ing his way into the hearts of his coun-

upon his sword to ponder that the day
would come when his portrait would
look down ~benignantly from over a bar
upon two red-nosed snoozers putting
away bad whisky, and jamming their
noses into each others eyes, as they
discussed, in mangled English, the
boons and blessings of freedom?

ELECTION FRAUDS IN THE SOUTH.


Besides the customary intimidation
which prevailed throughout the South
ern States at the recent election and
which prevented thousands of legal
voters from exercising their right of
suffrage, system of ballot-box stuff
fling was resorted to in South Carolina
which completely eclipses all attempts
of s'repeaters' to create Democratic
majorities in our larger cities. In
South Carolina many of the Democratic
tickets We're printed upon small slips
of tissue paper, a number of which
were folded inside the usual ballot
and voted by single individual. As
high as twenty Democratic votes were
thus cast by a single voter, and the
Democratic inspectors lmbluShingly
counted the tissue paper ballots so
illegally cast. However astonishing
these outrageous frauds may appear,
they are in perfect keeping with the
general line of tactics adopted by the
Democrats of the South who have no
more respect for the Government
which magnanimously restored them
to the rights of citizenship than they
entertained for that Government while
defying its authority by armed force.
President Hayes, Immediately upon
his inauguration, adopted a policy CT
Cancellation by which he hoped to
allay that bitter sectional feeling be-
tween the North and the South which
had existed for years, and few of the
recognized leaders of the South seemed
to second his efforts in that direction;
but those leaders have either been I'M
able to exercise beneficent influence
over their followers or have receded
from that position of Cancellation
which they had voluntarily assumed,
and the noble efforts of President
Hayes to unite the North and South in
a common sentiment of devotion to
the interests of the entire Union and
secure to the whole people the bless
ings which the prevalence of such a
sentiment would imply. have proven
