How Justice is Administered in the
South.

A Washington dispatch says:
"Mrs. Chisolm, widow of Judge
Chisolm, has returned to her posi-
ton as clerk in the Treasury De-
partment, from the trial of The
murderers of her husband. She
pronounces the trial a mockery of
Justice. The prisoners were on the
most intimate terms with the court
officials. Mrs. Chisolm was per-
mitted to answer few questions, and
those immaterial. Judge Ireland,
Mrs. Chisolm says, declared that
she had failed to prove that her hus-
band was voter or citizen of the
United States, and that, accordingly
he must instruct the jury to render
a verdict for defendants. Mrs.
Chisolm has abandoned property
worth $4,000 to $loo,ooo, and is
now working for her daily bread
because the mob will not let her
live in Mississippi with her children
in peace. Mrs. Chisolm heard
before leaving that Henry Gully
told the mob that there must be no
more killing at present, until this
matter was settled. Governor
Stone has kept silent throughout
the trial. Mrs. Chisolm says the
condition of affairs in Kemper
county is much worse than at any
time during the war. Then there
was military power to appeal to
for protection; now there is no
power to control the blood-thirsty
thugs which have full possession of
the country" Meanwhile General

DoORKEEPER POLK. of the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives, has
finally come to grief, the committee of
Investigation in his case having by a
vote of I to reported in favor of his
dismissal. It is question whether
Polk is not more sinned against than
SHINING. The trouble with him has
been too much of desire to accomo
date the Democratic members who
wanted positions for their favorites and
promised to procure the necessary
legislation to make it all right" The
secret leaked out in some way, how
ever, and Polk was caughtina dilemma
from which he has been unable to
escape, the members whom he accomo-
dated now leaving him in the lurch.
He threatens to make some damaging
disclosures. Polk is the third door
keeper of the House who has fallen by
the wayside for irregularities Of one
sort and another. Reform is neces-
sary."

A NUMBER of the leading citizens of
Milwaukee, on the 18th inst. held a
meeting and established an auxiliary
society of the Northwestern Honest
Money League. Hon. Z D Holtou
was chosen President; Robert Menzies
Secretary, and W. G.. Fitch, Treasurer
A strong Executive Committee was
also selected. The society adopted the
constitution of the Northwestern Hon
est Money League, and speeches in
favor of honest money were made by
Messrs. Holton, Nichols and Allen
The Executive Committee was instruct.
ed to take into consideration the advisa
bility of putting an honest money
ticket in the field at the coming cleo
ton, and to sink all political influences
between the two parties, Democratic
and Republican, which wss adopted

Democratic 1MaClfine" Work.

That there is strong bond of sym
pathy existing between the managers
of the Democratic party in this city
and the present Board of Street Com.
missioners, cannot be doubted. 1t is
natural, perhaps that this should be
So, for the Board is the offspring of the
Democratic party and very properly
looks to it for support. While the
parent has no cause to feel proud Of
the child, there is mutual admiration
and love existing worthy of more re-.
spectacle relationship.
If any one denies that there is a
scheme by the managers of the party
to perpetuate the rule of the men now
in power, will he explain the action of
the city committee in calling the con-
vention to nominate their successors at
so late day. If there was any dis
position to give the people an oppor-
tunity to organize an opposition move
ment-in case the nominees are not the
right kind of men-an earlier day for
the nominations would have been
named than the one designated. The
convention is to be held on the last
Friday in March, while the election
occurs the following Tuesday. It will
be seen therefore that the notice is
very short, and there is no doubt it
was made SO purposely to give the
regular party candidates an advantage.
There is nothing now left for the peo-
| pie to do but to call convention and
place city aud ward tickets in the field,
and teach these political tricksters that
they have over-reached the mark
Their conspiracy to continue the pres
ent dynasty, either by re. electing the
old Board. or substituting men of the
same stripe, equally unqualified and
vulnerable, should and will ignomin-
iously fail if the opposition thereto can
be aroused and united. A large ma
jority Of the voters, we believe, do not
wish another year of such gross mis-.
management and extravaganza as have
characterized the operations of the
present Board. The opposition needs
but to be crystallized to make itself
formidable and successful. There are
enough independent voters who do not
wear party collar in local politics to
wrest the government from the hands
of those now controlling it. When we
see our property being destroyed by
fire, we care not whether it is saved
through the efforts Of Republicans or
Democrats. And when we see the
city, through mismanagement and ig-
norance, if not fraud and corruption,
betrayed by men who we're elected to
look after its interest, we should not
hesitate to avail ourselves of the best
means at hand to avert a continuance
of the evil These are the sentiments
NJ p,apv tavpavorS Of both po1itioo1
parties, and are worthy of being acted
upon at this time. If the citizens of
Watertown who are so deeply concern
ed in this matter are wise, they will at
once organize in the interest of good
government, and nominate and elect
men to fill the municipal Offices who
will not betray their trusts, nor bring
discredit, financial or otherwise, upon

New Hampshire.

