which calls that in question is itself put into
a questionable attitude. We do not here

There is this disadvantage about the new
system-and all interested will quickly find
it out-that whenever offices are at stake Of
sufficient importance to justify q consider
able outlay OF money, it will be possible for
candidates to pay taxes for the bummers in
order to secure their votes, and in such
cases success will beapt to depend chiefly,
il not entirely, upon the length Of the purses
opposing aspirants may have available for
this species OF corruption. The elimination
OF non-taxpayers from the voting class is
an excellent thing, but if the improvement
is to be permanent it will have to be put be-
yond the reach OF so cheap device as the
manufacture OF voters at dollar Or two
per capita.-C Chicago Times.
Nobody in Virginia is SO yerdant as to
suppose that the requirement Of the prepay
ment Of the capitation-tax is to stop people
from voting. The object OF it is to put
money into the treasury. It's no new thing
here. Thirty years ago q man had to pay
his taxes before he could vote. The result
was then that the candidate or the party
paid the tax for the voter. So it will be
hereafter. There Is no good reason for sup
posing that the contrary will be the case.

The Hellenic Factor IN the Eastern CUES
ton, Contefnp Rev., December, 1861
William Pitt said, in 1902, TINT the true
doctrine OF The balance Of power In the East
o. Europe was that the influence Of Russia
should not be allowed to increase nor that
OF Turkey to decline. Wellington called
the confirmation Of Greek independence by
the victory Of Navarino an untoward event.
Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, however,
whose deaths were as sincerely mourned In
Greece as in America, hailed that battle rs
the triumph OF sister people in struggle
which the United States were the first among

Is, 100000 OF the population Of European
Turkey, less than 100000 are Ottomans;
the rest-Slavonians, Greeks, Wallachians,
Albanians-profess the Greek religion or

Miltiadcs, Themisrocles, it may be pre-
sumed, would adopt the Hellenic idea
were they now in Greece. But, as
a late American ambassador at Athens
affirms, these men are remembered by
the modern Greek as if they were

by individuals, the Greeks in European
Turkey are to the Turks rs six tn one; but
estimating them by their wealth they are as
thirty to one. In view Of these facts, and
with the clash Of Russian arms on the Da-
nube, shall we not renew our enthusiasm
for Greece? [Applause.]

We add our voice to the many which
have already been raised in defence Of thu
circular OF President HAYES asking certain
editors to send their papers TO him. Ht

absurd to say that he ought to pay for these
papers. He will read only such articles a:

MAYOR OF FARMvILLE.--At the recent
local election in Farmville, MIR. CoWAN, OF
the Farmville Mercury associate OF Mr.. ST.
ASDREw), was elected Mayor OF the town
by good majority. He is very worthy
member of the journalistic profession, and
is properly appreciated by his fellow-citi-
zens. We are gratifed to see the confidence
placed in the class. Petersburg led OF, and
now Farmvillc follows. Some illiberal and
unapprcciativc persons have been inclined
to suspect that order and system are not
commonly found in the character Of the
editor. 1t is great mistake. They, indeed
live in very excited realm, and have sc
much to do with the public troubles that now
and then they fly off and commit blunder
or do much GUESSING. But they are the very
best men to value order, and act wisely fol
it's preservation. The decorum and serenity
OF Petersburg and Farmville will prove the
fitness OF editors TO take care OF the public
peace and dignity. Well be bound Tor the
chief magistrates Of both towns.

The murder Of one man in Mississippi is

to the Governor OF Mississippi, because he
has not brought the murderers to Justice.
No decent man will attempt to excuse the
murder, OF Chisholm, desperate character
though he was. But the murder Of Chisholm
was innocence itself as compared to the
fiendish attempt to murder, by poison, sixty
miners at Streator, Ill; yet the Governor Of
Illinois has taken no steps in the matter,

Two GOVERNORS There is a way to make

Governor Hartranft appears to have set foot
on that way. There is a way to make JUS
tice mockery, a by-word, and kissing,
and Governor Stone, OF Mississippi, appears
to have adopted that method. These differ
ing modes are characteristic of two distinct
orders OF civilization. The first prevails in
Pennsylvania, and elsewhere in the North,
and the second prevails wherever slavery
cursed the land so late as fourteen wears
ago. Governor aHartranft has issued war
rants for the execution of sixteen murder
ers, who will pay the penalty Of their crimes

by the county court a year ago to make an
audit Of the Luzerne county finances for the
past seven years have finished their labors,
and the result will be published tomorrow.
It reveals record OF official dishonesty I'M
paralleled in the previous history OF the
county, and shows how for seven years
past the commissioners, trcasurers, shertls.
clerks, and others have stolen boldly large
sums from the treasury. The thc1ts took
all possible shapes, such as bogus contracts,
changing records, altering figures, retaining
taxes, &c. Positive proof was furnished
by the auditor OF $4,000 stolen from time
to time, but the full amount Of the seven
years. stealinss will doubtless reach $780,
900. Some OF the dishonest officials, includ-
ing an ex.treasurer, three county commits

been already convicted, and are now i'll
