". Dt'AAouo; containing Guo SuuTdSeS OF Guc
Cardinals. 1t commences with the opening
of the conclave, and is repeated twice day,
without even excepting the great feasts, such
as Christmas and Easter. No Cardinal pres
ent can refuse to take part in the vote; and
If any member of the holy college is con
fined in his cloister by sickness, it is decreed
by special bull of Gregory that commit
tee of Cardinals shall be appointed to get the
votes of their sick colleagues. The morn
ing ballot is taken after the celebration of
mass in the same chapel in which is deposited
the chalice, which serves as a ballot box; and
the afternoon ballot is preceded by the invo-
cation of the Holy Ghost, with the hymn,
Veni Creator SpirStus.
The ballot is secret in order to protect the
dissenting Cardinals from the hatred and re
venge of the new Pope. It is done under
conditions which prevent the possibility Of
fraud
After the preparing of the ballots, comes
the second phase in the ceremony, which oc-
ours during the ceremony of the voting.
This phase is divided into the following eight
parts: First, carrying the ballot; second,
taking the oath; third, putting the ballot in
to the chalice which is used as a ballot box:
fourth, mixing or shutting the ballots in the
chalice; fifth, numbering the ballots; sixth.
announcing 7, the vote; seventh, stringing the
ballots; and eighth, separating the ballots.
After having filled up, folded and sealed his
ballot, each cardinal, commencing with the
dean, takes it between the index finger and
thumb of the right hand, and advances with
the uplifted arm toward the altar, in the CEN
tire of which is a large chalice. Before the altar
the elector kneels, says short prayer, and
after rising, pronounces in loud and intel
iggible voice the following oath: 'sTestoy

After having taken the oath, he places the
ballot upon the paten and throws it into the

STEPHENS AND KEY.

Just now the Democratic press of
the country is getting up on its hind
legs and bowling because A. II. Steph-
ems, of Georgia, and D. M. Key, of Ten
nessee, q couple of RECONSTRUCTED
rebels have the temerity to oppose the
Democratic scheme under the lead of
Potter to unseat President Hayes.
Stephens and Key warn the Democrats
of the House against the shoals they
are approaching and call upon the con-
.,ervative people of the South to stand
by Hayes as their friend and as one
rhe legality of whose title cannot be
consistently assailed. This exasper-
ates the ''trooly loil'' Democratic pa
pers of the North who are giving any
thing but complimentary opinions of
shese two of their fellow-laborers in
she late Confederate cause.

POTTER'S INVESTIGATION.

Though Democratic members of Con-
gress have repeatedly insisted that the
proposed one-sided investigation was
rot to be inaugurated with any view
whatever of any attempt to disturb
the Presidential title, facts which have
evoked the real sentiments Of the DEM
cscrats in Congress indicated exactly
the reverse. The Democratic caucus
voted down a proposition that the in
vestigation does not involve any at
tempt to remove the President +; the
Democratic majority in open House re-
fused to accept declaration to the
same effect; and the Democratic Ma.
t;onal Committee has rejected a reso-
lation that no attack on the President S
title is intended. The individual as
snrances of Democratic Congressman
that President Hayes title is not to be
disturbed, can have but little weight
in the face of reiterated utterances to
the contrary effect of the representa-
tive body.

THE CURRENCY.

The persistent charge by the green
back organs that the cause of the pres
eat hard times and depression in bust
ness circles is due to contraction OF
TIE currency since the passage of the
resumption act in 1875 is shown by
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, in a re-
cent speech before the United States
Senate, to be unfounded. There is
actually now more money in this coun-
tSy than there was on the first day of
January, 1875 though the aggregate
volume of legal tender and national
bank notes is now somewhat less than
it was then, the increase in gold and
silver has much more than replaced
the retired paper. Instead of being
less than in 1875 the volume of money
exceeds what it was then by over
twenty millions of dollars; and not
only do the records show this increase
bat it is a universally recognized fact
that the money of today is better than
it was in 1875. By concession of both
the infationists and what are popular
" termed hard money men in Congress
it has been agreed that no legislation
is to take place which will interfere
with the general plan of resumption
adopted by Secretary Sherman, and
this condition of things renders specie
resumption at the date fixed by law
about as certain as any future event
can be.

THE PAPER MONEY OF FRANCE.

The Greenback people who cite the
SHANGHAI policy of France as particular
iy illustrating the beauties of the fl
nancial system which they have so ar
GENTLY espoused may be interested in
the information that the paper money
Of France is in fact what they despise
bank paper it is also limited in
amount and it's issue is confined to one
corporation--the Bank of France its
notes do not come so near being Gov
eminent paper as do our National
bank notes, as the United States Gov
erment is responsible for the payment
Of the latter, while the French Govern
lnent is not pledged to the redemption
of the former. The immense indemni-
ty imposed by Germany upon France
was not paid in Government currently,
as our Greenback friends would have
us believe, but was put into bonds
bearing five per cent. interest.

ST. CRoIx COUNTY ITEMS

Miss Dora Kimberly has been obliged
to suspend her school at Woodside for
two weeks owing to the sickness of
her mother. A teacher in a certain
district addresses her pupils in such
strong phrases as; ''You can't an
swer for you have no sense nor wit,
you little foel.'' The school in the
Hitchcock district. Hudson, is flourish
under the guidance of Miss Clough, a
daughter of the Judge. 1t is a query
with some teachers in this county, why
all teachers cry for more order, and
when they get it, they want less. Miss
Nina DIN, in district No. l, Hudson, is
having good success. There was a
male teacher who sat with his feet on
the stove, before rousing fire with a
pipe in his mouth, and had a third
reader pupil hear the second class, u
second class pupil the first, &c. When
demonstrated with for being in the
ruts, he admitted it, and said he was
so old he feared he would never get
out.

A GREENBACKER'S PLAN FOR CIV
ING POOR PEOPLE A CHANCE.

| As an Illustration of the demorali2

doctrines as enuciated by the writers

we feel constrained to quote senti-
ment recently expressed by a Green
| hacker who airs his opinions in re-
cent number of the Richland County
Observer, as follows: LET lis have
cheap money, SO cheap that the labor
ing man can earn, by working eight
hours, from three TO five dollars.
Then, if the merchants and manufac-
turers charge him an increased price
for their articles, they should be hung
to the nearest tree How is that for
craftsmanship If this sentiment is
not just as antagonistic to our form
of Government as those of the com.
mune whose ideas are becoming SO
prevalent and threatening in our lar
ger cities we are unable to distinguish
shade of difference. How long does
the author of such an Infamous propos-
iton suppose that this Republic would
retain it's present form of Government
il its destinies were to be shaped by
such set of fanatics as he himself and
thousands of his party have proven
themselves to bel While the expression
above quoted will be scoffed at by the
more intelligent members of the Green
back party as being utterly absurd yet
it is one which will meet with ready
response in the hearts of thousands
of the more ignorant who by their less
prosperous surroundings are prompt
ed to imagine that they are bitter
ly prosecuted. and having become des-
perate by reason of their more unfor-
tunate lot are eager to vote to place in
power those Inscriptions demagogues
by whom they are blandished and
who will cater to their morbid sensibll-
tiles, and thus subvert our free institu-
lions without in the least benefting
themselves.

in extra session at noon, Tuesday, June

eight Assemblymen were in attend

the officers of last winter were re-
