in which to medi-
tate on her sins, and decide what
she shall get for her Spring clothes,
and see that they are properly made
up. Then there are the art CALLER
les to go to, and the shops, with
quiet card parties in the evening.
The services in the swell churches
make very good substitute for the
opera, especially as only opera sing
ers are employed in the choirs.
Fashionable religion is a very salts
factory thing. The yoke is made
very easy.
LABOR.
There are fifty thousand men in
the City of New York out of work,
with every prospect of remaining so
till Spring opens. There was but
little building last summer, there
has been none doing this winter,
and in all the mechanical pursuits
stagnatien has been the rule. Every.
body wears their boots and clothes
a month or two longer than they
did, and nobody buys anything in
the way of furniture or furnishing
who can possibly avoid it, and con-
sequently heavy per cent of those
formerly employed in these pursuits
are sitting still, and many of them
starving. You can get men by the
hundred for 80 cents a day, and
strong men are willing to take office
boys places at s. a week. The
wages that are paid are fearfully
small. A car-driver, exposed to rain
and frost, standing on his feet from
five in the morning till ten or eleven
at night, gets sl.sO day. 'Tt's
hard times" said one to me; shut

A REGIsTRY.-Unless the Legis-
lature takes steps to guard the Puri-
ty of the ballot boxes, the days of
honest election have passed The
evidence is before us, says the Gin
cipnati Gazette, that the election In
this county last October was carried
by fraud. Eph Holland cast or
caused to be cast five or six hundred
fraudulent votes. His price was S5,-
900. Frauds were also committed
by other paid repeaters, amounting
altogether to 1000. These fraudulent
votes gave a majority to every Dem
ocrat elected at that time. Three
are now Judges, on the bench ad-
ministering the laws, who were elect
ed by fraud, and they know it; and
yet they do not propose to resign.
The Sheriff and Clerk were also
elected by fraud, and they stick.
The two Congressman were elected
in the same way, and they do not
propose to step aside. 1t is true,
Jim White, Eph. Holland, and
others are on the way to the peni-
tentiary, but unless measures are
taken to prevent frauds, and to pun
ish fraudulent voters when detected.
the Whites and Hollands will come
back re-enforced, and frauds will in
crease with every election until peo-
pie viii cease to respect the result of
the popular vote. The Legislature
should take this matter in hand
promptly, handle it intelligently,
and before it adjourns, enact strin-
gent registry law and general cleo
tion law, modelled after that now
upon the national statute book.

College. The two members-Brew-

vacancies which were caused by their
absence from the College, which re-
moved their ineligibility. Such was
the case exactly with Watts in Ore
gon. This, therefore, seems to be
the end of the law, and the conclu-
sion seems to be inevitable, that the
"barrel of money" and the brains
and rascality of all the old Tweed
ringsters, have run to waste and

The count of electoral votes W ent
along very quietly and rapidly on
Wednesday, 2Tst, through six more
states, until Oregon was reached
and went to the commission at noon.
Arguments were heard, and the de-
cision was expected this Friday
morning. The decision will not, it
is known, be by strict party lines,
as one, at least, of the Democratic
commissioners has expressed himself
plainly upon the facts of the case,
whatever may be mis- opinion of the
law. No offers to take testimony
have been made by the Democrats.
1t would seem that the thing was
bold enough without rehearsing or
rehashing of the cauldron of rascali-
ty. Randall, Field, Knott, SPRING
& Co., are trying to Organizefa bolt,
but the feeling with many of the
other Democrats, is much better and

is shown.

TROUBLE IN THE BENEVOLENT soCIE-
TIES.
1t is too bad that one can't give q
dollar with any certainty that it will
reach the people intended to be bene-
fitted. The benevolent societies of
the city are undergoing examination,
a1d a vast amount of rottenness has
been developed. One institution
for sheltering distressed women was
found to be a purely private specu-
lation of two enterprising young
men, and had no shelter or anything
else, and who were collecting a
great deal of money from the chari-
table. They had the sublime impu-
denee to appeal to the authorities
for share of the State approplia-
ton, and were caught. Other insti-
tutions were found to be organiza-
tions for the support of parcel of
dead beats. The officers, and there
are an immense number of them,
were all under heavy pay. The col
leetors were paid heavy percentage
upon their collectionsa heavy rents
were paid upon which "divVies"
were doubtless allowed, and alto
gether, it was as rotten as Tammany,
and l can't say more than that.
Don't suppose all the societies are of
this class-there are deserving ones,
but large percentage of them are
proper subjects for close watching.
POLITICAL.
The Democracy are in the dumps.
They give up all hope of sliding Til
den in by the Electoral Commission,
and are arranging for their new
campaign. Their only hope now is
in an appeal to the courts, which
Tilden has determined to make, ap-
parently forgetting that five mem
bers of the court will have declared
their ideas of the law in the case
while they are on the Commission.
This fight is for purpose. Even if
Tllden is defeated they have hopes
that President Hayes can be bull
dozed into being very liberal in the
giving of places, for the sake of con-
ciliating them, and healing their
bruises. The action of the Com
mission meets with approval from
the business men of the city, ire
spective of party affiliations, and the
attempt of the hot-heads to go back
of its decisions and prolong the con-
test, finds no backing. The point
now is to have the agony over, and
the question settled, and there will
be acquiescence in it, no matter
which way it goes.