The returns are all in and show
that the Republicans achieved a
handsome victory in New Hamp-
shire. Gov. Prescott has about
1900 majority and both branches
of the Legislature are largely Re-
publican. 1t was hoped by the
opposition and feared by the Repub-
licans that the dissensions in our
ranks there over the Presidents
policy would result in the election
of the Democratic candidate for
Governor, but these anticipations
were not realized. Whatever differ
ences may exist among Republicans
touching matters of party policy,
they are a unit in their opposition
to the Democracy, and consider
anything preferable to a return of
that party to power. That the
New Hampshire Republicans were
animated by this feeling is shown
by the following from the Boston
Advertiser:
The great body of Republicans,
whether they sustain the Administration
in all its measures or not, have, during
the last fortnight, worked heartily
together for the sake Of principles which
will outlive administrations, and the per-
sonal quarrels and disappointments attend
ing them.

Gen. Anderson Vindicated.

Justice has been melted out at last
in the case of Gen Anderson. the
Supreme Court Of Louisiana hav-
Jog OF Monday last rendered decision
setting aside the verdict of the Court
below, aud ordered Gen. Anderson's
release. The opinion of the court
establishes fully, what has been claimed
by Gen. Anderson's friends, that the
prosecution was simply devilish in its
nature, having not the least foundation
to stand upon. This, coming from a
court whose members are Democratic,
and whose leanings and sympathies if
any exist, are with the Democrats. is
doubtly significant, and most effectually
disposes of the charge Of Fraud against
Gen. Anderson and the other members
of the Returning Board 1t is pre-
sumed that the Democrats having now
been driven from this point will! seek
some other refuge where they may
hope to find capital to bolster up the
waning fortunes of their party.

We do not know whether the farce
enacted last spring of holding two
charter elections is to be repeated this
year or not. Assemblyman Finn,
who was the author of the brilliant
scheme probably is advised as to
whether there was any legislation this
winter changing it, but he is exceed
ingly careful to keep the information
to himself. There does not appear to
be any good reason for leaving the
people in ignorance of legislative do
ings concerning our local affairs, but
Finn probably has some object in
view that the outside world is not per.
mitted to see. However, the secret
cannot be kept much longer. Election
day is near at hand, and then we viii
find out whether it is to be single OF

VIRGINIA has a bankrupt treas
ury. The Auditor of Public
Accounts reports only SOB in his
hands, nothing coming in for taxes,
$4,000 due the banks, which
refuse to loan more, with nothing to
meet current expenses but coupons
at a discount of 80 per cent. There
is about 100000 balance due on
taxes, and coupons enough already
due to absorb this amount, with
$6OO,OOO more coming due on the
lst of July. The wise ones are
beating about for some means to
meet this emergency, which is the
direct result of Democratic extrava-
gance. In Virginia the Democrats
have no opposition to speak of, and
have had none for years.

Ex-Governor Moses. of South
Carolina recently published state
ment that Tilden was cheated out
of the electoral vote of that state by
the canvassers who manipulated the
returns in favor of Hayes. The
story has been thoroughly exploded,
however, by persons who are in a
better position to know all about
the facts than Moses. The Charles
ton Ne7os, Democratic, admits the
falsity ofthe charge and says: "We
have every reason to believe that,
on the face Of the returns as submit
ted to the State canvassers, the
Hayes electors were elected. No
counting in was necessary"
The House of Representatives last
Saturday knocked in the head the bill
appropriating $4,000 to the payment
of Southern mail contractors for SER
vices performed before the war. These
are the claims which it was shown the
other day had been once paid by the
Southern Confederacy with the pro-
ceeds of moneys, stamps and other
property stolen from the U. S. Govern
ment at the commencement of the
rebellion When the bill came up in
its order on Saturday, the enacting
clause was stricken out, which finally
disposes of it until it is presented in
some other shape. There are plenty
more bills of similar character which
should be treated in the same way.
