Seyen Hundred Wives.

The countries wherein the histori-
cal characters of the Bible figured,
are still governed by quite the same
class of laws that governed them
thousands of years ago.
The Bible student is amazed at the
habits of the people spoken of in that
good book, when he is told by it that
David, Solomon. and many other
highly-praised characters had num-
Der of wives living at one time. He
is inclined to pronounce the condi-
ton of the world then as fearfully
bad Measuring all the world from
one standpoint, he sees the world
only as he sees it here at home, and
as he reads it in his good book, but
by and by he learns that in the old
country, whereof his blessed book
speaks, they live as they did when
the Bible was written, and have,
among oiherinstitutions, justas many
wives as a man can or cares to keep.
Only last week a despatch from across
the ocean stated that the Minister OF
War of the Governor of Egypt has
seven hundred wives. Does the
world moye3

By the Confederate bogus returns
Tilden had 4,5SS majority. By the
report of the Returning Board, after
the frauds had been eliminated as far
as practicable, Hayes had 1,406 ma
jority. These corrections wiped out
6,09i OF the false and pretended Til
den majorities in the State
A few corrections of notorious
frauds in some other parishes left q
majority of the legal votes for Hayes
and Wheeler. What the Democrats
who argued before the Arbitration
Board demanded that the Tribunal
should set aside the canvass made by
the State Returning Board, and gather
up the cast-out, fraudulent, and bull
dozed votes. and count them for Til
den This a majority of the Tribu-
nal have decided would be unlawful
and unconstitutional. and cannot be
done without utterly disregarding
the rights of the State. Because
they refused to trample upon the
laws and rights of Louisiana, they
are denounced and villifed by the
reckless and desperate class of par
tisans and office-seeke-s.

Here was Republican majority of
nearly 1000 utterly wiped out, and a
Confederate majority of 4,5SS substi-
tuted therefor, making a change in
the result Of 1863. The Tilden ma
jority IN the whole State is claimed
to be 6,549. It is thus seen that if
there had been fair election held in
these FIVE parishes, the majority for
Hayes would have exceeded 1000 in
the State. The registered vote in the
five parishes showed about 10000
Republicans TO 5000 Confederates /;
but by bull-dozing and murder the
5000 Confederu.cs succeeded in beat
ing 10000 Republican votes and re-
turning for themselves the comforta-
bic majority of 4, 4,5SS for Tilden!
When these monstrous returns
came before the State Returning
Board, it called for testimony as to
the degree of intimidation, fraud and
assassination that had been practiced,
and, after hearing and reading the
evidence of several thousand witnes-
ses, the Board proceeded to purge
the returns by throwing out the votes
cast in the bull-dozed precincts, as the
laws of Louisiana made it their sworn
duty to do. with this result:

Five Thousand Dollars for a Wife.

Will Smith, aged 10, who lived near
Liberty. Indiana, became widowed some
years ago, and tad since lived in entire
seciusion, was deaf, demented. A few
week, ago he offered $4,000 to any
Que who would furnish him a wife.
The announcement created merriment
at the time, but nothing further was
thought of 1t till this morning it was an-
nOunceed that the old man was mar
ried to MISS PnGbe Johns. a highly
respected young lady, aged II. The
old mans offer had been taken IN hand
BY Powell Shade, with whose family
the young woman lived. and Shade re-
cerved the $1,000, $4,000 of which
was paid to the girls father, the girl
herself receiving as an inducement a
deed from the old man for his farm OF
200 acres of very valuable land.-X

Inauguration Day on Sunday.

As Inauguration day fails on Sunday,
Aareh 1, the question has arisen in re-
gard to the propriety of offic al ceruon-
monies on that date, or on the following
Monday. In 1921 the 4th of March
came on Sunday, and james Monroe,
the President elect, submitted the case
to Chief Justice Marshall, who gave
tae following opinion "TLe psgeantry
of q Presidential Inauguration upon the
Christian Sabbath would be against the
spirit aud genius Of our American
institutions, CUSTOMS, and laws; there
fore, its pomp and circumstance must
be deferred until q secular day. Mean

THE CASE FAIRLY STATED on THE
EQUITIES.


From the Chicago Tibune.l
The argument that has been made
before the Board of Arbitration on
the Louisiana case would make a
pretty large volume, but yse can state
the gist Of the ease ia a few words.
There are fiity-nine counties, or par
ishes, as they are called, in Louisiana.
The Presidential election was held
with tolerable fairness in fifty-four of
the fifty-nine parishes; but in five
every species of fraud, violence and
villainy were practiced by the White
Liners to wipe out the strong Repub-
lican maiorities therein, and make
them return heavy majorities for Til
den For the purpose of easy COM
parisOn, We place side by side the re-
suit Of the elections of 1874 and 1876.
The former election was well contest
ed on both sides, but the White
Liners did not resort to bull-dozing
and assassination to influence the
Republican voters:
