A Scene i'm a Railroad Car.

The following laughable incident
told by a well known Government of.
fee holder who has nothing else to do
but ride on the cars, and as he rides
free has numerous tales to tell of his
observations and experience:
"There were two seats in the car
turned 80 as to face each other. One
was occupied by u lady and the other
by Chinaman. Evidently the lady
did not relish the presence OF the Chi
naman. She explained to him that
she wanted to take the cushions and
their frames and place them length
wise across flcm seat TO seat. John
said all rightee,' aud got out in the
aisle while she proceeded to lie down
on the bed thus tmprovised, with he
head resting On her valise. She sup
posed that the Chinaman would take
the hint that the lady wanted to rest
in the space usually occupied by four
persons. But John at once proceeded
to crawl in and stretch himself by her
side, with his head on little bundle
of his own. The Chinese are an imi-
tative race, and like to do as others do,
you know. The lady, as soon rs she
discovered that she mad bed fellow,
got up little wildly and started for
the next car, to the infinite amusement
OF the passengers, who had been watch
ing the little scene with some interest.
John took no notice Of thefun be had
created, but went to sleep with the
whole bed to himself"

freedmen of their franchise by intimidation.

and inhuman and fraught with the utmost
peril to our institutions, the conduct of the
last Presidential canvass by the Democrats of
the South, in that they undertook by process
es that shame our civilization to nullfy indi-
rectly the Constitutional amendments adopted
to conserve the fruits of the victory of the re-
bellion, and to overthrow large nnajorities

leader especially of the North, since the

the United States ---.
The incendiary appeal and rebellious threats
of the Northern Democratic orators and news
papers, are such as to put to shame any dec.
laration that has thus far emanated from
Southern sources, and are deserving of the
severest censure. and condemnation. The
seventh resolution declares in Rutherford B.
Hayes that We have luan who is fully
identified with the great principles of the Re
publican party, and is imbued with proud
appreciation Of its past services, who is fitted
by ability and experience in public affairs, for
the responsibilities of the high office of Presi-
dent of the United States, and whose name
and career are guarantee of the administration
OF the government in the interests of all the
people, upon principles Of honest economy,
intelligence and fidelity to public trusts.
The eighth resolution declares that it is
matter of especial congratulation that in this
trying hour of the nations experience we have

and distinguished civilian U. s Grant. In
vincible upon the field of battle, he has proved
himself equally courageous in the administra-

A partial view of the success OF thi.

ing statistics, gathered with as much
care as posi- BILE. AL these figures will
fall below rather than exceed the real
facts. The number of Commandments in

increase being from $1,000 to $4,000.

aging over 100 pupils each. Two Fe-
male Orphan Schools have also been
founded, and are at present well sus-
tanned. Total amount invested in
schools ahd colleges about $500, ,0OO
In addition to these there are many
private schools and seminaries of much
merit maintained.
OF religious publications in circula-
ton at the close Of the last year, there
were one quarterly, six weekly and
four monthly papers, having circula.
ton of from 1000 TO Is, 900 each: also
number of Sunday School papers OF
large circulation. In ambition to these,
there have been published and put into
rculation by publishing houses of the
church considerable religious litera-
ture, in the f0rm of books, commec tar.

These figures show, by comparison
with the statistics of other leading
churches, this religious body, in point
of numbers, ranks third In the United
States, unless all schools Of Presbyteri-

will rank as fourth.
The mission work of this religious
body has not yet been so fully develop

The RUNNER Demonstration

Yesterday lot of Democratic bummers in
Ohio and Indiana initiated the famous march
and counter march of the King of France.
They marched to the State Capital, and then
marched back again. The performance was
done to order. The note of alarm had been
sounded from Washington. 1t said that the
leading Southern members were inclined to
accept the election of Hayes, and that the
Northern members had no plan, and were ir-
resolute, and that unless war cry was raised
from the country all was lost to the Democra-
cy, and there would Re peace and quiet to the
country. - IS a.rr,s e.raTa
Thereupon the party machinery was set at
work to fabricate an appearance of excite
ment in the Democratic masses. 1t was as
, much machine performance as the sheet-iron
thunder of the theater. But in vain doth the
fowler spread the net in sight of the, bird.
The wire-workers who ordered this demsn-
stration know that it is fabricated. The per-
sons who make it, and all who behold it,
know it is fabricated to, order. All know that
is fraud, and therefore it cheats nobody.
We call it the gathering of the hummer
Democrats, because the county meetings, to
work up this fraud, have been conspicuous
for the absence of the respectable portion of
the party, and of all who had anything to
lose, save the few who manage such things,
and follow politics as trade The resolutions
of their meetings express simply the desire of
these for Office. No one looks to them to de-
clare either factsor law on popular sentiment
They would overturn the Constitution and all
their precedents to elect Tilden now, and they
would repudiate this method next time, to
overthrow the peoples election of Repub-
lican. .isai afai ,sei--'.s ti'
And the same persons that pretend to de-
nounce the Louisiana Returning Board, upon
the pretext that it gave certificates to Electors
who had not received the majority of the
votes, pay special honors to Gov. Grover be-
cause he Illegally gave a certificate to person
who did not receive majority of the votes |
The chief Democratic hero at this time-the
only Democrat who receives party ovation
wherever he goes, is the Governor who tried |
to cheat the majority of the voters of Oregon |
out of an Elector, in order to elect Tilden by |
the fraud.
Realizing the shame and the impotence of |
their demonstrations, they now propose mass
gathering at Washington, to supervise the
counting of the vote. We suspect that the
more they demonstrate the more they will |
cause sober minded men in their own party to |
devise settlement by acquiescence 10 the
election of Hayes, and that their open declara-
tlon OF an intent to overthrow the legal cleo
ton by intimidation will only make the sup
porters of law and order more resolute. .-ICin.

This was voted down. The Democrats had
not that sense of fairness. This is trne of the
subcommittee which went to FeIiciana. A
similar request was made and voted down.
The evidence taken by these subcommittee
therefore, can be regarded in no other iieht
than as partisan as ex-parte Democratic testi-
mony. The Democrats insisted that the muir

negroes of the parish, however, believe it was.

Mr.. Crapo does not think that the Republi-
cans can attach so much importance to Eliza

says that, in every case where poll was
erected, proper legal affidavits of intimidation
were presented. He thinks that the Board
