50 Bucket Shops" and "Puts and
Calls"

The New York and Philadelphia pa
pers are inveighing against the "bucket
shop " system. that has become q fsa-
ture in the stock markets Of those cities.
These bucket shops are so closely al.
lied to the miserable ''put and CALI shops
that found u kind OF ephemeral favor In
our market for a short time. that many
OF the structures OF the Eastern press
against the bucket system applies with
equal force to the put and call business.
The Philadelphia Laqairer says Of the
bucket shops:
The stock "bucket shop" Is compare.

We MUST MEET A SOLID SOUTH

Attorney General Dsvsns is doing all
in his power to secure the freedom OF
elections in the South. but unfortunate
ly. n things are now. he can do but lit
tie. In most Of the lately rebellious
States the Democrats have succeeded in
30 thoroughly terrorizing Republicans.
aud especially colOred Republicans. that
there is really but small need Of going to
tho expense Of holding IN election next
month at all. For all practical purposes.
IL would be just a safe. and far more
eIpedient. to authorize the Democratic
Governors Of these States to issue GER
tideates OF election to tho Democratic
candidates. aud thus save a good deal OF
OF money. and the lives OF a few reckless
Republicans who are obstinate enough
TO insist ON voting their ticket in the
face OF rebel shotguns. But as the farce
Of an election in these States is to 10 en-
acted. We arc glad that the Attorney
General has taken what steps he could
to enforce the law. Ho has instructed
the United States Attorney in Montgom-
cry. Alabama. to arrest and bring to
justice all who offend against the laws
OF Congress intended to protect the
freedom and purity OF elections"
Under this order u lew Of the more
prominent bulldosers will possibly DO
arrested. but let no Republican imagine
that the result will DO a free election in
Alabama. The Democrats Of the State are
too firmly secured in their power to AL
init OF any such superstition. We cannot
coun, upon a single Southern State this
Fall. Tho South Is solid in the fight.
and the issues are as clearly defined as
they were in 1860. The rebels are bat
Ting now to regain through Congress
what they lost through treason. The
North. II 1t is wise aud patriotic. will
meet the South in solid array at the polls
next month. Once give u old enemies
control OF the National Legislature and
the disastrous effects will become APP
parent in a remarkably short time. Ne
vads, We are assured. will do her duty.
rs Colorado has done hers. and the indi.
cations are that all the loyal States have
taken the alarm. and will meet this new
danger bravely and successfully.

nEroRM IN CIPHER

A new light is now being thrown upon
tn. peculiar system Of "roform" Of
which samu ]. Tilden Is the bright
and shining spos,le. During the cam
paisn in which tho Democrats sought to
force this man upon the people OF the
country as their President. there was q
mystery about this much-vaun,ed Ere
form which the ordinary mind could
not fathom. IL was made a rallying cry
for all the Disconnected spirits Of the
country; but few, very few. knew its
meaning. The translation Of the word.
in its Democratic Specification. is now
being given to the world, in the shape Of
certain cipher dispatches which passed
between Florida and Louisiana and
Oregon. aud New York. at the time
when the cry Of reform" was loudest.
1t appears from this TRANSLATION that
reform" meant bribery; that 1t meant
the election OF Tildsn by any means,
however base; and that the men who
advocated 1t were prepared to stoop to
the most disgraceful Of crimes in order
to seat their great High Priest in tbs
Executive chair. after the people had re-
pudiated him at the polls.
Mr. Marble. that pure patriot and
master mind Of the Democratic party,
is mixed up in this questionable ere
form" in q very unpleasant manner
He was one Of Tilden's friends who
went to Florida and engaged in the con.
temptible business Of attempting to buy
up an elector Of that State. The tsls-
grams now for the first time brought TO
the light Of the day. are proof that he
was one OF the principals in this huge
crime. Fifty thousand dollars was tho
price OF the elector sought. and but for a
fortunate mistake In one OF the cipher
kilograms sent by Tilden to Manton
Marble. the conspiracy would have been
consummaisd. and to-day this apostle
Of reform" Tildsn. would have occs-
pied the highest Office In the land, Sc
cured by unblushine aud bare-faced
bribery. Manion Marble has just is
sued a pamphlet defending his friend
Tildsn in his position on the Electoral
Commission Bill. II is now in order
for him to defend himself. and show
cause. II cause there be. why he should
not DO ranked as first among tho great
political criminals Of this exceptional
criminal age.

A p%EMocRArIc BLUSDER.

senator Jones, Of Nevada In q speech at
Virginia City the other day. announced,
In . delicate manner. that he was . candi-
date for reelection 10 the United States
senate. Jones silver record Is so good
that he will probably DO kept in his seat by
Democratic votes.
The above extract is clipped from the
Louisville Couri,r.Joundi, "a newspaper
which boasts OF q sound Democratic
record extending over more years than
the ago OF Nevada as q State Of the
Union. The Journal has m~isjudged the
character OF the Democrats OF this State
wofully. Us the above sentiment demon
s~,rates. Notwithstanding the silver
record OF Senator Jones, there has not
been a single Democratic Convention in
the State which has not pledged its leg
~islative nominees TO vote against him,
and this in the face OF tho fact that his
defeat would be construed into q repudi-
alton by Nevada OF his entire course on
the silver bill. Had the Democrats been
wise they would have done what the
Courier. Journal imagined that they would
do: they would have endorsed Jones.
and thus shared equally with the Re.
publicans the strength which his name
will give to the tickets. BY regulating
him they force every Democratic friend
Of silver reconciliation to vote the Re-
publican legislative teket. and the result
will be that our next Legislature will be
so strongly Republican that the Demo-
Gratis will cut no figure in il. 1t was q
very stupid blunder, and tbs party CON-
hitting il is deserving OF no sympathy
for the defeat which awaits 1t.
